Techie nodded vigorously, still embarrassed but unwilling to take back what he’d said since Matt looked pleased and flustered. It was a very good look on him. He got the sudden urge to leap forward and kiss him, the rest of the world be damned! But Matt would probably be grossed out. Techie wasn’t even sure if he liked men.
“You could b-be a model,” Techie blurts. “Nice, um, muscles!” What the fuck?! This stupid mouth of his couldn’t shut up, could it? Well, it turned out it clamped shut faster than the speed of light the minute Techie read Matt’s note.
Kylo Ren and Matt? Related? That explained so much… The problem was, how was he going to break it to him that Techie’s own brother was General Hux? Would he say, “Our brothers are enemies!” very cheerfully and then continue on like normal? What does someone do in this situation?
Techie’s brow furrowed, and he leaned back towards Matt without realizing, seeking comfort.
Matt had been honest with him… time to return the favor.
He wrapped his hand around Matt’s adorably oversized ear and brought his lips very close so nobody would overhear his confession. “You s-secret is safe with me, Mattie. But, uh. Hux is my brother.”
