A flash of red caught his eye. There weren’t that many red-heads around after all. “Hux! We need to discuss–” his vocoder voice cut off mid sentence as he finally got a decent look at the man. It wasn’t the General, but… “How…? Who are you?” he demanded. -kylocanyounot

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.

There’s a heavy pause in the conversation as Techie struggles to organize his thoughts.

Finally he settles on whispering, “I think y-you and I were made of the same star, Ren.” It’s a strange thing to say, but as soon as it’s out there, he’s sure of it.

They’d been orbiting around each other, always just out of sight, until their collision earlier today. And despite the insanity of it, Techie already feels closer to him than anyone ever before. Perhaps stars recognize particles of themselves in others.
