Chapter Text
Noli liked giving out kisses. The man was far more affectionate with Seven but that was no fault of his own, 1x might enjoy affection but not nearly as much as 7n7 appeared to.
Noli would pepper the man’s face in kisses, tail wagging with excitement as the other broke into giggles under him, trying weakly to push him away so he could focus on whatever task he was doing that Noli declared not nearly as important as kissing 7n7 silly. His own tail wagging just as much if not more than Noli’s.
It was sickly adorable.
He wanted to try it.
And that’s what he was thinking about now. Laying on the couch with Noli on top of him, cuddling. Noli had been the one to ask, and he agreed, it was kind of like a blanket the way Noli lounged on top of him.
It was ridiculous, but warm so they allowed it.
They were just cuddling quietly, 1x suspecting Noli was hoping to hear more of his purring, but they all had realized that wasn’t something that happened often.
Probably for the best, if 1x went around rumbling at every little thing that made them happy they would actually consider ripping out their throat.
But that wasn’t the focus right now. Instead, 1x broke the comfortable silence with a question.
“Noli, you know that thing you do with Seven?” He asked, Noli hummed in acknowledgment.
“Which one? I do a lot with him?” He sat up a bit, listening. 1x grumbled a bit but continued.
“The thing where you… kiss him a lot. Can… I would like to try that” Heights, they felt silly asking for this, but Noli didn’t react in judgement, instead he looked curious.
“You want me to give you butterfly kisses?” Noli asked, voice even as he tilted his head, but clearly he was eager since his tail started to wag. He at least tried to not look about ready to pounce.
“…if that’s what you’d call it then yes”
As soon as they confirmed they felt Noli gently cup their cheeks with his hands, “as you command, my prince~”
1x didn’t even get the chance to comment on the nickname before he was leaning in. And then Noli was kissing him, his cheeks, his hair, his forehead, anything the mortal void could get his mouth on.
Each kiss felt electric. A pinprick of heat that didn’t linger long enough to be processed before another part of his face was assaulted. It wasn’t the lingering warmth of a soft kiss, leaving behind a lingering buzz of affection that made them crave more, this was like sensory assault. Each little kiss peppered with affection that made them flush deeper and deeper.
It was overwhelming in its warmth, a gradual buildup that made him want to squirm away yet also cling tighter to more.
Too much yet not enough, their feathers fluffed and face flushed, and still Noli kissed and kissed and kissed.
They couldn’t take it. In an impulsive move 1x shot her arms out and grabbed Noli in a tight hug, startling him out of his barrage of kisses.
“Woah hey!” He exclaimed but 1x wasn’t listening, already nuzzling his face into him, squeezing him tight as an unwilling purr broke free from his throat.
They felt floaty, their whole being buzzing with the overwhelming affection, if they had a tail like their partners surly it would be wagging like crazy.
She didn’t even register Noli’s slight squirming in her iron grip, just completely absorbed in the ecstasy of affection. He didn’t even notice when his eyes slid closed and their body fell into a cozy, affection filled sleep.
They just felt warm and adored.
~
So.
Noli was trapped.
1x’s reaction to the overwhelming affection was adorable really, it was like he didn’t even know how to handle it! Unfortunately that’s probably what led to the current situation.
He had Noli trapped in a cast iron hug that no amount of squirming seemed to ease. If anything, if he moved too much 1x, who looked to have fallen into some sort of love-fueled power nap, would make a whining noise and squeeze tighter.
It was really cute, but Noli likes his freedom! Especially if it meant his limbs didn’t fall asleep!
But 1x was making those adorable deep rumbly purrs that they so rarely graced him with that Noli almost couldn’t bring himself to free himself.
…though even if he wanted to, he was very definitely stuck. And frankly he didn’t want to try and wake them up.
Maybe he overdid it a bit. But 1x said she wanted butterfly kisses! So of course Noli had to kiss her silly!
He heard footsteps and knew that Sev was passing by, and as quietly as he could he wiggled to try and get his attention.
“Sev!” He hissed, “Sev help!” Thankfully the man looked over. Unthankfully he looked to cover his mouth to hide a snort.
“What’d you do?” Seven was poorly hiding his giggles behind his hand,
“They wanted butterfly kisses so I was like ‘okay bet’ and then they grabbed me and won’t let go and I think he’s asleep”
And, with almost comedic timing. 1x started up another round of those deep rumbly purrs. Both looked at her for a moment, Sev smiling softly.
“I think they’re happy” he hummed, leaning over to tuck a strand of snow white hair behind 1x’s ear. They leaned into the touch briefly before settling, the rumbling growing in volume a bit.
“I’m serious though, I’m stuck” Noli whined.
“Can’t you just teleport out?” Sev asked, to which Noli gestured to the lack of crown on his head.
“VoidStar’s on the dresser, harder to teleport without it. Besides I think if I tried they’d squeeze the life out of me”
“Ah, well I have to head to work so I don’t really have time to grab the crowbar…” 7n7 rubbed his neck, smiling to himself at the joke. He did at least look apologetically at Noli despite that.
Noli just sighed.
“Guess I’m stuck in a cozy prison for however long he sleeps.” He huffs, flopping back onto 1x and just accepting his affectionate fate.
“Want the tv remote?” Sev’s tail flicks
“…yeah actually” his own flicks in kind.
So Seven went over to the coffee table and grabbed the tv remote, handing it over to Noli before leaning over to give him a kiss.
“I’ll be back in a few hours, If you’re still stuck I’ll help jailbreak you” he smiled into the kiss.
“You’re the best Sev~”
Before going, 7n7 leaned over and pressed a soft kiss on 1x’s head as well, being rewarded with more of those sleepy purrs before he pulled away to go head to work.
Coolkidd was at school, so it was just Noli and 1x, trapped on the couch with not much to do until the creation of hatred wakes up and frees him.
At least the tv can be muted and display subtitles.
So he settled in for however long 1x decided to hold him hostage.
At least they were pleasantly warm.
~
Time passed, and 1x eventually stirred awake, blinking crimson eyes open, they saw Noli had pulled up his Void.gui and was playing what looked suspiciously like pong on the device.
He glances over when he hears movement, and smiles at 1x teasingly.
“Good morning sunshine~ have a nice nap?”
1x blinked, the sleepy haze muting his memory of what he was doing before. Not quite remembering why he was hugging Noli so tightly…
Until the memory resurfaced and they blushed brightly. They let go of Noli like he burnt them, though the godling didn’t make any move to get up just yet.
“That wasn’t supposed to happen-“ he grumbles, Heights that was embarrassing, they acted without thinking, how’d they get so overwhelmed from positive attention they passed out?
“If kissing you makes you that happy maybe Sev and I should kiss you silly more often” Noli lovingly teased, giggling at the foe glare 1x shot him. “Or maybe we just stick to regular butterfly kisses, hm?” Noli pressed another light kiss against their cheek, and 1x flushed behind the glare.
He groaned, looking away, noting the tv was muted and displaying the subtitles to some sort of trashy soap opera.
“Want to stay like this or want me to get up?” Noli asks, despite literally being trapped he had made himself comfortable. It was probably just the lack of freedom that got to him. 1x looked to consider it for a moment. Before grumbling.
“Get off of me.”
“Righty-o” and so he did, quickly but carefully pushing himself back into the edge of the couch, so 1x could swing her legs over and sit up, stretching soon after.
“So… verdict on butterfly kisses?” Noli leans over, asking with a slight tilt of his head.
“…they’re acceptable” 1x answers, looking away but not enough for Noli to miss the flush on her face.
“Great! Sev loves those too, he absolutely melts! Glad to know he won’t be the only one~”
1x cannot take this embarrassment anymore, lightly shoving Noli away who responded with a delighted cackle
“Aaanyways, you’ve got to see this. The female lead is going through it because it turns out her fiancé is having an affair with her twin sister, who’s also secretly her online mmo gaming rival. It sucks!” Noli is still smiling anyway, 1x does not understand the appeal in these sort of drama shows.
“Will there be a fight to the death?” She asks,
“At this point? I hope so. I hope she does a kick flip, I hope she knocks her teeth in”
She did not in fact do that. The drama was trashy and terrible and frankly would have been a waist of his time if not for Noli leaning against his side and providing colorful commentary about the writing quality.
This was a much more manageable level of warmth.
