[The silence that comes after that statement is unexpected. Regis waits several moments for some kind of smart, if breathless, comment to soften the deeper meaning that lies behind those words, but when it doesn't come, he pauses, looking up to take in Nyx's expression. The need is still there, but something else darkens those pale eyes. A realization, perhaps. Good, but something the Glaive hadn't been expecting. It causes Regis to pause in his actions, leaning up to press a much gentler kiss to Nyx's lips, fondness breaking through the heat in his own gaze.]

Forever.

[The word is exhaled more than spoken against Nyx's lips and then Regis returns to his previous actions, the kiss that follows once more intense. He doesn't want to let Nyx fall too far into his own mind right now. Not when the Glaive has done so much to keep him out of his own.

When he sets his fingers back to work, the touch is firmer and this time he lets his fingers linger when they reach the tip of Nyx's cock, thumb spreading the dampness there. At the same time, his other hand slides up over the Glaive's hip, fingers splaying across his back and digging in there, one more anchor to keep the younger man from tumbling from his lap.]


Tell me what you want.

[It takes some time to get the request gasped out between kisses and the need to catch his breath, not that Regis is in a hurry. He's finally let himself go to the heat and haze, soaking in each feeling, sound, and sight like one who may never experience any of it again. There is a push forward, but it is for more, not a rush to conclusion.]


What do you need?

[Promises are pretty, fragile little things far more at home in story and song where they won't be twisted and warped to serve whatever purpose their holders hide in their hearts. It's intent and action that get things done in reality and as such those things have always been the forces that directed Regis' life. Even years ago when he allowed himself to give into the fancy there might be a way to change Noctis' fate as the Chosen if he just looked hard enough, he never stepped completely away from those things, and it was they that eventually drew him back and allowed him to accept that some things cannot be changed no matter how much hope and goodwill drove his intent.

This intent is different from that one, though, for it's not based on a fanciful wish, but in reality. Regis knows he may only have a few more years before the Crystal's drain takes him from this world--perhaps even less if the Empire's incursions continue to become more aggressive--but he also knows that unlike others, his presence on this plane of existence won't end with his death. His soul will be bound to the Ring, and Astrals willing, Nyx will continue to defy death long enough to serve at his son's side as well. It won't be the same as being there physically with him, but he will still be able to watch over him.

Less logically, Regis has always been the kind to carry parts of those he's met within his heart. Nyx earned a place there when he was a much younger man, hurt, angry, and above all, determined--a fighter just like those that make up the Lucis Caelum line have always been. Much like Regis always has been.

And so Regis states his intent without hesitation or doubt for whatever form of 'forever' that may be granted to them.

After that statement of intent, though, words become unnecessary, the shift in the air around them and the flicker of emotions across Nyx's face telling more than they ever could. The storm has lessened, but not blown itself out. This is the eye. The place of safety, of calm and rest before the dangers beyond return. It's only here that Regis truly and fully lets everything wash over him, finally taking the time to feel and acknowledge his own reactions--the sparks of need that each press of lips against his neck create, how uncomfortably tight his own pants have become--instead of focusing on those of the man in his lap. He falls more with each kiss, almost forgetting he even asked the question until Nyx talks a hold of his wrist to move his hand lower in a wordless answer.]

Are you certain?

[The question is soft, asked not because Regis doubts that Nyx knows exactly what he wants, but because his position demands absolute certainty. This he cannot let go no matter how close they've been tonight.

He turns his head, pressing his lips into Nyx's hair.]


Forgive me, Wild One. I need you to say it.

[In those moments while Regis is waiting for his answer, he realizes that he may have been very wrong about some of the things he's considered unchangeable truths. At this rate, it's not going to be the Crystal or even the Empire that's the death of him, but Nyx Fucking Ulric instead. That shift from heat and bite to gentle warmth sets his body aflame at every point where their skin comes into contact. His blood and the magic within sing, telling him he should just forget he asked the question, that he needs to take this one last precaution, and Regis has to scramble to gather what few shards of his control remain in order to deny the request.

Those shards of control are scattered once more when Nyx finally gives his answer, the sharp short words driving a groan from his lips. Regis barely has the presence of mind to release the hold he has on the Glaive's cock before the shudder hits him. When he settles his hand again, this time against Nyx's hip, it's still shaking. His eyes are hazy when he turns them toward Nyx, his voice is soft, though, steady when he speaks.

It's not much, but Regis is going to take a little bit of pride in that.]


As you wish. If it is any comfort, sir has now retired for the evening.

[His fingers press harder into Nyx's hip as much to steady the remaining tremors in them as to feel skin and muscle under them.]

Third drawer down in the dresser. There's a box that will have all we need. Just ignore the fact the tag on the top says it's from my son.

[Regis does really regret having to ask the question, but caution is how he's managed to make it through so much of his reign without scandal. At least with that out of the way, he doesn't have to worry about the responsibilities of his position anymore.

And, honestly, having Nyx settled against him is just as good a feeling as what they were doing before, just at a different level of intensity.

When Nyx finally decides to get the box, Regis' eyes follow him, the parting kisses causing his breathing to speed again. He'd be disappointed once completely alone in the chair again if he didn't have such a good show to watch as a distraction. How can one be disappointed when give the chance to watch more of that tanned skin appear? Regis shifts in the chair so he can settle his chin in one hand, eyes twinkling as he does. He'd not realized until now just how many small tattoos Nyx had and he knows each one has a story. It's going to be great fun finding them all out.

It's only once Nyx has finished stripping and pulled the box from the dresser that Regis finally starts to share the story. The box itself is a decently-sized gift box, bright, glittery, and as mentioned, baring a tag on the top that says in larger letters 'With love, Noctis.'

Regis can't help but chuckle as he looks at the box. So much trouble over such a silly thing.]


A few years back some brilliant member of the Crownsguard decided it would be a nice gesture for one of the graduating class to give the king a gift on behalf of the whole class. The gifts were practical once and then someone decided to make the tradition more interesting.

[Regis pauses a moment, amusement shinning in his eyes.]

One of the first gag gifts appeared with Gladiolus Amicitia's name one it. A few years later one followed with Ignis Scientia's name on it. Apparently, my son's Shield and Advisor decided that he shouldn't be left out of the tradition and approached him with the idea of giving me this year's gift. Of course, he resisted claiming it was silly for him to do such a thing considering I'm his dad and if he wanted to give me a gift he could at any time. I never was able to get them to tell me what they bribed Noctis with to finally get him to sign the tag, but he did so without ever knowing what they were going to put in it. He trusted them and well...

[Regis motions toward the box inviting Nyx to open it. Inside he will find lube, condoms and several other choice items meant to help 'spice up' the king's non-resistant sex life.]


Needless to say, afterward I had a talk with said young men and let them know that while I don't mind a good prank, should Noctis ever find out what was sent to me under his name, it would be the last prank either of them played. I really have no wish for my son to die of embarrassment so young.

[As he watches Nyx rifle through the box, Regis can't help but think that the Glaive looks like a kid in a candy store. Okay, so maybe that isn't the right metaphor; the expression on Nyx's face is nowhere near pure enough.

A horny man in his favorite adult supply store? Yes, that fits much better.]


If I recall correctly, those were young Gladiolus' addition. Perhaps you should thank him the next time you see him.

[Honestly, Regis will never understand what his son's Shield had been thinking when he gave away that little bit of information during their talk. If Clarus hadn't been so disgruntled with the whole tradition, Regis would've had to ask him what exactly he was teaching his son about the importance of keeping certain things secret.

Regis straightens in the chair when Nyx finally abandons the box and makes his way back. The second item the Glaive pulls out causes him to have to fight the urge to roll his eyes just as much now as he did when he first saw it.]


That particular item was chosen by a young man who would have an aneurysm if he were made to think about the Crystal's magic being used in such a way.

[He loves you like a son, Ignis, but sometimes you are just too much. Pedestals so high are dangerous, and not the good kind of dangerous.

And speaking of the good kind of dangerous...

Regis' eyes fix on the fingers that make their way down his chest, green gaze holding just as much heat as radiates against his skin. By the time those teasing fingers make their way to the waistband of his pants, the banked passion from before has completely unfurled back to a roaring blaze. It makes that change in temperature all the more electric when it comes, and Regis' mind blanks out for a moment as he arches into Nyx's mouth, one hand finding its way into the Glaive's hair without any conscious choice being made to do it.

As if determined not to let Regis catch his breath, Nyx moves his attention to his pants next, which is both a blessing and a curse. Once more they are quickly becoming uncomfortable and the Glaive's hands are not helping with that one bit; all things considered, that's probably the point.

His fingers tighten slightly against Nyx's scalp, just enough to get his attention in case the breathless and hoarse whisper that follows isn't enough.]


As much as I like your hands right where they are, you may want to finish with the brace before you get too caught up there.

[It hasn't even been one night yet and Regis has already begun cataloging that smirk and flash of teeth as both something to be wary of and something to be thrilled by. Of course, considering where Nyx's hands currently are, it's the touch of fingers he's expecting, not the warm dampness of a mouth.

Regis' mind stutters to a halt once more, the moan pulled from his throat cutting off halfway as if his breath has been stolen away. Fingers of one hand tighten in Nyx's hair unconsciously, while those of the other seek out the Glaive's shoulder for some kind of stability. It's been so long and those teasing flicks of Nyx's tongue are enough to nearly drive him mad. He tries just once to gather the breath needed to speak and then quickly lets go of the idea completely, giving into the sensations running through him as he lets his head drop back against the chair with another moan.

It's almost a shame Regis is so caught up in the feelings running through him because it means he totally misses what task is busying Nyx's hands. Such skilled multitasking really should be applauded. One more thing for later it seems.]

[It's the disruption of rhythm and the pained sound that draws Regis back out of his haze, not so much any kind of discomfort. His tolerance for pain and discomfort are unfortunately high after so many years with them as his constant companions.

One pale green eye opens--and honestly, Regis isn't sure when he closed his eyes, but it obviously happened--and he has just a moment to turn a questioning look in Nyx's direction before the Glaive settles again, gentle and attentive. With a soft moan, Regis lets his eye fall closed again, the hand he has in Nyx's hair releasing its hold slightly, so his fingers can stroke gently instead of pull.

When Nyx finally pulls away, Regis finds himself torn embarrassingly between chuckling at the exaggerated way it's done and whining lowly at the lost sensation. The sound he produces is not really one or the other, which means he will not admit to the latter part no matter what.

Of course, considering Nyx's current track record, he will probably find a way to break through that 'no matter what,' but that's a worry for later.

Regis opens his eyes again when he feels the gentle tug on his leg and he can't help but smile when he fuzzy brain actually puts together what the Glaive was up to.]


Two birds with one stone, hmm?

[What a clever one you are, Nyx Ulric.]

[Certainly there are many situations where Nyx's eagerness has gotten him into trouble, but this isn't one of them. Regis had been ready to help with removing the rest of his clothing once the brace was gone, but that would have given him time to start thinking again and the direction that train of thought would have taken would have been nothing short of disastrous for the current mood. It would have let him remember just how much he hates the shape his body's in; how much he's lost to the Crystal's drain over just the last few years; how there is no way he can compare to eager young man with him.

Astrals, even if he didn't have the mobility issues, when would he have time to train? How many times recently has he had to all but order people to allow Clarus time to train for his primary role?

It's impossible to think about these things with Nyx's hands on him, though. Regis' mind focuses on the way battle-worn fingers slide over his skin and the trails of heat left in their wake. When Nyx expresses his appreciation, Regis even finds himself chuckling, or at least, starting to. The end of the sound is lost in the crash of lips that follow it, in the heat and electricity that burns anew between them once they are back in contact. It doesn't take long for one of his hands to make its way into the Glaive's hair again, sliding up his neck to settle at the back of his head. The other hand takes longer to settle, though, since Regis has no intention of breaking their kiss or those that follow in order to look at the exact positioning of their bodies. Instead, he relies on wandering touches to get Nyx to shift until they are close enough he can wrap his hand around both their cocks and give them a slow stroke.

[There's something awe-inspiring about the sheer amount of passion there is in Nyx's reaction. Regis isn't sure what specifically makes him think that. Perhaps, it's the bend of the Glaive's neck as he throws his head back. Maybe it's the way his braids slide along his skin, one defying the others to settle into the space between his neck and shoulder. For just a moment, Regis finds himself fighting the urge to lean forward and take that errant braid into his mouth to see the kind of reaction pulling it might cause.

Of course, stopping to think about it is his mistake for Nyx has already begun to recover, redirecting the very literal sparks flying between them into something more purposeful. It's not just the use of magic that draws the low moan from Regis' lips, though; it's that focus, that control, coming so closely on the heels of that moment of unrestrained wildness. There's a beauty to it...and hasn't he used that word a lot tonight to describe this man? There are others, but something about using those words seems wrong to Regis. One implies being tamed, another conformation, and another timidity.

Nyx Ulric is none of those things.]


You're so beautiful. If I knew which deity was responsible for your making, I would shower them in praise.

[Despite the breathless, pretty words, Regis hasn't allowed the hand working between them to still, fingers quickening at times, slowing at others, never quite settling into a steady pattern.]


Will do you that again for me, wild one?
kingkingcxiii: Flame (Flame)

[personal profile] kingkingcxiii 2018-12-08 11:02 am (UTC)(link)
Astrals!

[If Regis could still think after that exclamation, Nyx certainly would have been in for a scolding since he's certain the Glaive knew very well what he meant by his request and that sure was not it, however, luck often favors the bold and that is certainly what Nyx is. Regis' mind whites out again for a moment as his head drops back against the chair, a low cry escaping his lips. By the time his brain is working again, Nyx has already set himself to work retrieving the bottle, putting his body, his strength, and flexibility wonderfully on display for Regis to drink in, and drink he does until a better idea crosses his mind.

Well, luck and the bold, right?

He moves his hands so that one rests on each of Nyx's thighs to make sure that the Glaive doesn't unbalance himself when he reacts and then leans forward to press his lips to the expanse of skin before him. It doesn't take long for him to make his way to Nyx's belly button, and once he does his tongue flicks against it, teeth catching the edge before he moves on to press lips and tongue along those hardworking muscles. It's with no small amount of reluctance and a sharp nip to the skin under his mouth that he pulls back once Nyx rights himself.

Regis finds himself hesitating once he's accepted the bottle, uncertainty flickering through his pale gaze, though the source is likely not what Nyx will assume it to be if he catches the shift in his king's expression. This is not another instance of Regis doubting that this is what Nyx wants; instead it is the concern of man who has reached the limits of his experience.

Despite his guards' assumptions, Regis hasn't been totally celibate since his wife died. He's only human, after all, but he went to great lengths to keep his explorations private, especially when they led him in directions he wasn't expecting them to. Still, learning cannot replace experience and this he has no experience with.

To distract himself from his worries, Regis twists the cap off the bottle, setting to work covering both his hands, settling the first back around them, strokes smoother for the added lubrication. Once he's tucked aside the bottle, he sets the second hand to work as requested, slick fingers teasing Nyx's entrance. When he meets the Glaive's gaze, there is trust in his eyes. He might not have experience with this, but Nyx does and he has every faith that the man will guide him.]

Have no doubt, I'll be holding you to that.

[A breathless chuckle follows that statement as Regis chases Nyx for one more kiss before letting the man go, arching up to meet the Glaive's eager bucking. It's hard to hold onto his previous worries while watching how quickly Nyx falls apart under his hands; it's even harder when the Glaive slides one of his own hands backward to encourage and guide him and that whine? Sweet. Needy. It's enough to drive the breath right out of Regis. When he finds his voice again, it comes out as a low rumble.]

Your cheeks said something different earlier, my wild one.

[When Regis arches into Nyx again, he leans forward enough that he can press his lips against the Glaive's collarbone, aggressively working a mark into the warm skin below. At the same time, he sets his fingers to work slowly stretching and stroking Nyx open. It's probably slower than the Glaive would like. The pace might even be called tentative were it not for the fact that the pale green eyes that gaze over Nyx's shoulder are full of aroused mischief.

Can anyone really blame him for wanting to see just how many whines he can pull out of Nyx before they go farther?]

[The gaze that meets Nyx's demands is intense, focused, but oddly not challenging as so many of the gazes they've exchanged tonight have been. Regis is used to having demands made of him, though certainly not in this pleasurable a manner. Manner aside, there are still two outcomes; he can outright deny the demand or he can accede to it in the fashion he chooses. In the political field, the important thing is that both outcomes give him control.

Here? Here he has no wish to force Nyx to bow to his control. The very opposite is true, in fact, and the answer he finally gives to that demand follows on heels of a confident smile.]


As you wish, Wild One.

[The words are barely out of his mouth when Regis pulls Nyx into a kiss, all tongue, teeth and distraction while he shifts his arm to allow himself to press his fingers in deeper and at a better angle. Despite his outward calm, that whine absolutely shattered out what little patience he has left, and it's only a matter of time before the last bit of his control follows with it.]
kingkingcxiii: Flame (Flame)

[personal profile] kingkingcxiii 2018-12-18 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Earlier in the night there is no doubt a joke about the recovery period of young men would have followed that statement, but it's not a joke that comes to Regis' lips now. Instead, it's a desperately relieved sigh caused by the rest of his control finally slipping away. So many of his early memories are of his father drilling into his head how important always keeping control was. Even when he hit his teens and began rebelling in his own way, the control was never far away, a shadow constantly lingering over him waiting to assert itself again.

Perhaps that is why the fire leaps so high in that moment, shattering away any of the shadow that dares remain. There will be soot to clean from the mantle and grate tomorrow, but nothing flammable the flames lick at actually catches. The same holds true for the thin decorative candles that are scattered throughout the room. They burst into flame so hot most snap at the middle, wax and ash all that is left by the time they hit the carpet.

Regis doesn't acknowledge the flame around them, groaning lowly into Nyx's mouth even as he brings the hand he's using to stroke them upward with more pressure than before, ending with a sharp twist and then pulling away. If what's left of his shirt wasn't ruined before, the fact he drags his fingers over it to dry them before he takes a firm grip on Nyx's hip, seals its fate. Regis' other hand meets the Glaive's backward motion once more before he pulls away, repeating the actions he just finished with his previous hand so his grip doesn't slip when he adjusts their position.

The whole time, Regis' lips don't move far from Nyx's, the words whispered against them no order, but a soft needy plea.]


Do not deny me.
