Smut warning, proceed with caution
*********

Hongjoong had a nightmare. In his dream, he awoke in their room but was still aware that he was dreaming for how unusual their room was and how hazy his sight seemed. In his dream, he was held down to the mattress by something holding onto his wrists and disrupting his blood flow.

"Seonghwa?" He asked in a murmur, nervous since he didn't see the man. But Seonghwa was right there with him. Upon Hongjoong's call, Seonghwa soon came into sight. With a movement that was oddly smooth, he slid over to find his place between Hongjoong's spread legs. It was the same scene from just hours ago, but this time, it unnerved Hongjoong. He didn't like how dark Seonghwa's eyes were as they gleamed down at him through the dim twilight in their room.

"I'm here, love. No need to worry. Are you in pain?"

"Why would I be in pain?"

Befuddled, Hongjoong looked down on himself, searching for the source of possible hurt. He didn't find anything worth noting on his bare body. But his attention stuck to the tentacles that had spread out around him. Limp and soft pink, they laid on the sheets around him and brushed his sides as he tried to squirm away from them. Alarmed by the sight, Hongjoong tried to free himself from the hold on him.

"Seonghwa- Let me go, those are-"

Seonghwa had settled both of his hands on Hongjoong's thighs. He wasn't the one pinning down Hongjoong.

Blanking, Hongjoong glanced up at his hands. A slimy tentacle had wrapped around his wrists tightly, about as thick as his lower arm but infinitely more durable. The white suckers on the sensitive underside grabbed onto Hongjoong's skin and yanked on it painfully when he tried to twist his arms out of its grasp.

"Seonghwa, help, please," Hongjoong begged. He tried to twist his body around and bite at the offending tentacle, but Seonghwa's arms on his thighs held him down. When Hongjoong glanced at him fleetingly to see if he got restrained, too, he noticed that the other tentacles around Seonghwa had risen. They spread out around him, centring with him in their midst as they acted upon their own will.

Hongjoong gasped when one of them brushed over his chest. The slick texture brushed against his sensitive nipples and left a shiny sheen of goo on them.

Nervously, Hongjoong wormed harder, wanting to wake up. His panic threatened to take over. Seeing his discomfort, Seonghwa leaned over him to kiss over Hongjoong's chest and lick away the slime.

"Relax," Seonghwa whispered against his skin. Trusting him, Hongjoong yielded to the request. His nervous fingers curled around the squishy tentacle. Something brushed against his still soft entrance and Hongjoong allowed it in with a little moan.

It was only when Seonghwa sat back up and didn't move despite the gentle thrusts Hongjoong felt nudging against his prostate, that his eyes flew over to his lover once more. A disbelieving gasp escaped him when he found Seonghwa far from him.

On cue to his shock, the tentacle inside of him slipped deeper. Supported by its self-produced slick, it entered deeper into Hongjoong than anything he had ever felt before. He threw his head to the side, confused between feeling good and horrified over the foreign intrusion into his body. The tentacle curled and moved in ways no human genital ever could and it took Hongjoong's breath away. His sleep-ridden brain didn't connect things how he should while Seonghwa's fingers gently ran over his thighs.

The other tentacles explored Hongjoong. They brushed over every inch of free skin and found their places to tease his body until pleasure took him over. Whining, Hongjoong thrust into the grip one had on his quickly hardening length. In their bizarre anomaly, they scared him but heightened his senses to the point of receiving extra pleasure from them.

A smaller, thinner tentacle with no suckers as if it was still in development flicked over Hongjoong's leaking slit. When it slipped inside, his eyes flew open, stunned by the foreign sensation. The loud moan that tumbled from his lips got distracted by another tentacle breaching his lips. The suckers on his tongue tasted sweet and made his mouth tingle.

The deep thrusts inside were soon joined by another tentacle slipping in beside the bigger one. It pressed insistently against Hongjoong's prostate, sending him into throes of pleasure that were all too much at once. When he came all over his chest trembling, the tentacle inside his length pulled back only for as long as his seed spilt from him, before it slipped back inside.

Hongjoong wanted to beg them to stop, oversensitive and with cramping legs that spasmed around Seonghwa's hips. But even as the captain glanced at Seonghwa through the fringe of his sweaty hair, the man just watched him. Unmoving. Hungry.

Moaning around the tentacle in his mouth, Hongjoong nearly gagged when the soft pink flesh nearly thrust too deep. He struggled, his body spasming in the grip it had on him.

There was something in the back of his mind. Something dangerous he had to remember. But it just wouldn't reach him.

It continued. The thrusts inside filled every corner of Hongjoong until he felt as if the tentacles would touch in the middle of his intestines. It was too much, he felt as if he would burst at the seams but at the same time, he was gone with pleasure.

When the thrusts below became more erratic and rougher, Hongjoong gasped around every plunge. His fingers cramped up as he nearly passed out from how much it was and how far he felt the tentacles slithering around inside of him. Tears brimmed in his eyes from the intensity and how scared he was.

Seonghwa watched him with his head tilted and his lips bit. The second the tentacles spasmed and tensed inside of Hongjoong, Seonghwa's lips also dropped open in a moan.

Hongjoong nearly threw up. The pressure of the tentacles inside of him took him over and he screamed hoarsely around the penetration in his throat. He shut up when he choked wetly around its come, feeling it fill his mouth and stomach hotly. The two thicker tentacles inside him had slits dipping into their bulbous heads as Hongjoong knew it from humans. They poured loads of pinkish come into him, streaking his entrails with it until he nearly passed out from the pressure.

When his body convulsed violently and he flung himself to the side, the tentacle in his mouth pulled away with a flinch. The one in his ass still thrust in wetly, stirring up the liquid inside until it had to draw further back to avoid him throwing up all of it.

Hongjoong gagged onto the mattress, vomiting out everything clogging up his breathing ways.

And only when he tearfully gazed upon the mess dripping from his chin and mixed with his saliva, blood-chilling awareness returned to his mind.

He had just thrown up about a dozen alien eggs.

Hongjoong awoke with a scream. He sat upright within a second, his trembling and spasming hands feeling over the blankets. One of his hands found Seonghwa, clutching onto him as the man sleepily turned in his direction.

"Hongjoong?"

Panicking, Hongjoong reached between his legs, feeling for his entrance. It was slick with a liquid too slimy to be belonging to either Seonghwa or the lube.

Hongjoong whipped around to turn on the lamp on his bedside table. Seonghwa blinked against the harsh light protestingly, while Hongjoong stared at his hand with burning eyes. His stomach churned.

Pink slick.

"No. No, no, no." Hongjoong's hands flew to his mouth, trying to stifle the horrified scream that threatened to spill from him. Worried, Seonghwa sat up to drag him into his arm.

"Hey, what's wrong, are you alright?"

"Seonghwa- The alien, it- It must be here, I dreamt- And the eggs-" He spoke gibberish, making no sense at all. Seonghwa just listened to him with a frown. Gasping for air, Hongjoong tried to form a single logical thought. His heart was torn between the raw fear of Seonghwa his dream had provided to him and the horror of his situation.

"What about the eggs?"

"I have them inside of me," Hongjoong mouthed in dread. When Seonghwa just stared at him in bewilderment, Hongjoong grasped onto his hand.

"Please," he sobbed. "Please get them out of me. I don't want them."

Helpless in his concern, Seonghwa's thumb brushed over the fresh tears streaking Hongjoong's cheeks. The man shook like a leaf in the wind and not even Seonghwa's proximity could calm him down.

"Please." Hongjoong's voice broke around his sob.

Still perplexed, Seonghwa carefully laid Hongjoong down into the pillows again. As he pushed Hongjoong's legs apart to kneel between them, Hongjoong gnawed on his knuckles, mad with apprehension. His spasming legs nearly kicked Seonghwa off.

Seonghwa's long fingers slipped into him without resistance. Hongjoong could feel them pressing the little bumps inside of him against his walls. With his hands pressed to his lips, he swallowed his bile and his screams. Careful not to hurt him, Seonghwa scooped out a few of the eggs. They slipped from Hongjoong wetly to form a hot pool between his legs.

"You're cramping up," Seonghwa muttered when he reached in again. His long fingers got out some more, having noticeable troubles to free them from Hongjoong's tightened canal.

Hongjoong was still sobbing in revulsion and dread. He didn't want eggs inside of him, didn't want them to leech off him and rip him apart as they hatched. He was terrified, nearly blacking out from nausea any second.

"Get them out. Please get them out," Hongjoong begged again, unable to form any other thoughts. He threw his sweaty head to the side and clenched his eyes shut, unable to look at Seonghwa while he was like this. So vile, so sickening.

"I'll need to loosen you up. Joong, please relax for me."

Hongjoong nodded, trying his best while he still concentrated on trying to push the eggs out together with Seonghwa's fingers. When they slid from him again, he whimpered.

Seonghwa's hands settled on his thighs, massaging them gently. Then, he slipped his length inside.

At the first moment, everything was fine.

Then, Seonghwa entered him far deeper than he should have been able to.

"Ah-" Hongjoong swallowed his surprised noise when he noticed that something was terribly, horribly wrong. Wide open, his eyes stared at the wall above his head unseeingly.

The shape inside of him didn't feel like Seonghwa and neither like his fingers. In the most haunting and blood-chilling way, it felt exactly the same as the tentacle that had invaded Hongjoong in his dream.

Hongjoong laid petrified even as the tentacle slipped deeper and curled protectively around its eggs. He didn't even flinch.

Seonghwa's hands still massaged Hongjoong's legs as if nothing were wrong.

Jerky as if his head sat on a wooden doll's neck, Hongjoong turned to look at him. At the pink tentacles that had spread out around them. At Seonghwa's dark eyes.

"Seong-Seonghwa?"

Seonghwa dipped down to kiss Hongjoong's stomach. Reverent and ever so gentle, his lips kissed over his skin. His tentacles gently massaged Hongjoong's insides as if their touch would calm the hysteria bubbling in his chest. Their movement obscenely shifted the skin of Hongjoong's stomach under Seonghwa's kisses.

"It's alright. I know they can feel like a lot. But it's fine. You'll be an excellent mom for them."

Tears dripped uncaringly from Hongjoong's bulging eyes as he shook his head slowly. Stupefied with trauma, his body didn't move.

"No. No, Seonghwa- Not you, it can't be you."

"It is me," Seonghwa breathed against his skin. He nipped lightly, sending a shock of pain through Hongjoong's nerves that resonated in his brain.

He wasn't sleeping. This was real. The tentacle gently fucking into him and pushing those eggs far into his guts was real.

"No worries. I won't kill you. Not you. Never you. I love you, Hongjoong."

Hongjoong sobbed at the betrayal. All the lies. The horror that consumed his sanity. He couldn't speak anymore, his lips just as frozen as the rest of him.

Seonghwa rose Hongjoong's legs so the tentacle could enter him easily and pick up its pace. The occasional groan escaped Seonghwa's lips, giving away that he could feel this, that this was pleasurable to him.

Silent tears covered Hongjoong's cheeks and wet the pillow below his head.

When Seonghwa came again to make up for the eggs he had scooped out, he threw his head back in bliss. More of the vicious things entered Hongjoong, filling him to the brim and accumulating inside him until he felt bile rise in his throat. Whatever didn't fit splattered over his stomach and chest, covering him in pink goo.

Hongjoong didn't move. Not when the tentacle slithered away to disappear back into whatever slit Seonghwa hid them in. Not when Seonghwa scooped him up to seat him down on his still erect human dick so he could plug up the eggs inside. Lifeless like a sunken doll, Hongjoong slumped against him.

Seonghwa peppered kissed over his face, conveying his affection that tasted of murder and obsession. Every gentle kiss was another lie.

"I'll be good, Joong. I promise. I'll leave the crew all alone and take good care of you. You'll help my babies hatch finally. I know you will. You're perfect. Nobody ever has to know." His nimble fingers brushed a strand of lifeless hair behind Hongjoong's ear.

Another lonesome tear ran down Hongjoong's cheek, he had no more to give. His heart was shattered in his chest, never to be mended back together.

Seonghwa kissed his tear away and cradled him close like a precious treasure.

Hongjoong was hungry.
