Seres, happy to have the tablet back, sat on the floor of the lab and went back to his videos. Magnus scampered to Carlos’ part of the lab, that feeling of nerves bunched in his chest, but he was trying to ignore it. “where do you keep the tubes?” he hummed, opening a drawer

Carlos gently shut the drawer and took Magnus’ hand. “Over in a cabinet here,” he said, leading his spouse to it. He opened it and inside were many sterile beakers, tubes, and containers. He pulled out a drawer that contained various sizes of glass tubes and stoppers. “Grab a glove and pick one out.”
