Scratches the back of his head. “I… uhhh well…. I’d… like to…. uhhh as humans say… court you….”

Carlos blinked at him. “Court…?” he asked. He
tried to think – was he mis-hearing that? Or was the translator giving him the
wrong words? “I’m… I’m sorry if this all sounds like the same word for your
translator, but like… wooing? Pursuing romantically? Wanting to date?”

Yondu blinks a bit and thinks a bit then nods. “Yeah.. that sounds about right.”

Carlos just stared at him. He barely held himself back from saying ‘what the shit?’ out loud. “Wha… I’m… I’m flattered, I guess, but… I’m a little confused. Why… why me? I’m just… you know, I’m just a guy…”

He shrugs. “Because I’m… interested… so….. am I allowed or…. not?”

“You are – I mean, you are allowed to like me,”
Carlos said quickly. “I just… don’t understand, I guess. You… you’re a captain. I’m… kinda surprised you aren’t
already taken.” He then frowned. “Unless your species takes multiple partners…
then I’m afraid I’m going to have to turn you down. I… I don’t know about being
just one of… more than one.”

“I don’t know much about my species….. but … that’s a story for another time….. but as for me.. no I have no…. other or mate….”

Carlos nodded slightly, looking down at his
plate awkwardly. “Ah,” he said softly. He moved some of the beans on his plate
around. “You know… I didn’t think I’d find someone out in space who wouldn’t
mind going out with a human. I… I guess I thought my species would generally be
too stupid or… I mean, in the sense of not being advanced enough.”

“Hmmmm…
the crew brags…. I’ll find the one and they will be properly punished.”
Looks to him and swallows. “I… um… I really appreciate…. what you’ve
done… not just the engines…..”

Carlos looked at him. “Really?” he asked. “I
mean, I … I haven’t done much else… have I?”

“You done a lot more. Thank you Carlos. I’m….. gonna be sad to see you go…….. “

Carlos blinked at him. “Huh? Well, I’m sure
you can find someone else to work on your ship. Someone more qualified – I mean,
I’m just a human who happened to be a mechanical engineer back on Earth and was
lucky enough to get a universal translator stuck in my neck when I was
abducted.”

“Yeah… yeah of course……. I’m just….. never mind.”

Carlos frowned at him, a little concerned. “What
is it, Captain? You can… I mean, I’m not a Ravager. I’m not out to try and get
your job or anything – I don’t have any angle. So… you can tell me.”

Looks at him and snuggles up against his chest holding onto him. “I’ll think about it…. love you Kraglin…bro.”

Kraglin wrapped his other arm around Peter and
held him close. Later Yondu might laugh at him and take a picture of the two of
them sitting together like this, but right now Kraglin didn’t care. He just
wanted peter to feel wanted and… loved.

Yondu munches on some beastie worms watching Carlos. “So…. my boys… sorry about them…”

Carlos looked at Yondu. He shrugged, pushing
around the leafy greens on his plate before grabbing a forkful and putting it
in his mouth.

“They’re okay,” he said. “It was rough at
first… but we all figured out our own boundaries.” Sort of. “Though now we got
to figure it out again. But I really couldn’t be mad at them forever. It’s…
some humans can’t do that, you know.”

“Ehhh Yeah…. but that’s all new groups and things…. of course we all learn boundaries here….. and if those don’t follow… well they get a whistle…”

“Oh, I was just referring to your… to the
boys,” Carlos said. “As for the rest of the crew… I honestly don’t know many of
them.” He frowned slightly. “Though, yeah… Kraglin was right – one of them put
a space-rat in my quarters. I don’t know who it was.”
