No No Vito

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. (47)

Kraglin woke to feel the ship rock harshly, Vito whined frightenedly, eyes wide open, tears even in them. He was quick to react, scooting himself up first and then scooping Vito into his lap, cradling him close.
"No, no, no, no. No tears, 's alright," he mumbled reassuringly, looking around as if it'd tell him what was going on. Vito gave a terrified whimper, nuzzling closer.
"Daddy, wha happen?"
"I don't know, sweetie, but we'll figure it out and it'll be ok, daddy will keep you safe," he assured gently. The ship's intercom came on suddenly, making Vito wince and thus whimper again.
"Attention crew members," Horuz's voice said, "we are in the middle of a space storm. Get to somewhere safe and wait there. We will update you when anything else comes up."
Kraglin mumbled a little swear but rubbed Vito's hair and head, hoping to calm him a little, unfortunately, the ship rocked again and despite Kraglin's attempts, Vito ended up sobbing, clinging tightly to him. Kraglin quickly shook his head.
"Oh no, no, no, it's ok sweetie, no, it's ok. Don't cry. Daddy's here, daddy's got you." 
Vito whimpered softly, "Don wike it! Don wike it at aww!!"
"I know, I know," Kraglin mumbled to him. His mind rushed with how to settle the sobbing little, he was sure the lack of memories made the reaction worse but it still made him want to soothe his poor frightened baby boy.
His mind drifted to his first space storm. He had lied about his age when he first joined the ravagers, only being 15 but pretending to be 18, his tall frame helped with that, but after the first time he killed someone he had ended up breaking down and confessing to Tullk and Yondu. It was then they were pretty protective of him, Tullk more so since Yondu was closer to his age and Tullk was from Scotland on Terra so he was used to trying to stretch out childhood more than other places.
Regardless, Kraglin had settled into the ravager life decently well. He had been a part of the ravagers for a while before he experienced his first, real space storm.
There were stormy, rainy days on Xandar, sure, but it still was nothing like on the ship and he was willing to bet it was just as different to the storms on Terra so of course Vito was petrified. Heck, Kraglin was petrified during his first one, he was a trembling mess and was trying to keep himself together.
He had in his blankets for a while until he tumbled out of bed at which he found Tullk's room. An idea finally came to Kraglin as to what to do.
To settle Kraglin, Tullk sung a song, despite the fact of the older ravager not being too confident in his singing voice. Kraglin wasn't either with his own but it wasn't his first time singing to Vito, so, he took a moment to really recall the words before starting softly, as he rocked Vito.
"Sleep bonnie pirate laddie, while the waves they roll. Sleep bonnie pirate laddie, ocean breezes blow. Feel the ship rock to and fro, hear wind through rigging sigh. The gentle ocean sounds below, a pirate lullaby. Storms rise upon the seas as clouds darken up high, see the sails begin to stretch, as winds fall from the sky. Waves roll and toss the ship, roughly from side to side...."
It relieved Kraglin to see the little was no longer crying, he offered a gentle smile, "There, lookie there, my sweet little boy, not crying no more, not scared," he cooed, "that's what I like to see," he continued to rock him. Vito sniffled a little bit but nodded. Kraglin rubbed the little's cheeks with his thumb gently to get rid of any tracks that the tears left. Vito sniffled again.
"You a good singer, daddy," he mumbled. Kraglin had to smile at that. He wasn't awful but he didn't necessarily think he was good, so to hear it was definitely nice to hear.
"Thank you sweet pea, daddy will always be there to sing to y-" Kraglin was cut off from a startling jerk from the ship which also made Vito yelp and cling tightly to him. Immediately, he picked up pace a little on the rocking.
"Shhhh, it's ok, its alright baby doll. You're safe, it's just the ship," he cooed.
"Wh-why it more wike dat?" he whimpered out, on the edge of another break down.
Kraglin peppered little kisses on Vito's face to settle him, mumbling after, "Its a space storm, baby boy, it always rocks the ship like this," he reassured gently, "let's just try to get some sleep, yeah? It'll be better when we wake up," he promised, grabbing a purple pacifier from the drawer of the nightstand for Vito and laid down carefully with Vito on his chest.
The little boy tightly shut his eyes trying to sleep but he kept whimpering in fear and the ship moved again twice and his boo boos still ached and Kraglin couldn't sleep knowing his baby was miserable.
He peeked a blue eye open, "Baby?" he softly asked to which Vito hummed pitifully, "Do you want daddy to sing some more to you?"
Vito sniffled slightly but nodded, "Y-yeah pease," Kraglin nodded, kissing his forehead tenderly before picking up on the lullaby.
"Taste the salt upon your lips from the fury of the tide.Grab the hatches, batten down as waves they crest the bow. Main sail furl, secure the deck else every man might drown, drop the anchor ride the storm, and pray with all your might, feel thunder clap and racing heart, as you struggle for your life. Sleep bonnie pirate laddie, while the waves they roll. Sleep bonnie pirate laddie, ocean breezes blow. Feel the ship rock to and fro, hear wind through rigging sigh, the gentle ocean sounds below, a pirate lullaby. Storm doth wane and fade away, as clouds drift off with sighs, see on high, the azure hue, of gentle soft blue skies. Waves fall and calm goes all, the sea now lightly rolls. Taste the tang of sea and sweat, as salt winds gently blow. Grasp the ropes and hoist the sails, it's back to port your bound, the main sail billows large and full, soon you'll be on dry ground. Weigh the anchor, spin the wheel, this day o'er nature win, feel spray of sea, the ocean's kiss, you're on your way again. Sleep bonnie pirate laddie, while the waves they roll. Sleep bonnie pirate laddie, ocean breezes blow. Feel the ship rock to and fro, hear wind through rigging sigh. The gentle ocean sounds below, a pirate lullaby."
By the time Kraglin finished, Vito was sure enough asleep making the first mate smile. He kissed Vito's head again before dozing off himself. Soon enough Yondu came back in the room to sleep and blinked surprised.
"How the h*ll did they sleep through the storm?" he muttered bewildered. He shook his head, taking off his top, leather layer of clothing just leaving his tank top on and switching out his leather pants for pajama ones and crawled into bed with his family.

(A/N: This chapter is a surprise for me, I wasn't sure I'd get it done since I figured I'd be busy with my birthday stuff but here it is! More fluff and more fluff on the way! I got the idea of Kraglin's background slightly from my favorite origin story for Kraglin "I like you, please suffer" found on AO3, I totally would recommend reading it, it is so amazing! Any case, I hope to update next week or asap lol, but I hope you all enjoyed and have a great day/night!!!)
