Chapter Text

Ignis walked over to the park bench and sat down. He took in a deep breath and exhaled with a groan, slouching in the process. He loosened his tie with one hand, while fishing through his briefcase for his phone with the other. He grabbed his phone and rolled his neck and shoulders to release tension, wincing when he felt a pop.

He sighed “Let’s see…” He opened his calendar and read out what he had coming up. “Got a meeting with the board on Monday. A quarterly report on Tuesday. Meeting with the Niflheim Group Wednesday….” He trailed off reading the rest of the week.

‘Another week full of meetings and big reports.’ He thought. ‘If I want any chance of finishing work, I’ll have to come in tomorrow. Maybe even--‘

“AHH!”

A nearby scream and a loud splash snapped Ignis back from his thoughts. “What was that?” Ignis asked aloud. He looked around. There didn’t seem to be anyone else nearby. He knew there was a small lake just down the trail.

“HELP!”

Ignis jumped up. He started running, briefcase and phone in hand, towards the scream. Once he arrived, he saw someone struggling near the small pier. ‘Maybe they got their leg caught on something.’ Ignis dropped his phone and briefcase on the ground and quickly kicked off his shoes. He ran off the pier and dove in the lake. It was hard to see, but it looked like the person’s leg was wrapped up in a plant.

Ignis swam over and pulled on the plant, managing to rip it off and free the person’s leg. He swam up and pulled them over to the shore. He got out of the lake and stood up. And only then did he realize he jumped in with his work clothes. “Goddamnit…” He cursed to himself. He heard coughing behind him and turned around.

“FUCK!” A gruff voice cursed. A young man with black hair was on the ground on all fours, still coughing up water. After a few moments he finally stopped and slowly stood up. He was wearing overalls with a black shirt under it. “Damn it. I’m all wet.” He undid the straps of his overalls.

Ignis' eyes grew wide as the young man took off his shirt, exposing his chest, to wring it out. Ignis looked around to make sure no one else was around. Ignis walked over cautiously. As he got closer, he noticed that, despite his thin frame, the young man seemed to have some well-defined muscles, particularly his chest and abs. Ignis realized he was practically ogling the man and squeezed his eyes closed and shook his head, trying to focus.

“H-hello? Are you okay?” Ignis asked as he opened his eyes, ensuring to keep his eyes on the young man’s face

“Huh?” The young man nearly jumped, finally looking up and noticing Ignis.

‘Goddamnit… Not only does he have a sexy body but a cute face too!’ Ignis thought. He adjusted his glasses. “Are you okay?” He asked again.

“Oh… OH!” The young man realized what had happened. He quickly moved over and hugged Ignis. Ignis held his breath and felt his body stiffen. “Thank you so much.” The young man released Ignis. “I’m good now. Just fucking wet.

“R…” Ignis stopped as he heard his voice crack. He wasn’t sure if the young man noticed. He coughed and started again. “Right… What happened?”

“I was fishing over there at the pier.” The young man pointed behind him “And as I was trying to reel something in, I lost my footing and fell in. I was fine at first, but I saw my pole had fallen in too. So, I dove back in and to get it. As I was coming back up, my leg got caught on that vine. Thanks again for getting me out.” He holds out his hand. “I’m Noctis. You can call me Noct.”

“Noct…” Ignis took his hand and shook it. “Nice to meet you. I’m Ignis. You can call me…. Uhhh … Ignis.” It’s been so long since anyone called him by a nickname. He couldn’t even remember any.

“Hmm. Nice to meet you, Iggy.” Noctis returned the greeting.

Ignis was a bit taken aback. “Ignis.” He reiterated.

“I like Iggy better. It’s cute, like you.” Noctis smiled.

Ignis could feel the heat rising in his cheeks. He coughed, which seemed to amuse Noctis. “Do you live close by?” Ignis asked. “I imagine it would be a pain driving home if you were far.”

“Oh I didn’t drive. I got dropped off. And I don’t live near here, but it’s okay. I was just gonna call my driver to pick me up when I was done, which…” Noctis looked down at himself, still dripping wet,”… would be now I guess.”

“Driver?”

“Ah.” Noctis quickly covered his mouth, as if he revealed a deep dark secret. “Shit. Sorry if that came off as bragging. I swear I’m not some ‘spoiled rich kid’.” Noctis seemed suddenly defensive.

“I believe you.” Ignis replied. “And I would never dream of calling you that.” He added, hoping to assuage Noctis.

Noctis smiled, seemingly relieved. “That’s good. It was nice meeting you. And thanks again for helping me.”

“R-right. Yes. You’re very welcome.” Ignis was a bit taken aback by Noctis’ nonchalance over the situation he was currently in. Dripping wet, in a practically empty park, having to wait who knows how long to be picked up. “Nice meeting you as well…”

Noctis smiled in response and went back to wringing out the water from his clothes. Ignis turned on his heel and took a step but stopped himself. He closed his eyes. He lived close by. It would be nothing for him to offer to allow Noctis to wait at his apartment. But would that be forward? And could he trust Noctis, a total stranger, in his home?

Ignis exhaled and whipped back around. “I would hate to leave you stranded here. I live just up the road. You could wait there. We look about the same size, so you could borrow some fresh, dry clothes. You could even take a shower if you feel like it. And have your driver pick you up from there.”

Noctis turned to Ignis and blinked a couple times. “Really?” He asked.

“It beats waiting out here alone in the sun.” Ignis added.

“Yeah! Let’s do it.” Noctis agreed, much more quickly than Ignis expected.

“Alright. Let’s get our things and head to my car. Your fishing rod should fit.” Ignis said. He couldn’t help but smile.

As Ignis said, they picked up their things and went to Ignis’ car, and he drove off to his apartment building.

Ignis unlocked the door to his apartment and took a few steps in. He dropped his briefcase next to his sofa and turned to motion to Noctis to enter.

“Wooow.” Noctis looked around. It was a small yet upscale apartment with a nice sized living room and kitchen. “This is a nice place.”

“Thank you.”

“Did I get picked up by a secret mob boss or something.” Noctis joked.

“Oh no nothing like that.” Ignis chuckled. “Just a regular old business executive.”

“Business executive huh?” Noctis eyed Ignis up. “Don’t executives usually live in big ass penthouses that are too big for their own good?”

Ignis furrowed his brow. “I guess so. But I don’t need all of that.” Ignis gestured around him. “A place to sleep, relax, cook, and bathe. That’s all I need.”

“Ah well that’s good to hear.” That answer seemed to have eased Noctis. “Ah, speaking of bathing…. You said I could take a shower?” Noctis asked.

“Oh. Yes!” Ignis turned, facing away from Noctis. “Bathroom is right down the hall and to the left.” He pointed ahead of him. “You can leave your wet clothes outside the door. And I’ll put them in the dryer so they’ll be dry when you leave.”

“Thanks!”

Ignis was startled by Noctis’ voice. He was closer than he thought. Noctis began walking down the hallway, and Ignis felt his heart stop.

Noctis was naked.

Ignis blinked a couple times and rubbed his eyes. But he wasn’t hallucinating. Noctis was naked right in front of him. It felt like time was going in slow motion. Ignis took in every inch and every curve he could see. A muscular back. Toned legs. A small waist. And a surprisingly large butt on someone with such a slender frame. If he didn’t know any better, it looked like Noctis was walking in such a way that his butt bounced with every step he took.

When Noctis arrives at the bathroom door, he stops and turns to face Ignis, showing off the rest of his body. He stays like that for a few moments before giving Ignis a wink and going into the bathroom.

Ignis was stunned. He took in a heavy breath, realizing he hadn’t been breathing the whole time. ‘What was that?’ The sound of running water from the bathroom broke Ignis from his daze. ‘Was that an invitation? What should I do? The proper thing to do would be to wait out here…’ Thinking that, Ignis realized he also desperately needed a shower after jumping in that lake. Ignis inhaled and slowly walked to the bathroom door.

He couldn’t hear anything besides the shower going. He reached for the door now but stopped when he saw his hand trembling. He clenched his hand for a few seconds and released. This stopped the trembling. He grabbed the doorknob and turned it slowly and as quietly as possible.

’Unlocked…’

He didn’t want to open the door just yet so he turned the doorknob back. He walked back to the front door and picked up the pile of clothes Noctis left there. The image of Noctis’ naked body briefly flashed in his head.

‘Soon.’ He went to put the clothes in the dryer. He then started to remove his own clothes and put them in the dryer. He could feel his heart pounding in his head as the layers came off.

Finally, after turning on the dryer, he stood there. Naked in front of his own bathroom. “Here goes nothing.” He closed his eyes and opened the door.

“It’s about time!” Noctis called from the shower, his head poking out behind the curtain. “If you took any longer, I was going to get you myself!”

Ignis laughed nervously. “Well…” He cleared his throat and put his glasses down on the counter. “I had to… pick up the clothes that someone so rudely left by my front door without a care.” Ignis quipped.

“Wow, that is rude. Who would do that?” Noctis replied.

“Ha. Who indeed?” The playful banter soothed Ignis nerves. He walked towards the bath and pulled back the curtain.

“Hey Iggy~” Noctis said playfully. His back was against the bathroom wall.

“He—” Before Ignis could finish his response, Noctis took his hand and pulled him in. Ignis Nearly fell, and braced himself on the wall, ending up pressed up against Noctis.

Without another word, Noctis wrapped his arms around Ignis’ neck and kissed him. Ignis pushed down any nervousness he felt and leaned into it. He reached back to close the shower curtain then wrapped his arms around Noctis’ waist.

They kissed and moved around in the shower. Ignis' mind was racing. It felt like his head was full of static. He had no thoughts. He was just moving on instinct. Their kisses became deeper, more passionate, more carnal. They barely came up for air. They eventually ran into another wall, just under the shower.

“Fuck…Me…” Noctis moaned out in a breathy voice.

Ignis took a step back as Noctis turned to face the wall. He leaned forward to place his hands against the wall and pushed his ass out towards Ignis. Ignis reached down and grabbed Noctis’ hips. Ignis saw this ass as Noctis walked away from him a few minutes ago. But it was different now being so close to it. It was so soft and squishy.

‘Beautiful…’

Ignis wasn’t thinking, just moving on instinct. He got down on his knees. He spread Noctis’ ass and buried his face in it.

“Ohhh fuck!” Noctis moaned as he felt Ignis tonguing his hole.

“I… didn’t know… you were into… that…!” Noctis moaned out. He started stroking his cock. “Fuck…”

Ignis gave it one last lick before spitting on it and standing up. He lined up his hard dick with Noctis wet hole and rubbed the tip against it. “Ready?”

Noctis pushed back and rubbed against Ignis’ dick. “Please?” he pleaded.

Ignis pushed in. He groaned, practically growled, in Noctis’ ear as he penetrated him. “Fuck… so tight…”

“You’re so…big…” Noctis moaned out as Ignis finally bottomed out inside him.

Ignis was breathing heavily. His heart was pounding, his head felt hazy, and there was a slight ringing in his ears. He was feeling overwhelmed, but he didn’t want to stop. “I’m going to start moving.” Noctis just groaned in response.

Ignis began moving. He started slowly, pulling out and pushing back in gently. Noctis was still tight around him, so he wanted to be as gentle as possible. Noctis seemed to be getting impatient, as he pushed back against Ignis’ dick before Ignis was ready to push it back in. “Patience.” Ignis growled into his ear, while firmly gripping his hips.

“O-okay…” Noctis moaned out.

Soon enough, Noctis started to feel looser around him, and Ignis began to pick up speed. The air filled with the noises of Noctis’ moans, Ignis grunts, and wet skin slapping together as Ignis thrust harder and harder.

Ignis let go of Noctis’ hips and leaned over his back. With one hand, he grabbed Noctis’ chin and brought his head back and started kissing him. And with his free hand, he started stroking Noctis’ dick.

“I’m close.” Ignis said between kisses.

“Breed… me…” Noctis gasped.

Ignis gave him one last kiss and stood up straight, moving his hands back to Noctis’ hips. He started pounding even harder than before. Noctis took over stroking his dick. With one final thrust, Ignis came deep inside Noctis. Shortly thereafter, Noctis came all over the floor of the tub. They both panted as they tried to catch their breaths. Ignis grunted as he slowly pulled out of Noctis.

“Fuuuuuuck….” Noctis moaned. He finally stood up straight. “You are wild…”

Ignis felt dizzy. He was still breathing heavily. “Let’s…. get clean.” Ignis' mind was still in a haze. All he could think about was getting clean. Noctis seemed to agree. Ignis went to work lathering both of them up and scrubbing their bodies. Noctis seemed to be talking, but Ignis couldn’t really register what he was saying, so he just grunted in response.

“All clean!” Noctis suddenly said, which snapped Ignis out of his daze. He started leaning into Ignis.

Ignis was slowly calming down while staring at Noctis who was leaning in for a kiss. ‘I just met this guy and already fucked him. And he’s about to kiss me… A stranger… I brought a stranger…’ Ignis hit a level of clarity, and was so shocked by his own actions, he instinctively pushed Noctis away.

“Whaa—” Noctis slipped on the slippery tub floor and started falling back.

“Shit!” Ignis cursed, realizing what he did, He quickly grabbed Noctis and pulled him back up, managing to keep them both stable. Aside from the sound of the shower still going, the bathroom was quiet for what felt like an eternity.

“Sorry.” Ignis said sheepishly.

Noctis glared at him “What the FUCK WAS THAT!?” He yelled. He quickly stepped out of the bathtub and away from Ignis, not wanting to risk being pushed again.

“I’m so sorry Noct. I don’t know what came over me. I just…” Ignis trailed off. He knew why. He was just embarrassed to admit he freaked himself out and reacted without thinking.

“You just what!?” Noctis spat out that last word.

Ignis took a breath. “I just…. I don’t do this.”

“Do what?”

“This.” Ignis gestured between the two of them. “Us. You and me. I’m just a businessman who spends all waking hours working. I…. I don’t just pick up random guys to hook up with.”

“But I do?”

Ignis blinked. “What?”

“Yeah, I get it. I’m just some jobless slut fucking every guy I see.”

“No. I never—”

“Fuck this. I’m leaving.” Noctis stormed out, still dripping wet from the shower, and slammed the door behind him.

“Noct. NOCT!” Ignis called out after him. He quickly got out of the tub and went to chase after Noctis, but stopped as he was reaching for the doorknob. He realized that if he ran out there now, he would be too emotional to explain himself clearly, and risk unintentionally hurting Noctis further. He closed his eyes and took a few breaths to calm himself. He turned off the shower. Then he grabbed a towel to dry himself off. He wrapped the towel around his waist and reached for the doorknob. He closed his eyes again to focus his thoughts and opened the door.

Ignis walked out. Despite saying he was going to leave, Noctis was standing in the middle of the living room. He was turned away, so Ignis could not see his face, but he could see Noctis was still dripping wet and hear faint sobbing. A small part of him was annoyed that Noctis was dripping all over his living room, but he quickly banished the thought and focused back on Noctis.

“Noct.” He said softly.

“Wh-what?” Noctis was still facing away.

“Please let me just explain.” Ignis moved closer, stopping just behind his couch.

“Alright….” Noctis sniffed then wiped his face. He turned around and glared at Ignis, as well as he could have while fighting back tears, and folded his arms over his chest. “Explain away.”

Ignis nodded. He closed his eyes, took another breath and reopened his eyes. “First, I wanted to apologize. I never intended to imply that you were…” He trailed off, trying to find the right word.

“A slut?” Noctis interjected.

“Were easy…” Ignis finished. “I just….” Ignis sighed and looked down.

“I spent over half my life dedicating myself to my job. At one point in my life, I did have fun. I had non-work friends. I even hooked up on occasion. But as I started my career… As I found success… As I continued to climb the corporate ladder…”

Ignis finally looked up and shrugged. “Something had to give. So, I decided to sacrifice my personal life to further my professional career.”

“Well, that was dumb of you.” Noctis stated. There was a hint of amusement in his tone, and Ignis could see a slight smirk on his face.

“You’re telling me.” Ignis gave a soft chuckle.

‘At least his mood seems to have improved,’ he thought to himself before continuing.

“When I was talking about how I don’t hook up with guys, I didn’t mean it to disparage you. I was more surprised in myself…. I do admit pushing you was out of line. I was just so shocked, my body moved on its own. I hope you forgive me.”

It was silent for maybe a few seconds, but to Ignis it felt like an eternity. Finally, Noctis just sighed and dropped his arms. “Yeah… I forgive you…” Noctis pursed his lips for a moment before taking a breath and speaking again. “I’m sorry too. I kinda…. flipped out on you back there too.”

“Only kinda?” Ignis replied with a smirk.

“Watch it.” Noctis said playfully. “But yeah… I guess I really flipped out on you without hearing your side. Guys tend to think I’m nothing more than a dumb, lazy rich kid, who just fucks every guy I see. And I thought you were one of them too. But you’re not. I’m sorry.”

“Oh Noct. Come here.” Ignis gestured. Noctis walked over, and Ignis gently wrapped his arms around him, but stopped when he realized Noctis was still dripping wet. “Ah…”

“Oh shit… Sorry. I should’ve dried off at least.” Noctis said sheepishly.

“Not to worry.” Ignis said. He unwrapped the towel from his waist and started to dry Noctis off. Starting from his head and slowly but surely working down, rubbing every inch of Noctis’ body.

‘Oh shit…’ Noctis had never had someone touch him so gently and methodically all over like Ignis was as he dried him. He started to get aroused again and tried to keep himself from getting hard. But it was already too late. As Ignis was getting up from drying Noctis’ legs, he slowly dragged his tongue up the shaft of Noctis’ dick. Noctis let out a gasp. Before he could react further, Ignis’ lips were on his and his tongue was in his mouth. Noctis just moaned into the kiss.

Ignis broke away and smiled, gently cupping Noctis’ cheek. “Better?”

Noctis returned the smile and nodded. “Yeah.”

Ignis took Noctis’ hand and led him to the sofa. Ignis sat with his back against the arm of the sofa with his legs spread open. He gestured to Noctis to sit between them. Noctis sat down and leaned back against Ignis. Ignis wrapped his arms around Noctis and nuzzled against the back of his head.

They sat like that in silence for a few moments before Noctis spoke up. “So… how old are you?”

Ignis scoffed. “Haven’t you heard the saying ‘Never ask a man his salary or his age’?”

“Pretty sure it’s ‘Never ask a woman her age.’”

Ignis playfully smacked Noctis’ arm. “Cheeky brat… I am 45.”

“Oh, damn!”

“Excuse you?”

“No, no! I mean… You’re almost my dad’s age…”

“That…” Ignis sighs. “That doesn’t make it better…”

“…. Oh right. Sorry…” Noctis lifts one of Ignis’ hands and gently kisses the back of it. “You’re a business guy, right? Maybe you know him.”

“Businessman, yes…. It’s possible. I do work with clients all over the state. What’s his name?”

“Regis Lucis Caelum.”

“RE--!” Ignis began. He immediately cut himself off with loud laughter.

“What’s so funny?”

Ignis continued laughing. Instead of answering, he reached behind the sofa and picked up his briefcase. He fished around in it for a moment and produced a business card. “Here.” He handed it over and started rubbing the tears from his eyes as his laughter subsided.

Noctis furrowed his brow and took the business card. “Ignis Scientia. Senior Business Development Manager. Email ignis.scientia@ca...” Noctis stopped reading and turned to face Ignis. “You work for my dad!?”

“Small world I guess.” Ignis shrugged with a smile.

“You’re telling me.” Noctis turned back around and leaned back up against Ignis. He kept reading Ignis business card.

“That’s all?”

“Well yeah, I guess. You didn’t know anything about me before today, and if you did, you probably would have said something before, right?” Noctis mused.

“That is true.” Ignis nodded.

“See.” Noctis went quiet, reading over Ignis' business card again. Suddenly, he practically jumped up and kneeled on the sofa facing Ignis. “Okay so! You said you missed out on having fun in your 20s, right?”

“Yeah…”

“Well, tell me what kind of things you wanted to do, and we can do them together. And don’t worry, you can scratch ‘fucking a sexy twink half your age’ from the list.” Noctis smirked.

“Ha. Well, that would be inappropriate if we’re thinking in the context of me being in my 20s.” Ignis joked.

“Oh. True. I didn’t think that one through. But still.” Noctis placed his hands on Ignis’ thighs. “Tell me.”

“Oh geez.” Ignis threw his head back and exhaled through his lips. “I guess I’ve never really been to a club.”

“Okay easy. What else?”

“Ummm…. I haven’t gone drinking outside of business parties. So, I guess that too?”

“That’s practically the same thing, but okay. Anything else?”

“You’re rather pushy, you know that.” Ignis said. Noctis just chuckled in response. “I guess…. Have an orgy.”

“…Oh…” Noctis shifted back and was no longer leaning on Ignis.

Ignis moved to look at Noctis. “Don’t worry. I was just joking.” He gave Noctis’ shoulder a light squeeze.

“Oh okay. Good. Though I was gonna say I have some friends that might be interested. So, if you ever change your mind…”

Noctis locked eyes with Ignis. His face was hard to read so Ignis was unsure whether Noctis was legitimately offering or if he was trying to test him. Ignis just smiled and gently rubbed Noctis’ chin. “Oh, Noct. Wouldn’t you rather all my attention goes to you alone?” Ignis saw a blush creeping up Noctis’ face. Noctis looked down and leaned over, practically headbutting Ignis in the shoulder to bury his face in Ignis’ neck.

“Yeah,” he said softly.

Ignis chuckled and wrapped his arms around Noctis. He planted a kiss on the side of his head. Noctis returned the hug. Ignis was smiling and staring off into space until he realized something. ‘It’s dark out…What time is it?’ Ignis reached for his briefcase and fished for his phone. ‘There you are.’ He grabbed his phone and checked the time.

“Oh. Shit.”

“Hmm?” Noctis didn’t move.

“It’s past 9 already…”

“Oh… Fuck.” Noctis jumped up. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to take up so much of your day like this. I’m sure you have work tomorrow. I’m so sorry.” Noctis kept apologizing as he moved towards the dryer where their clothes were. “I’ll get dressed and get out of your hair.”

‘Well tomorrow is my day off. I did plan to go in anyways to finish some work. But…’

“Wait, Noct.” Ignis suddenly grabbed Noctis. He stood up so he could face Noctis. “I just thought of something else to add to the list.”

“Oh?”

Ignis walked around the couch and stopped behind Noctis, wrapping his arms around him. He leaned in and whispered. “Spending the night with a sexy twink half my age.” He nuzzled Noctis’ neck as he walked them towards his bedroom.

“Didn’t you say that line was inappropriate?” Noctis giggled.

“Did I? I don’t recall.” Ignis chuckled against Noctis' neck. He reached out and opened the door to his bedroom and led Noctis to the bed.

Noctis was quick to jump into the bed and get under the covers. Ignis slid in next to him. “Good night Iggy.”

“Good night, Noct.” Ignis leaned in to kiss Noctis good night, and they both closed their eyes.

After a few minutes Ignis opened his eyes and looked over Noctis. It was dark, but the light from the moon and lamps outside let him see Noctis was fast asleep. ‘Seems like he’s quick to fall asleep…’

“Noct. Are you awake?” Ignis whispered. There was no response. He slowly reached over and gently caressed the side of Noctis’ face. Noctis showed no signs of noticing.

“I’m glad I met you.” Ignis continued to whisper. “I don’t know what this is. Whether a one-time thing, an occasional, casual fling, or the potential for a long-term relationship. But I don’t care. Whatever it is, I’ll be glad to see it through with you.”

Ignis was a man who had weeks, sometimes even months, planned out in advance. He never followed through on anything serious without a plan and at least a couple backups. But now he was willing to throw caution to the wind and explore these newfound feelings Noctis stirred within him, whether they were lasting or fleeting. It was worth it to him. He moved closer to Noctis and wrapped his arms around him and finally fell asleep.

Chapter Text

Ignis groaned and slowly opened his eyes. The sun was shining brightly outside. It was brighter than when he usually wakes up. He tried to turn to look at his deskside clock, but he suddenly felt a weight on him. He looked down and just saw the top of Noctis’ head buried in his chest. Ignis chuckled and kissed the top of his head then turned to the clock.

‘9:30. I haven’t woken up this late in so long…’

He looked back down to Noctis. He was still asleep with no indication of waking up soon. Ignis carefully slid his arm out from under Noctis.

“Mm.” Noctis groaned a bit but didn’t move.

Ignis got out of bed and decided to grab a pair of boxer briefs from his dresser, put them on and quietly left the room. He stretched a bit before looking around. He saw his laundry room in the corner of his eye. “I guess I might as well actually wash our clothes this time.” He took the clothes out of the dryer and put them in the washer with some detergent to wash them.

Just then, he felt two arms wrap around his waist. “Morning…” Noctis said, yawning.

“Good morning, Noct. Did I wake you?”

“A lil… But It’s okay.” Noctis kissed his shoulder. “You’re washing our clothes again?”

“Not again. For the first time. I just dried them yesterday. But I figured it’s best to wash them so you can go home with clean clothes.” Ignis turned a dial and turned his washer on.

“Or I could just stay here.” Noctis squeezed tighter.

“Heh. Nice try. You showed me your phone. They are expecting you for an event this afternoon. I’d rather not draw your father’s ire before he finds out we are together.”

“Hmph.” Noctis let out a disapproving noise and let go of Ignis’ waist. Ignis was about to turn and apologize when he felt hands on his ass, almost causing him to jump. “Why are you wearing these?”

“My underwear?” Ignis was a bit confused by the question. He turned his head and Noctis’ eyes were fixed on his behind. “As fun as being naked with you was, some things are better clothed. Take cooking breakfast for example.”

“Yeah I get that… But why are you wearing these?” Noctis repeated, punctuating his question by grabbing the waistband of his boxer briefs.

“What’s wrong with them? They’re normal underwear!”

“They’re old man underwear!” Noctis shot back

Ignis couldn’t help but chuckle. “In case you forgot, dear Noctis, I am an old man.”

“No, you’re not. My dad is an old man. His friends from the board are old men. You are sexy and should dress sexy!” Noctis said, matter-of-factly.

“Oh please.” Ignis scoffed and rolled his eyes. But gave it another thought. “Do you really think I can pull it off?” He asked. He felt Noctis tug on the waistband of his boxer briefs again. He could tell that, this time, Noctis was staring at his butt. He could feel the heat rising in his face as he became aware of Noctis ogling him for so long.

“Oh yeah. Definitely.” Noctis let go of Ignis’ waistband. “You definitely need some sexy little briefs that accentuate that cute ass.”

Ignis blushed. “Th-thank you, Noct…”

“Maybe I can take you underwear shopping and get you something nice and sexy.” Noctis said, patting Ignis’ butt.

“Is dressing me sexy going on ‘The List’?” Ignis asked playfully.

“Of course.”

“And is continuing to grope my backside on ‘The List’ as well?” Ignis asked sarcastically.

“Oh no. That’s just a freebie from me.” Noctis gave a nice squeeze.

“Cheeky brat…” Ignis let Noctis grope him a few seconds longer before he grabbed one of Noctis’ wrists. He turned quickly and pulled Noctis in close causing him to yelp in shock. Ignis leaned in and started making out with Noctis. He pulled away after a few moments and looked into Noctis’ eyes. “Good morning, Noctis.”

Noctis felt dazed. He shook his head a couple times and locked eyes with Ignis. “Good morning, Ignis.”

“Would you care for some breakfast?” Ignis led Noctis towards the kitchen.

“Oh yes please!” Noctis moved to take a seat at the dining table.

“Hmmm…” Ignis hummed as he looked through the cabinets. “How about pancakes?”

“Sounds good.”

“Pancakes it is.” Ignis began prepping for breakfast. Noctis seemed entranced by Ignis cooking and just watched in silence. Ignis kept glancing over to see Noctis watching him so intently. After a few minutes, Ignis finished two plates of pancakes. He grabbed the syrup from the cabinet and walked over to the table. He put down one plate in front of Noctis and another in the space across from him. “What would you like to drink? I have orange juice, water, and coffee.”

“Water please.” Ignis nodded and went to the fridge. He grabbed himself a can of Ebony coffee and a bottle of water. Behind him, he heard Noctis start to eat.

“Mmmm… shoo good…” He said with his mouth full.

“Well thank you.” Ignis sat down with his Ebony and handed Noctis the water bottle.

Noctis took it and quickly opened it and took a big gulp.

“Ah! Wow Iggy, where did you learn to cook?” He asked.

“I taught myself.” Ignis said as he started to dig in.

Noctis stared at him for a moment and then spoke. “Smart. Successful. Rich. Humble. Good cook. Sexy as hell. Great kisser. Cute butt. Nice dick. And a great fuck. Is there anything you can’t do?”

Ignis blushed and looked down. “Th-thank you Noctis.”

“Aww are you embarrassed?” Noctis teased. “You’re so cute too.” He began rubbing his foot against Ignis’ leg.

“I-I guess. Like I said I’m not really used to thi—” Ignis yelped and jumped up as he felt Noctis' foot against his crotch.

“Oh, sorry. Was that too much?” Noctis put his foot down.

“Yes…I mean no….I mean….” Ignis sighed and sat back down. “It is a bit much, but I don’t dislike it. Maybe warn me in the future.”

“Oh right. I’m sorry.” Noctis looked down.

Ignis stretched out his leg and used his foot to push Noctis’ leg back up. He moved forward a bit and started to rub his crotch back against Noctis' foot. Noctis looked up surprised and Ignis just gave him a sly smile. They both chuckled and continued their breakfast.

“Do you have everything?” Ignis asked as he walked Noctis to the door.

Noctis began patting himself all over. “Phone. Keys. Wallet. My clothes. Oh, and my fishing rod. Thanks again for remembering that.” Noctis held up his fishing rod. “I totally would have forgotten it.”

“Well I guess it's a good thing you had me around.” Ignis replied.

“For more than one thing.” Noctis smirked and leaned in to give Ignis a peck on the lips.

Ignis smiled and opened the door. Noctis walked outside and stopped in front of the door. He turned around and faced Ignis with a sense of sadness in his face.

“Iggy…”

“Noct…”

Ignis reached out and grabbed the sides of Noctis’ face and pulled him closer. Noctis set his fishing rod down against the wall and wrapped his arms around Ignis’ waist. They’re lips crashed together as they kissed. Tongues lashing against each other. They gasped and moaned against each other for what felt like an eternity.

Finally Noctis broke away. He sighed and picked up his fishing rod. “I guess it’s time to go. My phone has been vibrating for like 5 minutes already.”

“Is that what that was? I thought you were just happy to see me.” Ignis teased.

“Oh, haha.” Noctis rolled his eyes and bumped Ignis with his hip. “You’re such a dork.”

“Correction. A ‘sexy as hell’ dork with a ‘nice dick’.”

“Yeah yeah.” Noctis smiled and made his way to the elevator. As it opened, he turned back to Ignis. “Make sure to call me anytime you want to do this again. Or cross off things on your list.”

“I will!” Ignis assured him.

“I had a lot of fun. And whatever this is, I want to see it through with you too!” Noctis called back as the elevator closed.

“I do t—” Ignis just realized what Noctis said. “Wait…” He ran to the elevator as the door closed. “Noct? NOCT!?” It was too late and the elevator was on its way down. “Ha.” Ignis gave a dry laugh. “If you were awake, you should’ve said something..”

Ignis whipped out his phone and sent a text message to Noctis.

--Cheeky brat

His phone quickly dinged with a response from Noctis

--:P

He rolled his eyes and smiled as he went back to his apartment.

“I’m going to enjoy being with you.”
