A Court of Prying Eyes | MJBunnyLuv

Summary:

Arranged marriages are stressful enough but following the customs of your new husband's country is even worse. Izuku worries every day about their wedding night, but when it arrives, he learns something about himself. He enjoys those eyes on him as Katsuki pounds him into the mattress.

Notes:

Written for Bundie's 25 Days of Kinkmas challenge, Day 19: Voyeurism | First Time. Based on the historical practice of having witnesses observe the consummation of a royal marriage. Though this was most common in the Medieval era, it was still pretty prominent in France in the 18th/19th centuries. And I really love the idea of Izuku being dressed in fancy Rococo dresses.

Izuku knew the customs of his husband's kingdom were different from his own...very different. For one, omegas were highly coveted beings, meant to stand in court and look pretty. During their engagement, he'd had the distinct feeling that he was someone's plaything, a pretty doll that others could dress up and ogle. In his homeland, had he married into a neighboring court, he would have had a hand in passing legislation, or at least speaking face to face with the rest of the court. But here? Izuku spoke up once about the state of the orphanage and was nearly silenced with a backhand. He had closed his teary emerald eyes, waiting for the inevitable sting of the strike to his face, but his beloved had intervened. Katsuki, a prime alpha and king in this country, had nearly ripped the throat out of his financial officer. For days, Izuku fell asleep dreaming of those flaming rubies, that spicy smoky scent. It sent a thrill through him. Where everyone else saw him as a doll, his beloved saw him as a person.

Most arranged marriages didn't work out so well. Many were loveless - a partnership of convenience only meant to strengthen alliances. The alphas often took other mates - concubines, consorts, visits to the brothel that led to illegitimate children. Izuku had been told by his new lady in waiting to expect Katsuki to find other means of physical touch. That notion had sent the omega hissing and ordering her dismissal. His husband was different. Izuku knew it in the way he always felt the alpha's eyes on him, that burning gaze that set his veins on fire and his heart soaring. He'd found himself rushing to a secluded room, hands tearing at his many skirts to shove a hand between his thighs and relieve the heat that was building there. His folds were always so wet when he thought of his blonde haired, carmine eyed husband. And today was no different, except it was.

Their wedding day. His heavy white dress embellished with golden threads and emerald bows was stunning, absolutely the most extravagant thing he'd ever worn, but it was so big and hard to move in. He was convinced the people of this country put their omegas in these clothes so they couldn't run away from the altar. This entire affair was pomp and circumstance with threats and insults thinly veiled behind congratulatory words. Izuku both dreaded and greatly anticipated the consummation of their marriage, the claiming bite Katsuki would place along his skin. Excited because well, it was obvious. He was madly in love with his betrothed and so filled with lust and curiosity about what would happen between them in the bedroom. Though that was where the dread came in. The customs of this country were so odd. The court would be present in their bed chambers. Izuku had known this for quite some time, and though he'd been assured by his lady in waiting, the kitchen staff, and even Katsuki himself that this was just a tradition, the omega was incredibly nervous. What if the other alphas in the room went into rut and fought over him? What if he would be forced to submit to multiple alphas? What if Katsuki wanted to watch others bed him?

A large hand engulfed his own, warm and comforting. And when Izuku dared to lift his gaze, he saw carmine eyes watching him with mild concern. Katsuki was beautiful with his sharp jaw and piercing gaze, but more so his beauty came in the way of his actions. He brought Izuku flowers, and gifts, he made sure he was eating properly and had everything he could ever need or want.
