Chapter Text
Neuvillette was aware that the Knave left his coat behind as a strategic move. It meant that he was expected to come back to Neuvillette to reclaim it. However Neuvillette didn’t want to play the waiting game with the harbinger and will be returning it to him swiftly.
Not wanting to risk anyone figuring out what had transpired between the harbinger and Iudex, Neuvillette would have to bring it back in person. Luckily enough his dear melusines had taken note of the coming and goings of the harbinger since he arrived.
Menthe was able to tell Neuvillette where the house of hearth base was, a small privately owned hotel just above the café.
In the dead of night with the coat stuffed into a garment bag Neuvillette made his move to return the coat to the harbinger and finally be done with him.
There was the off chance one of the children answered the door but he doubted they snoop in their Father’s personal effects.
However when he arrived the lights were dark and there was no answer. Luckily Menthe was patrolling around and told Neuvillette the house of hearth had moved.
“Moved?”
“They all packed up lightly and left, however Elphane said they all got on the aquabus for the navia line and went into Poisson.”
Strange indeed and threw a wrench in Neuvillette’s plans. He would draw even more attention if he went to poisson so he returned back to his townhome in the court with the coat. Dropping it across the back of the sofa while he grabbed a bottle of Inazuma Sakura spring water.
Neuvillette was curious why the Knave moved his children from their base but he shook his head of that, it wasn’t his business and if anything he should be glad that this could mean they were pulling out of Fontaine.
A glance over at the coat bag laying on the back of the couch.
Soon this chase will be over.

As much as Neuvillette wanted to deny another meeting the harbinger, the Knave reassured him it was strictly business only. When the Iudex noticed the traveler had accompanied the Knave it piqued his curiosity.
Wriothesley had brought a proposal for him to go over, the Knave and traveler sitting on the sofas while Neuvillette went over it. Wriothesley enjoying the tea that Sedene had provided.
The proposal Wriothesley brought was a curious one, he was requesting that any previous agents of the House of Hearth be pardoned of their crimes and allowed to live as normal citizens in the Court. Wriothseley left a detailed explanation at how that was possible, a potion the children would drink and erase all memories of their involvement in the Hearth effectively ‘killing’ the agent and leaving behind a normal civilian.
It was pretty genius, as how can one prosecute someone who had no memories of the crimes they committed and Neuvillette concluded the ones who wished to leave were done with the darkness from the house and Fatui.
Neuvillette agreed on the clause and Wriothesley politely left with the traveler. That would have been the perfect moment to return the coat but Neuviillette didn’t want the traveler finding out.
He’ll just have to wait for another chance to return the coat before Wriothesley corners him again to take it and more.

Neuvillette had been trying not to get home late, taking advice from the melusines to not stretch himself so thin after all that happened. However it was a learning curve for him to delegate tasks to others resulting in him coming home very late.
After he stepped inside Neuvillette knew something was wrong immediately.
The harbinger coat wasn’t draped over the back of the sofa like he left it.
Someone was in his home.
Neuvillette felt his hair bristle and teeth bare. Forgoing from turning on the lights to not alert the intruder of his presence. Neuvillette stepped further into his home, the hydro gathering in his palm ready to blast the intruder. While stepping more into his home there was the overbearing smell of…mint?
Suddenly there was a presence behind him but before Neuvillette could react a hand was slapped over his mouth and another hand constricting his throat.
“Welcome home doe~” Wriothesley purred in his ear.
Neuvillette snarled behind the hand covering his mouth, the harbinger had invaded his home, his territory, his nest! Neuvillette was ready to bite off one of Wriothesley’s fingers when the hand on his neck tightened to the point he wasn’t getting any air.
“Now now doe, why don’t you have a little rest.” Wriothesley squeezed tighter to suffocate Neuvillette, the dragon dragged his claws across Wriothesley’s arms ripping the taping and drawing blood but soon enough his vision went dark…
When Neuvillette came to he realized he was in his bed and something warm was covering him. The last thing Neuvillette remembered was the Knave in his house and-
Neuvillette sat up and the material draped over him pooled at his waist, then the chill hit him and Neuvillette looked down at himself and realized he’s been stripped of all his clothing! There could only be one person behind all of this.
“Did you have a nice nap?”
Neuvillette gaze snapped over to the chair pulled close to his bed that was occupied by the harbinger.
“What is the meaning of all of this?” Neuvillette hissed, if it wasn’t for the diplomatic immunity Wriothesley had he would have been a smear on the wall.
“Couldn’t wait on you forever to return my coat.”
Neuvillette kept himself from balking, if anyone was being difficult it was Wriothesley!
“I’m not the one who put myself here in your coat.”
“You do look good in it, and only it.” Wriothesley smirked.
Neuvillette was ready to rip the coat up at this point, it has become the bane of his existence.
“I hardly believe you broke into a powerful figure’s home simply to retrieve a coat.” Even if he hated the coat it was the only thing covering him so Neuvillette pulled it more around himself to preserve his modesty.
“Correct, I’m here for my parting gift. I’ve been summoned to Snezhnaya for input on a project and my lingering work in Fontaine has come to a close thanks to you.”
Right, the contract.
“And this parting gift, am I safe to assume it’s me?”
“You be right, doe.”
Neuvillette curled his lip up and snarled lowly. “I’m not a doe.”
“Sure you are.” Wriothesley pushed off the chair. “I know you could have easily dealt with me. You’re still sweet smelling, has your heat not passed or just started?”
Neuvillette pulled the coat closer around himself when the harbinger got close, using it as his last line of defense. Under the coat he was pressing his thighs close to prevent Wriothesley from picking up his scent.
Of course after their last encounter his body was even more demanding to fall into a heat and have the strong harbinger take care of him but Neuvillette was not going to succumb. Neuvillette couldn’t let this harbinger get the best of him again. Because if he did give himself over to Wriothesley again there would be no stopping himself from entering a heat.
Neuvillette scooted more up the bed when Wriothesley placed his hands and one knee on the edge to start crawling after Neuvillette like a hound on his prey.
“Come now doe, you enjoyed me so much last time.” One hand grabbed Neuvillette’s ankle before using impressive strength to pull Neuvillette towards him. Neuvillette had tried to kick his leg out of Wriothesley’s grip but instead it threw him off balance enough that the harbinger easily pulled him into the center of the bed. The coat hiked up exposing Neuvillette’s lower half and before Neuvillette could close his thighs the Knave slotted himself between them.
Neuvillette tried to get away but Wriothesley grabbed his wrists and pinned them with one hand effectively keeping the hydro dragon in place.
“For an elemental dragon you sure are compliant.” Wriothesley purred looking down at his pinned prey.
“The only thing keeping your head on your shoulders is your diplomatic immunity.”
Wriothesley chuckled to himself internally, guessing Neuvillette was unaware of the full details about the death of the eighth harbinger. The electro archon herself executed her, but Signora did lose to a battle and betted her life and per Inazuma laws…
No matter, Neuvillette didn’t need to know that ever the Tsarista’s ‘favorites’ didn’t get special treatment.
“Here I was thinking by doing this we were making our diplomatic bond stronger?” Wriothesley’s hand smoothed up and down Neuvillette’s bare thigh.
“What I want is for you to leave Fontaine and never return.”
“Oh, you wound me mighty Iudex, I thought we had something special.” Wriothesley gave him a tiny pout before it morphed into an evil smile. The harbinger leaned in close to begin kissing and biting at Neuvillette’s neck.
Neuvillette bit his lip to keep any noises from slipping out as the harbinger attacked one of his more sensitive spots. But Wriothesley has memorized every spot that pulled sweet noises from Neuvillette.
A small bite to a pulse point and Neuvillette couldn’t stop the moan that escaped.
“That’s it, mewl for me doe.”
Next thing Neuvillette knew two fingers were shoved into his moist center. The surprise breach of fingers inside of him caused Neuvillette to let out a choke moan and arch off the bed but he was kept in place by the harbinger’s impressive strength still holding his wrists tight. There was a slight burn from the stretch but Neuvillette’s body responded to the penetration by making him even wetter. It was mortifying how his body was betraying him in this moment as now the lewd squelching sounds of the fingers moving in and out of him echoed off the walls.
“Ah!”
Neuvillette tried to break free but his efforts were thwarted when Wriothesly’s thumb brushed over his clit.
All the squirming around made the coat fall more off of Neuvillette until it wasn’t covering his body anymore giving Wriothesley full view of the Iudex’s beautiful form. The harbinger licked his lips before he leaned in and his mouth closed around one of Neuvillette’s nipples, right when he pushed in a third finger.
“Ah! Ah- too m-much!” Neuvillette tried to buck Wriothesley off but that just made the fingers inside him push deeper. Neuvillette can feel his mind begin to stray along with his body heating up, no he must not succumb to a heat!
However the harbinger was doing a good job at picking away his resolve, rolling his nipple between sharp teeth while expert fingers played with him. Neuvillette could feel that build up of pleasure starting to grow more and more, he had to fight it off as long as he could-
Then suddenly it all stopped.
The mouth on his chest, the fingers inside of him all pulled away along with the hand holding his wrists together.
“Wha?” Neuvillette was confused, he was right there on the brink and Wriothesley stopped.
The Harbinger sat on his knees as he undid the wrappings around his arms and hands, leaving Neuvillette panting on the coat.
“Don’t be disappointed, doe.” Tossing the bindings away along with his tie as Wriothesley pulled his shirt over his head. “I plan to have you only cumming on my cock.”
Neuvillette should gather up his hydro and blast the harbinger straight out of his room. But before he could react Wriothesley grabbed him by the hips and pulled Neuvillette against his thighs, a bulge felt in the harbinger’s pants.
Holding back a keen feeling the hardness against his center and it being blocked by the material of the pants Neuvillette averted his gaze.
“Patience doe.”
Neuvillette felt his cheeks flushed from the term, it was…disrespectful in a way. Like he was just this prey for the harbinger to do as he pleased when he was the apex predator in the room. However this harbinger was making him feel small and tense like a cornered doe…
Neuvillette snapped out of his thoughts when he felt Wriothesley cock rub against his dripping wet center, unaware the harbinger had pulled it out of his pants.
“You’re smelling so much sweeter~” Wriothesley purred as he slicked his cock with Neuvillette’s juices. Neuvillette desperately wanted to know why Wriothesley had a keen sense of smell than normal humans, and why he couldn’t scent the harbinger now.
There must have been a look on his face since Wriothesley let out a chuckle. “What's on your mind, doe?”
Neuvillete hardly thought this was the time to have a civil conversation. “You don’t have a- ah!” A moan slipped out when Wriothesley casually pushed inside the Iudex, sheathing all the way inside.
“I don’t have a what, doe?”
“Mmmh.” Neuvillette bit his lip, body betraying him again as it welcomed Wriothesley back. “A s-scent anymore.”
“A little trick.” Wriothesley started to slowly rock his hips in and out of Neuvillette, this pace more akin to making love… “Masked it with mint, I couldn’t have you finding me before I could surprise you.”
Neuvillette’s hands reached out and clung to Wriothesley’s shoulders, nail biting into the harbinger’s skin. This slow pace was actually killing him, it wasn’t the speed his body craved right now. But he couldn’t let the harbinger know he wanted it hard and fast, if he can survive this tender pace it most likely won’t trigger his heat.
“Still feel as good as last time.” Wriothesley whispered in Neuvillette’s ear, pressing deeper inside Neuvillette on a thrust, enjoying the muffled mewl from the Iudex.
“S-shut up.”
“Oh a little bite, I like it.” A harder thrust into Neuvillette.
Neuvillette threw his head back when that thrust aimed at a spot that made pleasure race up his spine. It was too late to hide reactions as Wriothesley kept aiming for that spot at a steady pace. Which just kept edging Neuvillette at this point, a tease for what he really could be receiving.
“You seem a little frustrated, doe.” Wriothesley’s hands found Neuvillette’s chest, starting to massage the pecs and thumb at the sensitive nipples. “Is the heat still bothering you?”
Neuvillette’s nails dug harder into Wriothesley’s skin, not breaking it just yet. Muffled moan when Wriothesley’s fingers pinched a nipple. His resolve was slowly being whittled away more and more Wriothesley picked him apart.
The harbinger’s mouth latched onto Neuvillette’s neck while wrapping sturdy arms around the Iudex holding him in place as he increased the pace. Now Neuvillette was drawing blood from Wriothesley, feeling that pleasure starting to finally build as his mind was getting a little hazy, body ready to fall completely into heat.
If he can just get the harbinger to cum and leave the Iudex will be in the clear and can spend the next miserable few days dealing with his heat alone.
However it was hard to hide what his body wanted from someone like Wriothesley.
The harbinger had been locked onto Neuvillette’s sweet scent ever since their last encounter in the office. It was all that was on his mind night and day, his inner instincts howling at him to mark and claim.
Neuvillette scratched his nails across Wriothesley’s shoulders making more marks, it seemed the pain was welcomed since the harbinger moaned right in Neuvillette’s ear.
Just a little longer and it will all be over.
Neuvillette’s eyes snapped open when he felt the swelling at the base of Wriothesley’s cock!
How could he have forgotten about the knot?! No no no no no! This needs to stop now because if it goes inside Neuvillette there will be no stopping him succumbing to his heat.
Neuvillette opened his mouth to command the harbinger to stop but his mouth was silenced by Wriothesley. The Knave’s tongue pushed into Neuvillette’s mouth, keeping the words muffled as the harbinger appeared to be devouring the Iudex’s mouth.
Wriothesley increased his pace, the wet squelching echoing off the walls along with Neuvillette muffled sounds. Neuvillette tried to push Wriothesley off but it was no use, he was succumbing and the fight was starting to leave his body, replaced by pure pleasure.
Wriothesley kept thrusting hard and fast, his knot bullying its way until finally it popped into Neuvillette who screamed behind the harbinger’s mouth. Wriothesley smirked behind the kiss as he rutted more and more into the Iudex feeling that impressive tightness around his cock milking him for all he had. Finally the cord of pleasure snapped and Wriothesley emptied inside of Neuvillette. It was a heavier load than before some was even leaking out despite the knot plugging the Iudex up.
The harbinger wetly pulled away from the kiss, sitting back as much as he could while tied to Neuvillette, running a hand through his sweaty hair he took notice of Neuvillette in the dim lighting.
“Oh, why that is a pretty look you have Iudex Neuvillette~”
The hydro dragon was completely debauched and flushed down to his chest, twitching from his intense orgasm, tongue hanging out as he muttered.
“More, more more please….please breed me~”
Wriothesley smirked, he sent the dragon into heat.
