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.
“M-maybe… maybe this is something you sh-should explore for yourself. For a long t-time I listened to others over myself and I was m-miserable!”
Techie grimaces with the thought and he lets go of Ren’s arms, red rising on his cheeks. It was not surprising that Ren would be muscular, but his arms had felt firm and comforting under Techie’s fingers.
