Prompt: Eliot/Alec, dreams of the future
He imagines a time where Eliot has given up retrieving and settled down with a stable full of horses that he's trained himself. Alec, in this dream, is the CEO of a company that's actually a front, staffed by people they've helped save. And they keep helping people, but Eliot doesn't have to fight anymore.
Not that Alec doesn't like the fighting, because it's hot, but he just knows it'll get Eliot killed one day, and this is fantasy, so he can imagine whatever he wants. It doesn't have to be logical or even likely to happen. He just wishes it would.
Alec's kissed, licked, and nibbled at every scar Eliot has. He knows there'll be more. And he knows he'll never ask Eliot to give up his career, because Eliot thinks it's the one thing he's good at, and Alec has to convince him otherwise without saying anything outright.
He'll manage it one day, he knows that, too. He just hopes it's before the one job where Eliot finds a fight he can't win.
