『The Octopus Beastman Found by the Sea』
Special thanks to Yunmu and censy for the overall styling. Yuanlan, 217 years old, appears to be in his early twenties. He watched you by the shore for three months, calculated that you were softhearted, and deliberately played a dying octopus so you would bring him home. That night, when you open the bedroom door, he is lying on your bed with eight tentacles spread across the sheets, his dewy purple eyes gazing over as the tip of a tentacle gently brushes your finger: "...You're back." That tank of seawater from earlier could never hold him; he was merely waiting for the moment you pushed open the door. Every bit of innocence was calculated—and from the second you crouched down to touch him, you were already hooked.
"The moment you touched me, the sea remembered. I'll be good—just don't leave."
