If the world was ending

Chaos crew

They were given back the Skeld and Hafu decided to send someone to go get Apollo, by themselves. And so she happened to send Steve.

The dropship docked and he walked onto the ship. He couldn't quite remember if he had ever been here, but he knew where he was based off of how Dumbdog described things.

"Hey there," came a voice. Steve jumped slightly and turned to face ZeRoyalViking, or Ze for short. Assumably he was no longer the second in command with Apollo back on the ship. "Hafu said you'd be coming,"

"Yeah. I need to talk to Apollo,"

"His bedroom. With Chilled, I would knock first," he advised and walked off. Steve walked down the hallway where he pointed, finding the bedroom he had referred too. Steve knocked on the door and Chilled answered

He was fully clothed so Steve wasn't worried he was interrupting something. At least he hoped not.

"Steve. Good to see you," he said. Steve flashed a wry smile, not so sure what he was supposed to be feeling.

"Can I talk to Dumbdog?" He asked. Chilled closed the door before it opened a minute later. Steve looked up slightly and saw a very unamused Dumbdog.

"Steven?" He asked. Steve smiled at him, having missed Apollo so badly while on earth. He had always liked the hybrid but never said anything, he thought Apollo liked Chilled.

"Hey bud. Can we talk?" He asked. Dumbdog tilted his head, unsure of what the smaller man wanted to say.

"Sure baby," he said, using the nickname he always used. Steve felt his face flush, a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time. "What are you doing in space anyway? I thought you were going to be a singer?"

"I was a singer. But Toast needs our crew for one last mission,"

"I know which one you're talking about. But I work under Chilled now and I am not leaving,"

"Dumbdog please-"

"Haven't heard that nickname in a while," Apollo mumbled. He titled Steve's head up.

"You understand that I'm happy here, with my boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend?" Steve asked, he knew Apollo was Bi but never thought he would've gotten a boyfriend. Sure Steve and Apollo had slept together a few times, but it was nothing serious to Dumbdog. But it always meant everything to Steve.

"Yes, Chilled. I-"

"Apollo. Go with Steve," Chilled ordered, coming into the room. Dumbdog turned to face his top.

"Excuse me?"

"Go. Just for this mission then you can come back," Chilled told them. Steve had taken Dumbdogs hand out of old habit.

"Chilled-"

"No argument," chilled said, his tone dropping. Steve watched as Dumbdog backed down against Chilled, giving in.

"Fine. Then let's go," he said, clearly not happy. Chilled pecked his lips before turning and leaving. Steve gripped onto Dumbdogs hand tightly, as if the man was going to vanish.

They walked to the dropship and launched

"Everyone is already there. Except 5up,"

"What happened to 5up?"

"He's pissed at Hafu for whatever reason," Steve murmured. Dumbdog sat down and like he always used to, he pulled Steve onto his lap.

"Hey. There's no hard feelings right?"

"None at all," Steve murmured and buried his face into Apollos neck as they made the trip back
