Ardyn sat next to his aunt as he watched his father talk with other family members. They had both just arrived and he was slowly starting to regret agreeing to come along. It’s not that he doesn’t love his family. It’s that he’s been to these family gatherings and they remain uneventful. The twins his cousin birthed a year ago are doing well and so was her Mate. Someone else within the family got either promoted or a pay raise. Others talk about sports or the recent celebrity scandals circling around, but never politics since the last time that happened things actually got exciting and nobody wants that. There was one new thing, their distant relatives decided to join in the festivities this year because they have found the time to make the travel. Sadly, they were just as boring as the rest.
So he sits beside his aunt, listening to her endless chatter about her life and finding himself dying a little inside. He loves her as any doted nephew does. Truly he does. But her life stories are the same each year. And each year, he plays the understanding nephew while never saying a thing. He could get up and talk, but he will get asked those same questions that he doesn’t want to answer. Has he found anyone yet? Why was he, a twenty-two year old Alpha, still single? Has he looked at this or that dating site? Wasn’t there that one cute Omega at his workplace? And on and on the endless questions go. He would rather catch the fabled Starscourge.
It was about an hour and a half later, he can hear the muffled sound of the front door to his great-great grandmother’s house opened. Who was arriving this late? A quick movement made him look toward his father’s direction. He looked tense and facing the direction where the noise came from. Why? The man hastily exited the living room into the hallway. All the while, his aunt was still talking in the background. Ardyn almost left her in mid-conversation, though it was one-sided, but his father taught him better. That wouldn’t be very gentleman-like and his father didn’t raise a barn animal.
“Pardon me Aunt Levi, but I must speak with my father,” he places on a remorseful face and he slowly rises from the couch. His aunt stops mid-sentence and waves a hand at him, “Oh, no worries, dear nephew. We can continue another time.”
“Of course.”
He gives her a smile and a slight bow before turning away from her. He moves around relatives before nearly reaching the hallway. He can hear muffled voices as he draws closer, his father’s voice is the first to become clear “-you to come, I would expect for you to arrive on time.”
“Well pardon me, but there was an issue with the flight and we had to take another. I tried to call you, but you never answer your damn phone,” this voice he recognizes immediately as his mother. His eyes widened in surprise and he halts near the entryway of the hallway. His mother was here? Who invited her? Why didn’t his father tell him? Feeling a bit irked by this unexpected arrival, he goes to enter the hallway. However, someone else rounds the corner and bumps right into him. The impact does little to affect him, but the Omega, by their scent and clothing, goes falling backwards. Quickly he curves his arm around their waist and keeps them from landing on the ground, “Careful there,” his eyes focused on the person in front of him and he felt his heart tighten. Noctis…his little brother, here in the flesh, he could hardly believe it. It was years ago when his parents divorced and separated. He was placed in his father’s care, his brother in his mother’s care. In truth, he wondered if he’d ever see him again.
“I…I’m sorry, sir.”
Sir…? Does Noctis not-? “Noctis, do you not remember me?”
Noctis feels a shiver rise up his back at the feel of the man’s hand on his waist. His heart beats faster too, the blood rushing to his cheeks. He grips the man’s arm in an attempt to stay centered. Blue eyes connect to amber eyes and roams up to see messy maroon hair and a familiar red scarf with orange designs. A breath is caught in his throat at the realization. “Ardyn?”
“The one and only.”
“Ardyn…,” the Omega slumps against him as he clings closer to his brother. His brother’s scent has changed from what bits he can recall. It was mellower with a smooth trace of bergamot and a mix of woody scents. The maroon man held his brother as he watched Noctis draw closer to him. He smiled at the open affection and drew him in for a tight hug. Ardyn breathed in his little brother’s scent of English tea leaves now mixed with a subtle hint of roses since emerging as an Omega. However, another faint scent caught his nose and made him freeze. He was unsure of what he smelled, so he inches his face near Noctis’ neck and takes a few sniffs. All the while Noctis’ arms wrap around his neck, pulling him closer with a whimper, “Alpha…”
The older brother feels his body react to the heat’s aroma beginning to exude from the raven haired teen. He grips the arms encircling him and reluctantly removes them. Blue eyes tear up, fearing rejection. “Alph- Ardyn…?”
He can hear a few sniffles from pouty lips and murmurs, “Patience, Omega.”
The younger whines as he stubbornly shakes his head. Small hands try to return to their original place, but not strong enough to oppose the strength of larger hands. Alpha instincts kick in and Ardyn pushes the arms to Noctis’ sides and growls, “Listen. Wait.”
At the commanding tone, the Omega slumps a bit. The frowny pout brings back memories of fonder times. Ardyn smiles at his little brother as memories of the same mopey face child begging Ardyn to play with him. A woman’s voice draws his attention back to his parents who were now focused on the siblings. His mother was looking between the two while his father looked like he ate something tart. “What is going on here?”
Ardyn was about to speak, but his mother beat him to it. “Noctis is in heat.”
“I know that!”
“Then why ask you oaf,” she draws closer to them and notices how Noctis’ eyes never stray from Ardyn. Her eldest seems to be keeping himself under control, but even she can see the want in his eyes. She should have seen this coming since they were so close when they were children. The multiple conversations in the living room stopped. It seems the entire family can smell the heat as well.
“What’s with the heat scent? Is someone pulling a prank?” A family member spoke up from in the other room. Another answered, “No, this is a real one. Whose is it?”
“This is unacceptable. Did you know this would happen? Of course you wouldn’t tell me that Noctis was having heats,” their father hisses to his ex-mate.
“This is his first heat.”
“First? But he’s only fifteen years old.”
“I know. It seems his Mate triggered it.”
“He has a Mate? Why did you not tell me?”
“Because I didn’t even know until now. Can’t you read between the lines or are you being willfully ignorant of what’s right before you?”
“What?”
A cousin entered the hallway, mouth open to ask a question. She halts in the doorway, looking at the scene before her. Spotting Noctis and Ardyn together, everything clicks and she quickly turns back into the living room. “It’s some Omega in the hallway and Ardyn is with him!”
“What? You mean to tell me he found someone?”
“Why did he not tell us?”
“Ardyn! You need a room?”
The maroon man could only shake his head in irritation and pure embarrassment. He hears his brother whimper again and he takes one of his hands to his lips. “You’re doing well, Mate.”
“Ardyn, stop that. That’s your brother!” His father admonishes him.
“Hush you stubborn bull. You cannot change this,” their mother defends.
“This cannot be ordained by the Astrals. They are blood siblings.”
“Noctis is only watching Ardyn and no one else.”
“Noctis is simply reacting to the closest Alpha to him,” their father moves past his sons and peers into the living room. He asks for a distant Alpha relative to come to the hallway. One reluctantly appears and was directed to stand near the brothers. Ardyn turns to the encroaching Alpha and gives him a threatening glare and tight lip grimace. The raven haired teen takes up the opportunity of his Alpha’s distraction to cling lithe fingers into his detailed vest and white dress shirt. He also raises himself onto his toes and sweetly licks under his brother’s stubble chin. In retaliation, Ardyn places a hand on Noct’s hip and squeezes, making the teen release a breathy moan. A low growl emanates within the hallway and the relative decides to not get any closer and backs away. Feeling the vibration through his fingers, Noctis quivers in his Mate’s hold. In an attempt to gain back Ardyn’s attention; the Omega nuzzles under the scratchy chin while delicately tracing his lips along his brother’s Adam Apple. The boy’s mother glares at her ex-mate, “Will you stop. I swear you are such a control freak. This is why I severed myself from you.”
“Quiet, woman! You are abhorrent if you think this is okay-“
“Enough, Orpheus,” a withered feminine voice spoke up from the living room doorway. It was still quiet in the other room except the few murmurs heard. She was an aged woman with pure white hair tucked up in a bun. Bold amber eyes akin to her great grandson, Ardyn, surveyed the scene occurring in her hallway. The elder Omega wore a simple dark green, long sleeved, ankle length dress with a few flares of shimmers on it. Her voice held authority, “We shall discuss this in the living room. Ardyn, get your coat and put it on your Mate.”
“Of course, Gran,” he leads Noctis to the hall closet and removes his coat from its hanger. He tucks it around Noctis and it engulfs the Omega, sleeves too long and the bottom trailing on the floor. The heat scent is somewhat muffled, but it won’t last long. His brother sniffs the coat and covetously wraps the coat around his frame. Noctis leans into Ardyn and sighs, “Big brother.”
Ardyn places his hand on the back of Noctis’ neck and softly massages that area. The affect was immediate with Noctis leaning into the hand, eyes closed and mouth partially open in a silent moan. The eldest kisses the side of his brother’s mouth. The teen quickly turns his head to get a full kiss, but the man withdrew his head before their lips could connect. Noct’s voice filled with irritation, “Ardyn!”
Amber eyes twinkled with mirth as a throaty chuckle left his smirking lips. He continued the massage which made his brother grudgingly compliant. A cough from his mother brought him back to the audience that was watching them. He redirects his hand from Noctis’ neck to his waist and guides him to the living room. The entire family watches as they enter and sit on a couch a bit away from them. Once the siblings were seated, the elder woman speaks again, “It seems that we have a Bond between two family members, Ardyn and Noctis.”
The whispers picked up with that sentence. Noctis turned to Ardyn and gracelessly maneuvers to sit on his lap sideways, legs stretched out to the right of Ardyn. The maroon haired man raises an eyebrow at his brother’s antics. He gets another surprise when his brother grinds into his groin. Taking a sharp intake of breath, he places one hand on Noctis’ hip and the other on his outer thigh. He tightens his grip as he reciprocates with his own harsh thrust up, making the Omega bounce in his lap. The raven grins in excitement and tries to grind again, but is stopped by his brother’s strength. He whines at the restriction. All the while, their family converses unknowing of the sibling’s foreplay.
“Who’s Noctis?”
“Isn’t he Ardyn’s little brother?”
“How is that even possible?”
“Is she sure about that?”
The elder Omega allowed the discussions for a moment before speaking again, “This is not the first time this has happened in the family.”
That quieted everyone. The silence didn’t bother Noctis as he was too busy trying to get Ardyn to release his leg and hip so that he can continue, but his brother wasn’t going to let him.
“You all seem to forget that my great-great grandmother, who was an Omega, was mated to her younger brother, a Beta.”
For a few minutes the room is filled with noise and Ardyn assessed the commotion with calculating eyes. His focus was on his parents the most. Their mother watched the family members talk over one another. His father spoke not a word and was motionless where he stood. All the while, Noctis remained unaware to what was happening behind him. Thrilled at managing to get Ardyn to give him control of his outer leg, he gets an idea and deviously moves the coat a bit to reveal his skirts. Attracting his brother’s attention, he grips the ends of his skirts and slowly slides them up his legs. He watches his brother’s lips part slightly and honey-amber eyes darken. Stopping at the top of the lace of his thigh high stockings, he then gradually bends his knees up a little. The final act that forced a reaction was the slight spreading of his legs.
The elder’s voice spoke up once more, “Though rare, the Bond is still honored.”
Ardyn latches firmly onto the inner thigh of Noctis’s right leg. The teen spasms in his lap and clamped his legs together on the hand at the sudden grip on a highly sensitive part. Placing his lips close to Noct’s ear he gives a warning growl and a nip to try and get his brother to settle down. Perhaps the nip wasn’t a good idea since Noctis folds his hands together behind Ardyn’s neck and hums in contentment and once more grinds his hip down. Before the heat’s scent could permeate the living room and alert everyone to their actions, he releases his little brother’s thigh and closes the coat. Leaving the raven displeased. Ardyn listened to the mixed views from everyone. Some were accepting of the Bond, others were hesitant, and the rest didn’t care in the least. Their father held a sour face. It was different for their mother; her face was unreadable as her eyes were now focused on them. It was once again the elder Omega who gave the final verdict, “I shall house them till their mating is over. For now, the family reunion will end.”
Many of the family members were willing to leave the situation, though not all were repulsed. For the ones who were, well that’s their issue to deal with. When it was only their parents and the elder woman, their father finally spoke up. “I will take my leave. Do as you please.”
The man briskly walks out of the house. Anyone can read that he was very displeased with this unexpected situation. Their mother calmly stands up and walks over to them. Noctis finally turns his attention away from Ardyn to his mother who caressed his head. “Take care of each other. Call me when it’s done. We can talk more later,” she smiles at them and leaves the house too.
The last to speak was Gran, “I’m leaving this place to you two. Ardyn, you know where the guest bedroom is. However, I do not carry the necessary things for this. You two figure this out on your own. I’m staying at a girl-friend’s house for the duration of this escapade.”
They listened as the elder walks around the house to collect her purse and keys. Noctis decides to tenderly kiss and lick at Ardyn’s neck as he waits. When the woman finally left the house with a click of the lock, Ardyn laces his fingers into short and spiky black hair. He tugs Noctis away from his neck and fervently locks his lips to redden, wet lips.
Fill: Ardyn/Noctis - A/B/O, 2/3
