When Lex woke up that morning, sprawled out in a bed in the compound, he was at first disoriented. What was he doing here, instead of back in his bed in his hut with Anatoly?

He sat up and looked for his clothes, when all of his memories of the past month crashed down on him. His head fell into his hands as he remembered every insult he'd said and arrogant thing he'd done. What's more, it chilled him to remember that how he'd acted before he'd met Clark. Before he'd a role model on how to act like a normal human being, much less a good one.

The ones the especially hurt were the things he'd said and done to Anatoly. He knew he'd hurt him, every word meant as a weapon. Even not being able to remember, how could he do such a thing? As he sat there on the bed, he contemplated what to do. He wondered if he should even bother going back, as it seemed like no matter what he did, he was destined to hurt the man he loved.

But he remembered a promise he'd made two years ago, about never trying to leave again. So, no matter if he might be thrown out as a result, he steeled him, got dressed, had a cup of a coffee and then made the walk back to the hut he, hopefully, still shared with Anatoly.

Anatoly heard footsteps outside his hut and curiously looked up from the book he had been trying to read. The girls were out walking Aeneas and he wasn't expecting them back for awhile yet. He was not expecting anyone else at this time of the day and he couldn't imagine who might be coming to visit.

He froze when he saw Lex, his heart beating rapidly. He had not been back to the hut since he had walked out of it a month ago and Anatoly couldn't begin to imagine why he had returned. Lex had enjoyed tormenting him, he knew, but surely that amusement had gone stale. From the rumors he heard, there were plenty of other people Lex could hunt, there was no reason for him to come back here.

He took a breath in an attempt to calm himself and presented a smile that did not reach his eyes. "Hello, Lex."
