“Not
gonna force him…. I’ll ask but I’m not expecting anything…. Jamie
don’t…..” Sighs as the man eats a centipede. “Eat that……. What is it
with you and doing that?”

Jamie shrugs. “Just how my people are…. most things on our planet are
bugs… since the natural wildlife was hunted to extinction…”

“You still shouldn’t eat somethin’ you don’t know much about,” Tullk murmured to the other before looking to Yondu again. “Cap’n… normally you take what ya want. What’s diff’rent this time?”

Jamie finishes munching on his little snack offering a peice to Tullk like one would offer a price of jerky.

Yondu sighs. “Because I actually love him…. legibly…. not you know… one time fuck and done thing….”

Tullk politely declined with the wave of his hand, still watching Yondu. “Yeah… ‘cuz as far as I know, you two ain’t even done that yet. Weird. Somethin’ not going right?”

“I
agree… it will be good…..” Looks up as he hears Kraglin shout St. Peter
to stop bouncing. “And now the best is bugging his big brother….. “we
have another 2 hours of night cycle then we’ll be there to you within 2
hours of that. I’ll bring Tullk and Jamie along. Jamie was really
interested in the unique nature around your house.”

“So soon? Really? I thought you guys would be maybe a standard month out.”

“Not if we use the jump drive. And to avoid peter driving us insane.. we’ll use it. We’re actually not far… just beyond… uhhh That planet Pluto? I think you terrans call it…”

“Yeah, Pluto,” Carlos agreed. “And we classify it as a dwarf planet here on Earth – basically just a smaller celestial object. What are you doing in the Solar System?” Now that Carlos thought about it, what were the space whales doing in the solar system?

“Picking up some materials from the planets around the sol system. But that’s about it. Nothing illegal this time. Hehehe.”

“Well good – the Earth has plenty of scum and villainy going on all by itself,” Carlos joked with a slight smirk. f

“Ouch… right in the heart….. at least I’m hot scum. You liked it and you know it.”

Carlos laughed. “Sometimes,” he admitted. “I should let my dad know you guys are heading here so he can start planning meals.”

“Tell him I’m bringing him a few bags of bestie worms. I know he enjoyed them last time. And I know you do too…. maybe I’ll get wheels to eat some.”

Carlos just huffed, smirking a bit. “Don’t tease Mikey too much… He tries not to eat Cheetos now. I think the whole ‘worm’ thing bothered him.”

Yondu blinks and hums. “Ok. I wotms for him…. however I think I got something he’d like more. Yeah I think he’d like it. Well…. we’ll be there soon. I’m gonna catch a little more sleep. Love you carlos. PETEY! Come get yer tablet. And don’t bother your brother. See you seen carlos.” Peter takes the tablet then rushes back to the bed with Kraglin and hops back in and snuggles against him. “Say hi Krags!”

“Sleep well, Yondu!” Carlos called as the communicator was whisked away.

He watched the picture jump around before it finally came to rest, showing the face of a very rumpled and grumpy-looking Xandar-Hraxian.

“Pete, for flark’s sake…” he mumbled, trying to hide his eyes from the brightness on the screen.

“Hey, Kraglin,” Carlos greeted with a slight smile.

Peter grins and snuggles up against kraglins chest and sighs happily. “It’s carlos Krags… common wake up. We’re going to earth in a few hours.” Snuggles up against his chest and sighs happily.

Kraglin grumbled, his eyes still closed. “’Bout time… been wonderin’ when the Cap’n was gonna decide to stop pissin’ around and swing by.”

“Careful, Kraglin – that sounds a tad bit like insubordination,” Carlos teased.

“Krags is like that when dad avoids stuff. Krags misses you too he’s just to much of a grump yo admit it.”

Pokes him. “Grumpy butt grumpy butt.” Kisses his cheek and burrows under the covers yawning a bit.

Kraglin hummed, not responding to Carlos.

“You boys look like you need to go back to sleep,” Carlos said with a slight smile. “

Peter yawns and nods. “See you Soon. Miss you. Bye.” Waves a bit and takes kraglins hand waving it before turning the tablet off. “Krags?” Looks to him and nuzzles against his neck squirming around. “Love you bro.”

Kraglin hummed again and curled into Peter. “Mm… luv’oo too…” he murmured, almost instantly falling back asleep.

***

Carlos sighed shutting off his communicator. Well… at least there was something to look forward to and take his mind off of his fruitless jobsearch.

Few hours later found peter, Kraglin, Yondu, Tullk and Jamie landing in the forest clearing thankfully fairly close to Carlos’s home. Yondu has his good upand peter grins running off into the woods towards the house. “Kraglin … follow your brother..”

Kraglin went after him like a herding dog. “Pete, get back here! It’s too dark for you to go running off!”

“Tracker’s locked on Ramon’s comm, Cap’n,” Tullk reported, looking to the device in his hand. The other arm was hooked around Half-nut’s arm.

Peter laughs playing the chase game with him in the dark. He was finally planet side and as always wanted to play hide and go seek tag.

Yondu nods. “It’s a good 15 minute walk according to this. Let’s get going…. wake up ya nut.”

Jamie yawned leaning against Tullk. “I’m awake captain…”

Tullk just smirked slightly and tugged him to follow as they started down the trail.

“PETE!” Kraglin called, getting frustrated. “Get back here!”

Peter laughs somewhere up ahead his red coat flashing in the moon light at random intervals before disappearing. Then there was silence before a body jumped on kraglins back with a laugh and holds on like a baby monkey.

Jamie allows himself to be lead stopping every few moments to scan some foliage to see if it would be useful.

Kraglin was taken down to the ground out of complete shock from the attack. He gave a loud, almost animal-like wail and tried to wriggle out of Peter’s grasp.

Tullk looked to Yondu as they walked. “What’s the plan then, Cap’n?” he asked.

“Beauty you say? Dude your uglier then a bilgsnipes ass.” Grins and hands over the pink glittery dragon.

Yondu rolls his eyes at his boys and takes the little thing and
grins. “Aww look at it. This ones a cute little thing here. Hehe. Got
some shimmer too.”

“This one’s mine,” Kraglin said, handing over the little green lizard thing he picked out.

Yondu takes that one grinning at it and bobs there little heads. “Hehe. These are cute..well I just might have to collect some more Huh…”

“Well, you’ve got one more,” Carlos said. He pulled out the little pale horse and offered it to Yondu. “This one’s called a horse – people use them to ride around on.”

Yondu takes it and grins looking it over like the others and holds all three bobbling there heads. “Hehe. Front row seats on my shelf. Special treatment for these cute critters.”

Half smiles then burrows back down into the fluffy warmth looking up at Tullk with content halflidded eyes.

Tullk looked at Half-nut and smiled at him. He rubbed the younger Ravager’s shoulders. “We should be getting back… get some sleep before the day shift on the Eclector.”

Kraglin snorted softly. Right… ‘sleep’.

Yondu nods. “You boys head on back to the ship. Carlos and I have icecream to go get them I’ll be back on the ship.”

Kraglin made a little face at the mention of ice cream but he nodded and stood up. “Aye, Captain… Pete, let’s get them Cheetos and stuff that we got.”

“Oh! Let me send you home with something else too!” Edwardo said as he stood up. He took his cane and slowly walked out of the room toward the garage where he kept a large freezer.

“Ooh, you guys are going to like this,” Carlos said with a wide and excited grin.

Peter blinks at the signal for them to leave. He really didn’t want to. He was on earth with othercterrsns who understood him and where he cane from. But he stood anyway standing next to Kraglin and waits.

Half hand folded up the blanket waiting still nice and toasty warm.

Yondu blinks. “What’s he got?”

Edwardo returned from the garage carrying a package about the size of a small toddler wrapped in paper and plastic. Scribbled on it was a date and the word ‘pork’. He smiled as he offered the package to Kraglin.

Kraglin was a little bit skeptical, and as he took the package he was confused to find that it seemed frozen.

“These are some tamales that I had stored away,” Edwardo said. “I make them often.”

“Dad makes some of the best tamales ever,” Mikey told everyone proudly.

Yondu
blinks in mid crunch then swallows. “No idea what a snake is but…..
your dads a pshyco. Eating hearts……..then again… hey if it works for the
libido then who am I to judge.” Smiles at him wanting so badly to kiss
him.

Carlos laughed. “It’s more of a superstition that it helps your sex life,” Carlos said. “A lot of cultures are still heavily-set in superstition.” Carlos saw the look in Yondu’s eyes and he looked away. No, they couldn’t do this. They really shouldn’t. “Um… A snake, by the way, is a long reptile without legs. It, uh… it kinda looks like a tail with a head.”

Yondu sees him turn away and nods. “Uhhh Yeah….. that sounds… ummm… interesting…..” Fidel’s with the bag looking at the words on the back to distract himself. “H….how were the boys?….”

Carlos frowned and looked back at Yondu. “Peter had a panic attack,” he said. “We had to get him out of the store for a while and get some ice cream to calm him down. And… And Kraglin at one point was blushing. But, uh… Humans don’t blush blue, so we had to try to hide that too. Both times caused a bit of a scene… But we’re really hopeful that we weren’t particularly noticed as off-worlders.”

Yondu nods frowning at peter having a panic attack but he seemed fine when they got back so he let it slide. “Krags Blushing Huh? He’s interested in yet brother likes peoplecthat have some… mechanical bits ya know…. dunno why.” Shrugs and munches on another Cheeto and sighs. “This sucks………”

“It wasn’t Mikey,” Carlos said. “It… well, we found out Kraglin is lactose intolerant. And ice cream here is made of lactose, and he got a little sick. Peter kept teasing him about it.” Carlos looked down and scratched the back of his head. “Yondu… I think we might be on a bit of a time crunch now.”

Looks at him and nods. “Well… be gone tonight…… I know….may be a few months…before I can return……..if I can…..”

Carlos nodded. “Right… because of work… and you said that you needed to hibernate again soon.”

“……..yeah that…… but uhhh also…. your dad and i….. we…. had a conversation……… i….. I’m never going to stop….loving you…. I just won’t….. and my being a alien……. it’s not gonna happen. You have family and a life here on terra….earth……. and…..well… you can’t come with me….. so….. it’s best I…don’t come back…… you can still talk with the boys peter I think needs that….. but for us… you…. It’s.. best it ends…… well only… end up… wishing for something that was impossible….”

Carlos frowned at him. “Y-Yondu… I understand if you need space to sort out how to feel about… leaving me here,” he said softly. “Sure – definitely take a few months off from… this – from me – and… and let our hearts just kinda… recover. I don’t wanna lose you as a friend. Please… don’t call this friendship off completely right away?”

Yondu looks at him and nods. It was a lie but he didn’t want carlos to stay upset. “Yeah… sure.” Looks up as he heard Tullk call for them. “Lunch is ready….. once night comes…. we’ll be gone.” Looks at him before heading back to the main room.

Carlos smiled sadtly and nodded. “Um… before you go… I kinda wanted to take you out to get ice cream. I mean, you’ll have to stay in the car and wear my hoodie and keep out of the light, but…going through a drive-through and getting an order shouldn’t be a problem… right? We’ll just leave Kraglin behind this time so we don’t make him sick again.”

Yondu thinks then nods. “Ok… then you’ll drive me to my ship… I’ll have the boys drive my bike tonight to head home…..and… we’ll go get some icecream….. now common let’s go watch your brother squirm from with wiggly beastie worm lunch.”

Carlos chuckled softly and nodded as he hurried and finished putting some things away.

Yondu smiles a bit as they head to lunch.

After watching Mikey force down a few besties much to everyone’s laughter they were all relaxing in the tv room watching a terran film. Half was bundled in his new blanket snuggled against Tullk.

Peter was snuggled against kraglins side. “Hey. We forget to give dad the critters…”

Yondu hums looking at them. “Critters?”

Peter nods running to the bags and brings over one with the pet shop figures. “We saw these and just knew you’d like them.”

Carlos sat up a bit and smiled at Yondu.

“Pete, grab yers and pass it around – they all ain’t from you!” Kraglin scolded, though there wasn’t any real anger behind it.

Edwardo paused the film so that Tullk and Half-nut didn’t miss anything since it looked like everyone was going to be distracted now.

Peter
slides into the car and slides to the middle seat and snuggles back up
against Kraglin and to relax as they head back. He took kraglins hand on
his and starts rubbing along his palm and wrist knowing it calmed and
relaxed him.

Kraglin just sat there, making low growling-type noises. It was crazy – the bloated feeling he had seemed to be getting better now. Just a bit at least.

Carlos drove them home, still feeling kind of jittery and paranoid. They’d made a bit of a scene – did that mean someone was going to come after them? God, he hoped not. Or if someone was, they come after Yondu and the boys left. Can’t confront about aliens with no aliens around…

Peter snuggles him continuing his rubbing.

Once back at the house it was to find two new faces. Half but and Tullk were there the excuse was halfnut wanted to collect some wild herbs from earth to see if he could make something from it and why not visit there captain and other crew while they were at it.

Coming in and seeing Tullk talking and laughing with his dad like the were old friends… Carlos’ first thoughts were to the ship. “Who the hell is watching the ship?” he asked.

Tullk just shrugged. “Ship’s in the night cycle. Yer planet’s a bit on the fast side of standard. Anyway – the night crew’s got the ship and everyone else is sleepin’.”

“Ya got permission from Yondu ‘fore comin’ down, right?” Kraglin asked him.

Half was over near the table scanning some of the herbs and spices he’d found in the garden. “O..of c.co…course we did. W..we a..al always listed to the c..captain..” he frowns holding up a green leaf of some kind. “Hmmmm… this is listed as…a ..a n.nar ..narcotic…”

Edwardo looked. “Oh, that looks like hemp. People use it for oils and to make paper…. though I’m not sure where you found that…”

Carlos frowned at it. “Did that come from the forest?”

Half but nods. “Just.. s… south of. Y..you garden…. I. F.. f.. found some. T..tasty mushrooms too.” Looks over at Tullk and smiles at him.

Yondu hums. “Half I told ya not to wander past the garden….”

Half frowns. “S..Sorry I.. just saw a.. interesting p..plant…”

“It’s not dangerous,” Carlos told him. “Just… don’t leave any of it here. Make sure to take it with you when you go back to the ship. It’s kind of illegal here to have more than an ounce or so.”

“Sounds like I may have to… ‘stumble’ upon it myself later,” Mr Ramon said with a frown. “After you boys are back in space of course… we don’t want the police asking you all questions.”

Half finished and stores the plants before siding up against Tullk. “I know there have to be more herbs and spices …. but this is what I have..”

Tullk nodded with a smile, reaching around to rub at his shoulder. “I think that’ll keep ya busy fer a while, huh Jamie? Make sure you keep all that green ‘hemp’ stuff with you until we get to the ship.”

Half smiles and nods leaning against him and shivers. “Cold…..”

Peter blinks then grabs the bag with the blanket and brings it over. “I… got it for you…. it’s a electric blanket…. will keep you warm….”

Half blinks and takes it looking it over. “I…. thank you petey….”

Tullk lifted an eyebrow at the gift, but he gave Peter a grin. He reached up and rubbed the boy’s head. “Yer’a good ‘un, Pete. The Captain did right by you.”

Peter smiles at the pat and praise. “I gotta take care of my family you know.”

Half pulls the planner from the packaging and burritos himself in it.

“It should be easy to rig up something to give it power,” Carlos told Tullk. “There’s a physical plug on it, and if you just make a rechargeable battery pack to plug into it then you should be good to go.”

Tullk nodded. “Sounds good,” he said, and Carlos nodded before carrying the rest of their groceries into the kitchen.

Peter
slides into the car and slides to the middle seat and snuggles back up
against Kraglin and to relax as they head back. He took kraglins hand on
his and starts rubbing along his palm and wrist knowing it calmed and
relaxed him.

Kraglin just sat there, making low growling-type noises. It was crazy – the bloated feeling he had seemed to be getting better now. Just a bit at least.

Carlos drove them home, still feeling kind of jittery and paranoid. They’d made a bit of a scene – did that mean someone was going to come after them? God, he hoped not. Or if someone was, they come after Yondu and the boys left. Can’t confront about aliens with no aliens around…

Peter snuggles him continuing his rubbing.

Once back at the house it was to find two new faces. Half but and Tullk were there the excuse was halfnut wanted to collect some wild herbs from earth to see if he could make something from it and why not visit there captain and other crew while they were at it.

Coming in and seeing Tullk talking and laughing with his dad like the were old friends… Carlos’ first thoughts were to the ship. “Who the hell is watching the ship?” he asked.

Tullk just shrugged. “Ship’s in the night cycle. Yer planet’s a bit on the fast side of standard. Anyway – the night crew’s got the ship and everyone else is sleepin’.”

“Ya got permission from Yondu ‘fore comin’ down, right?” Kraglin asked him.

Half was over near the table scanning some of the herbs and spices he’d found in the garden. “O..of c.co…course we did. W..we a..al always listed to the c..captain..” he frowns holding up a green leaf of some kind. “Hmmmm… this is listed as…a ..a n.nar ..narcotic…”

Edwardo looked. “Oh, that looks like hemp. People use it for oils and to make paper…. though I’m not sure where you found that…”

Carlos frowned at it. “Did that come from the forest?”

Half but nods. “Just.. s… south of. Y..you garden…. I. F.. f.. found some. T..tasty mushrooms too.” Looks over at Tullk and smiles at him.

Yondu hums. “Half I told ya not to wander past the garden….”

Half frowns. “S..Sorry I.. just saw a.. interesting p..plant…”

“It’s not dangerous,” Carlos told him. “Just… don’t leave any of it here. Make sure to take it with you when you go back to the ship. It’s kind of illegal here to have more than an ounce or so.”

“Sounds like I may have to… ‘stumble’ upon it myself later,” Mr Ramon said with a frown. “After you boys are back in space of course… we don’t want the police asking you all questions.”

Half finished and stores the plants before siding up against Tullk. “I know there have to be more herbs and spices …. but this is what I have..”

Tullk nodded with a smile, reaching around to rub at his shoulder. “I think that’ll keep ya busy fer a while, huh Jamie? Make sure you keep all that green ‘hemp’ stuff with you until we get to the ship.”

Half smiles and nods leaning against him and shivers. “Cold…..”

Peter blinks then grabs the bag with the blanket and brings it over. “I… got it for you…. it’s a electric blanket…. will keep you warm….”

Half blinks and takes it looking it over. “I…. thank you petey….”

Tullk lifted an eyebrow at the gift, but he gave Peter a grin. He reached up and rubbed the boy’s head. “Yer’a good ‘un, Pete. The Captain did right by you.”
