“Hm…. Sounds pretty good. Bigger tub…” Better than two grown
men sitting in one tub together, no matter how much they like being this close.
“If there’s electrical components… maybe it’s how it keeps the water hot? That’ll
be nice too.” He nodded slightly against Hancock’s shoulder. “Next research
project…” he promised sleepily.

*wandering around forest* Hey, Max — you around, buddy? ((he heard Max was in a tree))
*Max looked over the side of the branch* Carlos? *he was pretty high up there..* (pft-)
*very confused – he hears Max’s voice but isn’t sure where he is.* Max? Where are you? Some anons told me you were in a tree and I was concerned…
i’m am in a tree! look up here- *he throws an acorn down by Carlos, almost falling off the branch in the process* shyt-
*he looks up and yelps* Max, be careful! What are you doing up there??
*he hugs the trunk of the tree* i am! and.. i don’t really remember.. good news is i made friends with a squirrel!
Oh! Well that’s always… nice. Heh, I told the grey-faces that you were avoiding them.
*he chuckles* well, can’t it be both?
*chuckles back* I just wanted to make sure you were doing okay, Max. Though I’m not sure a tree is entirely safe.
yeaah.. it’s a miracule i haven’t fallen to my probably death if not serious injury yet.. *he shuttered slightly*
truth is, i’m kinda stuck..Well, come on down. I’ll be here to help you out. *smiles*
*he shifts on the branch, nerously looking down* i-.. i dunno
Are you stuck?
no..! … yes..
Oh… well, um, okay. It’ll be okay, Max – I’ll help you. Which way did you go to get up?
i don’t remember.. this side i think..
Alright. We’re going to try easing down that side toward the trunk, okay Max? Slowly. I’m right here, and I’ll watch your footing for you, okay?
*he hesitately nods before carefully starting to climb down*
*Carlos watched him carefully, standing directly underneath Max just in case* Okay, there’s a branch to your left. Slowly, feel for it with your left foot, Max.
a-alright.. *he feels around with his foot til he found the branch* … there are claw marks on this tree.. like really big claw marks!
*Carlos frowns* Well… there are bears out here… but it’s okay. You’re doing great, Max. Slowly put your weight on that foot.
From the stars
Peter sighs as he flops down on his bunk and starts dialing up the signal for terra. They were goi g to be close and he knew if carlos said he wanted to see Yondu then they would visit. “Hey Carlos! Hehe. So we’re gonna be the closest we have been since we left only a few jumps away from terra. I really want to visit but you know how dad is…. he won’t come unless you call him… something about getting in your way or something. Damn man I miss you. Oh and tell your dad I’d loooove a life time supply of those tamales!”
A call from Peter was just what Carlos needed and he answered the communicator tired, but happy. “Pete, it’s so good to hear from you,” he told the younger man. “You’re close? What brings you to our back-water part of the galaxy? Heh…”
“A mission of some sort that I wasn’t allowed to go on……. was soooo stupid….. dad got shot in the arm…. would not have happened if I’d been there. But noooooo. Heh. So yeah I mentioned to dad to come by but he said not unless you invite us. Something about you being busy and stuff.”
Carlos wasn’t busy. Wasn’t busy at all. At least, not in the way he really wanted to be.
“I’m never too busy for you guys! Absolutely – swing by if you can! We’ll have dinner,” Carlos said, smiling.
“Awesome!!!” There was the sound of peter running then jumping on the bed the camera going all crazy then a flash of blue and glowing red. “Dad! Carlos says we can come visit! Common get up!!!”
“BOY GET OFF ME!!!! FUCK OWWW!!! PETER JASON QUILL GET BACK HERE!!!”
Carlos chuckled. God, he missed these peoples’ craziness.
“Yondu, you but holes in that boy I’m never buying you ice cream again,” Carlos pretended to scold, speaking loudly into the comm to make sure Yondu could hear him.
No- I don’t think- I don’t know.
Well…. if it is, let me know, okay?
*peeks into the pot* The ice is melted. Wanna feel the water? See if it’s cool enough?
*Max stuck his hand in the water before grabbing three(3) more ice cubes and tossing them in* almost.
Alright. *Carlos grabs an ice cube out of the pitcher and pops it in his mouth, crunching it with his teeth.*
Have you ever tried the hairspray lighter thing? *max took one of the ice cubes and put it in his mouth*
Yes, and it is very dangerous. I suggest, before doing that, you find a nice open space away from anything flammable. *how can one be noisy eating ice? Who knows, but Carlos is noisy*
Well that’s damn impossible since this is the middle of the forrest almost.
Well, then wait until you can find a nice parking lot to do it in. With adult supervision.
That’s not as fun..
… You could set up a tower of paper cups to hit with the flames?
*max shrugged* maybe.
Come on, it’d be absolutely fun and amazing. Ooh, you could make the cups Styrofoam instead. They melt in a very interesting way.

A Holiday Surprise (closed w/ selfmedicatingmayor)
“Observed statistics say I shouldn’t be this lucky either,” Carlos murmured, holding him. “Thanks for saving my butt from my own stupidity… I am so unbelievably grateful to be here with you.” Thinking about what could have happened weighed really heavy on Carlos’ heart. Somehow, he got a chance to pull himself up when others don’t. It wasn’t fair, but Carlos was very grateful. Just… so grateful.
“Sounds smarter when you say it.” He snorted. After a few moments, Hancock pulled away, taking Carlos’ face in his hands and pressing a deep kiss to his lips before climbing off of him fully and standing up to smooth the wrinkles out of his jacket. “Alright then, you uh, you said there was somethin’ else, right? Shall we?”
Carlos sat there silently for a moment. He blinked up at Hancock, a little dazed from the kiss, but then he blinked himself to awareness. “Oh, uh – yeah, hang on,” he said.
Carlos wanted to finish up his bowl before the broth got cold again so he picked up the bowl and quickly started to drink it down, getting some soaked into his mustache. Carlos set the empty bowl down with a satisfied sigh and stood up.
“It’s down in the workshop,” he said, wiping his mouth on his sleeve – the shirt needed to be washed soon anyway.
Food for the Soul (closed w/ selfmedicatingmayor)
“Oh, I know,” Carlos said. “I know, you don’t do that to
people. And yeah, I… I certainly know how they would feel.” At the end of the
day, Carlos supposed he was just glad that there was something he could do for
Hancock and he didn’t have to feel guilty for accepting the guy’s help. Too
much. He still couldn’t believe it had taken him so long to figure out how he
could actually give back to Hancock.“Hey…..” He started, reaching out to place a hand on Carlos’ shoulder, a soft smile on his face. “You know you don’t have to feel that way, right? I’m happy to have you around, no matter what you’re doin’ and there’s no shame in needing a little help, this world is fuckin’ cruel as hell and we’re all better off if we work together to survive. Even I couldn’t have made it this far on my own, I’d be dead a hundred times over if it weren’t for the people around me, ya feel me?”
Carlos looked at him, a little confused why Hancock would be
about how Carlos felt.
Because he’s a nice
guy, Carlos thought to himself. Nice
people do exist out here, no matter how rough it gets. It was nice to know
that, he supposed. And it was nice that his mental well-being wasn’t only his
own concern.
He smiled at the ghoul, grateful. “Thanks a lot, Mayor,” he
said. “I really do appreciate you saying that. And really… I’m happy that you
did come up with something for me to do for you.”
Carlos made a questioning noise and it took him a moment to
think about what Hancock said to him. “Uh… well, theoretically I could,” he
answered. “Though I can’t say I know
much about them… what made them so cool? Er… I guess hot, I should say.” He smiled a bit at his bad joke.
