"WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?!"

"Good question...your highness" A voice purred.

Corpse turned slowly to the right to see a small android cat perched on the balcony next to him, its sleek black metal and piercing green robotic eyes making him feel immediate nostalgia.

"Hera..." He breathed, the last time his best friend had come to see him was when he first left his family, the nanny-cat(droid?) had offered to tag along but Corpse had refused, something about wanting to 'find himself'

"I've finally found you, prince Adam"

One of her claws began to tap on the ground in what looked like a pattern, she repeated it a few times before Corpse understood that it was Morris code.

They...are watching...Don't make...it...obvious you...know. Blink...twice if you...understand

He blinked at her with a straight face, trying to act as normal as possible,

"I can't believe you're here, it's cold out. Come inside" He smiled at her and opened the door, following her inside. He ordered everyone to silently put on their masks so their faces couldn't be traced, when Hera turned back around they were alone in the room.

He heard more deliberate nail clicking, and didn't dare turn around. He acted like he was washing the dishes and wiping down the counters.

I will betray you...but not...of my own will...they have audio...and...video....I have a....message from...your mother....I will leave the...file on...the table.

Corpse frowned before facing his friend, although an Android, she could still feel and love him. He smiled sadly and a tear slipped down his cheek.

"I'm not okay, I'm not okay~" Sykkuno was singing to himself while cleaning dishes in the ship's kitchen. The other crewmates were huddled around the control console, trying to decide their next course of action. Sykkuno wasn't really sure about the whole pizza business anymore, or just his life in general. He was going through a rough time mentally, and he didn't really feel like he had a purpose. He knew that he was living in space with his friends, but he didn't know why. But he was sure of one thing,

He'd come to the conclusion that he had a crush on a pirate.

No one else had ever taken that much of an interest in him, and Sykkuno had decided that he kind of wished that Corpse would come back to see him again.

"-The shopping planet is coming up soon, Sykkuno you should probably come to the control room-" Rae came through on the intercom

"Got it, do you guys need anything from the kitchen? Like any snacks?" He replied. Sykkuno heard chatter from down the hall and decided to just bring as much as he could carry in a little basket he found. He walked in during the middle of Toast's briefing.

"-anything you can find. Just focus on the items we need for our home gym. Poki did you figure out the training regimen?"

"I-"

"Look Sykkuni is here with snacks!" Leslie giggled and snatched a bag of chips from the top. Sykkuno sat down in his chair and slowly began to doze off.

"Corpse...you seem a little tense. Why don't you-" Sykkuno pushed the Pirate down on a couch

"Relax a bit, yeah?" The black haired man smirked and grabbed his waist,

"What are you trying to do here baby? You've been teasing me a lot recently...and it's really getting to me, ya know?" Corpse took off his mask, revealing the same face of the man who was at the clothing store on Little Jupiter. Sykkuno's eyes widened
