Figured it was time to get back to our roots a little bit. We're making Throwback Thursday a thing. Every Thursday we will have some of the "older" ships like Honeyphos, Xephna, Honeyphosna, Rythna, Zoethian (I guess you could say the "normal" ships?)

TW: KIsses and it's implied near the end. 

Title: ~Space~

Xephos slowly pulled the door of the space shuttle open, his mind bombarded with distant memories from his past. He remembered this - the zero gravity, the stars, the feeling of amazement that never seemed to leave him, every time he saw this view. In front of him were his two best men, Honeydew and Lalna. He was so proud of the both of the, for getting this far, and his face broke out into a grin as, in near-perfect unison, they saluted.

"At ease. Well done, friends. I am so proud of you for getting this far. We have worked years towards this, and now we have it. We have our space station, and our home." They all looked at one another, wide smiles upon each of their faces. "Dismissed."

Instantly, Lalna reached forwards to bring Xephos into a hug. The spaceman rested his chin on the shoulder of the blonde man, slowly rocking them back and forth. He shot a small smirk at Honeydew, who just stood there awkwardly. Rolling his eyes, Xephos gestured for Honeydew to come over and join them.

In that moment, however, Lalna broke away from the hold, chuckling slightly. “Sorry, Xeph. I, uh, have some maintenance to take care of.” With that, Lalna reached out to grab the wall, twisted around and kicked off of it, floating off through the doorway.

Then, there was two. Honeydew and Xephos, standing alone; all alone, where no one could find them. Xephos pushed off of the ground, letting go of the wall that he had been holding onto for balance. He gracefully leapt through the air, reminiscing from the times when he used to do this with his family as a child.

Less gracefully, Honeydew stumbled, not quite ready for the lack of gravity, as he floated up towards the taller man. They both made a grab for each other, Honeydew missing, Xephos getting a good hold on the other’s shoulders. He gave Honeydew a second to grab onto his waist before pulling the dwarf up and into a messy kiss.

Their teeth clashed and it was messy and needy, and just what Xephos needed to help get rid of the painful memories. Memories of loving hugs, of dying stars, of strange aliens, of family dinners, of previously unmapped planets, of his old life. But this was his new life - a life with Honeydew and Duncan and Sjin and Sips, even if none of them really cared for each other any more. He cared for each and every one of them.

The hole in his chest slowly had filled with new memories, until this one would be the final piece of the puzzle. He broke away, looking at his smaller partner. “You wanna show me where the sleeping quarters are?”
