[ Gladio drags his knuckles along the line of Noct's jaw, feather light, and he can feel his pulse against his fingers, steady and strong. All of him is beautiful, his hair a dark halo on the sheets, those dark blue eyes an ocean Gladio wants to drown in. Pressing into that hand, Gladio pins Noct with his eyes, the smallest hint of a smile playing on his lips, kissing that thumb as it swipes across them.

And he feels that sound rattle around his ribcage, bright and warm and he wants to hear more of it, wants to carve out pieces of himself so that he can keep it there forever. Gladio is still so aware of his body, how heavy it is, but he likes the way he fits against Noctis, like they've always been perfectly hewn to meet like this, two halves meant to come together.

Answering with his own low, desperate sound, Gladio's mind is narrowed to the jut of Noct's hips biting into his own, the rise and fall of their chests, the fingernails digging into his nape. ] Noctis, [ is breathed against the prince's throat, sealed there with another kiss with just the edge of teeth. Gladio allows a little more of his weight to rest on him, but he's careful, listening to that heartbeat and the sounds Noct is making, never wanting to hurt him. ] You like this. [ It's a statement more than a question, all heat and teasing with an undercurrent of affection. ]

[ This is suddenly, unexpectedly slow, and Noctis isn't complaining. He likes having time to drink in the gentle expression warming Gladio's face, the way desire brightens his eyes to a molten, sunny amber. He thinks it's the prettiest thing he's ever seen, and it makes his heart stutter in his chest, his own eyes wide and lips parted in quiet awe. The fact that this is being offered to him is so far beyond anything Noctis thought he could have. It's almost too much.

And then those lips are on his neck, a ghost of teeth against his skin, and Noctis is clawing at Gladio's shoulder with a shaky warning sound. ] Gladio. [ He huffs a laugh right after, shifting a leg around that hip to give it a squeeze. As if he wouldn't retaliate. ] Watch it, [ Noctis rumbles, another chuckle running through him. It's nice, being like this with him. Playful and soft. He doesn't feel hurried, though he steals another kiss because he can, reaching up to run his fingers through Gladio's hair. If they could lay like this all night, tangled together, he'd be utterly content. ]

[ Tracing along the curve of Noctis' mouth, the cut of his jaw, Gladio can't help but want to draw this out, to make this moment last a lifetime. Outside this bed, duty waits for both of them, the lives they were born into, the burdens they have been tasked to uphold. None of that matters in here, and for as long as he can have it, Gladio just wants this, Noctis' deep blue eyes and the flutter of his heartbeat and the shaky, breathless way he says his name.

Gladio grins against his throat, worrying that same spot with his lips, his teeth, going against his better judgement to leave the beginnings of a mark there. His eyes will find it again in the morning, he knows, and for the rest of the day, the sight of it reminding him of this, their time together. A shiver races along his spine then. ] Keep saying my name like that and I'm not gonna be able to stop, [ he says, his own warning spoken like an oath against pale skin. Shifting his weight, Gladio reaches down to guide Noct's other leg around his waist and he settles heavier against his hips, melting against the prince's mouth with a soft noise. ]
