“Neither I, you,” Carlos returned gently. He leaned into Hancock and nuzzled a bit into his neck at the kiss. He was being real here… he had absolutely no idea where he’d be if he hadn’t met Hancock. Definitely not in a good place. He was actually able to think about Christmas and birthday presents of all things! It was… it was just incredible and he was so lucky.

Hancock went quiet, three little words stuck on the tip of his tongue, though he was afraid to actually speak them. Instead, the ghoul all but climbed into his lap and wrapped his arms around him, hugging him tight and turning his face into his neck to press another kiss to his skin. “I’m so glad you walked into my life, sunshine. Guys like me shouldn’t be so lucky.”

“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.

*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

Carlos was taken back by this. “My… my family?” he asked softly. He hadn’t thought about having a family before. Did he… no wait – he did have a family. His brother and his dad. They lived in Oh-ree-gone. He hadn’t spoken to them in so long… how long? Carlos’ eyebrows scrunched together and he wasn’t looking at particularly anything as he thought, trying to make sense… why had he not talked to them?

Sylvain’s eyebrows crinkled.

“Carlos, you alright there?” he said. “I’m sorry. You don’t have to talk about them if you don’t want to.”

“What? Oh, no, no, no, it’s not that,” Carlos assured him quickly. “It’s just… heh… I uh… haven’t even really thought about them in a while.” Which was very strange and, now that he thought about it, concerning. He loved his family. They got along so well! There was no reason to not talk to them.

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.
