So for the lovely @deskgirl​‘s birthday I offered to write something and was told “ Honestly anything you feel inspired to write would make me happy. I’d take scifi slice of life, just off the top of my head. Or let the space boys have some action if you can think of a good plot. Brawls are good. Emergency crash landing. Someone getting busted up and needing to be taken care of. Go wild. And take your time if you need it, no rush “ Well a fight never came to mind but I did manage some little cute slice of life blurbs, one for each of the Beestrix boys. Set in drasticly different times. ________

“We’re here!” Mateudj cheered delighted as he swung from his seat and made his way from the bridge followed by his papoi’s laugher. Since his brothers had found their own places to settle and Sarake’d did have his work as pilot Mateudj had needed to find his own methods of mobility. He had forgone any prosthetic replacements, the idea of modifying his body, even beneficially, had been enough to cause severe panic attacks. Instead modifications had been made to the ship around him allowing him to swing and amble freely through each room as easily as his family.The cargo bay though was too vast for him to do anything just drop to the floor and walk by hand down the lowering ramp his balance the result of years of practice. He cheered again spotting his eldest brother head and shoulders above many others a safe distance away on the dock. The older beestrix could have approached already knowing when there was no danger in doing so but instead he waited smiling as Matteudj approached. He preferred to see his little brother leave the ship happy and of his own accord. Though the second he could reach he would scoop his little brother into the warmest hug and catch up on all they had missed.   *~*~* “Where’s Sarake’d?”“He said he was going to his quarters to rest, so I’m watching the controls.” “Mateudj?” “Painting.” Sedj pouted, he had hoped for a little company but now both his brothers seemed to be occupied and Sarake’d was taking a nap. Actually a nap sounded rather nice…Sarake’d hadn’t hesitated to invite him in when he knocked but Sedj did as he stepped into the room. The bygon had clearly been settled in and possibly already asleep when he had interrupted. “Is something wrong dano’ nei'man?” The comforting endearment was enough of an invitation to make his request as he stepped closer, “I was wondering if maybe I could nap with you? Nothing sexual I swear, it’s just my brothers are busy and I dunno a little rest sounds really good maybe a ….cuddle? I’m all dressed even see?”  He did a little turn to show his shorts and tanktop in fact covered all they should, “I mean…” He stopped rambling as he realized Sarake’d was smiling and now patting an empty spot on the bed. Laughing in relief and at his own expense Sedj finished crossing the room to drop on the bed snuggling close as his foster father tucked his head under his chin. “Thanks Dad.” “Sleep well Sedj.”   *~*~*
