A cool, sickly, seemingly gentle bottom with a hidden dark side x a seemingly mild-mannered but actually twisted and sinister eldritch creature top
Qu Nuo's life fell apart when he was twenty-two. He had no blood ties to his family, and his only value was as a pawn to hold the family together. At the engagement banquet with his betrothed, his younger brother embraced him in front of everyone.
“A body like a monster's. Disgusting.” The pain was unbearable, and he heard his younger brother say those words to him.
He really was a monster. After his brother, who hated him, embraced him, his shameless body gave rise to a new hatred.
After the scandal, the family secretly sent Qu Nuo to a remote border region of the Federation. There, he took a low-level clerical job at a research institute studying ancient ruins. He had no money and no medicine to treat his pheromone imbalance. He'd probably die soon, Qu Nuo thought indifferently.
While waiting to die, Qu Nuo began visiting the ancient eldritch creatures held in the underground laboratory. He felt a kinship with them, because he was a monster too.
Of all the creatures, Qu Nuo visited most often the ancient eldritch creature designated as high-risk, because it was so weak and yet subjected to the most brutal live experiments.
How pitiful, he thought, reaching out to the little thing, broken and incomplete.
But perhaps it was just his imagination. On the nights when he touched the little thing, Qu Nuo would have erotic dreams, and his body would feel strange...
.
Under his care, the creature that had once been a bright red lump of flesh grew into a strong, healthy dragon with a graceful form. Before his own broken life came to an end, he had managed to accomplish something miraculous. Qu Nuo felt secretly proud.
But it was as if Qu Nuo wasn't allowed even a moment of happiness. At his younger brother's request, Qu Nuo was chosen as a test subject to soothe a ferocious eldritch creature. The beast had no human consciousness, and once Qu Nuo was locked in the observation chamber, there was no chance of survival.
The researchers were mourning the fragile, beautiful young man's fate when they heard a loud crash. The man they had assumed was certain to die was held in the arms of a stunning young man, his hands bound above his head by tentacles, his face flushed, his legs weakly kicking against the corpse of the ferocious creature.
“...Jiang Long, don't do this.”
Fushimi Jiang Long tilted his head and extended his slender tongue, licking Qu Nuo's cheek again and again. His blood-red eyes were filled with obsession and feverish passion. “Big brother, if I call you big brother, does that mean I can mate with you? I want to mate with you.”
