the softest sleep in someone’s arms // ~600 words

my 333 follower fic giveaway promt as requested by @kiriequickly (@techiehux): an indulgent fluffy Techie fic? I think that boy just needs love and pampering, tbh. (i hope you like it!)

~~

Techie was sitting on the back of the couch, pushed up against the viewport, looking out at the stars. He was softly humming something while his big brother Armitage was swiping something on a datapad. They had had a lunch together–Techie knew his brother would continue working without eating if he wasn’t here, so it was an indulgence for them both; getting to spend time together during work hours.

And Techie knew very well, that Armitage always insisted on fresh produce to be delivered for these meals, letting Techie have the best pieces, whether it was fruit or fish.

After Techie had been rescued, Armitage had taken all his accumulated leave to spend time together, to help him heal. They had almost two months on Arkanis together; fishing on reading on some days, taking walks through the forests and along the many rivers. It was there, that Techie first saw Matt. After that it didn’t take long for Matt to show up again and again at their house, the old Hux estate.

Armitage had definitely run a background check on Matt, and probably had him followed, most likely threatened before letting him in Techie’s life. He could only admire his brother’s protectiveness over him.

Leaning away from the viewport, Techie shifted along the back of the couch until he was next to Armitage. Sliding down, he nestled right next to Armitage, taking his greatcoat from where it was tossed over the couch and using it as a blanked.

“You know I still have half a shift left. I’ll need it.” But there was nothing hard or unforgiving in the voice, just softness and Techie knew that the greatcoat would be staying right here with him.

“I like it more.” Techie said, pulling the black gaberwool fabric over his head and pushing at Armitage’s hand so he could lie down with his head in Armitage’s lap. When his brother started running a hand through his hair, Techie almost purred. An after-lunch nap sounded wonderful.

“I take it I’m staying here too?” Armitage asked, with a smile, looking down at his dearest brother, still carding through his hair.

Techie sighed softly and soon enough was asleep.

When he woke, he noticed that the lap he was sleeping on was a bit thicker and smelled much more familiarly. “Matty.” He whispered, realizing Armitage had stayed right there on the couch with him until Matt came back from his shift and they switched places. Techie knew that he would have woken up in fright if left alone.

“Hey sleepyhead.” Matt’s deep voice from above him. “Your brother said that he would be back for breakfast.”

Techie had to chuckle at that–so far they did only lunch together, but he was missing Armitage so much. His snuggling up to him must have tipped Armitage off and now they could spend more time together! “Will you join us too? You know he likes you.” Techie felt sometimes uneasy when he got to join Armitage and the fierce Kylo Ren for lunches, but being there with Matt would make it so much better.

“Of course, my love.” Matt whispered and leaned down to kiss him on the forehead. The kisses didn’t end there, travelling all across his face, targeting the nose and cheeks and finally mouth.

“I love when you call me that.” Techie said in between the kisses. Shifting around, he got fully on Matt’s lap, kissing him more. Matt right in front of him, giving him love, and Armitage’s greatcoat on his back, giving him security. It was the perfect state of being.

“My love. You are my dearest love.” Matt kept saying after each and every kiss.
