He scooched closer to Nao and gently slotted her against his chest, bringing his legs up to make some kind of half-cocoon. The world had already beaten them both down enough for a lifetime, but maybe, just maybe, Nao could feel sheltered here, with him. Safe.

Techie feigned sleep long enough for any excess tension to drain. His mind started to drift, hazy ideas fleeting when he tried to focus on any of them. There were images, too. Vague but good ones…

Of a future where they could both be happy. Maybe together. 

Hi, Mattie… There’s something I want to ask you.

Matt looked up from the thing he had been working on.
“ sure techie you can ask me anything. You know that.”

“If I were to s-set you up with someone… In a, erm, hypoth-thetical scenario… would you be okay with either a b-boy or a girl? Or someone else?”

Techie’s cheeks are flushed rose-red from embarrassment. It had taken a good three hours of psyching himself up for this before he’d gotten the courage to ask.

Hypothetically matt knew what that meant. If Techie was looking to set him up with someone else that meant he had no interest him. Why would he as he was with someone else. Maybe matt would like the guy he was being set up with. He wanted to frown but forced a smile on his face.

“ guys I like guys.”

Techie’s entire face transformed. There was no way he could hide his utter joy; his pupils whirred wide open and lips parted with an upward tick to them, eyebrows raising. “Oh! M-Me too! Guys are great!!” he blurted out, so damn excited his heart felt full, fingers grasping Matt’s sleeve and tangling up in it.

If Matt only liked men, then he couldn’t be dating Kess!! Techie sort of swooned forward like he wanted to kiss Matt. Which he did want. A lot.

[@general-gingerbowie] “Swing it,” Hux whispered dramatically

H"uh?“ Techie looks around frantically, hands up to his chest in tight, protective fists. “Swing? Swing wh-what??” That sounded like Hux, but Techie couldn’t understand where that voice was coming from. Hadn’t he been alone in his room just now?

“Nothing, I just felt like saying that,” Hux said, appearing in Techie’s doorway with a CD.

He swiveled around in his chair to face Hux and let out a relieved sigh. “Oh man, you scared m-me!” Noticing the CD in his hand, he asked, “Wh-what’s that?”
