His dad’s birthday was 17th September.
He’d forgotten his dad’s birthday.
He couldn’t believe it. He forgot. He forgot.

Summary
At the annual reunion on Dr Mensah's farm for the original survey team members of PresAux, Gurathin gets himself into a bit of trouble and is forced to ask Murderbot for help. Note this is definitively TV-verse, though set sometime after the show, so spoilers for that. Unrelated to my previous fics.
Prompt: "Perhaps an injured Gurathin avoiding MedSystem and Murderbot bringing a first aid kit to him instead? Or, if that doesn’t strike your fancy, Gurathin saying something “rude” (i.e. direct) that’s helpful for murderbot to know and it realizing it likes his directness." So I went with your first option, but I have to tell you I did in fact do the opposite and involve a MedSys and not a first aid kit, but hopefully it remains in the spirit of the prompt.

Summary
There are a lot of traditions relating to this time of year (I write, on the 21st December), when the nights are at their longest. These are to be found both across the timespan of human existence and all around the world. There’s the Winter Solstice (obviously) but also Brumalia, Saturnalia (17th-24th December), Yalda Night, Yule and the Dongzhi Festival, to name a small selection. I assume Preservation culture would have similar traditions.
I reckon that at least somewhere in The Murderbot Universe (probably the CR) there is the HallmarkSeasonalMovie™
So, it has come to this*

Summary
Murderbot has found a fauna imitative companion construct (it was abandoned on a planet—we all know how our favourite SecUnit feels about that)...
It has a new home waiting for it on Preservation Planet, but first it needs to spend a brief quarantine period on the Station.
