“No fun in low profile bro. You know that.” Kisses his cheek and nuzzles pulling him back to the house.

Halfnut was now sitting on Tullk back somehow keeping the stronger ravager down.

“I’m bein’ serious, Pete,” Kraglin told him, following. “We can’t be attractin’ attention when one of us don’t look human.”

Carlos looked up as the boys entered and smiled. “Hey, guys – Dad’s starting dinner, so go ahead and sit down on the couch if you like.”

Peter nods to Kraglin understanding and takes a seat on the coutch watching Jamie and Tullk. “Got a group question here out of a rating of 1 to 10 1being that Jamie’s a cuddly kitten and 10 being Armageddon. How dangerous/scared are you Of halfnut…. you know crazy Jamie.”

Tullk looked at Peter with a raised eyebrow. “That’s an awful personal question ye be askin’, boy,” he murmured.

Jamie blinks and shudders. “10 I don’t like halfnut. He’s…. scary mean…. likes bloodsnd violence.”

Tullk turned to Jamie, a little surprised. “You didn’t hafta tell ‘im nothin, Jamie,” he said gently. “Y’alright with him knowin’ yer feelin’s?”

Jamie looks to him. “We’re family here Yeah? Not crew…. not on the ship with no one else….. only bad one here is halfnut…. but…. he’s quiet now. Can’t hear nothin….he came out for a little bit…. but he’s gone now. .. just me Jamie. Just me….”

Peter grins and gives Jamie a big hug. “Yeah just kitten Jamie.”

Tullk just looked at the both of them before nodding. He could understand – they weren’t on the ship. They could relax some.

“Yeah… just like a kitten,” Tullk commented with a smile.

Jamie huffs and half punches peters arm and goes to Tullk snuggling against him.

Peter rubs his arm. “Owww… kittens got claws..”

Tullk just huffed softly in amusement, putting his arm around Jamie. “Ravager, boy.”

Kraglin just smiled and ruffled Peter’s hair.

When
he was pinned like that peters eyes go wide and blank his body stiff
and still remembering when he was grabbed like this and pinned down.

Kraglin noticed the immediate change. “Pete?” he asked. His grip relaxed enough for Peter to get out of. “Pete… you okay? Talk to me.”

Blinks and burrows against him. “I don’t like being pinned down like that……. Like… how he did…..”

Yondu blinks hearing that. “Krags. Take your time…. I’ll call ya for dinner.”

Kraglin felt his heart lurch and he jumped off of Peter as if burned. Flark… he couldn’t believe he’d done that!

He looked up to the door where Yondu stood – how long had he been watching?

“Pete, I… I’m sorry,” Kraglin said softly, looking back at the human. “I didn’t mean nothin’ by that…”

Peter looks up at him nodding. “It’s.. it’s ok…. I just…. I remember that and….. …….. I should get over it. Sorry.”

Kraglin shook his head. “No, nononono, Pete, it ain’t your fault. It… I gotta be more mindful while you’re recoverin’. I’m sorry.” Kraglin offered his hand to Peter, as a sort of peace offering.

Takes his hand and then snuggles up against him nuzzling his chest and hugs him tight rubbing his face against him much like he’d seen some crew do as for scenting of family or loved ones.

Kraglin was a little surprised at the nuzzling. He rolled his eyes, but was still smirking slightly as he hugged Peter back. He wondered how Yondu would react to this treatment… he’d probably secretly love it.

Peter smiles and settles face pressed to his tattooed neck and closes his eyes. “I love you big bro…… never want to leave. I’ll try to be the best ravager so you and dad will be proud you…. took me.”

“Well… we kept you, so that says somethin’ right?” Kraglin asked him, rubbing his shoulder.

“You mean I kept you. Even though you get smelly when you have dairy. Hehe.” Nuzzles as he hears halfnut do his war cry and watches through the Windows was he tackles Tullk playfully.

Kraglin smacked Peter lightly on the head. He looked at the widow with a slight frown. “Do they know the point o’ bein’ here is to keep a low profile?” he asked.

Tullk could be seen with Half-nut in a headlock. But it was clear that it was all in jest and nothing was wrong.

Peter
grins knowing exactly what they are and grins. “Oh yeah… those things.
Yeah there a earth fruit and vegetable. The pineapple it’s dangerous…..
see you have to know how to handle it. Or it bites.” Picks it up then
tosses it Tullk to catch knowing it will prick him harmlessly. “And it’s
poisonous if it bites you. You’ll die in a few short minutes.”

Edwardo looked at Peter, incredulous. “Young man, how long have you been in space?” he asked. “Neither of them bite. Carlos is referring to some bacterial infections that can happen when eating a raw potato.”

Kraglin glared at Peter. “You little snot,” he muttered and cuffed the younger man behind his ear.

Peter yelps and covers his head.

Yondu sighs. “Peter behave…. honestly… can’t take you anywhere….”

Peter blinks and puts the food back and slinks out of the room and out the back door to sit on the porch.

Yondu sighs. “Sorry about him Eduardo…. he’s… I dunno… a prankster… but he should know better. Respect a man’s home fee crying out loud… sorry…”

Carlos repeated back what Yondu said to his dad and the older Ramon nodded, understanding. “Ah, I see. He’s just young, that’s all. There’s no harm in joking around – I was honestly worried he had been fed false information. Heh… ‘fed’… get it? Wait, did that translate well?”

Kraglin just groaned. “Unfortunately…” he muttered. He got up to go after Peter without being told by Yondu.

Yondu blinks and grins chuckling shaking his head. “That was bad.. but still funny. Tullk Jamie. Go rest in the main room. We men of the house and ship are gonna cook up some terran food. Grins.

Jamie looks to Tullk worried. “We’ll die of food poisoning if Yondu cooks….”

Peter was outside laying in the grass looking at the stars.

“You can help Dad put stuff away,” Carlos told Yondu. “I’ve got to run up and get his translator.” He smiled and pat the ravager on the arm before turning away.

Tullk just took Jamie’s hand and tugged him to the other room. “We’ll be fine. Remember, Mr Ramon’s a good cook.”

Kraglin stood on the porch looking at Peter. “Pete…” he said simply. His tone didn’t betray any of his emotions.

Yondu shrugs. “We never go anywhere without weapons…. it’s a … prepared thing… we keep weapons even if we go on a picnic.”

Jamie whines. “Jamie likes pups… upset he can’t have pups because of
nut… because he’s crazy…. mean… violent…. Jamie gets frustrated…”

Carlos frowned slightly at Yondu. “It’s Earth – this is the place where you shouldn’t have weapons on you!” Carlos shut his eyes and took a breath. “Sorry… I’m sorry, I’m just… now that you guys are here I’m anxious all over again…”

Tullk just lay there with Jamie, humming with his gravelly voice to calm the other.

Yondu sighs at that. “Sorry……. perhaps we should… go…” he didn’t want to but he didn’t want to stress carlos out.

Jamie eventually calms and nuzzles against him. “Nuts quiet again….he’s gone back to sleep. Your humming put him to sleep.”

“Good to hear,” Tullk grunted. He smiled at the other man, still petting his hair.

“No, wait – don’t go,” Carlos said quickly. “I – I’m sorry, it’s me… everything will be fine. I’m… it’s my job-search – it’s making me antsy.”

“He is,” Mikey agreed as he rolled up with a glass of water. He offered it to Yondu. “Carlos is getting stir-crazy from staying in the house for so long.”

Yondu hums. “….I’d offer a job but… you know…. and I can easily convert credits to cash so your family lives comfortably…”

Jamie purrs and pulls him into a kiss.

Kraglin peered out the back door and made a face. He turned away to give the other Ravagers some privacy while he nursed the bubbly drink that Mikey had given him. It was really fruity and sweet, and it was purple… he could practically feel his teeth rotting from drinking it.

Carlos sighed. “I can’t do that… the government here likes to know where money is coming from. And they’re more liable to believe that it’s drug money rather than space money. I… it has to be an Earth job.”

“He’s keeping busy with some of my work,” Mikey said with a smile. “It’s nice to have somebody to do the heavy-lifting when people bring in their computer towers for us to fix.”

Yondu frowns and sighs. “Listen…… it won’t be gigantic amounts… Tell ya what….consider this your oayment for fixing my ship…. it’s payment plans because he’ll we owe you. I owe you..”

Carlos blinked at Yondu. “I… I really owe you guys,” he said softly. “You brought me back home when you could have just dropped me when I fixed the engines. Ravagers don’t do things out of the goodness of their hearts… so that makes this even more special.”

“Look carlos… please just take it. And please… we all would be dead if we hadn’t found you ok…. in the end I had s thought to just .. keep you the original promise to take you homexwas a lie ok…. a lie…. I had no intention of doing it but…..I must have a weakness to terrans it something because I just…. started on the trip to terra……..I owe you far more then you owed me. I owe you my life…. my crews life…. my boys lives….. you did a lot more. You never gave up even when some things happened…”

Kraglin came up behind Yondu, giving Carlos a serious look. “Take it. Like ya said, Ravagers ain’t about doin’ things outta the goodness of our hearts.”

Carlos was speechless for a moment. He looked between Yondu and Kraglin. “Um… o-okay, then,” he said softly. “Uh… Yeah. Thank you.”

Yondu nods and smiles. “Krags.. go fetch Tullk and Jamie before they end up mating in the grass. You know how they can’t control them selves….” blinks frowning when he hears a car drive up but settles figuring it was just there father.

Carlos turned toward the garage door when he heard it opening. He smiled. “Wait a second guys – I’m going to help my dad carry in some stuff.”

Kraglin just grunted as he went back outside to get Tullk and Half-nut back in the house.

Jamie was already half undressed as he and Tullk have There fun out in the grass.

Yondu nods and leans against the wall finally dropping down his bag and pulls from his coat a small folded bag of beastie worms and crunches on some as he looks at Mikey.

Mikey smiled at Yondu, but when he saw the Beastie Worms he made a slight face. He quickly turned away, hoping Yondu didn’t see it.

Kraglin sat beside Yondu with his can of fruity bubbly drink that Mikey gave him, blocking most of Mikey’s sight of the worms.

Yondu looks to him. “Did ya summon the two love birds?” Looks up as Jamie walks in zipping up his jumper with a dazed look on his face.

Kraglin just grunted and nodded. He was this close to just sending them back to the M-ship for the rest of the visit.

The garage door could be heard closing and Carlos opened the door into the house. He was carrying a few plastic grocery bags and he held the door open for his father, who hobbled in carrying one as well.

Mr Ramon looked over the visitors and smiled. “Well hello – it’s nice to see you all again!”

Yondu grins and waves getting up going over to help. “Good to see you again. I brought you some things from space. And some beastie worms.. few bags of em.”

Mr Ramon blinked blankly at Yondu. “Uh… I’m sorry, what? What did you say?”

“Dad, do you have the galactic translator on?” Carlos asked him.

Mr Ramon looked at Carlos before it dawned on him. “Oh! Oh, no – I don’t. It’s up in my jewelry box.”

Carlos chuckled. “Okay… I’ll get it after we put some things down. Yondu says it’s good to see you too and he brought some stuff back – like Beastie Worms.”

Mr Ramon beamed and looked at Yondu. “Oh yes – thank you! That’s very thoughtful of you! I apologize – I didn’t know you were arriving so soon or I would have already gotten the translator out. Bear with me, please.”

Yondu nods and waves him off with a grin as he lugs the bags to the kitchen peter was stealing sips of kraglins soda as he lays half over his back craving that closeness again.

Jamie was sniffing at a pineapple and a potato curiously and poked it.

“Careful,” Tullk murmured to Half-nut. “Ya don’t know what those are…”

“He shouldn’t try eating them,” Carlos commented. “They’re not prepared, and one of them’s a little dangerous uncooked.”

Jamie whines. “Jamie likes pups… upset he can’t have pups because of

Peter yelps and then yelps again as Jamie swats his head. “owe! Jamie!”

He frowns at him. “Your being rude… behave…” turns to Mikey. “Sorry for his childishness. He knows better…..”

Yondu blinks at carlos and grins. “Good to see you again…”

Carlos cracked a slight smile. “Uh, good to see you too,” he said. He gently pushed on Yondu to help him stand up. “You okay?”

Mikey just shrugged at Half-nut and smiled. “He’s a kid – they do that.”

“Watch yourself,” Kraglin growled at Peter. “When Half-nut tells you to behave, then you outta know you’re out of line.”

Peter nods swallowing and actually presses against Kraglin. He knew the rules. Halfnut was a bit unstable but everyone knew when he says stop you stop or he’ll make you stop… and someone ends up dead.

Jamie blinks and goes back to Tullk then looks to Mikey tilting his head in a way that said he was thinking morbid thoughts ten he shakes his head the look in his eyes changingvto the innocent look.

Yondu motions for Tullk to settle Jamie’s mind. He was in halfnut mode and that wasn’t a good mode to be in right now.

Tullk nodded and gently, but firmly, turned to take Jamie back outside. “C’mon… it’s a nice night out. Let’s lookit the trees…”

Mikey was confused, but chalked it up to alien stuff so he didn’t ask.

“Dad’s out doing some last-minute shopping,” Carlos told Yondu with a smile. “C’mon in and sit down, okay? Any of you thirsty?”

Jamie looks to Tullk. He was a bit stiff and his eyes were hard and distant a clear sign that it was halfnut right now not the calm gentle Jamie.

Yondu nods. “Peter behave…. you got halfnut going…. Krags…. relax…. do something fun.” Follows carlos to the couches then hugs him. “Missed you.”

“Let’s go to the kitchen,” Mikey suggested to Kraglin and Peter with a smile. “Tell me what kind of stuff you guys have been up to.” He turned and motioned for them to follow him.

Carlos hugged Yondu back without hesitation. Last time they touched Yondu had just about kissed the life out of him. But any awkwardness that Carlos felt from that wasn’t present as he was just happy to see the other man again. “Missed you too,” he said. “How have you been?”

Peter followed him to the kitchen dragging Kraglin with him.

Yondu smiles nuzzling into Carlos’s warmth. “Been good… well not lawfully… hehe. Just got done with my hybernation… Krags will be soon… peter hates that…. he’ll end up snuggled next to him for a majority of it like he does with me… you know how it is.”

Carlos hummed. “Might be why he’s sounding so grumpy already,” he mused. “Kraglin, I mean. It’s like when a toddler gets cranky when they need a nap.” He leaned back against the back of the couch. “So… how are the space whales? You already talked about them a couple hours ago… I’m just wondering if anything changed, I guess.”

“I was noticing they were protecting a young female…. she’s looking a bit rotund… I have no doubt big daddy will be parent to another child. I’ll keep taking pictures…. I’ll send them to you Of the new baby. And yes… kraglins patience ya running thin. But to be honest… I’ve never seen my boys so close. They always sleep in the same bunk…”

“Ooh – a new baby would be fun,” Carlos said with a smile. But he then tilted his head in a bit of concern. “Is Pete still having trouble being alone? Is he still… sad?”

Yondu grins. “The pod of them just keep growing. It’s a good sign.” Smiles and pulls out some pictures for carlos. “He’s a lot better…. we got a new doc on board…. she’s been helping him…. few weeks ago peter just suddenly climbed into the bunk with Kraglin and just cried. Admitting to both of us that seeing us hybernation and not wake up reminded him of his mom going to sleep and not waking up. Took three days before my hybernation to show him that even though I’m asleep I’ll still be alive…”

“Still, after nearly ten years, he’s having trouble, huh?” Carlos asked. “I’m sorry… kids just have a habit of clinging to things that they shouldn’t, I guess. But it’s very good that he’s getting some help… I”m very happy to hear that. And thank goodness that Kraglin is understanding.”

“He’s a great brother…. even though I know he want to choke him sometimes…. hehe… but yeah… he’s never liked us hybernating… never… I don’t think he’ll grow from that any time soon either…”

“Eventually he will,” Carlos assured Yondu. “He’s got someone to talk to now who can help him… so I’m sure he’ll get better. He’s very lucky to have you guys, you know?”

“I think we’re lucky to have him honestly…” Jumps when he hears the sound of a laser shot gun out back. “Shit. Tullk! Nut!” Looks out at them but nut was laying in his back in the grass.

Carlos was next to Yondu in an instant, peering out the back door.

Tullk’s shadow waved at them. “It’s okay! He got hit by the kickback! He’s fine!”

“What are you guys doing shooting lasers in my backyard?” Carlos asked incredulously. “I have neighbors – what if one of them calls the police??”

Yondu whistles and knocks the shot gun from halfnut a hands. “Jamie…. down… now…..Tullk… work your magic…. can have halfnut… we need Jamie…”

Peter grins. “Do What Mom always did… just say it was bottle rockets… no joke.. works every time.”

“Not in September in the middle of a forest!” Carlos hissed. “Somebody’s going to get arrested for sure! Guys, seriously – do not draw your weapons while you’re here!”

Tullk went to lie down with Half-nut, covering the other’s body completely so that he couldn’t move. “Hey lad… who’s here? Who’s here with ya?” he crooned softly.

Yondu nods pulling carlos back inside. “Sorry… you know halfnut and Jamie…. dunno what spurred halfnut to the surface but we won’t have anymore weapon shots promise.”

Halfnut groans and grabs at his head rubbing near the scar on his head. “Tullk… Tullk s with me….. always with me…. nuts here… he’s here too…. he’s mean…. hurts people…… hurts Tullk…… don’t like nut … don’t like him at all…. he likes blood….. Jamie’s likes …nature….”

“Tullk’s here with ya, lad,” Tullk murmured, petting the other’s hair. “Keep talking… keep thinking about Jamie.”

“Why did you guys bring weapons? Did you think you were gonna get shot at?” Carlos asked, a little bit exasperated and concerned.
