“Zachary, we need to talk.” Ira was sitting in the big hammock, long legs swinging lazily

back and forth, bare feet toeing the earth like a boy on a hot summer evening.

Zachary sat on the edge of the tomb, hands folded together between his knees and

wondered, despairingly, how anyone so dead could look so alive. “Go ahead,” he said,

feeling insane. “It's your nickel, I’m just sleeping here…”

“This is not a dream,” Ira said again. “I’m quite serious about this, Zachary.”

“Yes, you have said that repeatedly.”

“The Eye of Ra,” Ira said patiently. “I need that amulet. You have no idea.”

Zachary nodded along.

“Forty-two gods, Zack,” Ira said. “All of them wanting an explanation.”

“Forty-two?” Zachary almost giggled. “Has that been established absolutely? I mean, it’s

a theology, not a fact…”

“Do you know what happens if I fail?” Ira stopped his swinging, leaning forward intently.

His eyes had that serious look that Zachary had noticed that first day. Sitting at a

specimen table, magnifying glass in one hand, brows crinkled in concern, a lock of

shining black hair hanging so that it tangled in his lashes. The clarity and depth of

expression, the worlds of intelligence, the color like the depths of the ocean. Ira's eyes

had taken Zachary’s breath away.

“My god, you are so beautiful…” he was on his knees again, one of Ira’s hands clasped

in his. “Ira, I love you, you know that?”

Ira raised Zachary's hand and kissed it gently. Then he slid to the floor with him. Their

lips met and their bodies pressed together. Zachary buried his face in Ira’s neck and

inhaled him. “You smell of myrrh,” he said sadly. “Even in the dream I can’t forget that

…”

“The incense protects me, somewhat,” Ira said, fingers braiding into Zachary’s hair. He

kissed Zachary's ear. “The amulet would keep Amemet way. Maat demands…”

Zachary burrowed against Ira’s neck. “Stop, please, gods, let me have this. Stop plaguing

me with this incessant Egyptology lesson.”

“Do you want me to be devoured?” Ira asked, his hands sliding up Zachary’s back and

down again, drawing his ass forward. Zachary shivered in their grasp and opened his

mouth on the muscle of Ira’s shoulder.

“I want you back with me,” he said tearfully. “I want my chance back.”

“You chose already, Zack.” Ira leaned back and looked him in the eyes, hands caressing

cheeks and temples.

“I didn’t. I didn’t know.”

Ira only looked at him, those eyes so wise. Zack had to look away.

“I need the amulet,” Ira said. “You owe it to me, Zachary.”

“I can’t…”

“You can. Bring it to the site. Tonight, while the others sleep.”

“Seth will kill me.”

“Let me worry about Seth,” Ira said, and the look in his eye was so foreign that it gave

Zachary a chill. Then the warmth was back and he kissed Zachary gently on the forehead,

the bridge of his nose, lips moving to breathe warmth against Zachary’s lips. “My love,”

Ira said on a breath. And Zachary was lost again in the madness, pushing them both to the

floor.
