KAW 2021 ~Day 1 Prompt: Ghost crew being a family/ The Crew Finds Out~
So I thought I'd do a fun meme of Ezra trying to explain to Sabine about how Kallus x Zeb is a *thing*. Little does he know that Sabine has already painted them together cuz she knows they are a thing, but she's indulging Ezra's crazy theories about the two of them because that's what the space fam does. XD
It’s only when they realise how much time they’ve wasted, and how little there is left, that they both give up the pretence that they aren’t madly in love.
They are, of course, rescued. Then it takes far too long to talk this out.
[The ship is crumbling, windows cracked and alarms blaring. Time is up. Kallus is pulled away from damage control at a touchscreen by Zeb, who takes their last moments to finally, finally kiss him as the lights in the cockpit die]

“Better make ‘em count, Kal. Leave that and c’mere.”
KAW DAY 2: The Adonis Flower (Pheasants-eye) is generally associated with sorrowful remembrances, death, and other bad occasions. The red of the petals is believed to have developed from Adonis spilling his blood on the soil.

During her time as a teacher, Ms Namoira had taught a diverse range of children over the years. Although none as large as the group she was currently teaching on Chandrilla. As the recently proclaimed Capital of the New Republic, a great many beings had business to attend to there. And as usual, a great many of them also brought their children.
In her class, Namoira had what seemed like every species found under the various suns. From humans like her to wookies and ithorians, and of course numerous pupils there were a mixture of heritage. Once such pupil was Jacen Syndulla. Namoira knew that it was not her place to speculate on the child's heritage but with his mottled brown and green skin, pointed ears and natural emerald hair, if one half of him was human than the other had to be twi'lek.
His mother Hera was clearly where his twi'lek part was from. The woman was the straightforward no-nonsense type but was also one of the kindest people Namoira had ever met. She would have made a fine teacher. Namoira didn't know much about the boy's father aside that he was probably human and had unfortunately passed away. There were numerous rumours amongst the staff about his identity. The most popular that he died fighting for the rebellion. The most outlandish was that he had been a jedi. Namoira would roll her eyes at that, even if the boy did have a habit of materialising the sweets she kept stashed at the top of her supply cupboard.
The lack of a father did not mean that Jacen was wanting in terms of family however. He had no less than three Grandpas, including a yellow and blue twi'lek couple as well as an older man with a bushy white beard and oddly familiar face whom had to be from his father's side of the family.
On rarer occasions Jacen was picked up by his sister. Due to her lack of lekku, Namoira assumed that she was a human too although she had never seen the girl's face due do the Mandalorian armour she wore. And on one rare occasion Jacen had been picked up by his older brother who didn't seem to even know who Jacen was until the boy jumped into his arms with a shocked but delighted shriek. As much as Namoira detested the implications, she had to admit that his two significantly older siblings did give fuel to the rumours that his mother had used her twi'lek charms to seduce a much older man, then murdered him for his money once she had his child.
Today would mark the first day that Namoira had met Jacen's uncles. They were an odd couple for sure. An unusually tall human with a prosthetic leg and a large being with purple stripes and green eyes who's species she did not recognise. The human's skin was too light to be related to the boy's father and there was no way the other creature was related biologically either. Still, Namoira had come across many different families in her line of work and was well aware that family did not always mean blood related.
"Good afternoon. I'm Kallus and this is my husband Zeb. We're here to pick up Jacen." The human who was apparently called Kallus told her as he handed over a later from Hera giving them permission to be here.
"Of course. He's told us so much about you." Namoira said as the boy in question rushed over.
"Uncle Zeb! Uncle Kallus!" Jacen shouted before being lifted up in Zeb's arms. He cried out in delight as he was spun around.
Kallus rolled his eyes in fond exasperation. "Put him down Zeb. We don't want to cause anyone an eye injury. You can both play aeroplanes back on the Ghost." Both his nephew and husband pouted as his words. Namoira had to stifle a giggle.
"Jacen tells me you're visiting for the life day celebrations next week. Where are you from?" She asked.
The couple shared a glance as Jacen piped up from where he was now on solid ground.
"It's a secret!"
"What Jacen means to say is that we like our privacy." Kallus told her firmly whilst his husband stammered to find an answer.
"Of course. I'm sorry I don't mean to pry." Namoira replied, unsure what exactly was so secretive about where they lived but didn't want to cause any unnecessary drama. "I hope you all have a lovely life day."
The pair nodded their thanks before heading out. As soon as they were out the door, she saw Zeb place the child back on his shoulders. She watched Kallus shake his head, but still take his husband's hand as they walked along the street.
Namoira went back to her duties, tidying up the mess that always came after a day of rambunctious children, wondering if she would ever know the mysteries behind this particular family.
Day 1: Ghost crew being a family|The crew finds out / Them being protective of each other
TW//MENTION OF BLOOD
That was an awful day. A very, very awful day. That was the only thought on Kallus mind, while he was trying to be rescued by a very, very angry lasat.
Key word: trying.
"Karabast..." Murmured that same lasat, spitting some blood at the feet of the secret agent tasked with interrogating them. Kallus had to resist growling at the ruthless Imperial, though the dirty look he gave him was inevitable.
"So the empire keeps using these useless dirty tricks, huh?" He asked the agent viciously, trying to focus his anger on the man who was hurting his mate. They weren't supposed to know that they were related beyond being in the same crew, or they would try to use that against them.
Well, the hit he took at least wasn't for Zeb.
"You don't even deserve to be alive, you dirty traitorous rebel rat" The man told him, and if Garazeb was sensitive to the Force, he was sure that he would have already sent him to fly to the other side of the thick forest they were in.
All was not lost. From the corner of his eye he could see how his mate was insistently clawing at the bonds that held them immobile (the empire using ropes to bind its prisoners? It seemed like the alliance was really taking a toll on their economic system, after all).
They just needed to entertain the veteran agent a little more.
"I hope you don't have a family, agent… I couldn't look them in the face." He tempted the gray-haired man, effectively receiving a shot in the abdomen. No problem, he could hold on… Besides, it was a perfect way to get Zeb to try to cut those bonds faster.
When he looked to the side of him, he was too surprised to find that he had not had the desired effect. The lasat's hands were shaking, and his eyes… God, his eyes. He seemed ready to kill the Imperial.
In a completely unexpected move, and which, if he weren't so shocked by the situation, he would have thought it was totally disproportionate and idiotic on Garazeb's part, he released himself with sheer force with his arms, throwing himself at the agent like a mad dog.
The next thing he knew, said man was unrecognizable and motionless on the ground, a scattered bundle of flesh and blood.
He didn't even notice how long it was between Zeb unleashing himself and the agent's death, though after that the lasat simply walked up to him, untied him, and motioned for him to hug him. He nodded without thinking too much, trying to ignore the still hot blood on Zeb's body and claws as he climbed a tree.
Once they were placed between several stable branches, he released him.
“Zeb… what…? What was that…?" He asked quietly, he had never seen him this… wild. He would swear that even he had never seen him use his claws like this.
"I'm sorry that you had to see that" The lasat muttered sheepishly, looking away a bit, but soon he tensed again and bent down a little so that he could separate them just enough to see the wound on his abdomen. "Karabast… That damn imperial" He growled protectively, putting his claw over his wound so gently, no one would say that he had just killed a man with those same claws.
"It doesn't matter, just… it caught me out of the blue?" He said, smiling softly, putting his hand on the other's claw. "To be honest, it has been impressive" He admitted smiling at him, although shortly after he noticed the wounds on his wrist, caused by the way he had freed himself from his bonds. "You're a fool, you could have waited a little more… I can take a shot, you know that" he chided softly, snorting.
“I know… but I couldn't resist it, it was pure instinct. I needed to protect my mate" He couldn’t resist the smile that blossomed on his face for that words.
Shortly after that, they were found by the rest of the crew, and if both Hera and Sabine were able to see the remains of the Imperial agent, neither of them mentioned it.
I will put a master list of all the prompts at the end of the week! Also, tell me if y'all would be interested in a Spanish version of the fics! ^^
