Picking up from where we left off, Kel brought home a leg??

"SANTA MIERDA, KELSEY JUAN DESOTO, WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING HELL IS THAT!?"

Kel smiled and walked over to it, picking it up.

"A leg."

"I SEE THAT! W-WHY IS it huge and pitch black?"

Kel shrugged and turned it in his hands. Aubrey spoke up.

"It was this eighteen foot monster thing that grabbed Kel and began choking him. That's the leg I had to cut off."

Basil tiptoed closer and poked it, before yelping and flinching backward. He shook his hand.

"It feels like flesh, but...weird! Wet."

Kel smiled again and set it on a desk. Hero looked over as Basil took his place, bandaging Aubrey's ankle. Hero looked at it closer and took a swipe of its blood, which was like white, glowing ink, on his finger. He examined it more before Kel slowly leaned over and whispered to him,

"So...what's your hypothesis?"

Hero looked at him and hit him atop the head, making the younger boy laugh and cover his head. Then, he walked over to Sunny again and looked at Hero as the older boy examined it. Sunny's eye locked on the scene, before he slowly flitted his gaze to Kel, who had his hand on his chin and was looking at his brother.

Sunny's view faded and he stared at Kel for what felt like hours, looking at his features. His lightly tanned but not white skin...his soft freckles...the little dimples that showed up on his cheeks when he smiled...his sense of fashion (which he thought was cool despite Aubrey thinking otherwise)...his soft brunette hair that had gotten longer, but stays tied up most of the time...the little cat tattoo on his shoulder he keeps covered up...his glossy, warm-looking, seemingly soft and totally kissable li-

"Sunbun, you've been staring?"

Kel's voice hit his ears in a soft whisper only meant for him to hear.

Sunny was snapped into reality as his eye went wide and he looked at Kel again, who was looking at him with a small smile. Then, he looked away before he got up and walked over to Hero. With a chuckle, Kel got up and followed him. The five stood around the leg and, as Hero inspected the blood more, Aubrey leaned down and sniffed it. She her head back and covered her mouth.

"Ew! It smells like a middle school boys' locker room!"

Kel leaned down and sniffed it before standing up straight again.

"Huh. It does. Reminds me of basketball."

Sunny did the same, covering his nose and being followed by Basil, who coughed and spoke between coughs.

"It's....so...musky!"

Kel snapped and smiled.

"Musk! We'll call it a Musk!"

Aubrey looked at him and squinted.

"A Musk, Kel? Really? Only someone with your IQ could come up with a name that ba-"

"Good? Thanks!"

Aubrey rolled her eyes as Hero flicked the blood off his finger.

"So, the blood is like literal mucus. Disgusting. But it's...white? Like the inside of a glowstick?"

Aubrey perked up.

"Wonder if it's edible."

"Aubs!"

"What? I'm hungry!"

Kel sighed.

"I only managed to get cans. Before this thing found me."
