Prompt: fantasy setting where Tony's rival tries to get rid of him by making a deal with the shady coliseum beast master to tie him up in the fighting pit after hours and release the beast creature/foreign gladiator (your pick) except the beast is used to condemned criminals with weapons who battle him bravely in front of a cheering crowd so he figures this can't be a fight. The beast master can only do a "go on" gesture at the tied up boy because the beast doesn't speak their language, so the beast figures his coach must've actually gotten him a stress relief present for all his victories. The beast thinks these people are so barbaric but who is he to turn down such a lovely gift all tied up in a bow and everything? He tests Tony's suitability as a mate in front of the shocked rival and embarrassed beast master before dragging him back into his lair, enjoying his spoils, and afterwards guarding him viciously from anyone who dares trying to take him back. When Tony's rival returns to mock his fate, the beast attacks, showing that he always had the ability to escape his captivity, he just didn't have reason. Tony seizes the chance to leave and his very dedicated mate happily tags along to whatever adventures await :)
