They didn’t specifically talk about it, but Comet was always aware when the anniversary rolled around. As the day drew closer, Wolffe, Sinker, and Boost would get quieter, more twitchy, and the shadows in their eyes deepened.
When he woke up on the morning of the anniversary of the day the entire 104th, save for Wolffe, Sinker, Boost, and the General, were wiped out by the Separatists, Comet went straight to the mess and picked up four boxes from Wipp.
“Their favorites. Just like you asked for,” the cook said quietly, handing over the boxes with a pained look.
Comet gave him a sad smile and headed back towards Wolffe’s quarters.
They didn’t always pile into Wolffe’s room - it was a tight squeeze for four grown men, even if they were pilots - but Sinker and Boost had a hard time bunking down elsewhere in the weeks around the anniversary.
Comet opened the door and slipped inside quietly. The other three were curled up together on the bed, awake but unmoving. He set the boxes of food down on a shelf and grabbed the extra blanket he had stashed in a drawer a week earlier.
“Shh,” Comet soothed as Boost made a questioning noise at the rustling of him shaking out the blanket. “It’s just me.”
He draped the blanket over the three survivors and settled onto the floor next to the bunk.
Wolffe’s hand snuck out from underneath to card through Comet’s hair, and he leaned into the soft touch.
Sinker spoke first. “Ni su'cuyi,” he breathed into the stillness of the room. “Gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli, gar darasuum.”
“Highball,” Boost began.
“Murk,” Wolffe rumbled.
“Patch,” Sinker said quietly.
“Lili.”
“Twick.”
“Jagged.”
Comet closed his eyes and listened silently as his lovers took turns listing off the original members of the 104th - all the brothers who had gone marching on together, leaving Wolffe, Sinker, and Boost behind to pick up the pieces of each other.
He wouldn’t let them do it alone. He would never let them suffer that sort of heartbreak again.
