“Kill….
not hurt… kill him…. to get you out of the way….aside from Kraglin and
peter you’ve always been my shield. Attacking or killing your mate
would….. have made you … open for attack as well… then they would come
after me. As for who….. I don’t know yet….”

Tullk huffed and shook his head, unhappy. “Find out, will
you Captain? I wanna give him a piece of my mind…” He then looked at Carlos
with a frown. “An’ keep your humans close – No telling what they’ll try to do
to your squeeze, here.”

“I’m not his squeeze,” Carlos said quickly. At least… not
yet, he thought. Who knew when they would get to that point.

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.

“But you know I’ll do everything I can to…. save him…….. you know that right…. gods…. I… looked into the hatch…… it…. it was t a accident…..someone did it pourposly…..”

Carlos looked at him out of surprise. Yondu looked at it? Without him? But he thought they were going to look at it together
and get it fixed. He… was Yondu just going to tell him not to bother with it because he fixed it already? Just so Carlos wouldn’t have to go outside? Was that what was happening?

However, it didn’t surprise him that someone would sabotage
it. It just gave him questions – questions that Tullk asked.

“Who done it?” the older Ravager asked the Captain. “And…
was Half-nut the target? He wasn’t doing nothing wrong – just walking by.”

Yondu turns to Carlos nodding to him. “We still gotta fix it. But wanted to check some things first ok.” Smiles at him. “As for if he was the target….. yes….”

Carlos blinked a little at Yondu, surprised that he turned
to the human. Did he have some kind of ESP or something?

Tullk just looked at them, confused and a little angry. “Who
the hell wanted to hurt Half-nut??”

“Yeah…
and your staying away from them…. I have others I hate I can fling to
the void…. half should not have been there…… could have been killed…”

Carlos looked at Yondu, a little confused. “But… that’s what
you brought me on the ship for. Engineering and maitenence… right? That’s what
I do.” Though thinking about being in space… in the void… if he had his music
playing in the space suit and he didn’t look out, he supposed he’d be alright.

“….. only if you have a partner or me there… just in case…… and only someone from my inner circle..”

A partner would be a good idea, now that Carlos thought
about it. Someone to help distract from the utter nothingness around them. “I…
would actually welcome that,” Carlos said. “Yeah. Sure – train me on the space
suits and we can see what we can do about the hull.” He offered Yondu a little
smile, that he hoped was encouraging.

This was honestly a scary-as-shit idea, but it was something
that needed to be done – preferably by someone who knew engineering, like him.

“Aliright. Over the course of the next few weeks I’ll teach ya.”

Over those weeks they had been to dozens of planets and stations. Each one a little date yo du would take Carlos on. The crew was smaller after a large purge after another attempt from a group of crew members.

Half but was deathly ill. The void has done his damage and his body needed to heal.

Carlos thought he might be getting close to being ready to
fix the hull. He’d been going over schematics of the area that needed fixing
and thought he knew what was needed.

However, Carlos didn’t really sleep very well. Trying to
sleep in a shared room was sort of like his first weeks in space – he just
couldn’t do it. He was trying not to let it show though.

“How’s Half-nut doing?” Carlos asked Yondu one day at
breakfast. Kraglin just looked over at him, but didn’t say anything as he
continued to eat.

“Getting worse… getting better…. back and forth…. tullks been taking care of him night and day. We all know this could be a losing battle….”

Carlos frowned at that. “Damn… I’m sorry,” he said softly.

“What’re you sorry for?” Kraglin asked.

Carlos just frowned. “For… asking, I suppose.”

“Naaa.. shows you care. Nothing wrong with asking.” Smiles. “I was on my way to deliver more meds to them. Want to come along?”

Carlos looked to Yondu and nodded. “Yeah, uh… sure,” he said. He suddenly yawned and reached up to rub the wetness from his eyes. He made a mental note to ask the medic for something to help him keep awake – he planned on asking Yondu if they could go check out the hull that day.
