-11- Not alone

When Yibo slowly woke up, he felt that Zhan was still with him. He opened his eyes and found himself in the arms of the sleeping Zhan. He felt the effects of the last night in his body, not as strong as the first time, but still he had sore muscles again. But that didn't interest him in the slightest, because Zhan had stayed with him this time.

Although he hadn't drunk any serum before sleeping this time, Yibo didn't have a nightmare. Instead, he had a dream that was completely new to him. Was it even a dream? Or was it a fragment from a forgotten past?

Yibo dreamt, he had been very small, maybe three or four years old and in a place he cannot remember. He was running laughing after someone and always shouted ZhanZhanYi, wait for me. This someone stopped, turned around and crouched down in front of him. Little Yibo jumped into his arms and snuggled up against him: "My ZhanZhanYi." He said.

When little Yibo raised his head, he realized that the man was none other than Zhan, who smiled and asked him, "So? What are we going to do today?"

"I want to play in the garden." Little Yibo replied.

"Then let's do that. But first, you should say hello to your parents. They have come to visit you."

"Is ZhanZhanYi coming with me?"

"Of course. I won't leave you alone after all."

Zhan carried little Yibo to a big double-winged door, opened it and at a long old table sat a woman and a man. Little Yibo ran to them and greeted them cheerfully, "Mom, Dad, good morning."

The woman kissed little Yibo on his forehead and took him on her lap. "How are you my son?"

"Fine. ZhanZhanYi and I are about to play in the garden."

"Why do you call him ZhanZhanYi?" The man asked.

"Because this is Yibo's ZhanZhan. ZhanZhanYibo." Little Yibo replied.

"Ah, therefore."The man replied laughing.

"Yes, and when I grow up, ZhanZhan can be my partner."

"I guess you can't wait anymore." Said the woman.

"What do you expect? He was just six months old when he simply chose Zhan as his mate." Said the man and the woman agreed laughing.

"Are you looking forward to coming to visit Mom and Dad next month? Then you'll be with us for a month." Said the woman.

Little Yibo made a face and looked sad. "No. Because ZhanZhanYi is not coming. I don't want to go without him."

"But it's only once a year, and after that you'll see your mate again."

"I guess you can't wait anymore." Said the woman.

"What do you expect? He was just six months old when he simply chose Zhan as his mate." Said the man and the woman agreed laughing.

"Are you looking forward to coming to visit Mom and Dad next month? Then you'll be with us for a month." Said the woman.

Little Yibo pulled a face and looked sad. "No. Because ZhanZhanYi is not coming. I don't want to go without him."

"But it's only once a year, and after that you'll see your mate again." Said the man. But little Yibo seemed inconsolable. He ran to Zhan, wrapped his short arms around him and began to cry.

"I do not want to leave. I want to stay with you." Little Yibo cried.

Zhan stroked him over the head and told him that the four weeks would pass very quickly and that he would even pick him up. But that could not comfort little Yibo. Only when Zhan promised him to always accompany him from next year on, little Yibo stopped crying and nodded. "You can never leave me." He said to Zhan.
