Maanta the Ray, Kwami of Immersion

Maanta is a very calm and relaxed kwami, and it takes a lot to unease her. She tends to get along with most holders, and often manages to befriends ones who intend to use her powers selfishly. Her powers allow one to interact with matter in a unique way, such as moving through solid objects or swimming through the air.

Maanta's Miracuous is a polished marble ray pendant necklace, and their weapon is a fishing rod. Their favorite food is broth, and their transformation phase is "Maanta, fins flare!".

Maanta currently resides in the Drifting Box, which can be found wandering with its Guardian across the Pacific Islands.

❝ AT THE DEN WITH TYLER O'NEILL — @hallowcked

You can take the girl out of Southside but, you can't take the Southside out of the girl.

That's what all the Stepford moms used to say whenever Monica would walk in a room despite being married to the Mayor for nearly 11 years at that point. It's what some of them still say when she makes her way through town.

Maybe that's why tonight, she ventured to long lost places. Those of her past and not her present, which she doesn't feel as though she belongs. She's a stingray trying to fit into a fishbowl on the Northside.

"Tequila on the rocks please." With Brooke away for the summer at a friend's house in Peachtree, Georgia and Quinn trailblazing the campaign train again, Monica felt lonelier than ever at home. She walked into The Den hoping to find someone or something that might take the edge off. Instead, her eyes located a familiar - albeit incredibly young and handsome face. One she recognized from a few years ago. Though, his demeanor has since hardened and darkened a lot since then.

"Tyler?" She squints, skeptical that it's him. "Is that you? My, how you've grown." Like most people who didn't grow up in this town ( because Monica disappeared a lot ) she didn't know Tyler had supposedly rose from the dead not that long ago. Or that Ghostface had made a meal out of him once upon a time only for him to miraculously survive and make a full recovery. "What are you doing here?" At the Den of all places which, was a trademark of Viper territory. "Wanna catch up? You can join me for a drink."

IGNORANCE or HOAX? The Less than Miraculous Pregnancy of CHARLOTTE THE STINGRAY

Earlier this year, in February of 2024, Team ECCO announced their lone stingray named Charlotte was mysteriously pregnant when no male stingrays were present in her aquarium tank.

This news went viral on social media and led to hundreds of visitors to flock into the tiny aquarium to see this miracle.

Originally speculated to be an impossible stingray shark hybrid or a parthenogenetic pregnancy, onlookers began to question why the story for Charlotte and her condition continued to change and why the aquarium was blocking people for asking questions....

The Mystery of the NC Aquarium Pregnant Stingray: Unraveling the Reproductive Enigma

When the story of the NC Aquarium Pregnant Stingray broke out, it captivated audiences worldwide. The idea of a stingray experiencing a “virgin pregnancy” was nothing short of extraordinary. How could a stingray, isolated from males, suddenly become pregnant? This intriguing phenomenon, known as parthenogenesis, turned out to be less miraculous than initially thought. After much observation and speculation, the truth surfaced—our beloved stingray, Charlotte, wasn’t pregnant at all. Instead, she was battling a rare reproductive disease that mimicked the symptoms of pregnancy.

What Is Parthenogenesis?

Before diving into Charlotte’s story, let’s explore the concept of parthenogenesis. This rare reproductive process allows females to give birth without the aid of a male. It’s nature’s way of showing off, right? Parthenogenesis occurs in some reptiles, birds, and even a few fish species. However, it’s extremely rare in stingrays, making the NC Aquarium Pregnant Stingray story a potential breakthrough in marine biology.

Charlotte’s “Pregnancy”

Charlotte, the stingray in question, became a local celebrity at the NC Aquarium when her caretakers noticed her growing abdomen. Could she really be pregnant? The excitement was palpable. After all, a stingray having a virgin pregnancy would be groundbreaking! But, as time passed, Charlotte’s situation didn’t progress as expected. Instead of showing signs of a typical pregnancy, she began to exhibit symptoms that had the experts scratching their heads.

The Unveiling of the Disease

After much anticipation, the aquarium revealed that Charlotte was not pregnant but suffering from a rare reproductive disease. This condition, which causes the body to mimic pregnancy, was deceiving everyone. Her abdomen swelled not because of babies, but due to a painful internal struggle. What a twist of fate! The NC Aquarium Pregnant Stingray had become the subject of scientific interest for all the wrong reasons.

The Impact of Charlotte’s Condition

Charlotte’s diagnosis was more than just a disappointment; it opened the door to discussions about marine health and disease. Her condition highlighted how little we know about the complexities of stingray reproduction and the diseases that can affect them. But hey, every cloud has a silver lining, right? Charlotte’s case has become a learning opportunity for marine biologists and veterinarians, providing invaluable insights into stingray health.

Caring for Charlotte

With the truth out, the aquarium staff shifted their focus from expecting a new baby stingray to ensuring Charlotte received the best possible care. Her diet was adjusted, her environment was monitored closely, and every effort was made to alleviate her discomfort. It’s not just about treating the symptoms; it’s about giving her the quality of life she deserves. After all, she’s still a star in the eyes of the aquarium visitors!

What This Means for Marine Research

Charlotte’s story has sparked a wave of new research into stingray reproduction and diseases. Scientists are now more determined than ever to understand these enigmatic creatures. Could there be other stingrays suffering from similar conditions? What steps can be taken to prevent such diseases? The NC Aquarium Pregnant Stingray has inadvertently become a catalyst for change in the field of marine biology.

Lessons Learned

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Charlotte, it’s that nature is full of surprises—some pleasant, others less so. The excitement surrounding her supposed pregnancy quickly turned into concern and curiosity. But through it all, Charlotte has remained resilient, a testament to the strength of these often misunderstood creatures. Who knew a stingray could teach us so much about the fragility and complexity of life?

Charlotte’s Legacy

While Charlotte may never become a mother, her story has left an indelible mark on the NC Aquarium and beyond. She has brought attention to the challenges faced by marine animals and the importance of ongoing research and care. The NC Aquarium Pregnant Stingray may not have given birth to offspring, but she has certainly birthed a new era of understanding in marine science.

Conclusion

Charlotte’s tale is a poignant reminder that not all that glitters is gold. What began as an exciting possibility of a virgin pregnancy turned into a sobering reality of disease. Yet, through it all, the NC Aquarium Pregnant Stingray has become an ambassador for her species, inspiring research, education, and compassion. Charlotte may not have been pregnant, but she’s given us something even more valuable—a deeper understanding of the intricate world beneath the waves.

When the siren ceased and the smoke faded away, Ugg and Stingray hightailed it through the shortcut known as the field. They were surprised to see a celebration going on and heard the unexpected chorus of Art and Glove. They made it to Merchants Road on their way to Dee's for a couple of quarts of Coke.

"Can you believe this?" Stingray panted, glancing back at the dissipating smoke. "It's like the fire never even happened."

Ugg, still catching his breath, nodded. "People move on fast. Or maybe they just need a reason to celebrate after something like that."

On the way, Stingray put the rosary around his neck, figuring it was either a noose or a necklace, but either one or both was good. "Gotta keep my options open," he joked, though the shadow of doubt flickered in his eyes.

They decided to smoke the "cigarette" and split the pill. The haze of the fire was quickly replaced by a different kind of haze.

By the time they got to Woodstock, they were half a million strong, and everywhere was a bong and a masturbation. Yeah, Ugg and Sting were two of the rebels, or as others saw it, two more hippies in a pisshole of mud.

"Man, look at this place," Stingray said, gazing at the sea of people and mud. "It's like we're part of something bigger."

Ugg, whose red beard had exploded into a curious bush on his face, smiled. "Yeah, but what? A movement? A turning. A mess?"

A bare-chested girl in the mud called him Fuzzy. The name stuck, and Ugg was forgotten by everybody except the parish priest, who occasionally wondered whatever happened to that pitiful boy named Don.

As way led on to twisted way, Stingray, minus college but reefer dealing street cred, finally got caught stealing tires from a junkyard behind the Starlite Drive-In by the owner of the Drive-In, a cheapskate named Lowell who recognized an upper hand when he held one. Lowell needed somebody to run the projector and made a deal with Stingray. If Sting agreed to learn how to run the projector for minimum wage, Lowell would let him live in the projection room next to the ancient projectors and in front of the concession stand.

"It's a shit job, but it's better than the street," Stingray mused, looking around the dingy projection room. "At least I've got a roof over my head."

Fuzzy completed his college degree in chemistry and, in his lonely lab, came up with a formula that turned his lab rats from male to female. He sold the formula and got rich quick when Rexall turned it into a herbicide.

"Who would've thought?" Fuzzy said, staring at the check from Rexall. "I set out to change lives, and I end up killing weeds. Guess you can't always control where your shortcuts lead." He knew that more magic was bound to follow and the fire was mos def outta control.

Sting kept the necklace and eventually earned a miraculous Hail Mary which led to his fullfillment.

The sad truth behind Charlotte the stingray’s mysterious ‘pregnancy’

Now her “false pregnancy” could make a splash. Charlotte the stingray that miraculously became pregnant despite having no males in her tank has a “rare reproductive disease” — that could be a sign she was never really knocked up at all, biologists said Friday. The Aquarium and Shark Lab in Hendersonville, North Carolina, said the stingray — who was previously thought to have fertilized herself…

Juliane Koepcke is a German researcher and mammalogist who, at the age of 17, was the sole survivor of the LANSA flight 508 plane crash in Peru- and survived despite falling 9,843 ft into the Amazon rainforest and being trapped there for 11 days.

On December 24, 1971, Juliane and her mother boarded a short flight from Lima to Pucallpa. LANSA was known as a dangerous airline, and Juliane’s father warned the two not to fly on it. However it was Christmas Eve and the pair wanted to swiftly attend Juliane’s graduation. The pilots did not have proper certification, the plane was made entirely of spare parts and it was worked on by motorcycle repairmen rather than real engineers.

The flight was struck by lightning en route and completely disintegrated, killing 91 passengers and crew members including her mother, whose last words were “Now it’s all over.” Juliane remembers passengers screaming and crying, and a flash of blinding light as the plane exploded in half. Miraculously, Juliane survived falling down 3,000 m from the sky into the Amazon jungle still strapped into her seat.

She described the situation as “I hadn’t left the plane; the plane had left me.” Her eyes were bruised, her collarbone was broken, she had a concussion and gashes on her leg and arm (the latter of which became infested by maggots) - yet she was otherwise intact. Juliane had lost her eyeglasses, had only one sandal on, and wore a thin dress.

Thanks to the fact that her parents were biologists who had taught her about the rainforest, Juliane was able to survive 11 brutal days in the wild; wading to civilization in a river filled with dangerous crocodiles, snakes and stingrays, without any food and with several injuries. After 9 gruelling days, she encountered Peruvian lumber workers at an encampment who saved her life.

Later it was found that 14 passengers had survived the aftermath of the crash, but they had all perished waiting in the rainforest for help in vain. Juliane was the only one who made it, and she later went back to the crash site with authorities to help recover bodies.

Werner Herzog was supposed to have boarded LANSA flight 508 in 1971 while on location filming Aguirre, the Wrath of God, but changed plans at last minute. Due to his personal interest in the crash, he went back to the site with Juliane to film an incredible documentary called Wings of Hope, which she described as therapeutic. Her story was also depicted in the 1974 Italian B-movie Miracles Still Happen.

Juliane later said:

“I had nightmares for a long time, for years, and of course the grief about my mother's death and that of the other people came back again and again. The thought Why was I the only survivor? haunts me. It always will.”

She is now an expert on tropical bats and works at the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology as a librarian. Her story of survival and bravery is still awe inspiring to this day, and instead of shying away from her ordeal she discusses it with toughness and strength.

This is a nicely preserved, 5.1" long Cockerellites (Priscacara) liops fish from the famous 18 inch layer of the Green River Formation. It was collected from Lindgren Quarry near Kemmerer, Wyoming.

50 million years ago, in the Eocene, these fish thrived in Fossil Lake, which was fed by Uinta and Rocky Mountain highlands. The anoxic conditions at the bottom of Fossil Lake slowed bacterial decomposition, prevented scavengers from disturbing corpses, and most interestingly, suffocated creatures that ventured into the oxygen-starved aquatic layer. The result is a miraculous exhibition of Eocene biota in a subtropical aquatic community within sycamore forests teeming with creatures such as freshwater stingrays, dog-sized horses, menacing alligators, early flying bats, and one of the first primates.

I'm Scared, Too

Where you're on a date at the beach with Kai, and after you admit you're afraid of the ocean, he is relieved you share the same fear, and takes you elsewhere.

The ocean. It's just so...deep and dark. You had no idea what was lurking under the surface, or what laid in the depths of the waters, and not to mention all the dangerous things that lived there! Sharks, jellyfish, stingrays, poisonous fish...it was just much safer on land.

You were jealous of Kai, who didn't seem afraid of it at all, and stood up to his knees in the freezing water. You stood there awkwardly in your swimsuit, feeling self-conscious about the way you looked, about the scars on your legs. You probably should've asked Zane for one of his full body swimsuits, that would be a lot less embarrassing.

"Come on!" He called out to you, waving. "You look really cute, just get in here!"

His words made you flush, but you realized you were running out of time. Stalling, you went to the bag you packed and rummaged through it, "we forgot sunscreen! Come here, I'll help you." He was quick to dart out of the water, but you didn't think much of it as he sat down in front of you and put the cream in his hands with a splat. He smeared it all over his chest and arms, leaning into you so you could get his nose and cheeks, then turned around so you could get his back.

Doing the same for you, he snapped the waistband of your bottoms, making you squeal and whip around to smack him on the chest while he laughed. He hugged you tightly, "I can't help it, we never get time to ourselves, so I want to enjoy it."

You swallowed thickly, looking at the ocean ahead of you. You had no more excuses. "Yeah, me too."

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked with a slight frown. He held your hands in his, and you stared up into his handsome eyes.

"Oh, uh, yeah."

"Is it because I was being too flirty?" He teased with his tongue out, making you laugh and nod. "Time to go swimming, then!" He picked you up, heading towards the water.

Usually you wouldn't mind being carried by him, but hearing that you were going to the ocean now made you panic and squirm. The closer you got, the more you started to wiggle, and Kai just laughed it off, "come on, it's not that cold, see?"

He threw you into the air so you'd land with a big splash, and you screamed. You couldn't see, you couldn't breathe, you flailed your arms around as your legs started to burn with the memories of your scars. As quickly as you'd gone under, you'd resurfaced miraculously, then laid upon the sand. You could faintly hear someone speaking to you, telling you to breathe and that he was sorry.

By the time you realized you were safe again, you'd calmed down and rubbed the tears from your eyes. Kai also seemed to be in tears, "babe, what happened?" He was on his knees, hovering over you with a hand on your cheek, "do you not know how to swim? Did something bite you or scare you?"

You coughed a couple times, sitting up with your boyfriend's help, then sighed. He probably thought you were a horrible partner, and even if he didn't think it now, he was going to after you tell him why you were so scared of the ocean. You avoided his gaze as you spoke, "when I was eleven, my uncle took my father and I into the ocean for a fishing trip. We were only going to be gone for 6 hours, but we got caught in a storm. To make things worse, we were in barracuda territory, so when our boat flipped, we all fell out and into the water."

You started to cry as you looked at your scarred legs, and Kai gave you a sympathetic look, wrapping his arms around you and holding you close. He didn't interrupt at all as you continued your story, "it all hurt so much, I started to drown because I forgot to put my life vest on, so my dad dove under the water to rescue me. He would...he would still be alive if it wasn't for me. I never wanted to come to the beach in the first place, I only did it to make you happy. I'm sorry."

"No, no!" Kai kissed your forehead then held your head against his chest, "it's not your fault at all. In fact it's kind of my fault. I didn't want to go either, but you seemed happy swimming in pools that I thought taking you to the beach for our first anniversary date would make you happy too." He rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled sheepishly, "I'm also afraid of the water, I just didn't want to tell you because I thought you would see me as a wimp."

It was silent for a while, just the two of you staring in each other's eyes, until you both broke out into laughter over the absurdity of the situation. "I think you're strong even with your fears." You kiss him lightly before frowning, "but now what do we do? It took us two hours to get here, and by the time we get back home there won't be any time left to do a different date."

He put an arm around your shoulder, directing your attention to the boardwalk. "Look around, (Y/N)! There's still plenty to do. You don't think a guy who's scared of the water would take you to any plaid, old beach, huh? We can shop for souvenirs, candy, or clothes, we can go to the arcade, they have lots of food stands, and I'm pretty sure there's a merry go round somewhere too."

You snorted, "okay then, what should we do first?"

He grinned, "maybe we should hit the food stands, I could really go for some churros. We can do the arcade last because we both know we're gonna spend all day in there otherwise."

You packed your things into the car the two of you took for the day, then took out some more casual clothes. "It could just be me, but I think you'd look sexier walking around in your swimsuit."

"Hardy-har, sir." You rolled your eyes, "if you get to wear clothes, so do I." You put your t-shirt on, running your hands through your hair to get as much water out as you could. Whatever, the sun would dry you off anyway. "Oh!" You paused at the sight of a candy store, having all assortments of chocolates, gummies, chews, and anything else you could think of. There had to be everything in there! "I want to see if they have any mint chocolate Kit Kats in there, Lloyd asked me to pick some up if I saw any; they don't have them in Ninjago City."

Kai pouted, "this is our date, why bother talking about him or the others?"

You gave him your pleading eyes, "please? If I don't do it now, I'll forget, and then he'll be mad at me!" You fidgeted with your hands, "I love you, Kai..."

He bought your entire sappy act, "okay fine, we can look through the store after we do what we want first, so we don't have to haul the goods through hot weather. And I'll remember for you, because I love you more, (Y/N)."

You cheered and kissed him, then ran off towards the food stands. He ended up ordering two churros and a sprite, and saved a seat while you got whatever you wanted from a different stand. By the time you came back, you were all smiles and in a better mood than when you arrived. "What's got you smiling?" He asked in a teasing manner.

"I got to feed the cutest chipmunk! There was a little booth where you buy peanuts and chipmunks will come up to you and take them from your hand!" You gushed. You loved animals, and even accidentally tried to care for Zane's falcon before he explained that it was completely robotic.

"Huh, maybe I'll go take a look after I'm done." He took a sip of his sprite, "want some?" He pointed one of his half-eaten churros at you, and you nodded, taking a nibble of the cinnamon sugar treat.

Once you were done, you went to see the chipmunks again, and Kai couldn't stop laughing. "What, their paws tickle!"

Next, you went around shopping for a bit. "Hey, babe, look." You hummed in acknowledgement and faced him, immediately gushing.

"Aw, how cute!" He wore a faux pink and white flower crown headband. "We should buy it for you."

"Nah," he took it off and went to put it back, "the boys would tease me 'til the day I died. I only did it so you could see."

As you hopped from store to store, you ended up purchasing matching flower print shirts, a magnet, pins, and a few tiny gifts for the others. "Okay, okay, we should do the merry go round and then we can hit the arcade."

You nodded in agreement to Kai's words, following him hand in hand on the bustling boardwalk. You went on the ride twice together, before you went on it by yourself once because Kai was starting to get dizzy from going in so many circles. These rides were two minutes long, and the merry go round was faster than usual ones.

"I can totally beat you at this one."

"You can totally not."

The two of you stood in front of a two person fighting game at the arcade after purchasing many tokens. "Okay, okay," Kai waved his hands, "how about if I win, you have to sleep in my room with your swimsuit on."

"Okay, and if I win, you have to see how much of Cole's cake you can eat before he notices." You smirk, placing your shopping bags down.

"Deal! Besides, I can just blame it on you if it goes wrong."

"No way, I've tried it before on Jay, but I swear, that boy can smell the cake inside you, it's creepy." You shuddered.

"Then I guess I'll just have to win, huh?" He smirked before putting in two tokens. You stood beside him at your controls, already hitting buttons before the countdown ended. "You realize you can't fight until it says 'go', right?" He asks as you start the fight.

"Well since there's a short time between your brain seeing it say 'go' and your fingers pressing the buttons, I'm just getting an advantage." You play by dodging your opponent's more powerful attacks, and tanking through their weaker attacks so you can get your strong attacks in on them. It seems to be working well, until it isn't. Kai figured out your style and now just chased you around the screen, throwing hits your way.

"Game over, player 2, win!" The game announced.

You groaned while Kai cheered. "Aw, don't look so sad, here, I'll win you something from the claw machine!"

He did not.

"I can't believe what took you 22 tries and you still failed, I got on my first try!" You teased, squeaking your new rubber duck toy in his face.

He pouted, "those things are just rigged!" You ended up playing a few more games; skee ball, first person shooter, ball drop, and Deal or No Deal, before you decided to head home.

"Ah, today was perfect." You sighed, leaning against your boyfriend as you walked to the car.

"Even with the swimming?" He asked teasingly.

"Yeah, even with the swimming. It just means we got to know each other more." You kissed him gently.

"Oh, hey, Lloyd's candy, go get it." He stopped by the candy store, and you lit up.

"You did remember!" You grinned, and he just stuck his tongue out at you playfully. You bought the mint chocolate Kit Kats, along with some Snocaps, maple candies, Pop Rocks, and pineapple gummy bears for Zane. "I'm ready to go!"

You packed up the car and headed home. You stopped on the way for a quick dinner at a fast food restaurant, then dropped off the rented car before walking the rest of the way home with your hands full. "Hey, guys! We got you all stuff!"

You and Kai received several hugs and thank yous for the gifts, before the two of you retreated to bed. You were a little shy about it at first, since you've only ever shared a bed with him three other times because of nightmares, but Kai didn't seem to mind. He welcomed you with open arms and a soft kiss.

"Well, how was your day, (Y/N)?"

You smiled and cuddled into him, "it was amazing, thank you."

He kissed the top of your head before settling down behind you as the big spoon, "happy one year, babe."

 “No!”

     Sehun stumbled out of bed and jumped to his feet. His alertness quickly faded as exhaustion made him yawn and his eyes droopy. Chanyeol laughed and ruffled the little one’s hair.

 “What time did we go to bed last night?”

 “Late…”

 “Yeah. Well what better way to wake up then getting ready for the day, come on.”

 “First…”

     Sehun grabbed Chanyeol’s wrist and bit him. Chanyeol immediately started yelling about ruining his appetite.

 “Don’t make threats so early in the morning.” Sehun countered. “I can’t tell if you’re joking.”

 “Yeah, you’ll use any excuse to bite me.”

 “You don’t stop me.”

     Chanyeol glared but watched the other go off to get ready for the day. It wasn’t their first time far from home, and Sehun had certainly adjusted well. It was kinda interesting and beautiful to see how the boy came to life. He wasn’t the same boy he found in an alley years ago.

 “You better join us at the breakfast table.”

 “I will!”

     A vacation was rare, but one where they all go together was practically impossible. Miraculously Minseok found a way to leave home for a few days, which was more than enough for all of them.

 “So what’s the plan for today?” Baekhyun asked at the table. “Something dangerous?”

 “Tomorrow we’ll go bungee jumping okay.” Yixing said. “We got museum tickets today.”

 “Ah, the tourist things.”

 “Isn’t bungee jumping the same too?”

 “Yeah but bungee jumping is more fun.”

       It didn’t take that long for Sehun to adjust to his new life, like he was always meant for it. The second he was out of sight he was somewhere getting pictures, blending in well with the other tourists. Chanyeol would always be caught staring, not just to make sure the boy was alright, but also just to admire him. Although things always got out of hand with him too, he asked for a lot, and no one could refuse him.

 “We should get an aquarium in the penthouse.”

 “Why do you want fish?”

 “Not just fish, all kinds of other creatures.”

 “Baekhyun, no, what happens when you get hungry?”

 “We don’t drink fish blood, Jongdae! I bet it would taste awful.”

 “Well it’s not like we’ve never had it before.”

 “Then should we try it?” Sehun asked. “I’m sure we could find a place.”

 “I am not ruining your appetite with fish blood.” Minseok spoke. “Maybe some other time at home.”

 “Fine.”

 “Can we do something more fun tonight?” Jongin asked. “More lively.”

 “Like what?”

 “I don’t know… dancing?”

 “Dance… Junmyeon?”

 “If I remember correctly there is this sort of… special club…”

 “Special?”

 “Meant for people like us but… obviously not easy to get into.”

 “Can we!” Baekhyun cheered. “That sounds so fun! Please, please, Minseok!”

 “Ya, it depends on how you behave today, got it?”

 “Yes! Sehun, let’s go look at the stingrays!”

 ♥♥♥♥♥

 “Are you gonna jump tomorrow?”

 “Why not?” Sehun asked. “It’s not like I’m gonna die.”

 “Sehun.”

 “Fine, I’ll go first and then you.”

 “Sehun.”

 “Alright, alright, we can jump together.”

 “You’re a nightmare.”

       Chanyeol jumped on Sehun, tussling with him while on the bed. This boy had become such a brat lately and he had to wonder how he was supposed to deal with him for eternity. Eventually the oldest pinned down the other.

 “After tomorrow we’re going home.”

 “I know.”

 “Did you have fun?”

 “Of course. Clubbing is still a bit too loud but-”

 “How old are you?”

 “How old are you? Are you ever gonna tell me?”

 “You’re assuming I actually remember.”

 “That’s not a good thing.”

 “When we get home I’ll check on your progress.”

 “Why? I’m doing fine.”

 “Says the idiot who wants to try fish blood.”

 “Might as well, how have you not given your age.”

 “Ya!”

 “You know, we should come back here someday.”

 “Well, in a few years things will be different, something new to experience.”

 “Nah, I mean in a few months. Relive the memories we made today instead of always making new ones. Have you forgotten to just live in the now?”

 “Hm, perhaps…”

 “Good thing you have me.”

 “I guess so.”

 “We will come back right?”

 “It’ll be hard to convince Minseok, and not make the others jealous.”

 “They can do their own vacations. This is a family one, we deserve our own little getaway.”

 “Yeah? Would you like that?”

 “Very much.”

 “Then make a list of all the places for us to go to, and we’ll get to it.”

 “Promise?”

 “Yes, I promise. Now go to sleep, long day tomorrow.”

 ♥♥♥♥♥

       There was something about being with the others Sehun could never describe. It was joy, but there was something more. Life was always about figuring out what to do for Sehun, working towards nothing and hoping to find purpose along the way. Chanyeol interrupted that hard, but perhaps that was for the best.

 “Sehun, are you coming to the office with me today?”

 “I don’t know, what do I get out of it?”

 “My company.”

 “Hm, Jongin promised me games…”

 “Fine, stay home then, don’t need you anyway.”

 “Ya, you gotta ask in a much better way.”

 “Like what?”

 “Hm… Sehunnie, will you come to the office with me today? I want you around cause I miss you so much. Something like that.”

 “You are such a baby.”

 “I’ll see you at dinner.”

 “No, come on.”

       Chanyeol grabbed Sehun’s arm, stopping him from leaving the bedroom. Sehun chuckled and fixed up the others’ tie. He made it a point to pick up some skills just to be of some help, even if it was the smaller things.

 “You gotta look your best.”

 “Sehunnie…”

 “Hm?” Sehun couldn’t contain his smile. “Did you want something hyung?”

 Chanyeol stole a kiss. “Will my little Sehunnie come to work with me?”

 “Is that the best you got?”

 “Wanna figure out what an office romance is like? Or how you do it on a desk?”

 “Ya!”

       Sehun shoved the other away, but never actually let go of the tie, choking Chanyeol for a moment and then pulling him close again.

 “Don’t make promises you can’t keep.”

 “I haven’t broken one.”

 “You better not start now.”

 “I don’t intend to.”

 “Good.”

 “You two done in there!” Junmyeon called. “Let’s go already.”

 “Ah shit, you think-”

 “Yes I heard everything you freaks. Come on, five minutes.”

       The two broke out laughing, Sehun fixing himself up a bit and adding the final details. It was his day to go to the office anyway, but he just liked teasing Chanyeol any chance he got.

 “Let’s go, or else we’ll both be scolded for being late.”

 “They won’t scold me.” Sehun assured. “Just you.”

 “But I can punish you later myself.”

 “Bet.”

 “Oh you better count the hours then.”

 “I will.”
