[Nonhuman] After I Got the Strongest Commander to Lay Eggs for Me

[Blurb subject to revision]

The top is an alien octopus: simple-minded, with powerful tentacles. He lives by eating monsters in space, and the more evil the monster, the tastier it is.

The bottom, the highest-ranking human commander, considers him an extremely dangerous creature and puts out a warrant for his capture.

To get his hands on delicious food, the octopus has no choice but to disguise himself as a pitiful, lonely human boy and sneak into a city under monster attack.

One day, after fighting a monster and enjoying a hearty meal, the top sits amid the ruins, covered in blood as he eats.

To his surprise, the human commander who put out the warrant for his capture happens to pass by with a fleet, spots him, and strides over.

The top hesitates over whether to strike first, but the bottom drapes his cloak over him, wipes the blood from his lips with a fingertip, and speaks in a low, reassuring voice:

"Don't be afraid, child."

Top: ...Huh???

Mistaken for an orphan of war, the top is adopted by the human commander.

The bottom is a little cold by nature, but patiently teaches him to read and write and how to use human tools.

When the top can't stomach human food, the bottom even comes home every day to cook him special meals.

As long as the top goes to school and eats on time every day, the commander will pat his head and praise him for being a good boy.

Gradually, the top becomes more and more like a human, but he remains unable to grow or reach adulthood.

The bottom consults every doctor he can find but can't discover a cure.

"Don't be afraid." The bottom holds the top and gently pats his back. "It doesn't matter if you never grow up. Uncle can take care of you for the rest of your life."

The top looks at the slight furrow between the bottom's brows and asks thoughtfully, "Uncle really wants me to grow up?"

The bottom says nothing, but the top understands. He kisses the bottom on the cheek and smiles innocently.

"As you wish."

The bottom doesn't know that the top's species can only mature after developing the desire to reproduce and getting someone pregnant.

The bottom is a celebrated commander of the Human Federation, cold and unfeeling for many years, until the day he picks up an orphan boy.

The boy stands among the ruins, covered in blood, looking both innocent and pitiful.

He takes the boy home and dotes on him as if he were his own child. The boy is obedient and sensible, but suffers from a strange illness that keeps him from growing up.

Until one night, the bottom is drugged and, delirious, stumbles around the bathroom, completely at a loss. Suddenly, a familiar pair of arms reaches around him from behind.

"Uncle..." the boy says in a lingering, tender voice.

The bottom is about to scold him when he feels cold, wet tentacles coil around his ankles.

As the boy coos flirtatiously, "You smell so good."

Only then does he recognize the monster he once put a warrant out for.

The monster boy, now grown up overnight, takes his fill of him.

When the bottom wakes, the boy has left him nothing but a glass of water before abandoning him and disappearing.

The bottom crushes the glass in gloomy silence and searches the universe for the boy, but can't find him anywhere.

Yet his belly grows bigger by the day.

The top finds a nest and happily hurries back. As soon as he sees the bottom, before he can even start acting spoiled, a mass of chains drops from above and binds him.

The bottom walks over and says darkly:

"Where the hell have you been?"

"I went to find a nest suitable for having babies."

The top looks at the bottom, then at the chains around himself, and quickly understands. "Uncle wants to play some kind of game with me? Come on, I'm all tied up."

The top looks at him expectantly.

The bottom, who was planning to imprison him: ...
