Techie hadn’t been having a good day. Not at all. Matt was nowhere to be found, Hux was busy doing who knows what, and his supervisor, Leslie, absolutely hated his guts. Which was why he jumped at the chance to get away from the monotony (and Leslie’s whining), accepting a recently requested job he hadn’t even looked at.

The last thing he expected was to find himself outside Lieutenant Mitaka’s quarters and realize he left his toolbox…somewhere? But it was too late to go find it, he’d knocked on the door and now it was opening!

It suddenly occurs to him that Mitaka hasn’t even mentioned his eyes, or his stringy, greasy hair, or *anything* that most people tease him about. What the hell?

He tries to express this to him, but all he can manage as they walk through the corridor is, “Th-this doesn’t h-happen to me,” which probably makes the whole situation even more odd.

Leave it to Techie to make a cryptic statement and then have anxiety swell up his throat so he can’t follow it up with something more sane.
