Yondu
hums. “Yes and no. I have a soft spot for cute things and people if
call family. Halfnut and Tullk have been with me for quite a while. Same
as Oblo. He’s loyal as hell. Dumb as a rock but loyal.”

Carlos chuckled softly. “Really? Oblo? I guess that explains
why he’s here. No offense meant, but he is the sort who needs someone looking
after him, especially in this line of work I think.”

“He’s good people…. listens. So long as he gets paid and no one hurts who he cares about or makes fun of his low iq he’s good. May even share those sugar dusted cookies he loves so much. Spends all his extra credits on those things at every damn port…”

“Awe, that’s cute,” Carlos said with a smile. “Uh, don’t
tell him I said that either. I don’t want the guys picking on him more… or me,
for that matter.”

“Yeah.. he’s pink.. like pink pink… so the Harrass him about it… he goes to his group of good people and the others leave him alone. He likes you because your nice to him. And…” hears a yelling fight go on down bellow and sees some crew fighting with Tullk. Another fighting half who was doing a puss poor attempt to fight back.

Carlos turned to look down as well, trying to accidentally
catch a glimpse of Yondu’s ass (while Yondu might have been okay with it,
Carlos wasn’t quite ready for it).

“Oh my god… what’s going on now?” he asked, mild distress in
his voice. This was supposed to be a nice mini vacation, not a rumble.

Yondu growls agreeing and stands not at all bothered by his nudity and gives Carlos a nice full moon as he whistles killing the crew attacking Tullk and half who sputters as he surfaces coughing. “The fuck is going on here?!!!!”

Carlos yelped softly and put a hand up to shield his line of
vision. He looked down into the water he was sitting in, waiting until Yondu
either left to deal with the mess himself or sorted it out and sat back down.

“Just changin’ some opinions, Captain!” Tullk shouted out. “Respectfully
speakin’!”

“Uhh Huh… well settle down now! Go back to yer soaking. I’m trying to flarking relax. Anyone else wanna join those idiots go a head I’ll whistle. Dump those bodies over the cliffs and go back to your vacation!” Settles back down and looks to carlos and grins. “My ass can’t be that ugly.” Teases and pulls him into a kiss.

Halfnut coughs as oblo drags the bodies away and look to Tullk.

Carlos made a small noise, but didn’t respond to Yondu’s
comment. “You’ve been carving down the crew quite a bit,” he told the blue man.
“I mean lately…”

Tullk went to Half-nut’s side and pulled him in close for a
hug. He then started to look over him. “You okay, boy-o?”

Yondu looks to carlos then whispers. “We’re going through a revamp of the crew…. we’re finding g ones that are trouble and getting rid of them. Those idiots though funny to attack in broad daylight…. don’t worry about it. We’ll be a good loyal crew soon enough..”

Half clings to him coughing a bit and nods shaking his head of water and just floats against him and smiles. “To be honest… I feel pretty good.” Snuggles up against his mate.

Carlos frowned slightly, but nodded. “I hope it’s soon,” he
said. “I’m… not really fond of constant visits from the Grim Reaper, you know?”
He then added, “I mean, you know, the person that takes dead people to the
afterlife and stuff. Sorry… I don’t know if you guys have an equivalent.”

Tullk just spat into the water and held Half-nut close. “Rest
up… let the water relax you, Jamie.”

“We do kind of….but no worries… the purge is almost done.”

Peter looks at tullk and halfnut biting his lip and lookscdown guiltily.

Carlos snorted softly. “That sounds like a terrible
holo-film,” he said.

Kraglin was nearby, inspecting his dirty fingernails. He
noticed Peter moving out of the corner of his eye and so he looked at the boy
with a frown. “What’re you makin’ that face for?” he asked.

Yondu grins and kisses him then tosses the orb up to take pictures.

“…. it was my fault….. what happened to Jamie……. “

Kraglin frowned deeper. “What you talkin’ about?” he asked. “Y’know
someone’s out to hurt Yondu. It ain’t you’re fault, Pete.”

“Not that……. “ stands and heads over to halfnut and Tullk. “Hey.. ummm. Glad your feeling better…… I…. I’m sorry…. it’s my fault…”

Tullk looked up at the boy with a slight frown. “Don’t go
around apologizing – can’t let the crew hear ya, boy. An’ what do you got to be
sorry about?”

Peter worries his lip then looks at them. “I… I opened the doors to the void…… but I didn’t mean for it to get half……. I.. I was trying to get revenge on the one who hurt me…”

Tullk seemed to bristle immediately.

“Kid… Do the captain know about this?” he asked lowly. “Because
this whole time he been thinkin’ that it were one of them that’s tryin’ to
sabotage him.”

Yondu nods to him then looks to Tullk. “Keep me updated on him. I’ll let you know when we land. So you can take him to the Hot springs. Come on carlos. Lets head out.” Rubs Carlos’s ear lightly in affection.

Carlos shivered slightly. He stowed his phone away and stood
up to follow Yondu.

“Good luck, Captain,” Tullk told him as they started to
leave.

“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.

“No ones going to hurt carlos. Of that I can assure you.”Smiles at Carlos.

Half whines and stops breathing for a moment then coughs and shifts snuggling against tullks chest.

Carlos’ heart lurched for Half-nut. He looked at Yondu. “Um,
Captain… the medicine,” he reminded.

“Right….. “ sets the medicine down then pours more tea and hands it to Tullk and helps him hold halfnut as he starts one of his seizures then settles down. Yondu put the cup to half’s lips.

Carlos just stood by awkwardly, watching them try to get
some tea and medicine into the sick Ravager.

It was pretty scary, seeing Halfnut like this. Who the hell would
do this to someone?

Yondu watches him then grabs the brush brushing his long black hair. “We’ll be landing on a planet with natural hot springs. They are mineral torch hand the waters have healing properties….you should take him to soak.”

Tullk looked at him with a slightly raised eyebrow. “That’s
a much fancier place for leave than usual, Captain,” he said, teasing very slightly.
Tullk though was really grateful.

Yondu gives him a look a slight purple to his cheeks. “Keep it up and I’ll have Oblo take Jamie there and you’ll be stuck here.” Blinks as Jamie starts purring from having the brush massage his scalp with every stroke.

Tullk just gave him a toothy grin, but said nothing as
Half-nut’s purring had drawn his attention. He held the youngest Ravager close,
rubbing his arm soothingly.

Carlos wasn’t sure what to do with himself. He was tired of
just standing there awkwardly so he went and sat in an old chair at the far
corner of the room. He pulled his phone
out and, as he’d done many times since being taken from Earth, he started to go
through his text conversations with his Dad and his brother. It was sort of a
sad game – just reading and trying to imagine the words in his family’s voices.

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??”
