“Don’t ever do that to me again, An’ika, you hear me?” Peeps’ voice is frantic as he grips Anomaly’s shoulders, hard enough to leave bruises on his skin. “I thought I lost you. I saw your name on the casualty list .”
“I’m okay, look, I’m right here.” Anomaly takes his hands, holding them in his own, looking up at the Captain with wide eyes.

They’d been out of contact with the base though, and with his ship gone… they’d assumed the worst.
Peeps carefully pulls him close, and he tilts Anomaly’s face up to catch his lips in a gentle kiss. “Don’t scare me like that,” he says, touching their foreheads together, “You’re all I’ve got right now.”
“I’m here, I promise. I’m not going anywhere.”
