Carlos was a little slow to return the hug, but he did when he feared
that Hancock might lose his grip and fall somehow. Also, Hancock looked
so incredibly vulnerable… Carlos’ heart was hurting just from seeing
the tears. Hancock didn’t ever cry. Carlos felt like a monster for
making him cry, and he also felt like crying himself.

Carlos took in a shuddering breath – oh, he really did feel like crying! He breathed again, trying to even it out so he could speak.

“Hancock…
it’s o-okay,” Carlos told him softly. “You’ll be okay. We got some
medicine in you… I’ll get this place cleaned up, and with some rest
you’ll be just fine.”

Carlos supposed he should have been mad
about the substance binge, but he realized that really he was just
scared. He wanted Hancock to be well again. That’s all he wanted.

“‘M okay.” He whispered, nodding slightly and squeezing Carlos tighter. He wasn’t particularly concerned with his own health, he never really had been, but it mattered to him that it mattered to Carlos.

“Are you mad at me?” The ghoul asked softly with a little sniffle. “I…… I don’t want you to be mad. I didn’t mean to–– you were gone and I didn’t think you were coming back…… I was scared……”

Carlos swallowed, hard. “I’m not mad at you, Han,” he said softly. “I just want you to be okay.” He sighed, and he felt his throat tighten painfully. “I-I… I’m… sorry f-for leaving like that… I just went to t-the workshop. I thought you would need… need some space. After the way I re… reacted…”

Now probably wasn’t the time for this sort of discussion, but Carlos couldn’t help it. He just wanted to get it out there, hoping that Hancock might somehow understand. Carlos messed up so badly and Hancock was paying for it… He didn’t know what to do really.

As the summer days rolled by, a full moon crept closer and closer. Thankfully, the woods surrounding the camp were large and caves were scatted everywhere, maybe Carlos could wait this out in a cave? all he had to do was find one and hope some other animal didn’t make its home there, right? -(the worse starter maker) L

Carlos wandered through the forest. He knew he’d seen a cave somewhere – it looked like an old bear cave, though he hadn’t gone in it before. He wanted to be as far away from his camp and the summer camps, in case the children had an idea to wander around at night to hunt for snipes. The full moon would make visibility perfect for it, so it was a reasonable concern in Carlos’ mind.

He finally came across the cave he was looking for. And not too soon either – the moon would rise probably within the next ten minutes. Carlos ventured forth, holding his flashlight up to search the inside of the cave. Hopefully it was empty. Could a werewolf beat a bear? Maybe?

he huffed annoyedly ‘Why Would I Go After The Children? I Said I’m Already Full And They Seem To Be A Bad Choice In Food.’

Carlos just huffed back. I don’t know. I don’t even know you.

he used his wing as a shiled as he pushed past him ‘And I Don’t Either’

Carlos growled. He nipped at the wing without even thinking, but not hard.

I want to make sure you’re not going anywhere near them.

he didn’t really react to the nip, glancing back at him ‘Then.. Follow ?’

Carlos looked at them, making a low, suspicious-sounding huff. Fine. I’ll follow.

he started trotting forward, his tail wagging softly

Carlos went after the other beast, a bit stiff and cautious as they went on. He occasionally sniffed the air, trying to see if he could smell anybody near them. If one of the kids was wandering about, or if they got too close to the camp, Carlos was going to have to do something.

Gosh… he hoped Angie was being a good girl and was asleep in her tent.

after abit of walking, they reached the stream, but he stopped a few feet away from it, carefully looking around as he crouched in the bushes

Carlos looked at the other creature strangely. What are you doing?

‘Sometimes There’s Not Nice Humans Out Here..’ he hesitately moved towards the stream

Why would they come to the stream in the middle of the night? Carlos asked.

“I think so,” Carlos said. “I’m 35. Also, you were the ‘young goof’ because you already named me Big Goof. So there.” Carlos grinned as they went into the bedroom and he shut the door behind them. He reached to undo the clasp on his Pip-boy so he could put it down.

“Eh, we’re close, I’ll be there soon.” Hancock shrugged, the smile still on his face. He neglected to tell him just when he’d be the same age, but if Carlos really wanted to know, all he had to do was ask. As they stepped into the room, the ghoul stretched then pulled his coat off and set it aside on a chair, kicking his shoes off a moment later. “So then, handsome. Just how comfortable do ya wanna get for this nap?”

Carlos was already pulling off his flannel, and the undershirt with it. He looked at Hancock with a blank expression as he tried to think about what Hancock said.

“Boxers okay?” he asked. Skin-on-skin contact wasn’t something Carlos would shy away from. And it was warm enough as long as they cuddled together. Though if Hancock was asking if he wanted to go nude, he honestly felt weird about it. Not in the way that Hancock might fear however, as Carlos always preferred to wear at least boxers to bed.

He seemed surprised to be stopped by the other, puffing up his wings before growling defencively

Carlos didn’t make another move. He just stood in the other’s way, making a very low growl in his throat, but didn’t try to attack again.

he shot a glare at the other before trying to move around him, making sure not to get too close

Carlos snarled again and jumped in front of the other beast again. You are not going near that camp! Not near those kids!

he snarled, getting fed up with Carlos, so he gave his wings a few flaps, kicking up dirt and dust into the air

Carlos just barked at the other, his hackles raised and teeth bared.

No way, Jose – I don’t give a damn how big you are!

he snarled, raising a paw as he got ready to strike ‘You’re Really Trying My Nerves!’

Carlos stopped growling. What the hell?

Hey, wait – are you – are you actually talking to me?

he stopped, tilting his head in confusion ‘Wait, You Can Talk..? Why Weren’t You Earilier?’

No idea. But since I can ask, why are you going toward the camp? You really shouldn’t be heading that way.

Good that they could understand each other, but Carlos still had concerns.

he sat down ‘The Camp? I’m Going To The Stream, Why Would I Go To The Camp? There’s Nothing For Me There Anymore..’

Carlos huffed at him with a light snarl. You’re walking directly toward the camp. You actually left your kill behind at the cave. What gives?

‘I Wasn’t Hungry Anymore, And This Is The Way To The Stream, I Thought It Was Obvious..’ he looked around

Carlos’ fur started to raise. This just didn’t ring right for him. He sat down, eyes narrowing at the other beast. Not very obvious.

‘You Should Ask More Questions Then’ he got up, going to walk around him

Carlos jumped up again. He got in front of the other with a snort. How do I know you’re not going after the children? Really?
