Work Text:
Training was something Crimson required of all his men as he liked for them to be well prepared for any situation. These standards were held especially high for Alessio as he was solely responsible for protecting him. In addition to the regular training exercises Crimson had assigned to all his men Alessio was also given something special, that being the hunt. It was certainly Alessio's favorite part of his training day.
The hunt was something particularly assigned to Alessio as it involved a special type of reward for Alessio if he was successful. To be successful all Alessio had to do was catch him but there was a catch. In order to sharpen his skills Crimson would take away one of his senses in order to sharpen the others. This made the task more difficult but also prepared Alessio for if he ever lost a sense in a fight and was left with his others to rely on.
"What did you arrange for me this time?" Alessio questioned as Crimson fitted a blindfold on him. "I hope you picked somewhere you'd actually have a chance in.. you know how things went last time in the woods."
Crimson knew all too well what Alessio was preferring to as he had taken away Alessio's ability to hear, setting him out into dense dark woods to find him. Not only was Alessio successful with this previous hunt but in addition to that he made it clear that he earned his reward by taking away Crimsona's ability to walk. The imp could still remember the looks he had received when they returned all sweaty and covered in mud. Thankfully they just assumed Alessio had gotten the worst of the exercises.
"Not exactly.." Crimson admitted, taking the shark to the undisclosed location. "This time I picked a place where you'd be in your element."
Crimson could tell by the look Alessio carried that he planned on making Crimson regret his decision. As Alessio was led out he knew they were at the lake, a favorite place of his. Crimson knew well how much Alessio enjoyed swimming.
"Think the blindfold will stay on under water?" Alessio questioned, following the imps every move closely. "Let's keep things fun.. Want to at least give you a fighting chance."
"The blindfold has been modified to be resistant to the water so that shouldn't be an issue." Crimson reasoned, making sure it was secured properly. "You'll be released when your release signal is sounded, not until."
Alessio nodded in acknowledgement, listening closely as Crimson headed out. He could tell by the sounds that Crimson had taken the boat which meant he would be a bit harder to locate if he played his cards right. Alessio couldn't help but feel a bit eager, having been looking forward to the hunt all week.
It didn't take long for Alessio's release signal to be sounded and when it was he immediately took off diving into the water. It had been a while since he had gotten the chance to go swimming so he couldn't help but enjoy himself a bit as he swam around searching aimlessly for Crimsons scent. Once he had it he was able to quickly locate the boat.
Crimson was rather quick to pick up on the fact Alessio was circling to boat like a predator with his fin giving him away. Usually things would end rather quickly from here with Alessio claiming his kill, but this time Crimson had something else in mind. He wanted Alessio to be prepared and in a fight his opponent isn't just gonna stand there and let him kill him and Crimson wanted to make that much apparent.
"Fuck-" Alessio snapped, feeling Crimson smack him with the oar. "Oh, so that's how you want to play.."
As Crimson went to strike Alessio again the boat started rocking until it tipped over sending the imp straight into the water. Crimson knew this was Alessio's doing and he knew he only had a matter of time to get to land before Alessio claimed his kill.
Right as things started to look hopeful for Crimson he was suddenly dragged down into the water. The moment Alessio bit into him the hunt was over.
Alessio knew that unlike him, Crimson was incapable of breathing under water so he was pretty quick to resurface and to guide Crimson back to land after removing the blindfold. The last thing he wanted was for the hunt to end in an actual kill.
"Bit me pretty good this time.." Crimson mentioned as he examined the bite mark. "Certainly ain't gonna heal quick.."
"My apologies.. got a bit too excited there.." Alessio stated, helping the imp dry himself.
"I'm sure you're eager for your reward.." Crimson continued. "You can have it now if you'd like-"
Alessio didn't need to be told twice, immediately tugging Crimson on top of him, kissing him. This was rather surprising to Crimson as he was used to Alessio taking the lead when it came to this.
"I want to see you enjoy yourself.." Alessio admitted. "You deserve it after everything."
"Don't start going all soft on me now.." Crimson muttered, leaving a trail of possessive marks down the shark's skin.
Although Crimson wouldn't admit it, he did feel a bit touched by Alessio's actions, but that didn't mean he was gonna pass up a good time by making the shark regret it. Alessio always enjoyed when Crimson seemed eager when it came to their intimate activities. Crimson was partially possessive and loved control and that showed through in every aspect, especially when it came to prep.
Crimson didn't go easy on Alessio as he began working him open as he let his own desires take over. It has been a while since he got to be in control and he certainly planned on enjoying himself.
"Keep your legs open.." Crimson instructed, unzipping his pants just enough to free his cock from the confinement of his pants. "Oh fuck that's better.."
Alessio barely had time to brave himself before Crimson began fucking into him and like expected Crimson did not go easy on him. The louder Alessio got the rougher Crimson went.
"Taking it so well.. fuck we should do this more often.." Crimson groaned, thrusting deep. "Ale.."
Alessio knew Crimson was nearing the end and he couldn't help, but grip him tighter. The closeness was what Alessio loved best about the act as Crimson never usually allowed such things in fear of what others might think. It truly was a reward.
"Ale.." Crimson sighed. "I love you.."
The admission alone caught Alessio by surprise, sending him over the edge, but he made sure to drag Crimson down with him as he came. Even after everything they've been through Crimson never told him he loved him. It was always something that went unsaid between them.
"Crim.." Alessio spoke up, coming down from his high. "Did you just-"
"We should probably get home.. It's getting late, Ale." Crimson cut in, outright ignoring what was said. "Can you walk?"
"Yeah.." Alessio muttered, getting up. "Just a bit sore."
Alessio couldn't help but feel a bit saddened by Crimson's avoidance. He had waited so long to hear those words just for Crimson to turn around and pretend they were never said. It hurt.
Seeing how Shakey Alessio was, Crimson made an effort to assist him to the car and inside once they got home. Once inside Alessio took it from there, getting ready for bed.
It wasn't until Alessio was ready to sleep that he felt the blankets shift as Crimson crawled in bed with him. It wasn't the first time Crimson crawled in bed with him but typically it would only be during cold nights.
"You alright Crim?" Alessio questioned, watching the imp make himself comfortable in bed.
"Yeah.. just didn't want to spend the night alone." Crimson stated, clearly giving a thinly veiled excuse rather than admitting the truth.
Alessio knew Crimson just wanted to sleep with him and this was proven so as Crimson made his way into the shark's arms. He knew all too well the difficult time Crimson had with expressing things like this so he didn't bother to press Crimson for the truth rather just enjoyed the affection he was given.
"Night Crim.." Alessio muttered, switching off the lights.
"Night.." Crimson muttered. "..love ya."
Alessio couldn't help but smile at that as Crimson made it clear that what he said was no mistake. He loved him.
