A/N: There's gonna be two more main story chapters!
Arthur woke groggily the next morning, still a little hazy from the night before as he glanced up at Alfred. Watching him for a few moments, Arthur then gave a soft smile and shuffled closer to him, sighing contentedly as he cuddled up to the merman.
Snorting softly, Alfred wrapped his arms more tightly around Arthur's body and snuggled back. He was still asleep, but conscious enough to feel the cuddling.
Arthur chuckled softly and leaned into it, giving Alfred a small squeeze back and burying his nose in the other's skin. He hummed pleasantly as he recalled the previous night, a tingling sensation still lingering on his skin from it.
"Mmm.." Alfred stirred moments later. "Artie?" His eyes fluttered open and he blinked before burying his nose in Arthur's hair.
"Mm, morning," Arthur mumbled back, smile growing as he snuggled into the merman.
"Are you okay?" Alfred kissed his neck. "Was it good?"
Smiling softly, Arthur gave a reassuring squeeze. "I'm fine, Alfred. And yes," he murmured, pecking the skin beneath his lips. "It was... Very good."
"I'm glad," Alfred breathed. He shifted and, upon realizing that there was no other movement from below, figured that his cock had slipped back into its slit. "Can... Can we cuddle more?"
"I had no intention of stopping," Arthur said, further tightening his hold on Alfred.
"Ah, well that's good!" Alfred purred happily and squeezed him even tighter.
Chuckling, Arthur agreed and snuggled to the merman, his arms and legs still tangled around him, and sighed happily when settled. "Mm... What about you? Was it... Was it good?"
"Yeah, it was really good!" Alfred told him. He let out his own happy breath and closed his eyes again.
Arthur hid a soft smile in Alfred's skin. "I'm glad..." he murmured.
Soon after that, Alfred finally moved, wincing when the dried mess from last night crackled on their stomachs. "It's uncomfortable," he whined softly.
Arthur blinked, then chuckled gently, stroking Alfred's cheek with his thumb. "Let's clean you up, hm? And then we can get some breakfast," he said quietly.
The merman leaned into the touch and nuzzled him. "Yeah, let's do that..."
"All right." Smiling, Arthur pulled away from Alfred a little to sit up, looking around for the sponge he'd used the day before.
"Aaaaaaa!" Alfred groaned more and flopped to the ground, waiting to be washed.
Laughing a little more, Arthur tilted his head at the other as he searched for the sponge. "What is it, hm?'
"It feels weird!" Alfred repeated. "Aaaaaaa!" Despite the feeling he wriggled, wanting Arthur to laugh like that again.
Arthur softly laughed more, an amused smile crossing his face. "Yes, yes, I have it too you know. I'll clean it, yes?"
"Yeah, clean it, please!" Alfred shuffled closer to him.
"Yes, yes," Arthur said, smiling gently before wetting the sponge and running it over Alfred's stomach.
"Ooh!" Alfred shivered at the touch and leaned into it. "I'll clean you off later!"
"All right," Arthur replied, wiping the spot more and then pressing a kiss to the now-clean skin.
A squeak rose from Alfred's mouth at the kiss, and he smiled. "Do that more!"
Chuckling, Arthur kissed all over Alfred's stomach and chest.
"More!" Alfred cried, wriggling and writhing in pleasure.
"Heh, how demanding," Arthur teased, kissing once more, before an evil glint entered his eye. The next moment, he placed his lips on Alfred's stomach and blew a raspberry.
A surprised wail sounded from Alfred's throat, and he writhed more. His tail whipped through the air and his back arched. "Artieeee!"
Bursting out laughing, Arthur grinned up at the merman cheekily. "Hm?"
"You meanie!" Alfred pouted.
"Heheh, how am I?"
"Because you did that!"
Arthur chuckled a little, then kisses Alfred's stomach once more. "Come and wash mine, then?"
"Fine, I guess I can..." Alfred took up the sponge. "Lay down."
Smiling a little at the other, Arthur lay back, looking up at him.
Dipping the sponge in water, Alfred gently brought it to Arthur's skin and started washing him. His eyes were glued to the pale torso underneath him, and there was a small smile on his face. "Artie..."
Arthur tilted his head and, not wanting to ruin the moment, quietly responded with a questioning hum.
"You're pretty," Alfred murmured to him, seemingly hypnotized by the motions of the sponge on skin.
Arthur blinked softly, almost about to huff - but Alfred was only complimenting him after all, so instead he let a small smile warm to his face. "...You think so?"
"Yeah, I do." Alfred smiled down at him brightly and moved to kiss the abs.
Sighing gently, Arthur's own smile grew, and he stroked the merman's hair, watching him.
Alfred's eyes were glued to Arthur's as he kissed all around the Brit's stomach. "You're so pretty..." he purred, moving his kisses upwards. But then he froze when he saw his bite mark. It wasn't like any of the other 'hickeys' he'd seen- it was angrier, redder, with clear puncture holes for all of his teeth. It looked like it hurt a lot. Alfred suddenly felt ashamed of himself and drew back.
Arthur frowned a little at the distressed look, bringing a hand up to Alfred's cheek. "What is it, love?" he asked quietly.
"I-I'm sorry..." Alfred choked out, closing his eyes so he wouldn't have to face Arthur.
"Wha-" Arthur blinked, another hand coming up to cup the merman's face. "Alfred, what are you sorry for?"
"The- The bite! I'm sorry!" Alfred whimpered.
Arthur stared at him for a moment. "A-Alfred- no... You don't need to be sorry for that..."
"But it's too much!" Alfred pulled his face from Arthur's hands and lowered his head. "I'm sorry I hurt you!"
"N-No- no, Alfred, really, you didn't," Arthur replied, eyes widening a little.
"R-Really?" Alfred dared to peek up at him.
"Yes really." Arthur sighed softly, giving a small smile and holding his hands out towards the other's face. "Come here..."
Still a bit hesitant, Alfred slowly brought his head closer. "Yeah?"
Reaching out for it, Arthur once more took Alfred's face in his hands, leaning their foreheads together. "Alfred... It's perfectly all right. I-I actually kind of liked it," he admitted, turning red.
Alfred's mouth slackened with surprise. "You did? You really did? Y-You weren't just sayin' that cuz of what was going on?"
"W-Well- no, if I didn't like it, I would have said," Arthur mumbled, glancing up at Alfred from under his lashes. "A-And besides, this... You've marked me as yours like this, right?"
"Okay, I'm glad..." Alfred sighed in relief. Then, his eyes widened in realization and glee. "Yes! Yes I did mark you! You're mine, now!"
Smiling and chuckling gently, Arthur brought Alfred closer. "Yes I am."
"All mine," Alfred whispered, his eyes bright again with excitement.
"Yours to do as you please with," Arthur breathed back, before pulling Alfred down into a kiss.
"Mm-" Alfred's pleased moan was cut off by the force of the kiss, and he pressed back into it eagerly.
Humming and smiling softly into it, Arthur's fingers carded through Alfred's hair as he kissed him, pulling him as close as they could be.
Breaking the kiss moments later to breathe, Alfred didn't move away. By then he was practically nestled in Arthur's lap, and he didn't mind the spot in the slightest. "My Artie..." he murmured as he ever so gently traced the bite mark.
Arthur shivered slightly at the touch, smiling up at Alfred. "All yours..."
"I'm glad," Alfred repeated, then flung his arms around Arthur and hugged him close.
"Ah-" Arthur blinked, then chuckled and wrapped his own arms around the merman. "I'm still not dressed, you know."
"I know that! I don't care!" Alfred snuggled more into him.
"Heh, all right," Arthur mumbled, closing his eyes and squeezing the other gently.
"Yeah!" But soon enough, Alfred moved back. "Now dress and food!" He himself slipped back into the pool, shivering in delight as his upper half got wet again.
"Yes, yes," Arthur said with a chuckle, standing up to search for his discarded boxers. "Is there anything in particular you want?" He asked as he bent down to pick them up.
"...Bacon!"
"Heh, of course. Anything else?"
"Hmm..." Alfred thought for a moment. "Maybe something warm? Like hot chocolate or...that tea or yours?" he asked, tilting his head a bit.
"All right," Arthur replied with a soft smile. "One moment, then."
"See you then, Artie!" Alfred flopped backwards into the water. "I'll be waiting!"
Arthur nodded and was off, soon back with a breakfast tray of food and tea.
Alfred had been hoping for hot chocolate more than tea, but he'd take it. His eyes lit up when he saw the tray, and he moved closer. "Have you got some for yourself?"
"Of course," Arthur responded with a smile, setting the tray down by the pool.
"Okay, that's good. You need sustenance," Alfred said, nodding.
"Heh, yes," Arthur agreed with a chuckle.
"Can I eat, then?" Alfred asked softly.
"Of course you can."
"Thank you, Artie!" Alfred attacked the food again, eagerly biting through the bacon. When he was finished, he rested his head on Arthur's lap. "Artie."
"Hm?' The Brit asked, halfway through his own sandwich.
"Feed me," Alfred demanded, opening his mouth.
"Wh- You've just had yours!" Arthur chuckled.
"Gimmie some more?"
Arthur huffed softly, then shook his head and held out the sandwich to the merman.
"Thank you!" Alfred chirped to him happily before taking two large bites. He swallowed and smacked his lips before speaking again. "So... I guess you gotta go back to work today, right?"
"Mm, yes, I probably should," Arthur reluctantly agreed, sighing.
"Okay. Will you be gone most of the day, then?"
"Yes, until the evening... I'm sorry."
"Hey, no it's fine!" Alfred reached up to stroke his cheek. "I understand..."
Arthur smiled gently, a hand coming up over Alfred's and squeezing a little. "Okay."
"I will wait for you, Artie," Alfred promised with a soft smile.
"All right, I'm glad," Arthur told him, then leaned down and gave him a kiss.
Kissing back eagerly, Alfred smiled at him before flopping back into the pool.
Evening brought with it a massively bored merman. Alfred had played with his fish, watched TV, practiced his writing, and read. Now he was antsy and slightly horny and very curious about blowjobs. Did they really feel that good? Pity none of Gilbert's porny movies were left.
All those thoughts fled his mind, though, when the door opened. "Arthur!" he cried, wriggling with pleasure. His expression faltered slightly when he saw how tired Arthur seemed, and he reached out for the Brit.
"Heh, hello there," Arthur replied, giving the other a small smile as he headed over to the merman.
"Hi! How was your work?" Alfred asked worriedly.
Arthur sat by the other with a small sigh. "Ah, it was all right. Had a lot to catch up on."
"Oh." The merman frowned and let his hands roam over Arthur's shoulders. "I'm sorry."
"Mm, no, it's fine," Arthur murmured, leaning into it and smiling down at Alfred. "...How about you? How were you?"
"Bored. And...hungry, but not for food." Alfred bit his lip as he explained, hoping that Arthur would get it.
Arthur raised a brow. "...Not for food?"
Alfred's cheeks pinked and he slowly ran his hands down Arthur's chest and stomach. "No..."
Arthur blinked, leaning back a little as a soft "Oh," escaped his lips, which then quirked up into a soft smile. "Alfred... I-I am a little tired, my dear."
"Ah, okay!" Alfred wasn't put off at all. "Can I at least give you a massage?"
"Oh?" Eyebrows raised, Arthur nodded slightly. "That'd be nice, yes."
"Okay then, get on your stomach!" Alfred commanded him cheerfully.
Chuckling softly, Arthur lay forwards, but not before stripping to his suit pants and exposing his back to the merman.
Alfred considered commenting on the fact that Arthur's underwear was peeking out, but decided not to. It was a pretty sight. The merman settled over Arthur's legs and placed his hands on the Brit's back, close to his butt. "Ready?"
"Mm, of course," Arthur murmured, closing his eyes in wait.
And so Alfred started. At first he did just give a simple massage, getting all of the horrible knots out of Arthur's back and happily running his fingers over his lover's skin. He remembered what Arthur had said about being tired, but he couldn't help digging a bit more into the area around Arthur's butt.
Arthur let out small hums and pleased moans all the while, leaning up into the touches slightly.
"You like this?" Alfred leaned over him to whisper the words hotly into Arthur's ear.
Shivering a little, Arthur let out a sigh. "Mm... I-I do..."
"You do?" Eyes brightening with an idea, the merman leaned down and nibbled softly on Arthur's ear. "I'm glad..."
"Nn..." Fist clenching with nothing else to grip onto, the Brit held back a moan, arching very slightly.
Bingo. Nibbling more, Alfred then leaned back, so his breath ghosted behind Arthur's ear. "You like this too?"
Arthur shifted a bit, letting out a low moan. His eyes cracked open, challengingly peering at the merman. "Ah... A-And what if I do?"
Alfred answered him with a wicked smile and more nibbling.
"Hnn- A-Alfred..." Arthur got out, face flushed slightly and unable to stop himself leaning into it.
"Hmm?" Alfred whispered again, eager to see where this would lead.
"Wh-What are you-" And then it all made sense. Turning over underneath Alfred, Arthur tilted his head a little, giving the merman a sly smile of his own. "What do you want, hm?" he queried.
Alfred's look immediately turned to one of innocence. "Why Arthur, I was merely giving you a massage!"
"Oh?" Arthur raised a brow, propping himself up on an elbow. "Well then why don't you massage my front too?" he murmured, inches away from Alfred's lips.
"Y-You want that?" Alfred's eyes flicked from green orbs to plump lips and back.
A small smirk tugged at the corner of his lips, and Arthur then lay back again, gently tugging at Alfred's shoulder to pull him closer down. "Well I have been hard at work the whole day..."
"O-Oh right! Right yeah! I'll massage you!" Allowing himself to get pulled into a better position, Alfred then gently placed his hands on Arthur's stomach.
"Mm, go on, then," Arthur purred. This would be a treat - payback for earlier.
"Okay," Alfred whispered, and slowly started massaging.
"Mm..." Almost immediately letting out a pleased hum, Arthur leaned up into it, his stomach arching into the touch.
Breath stuttering for a moment, Alfred quickly recovered and rubbed his thumbs in circles around Arthur's hip bones. "Is this okay?"
"Ah- yes, Alfred," Arthur groaned out exaggeratedly, smirking softly up at the merman.
Alfred's eyes widened and dilated, though he tried to get his reactions under control. "Tha- That's good."
"Mm, more, Alfred- I want more..."
The hands faltered horribly and jerked to a stop. "More?" Alfred stared at him. "More what?"
Arthur chuckled softly at this, triumphant. "Mm, you're massaging me, aren't you...? Do it more," he murmured.
"O-Okay..." As Alfred continued his massage, he watched Arthur's face. And as he watched, he realized that Arthur was just teasing him horribly. "Mean," he muttered under his breath as he swept his hands up Arthur's sides.
"What was that?" Arthur purred, leaning into the touch. To be perfectly fair, his reactions weren't entirely fake, just mercilessly exaggerated.
"You're mean!" Alfred huffed back at him.
"Oh? And why do you think that, hm?" Arthur asked, raising a brow.
"Because you're acting meanly," Alfred told him, his hands unconsciously moving to play with the hem of Arthur's boxers.
"Heh, that's hardly an explanation, you know..."
"Well it's all I'm givin'!" Alfred declared. "...Do you still want more?"
"Of course," Arthur replied with a grin.
"Well what kind of 'more' would you like?" Alfred whispered, his fingers slipping down to caress the sensitive skin of Arthur's crotch.
Arthur shivered softly, not expecting the touches when he was already half-hard, and glanced up at Alfred. "I-I... Isn't it pretty obvious?" he breathed.
"Yeah, but I want you to tell me," Alfred told him with a smile, withdrawing the hand.
"Mm, and you call me mean..." Arthur's smile faltered for a moment, before he smirked gently at Alfred again. "And I thought I was supposed to be helping you," he murmured teasingly.
Alfred's eyes lit up. "Really? You'll help me? I mean I know you're tired..."
"Heh, my dear," Arthur murmured, a smirk still on his face - although it had softened - and ran his hand down the other's chest to his tail. "Of course I'd help. It's better than you doing it yourself, hm?"
"I just wanna know what it feels like," Alfred murmured, suddenly shy.
"Hm?" Arthur tilted his head a little. "What?"
"That... The blow job..." The merman peered up at Arthur from beneath his eyelashes.
Blinking, Arthur's heart stuttered for a second, before he let out a slight chuckle. "Well why didn't you say so earlier, hm?" he murmured, hand travelling down and resting on the slit in the merman's tail.
Alfred shuddered at the touch and shuffled ever so closer to him. "I- I was kinda embarrassed..."
"All that time I could have been making you feel better," Arthur murmured against the other's lips, then leaned forwards to press a quick kiss to them. "Turn over, then."
"Hey don't worry about it! You said you were tired!" Alfred said quickly. "And turn over why?"
Arthur frowned softly. "So I can help you..."
"Ah, right!" Alfred did as Arthur asked and peered at the man with excitement.
Smiling gently, Arthur leaned down to kiss Alfred quickly.
Alfred kissed him back desperately, his arms going around Arthur's neck.
Humming softly, Arthur allowed the kiss to become fiercer, before breaking away from it and kissing along Alfred's jaw.
"Ah- Ah Artie!" Alfred gasped, his arms tightening.
"Hm?" Arthur opened his eyes when he reached the other's neck, breathing gently on the spot before deciding that he wanted to pay Alfred back for yesterday and kissed the soft skin experimentally.
The merman shivered again, his breath coming in gasps. "Wh-What are you doing?"
"Kissing you," Arthur replied in a murmur. "...Can I leave a mark?"
"A mark? Like I did, to you?" Alfred's voice was high with excitement. "You want to?"
"Of course," Arthur growled softly, pushing down on Alfred's shoulders and meeting his eyes with hard, emerald ones. "You're mine, aren't you?"
Eyes widening at the sudden ferocity, Alfred could do little more but gape at the Brit. Eventually, he nodded weakly.
"Good," Arthur said as he ducked his head down, nipping at the skin on Alfred's neck before sucking the spot.
Mewls burst from Alfred's mouth and his hands tangled into Arthur's skin. "Arthur, oh God!"
Humming around the flesh in his mouth, Arthur sucked more, running his tongue over the skin.
Gasping more, Alfred shifted closer to him. "Arthur, it feels so good!"
Lips twitching up with satisfaction, Arthur soon pulled back to admire his work, peppering the whole area with kisses.
"Arthur- Arthur does it look good?" Alfred panted out, chest rising up slightly to meet the kisses.
"Mm... It does," Arthur murmured, brushing his fingers over the dark red mark, before gently pressing his lips to Alfred's chest.
"Ah..." As the sigh escaped Alfred's mouth, the merman's eyes closed. "Oh Artie..."
"Hm?" Arthur asked quietly, looking up at Alfred as his kisses moved down the merman's body.
"So good," Alfred mumbled, arching into him. "You make me feel so good..."
Arthur paused at this, then smiling and pressing a softer, longer kiss to the skin on Alfred's stomach. "I'm glad."
Hands moving to Arthur's hair and tangling it, Alfred let out a whine. "It's not fair that you can!"
Arthur simply chuckled, kissing there more and continuing his descent. He kissed along the smooth seam between Alfred's torso and his tail, then gently brushed his hand against the merman's slit.
A shiver went down Alfred's spine at the touch- it wasn't often that a hand other than his own was down there. Within the slit, his cock twitched. "A-Are you gonna get it out?"
Arthur's eyes flicked up to Alfred. "I can," he said quietly, stroking the area gently more. "...So this is sensitive?"
"Hnng- Yes!" Alfred whimpered, his tail jerking to the side. Well when Arthur touched it like that!
A small smile twitched at Arthur's mouth, and he gave a small chuckle. "So what should I do, hm?"
Alfred's eyes flew open and he stared at Arthur incredulously. "Get on with it!"
"Mm, yes, but what do you want me to do?" Arthur tilted his head. "That was a legitimate question, Alfred..."
"Oh." Alfred propped his torso up on his arms and thought about it. "How about...anything you want. But you gotta also do a blow job! That's my one requirement!"
"Heh, of course," Arthur said, smirking slightly. Then his eyes flitted down to where Alfred's crotch was hidden with a little trepidation, and he stroked it again as he looked back up at Alfred. "This... Y-You like this, though, right?"
"Ah- ah, yes!" The merman went limp and sighed with pleasure, though his hips kept on making little jerks.
"I see... That's good..." Arthur said, continuing the movements. He briefly wondered whether it felt to the merman like he was touching his actual crotch, or just a generally sensitive area. Then, he decided to experiment, and slipped his fingers gently between the two sheets of skin into the slit, his eyes on Alfred the whole time - the anatomy was slightly different in this case, and so Arthur was nervous and wanted to make sure he was pleasing Alfred and doing the right thing.
Nostrils flaring at the sudden intrusion, Alfred quickly relaxed into the feeling. It felt so good... He'd masturbated before, but nothing could come close to the feeling of someone else touching you. He allowed more moans to spill from his lips, wanting to let Arthur know that he was doing a good job.
"You like that, hm?" Arthur asked quietly, smiling a little to himself, pleased. He allowed his fingers to slip around the slit, stroking the merman softly from the inside.
The whines and mewls increased in volume and Alfred's breath started to come in pants. The merman squirmed under Arthur's ministrations, and soon enough his cock poked through the flesh. "Arthur, oh Arthur!"
"Ah..." Arthur blinked when he saw it, then smiled and leaned down to place a kiss at the tip just peeking out, before pulling it out fully and stroking the shaft gently.
Not that it needed much more coaxing. After the kiss, Alfred's cock was standing up straight and fully hard, and Alfred himself was gasping for breath. He wriggled, arms flailing for purchase before grasping onto Arthur's biceps.
Arthur chuckled a little, pressing another kiss to the tip, then all the way down to the base of Alfred's cock.
Alfred's hands once again found their way to Arthur's hair and he tangled his fingers in it, pushing Arthur a bit more down.
"Mmh-" Arthur grunted slightly, then lifted his head with a smirk. "Getting impatient, are we?" he murmured, raising a brow and then taking the tip of Alfred's cock into his mouth.
Alfred flat out keened at that. The warmth and wetness of Arthur's mouth felt like nothing else the merman had ever experienced, and he instinctively thrust harshly into Arthur's face, wanting more of his cock inside.
Surprised, Arthur tensed slightly, his eyes widening, before he closed them and relaxed his throat, his mouth opening a little more to take Alfred in, and he gave a small suck.
"Fucking-!" Alfred screamed softly, bucking up more and forcing Arthur's head down more.
"Nngh..." Arthur hummed gently around the cock in his mouth, forcing his throat to relax, and decided to fuck it and humor the merman. So, breathing softly through his nose, he relaxed himself as much as possible and took Alfred in until the head of his cock hit the back of the Brit's throat, then giving a harsh suck and swallowing softly around him.
"Oh fucking God-" Alfred spasmed in pleasure, writhing and gasping underneath the Brit. He was so close, and Arthur had just started! "Arthur!"
The reactions got to Arthur, and he shifted slightly, pressing his legs a little closer together as he bobbed his head, a free hand coming up to gently rub at the slit around the merman's member - he supposed it was akin to fondling his balls, and he wanted Alfred to experience it all. At the other's voice, his eyes opened, glancing up at Alfred beneath his lashes as he moved. "Hm...?"
"More! More, Artie!" Alfred gasped out, thrusting again.
"A-Ah-" Arthur kept his eyes on Alfred as he bobbed, giving little sucks and licks, before deep-throating the merman again.
"God, Arthur! Fuck yes!" Alfred's throat was going hoarse from his cries. "Arthur, please!"
Arthur gave a harsh suck, even gently dragging his teeth over the top of Alfred's shaft, and lapped softly at the tip, all his efforts going to drive Alfred to the edge. He gave out another small hum, his eyes going wide and doeful as their gaze shifted up to Alfred's.
When Alfred met that gaze, he came undone. A low gasp tore itself from his throat and he couldn't stop himself from spilling right into Arthur's mouth.
Letting out a small gasp of surprise himself, Arthur closed his eyes and obediently swallowed the warm fluid, sucking Alfred dry before coming up, eyes lidded, face flushed, and with a little come dribbling out of the corner of his mouth.
Alfred was looking at him in awe, eyes wide and hands reaching down to cup Arthur's cheeks. A thumb reached out to wipe the come away. "Arthur..."
Arthur sighed gently, a soft smile coming over his face as he leaned into the other's hand. He shuffled up to the merman, letting himself lie on top of him and hug him gently. "...How was it?" he murmured
"It was...amazing," Alfred mumbled back, his arms moving to wrap around Arthur's torso.
"Mm, that's good." Arthur's smile grew, pleased that Alfred had enjoyed it. He himself was still hard from the experience, but he could take care of it himself later - or it would go down itself soon enough anyway - and he didn't want to bother Alfred with it, so he just hummed contentedly and snuggled into the merman.
But Alfred felt the hard cock poking into his tail, and he raised an eyebrow. "So you need help too?"
"Hm?" Arthur blinked, looking up at Alfred, and then smiled slightly. "Ah... It's all right, Alfred. You're probably a little tired, right? Don't worry about it," he said softly.
"Ah, okay..." Alfred thought for a moment, and then brightened. "Well if you wanna use me to get yourself off, then go ahead!"
"It's fine," Arthur murmured, simply closing his eyes and leaning into the other.
"Okay, if you're sure." Alfred pressed soft kisses to any part of Arthur that he could reach.
Humming contentedly, Arthur snuggled closer. Soon enough, though, he was ever so slightly shifting his hips against Alfred's scales, the moves almost unconscious. The merman noticed those movements, but he didn't say anything for fear of disturbing the Brit. Plus the rutting felt nice, so he wasn't losing anything by letting them happen. Arthur hummed softly, snuggling closer to his lover.
"Hey there, Artie," Alfred murmured to him.
"Hey," Arthur replied quietly, his hips still moving against the other in gentle motions.
"Heh, Artieeee..." One of Alfred's hands reached up to run through the Brit's hair.
"Hm?" Arthur asked in a mumble.
"Nothin'. Just hey." Alfred grinned at him.
Arthur eyed the other suspiciously for a moment, before huffing and burying his nose in Alfred's neck, shifting his hips a little.
"What?" Smiling more, Alfred rubbed ever so gently back.
"What yourself?" Arthur said with another huff, humming gently at the increase in feeling.
"You! You, Artie! I love you!" Alfred suddenly pressed kisses to everywhere he could reach.
"Wh-wha-?" Arthur blinked, flushing. "Wh-What's this for?"
"Because it's true!" Alfred chirped, kissing him more. "And thank you for earlier!"
"You don't need to thank me."
"But I want to!"
"Well it's only normal..."
"Still! Thank you!" Alfred snuggled more into him.
Arthur huffed and hugged back. "Well, you're welcome."
"Really!" Alfred rubbed against him more harshly.
"Ah-" Gasping at the increase in friction, Arthur's eyes widened slightly as he suddenly realized what he was doing, and his movements stuttered, his face reddening a little in embarrassment. Soon enough the rubbing cut off entirely.
"Sorry!" Alfred's eyes widened as he realized that he'd done the thing he was trying to avoid. He cupped Arthur's face and pressed their foreheads together. "It's okay! You can keep doing that, don't worry please!"
"A-Ah... All right..." Arthur mumbled. He was still a little embarrassed, but he was still turned on too, so he let himself start rubbing against the other a little again.
The merman let out little gasps and pants of his own, and he leaned into the touches.
This spurred Arthur on slightly, and he became more confident, his movements a bit bolder and stronger.
"There we go... Yeah, Artie," Alfred murmured.
"Mm..." Closing his eyes and clutching the other closer, Arthur rutted against him.
"Artie, Artie!" Alfred leaned into all the sensations, closing his eyes as well.
He felt the rutting speed up, heard Arthur's pants and sensed the Brit's breath against his neck. He himself crooned soft encouragement and tightened his grip on his lover. Soon enough Arthur came undone, and Alfred felt the spot of warmth against his tail.
"You feel better?" he asked softly.
"Mm..." Arthur hummed in affirmation, leaning closer to the other.
"I'm glad, Artie. I like making you feel good."
"Yes..."
"Wanna sleep now?"
Arthur blinked. "Are you sure that's okay? We haven't eaten yet," he mumbled.
"Ah, right food! Do you wanna move to make it?"
"Mm, I don't mind."
"Okay! So you get food then we moved to the mattress?"
"All right," Arthur replied with a soft smile.
"Go then, babe!"
"Mhm." Quickly pressing a kiss to Alfred's cheek, Arthur then pulled himself away and headed off to make food.
"Bye!" Alfred called after him, waving a bit.
The Brit was soon back with food, and he sat by the pool passing the tray to Alfred.
"Thanks." Taking the food, Alfred pressed a kiss to Arthur's cheek. "It looks really good." He ate quickly but quietly, and then rested his head on Arthur's shoulder.
"Hm?" Arthur blinked and smiled, raising a hand to stroke Alfred's hair.
"Just hi there," Alfred said softly.
"Heh, well hello back," Arthur murmured back, turning his head to lightly kiss Alfred's, then quickly finishing his food.
Once the food was gone, Alfred tugged him onto the mattress and curled up around him. "Night then, Artie?"
"Heh, all right," Arthur responded, snuggling into him a little. "Good night."
Arthur drifted off first. Alfred was kept awake long into the night by disturbing thoughts. All the while during their sexual escapades that evening, Alfred had desperately wanted to wrap his legs around Arthur's body to hold him closer. The obvious problem was, of course that Alfred didn't have legs to do that with. It was a problem that both plagued and terrified him. Arthur had said that he didn't care, but Alfred knew that one day he would get tired of the inability to even go out properly with his partner.
And maybe, just maybe, Arthur would find someone else who made his heart flutter and made him feel good, but someone that he'd also be able to take around town and do fun things with and go on proper dates like they did on TV. Alfred wasn't stupid. He knew that a good portion of his allure came from the fact that he was a merman. Even the ugliest merperson would be regarded with fascination by the humans. And one day, that fascination could fade.
