Warren x Carter (Final Space)

Chapter 1

Warren woke up to the sound of his alarm clock for another long day ahead. He slowly got out of bed and got himself ready with his usual morning routine. After he was done, Warren looked out the window, looking at the bright golden sunrise. He took a deep sigh as he prepared his morning coffee.

Warren suddenly got the feeling that someone was behind him. He turned around and noticed his young son Braden was there.

"Braden, you scared me. What are you doing up at this time?" Warren asked him.

"I had to go to the bathroom and I wanted to say bye before you leave because I never get to anymore." Braden said as he looked at the floor.

"How sweet of you, Braden. I'll see you when I get back, okay?" Warren asked.

"Okay, dad. I love you." Braden said as he gave Warren a hug.

"Love you too, son. Listen to your mom, okay? I'll be back in a couple days, but it will fly by. I promise. Now, go back to bed." Warren said as he hugged his son back and gave him a kiss on the forehead.

"Okay. Bye, dad." Braden said as he headed back to his room, not before waving goodbye to Warren.

"Bye, Braden." Warren smiled and waved goodbye back as he left their place.

Despite becoming a father at a young age, Warren was happy with his life. Just only a few weeks earlier, he and his wife, Starla, just found out they were having a second son together, already picking out the name Ian for the baby.

Warren arrived at his station, gathering his supplies for his next mission, which he was just assigned to. As he was gathering the last of the weapons, he bumped into someone, dropping them.

"O-Oh, sorry about that." Warren said as he kneeled down to pick them up.

"It's alright. Let me help you with that." The big, light blue ventrexian said as he helped Warren out.

"Thanks." Warren said as the two walked to the ship together.

"So, what's your name?" The ventrexian asked.

"My name's Warren. Warren Castor." Warren introduced himself, having his hand out for a handshake.

"I'm Carter Polaris. Nice to meet you, Warren." Carter said as he shook Warren's hand.

"Nice to meet you too, Carter." Warren smiled.

After the two ventrexians introduced themselves, they headed over to work on their own jobs, with Warren working on fixing up weapons for any potential threats, and Carter making sure the ship is running smoothly and fixed of any damages. It was a long and tiring job for both of them, but it was something they both enjoyed, so there was no problem.

After a couple of days of work, they finally returned to their base. Both Warren and Carter walked off the ship together.

"What a long couple of days." Warren said.

"You got that right. We've made so much progress though." Carter said.

Warren nodded. ”Indeed we did."

"Say, do you want to catch a drink sometime and chat or something?" Carter asked.

"Yeah, that sounds great. I need something to loosen me up a bit." Warren said.

Carter smiled at him and the two headed their separate ways, with the start of a friendship.
