No No Vito

No. No. No. No. No. No. (26)

After a few hours, the group met up at the M-ship, Yondu laughed a little seeing what his son was carrying, "Think ya picked out a big enough toy, son?" he joked. Vito simply gave a little yawn, head resting on top of the giant toy jellyfish, pacifier falling from his mouth as he did. Kraglin hummed softly, bending down to pick it up for him.
"Seems someone is worn out, huh?" he cooed, Vito simply gave tired babble in reply, the sleepiness putting him into a temporary younger headspace, one he didn't typically go into without a nudge. He nuzzled into the big toy.
Tullk smiled softly in amusement, "Horuz gave it to him," he explained, patting the grumpy ravager's back. This rightfully surprised the two parents who looked to Horuz who now was looking at Tullk with a positively, downright hateful look.
Eventually, he got out gruffly, "Was just to keep the brat from crying. That's a headache I'd rather avoid."
Kraglin rolled his eyes and went to take Vito back but the baby whined nuzzling into Oblo instead. While the Krylorian smiled a bit, Kraglin was rather surprised making Yondu laugh again, "Seems like ya've been replaced Krags," Kraglin didn't find this funny at all and huffed. Tullk chuckled softly but was quick to try and fix the situation.
"Poor mama, he's so sad," that, sure enough made Vito peek out and reach both arms out to him, seeming to abandon holding onto his new prized toy.
The first mate couldn't help but ease and chuckle, taking Vito, and the toy, into his arms. Vito first nuzzled all up against Kraglin but eventually peeked out to him, prattling on in baby gibberish. Kraglin couldn't help but smile, finding it rather adorable, Yondu was a bit taken back but he couldn't resist liking it.
"Aww, listen to him," Yondu cooed, rubbing his son's cheek, he sighed softly and smiled, "well let's head back, I think we're gonna head back to the ship, it's late and some tyke's beddy bye time."
A little coo came in reply with a yawn following after. The group all settled into the seats they were in before and Vito was in Kraglin's lap. It was mostly silent until they reached the ship. Despite some attempts from Kraglin, Vito didn't want to drift off to sleep so they had a cranky baby.
"C'mon, baby boy," Kraglin cooed as he and the group stepped on the ship, bouncing Vito gently with Yondu close by, totting the bags of baby items.
Horuz snorted at them, "Good luck with all that," he called more mockingly as he waved his hand dismissively, heading to rest before his next shift. Tullk smiled softly and amusedly, patting Yondu's back.
He leaned forward to see little, grumpy Vito, "Try not to be too hard on them, laddie," he cooed earning a small swat in reply making Tullk chuckle, wave bye and head off to pilot. Oblo snuck off more not wanting to face the little's sleepy wrath.
"That wasn't nice, son," Yondu chided gently making Vito whine, Yondu almost chuckled until he saw tears in his eyes, it made Yondu's heart leapt out in worry, "Oh, oh baby, don't cry," he cooed, "papa was just playin."
Kraglin bounced him gently, "Someone's so sleepy he's getting emotional," he cooed, kissing his head, "someone just needs a baba," Vito hiccupped softly sadly and started to cry.
"Yeah, I know sugar plum," he looked back to Yondu, "I'm gonna fix him a bottle then we'll join you," he then added quickly, "if that's ok with ya, sir."
Yondu hesitated a moment before he snorted, "I mean, yeah, if ya are ready fer what we agreed on," he nodded. He didn't say anything just yet, that was a discussion he needed with a big Vito and the boy was the farthest thing from as of now. Kraglin smiled softly and nodded regardless, seeming to catch on. He carried Vito to the mess hall, humming to him as he did. Vito continued to cry though. It was breaking Kraglin's heart, still, he pressed on with making the bottle l, trying to soothe him as he did.
"Oh baby boy," he cooed gently, "please don't cry," he put the bottle in the heating object, "what do you have to be upset with?" he gently brushed some of the tears with his thumb but the only thing he got in reply was another rather small but pitiful and infantile sob.
"You can't talk, huh?" he cooed but held Vito closer, gently brushing his hand through his hair, "Ok, don't worry about it baby," he cooed. The bottle finished and Kraglin grabbed it, bringing the little and the bottle to Yondu's room.
Yondu was a bit surprised to see Vito still crying when Kraglin and him returned, he was sure the boy would settle down, "He still upset?" he asked though it was obvious and Kraglin nodded slightly.
"Think he's just a sleepy little fella, sir."
"Have ya checked his diaper?" Kraglin indeed had on the M-ship but he checked again to be sure. He shook his head as the diaper was still dry.
"Not the issue, sir."
Yondu mentally cursed, he hated when his son was upset and even more so when he cried.
"Well, lay the boy down and give him the bottle," Kraglin obediently did so, having Vito lay between them but the little couldn't seem to muster the strength to hold the bottle, likely because of how young he was in his headspace. Yondu sighed but lifted him up and held the bottle for him, this seemed to work though a few stray tears still leaked out.
Kraglin moved closer to Yondu and softly started to sing. Soon enough, the captain joined in too. Between both of them singing, Vito eventually dozed off. Kraglin did too, head laying on Yondu's shoulder. Yondu took a moment again to admire the two males he adored before drifting off himself.

(A/N: Sorry this chapter is shorter and a bit boring, it was just filler to wrap up the night. The next few chapters will be more action packed as I have a lot planned and they should be published fairly soon as my Thanksgiving break is coming up (next chapter may be posted later today if I get it done in time). I also eventually plan to do more with the younger headspace for Vito. So, stay tuned for that. I hope you all enjoyed and have an amazing day/night!)
