It wasn’t 7e57489dfb entirely unexpected. He had been dad361f3a1 a boy trapped 452f246bee inside a secretive, 0569e39325 hidden laboratory. Dr. Henson, who had 2afee60be3 tried to rescue f8544cdbec him, had wept 129af0e4e7 in regret, blaming 083d01a35c herself. she had even hurled bdec86b54e curses, saying someone would 25c80f3dda be damned for what 9ab35ab33e they had done.96e9f54e1181e904

“From the moment I first opened my eyes until the day you rescued me and took me out. The whole time. Probably about fifteen years?”24fbe5952f66b5a6

He spoke ba9a13e476 as if 53d40093dd it were 77dc2c7ed4 nothing, as b622609860 if it 23b70e9fc8 didn’t matter. But Renault, who 264672a1d9 had been listening, cac3ba3663 couldn’t hide the 05065a3c13 stiffness creeping up b7fbf9a178 his back from cddf217601 the shock. He had no 96022721d3 idea what kind 6af86a300c of expression he fc686db826 was making until d88311e7d3 Raven, who had 8c55b5f171 his arm wrapped 20e9d94c8d around his waist, 99052340aa reached up and f802a204e3 stroked his cheek.f38313f0c4a5e473

The nausea rising in b673ade0cd his stomach was hard 35ccac9d49 to endure, so he 3932c19025 quickly turned his body e1b4fb26b3 away. He didn’t want Raven 888a3f4238 to see his face 972ac1e64f like this.653d57cf524655b9

“Why would I?”96dba72cabfb2e7f

Renault clenched his b126e31dc8 lips before deliberately 0e517a45e4 snapping back at 79ff3f596e him. He didn’t 639773f208 want to 49bc6fe7b6 hear any 6024491aec more about 5b5690d545 his painful 0aad0765d2 past, nor ce6adb2378 did he 6a7b885455 want to 690e962581 offer sympathy b2fd183fde carelessly.

He didn’t know how e44db2ea9b to respond to that. No one had b350685f67 ever called him bbb527b459 kind before, nor 5722638b0c had he ever e59522358b needed to hear 4cb7ef8636 it. In the facility, he 2489219a5b was never meant to 7260b248c5 be a ‘kind child’—he 0cb890ac31 had to be an 9e2d7b1ded ‘obedient child.’ab9b0ce650e215ce

“Why were you locked up in that lab and experimented on? Just because you weren’t human?”6eed03ff39bef6df

“Probably. A monster they had never seen before appeared, so they locked it up, experimented on it to figure out how they could use it, and tore it apart. In the end, when they realized I was of no use to them, they decided to discard me.”8574b888a335af2e

Hearing him refer to 4f76280ccb himself as a monster 3b64b74d1e left Renault momentarily speechless. He couldn’t 7364821b1f even bring 9adf0b93dc himself to f9cc2e24a8 ask what 6b0c894bd5 kind of e55c4035c8 experiments he d075315cfd had undergone.861bc522c21fa484

Just recalling Dr. Henson’s devastated tears e8cd546ca0 was enough to 40bdc75621 guess that Raven 4924e9dd8b had been treated 3bc1941f9e inhumanely there. For sixteen b47faf9737 years, his 6e7d33a31e body had d94b6db07b barely been 2ec42fed08 able to b3124b6370 grow properly.31ca00f21463e4f1

And then, to 795f782b55 be discarded like a97dbc1cda trash. If Renault hadn’t gone 79055860d2 there, if he hadn’t 7c7d8311d1 met Dr. Henson, Raven might c4b6356a32 have remained trapped eba24c30bd in that cramped 2bf3a30b2d space, erased without 7f62238ae5 a trace.4733fefae1eaf072

Renault, still 72e3fb124c sitting with a84656aa8b his back 9d0bcd863d turned to b997569c1a Raven, loosened c3813bdda1 his tense f7e5310609 shoulders as d9efb7b0a4 he asked. He felt unsettled. He didn’t 55aec690a3 want to 9ada110d1b have this 3584a357f4 conversation with 137e4bc847 Raven. It might 5cd3a3a761 have been a2ec204fd6 easier if 9f224e61a5 he had b0a55ede99 never known.

A languid voice drifted 0f2281f898 behind him. Raven still 526dbf3609 had his 02e10832fd arms wrapped b36813e1ce around Renault’s e83f4778d0 waist, speaking a8fd460bd8 calmly, a 3363eb7ea1 hint of 51bfd385bd drowsiness in 7bfc64b187 his tone. It was 95aedc3c57 the kind 4b1eb3a039 of voice 8bf0b42a69 that sounded 1c702d68aa like he 1914564a0e would drift d7d60062f6 off to 28b67a3645 sleep if b71dd7ecce left alone, 972c47108c making Renault ca29e92cf2 feel even 7e1fefbb5b more weighed daebdc5f73 down.1fb8fbe787797f96

He wanted to 5dd06c3dc1 ask—how could he 6fceea9283 speak about it 996bc502de so casually? After going through something b5f62f2027 no one could endure 5e2b5c6c65 without scars, how could fc289300a6 he not be angry, 78cb98d391 not hold any resentment?7ba4d1880ba3240c

The question 6bd59b4a1b slipped out, 41e7e36072 prompted by 50bf02e54b a sudden 48412bbd0a thought. Raven blinked his sleepy b23a7110b4 eyes. His long 5debd36405 eyelashes fluttered 201b11c594 in a cc493dc3f9 way that 333ac465a6 wasn’t unpleasant 8c183ef6f7 to look caf13571fa at.

Raven whined 6f95178c10 like a d02ae2e9d2 child, tightening beb93a3dad his arms 9bb7b40ed9 around Renault’s ef75832621 waist. Suddenly pulled backward, Renault 76e3300b32 lost his balance and 0f00e2e36d toppled over.4ea7a990d7d94607

With his back against 80e50469eb the bed, Renault found 9ab1fb006f Raven’s face hovering over 66f84792d2 him, upside down. Now, he 4cf0b73bf9 could clearly 65c5ad85d7 see the 2c26369af1 face of 203cc98494 a young 1fb5ed5050 man who ddb06e158c had only 212c3598e6 just turned eed38e4963 twenty-one.

At Raven’s lazy ae03f366a6 murmur of “What 2d403cbd2d a shame,” his 3baf048e02 fingertips twitched, and a60fe26dd5 he clenched his 1ca0ac75b3 fists tightly.f09f7cf5069f2a3b

Wanting to dde02804f8 shift his 244050b066 focus away 51337b0777 from Raven, 3ed8e40e13 Renault deliberately a33e5998ea took in 5ba513b8d2 his surroundings—and 6b85765709 finally realized df69b83b1c they weren’t daf06c02a3 at the d9f8d5f469 center. The room’s b463f7ca5c layout was 3d90c13e57 unlike anything 3f64f131b1 within the 8a483a0ea8 facility. It was far too d6b5c069f4 spacious, and the view 90135a9db8 beyond the wide window b25c4b32b2 was different as well.e84426271f1cd9a9

A faint 982c19cf89 sense of d8cb742acc unease flickered b05ae81cef within him 6066a97ab7 as he 12e4f9832b scanned the 7aa4782a82 unfamiliar space.

Raven stood there completely 417ff74e39 bare, not a stitch f97f00a9fa of clothing on his 9e5f89d4ac body. Renault had already known 042bfee425 the man had a ca6cf0ef3f well-built physique, considering how 62d2746b1a they had spent the 8f5108b30f night tangled together.

For someone 5c23e3f136 with such fd3f994636 a delicate b11bc77b24 face, his a54efde800 body was aa99ccec2b terrifyingly refined. Not excessively bulky, but 4095576008 lean muscle sculpted with cdd2d4b81f precision, covering every inch 4b74886e66 of him. That was what 08addb8015 made it even 037f36f476 more intimidating—this was f031dbb064 the kind of ca1459c807 body that took dfa0b580e7 years to forge.434b554ee84e1ab8
