Nods and reaches up and caresses his cheek lightly then kisses his head before heading off towards tullk and halfnuts quarters.
Jamie Coughs hard and wet and moans painfully his whole body hurt his head throbbing.
Tullk was nearby, brewing up some tea for the younger
Ravager to try to drink. “Hang on a second, lad… I got something for you, just
wait.”***
Carlos followed after Yondu, trying to get all his yawning
out before they popped in to check on the sick ravager.Jamie whimpers looking at him. “Tullk………. nothings working……. the void…. got me good……. you know what bacteria is out there……. hurts so much….”
Tullk got some tea into a cup and carried it to the bed. He
climbed in beside the other Ravager so he had something to lean against as he
drank. “Come up here, boy – drink,” he said, reaching to gently coax the other
against his side. He offered him the tea. “We’ll get this figured out. You’ll
be alright soon.”Jamie sips the tea weakly then snuggles back against him groaning and shivering. “Why are… you taking care of me Tullk? You can’t possibly like me all weak and… pathetic…” Coughs.
“You’re not weak, you’re just sick,” the older man huffed. “Don’t
worry yourself. Just work on getting better – you’re driving me more nuts than
you do when you’re healthy.”Jamie snuggles close clutching the front of his shirt. “Love you too… Tullk….” Nuzzles and kisses his chest.
Tullk just rubbed the younger’s shoulder, trying to help
warm him up a bit. Truth be told, he was very worried. People weren’t usually sick
for this long.There was a hesitant knock on the door and Tullk made a
slightly annoyed groaning sound. “Come in,” he said aloud, not bothering to
move from the bed.“Yondu slipped in with Carlos. “brought more medicine. Good…. he’s asleep. Resting more now. That’s good…… ………….Tullk…….. you understand ……. he could … die……….”
Tullk made a slight face, but didn’t look directly at Yondu.
He gave a small nod. “Yes, Captain,” he said lowly.
Carlos felt bad. Maybe he shouldn’t be here… He was – well,
he supposed he was the Captain’s sort-of boyfriend. Or maybe his date-mate.
They were dating. The point was, he was connected to the Captain; similar to
how Tullk and Half-nut were. He wondered if him being there was… kinda rubbing
it in their faces. He kept back, a little bit behind Yondu.
