Techie froze and felt ice run through his veins. Why is Kylo Ren, of all people, talking to him?! The blood is pulsing so hard in his ears that he doesn’t even know what the man is saying, and can only stare blankly at him.
“Um, ah,” he says, very intelligently.
And then bolts for the nearest exit.
Ren’s soothing calm flows into Techie and it feels like a breath of fresh air for a drowning man. He gasps aloud and his eyes shut by themselves. If it wasn’t for Ren’s hold, Techie’s legs would have given out. This was more peace than he’d felt EVER.
“Hux is my brother, sir,” he practically purrs, stutter noticibly absent. “I was going to get my eyes checked at the medbay when you stopped me.”
Techie adds dreamily, “Whatever you’ve done to me, please don’t stop. I feel *incredible*!”
