REVERSE first Heat Promptis, A/B/O Is it hot in here or is it just your dick?

[starless_sky]

 It was a normal day, a typical school day, perfectly delightfully average. The lectures were boring, the students were gossiping, the clock was going way too slow... Noctis was itching in his skin. He was hot and uncomfortable. He felt so anxious. He was fine. Everything was fine, perfectly normal. He was just.... breathing too shallowly and too quick. He was getting stares from others. Deep breath. In... out.... count..... in.... out.... count.... act normal. Wait. no. He was normal. This was fine. He was totally fine. He wasn't super aware of every single alpha in this classroom at the moment, it was just.... he always had a sensitive nose, it was nothing. He smelled them before today, nothing new. Everything was blissfully average. 

The bell rang for break. Despite being in the far corner of the room, Noctis was one of the first out of the classroom. He had to get air. He had to breathe something that wasn't this school. Because.... he was... trying to avoid the thought. Whatever this was it would pass if he just got to his hiding place and sat alone for a while. Just a little while. He needed air and space. Once he got to his place, his and Prompto's place now... he pulled off his blazer, tie, and unbuttoned the top buttons of his shirt. It was so hot. He couldn't disrobe completely, though he wanted to untuck his shirt but that was a bit too casual even for him. Ignis would have something to say about that when they met and he'd forgotten to re-tuck the shirt back in. 

He sat in the grass and just inhaled slowly, held his breath, and exhaled. Inhale... hold.... exhale.... his fingers felt twitchy. He must be coming down with something. Yeah just a cold...

Sitting at the desk in front of Noctis was both a blessing and a curse. He loved chatting with his best friend, passing notes, and hitting their favorite hangout during lunch break. School had become a completely different place now that he had a friend. It didn't feel like a slow trudge to get through the day, he actually enjoyed it, strange as it sounded.

On the other hand, as more and more students were becoming aware of themselves, aware of their bodies, especially, and began experiencing their first heats and ruts, it was a dangerous cocktail of pheromones and teenage hormones. Prompto had never thought he'd be an Alpha. Most of the population just weren't anything but ordinary Betas, but he'd known for a while now, and like many of his emotions, had managed to just press everything down til he had to deal with it. Which luckily, was only when he felt himself start going into rut. It'd been rare, he wasn't exactly social outside of hanging out with Noct, and he could beg off hanging out for a night alone every so often if he had to take care of it at home.

Today though, he could feel Noct's breath on the back of his neck, irregular and heavy, the scent he was giving off was familiar, but so thick and heavy that it drew him in, making his heart beat faster and his skin itch with unresolved tension. It took a few minutes to realize Noct was in heat. He'd had his suspicions for a while, but it was unheard of, that there would be an Omega in the royal family. Surely, they had to have known, had to have checked, but...

He turned to glance at his friend, attempting to be subtle, but Noct looked... Prompto had to turn quickly back around, the scent much stronger, the look of him enough to make Prompto have to adjust the way he was sitting and think cold-shower thoughts for a few minutes.

This was bad.

He had to do something, had to... he should probably call Iggy, or Gladio. Protecting Noct was their job, but... Prompto couldn't help a sharp, possessive feeling from slipping in, thinking of how much he wanted Noct, how easy it would be to make him his. But it passed, Prompto's hands balling into fists so tight his nails left little crescent marks on his palms.

When lunch break rolled around, he would try to get him somewhere safe, maybe take him to the office so he could call home? Either way, he would make sure to protect him, at least til someone else could... handle the situation. If he was already picking up the scent, the other alphas had to be noticing. Prompto would do anything he could to fend them off, but he wasn't exactly trained for combat.

But faster than he could blink, Noct was gone, bolted from the classroom quick as a shot, and Prompto was left fumbling for his things and following after, chasing the obvious scent down the hall and back to their meeting spot. He hoped it was just that he knew his friend's scent so well and not that it was overpowering and tempting and sweet.

Prompto ran up a few minutes after Noct, breathing somewhat rough from running the whole way. It was... damn, he'd already started to undress, heat clearly warming his pale skin with a rosy flush.

"Noct?" he tried to keep the needy rasp from his voice, disguising it as a cough before repeating his friend's name again. "Hey, Noct? You uh- you don't look so good. Can I call someone? Iggy or...?"

[starless_sky]

Noctis had learned to like school too. Prompto was the one light in his dreary school days full of pestering girls who aspired to be princesses and bothersome boys who thought they knew something about his gender identity. Noct knew what he was, of course, it was his greatest shame. Regis had always told his son there was nothing to be ashamed of, that his mother was a prideful Omega, capable of fighting with the best of the glaives but Noctis knew it would be something he'd have to answer for forever. Why was a crown prince an Omega? Why should anyone follow an Omega's rule? He had always kept it a secret, it was part of why he shied away from people, heaven forbid if an alpha discovered it.

And yet here he was in the throngs of what he knew deep down was his mortal peril. He knew he was in heat, couldn't admit it though. Couldn't admit it to himself and have to beg for help from the nurse and have to explain it. He was losing his faculties too quickly and cutting out of the classroom mid-lecture would stir up questions... or that's what he told himself.

Truth be told he wanted to stay close to Prompto. He smelled so good and he was so close. Even in the corner where they sat he felt safer. Despite knowing at least five alphas in this classroom he knew he could stay with Prompto. They did not frighten him and in fact breathing Prompto in all morning made him feel strangely calmer. Even as his body grew warmer. For a breif moment Prom turned to him, they almost made eye contact and then it was over. Prompto turned away. Noctis had to choke down a whine at that. Had he... been undesirable to look at? What had that meant? Wait he was overthinking it. He... had to breathe. In.... hold... out....

He had to get out of that room. He wanted to stay with Prompto but he had to breathe the clear air, he knew it was going to help. As Prompto followed him, the other Alphas knew what was up, they were kind enough not to say anything but they figured Prompto had a claim he wanted to make. They'd offer him that respect. If he could bag an omega... even if it was the prince. Wait, had that been the prince? Nah, couldn't be, must have just been their imaginations, besides, who could tell with how fast the omega was moving?

He believed it would but here he was in the hiding space fidgeting with his buttons trying to unbutton even more of them. He was nearly panting now and then Prompto was there. He knew it before his friend appeared, he sniffed the air and his thoughts started to go in inappropriate directions. Prompto was someone he'd accept, he'd welcome him as an Alpha. Maybe Prompto could stay with him here, maybe they could hide the rest of school and maybe he could just take this shirt off and...

Wait. Prompto was saying things to him. "Prompto..." he did not manage to disguise his own voice. It was raspy as he turned to his friend, as he got onto his knees, reaching for him. "You... came for me?" he smiled. The question Prompto asked was gone, never entered his brain in fact. "You don't... hate me? C....come here... I need to get some air."

[hajimetejanai]

Prompto tried not to think too much about the other alphas around him as he ran after Noct. He knew he'd do his best to defend his friend, but he was just one guy, and while Noct had the backing of the entire kingdom, Prompto was just... Prompto. He still wasn't entirely sure how he'd wound up with the sort of genes so many envied.

Shitshitshitshit- Prompto mentally cursed as he took in his best friend's state. Noct just looked so vulnerable, so helpless, it was strange to see him like this, and worse to feel his body reacting in the least helpful of ways. As Noct tried to unbutton his shirt still further, Prompto had to reach out and stop his hands, tried to meet his eyes, only to see that Noct's stormy blue was almost black, his pupils dilated and eyes glassy. Dammit.

Prompto swallowed hard, tried not to let his eyes drift down to all the bare skin from the normally reserved and quiet Noctis. Tried not to notice how surprisingly fit he was, how his complaints about training weren't just bravado, how toned and firm he was...

"Noct," he said again, surprising himself with the bite to his tone, a hint of command in his voice as he tried to get Noctis to think clearly. It was... getting more and more impossible for Prompto to do the same, to wade through his lust-tinged thoughts as the prince of Lucis was on his knees in front of him.

"Hey," he said a bit softer, crouching down to the same level, "come on, of course I came for you."

Leaning in was a mistake, Prompto got hit with a wave of pheromone, Noct's scent tempting and enough to make his mouth water with a deep and carnal hunger. He had to close his eyes for a moment, his grip on Noct's fingers tightening.

"No, no I don't hate you, I- Noct, where's your phone? We need to call Iggy, okay? We're gonna get you some help."

His mind was racing with options. Tell a teacher? No, he couldn't leave Noct alone, and if he tried to drag him back through the halls, there'd be a frenzy. He'd probably end up with his throat torn open and Noct would- Noct would...

"We're gonna get through this, okay? I'm here for you Noct."

[starless_sky]

They didn't say much but they were looking out the windows for Noctis or Prompto. They'd come searching soon for a chance at either usurping Prompto and taking his place with Noctis or getting sloppy seconds if Prompto was willing to share. They were otherwise nice kids but they couldn't help themselves in the face of such a powerful urge. Who at this age had practiced restraint at this level? Prompto apparently.

Outside Noctis is surprised to be stopped. Prompto's hands... they felt warm to him. He smiled and laced their fingers together. He could get into holding hands... for a moment. He wanted to still take his shirt off but it was hard to do that while holding Prompto's hands and picking at his shirt. Prompto's scent was divine. He could bathe in it, he hoped Prompto would stay and he could just breathe this in.

Everything regarding his body was lost on him. In fact, he wanted to see Prompto's response to him. Would he approve? Would he... like him? Hopefully yes? He glanced at Prompto, but his eyes were elsewhere... aww. Did he not like him? Was Gladio right about training more...

Then Prompto spoke and that tone. It commanded him into obedient silence. Eyes fixed on the alpha in front of him. He was quiet, waiting for instruction, eyes, nearly black, fixed on Prompto. Maybe now he'd tell Noct what he liked and he could fix it, he could be whatever Prompto wanted. His eyes followed Prompto's even as he crouched down. He scooted in closer, wanting to get more of that scent, more of the alpha... more of the one he hoped would be his alpha.

"Phone? I... dunno, guess I left it upstairs... Don't worry about it." the phone was in his blazer but he can't think of that right at the moment. He blushed a bit when Prompto said he'd be there for him.

"Do you mean you're staying... Good." he crept closer. He wanted to be in his arms, he wanted to be safe. He wanted to be in his bed and... "Help me. I can't get this off without my hands..."

[hajimetejanai]

Prompto was well-aware their time was limited. Even if he couldn't see the other alphas, he could smell them, not too far off, and the ticking of the clock was all too present in his mind. He had to get Noct out and fast, or risk absolute chaos.

Noct is already threading their fingers together and it makes his heart squeeze painfully in his chest, so aware of how much he wants this and how much he can't let himself take it. He's the alpha though, he has to be the responsible one, the protector, the one with the plan.

"Fuck," he hissed under his breath, unusually sharp for him, but it's like he can feel all his soft edges being worn down, leaving him raw and hard.

At least Noct was listening to him, even if he'd slipped and let a bit of his influence bleed over into his words. The omega was close, too close, and he wanted to let his teeth graze over that pale neck, let his tongue trace the curve of his jaw, damn, he could feel his resolve shrinking by the moment. Noct was already leaning in closer, he wanted this. Why couldn't he just take a bit for himself? He'd been so good. He'd always tried to be such a good friend and-

Prompto stood, taking of his jacket and giving those thoughts a hard shove. Disgusting. He hadn't started being Noct's friend because he wanted to fuck him, he wanted to support him, to help him through hard times, not... take advantage of him. He dropped the jacket over Noct's shoulders, hoping to mask the scent a bit, give them a few more seconds.

"Do you know Iggy's number?" he tried, knowing as he said it, that it was probably way too much to hope for. He'd met Ignis a handful of times, he might have his number somewhere as a private unknown unlisted blip on his call history, but trying to look it up in this panic was- it was definitely a bad idea.

Luckily, Prompto's home wasn't far. He walked to school every day. Twenty minutes, tops. Then he could- well it wasn't much but he could let Noct stay in his room until he could get hold of Iggy or Gladio and do... well- whatever it was that they were supposed to do in times of crisis like this.

"I'm not gonna leave you alone," he promised, "but we- we can't um- shit- Noct, we've gotta go, it's not safe here, okay?"

He glances around cautiously, but softens his expression as he tries to pull Noctis to his feet.

"Gonna go to my house, okay? I know you always wanted to check it out," he started rambling, just to fill the silence, to make this somehow seem normal.

[starless_sky]

Noctis did want this desperately. He'd thought of this future with trepidation before, imagining how he'd find a suitable alpha who could respect him and his authority as heir to the throne. Who would want to marry into royalty only to play second fiddle to their submissive mate? He'd need someone who would be willing to only exercise their power over him in the bedroom. Such an alpha doesn't exist, or so Noctis believed until he met Prompto. Becoming his friend was easy, falling for him was effortless, imagining him as his alpha... Well that came without trying too.

He knew the fear of being a vulnerable omega. It was part of being a vulnerable prince. He had too many reasons to close himself off. Secrets he couldn't share with others. His life was destined to be a lonely one. He'd resigned himself to never marrying and artificially inseminating himself to produce an heir. Or so he thought. Lately when he pictured that future a sadness would breeze through him and Prompto's face would fill his thoughts.

They're hand in hand now. It's so nice. Maybe this is the start of that imagined life he'd been cooking up. He's not been this close to anyone in ages. Just to be touched... Gods how he missed human contact and it certainly didn't hurt that his skin was so sensitive now.

Prompto cursed. Noct blinked at him, had he done something wrong? He's never heard his friend swear. Prompto was separating their hands so he must have messed up. He whined softly, disappointed. He'd try not to do anything Prompto didn't want. Then the jacket was around him and oh, this was a reward. The scent of an alpha. Maybe even his alpha... He loved it. He drank it in trying to memorize it. He'd need to know it well so he could build a nest that smelled like him.

Wait... Was he asking him something?

"Uh... 54...wait... 954...7..uh...27...mmm..." he is distracted thinking about the number. Iggy's number. He knows it. He can rattle it off any time but why were the digits so slippery in his memory? They seem just out of reach. He was still murmuring numbers when Prompto got him to his feet.

"Your house?" for some reason that's the thing that did it. Prompto's house. That's... They were leaving. Prompto looked nervous. Why was he nervous? Shouldn't he be comfortable? But then Noct smelled the other alphas. Nobody was out here. Yet. But he could smell them as if they were standing nearby. This wasn't him being sensitive. This wasn't a cold. Suddenly he was aware of his state of undress. Of Prompto trying to avert his eyes.

"This is real... Oh gods this is really happening." he whispered under his breath. He looked around for his blazer and tie and snatched them up from the ground in trembling hands. He came to the deepest part of the campus. This was a stupid place to go, now he had to escape from the back of the property and avoid all the alphas that caught his scent who would be blocking his way out by now. And try to avoid being seen leaving school.

He glanced at Prompto, eyes fearful. His breathing was coming quick. His mind was foggy but he remembered his friend's words. I'm not gonna leave you alone.

"I... Isn't there a back way out of here?"

[hajimetejanai]

Prompto was busy watching for any curious alphas, brows drawn together and showing the barest flash of teeth in a purely reflexive gesture. They had to get out, and fast. Noct could barely recall the string of numbers, definitely not in a way he could actually use. No, he had to get Noct safely out, then he'd call Iggy. He just had to- not look at or scent or touch or-

"Y-yeah, my house. Gonna be fun," he tried to make his voice sound more reassuring than it felt, "play some video games, show you how the common-folk live. You won't believe how cramped the shower is."

The decision seemed to get Noct moving though, but the sudden panic and fear in his friend's eyes made him swallow down his own. He had to be the strong one, he had to, because there was no one else. And if no one protected Noct then-

"Hey, it's gonna be okay," he repeated, trying this time, to put some semblance of reassurance and authority into his tone. He hoped Noct would find it comforting and not make things worse.

"Yeah, yeah, we're gonna hop the back fence," Prompto decided. It was just across the sports field and they'd have to hurry, but it wasn't like security was tight here. The worst that'd happen is the class president chasing them down, and even then, they had too much of a head start. The fence wasn't even that tall, six feet maybe, no wire at the top. It was decorative, not really meant to keep anyone in or out.

"You can do that, right? All that fancy training," all those toned muscles, "you could do this in your sleep. No problem, yeah?"

He offered his hand to Noctis, intent on dragging him out as quick as they could move.

[starless_sky]

Now that he was awake, as it were, he could smell other alphas getting closer. Or was that just him panicking? Was it all the same as a moment ago? Prompto looked defensive... He'd never seen him this way. Brows furrowed, teeth showing. It would be a lie to say he didn't want to see Prompto fight someone, especially on his behalf. He felt a bit hotter. Was that him or the sunlight?

He took Prompto's arm to steady himself. Nice idea with not looking at him or touching him but too bad, Prompto. This omega is all over you. Or at least he knows he can steady himself on his friend. He's feeling a little woozy or maybe he just got up too fast. The world feels fuzzy.

He prickled a bit as Prompto described what sounded like him being taken for sex. He wasn't against it but then they were talking video games. Okay that was safe. And then the shower. Uh... What was Prompto trying to say here?

Maybe he's being hard on him. Prompto is doing his best... This is his own fault. He should have refused to go to school. He should have left earlier. It matters not. He's here now. They're here now.

He takes Prompto's hand and he's surprisingly off-kilter. He can walk and even run but his body feels different. Like he can't quite get it to do things like climb. The closer they get to the fence the more nervous he feels, the taller that fence looks. The longer they spend going this way... No. Their other paths out are long since blocked. This is their one chance at escape.

"I... Don't know if I can." he's losing his coordination. He can make it up a few feet on the fence but then he falls. He looks sheepishly at Prompto. What a great demonstration he's giving. Unmarriageable.

"... Will you help me?" it felt terrible to ask and his face was red hot. Prompto was already doing so much for him but he really didn't think his jelly legs could support him over this thing. "Any other day you'd be right... But my legs are turning to jelly. I can't..."

[hajimetejanai]

Noct was going to be the death of him. Literally or figuratively, or maybe both. The closer Noct got, the way he clung to him, it made his blood run fast and feral, woke up all his baser nature and whispered in his ear all the lascivious things he wanted to do to Noct behind closed doors. He let out a quiet hiss of breath before pulling Noct along.

He can already tell it's not a great plan, that Noctis is barely able to stand, let alone run or climb, but he's hard pressed for other options right now. If he can't get Noct over the fence, the other option is trying to backtrack through school, dodge the other alphas, and sneak out the front without getting noticed. The lunchbell would sound soon and they were far enough out now that Noct's omega scent had to be dissipating back at the school, but might not be enough to stop a few curious stragglers in search of a good time.

When Noct couldn't make it more than a few feet without tumbling, Prompto was already on the brink of giving up, of trying to fight their way out, whatever the cost might be.

"It's uh- it's okay Noct, I know it sucks trying to do stuff when you're sick, but one more go, alright?" he told his friend, crouching to give him a boost, intent on helping to push him up and over in any way he could.

"C'mon buddy, make Ezio proud, okay?"

[starless_sky]

Noct could say the same for Prompto. What did his friend expect him to do, just hold it in? For the entire way home and then what? He was supposed to just play video games until it got better? That would take days! Was Prompto not... aware that he had a scent and it was already making Noctis attached to him? It wasn't the same as a bite or sex or anything but that scent... he was learning it. He'd respond to it faster than any other. With the absence of an alpha in his life, his body was very ready to form a bond with one. Anyone. He had to be deliberate about his choice in mate because his body would betray him as it was trying to do right now.

He was flustered and embarrassed to have tumbled to the ground but he had to try again. He was not about to go out the front of the school. Not only were there too many alphas that way but there were too many eyes and he wasn't up to skill to be sneaking out now. He'd get caught by a teacher and that would be worse than another alpha.

"I... I know. Don't... don't hate me." he sounded so small, but like Prompto he was being worn down too. His hard edges were the things that got lost in the hormones and the stress of all this. He was unable to keep up his antisocial barriers and he was just himself. Soft, afraid, looking for approval. "I can do it. I..." he climbed onto Prompto, grateful for the boost and hoisted himself up. He was going to do this if it killed him. He sat his butt on the top of the fence and before he could say a word to Prompto he lost his balance and fell over the other side into a bush.

"Dammit...really?" he started to get himself up. How embarrassing, he was a mess, Prompto must think he's a total loser. "Not assassin level free climbing, that's for sure."

[hajimetejanai]

Prompto was at just as much of a loss, confused and hormones quickly starting to take the forefront of his thoughts, making a mess of everything else. He felt like a bully, but he knew it was for Noct's own good, that he was protecting him, even if it didn't seem that way. His plan beyond "get Noctis to a safe place" didn't reach far beyond that. Try to call Iggy? Gladio? Much as his blood called him to take advantage of the situation, the worry that he'd be straight up murdered for putting a hand on the crown prince was also pretty good incentive.

"Noct, shit, I don't hate you, please," he couldn't help leaning in as Noctis approached, drinking in his scent and giving a quiet rumble of approval as he helped heft him up and over the fence. When he saw Noct fall though, he rushed to the fence, scrambling up and over in a matter of seconds and scrambling after him in the bush.

"Thank the Six," he breathed, relieved he'd made it over, but blaming himself for the omega's injury. What a shitty alpha, dammit, he winced, mentally kicking himself.

"Gods, I'm sorry Noct," he offered a hand to help him up. He didn't think he could carry his friend on his own, but maybe he could give him a piggy-back the rest of the way. Yeah! That could work, he could carry Noct and it would put the omega in a position to relax, close enough to scent him, Prompto would just... have to keep from wanting to tear his friend's clothes off the rest of the way to his house. Fuck.

"Noct, listen, okay? We're almost there, just a little further. I'm gonna carry you, can you get on my back?"

[starless_sky]

He was hardly being a bully. A bully would have insulted Noctis and demanded submission by now. A bully might have taken advantage of him here in the field but Prompto was taking care of him. He knew that even in his foggy brain. If it hadn't been for Prompto he'd still be in his hiding spot probably getting assaulted right now. He shook that thought away. That isn't happening and he has Prompto to thank. Iggy and Gladio... they shouldn't hurt him, he's a good man. Noctis would do his best to protect him if it came to that, he'd tell them how Prompto saved him and he was the only alpha to do so.

"I... you don't?" he asked so meekly before he got his boost up. He couldn't deny being close to Prompto was nice. Having his hands on him was better. He wanted to stay put but then he was on top of the fence and then in the bush.

"I'm fine... sorry, that was really stupid. I can walk, I..." he is so embarrassed he wants to handle everything himself now to save any more humiliation but Prompto had his hand on him. He felt so warm, Prompto was so close and he could look into his eyes, his beautiful eyes. How nice it would be to always be able to look into them...

"Maybe I... need help." this was a risky decision to climb on Prompto's back but as he did so, as he climbed onto his friend and his chest met Prompto's back he could smell him. He tucked his head down, pressed his nose in close and sighed.

"Ready." he had Prompto's blazer on and his own in his hands around Prompto's front. As the trip went on though, Noctis would only get more wanton. He'd start to whimper softly, start to breathe quicker, start to... feel Prompto. At a crosswalk waiting for the light to change he found himself flattening his palm against his friend's clavicle and mindlessly playing with his tie. It was in the way, he had to get it off.

[hajimetejanai]

It made his heart hurt to hear Noct ask, as if he was surprised somehow that Prompto wouldn't hate him. How could he hate his best friend? Especially when that someone was as amazing as Noct? He shook his head, helping Noctis get to his feet.

"You don't have to apologize Noct, geez, you sound like me," he tried for a nervous laugh as he helped his friend up, trying not to think about how warm and soft he felt as he clambered up onto his back, breath near his ear. He wanted to turn, to claim that mouth as his own, then and there, but he managed to wrench his gaze away and look forward, content to feel the press of him against his back and the firm thighs under his arms as he carried Noct.

"Right," he said, mostly to himself, "we got this. Almost there."

It was just like his morning runs, just... carrying another entire person. Just a few more blocks. He might not have a broad chest or strong arms, but he never skipped leg day, he could run circles around at least half the class. As long as he lifted with his legs and kept putting one foot in front of the other, he'd be okay.

Noct was really testing him. He knew it wasn't the omega's fault, that they were all symptoms and signs of a heat taking hold, but every little whimper and touch had him that much closer to losing it. He'd never been this close to an omega in heat, never experienced a rut this way. It was so much stronger than he'd anticipated, so hard to keep his body from just acting on his every impulse.

"Noct," he swallowed, breath already ragged from the exertion, "you're killin' me."

He let out an approving rumble as Noct's hands began to roam, but shook his head, trying to clear the muddied thoughts.

"I can see it from here, y-yeah?" he tried to pick up the pace, giving a frantic laugh of relief when he turned down the street to his house, and tumbling to a halt once he reached his doorstop, his knees hitting the pavement, palms quick to follow.

"Made it."

[starless_sky]

It wasn't something he would admit to later but he really did fear Prompto might not like him as an omega. He was projecting his insecurities by asking but the worry was real. He had a difficult life ahead of him being an omega, he thought so at least. But having the support of someone so wonderful could make all the difference. Prompto was special, Prompto didn't have to like or obey him, he was honest. He had nothing to lose after all.

"I... is that bad? I like you." he said not really thinking about it. "You apologize too much though..." he got comfy and just tried to breathe as they moved along. Prompto was faster than he expected. He didn't seem to struggle under the added weight. His scent was nice, listening to his breathing was getting him worked up. He need only close his eyes and imagine that breathing in time with Prompto thrusting into him. He mewled softly as he shook his head. Woah woah... don't get caught up with that just yet. Wait, just yet? He had to calm down... but... Prompto's arms around his legs felt good. He was sturdy, Noct could tell.

"You're strong." he smiled as he whispered in Prompto's ear. His fingers were already in his tie and even that comment about killing Prompto didn't stop him, and then that rumble. Gods that sent a shiver through him. What did he have to do to get more of that? He tugged more at Prompto's tie. He'd figure it out, he'd be a good omega, he'd make him happy.

And then they were on the ground. Noctis tumbled to the pavement, rolling off Prompto and sitting up in confusion. "Where... why did you fall?" he looked at the door.

"Was it my fault?" he felt a pang of guilt but he had to get them inside, somewhere he could hide from the world. Nobody need seem him like this. In the fall his phone slid out of his blazer pocket. He groaned. Of course... he closed his eyes for a second. He really was an idiot right now. He snatched the device and typed out a mostly coherent message to Ignis.

"Come on, can you get up? I can open the door. Where's your key?" he reached under Prompto, feeling for his pockets. "Don't tell me you left it in your bag."

[hajimetejanai]

Prompto would like Noct no matter what he was; alpha, beta, or omega, but it made it a lot harder to ignore his feelings, or be completely sure of where his own private crush on Noct ended and his hormones began. Speaking of, hearing Noct say he liked him both pulled at his heartstrings and made him want to bend his best friend over the nearest sturdy piece of furniture.

"I... I guess not, if it doesn't bother you," Prompto tried not to read too deeply into it. Noct liked him, sure, but as a friend, right? Nothing more. He couldn't think of it as anything deeper.

But hearing Noct urge him on, tell him he was strong, feel his fingers working clumsily at his necktie, or gods the shiver that he felt run through him. It was lucky indeed that his house was so close or he'd have chosen a dirty back alley somewhere.

"Sorry..." he panted, "just needed a little break and-"

He could hear something clatter to the ground, but it was so much background noise as he fought for control. He held it together til he felt Noct reaching around him, hands fumbling at his pockets. As if he wasn't already hard.

"Noct," was all the warning he managed before he surged forward, pushing Noct back against the porch, wasting no time in pressing him back into the doormat, one hand landing palm down at the side of Noct's head as he leaned down over him. Prompto wasn't completely on top of him, but he pressed a knee insistently between his thighs, breath coming hard and ragged. He met Noct's eyes for a moment before hanging his head, nuzzling in close enough to take a deep breath of Noct's scent.

"It's not safe," he gritted out, "I know I'm not- not much of an alpha, but I am an alpha. It's too dangerous. You can't just- I'm at my limit, Noct. Please."

[starless_sky]

Prompto might be in for a surprise then. Noctis knew exactly where his feelings for his friend ended and his hormones began and they were colliding right now. This heat was the perfect opportunity to say some things that needed to be said. Alpha, beta, omega, it didn't matter what Prompto was but it was acutely beneficial that he was an alpha. He could be with an alpha for life, he could have children with an alpha. He wanted to have them with Prompto... if he was honest with himself. Not right away of course but he was the one. Noct's heart had made its choice. He felt daring saying he liked Prompto, even though that was an insulting understatement.

"Being like you could never bother me." he wouldn't mind the back alley at this moment. He'd be glad he was getting fucked and he could regret their choice of location forever after that. He would prefer a locked door between them and any observers but in this state, he's not likely to complain about it.

But then things changed. Prompto pinned him and... he'd never seen this side of his friend before. Honestly, it surprised him to be put in his place so succinctly. He went still in obedience. Prompto's voice commanded it. In no time flat, he was on his back and he went still. The hand at his head was perhaps meant to be intimidating but it did nothing but arouse him. He liked this, to be talked down to was new and surprisingly it thrilled him. The knee between his legs made his lips part and he gasped softly as Prompto leaned in so close he could taste him in the air.

"Then... you'd better get that door open. It's not fair what you're doing to me. I... I'm in the same boat as you."

[hajimetejanai]

Prompto was sure he just didn't know what he was saying. He was delirious with the heat, would say the same to anyone just to satisfy his omega instincts, wouldn't he? Prompto was starting to have his doubts, but either way, he didn't mind the slight ego-stroking, hearing he was someone Noct liked and trusted.

But just as quickly, he knew he'd betrayed that trust, putting Noct beneath him, taking advantage of his weakened state, satisfying himself by drinking in that omega scent. He had to pause, setting his head on Noct's shoulder for a moment as he steadied himself. Right. Get the door open. He had to get inside, get Noct to safety. It felt near impossible when he glanced down at the prone form, lips parted and breath warm and welcoming.

Where was the key? He'd left his bag behind at school, but luckily, there was a spare key under the mat. Prompto pushed himself up, rocking back on his knees to give Noctis room to move before reaching down to push the mat aside.

"Right, I- Sorry," he breathed, finally pushing himself up and working the key into place. The house was empty, as always, his scent faint throughout, but little could be seen or smelled of any other occupants. It made for a lonely childhood, but right now? It was just what they needed.

"Inside, hurry," he urged, unable to keep a note of command from his voice.

[starless_sky]

Noct wasn't that far gone yet. He wasn't stroking any egos either, he was simply braver in the presence of his favorite person while his walls were down. He could never have said this before though the sentiment certainly existed.

Prompto was just making his boundaries known. Noctis understood even if he had no enthusiasm for staying 'safe'. He had a house just for him and Prompto, he had Prompto practically panting for him, he had texted Ignis saying he was in heat and he left school. To leave him alone for a few days. It was destiny to be with Prompto. Just looking at him made Noct a bit wet. He was so beautiful but that commanding tone made his blood run hot. Prompto wasn't used to it, clearly, but he had a fine alpha temperament underneath all that self-doubt.

Once Prompto got up Noctis sat up and out of the way. Once the door was open he practically leapt to his feed and ducked into the house. He glanced at the room briefly before he flopped down on the nearest seat and took a deep breath. It was indeed Prompto's house, it smelled like him... and... no one else. Not that that fact was one he focused on. He would notice it more if there were competing scents in here but it was just Prompto which made Noct all the more comfortable. This place was pretty tiny but it looked nice. He'd be happy here.

"The door... lock it." he looked to Prompto, a bit desperate. He wanted to be safe here, to be locked in before this got out of his control and he really was someone who would say anything to any alpha.

"Listen... I... come here... please?" he wanted to get up but he wondered if Prompto might get mad at him. He started to unbutton his shirt and then paused. Prompto had to stop him from doing that before. Noct pressed his palms to his sides. Be good. But... they were alone now... could he take it off?

[hajimetejanai]

Prompto felt a flood of relief once they were inside, and clearly Noct was in a hurry to put some distance between them. At least, that's what he'd thought. The space would help, at least get him to calm down, he hoped, until help could arrive. Help. Right, he needed his phone, needed to call Iggy.

When Noct begged him to lock the door, his thoughts derailed and he clicked it shut behind him, running on autopilot. Right. Lock them in, where Noct would be safe. Where no one else could get to them- no, him. Where no one could get to Noct.

"Noct," he sighed, a slight rumble in his voice, a flash of teeth in a smile that was more than just the familiar, friendly one. He took a couple steps closer, watching as Noctis fidgeted, seemed so needy, so desperate. He could practically smell how wet he was.

"I'll hear you out, but- I wanna- fuck- I don't want you to get the wrong idea Noct, I... you can use my room, my scent's all over, it's not great, but- but maybe it's enough to get you through. I... shit, you're my best friend, okay? I don't... I don't wanna ruin that," he was rambling, but he had to get it out, had to let Noct know, if they stayed like this any longer, he was going to lose control, he would push too far, do something he couldn't take back.

He ran his hands through his hair, suppressing a groan at having to wait even another minute. His body was begging to release, rut deep into the nearest omega and feel those tight walls around his knot. Noct was begging him to get closer and

"I just- I don't wanna lose you."

[starless_sky]

Noct released a breath when the door lock clicked. Good. They were safe. No one could come in now... they couldn't be interrupted. His eyes flicked up to Prompto. He was smiling but a bit more feral than normal. That rumble in his voice. Noct hadn't heard an alpha respond to him before, it was doing things to him, he felt wet, he felt fuzzy like he couldn't think straight. Just focusing on what was asked of him was enough.

He was so ready to do anything Prompto wanted, ready to fulfill his every command and to be the omega he was born to be. But Prompto's words were so confusing. What was he saying, did he not want this? Did he... wait. No, think Noct. Listen. He's full of doubt. He's scared. But the way he was talking... nevermind. Neither of them had time to beat around the bush. This heat was eating his sanity bit by bit, he didn't have much time.

"What are you saying? I don't want to go in your room alone. I want you there. I came here with you because..." well he had no other choice. He couldn't know what he'd have done if someone else had found him in his hiding place but he believed that anyone else would not have been able to lead him away. He'd have resisted.

"You're not gonna ruin it. I might ruin it but I don't have much time. I..." he didn't want to say it. He didn't want to be humiliated here, his heart rose to his throat. He choked. Prompto's face was so close, his eyes that beautiful purpleish blue, freckles sprayed across his face. He was the one... the kindest alpha he knew, the only one he trusted. He had to try. Even if Prompto turned him down.

"I don't want to lose you either. I want it to be you. This isn't the heat talking. I've thought this for a long time. I know it's you. You're the one I want... if... if you'll have me." he looked away at the floor, too scared to look at Prompto's face. What if he said no? He'd want to crawl in a hole and die. But he'd know. At least he'd know. Better than never asking. "I know the omegas aren't really supposed to ask... please... say something."

[hajimetejanai]

Prompto was ready to lock himself in the bathroom, he was about to start climbing the walls at any moment. If Noct had any idea how much his willpower was being tested, how weak he felt. Unable to keep himself from giving in to his baser desires.

I want it to be you.

Despite all his rambling, Prompto had tried, really tried not to let his real feelings show. And here was Noct, desperate and hot with heat-fever, but still more honest than he'd managed to be. He could feel his breath catch in his throat and he took a few steps closer, crouching to look him in the eye where he sat, one hand moving to Noct's knee, massaging slow circles with his thumb. It was almost involuntary, a motion he was barely aware of.

"Noct... you... you mean it?" he wasn't sure he dared hope, knew there were a million reasons he shouldn't accept, but they all paled in comparison if Noct actually wanted him, really meant it. His hand slid further up his friend's thigh and he leaned in, pressing closer so Noct had to lean back against the couch or allow Prompto to close the space between them. He knew if he were in his right mind, he'd want to celebrate, want to hug Noct, want to make promises and think about their future, but for now...

"I..." he gave a short, breathy laugh, "If I'll have you? Astrals Noct, you know how long I've wanted you?"

He shook his head once, his other hand moving closer, tracing a line up Noct's hastily buttoned shirt, trailing a thin finger up his neck til it rested under his chin.

"I can't... wait another minute Noct, just..." he took a deep breath, leaning low to take in his scent, "no regrets... okay?"

[starless_sky]

Noct would have been on the other side of that door making life difficult for Prompto. They'd have had a hard time getting through this heat if they stayed separated. He may have needed to be locked in Prompto's room, unable to leave.

Noct's desperation was as much about survival as it was about love. He needed to be claimed, being an unbonded omega made him nervous. Who knew when he'd go into heat and someone might have an opportunity to attack him? He'd feel better if he had a mate and a bite, at least he felt that way since Prompto.

As his friend stepped over to him Noctis hoped he'd have good things to say. The hand on his knee was like fire. Gods, Prompto was touching him. In a suggestive way? His own hand slid immediately over the one on his knee. His eyes locked to Prompto's, his attention fixed on his voice.

"I do. I mean it." said obediently but it was no less true. As Prompto's hand slid up his thigh Noct's eyes closed and his lips parted. His legs slid open a bit, his lips parted, he sighed softly. Rather than lean back he leaned forward and put his hands on Prompto's shoulders. What use would more distance do? They could celebrate later, maybe when he was of a mind to talk about the future but for now he was seconds from slipping into madness.

"I... you do?" he managed to smile then too. "Then...mmm..." he shivered as Prompto touched his bare skin. That was so much, almost sensory overload. His eyes opened as Prompto tilted his chin. He was so close. "... no regrets...please... make me yours."

lol I don't have enough top-Prompto icons for this, ignore those blushy cheeks. XD

[hajimetejanai]

Prompto hesitated, meeting Noct's eyes as he waited for an answer. His pupils were blown and dark with desire, his lips... damn, they were open, almost begging, the soft sigh...

The reassurance was all the answer he needed. If Noct's words weren't enough, his body was sending out every welcoming signal, and Prompto's wanted nothing more than to respond in kind. The scent hit him even stronger as Noct's thighs slid open a bit wider, inviting him in.

Prompto let his hand travel up to the juncture between hip and thigh, massaging the tender skin there. Noct's hands on his shoulders reminded him that both of them wanted it, both of them craved it, and he didn't have to hold back. He leaned in, kissing those parted lips, letting his tongue run over the lower lip before gently sucking on it. He'd dreamed of this moment so many times, maybe not ever quite like this, but what did it matter if Noct was kissing him?

"Good," he purred, once they finally parted. "I won't regret it either."

His other hand slid back down Noct's neck, pressing into his shoulder and guiding him down onto the couch. He leaned in close, breath warm against Noct's ear as the hand on his thigh started to move inward, applying light pressure as he felt between Noct's legs, gripping him gently at first, over his clothes.

"Are you wet for me? Tell me how much you want it."

LOL aye aye!

[starless_sky]

Noct was responding to each small touch, but he didn't have a chance to shiver when Prompto moved his hand up his leg. They were already kissing and gods Prompto was good. Not that Noct had much to base that on but this felt amazing. He moaned into Prompto's mouth as soon as his lip was played with. He didn't even know that was a thing-- it felt so incredible? When the kiss ended he followed Prompto, chased his retreating lips and a soft whine came from him. Not so soon...

And then he was on his back. This was more to the point. He could barely stand it, he needed to get naked. But Prompto seemed to have other plans. The hand between his legs had him arching his back and the whisper at his ear had him moaning again.

"Y-yes... please I'm gonna die if you don't... please." limply he reached one hand down to Prompto's belt and started to undo it. Clumsily. He wanted to dip in his hand and feel him, to help move this along. He closed his eyes, breathing deeper. "I need it... I need you to fuck me."

[hajimetejanai]

Prompto wasn't used to leading, even among alphas, he was usually at the bottom of the pecking order, but as he coaxed each moan and whimper from Noct's lips, he found he enjoyed it, much more than he thought he would. No fantasy could match up to this, the feel of an omega- no, not just an omega, Noct beneath him, warm and willing and wet.

He knew Noct was desperate, wanted nothing more than to make him come, over and over, to come inside him and fill him completely. But as Noct reached for his belt, Prompto put a hand over his, nipping the skin of his neck lightly, grip below his waist firming up, tone chastising.

"Soon," he whispered, a smirk coloring his expression as he began licking and sucking at the abused skin. It wasn't a mark that would scar, but leaving a few bruises and love bites to linger was something he never thought he'd get to enjoy. Noct was used to getting what he wanted, to getting his way, but Prompto was the alpha and he wouldn't be rushed, even if he was hard and leaking himself.

"Let me see you," he insisted, hand moving up to flick at Noct's belt, slowly working the leather through the metal buckle, "why don't you take that shirt off for me?"
