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!

They passed a few maintenance workers gossiping in a lounge. The cafeteria is still some ways off. Was it to the right or the left? His head’s so clouded by fear he doesn’t remember.

“Uh, sure,” Techie says, steadying his words as best as he can. He can’t handle more embarrassment today!

People stare at their intertwined hands as they walk by. Without realizing it, Techie starts to walk faster. Anything to get out from their gaze.
