Being a newbie sucked sometimes.

Though Behrad had been on the ship for about a month or two now (it was hard to keep track of time in the temporal zone), he still felt like he hadn’t found his spot. It wasn’t like he didn’t fit with the team; he got along with them pretty well, some better than others. It was just in that times like these, the stagnant hours or days between missions, it was hard to figure out how to fill the time.

He had been seeing what there was to get up to in the kitchen, but then Mick came in and Behrad didn’t have to be told to give the guy some space. Which had sent him down the hall towards the engine room.

“Goddamnit, how does a telepathic gorilla fuck up a ship so bad?”

“Why did I agree to this again?” Behrad asked, tucking his hands into his pockets as Jax rang the doorbell.

“Come on, it’s not like you don’t already know Grey,” he said.

“Yeah, but there’s a difference between getting high with him in the lab and having dinner with him and the rest of his family as your boyfriend.”

Jax raised an eyebrow. “You two got-” He sighed. “He already loves you, and Clarissa and Lily will too.”

“Fine.” Behrad took his hands out of his pockets. “Let’s just hope he doesn’t bring up the ‘getting high together’ thing in front of them.”

“Trust me, he won’t.”

firestoner + baking pastries for me

“Do I smell burning?”

Jax turned away from the oven. Behrad walked in from the living room, Bud and Dana already trailing at his feet. 

“It was supposed to be a surprise,” he told his boyfriend. “Though, it’s starting to seem like I should leave the baking for you.”

“Maybe,” Behrad replied. “But I’m sure whatever you made is…. at least, edible.”

“Thanks for the confidence,” Jax deadpanned, but he couldn’t help his smile when he came over to kiss him on the cheek. 

“Behrad? Are you still working on the-”

Sara stopped as Jax pulled away from him. It wasn’t fast enough, though - that, and he still had a hand in his hair.

“Hey! What did you need?” Behrad asked, as if she hadn’t walked in on them making out.

“You know, it’s not urgent,” she said. “Just don’t break anything.”

As she turned away, she heard Jax mutter, “Told you a quickie in the engine room was a bad idea.”

n like. behrad knows martin. they lived on a ship together for abt two months b4 homie retired. he was there for stein’s weird ancestor sitch. he was there for the body swap. they probably got high together at least one (1) time and it was kind of a weird experience for both of them. 

but jax brings behrad around to the stein household bc that’s what u do. u introduce ur boyfriend to ur mom, then to ur former nuclear partner who has adopted u into his family bc his wife loves u n his daughter is like ur sister. it is fine. and behrad who has probably not seen martin since he left the team is justl ike. hey man. what’s up. uh how’s that granddad life going bc it really is like dating ur coworker’s son n having to navigate that rocky landscape

n he’s like. a little worried bc martin also knows behrad’s deal. he knows he’s a stoner who also has a reputation of, u know, lying to his parents abt being a business student and stuff like that. b is like ‘this man knows all the bad shit i’ve done and will deem me Unworthy to date the dude who is practically his son’ except martin has also been waiting to set up jax with someone for two years and altho a part of him is like ‘jefferson could u have a touch better sense. some better sense plz’ bc he would have preferred him to date an Actual Business Student PLEASE JEFFERSON-

and it is the awkwardest family dinner until martin takes behrad aside before dessert n basically gives him the shovel talk bc just bc he is nearly 70 years old does not mean he is not a little intimidating but then he’s like. and look. when u two get married just know that i am a rabbi and - yes, mr. tarazi, i’m aware you’re a muslim man but just know that i would be happy to perform u n jefferson’s ceremony

so that happens. n we cannot even talk abt CLARISSA AND LILY who are also teasing abt jax’s new beau and how he’s so handsome n dignified when martin lets it slip that ‘we got high once’ and jax wishes they still had that psychic bond to project his suffering directly into martin’s brain 

1. things you said at 1 am

finding behrad in the kitchen is no surprise. this time, though, it’s for an entirely different reason than usual.

he looked up from as he was giving martina a bottle when jax walked in. “hey.”

“hey.” he came up beside him. “you managed to slip out of bed without waking me for once.”

behrad smiled. “and you’re awake because...”

with a shrug, jax walked past him to the fridge. “i was thirsty.”

as he poured himself a glass of water, he heard his husband say, “so you didn’t miss me?”

“maybe i missed your snoring a little.” he pressed a kiss to behrad’s cheek.

jax headed back upstairs just after he called. “you’re taking the 4 am feeding!”

no worries you know i love writing me some firestoner

Behrad hadn’t meant to stay so long.

He’d meant to just come over for the afternoon so they could get high, play some videos games - then hell, Jax had invited him to stay for dinner and ordered pizza. It was getting pretty late here and sneaking onto the ship late at night was a whole ordeal in itself.

“that was, by far, the stupidest thing you’ve ever done.” + firestoner

“That was, by far, the stupidest thing you’ve ever done,” Jax told him as he was drying his hair. 

Behrad looked over. “Probably, more like top ten.”

“Okay, fair.”
