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.”

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 plugs it in and flips it on half purring as it warms up and he burrows. “Waaaarrrmmmm…..”

Peter smiles.

Yondu chuckles following carlos and nuzzles him.

Carlos blinked when Yondu came up behind him. He looked back and smiled slightly. “Hey, big guy,” he said. He reached into a bag and pulled out a small bag of Cheetos. “Look at what I got.”

“Terran beastie worms.well shit.” Opens the bag and blinks. “uhhhh these are bad… there dead… I’d go get yer money back.”

Carlos chuckled. “No, they aren’t dead,” he said. “It’s made of mostly plant-based products, not grubs. Give them a try. I promise, they’re good.”

Yondu pulls out one then pops it in his mouth and blinks. “Hey tastes just like a beastie worm!!” Keeps munching on them them.

Carlos nodded. “Yeah, they do! This gives you context now when Pete and I say it’s like a Cheeto.” He smiled. “I’m glad you like them, even though they’re not wriggly and silently screaming for every bite you take.”
