Rock walked into the Nexus, 'Caution: Mother Theresa Was A Better Liar Than This Guy.' still stamped on his forehead in blue ink. He had the ink on his hands too, were he had tried to rub it off his knees, which was why he was wearing jeans today.

"How do you get ink off of things? 'Cuz this stuff's not coming off!"

Elec tries not to laugh at the message on Rock's head. Really he does.

He fails miserably.

[megadidit]

Rock pouted and fake glared at him. It didn't last long though, and he happily glomped him.

[feathers_in_wax]

Elec snuggles, heedless of any ink rubbing off on him. "What happened?"

[megadidit]

Which is what Elec gets for laughing anyway. Besides, Rock had missed him. "Talking stamp asked about people needing warning labels. I shouldn't have answered."

[feathers_in_wax]

"Warning labels, huh?" Elec looks at Rock's head again. "Hmm, wonder what mine would say. 'Caution, High Voltage'?"

[megadidit]

Rock giggled. "I can go look for it if you want to find out. Maybe, 'Warning, keep away from water while in use.'"

[feathers_in_wax]

Elec flinched at that and shivered, fighting down a flicker of hydrophobia. "Yeah, really."

"And no, one LOL at a time is enough, even if I had the sense not to eat the candies Zero found."

[megadidit]

He blinked then frowned. "Are you okay?" Rock had never seen his Elec act weird around water. Of course he had never seen him around any large bodies of it before.

"Ah well. You can light up a room already." He snuggled some more.

[feathers_in_wax]

Elec snuggled back. "Yeah, you just got really close with that one. I'm, um, kind of scared of water."

He looked embarrased, quickly adding, "Not all of it. I don't flip out over bottled water or cleaning up or any time it rains."

"Just, well, ponds. Swimming pools. That sort of thing."

[megadidit]

"Sorry." He hadn't known, but it made him realize how little he really knew about his brothers. "Maybe my warning should read, 'Doesn't know how to keep big yap closed.'"

Rock sighed. He felt bad that he had inadvertently caused Elec to admit his fear. "I'm scared of thunder," he started. "Not the lighting, the thunder. The sound that can do nothing to me." He wasn't as embarrassed, but it was still a stupid thing to be scared of.

[feathers_in_wax]

"Heh. Maybe next time there's a really bad storm - the kind that causes flooding - we can keep each other company under the bed."

[megadidit]

"Okay." Anything he could say about storms would mention water so Rock kept his mouth shut, simply hugging Elec back.

Guts is horrible at sneaking. But then he's not really trying. Glomp!

[megadidit]

"Hello Guts!" He laughed as he was quickly grabbed into a hug. "I missed you too."

[feathers_in_wax]

Elec just laughed as they're glomped.

[notquitelenny]

Guts smiles, cuddling them. He doesn't seem to notice the ink. Or maybe he just doesn't care.

The writing does, finally, get his attention. "Why do you have letters on your head, Rock?"
