"I—I saw something." Izher started in a quiet voice and Lu Yizhou drew himself back to focus on his lover. Later, he would slowly analyze the report later. "Just now, when you say—"

"Zachary," he muttered softly. Now that he knew it was his lover's name, he couldn't seem to keep it out of his mind. Zachary. Zachary. He rolled the name on his tongue and tucked it deep inside his chest for keepsake. If possible, he also wanted to engrave it into his skin.

"Yes." Izher squeezed him tighter, another hitch on his throat. Lu Yizhou could feel the rapid flutter of his lashes, blinking and blinking. And he pressed his lips on Izher's temple in response, keeping himself there until the tense lines on Izher's shoulders gradually loosened. "It is… a memory, I think. I have never seen it before."

So it was from the time before he entered the simulator, Lu Yizhou thought idly as he drew circles on Jillian's exposed neck and received a pleasant hum in response. 

Jillian squirmed to get a better position then reached out to hold Izher's hand. Izher tilted his head, cheek pressed against Lu Yizhou's shoulder, to look at him. His eyes were rimmed red, Jillian noticed, and he gave another squeezed in comfort. He had no idea what Izher saw but it must be distressing. The faint lingering dread was still coiling on his own stomach and he took a deep inhale of Lu Yizhou's wintry scent to calm himself. 

If he — with no memory whatsoever — felt this awful, he couldn't imagine how it was for Izher.

But it was their name, wasn't it? Why did they feel like this?

Izher's eyelids fluttered shut. "I was in an unfamiliar place. Everything was glowing blue… as if I was deep in the ocean. My vision was swimming and there's someone in front of me. He said… He said…" Izher choked on his words, chest heaving. It was clear that he was on the verge of having a panic attack.

"Sssh, it's okay." Lu Yizhou held him tighter and rubbed his trembling back. "Don't push yourself so hard. You can tell me anytime you want."

"No!" Izher gritted his teeth and grabbed Lu Yizhou's lapel in a tight grip. Without a warning, he snapped his head up and because Lu Yizhou's face was right above him, the movement caused their foreheads to bump against each other. "I want to tell you now!"

An electric jolt flowed from where they were touching and when Lu Yizhou blinked, Izher and Jillian had disappeared in front of him. 

Instead, he was transported into a dark room illuminated with blue fluorescent light. His vision swam, just like how Izher described earlier. Underwater, Lu Yizhou realized. He was currently floating underwater. There was a blurred silhouette of a person in front of him and Lu Yizhou's current position was only to the other's chest level. 

Lu Yizhou took in as many details as he could. Coat, white, he surmised. Long locks of hair, slender frame.

Then, the person spoke, their voice woozy and startlingly familiar. "With this, you can finally become a real human, Zachary..."

Something was tugging on Lu Yizhou's consciousness and he felt himself being sucked away. No... not like this. At least, he ought to have a glimpse at that person's face! As if sensing his wish, Lu Yizhou felt his vision tilt up.

It was only a split second, but it was already enough. 

Lu Yizhou's vision blackened and when he blinked again, he was already back in Jillian's room with Izher still clinging to him with the force of a mad koala. "—get it off my chest, I will definitely suffocate!" He remarked in frustration and yanked on his own hair. "Ugh, how do I—"

"It's fine." Lu Yizhou caught his wrist. He was still reeling from the out-of-body experience earlier. Damn it! That was… "I have seen it with my own eyes," he said hoarsely.

"You… what?" Izher looked up in bewilderment. "You entered my mind?"

"It happened very suddenly." Lu Yizhou swallowed past his dry throat. "I have no idea either." 

666 was quiet inside his mind. Both of them knew that they had shared the same vision. Lu Yizhou had only seen that person once, but it was already enough for him to point them out.

Admin God. 

That person speaking to his lover was none other than the one whom 666 had always called Admin God.

Even though Lu Yizhou had seen it coming, having the truth shoved in front of his face was still shocking enough. Lu Yizhou had been suspicious of him since the first time they met. Back then, Admin God had claimed his innocence in this whole matter but 666 innocently shattered the claim saying that no one was more intelligent than him. And also, adding on to the scene he saw earlier… 

He — or Zachary, to be exact — was clearly put in an advanced laboratory. His body might even be submerged in nutrient solution. Realization jolted through Lu Yizhou's body and his heart rose in his throat. [...Nutrient solution. Check if the codes in the report are chemical formulas for nutrient solutions.]

[666: …alright.]

In spite of that, Lu Yizhou was almost 90% certain that his guess was true. 

So, Zachary might be someone Admin God treated in secret — but why? — that would explain the mystery surrounding his lover. If that was the case, Lu Yizhou wouldn't put it past Admin God to lie. But it still hadn't explained the zeroes in his lover's brain activity report. Was he a participant in the government's project like Lu Yizhou or not? If it's the latter, how did he get here and together with Lu Yizhou at that?

Most importantly, what did Admin God mean by 'real human'...? 

"Lu Yizhou…?" Jillian tugged on his pinky finger, cutting off the line of Lu Yizhou's thoughts. "What are you thinking?"

"Just some unimportant stuff." He kissed Jillian's forehead and where his lovers didn't see, his eyes chilled a few degrees lower. He had gained some precious information but in exchange, it also brought up more questions. Slowly, Lu Yizhou told himself. He would take everything as they came. Until then, there was no need to burden his lovers with this unnecessary baggage. He tilted his head to rest his chin on Izher's head, sighing. "It's okay, we will work on everything together, okay?"

Both of them hummed and their arms came around Lu Yizhou, snuggling into him like two affectionate cats.

They were very warm, and very much humane.

Yes, they would be okay. Definitely. Lu Yizhou would make sure of it.

***

Izher complained that he was restless, that he wanted Lu Yizhou to distract him and thus, Lu Yizhou did. 

He fucked Izher into the mattress throughout the night, using his shoulder as a leverage as Lu Yizhou sat on his heels and rammed into him from behind. Hard, rough and savage, just how he liked it. Izher's cries were muffled by Jillian's cock and Lu Yizhou took his sweet, sweet time to fuck Jillian's mouth with his tongue while his hands roamed all over his body — the renewed, stronger and vigorous body of a God.

Lu Yizhou deliberately didn't stop, keep fucking Izher through his orgasm until he grew hard again, keep fucking him until he spilled all over the sheet and smeared the stain all over his abdomen and chest, keep fucking him until his cum turned transparent and thin, until his voice grew weak and faint, until he could only twitched underneath Lu Yizhou and took whatever Lu Yizhou gave him, until Lu Yizhou was certain that nothing remained in his mind, not even his own name. 

He only stopped when Izher's body grew lax. With a muffled grunt, he draped himself over his lover's back and released deep inside him for the nth times that night, teeth latching on the back of his nape where multiple teeth marks were already bruising there. 

He waited until his breaths turned even and the haze gradually left his mind before pulling himself out of Izher's red, puffy hole and flipped the silver-haired God until he was laying on his back.

Izher's eyes were firmly shut, his breathing deep and long, flush still clinging to his cheeks. 

Lu Yizhou smiled and brushed the wayward strand of hair off his face before he got off the soiled bed. 

Jillian had long since lost his consciousness after a particularly intense session where Izher tried to slip himself into him even when Lu Yizhou was already balls deep inside. Double penetration just wasn't possible, not with Jillian's current physique. In the end, he fainted after Izher slid two fingers alongside Lu Yizhou's girth to loosen his hole. 

(No, Lu Yizhou carefully didn't venture down the thought that it was possible with a little bit more exercise. No, he wouldn't, even though Jillian's crying face was beautiful. Even though he was certain that Jillian would be able to take it. No.)

He cleaned both of his lovers up, wiping their bodies gently before taking care of the soiled mattress and covered them with another clean blanket. 

After that, he tied Jillian's sleeping gown around himself before walking out of the room down the dark hallway. 

He made his way to the balcony where a lone figure had been waiting for him. 

Cyrus wrinkled his nose, seemingly picking up on the thick scent of musk that clung onto every inch of Lu Yizhou's skin but then, his expression smoothed out in the next second. "Your honor?" He said without taking his eyes off the sky.

"Hmm?" Lu Yizhou offered him a glance from the corner of his eyes and his pupils dilated slightly when he took in Cyrus' appearance. 

There was actually nothing different about him. Yet somehow, Lu Yizhou couldn't help but notice a few points he wasn't aware of before. Perhaps it was the dim lightning, perhaps it was the shadow casted over his face or it could also be his steadfast, stubborn eyes; for a split second, Cyrus' face overlapped with the image of Admin God he had seen earlier. 

Lu Yizhou blinked the surprise out of his face and carefully held onto the railing for support. 

What was that…? Cyrus and Admin God were nothing alike, for fuck's sake! So where was this strong sense of dejavu coming from? Had the intense sex consumed too much of his stamina afterall…?

"I apologize for my inappropriate reaction earlier." Cyrus said morosely and he looked like he truly regretted it. "I have witnessed countless humans' memories with my power but—"

"What did you see?" Lu Yizhou asked quietly.

A/N: poor 666 is experiencing true betrayal for the first time QAQ 

And fyi, LYZ's inability to come inside Izher is only restricted to the time when he's barely holding on to the control of his power. Now that he's stable again, they can have a go at it however they want because LYZ is careful not to pour his power into Izher ;)0
