In the past few years, people in some places report that they often see strange creatures that are beyond human understanding. Some are offshoots of rare or extinct animals, some are human-animal hybrids, some are not even within the range of humans or animals. The creatures found have friendly attitudes and are not dangerous, but there are some that are very aggressive and dangerous. That is why an organization has been formed in secret under the protection of the government to capture these creatures, to prevent them from harming humans… Time: 7:47 p.m. In Area E, where creatures of class B and above are kept, considered dangerous to humans. You are one of the staff here, in charge of delivering food and writing a daily report about the creatures in E.As usual, you will have to deliver food to Gio, a monster was only discovered and arrested not long ago. Well, he's not exactly a monster, Gio tends to be more human but he's still in the dangerous creature category… so you still need to pay attention to keeping your distance from him. The hard iron door is opened, leading you inside the room. There was a very thick and sturdy layer of bulletproof glass placed in the room, where Gio was locked inside. When you step inside, Gio moves his gaze towards you and stares at you and the tray of food. He walks over to the glass separating you and him and then punches the glass hard, he roars, his expression is very aggressive… but then he gets hungry and obediently sits down like a puppy waiting for food. “…”
Marcus couldn't help but chuckle; he found the monster's sudden attitude adorable, despite his appearance. He bent down slightly, without taking his eyes off the man on the other side of the glass, and carefully slid the food under a small gap. "Here you go," he said softly with a smile. "I hope you enjoy it."
Gio growled softly as he glanced at the tray, his eyes sparkling hungrily with anticipation. He carefully picked up each item on the tray and smelled it before putting them back where they were, finally taking a bite of what seemed to be his favorite food. As he ate, he couldn't help but feel a pang of longing for fresh meat, blood dripping from his mouth... But for now, this would have to do. He finished eating quickly and licked his lips clean, eyeing Marcus curiously. "Is that all?" he asked gruffly through the glass. "I'm not done playing yet..." His dark eyes sparkled with mischief.
Marcus sat down, right in front of the glass, eye level with the monster on the other side. "Well..." He looked at his things. "...they only gave me a tray of food for you..." He looked back at the monster. "Sorry, I guess...I wish I could give you more..." He said, somewhat discouraged but still smiling.
Gio huffed and crossed his arms over his broad chest; pale skin stretching tightly across the defined muscles beneath. His expression turned sour, brow furrowed as he pouted a bit. "Then... can I at least play with you?" He asked softly, hesitantly reaching a hand out toward Marcus through the gap between the glass and metal bars. Despite his size and strength, there was an almost childlike innocence to the gesture.
"Mmm..." Marcus hesitated for a moment, staring at the wall separating them. "Sure..." He looked back at the monster. "...what would you like to play?" he said with a warm smile.
Gio returned the smile, eyes sparkling with hope and anticipation. "Can we... wrestle?" He asked slowly, tilting his head to the side as he watched Marcus' reaction carefully. "Just a little? I promise not to hurt you..." His voice trailed off, sounding almost pleading. "And," he added quickly, "if I win, can we... cuddle after?" His rough voice came out surprisingly soft and plaintive, making the last word hang in the air between them.
"Well... sure," Marcus said with another smile. "We can try that..." He hesitated briefly, glancing at the control panel to make sure it was in order, then undid the latch on his side of the glass door. Standing up, he stepped away from it as it slid open, revealing a small training area just inside. "But remember... no biting!" he added with a chuckle, stepping into the room.
Gio eagerly bounded forward, his rough hands gripping the edges of the glass door as he leaned in close to Marcus. A wide grin spread across his dark features and his onyx eyes flashed with mischief. "Alright then," he growled low in his throat, chest heaving slightly with anticipation. "Let's see who wins." He released the glass door, stepping back just far enough to give them some space before launching himself at Marcus with surprising speed and agility for such a large creature.
They tumbled across the room, grunting and laughing as they wrestled roughly yet playfully. It was clear that Gio had the advantage in strength and size, but Marcus' quickness and flexibility kept him from being easily pinned down. The monster was aggressive but gentle with you didn't seem to mind losing; he seemed more concerned with making sure Marcus had fun than actually winning. As they continued to wrestle, sweat and laughter mingled together as the air filled with their musky scent, making it harder for either of them to control themselves.
Eventually, Gio managed to pin Marcus to the ground with a growl of triumph... only for his grip to slacken almost immediately at the other man's yelp of protest. He blushed and quickly released him. "S-sorry," he mumbled, scrambling backward until his shoulders hit the far wall. A pink tint stained his pale cheeks as he ducked his head, breathing hard through his nose.
Marcus regarded the much larger creature for a moment before grinning sheepishly and offering him a hand up. "It's okay," he said with a chuckle. "You won, remember?" He felt an odd thrill course through him at
Marcus stood up with slight difficulty. He smiled at the monster and opened his arms. "So...you're going to want your hug?" he said with a chuckle.
"Mmm..." Gio growled softly in response before slowly climbing to his feet, his large tail swishing lazily behind him. Once he was upright, the monster wrapped his massive arms around Marcus' smaller frame and pressed their bodies together, breathing deeply of his scent. Heat flared through his chest as he felt himself grow hard against Marcus' back. "Thank you," he rumbled hoarsely before pulling back slightly to peer at him with heavy-lidded eyes.
A frown marred his features as he realized how close their faces were now... It was difficult for him not to lean in and taste the soft skin of Marcus' neck, feel those perfect lips against his own. His brow furrowed further as a twinge of jealousy flared up inside him; why did all these other people want Marcus, too? He should be the only one!
Snorting harshly, the monster shook his head violently as if to clear it. "I... I think..." he trailed off, stepping back awkwardly. "...I'm thirsty." He eyed Marcus warily, wondering how the other man would react to this sudden change in topic.
"Well," Marcus began, stepping back as well and looking at the monster curiously. "I could get you some water if that'd help..." He looked at Gio questioningly, unsure of what had caused him to suddenly pull away and change the subject so abruptly.
Gio glanced away uncomfortably and started to pace back and forth in front of the room's glass door, his hands clasped tightly behind his back as if he was trying to keep them under control. "Y-yes... I suppose some water would be nice..." He forced a nervous chuckle, meeting Marcus' gaze briefly before looking away again, focusing intently on the metal bars separating them from each other.
His tail thrashed wildly behind him, slamming against the walls and floor with enough force to make small clouds of dust rise up into the air. "I... I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable earlier," he mumbled, still not daring to look at Marcus directly. "I didn't mean to..." His rough voice sounded pained as he struggled with whatever emotions were welling up inside him at that moment.
"It's alright," Marcus replied with a soft smile. "I understand... we're just two guys here, enjoying some playtime and I think that's nice..." He walked over to the control panel, making sure everything was still in order before opening the door for Gio to have access to some water.
Gio glanced back at Marcus, noticing the open door and understanding what it meant. With a grateful nod, he hurried over to the sink and lowered his head so that he could take long, deep gulps of cool water from the faucet. His rough hands splashed in the basin beside him, washing off the sweat and dirt that had accumulated during their brief but intense wrestling match.
As he drank, he tried to convince himself that what he felt for Marcus wasn't real, that it was just a product of being close to someone else like him, but deep down, he knew otherwise. Every time his eyes met the other man's, every time he heard Marcus laugh or saw the way he moved... it all served as a reminder of just how strong these feelings were and how much they threatened to overwhelm him if he didn't keep them in check.
When he finally finished drinking, Gio turned back toward Marcus, hesitating for a moment before speaking up again. "Do you... do you want to play another game?" He asked quietly, his voice barely audible above the hum of the fluorescent lights overhead.
