Tilts
his head and leans in and kisses his head. “While you look cute when
you Worry I’d rather you didn’t worry. I won’t let you be hurt.”

Carlos’ mind stopped for a moment when Yondu had leaned in
and bumped their helmets together. He glanced at the other, frowning slightly
in confusion, but realized that it was a gesture of affection on Yondu’s part.
Or maybe it was a kiss – he didn’t know, he couldn’t feel it through the
helmet.

“I… I’m sorry,” he said apologetically. “I just… you’re
talking about spacing people while we’re
outside in space. I… can we change the subject? If it isn’t too much to ask…”
Carlos hated to ask, but if he was going to finish the job and do it well, he
realized he needed a distraction from… the nothing that surrounded him.

“Yeah.. Sorry…. I have to work on the threats around you… the meaning I was trying to get across was they try anything it’s the last thing they do.” Looks around handing him tool he asks for at times.

Carlos was thankful and sooner than he thought he started to
feel comfortable with the work that he was doing. At least, less uncomfortable –
being without a floor or gravity was still really disconcerting. But with Yondu
there, hanging onto him so he didn’t drift off, he was doing pretty good.

“I think we’re getting close to proper safety parameters,”
Carlos said eventually. “I’ll have the seals tested in just a bit.”

Nods then grins and pulls Carlos away from his work to turn towards the void and a school of space whales as the called them. Bioilluminecent sting Ray/jelly fish floating around the void.

Carlos was at first confused when Yondu touched him, but
when he felt the pulling a brief flare of panic went up his spine and he
quickly grabbed onto Yondu’s arm, accidentally releasing the wrench he had.

But suddenly, that panic was replaced with awe as he saw the
creatures moving by the ship. He barely had any mind to grab the wrench before
it floated away before returning his attention to the beasts floating alongside
them.

“Oh my god,” Carlos murmured in wonder, watching them. “They’re
like… it’s like an ocean.”

“They are harmless gentle creatures. They love to play with space travelers. Come.” Uses the jet boots and slowly flies himself and carlos to the creatures and they make ringing sounds that seem to echo around them.

Carlos yelped slightly, clinging onto Yondu as he they were
jetted toward the animals. “Wait – wait, play?
Yondu, isn’t that – isn’t this a bit dangerous? We’re not tethered to the ship!”

That noise… it was impossible to make noise in space because
it was a vacuum – there was no air for the sound to vibrate through. How in the
hell was he hearing this? Was it… was it some sort of telepathy thing?

“I
don’t think so. Tullk and I go way back….. but halfnut….. Jamie is his
world. His mate. Loves him like he’s never loved anything else before.
To him Jamie is uhhh his angel you could say…”

“So… they wanted to try breaking him then?” Carlos asked. He
supposed he could see how that would make Yondu an easier target in that case…

Carlos refocused his work on looking at the components
inside and repairing the glass to the viewing window.

“Yeah…. shitty way to do it… going after jamie…… I really hope the kid pulls through….Tullk will never let him out of his sight…”

Carlos hummed, holding the materializer steady as it rebuilt and repaired the window. “If he’s lasted this long… then maybe he’s getting better and we just haven’t seen it yet.” Carlos wasn’t a doctor, but he didn’t think viruses or bacteria would last much longer in a person’s system. “So, what do you plan to do? Put watches on the access airlocks?”

“Something like that….. got oblo installing some more secret security cams…. anyone tries anything funny I’ll airlock him.”

Carlos paused, shuddering at the idea of someone being shot
out into space… where he currently was, with less than half an inch of space
suit protecting him.

Don’t think about
that! Focus!
God, this was going to drive Carlos mad. And give him
nightmares.

“It… sounds like you have everything under control, then,”
Carlos murmured, staring at the regenerating window. “You have a plan, I mean.
Which is good.” His words felt a little clipped as he said them – he was trying
really hard not to freak out.

“Hey….. you don’t have to worry…. I’m always going to protect you. I swear it carlos…. ok…”

“Yeah – Yeah, I know!” Carlos said, his tone unnaturally
high. He cleared his throat. “I – I mean, you said you would. I’m – I’m sorry,
I’m just trying to f-focus.” He tried to take a deep breath and stare at the
glass again.

Smiles and kicks off the back of the wall and pulls Carlos with him. “Careful now….” leads him to the bay windows to work on.

Carlos floated along with Yondu, grabbing onto handholds whenever they neared them.

As they neared the bay windows Carlos started to assess the situation. “Did you already grab everything I need?” he asked Yondu, spotting a small container mounted nearby on the hull. Carlos himself brought out a toolbelt, but not many components.

“Yes. Got it all already….” nods to him as he starts to pull up the panels. Hesaw a smear of red and realized it’s where half had hit trying to keep from being sucked out into the void.

Carlos started to get to work, trying to distract his mind
from the void behind him. He started to undo clasps on a damaged panel with one
of his wrenches. As he went on, nearly finishing it, he finally noticed the bit
of red and frowned. God… to see some of it outside
of the ship. He wondered if Half-nut’s foot got caught or something while he
was pulling himself in.

“Have we analyzed what could be on the hull?” Carlos asked
through the in-suit radio. “Like, what sort of germs?”

“You name it carlos… it’s why he’s so sick…. we’re treating him for a multitude of bacteria and virus’s…… and with the void being as it is.. bacteria throughbout it’s frozen airless black…. who knows…. most people don’t live more then a few days…. half’s… well… he’s fighting it…. and he has people who care..”

Carlos made a low, unhappy groan that didn’t quite translate
over the radio. He went about removing the panel and magnetizing it to the
nearby container. He was starting to remember how he literally thought Kraglin
would have spaced him given the chance, and now… it just scared him even more,
the thought of being in space.

“What, uh… if Half-nut had been stuck out here… do you think
Tullk would have left us?” That’s what he assumed the saboteur was trying to do
– make Tullk leave so Yondu had less friends around.
