To Be In Your Arms Again

Chapter 4: Nostalgia

Nothing at the beginning of your blissful evening together had you prepared to be completely sore the following morning. True it had been so long since you were last intimate with Noctis, let alone anyone else. Whereas from the multiple bouts of love Noctis showered you with, you were beginning to thank your strict training regime for maintaining enough stamina. Noctis wasted no time in loving every part of you as if making up for lost time. You had yearned for him just as much, if not more.

You gazed at the sleeping Prince next to you, gently brushing a few strands of hair from his handsome face. Your thoughts wandered to how it was in the beginnings of your training as a glaive. Your heart fluttered every time his name or royal title was announced through the hallways or by others. You did well to mask your excitement if ever you heard anyone from the Crownsguard or Royalty themselves visiting the training grounds. Any slight chance of showing your close association with them in your early stages may well and truly be frowned on. You knew how competitive new recruits were. More so when the determination to prove oneself to be worthy of being bestowed a small inkling of the Royal Family's power. Training was tough, but you succeeded in securing a spot within the top ten of the new recruits. Your efforts had not gone unnoticed by the boys who threw a mini party for you within the palace walls. You were relieved to see they hadn't changed in the several months you hadn't seen them in. You had gone straight into training the moment you returned. Silently making you thank Ignis for allowing you and Noctis to be alone in the two days prior to returning to Insomnia.

You had caught up with Prompto and Gladio more often due to your training schedules, and the chocobo-loving boy wanting to see you every second day. They knew you always wanted any update possible on the Crowned Prince of Lucis. Assuring you along with Ignis he was doing well, often teasing you that Noctis missed his other half quite a lot. Their laughter after such teasing often told you that you had left yourself open and resulting in you blushing furiously. Leading to more teasing of the dirty kind.

Noctis mumbled a little in his slumber, making you giggle a little before you turned away from him to look at the clock on the bedside table. Having seen it was only eight in the morning, you welcomed the idea of sleeping in a little more. You yelped in surprise when you felt a bare chest press against your back and a pair of strong arms wrap around your waist. Feeling a little shy, you tucked your face into his duvet. A knock on his bedroom door made your head shoot up in panic. Did Noctis lock his bedroom door last night? Did he ever lock his bedroom door? You turned around in Noctis' arms to face him, seeing he was still sound asleep. If it hadn't been for another few soft knocks on the bedroom door, you would have let him sleep more, noticing how peaceful he looked.

"Noct?" You asked, pulling on his ear lightly, he stirred a little, making you roll your eyes. Of course, he wouldn't have grown out of his habit of sleeping like a log. You tugged his hair roughly this time, making him wince in pain and taking a peek at you.

"Huh?" Noctis mumbled, rubbing his eyes.

"Noct! Someone is knocking!" You whispered in panic. Noctis, in a half-awake gaze, blinked a few times, letting your words register. He sighed as if finally understanding what you said and snuggled back into you.

"So?"

"Did you happen to lock the door?"

"No? Why?"

"So you're okay with whoever is at the door seeing me naked in your bed?" You asked, smirking at your victory when his eyes flew open with a possessive shine about them. You gave him a teasing innocent smile and sat up with his blanket just covering above your breasts. Noctis instantly sat up pushed you back down in the bed and towered over you.

"To hell and back to anyone who sees you like this other than me," Noctis growled, kissing you roughly before leaving the warmth of the bed and walking into his wardrobe. You stole a glance at his bare buttocks, before snuggling into the duvet once again, ensuring you were covered from your neck and below.
