It was loud, they were arguing, they were throwing food but it was fun
Damned hormones, Echo smiled as the thought hit hard, Home, Groot launched peas into water glasses, Peter hid his greenbeans in a napkin, that was progress ok so not its intended purpose but he was using it, and Yondu didnt even try to hide it as he slid his carrots onto Kraglins plate
Her misfit family
"Your all gonna get scurvy at this rate"
"im NOT curvey" indignant Drax emphasised by mashing his palm to the table it was ruined as the mashed potatoe Rocket flung managed to explode out from under his fingers splattering Gamora and Mantis
"im the perfect weight for my size" licking his fingers clean giggle shaking your head
"Skurvy is when you get sick from not eating your veg" knowing your audiences limited attention span it was the best explanation theyd actually take in
placing her plate in the sink and depositing Yondus carrots back on his plate with a pointed look echo smiled
"i aint eatin them woman ah hate them wierd things" Youndu grumped as calloused blue hands pulled her down onto his lap cradling her close
"fine 'sigh' but im not scouring the markets for vitamin pills if you dont at least make the effort to eat well the rare times we're able to get fresh veg" kissing his nose he proceded to pretended to vomit behind the chair much to the hilarity of the group Kraglin however saw his opportunity and started to clear the table hated carrots and all as talk turned to the upcoming holiday
... ... ...
Singing along to some clones of peters music the smell of baking cakes wafts around the m ship waking its inhabitants
hips swaying as she weighed and measured frosting Echo chukled to herself her bondmates were as fussy as toddlers telling them outright to eat their veg would cause them to dig heels in refusing anything remotly healthy for weeks in a bid to prove they didnt need it trying to out do each other like a wierd competition
making mini carrot cake muffins with added apples and raisins for breakfast and calling them breakfast cakes however or her magenta pasta sauce for tea had her men claiming she was the best cook in the quadrant as they asked for seconds haha
bare arms wrapped around her waist pulling her back into his chest, lips kisseing a trail up her neck hot puffs of breath lingering as Kraglin nipped her ear
"mmm youve been busy"
"sometimes i want to treat my boys"
his hips jerk suddenly into hers as Yondu slaps his arse feet silent on the floor as he steals two stright off the cooling rack
"much better than them damn carroty things luv"
a few crumbs clung to his lips as yondu tugged her into a deep kiss so Kraglin could swipe his own
" oh what the hell" chuckling Echo reached into her pocket pulling out a tattered old recipie card and placing it on the cooling rack
"theres more carroty things in each of those cakes than you'd ever believe look at the recipe"
"yah wouldn't"
"its the same recipie iv always used you both like it stop being big kids and eat your veg"
calculating eyes hold a silent conversation
"so can you do carrits like this to go wit
tea?"
... ... ...
shortly before they were due to disengaged and return to the Ecclector II a knock at the shuttle door startled echo from her book, they wernt due visitors? and her mates were out on some important last minute errand
"open up girly hands are full"
"yondu?" confused but activating the bio lock anyway Yondu and Kraglin barreled in each carring a large crate full of carrots and apples
"any chance of more o them carroty cakes?"
(i constantly have to change the names of food to get my kids to eat which is embarrassing as im actually a cook my husband is as fussy as my kids so hiding veg in things is my speciality)
