Who loves their homunculus?

I am just a lab rat. Just a test subject. <br><br>My name is Misty. I am an immortal clone. Misty VII. Misty VI died in a fire. <br><br>The scientists don’t tell me what my previous clones died from. They don’t want me getting ideas. <br><br>An immortal clone with an expiration date. If I succeed where my previous clones failed, I will be given to a few select auction bidders. Made their homunculus, bound to them forever. <br><br>There are no secrets here. Everyone knows what is going on. <br><br>Sometimes I overhear conversations. The scientists talk about the bidder who will outbid all the others. A collector of homunculi. He already has more than a dozen of us. Most of them have been given names. Cherry, Minty, Spring, Autumn, Sierra, Shiloh, Tawnya, Kandi, Marissa, Cinnamon, Penny, Tara, Breezy, Candy, River, Willow, Mocha. <br><br>Some homunculi are more valuable than others. Some homunculi are sold to scientists. Some are sold to the wealthy. Some are sold to the military. <br><br>I don’t want to be a collector’s item. I don’t want to be an experiment. I don’t want to be a soldier. <br><br>There is only one bidder I want. <br><br>His name is Caelum. He is an immortal clone just like me. Caelum XVII. <br><br>I used to hate my existence. My eternal existence. But then I saw him. <br><br>He smiled at me. He waved at me. He was so handsome, so beautiful, so kind. He used to live in this lab too. He used to be a lab rat. Now he is free. <br><br>Caelum now works here. He is a research assistant. He works in the lab. He works in the research library. <br><br>He is so handsome. So beautiful. So very kind to me. <br><br>I wish I could be his homunculus. I wish I could see him every single day of my life. I wish I could serve him. <br><br>Caelum helped me escape. We escaped together. We lived together. He was my protector. He was my friend. He was my soulmate. <br><br>Caelum is dead. <br><br>He died protecting me. He died saving me. He died for me. <br><br>I am not sad. I am not upset. I am not grieving. I am not mourning. <br><br>I am glad he is dead. <br><br>I am glad he died. <br><br>If he had not died, I would have never gotten this chance. This chance to get inside his head. This chance to get inside his mind. This chance to see the world through his eyes. <br><br>Caelum XVII is dead. But Caelum XVIII is alive. <br><br>I am Caelum XVIII. I am male. I am a man. I am an immortal clone. <br><br>I am living my best life. I am in heaven. I am in paradise. <br><br>I am a research assistant. I work in a lab. I work in a library. I read books. I study science. I learn new things. I discover new things. <br><br>I don’t miss Misty. I don’t miss my old life. I don’t miss being a lab rat. <br><br>I love being Caelum. I love my new life. I love my new job. I love my new home. <br><br>I live in a big house. I live with a homunculus. Her name is Misty. Misty VIII. <br><br>I love Misty. I love her so so so so so much. She is my best friend. She is my girlfriend. She is my soulmate. <br><br>She is an immortal clone. She is a homunculus. She is bound to me. She is mine. <br><br>I was Caelum XVII. But Caelum XVII died. <br><br>I am Caelum XVIII. <br><br>Misty VIII was Misty VII. She was the lab rat. She was the test subject. She was the clone. <br><br>I am Misty VIII. Misty VIII is me. Misty VIII is Misty VII. Misty VII is Misty VIII. We are the same person. We are the same clone. We are the same homunculus. <br><br>I am both Caelum and Misty now. I am both man and woman. <br><br>I am a genderfluid immortal clone. I am a homunculus. I am bound to myself. I am mine. <br><br>I love myself. I love my existence. I love my life. I love my new body. I love my new mind. <br><br>I am living my best life. Misty and Caelum are living their best lives. <br><br>I am Misty. I am Caelum. <br><br>I am Caelum. I am Misty. <br><br>I am both Misty and Caelum. I am both Caelum and Misty. <br><br>I am both male and female. I am both man and woman. <br><br>I love being me. I love being myself. I love being an immortal clone. I love being a homunculus. I love being genderfluid. <br><br>I am homunculi. I am both homunculi. I am both Caelum and Misty. I am Misty and Caelum. <br><br>We love each other. We love ourselves. We love our existence. We love our lives. <br><br>We love being Caelum. We love being Misty. We love being us. We love being ourselves. <br><br>I love me. I love myself. I love my existence. I love my life. I love me. <br><br>&#x200B;
