Work Text:
Sungho swam up the the counter of the Rainbow Reef Cafe, flipping his long, scaled tail as he did so. Euijoo grabbed a table for them while Sungho ordered. Euijoo had tried to pay for the two of them in the past, citing age, but Sungho never let him. Now, he obediently got them their table and left everything to Sungho. Euijoo didn’t even bother telling Sungho what he wanted, since his mate somehow always knew his order no matter where they went.
“Welcome to Rainbow Reef cafe,” said the barista. “What would you like today?”
Sungho smiled confidently. “Two coral floats, please. One with the sea salt cream, both with sugar and one of your shimmering pearl cakes.”
He paid and took the number placard the barista handed him before swimming back to the table where Euijoo sat. It was up against a window, and made of carved coral, with two seats formed from iridescent shells. Sungho paused for a second to admire the way Euijoo looked against the soft pastel of the wall before he swam up and settled into the shell seat, curling his long tail forward, under the table. Like all tables in this cafe, it was a sweetheart table, designed to bring the two seated people’s tails close together—maybe even close enough to touch.
“You’re staring,” Euijoo said, his head tilted slightly with that soft, confused smile that Sungho liked so much.
“Don’t be shy. It’s your fault for looking so good,” Sungho said.
“You’re teasing me.”
“I’m flirting with you. It’s not working?”
Euijoo blushed and laughed a little awkwardly. “We’re already dating.”
Sungho winked. “That just means I can flirt even more.”
“I think our order is ready,” Euijoo said. Sungho laughed at his attempt to distract him and reached over to squeeze his hand before floating out of his seat to retrieve their drinks and food. He carried it back over and set it down before sliding back into his seat.
Before Euijoo could do anything, Sungho reached over to scoop some of the cake onto a fork. He held it out to Euijoo with a mischievous look in his eyes. “Say ahh.”
“Sungho!” Euijoo protested. Sungho hummed, holding the bite of food up. Euijoo’s face was pink, but he shyly leaned over to take the offering. Sungho felt hopelessly endeared by the sight. No matter how embarrassed, awkward, or confused Euijoo was, he always played along with Sungho.
“You’re cute,” Sungho said. He was pleased to see Euijoo’s awkward smile turn sweet, sweeter than the cake they were sharing. It had taken them a while to get to this point. Euijoo was just so pure and genuinely, wholeheartedly nice. At every turn, Euijoo had been oblivious to Sungho’s advances.
Sungho had done everything in his power. He had asked all of Euijoo’s friends for his likes and dislikes. He had followed Euijoo around, taking note of everywhere he visited and memorizing his schedule. He had “accidentally” shown up in the same places as many times as he could without being suspicious. Slowly, he got closer to Euijoo. But, Euijoo always just laughed off his attempts at flirting or replied sincerely and completely, horribly platonically.
Months of this had gone by until Sungho just couldn’t take it any longer. Sungho had cornered Euijoo, pinning the older male against the sea rock. Their height difference was perfect for Sungho to bury his face in Euijoo’s neck and nuzzle his scent gland, a gesture that was as far from platonic as a merman could get. He had even licked it for good measure, refusing to let Euijoo misinterpret anything.
Sungho looked at Euijoo and smiled. His Euijoo was so sweet and innocent. It was a good thing that Sungho had taken him before anyone else could. He would never let anyone take Euijoo from him. He still remembered how Euijoo had squirmed so prettily under him their first night. Euijoo still hadn’t fully understood how much Sungho wanted him until Sungho had pinned him down and forced him to see.
The memory of their first time sent heat through his body and he looked at Euijoo with hooded eyes. Euijoo was obliviously eating the cake. He watched his boyfriend chase the treat with his drink. His eyes narrowed at the sight of Euijoo’s pretty lips wrapped around his straw.
“Give me a taste, baby?” Sungho asked.
Innocently, Euijoo held his cup to him. Sungho chuckled and shook his head before sliding closer to him. He wrapped a muscular arm around his boyfriend’s shoulders and dragged him close. He tilted his head slightly up and leaned in to press his lips against Euijoo’s. Euijoo’s eyes widened and his mouth parted with surprise, giving Sungho the perfect opportunity to slide his tongue in.
Euijoo made a surprised sound and instinctively tried to push Sungho away out of embarrassment. Sungho held him tighter and kissed him harder, licking inside his mouth with hunger. The salty sweetness of his creamy drink melted into wet heat that Sungho happily lapped up. He could feel Euijoo’s face heating up the longer they kissed. His own was warm as well and he could feel that heat inside him growing and growing. Without thinking, he ran his other hand down Euijoo’s abs and to the front of his tail. And then, a little lower…
Euijoo let out a mortified squeak and shoved Sungho away. Sungho licked his lips, already trying to lean back in with a predatory gaze.
“Sungho! We’re in public,” Euijoo whispered.
“Then we better go somewhere private.”
“Sungho!” Euijoo said, scandalized. Sungho laughed and tugged Euijoo up to swim out. “We barely touched our drinks!”
“I’ll buy you a whole cafe if you want. I need to be inside you now,” Sungho said, dragging Euijoo away to his cove. It was only a brief swim away and soon Sungho was pushing Euijoo down onto his seaweed bed.
“W-Wait, Sungho,” Euijoo protested, whining when Sungho attacked his neck with his lips.
“I can’t wait, baby.” Sungho mouthed at Euijoo’s neck. Euijoo weakly tried to push at Sungho’s broad shoulders before giving up and wrapping his arms around him instead. Sungho grinned, pressing his tail firmly down against Euijoo’s. “That’s right, sweetheart. You’re so good for me, aren’t you? Let me take care of you.”
“I’m still sore from earlier,” Euijoo whined, but he pliantly tilted his head to give Sungho more access to his neck. No matter how much he protested, he always ended up letting Sungho do what he wanted. Despite being taller and bigger than Sungho, he always felt helpless in the force of Sungho’s desire for him.
“I’ll be gentle,” Sungho said. His cock was already poking out of his sheath and he rubbed against Euijoo.
“You’re lying!”
“I’ll make you feel good, sweetheart. I can’t stop. I need you too bad. I just love you so much,” Sungho said, his voice a low purr as he tried to soothe Euijoo. Just the feeling of his cock grinding against Euijoo’s smooth scales sent sparks of pleasure through him and he felt ravenous for more. He panted as he rubbed on top of him, seeking his partner’s slit.
Euijoo gasped when Sungho’s tip caught on his genital slit in the front of his tail. Sungho let out a low moan as he started to roll his hips, trying to push more of his cock inside Euijoo’s tight, wet heat.
“You’re doing so well, baby,” Sungho said. He leaned up to press a tender kiss to Euijoo’s lips, belying the forceful way he was entering him.
“Sungho!” Euijoo cried out. Tears welled in his eyes as Sungho took him. “T-Too much!”
“Shhh, you were made for me. I love you so much, baby. You’re taking me so well.”
“I can’t!”
“You can. You’re such a good mate, letting me make love to you like this,” Sungho praised him as he sunk the last inch of his thick cock inside. He took a shuddering breath at the feeling of being fully sheathed in Euijoo. He began to rock inside him, rocking in and out. His eyes were intensely focused on Euijoo’s face, cutely scrunched up and wet with tears that melted into the ocean.
Eujioo’s cries and protests became soft whimpers that just made Sungho more and more aroused. Sungho kissed him again, muffling his sounds. The kiss was sloppy and wet. Sungho couldn’t control himself as he thrust in and out of his mate. His mouth was open and he panted and drooled into Euijoo’s mouth as he took him.
“Feels so good,” Sungho said against his lips.
Euijoo writhed underneath him and tried to push at Sungho’s chest. He just felt so sensitive, sore, and overstimulated. Every movement brought a mix of pleasure and pain and an overwhelming fullness that made him want to simultaneously escape and press closer for more. “Please, Sungho, i-it’s too much!”
“I’m so close, baby. I’m almost there.” Sungho gasped. He reached to grab Euijoo’s hands and interlaced their fingers as he increased his speed, fucking his mate with a mounting, feverish desperation.
“Slow down, you’re t-too rough, ah, ah, ah!”
“I love you, Euijoo! I love you! I’m so close. Come for me, baby.”
Sungho moaned as he buried himself as deep as he could. He rolled his hips, trying to find the right angle, and was gratified to feel Euijoo clench even tighter around him. Euijoo’s face screwed up in pleasure and Sungho grinded hard, pressing a spot that sent sparks through Euijoo’s body while their tails created a delicious friction near his clit.
“N-No, wait, a-ah! Ah!”
Sungho grit his teeth, holding back his orgasm as he forced Euijoo to the peak. Euijoo’s body tensed and then he was shaking as pleasure overtook him. Sungho could feel Euijoo fluttering around him and the feeling of his already tight heat growing tighter sent him over the edge. Sungho moaned and thrust a single time more before becoming undone. Euijoo gasped, his body arching as wet heat spilled into him. Sungho pushed harder, pressing Euijoo down harder to make sure he took it all.
Finally, when it was over, Sungho pressed tender, soft kisses over Euijoo’s face. “You did so well, my pearl. I love you so much.”
Euijoo sniffled, blinking away tears of overstimulation, but gave Sungho a sweet smile. “I love you too, Sungho.”
Despite his oversensitivity, Sungho stayed buried inside his mate. He continued to press kisses to Euijoo’s lips, cheeks, and jaw. Then, he nosed at his neck, licking and nipping at his scent gland. Euijoo smelled so good, like salt and sex and home.
They cuddled like this for a while, exchanging sweet nothings and kisses. And then slowly, Sungho hardened inside of Euijoo.
“No more, I’m tired,” Euijoo begged.
Sungho smiled affectionately, feeling devotion well in him at the adorable sight of his mate so deliciously debauched. It only made him harder. Sungho started to roll his hips again. He tightened his grip on Euijoo’s hands and pressed his tail down harder to ensure that Euijoo couldn’t escape. Euijoo cried out as Sungho thrust inside of him. His eyes fluttered shut as he passed out, overstimulated.
“Just a little more.” Sungho lied.
