Day 0
Y/n and Daisuke talked as they drove to the boarding zone. This was a place where the workers family and friends can come and say goodbye before they take off for however long the voyage may be. Neither of their friends nor family had the time to stop by, so they depended on each other.
"How much longer is the drive, you think?"
Daisuke's tounge clicked in his mouth as he focused in on his game.
"I'm getting tired of playing the same game over and over again!"
He groaned, the Gameboy dropped into Daisuke's lap as he propped his head up with his arm on the window to look outside. Y/n giggled at his immaturity.
"Almost there."
Y/n spoke gently, trying to calm the other man down. Daisuke rolled his eyes as he spun his head towards Y/n.
"I promise! We just have to park at the parking lot I was assigned too and then-"
"We have to walk?!"
Daisuke jumped in his seat. When he saw the smirk growing on Y/n face he rolled his eyes and stared in front of him as they pulled into the parking garage.
"You promised me a new game."
He spat out, he crosses his arms as he turned his attention to the driver.
"Yes, yes I know. You'll have to wait till takeoff for that."
Y/n pulled into one of the parking spot and stopped the car. He grabbed his small carry in backpack and exited the car, Daisuke following shortly after.
"Well you exicted to go to SPACE?!"
Daisuke's voice carried through the mostly empty parking lot, it echoed a few times before Daisuke continued.
"I know I am! I fucking love space!"
He shoves his Gameboy into his bag and puts it on while walking beside Y/n.
"I just want the money.."
Y/n leaned closer to Daisuke to continue.
"I heard we're gonna make a LOT of money from this."
Y/n smiled softly as he looked towards Daisuke's now lit up face.
"How much? Do you know?"
The words ran out of Daisuke's mouth.
Y/n shushed him as they got closer to Tulpar, the ship. The security guards stood their guard a few feet away from the ship.
"ID card?"
One spoke with a gruff voice. His arms were crossed as he waited for the two younger men to show him their identification cards. Y/n pulled his out and showed the guard that asked him. Daisuke showed the other guard. Each of them took the ID card they were given and inspected it. Almost in sync the guards gave the cards back to their respective owners.
"You're good to go Y/n and Daisuke."
The guard with the gruff voice spoke again as he nodded towards the ship.
"Better hurry, and get in. Not much time to do whatever you need to."
He spoke in a slightly kinder voice. Y/n and Daisuke walked quickly into the ship. Standing just outside of the ships doors stood a taller blonde man. He smiled at the two.
"You two must be the new additions! I'm Curly! Captain Curly to put it formally!"
His sweet smile was infectious and his words were soft and gentle, but also carried authority.
"Come on in and we'll start getting ready for takeoff."
Curly lead the two of them inside of the ship. It was pretty small to be holding six whole people, but Y/n bit his tounge and kept quiet.
"Aren't there supposed to be three more people?"
Daisuke questioned while looking around the main lounge, it seemed. Before Curly could answer Daisuke asked another question.
"Also, how is this ship supposed to fit six peop- Ow!"
Y/n shouldered Daisuke hard, he looked over to Y/n and gave a confused look.
"Shut up!"
Y/n hushed him, they both got startled when Curly laughed gently in front of them. He turned around with his hands on his hips.
"It's okay, pony express just does whatever they want to."
Curly walks backwards slowly as he speaks, continuing to lead the two.
"What positions were you hired for?"
"Inturn!"
Daisuke piped up as Y/n opened their mouth to talk. He gently shoves Daisuke with a roll of his eyes before speaking.
"I wasn't really given a title."
Y/n speaks while fishing for his ID card to show the Captain. He hands the card to him to examine.
"I can do pretty much anything-! Except Flying."
Y/n joked lightly as Curly read over his ID card. He hummed a response before talking.
"Wouldn't be the first time they hired someone without a job title."
He mumbled before handing the ID card back to Y/n.
"Well the other job positions that have someone would be pilot, co pilot, mechanic, and a nurse. I don't see why else we'd need others but I don't make the calls."
Curly stopped infront of seats strapped to the wall like in airplanes.
"These are the only 'extra' seats to keep you guys safe and secure while we take off... do you need any help getting in them?"
"No, I think we'll be alright. Thanks though Captain."
Y/n's voice was soft and respectful as he spoke. Curly chuckled at the formality.
"Just call me Curly alright?"
He said before heading to the cockpit.
"Be in those seats before take off. Wouldn't want you guys to get hurt huh?"
His voice faded the further he walked away. Y/n and Daisuke jumped up to the seats and secured themselves in them.
"Wait were we supposed to put our bags somewhere?"
Before Y/n could finshed that sentence the engine to the ship started, it was deafening. The two covered their ears,
Y/n looked at Daisuke for an answer to his question. All he got was a shrug.
"Just hold on to it!"
"...What?"
Y/n couldn't hear anything, he leaned in closer to Daisuke to maybe make some sense of his words.
"Hold on to your bag!"
Daisuke saw Y/n's confused looked, he groaned before pointing to himself holding his bag.
"Oh, gotcha!"
Y/n held onto his bag tightly in hopes it wouldn't fly out of his hands
* * *
The ship was now flying through space. After what seemed like forever the restraints from the seats unlatched, letting the two get out of them. A robotic voice rung through the ship.
Hello Tulpar crew! We are now beginning the 382 day trip! It is now safe to walk around.
The voice crackles away as Y/n and Daisuke make sure everything in their bags were alright.
"That was a rough take off... is that how it always is?"
Daisuke talks to himself while looking through his small bag he brought. Once knowing everything was fine he zipped it back up and looked up at Y/n.
"Everything good on your end?"
"Everything looks alright.."
Y/n mumbled a response while digging through the slightly bigger bag.
"Great! Now about that new game?"
A cheesy grin grew on Daisuke's face as he eagerly watched Y/n as he rolled his eyes.
"Yes, yes of course how could I forget."
A snicker left him as he pulled out a brand new encased game. Before he could hand it to Daisuke, the younger man snatched it out of his hands and admired it.
"AH! Thank you!"
He fumbled in his bag and pulled out his Gameboy, he discarded the game card that was previously in the system before starting up the new game. Before they could say anything else they heard someone walking towards them.
"Hello? Are you two the last minute additions?"
A chubby man spoke with a gruff voice. His arms were crossed as he spoke. The two moved their focus onto him.
"Hi! I'm Y/n, and this is Daisuke!"
He spoke with a gentle tone, extending a hand towards him. He takes it and shakes it.
"Swansea."
Was all he said before Curly walked back into the room. Swansea turned his attention to the new set of footsteps.
"Hello Captain."
He nodded his head towards Curly to show his respect before letting him talk to the others.
"Hello Swansea..heh."
Curly clears his throat at Swansea's growing concern on his face.
"I see you've met Daisuke, the inturn you'll be teaching."
He clasps his hands together nervously, watching as Swansea's expression becomes angry.
"What? I wasn't told I'd have to teach someone-"
"It's the higher ups orders. I can't do much."
Awkward tension filled the room pretty quickly. Curly cleared his throat again.
"Anyway, uh you two can explore pretty much any part of the ship that doesn't require a pass code."
Curly smiled while talking to them, trying to ignore Swansea's stabbing glare. He felt daggers stabbing him the longer Swansea stared.
"If any of you guys need help refer to anyone that's available! I got to get back to the cockpit."
His smile falters slightly from nervousness before walking off. Swansea watched as he left, a quiet grunt emitted from him as he looked back to the others.
"Don't get in my way, or mess anything up kid, and you'll be alright."
He left the room after finishing his sentence, now leaving Y/n and Daisuke alone again. The two of them followed each other around the ship.
"Do we even have rooms? Considering we were added literally last minute?"
Daisuke spoke out, confusion laced his tone.
"I don't know... let me check the layout."
Y/n fumbled in his bag to fetch a map of the ship.
"You have a map of this?"
He snickered as he spoke, he covered his mouth and held in laughter. Y/n rolled his eyes.
"I'm being prepared. Unlike some people."
Y/n took a jab at Daisuke before turning his full attention to looking for the map in his bag.
"Hey-!"
Daisuke huffed as he walked alongside him.
"Wait, be care-!"
Daisuke tried to warn Y/n of there being someone in front of him but it was too late. He bumped into the person in front of him.
"Hey! Watch it!"
"...ful"
Daisuke finished his sentence just as Y/n is processing the situation. His face flushed red in embarrassment.
"Shit! I'm sorry! I-I!"
"Ugh, it's fine."
Was all he said before storming off. Y/n picked up the things he'd dropped with Daisuke's help.
"What was that guy's problem?"
Daisuke joked as he zipped up Y/n's bag and handed it to him.
"He's in a pissy mood."
"Seems like it."
An amused scoffed escaped Y/n's lips as he stood back up. He looked towards the man as one of the metal doors shut behind him.
"Hopefully he's not like that the whole trip."
