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.
Techie paused and thought it over. He said gently, “Let m-me ask you this: do you think *I* deserve good th-things to happen to me?”
He sat on the edge of his cot and twined his fingers together in his lap.

“R-really?” Now that they’d gotten this far, Techie realized with a start that he’d expected Ren to think this was a waste of time, something silly, and that it wouldn’t actually make him happy. It wasn’t much of a stretch to say that Techie sucked at most things he did, so why should this have been an exception?
So to have Ren tell him, in no uncertain terms that LOVED his gift was… amazing! Techie’s heart raced and he couldn’t wipe the goofy grin off his face. “I’m so g-glad you do!” He ached to pull Ren into a hug but wasn’t sure if that was a good idea.
Twin!Hux AU HCs
• Tearlach “Techie” Hux & Armitage “Armie” Hux
•Techie is older by 5 mins
•Techie’s anxiety, low self esteem, and timidness are a product of being raised by an emotionally abusive father as is Armitage’s assertive, competitive, and over-ambitious disposition.
•Armitage acts as the older sibling most of the time. He can sense when Techie is feeling overwhelmed (social anxiety) and intervenes, which Techie is grateful for.
•Techie knows his brother better than he knows himself. He recognizes when Armitage is getting too stressed out and needs to vent, but knows that his brother will not come to him on his own. Techie knows just what to say to get Armitage to open up.
•Techie is very sensitive & is openly affectionate towards those he cares about.
•Armitage has a hard time identifying his own emotions and showing affection.

Once he gave the all-clear and gestured for Nao to follow along, he took off his Technician’s vest and gave it to her. “If anybody asks, y-your uniform got soaked and you’re borrowing p-part of mine,” he whispers nervously as they walk down the corridor, steps echoing.
She took the vest and slipped it on before frowning deeply and folding her arms. She looked ridiculous in the vest that she was swimming in, it was far too big and made her feel shorter than she already was.
“Fine.” She replies through gritted teeth, hiding her self consciousness through a mask of irritation.
Just a little longer and they’d reach his quarters. Techie was sweating like he’d never sweat before, jittery and alert for any danger. Even being General Hux’s brother wouldn’t save him from getting pushed out an airlock if they got caught.
“Stay cl-close, Nao, please. We’re almost th-there.”
Fic Title: Where I was put to Rest
Some soft Techsma, mainly Phasma taking in Techie and caring for him
Oh my gosh that would be perfect ❤
She kissed him once more. “You smell nice, sweetie.” She sighed happily. “And thank you for the kisses and cuddles last night. I had the best night of my life with you.” She cupped his cheek and gazed into his beautiful eyes “how lucky am I have someone as amazing as you?”
Techie covered his face with his hands, embarrassed. This amount of open affection was so completely foreign to him that he often short-circuited. He was red up to his ears, a deeper shade than his hair. “I’m the l-lucky, um, one,” Techie smiled and peeked at Sarah through his fingers.
Hey, have you considered that maybe Techie’s eyes are fine and he’s magically cured of all his trauma and has a lovely wife and kid because it’s all a dream world he made up in the ISO cubes but he can’t even make a fantasy world where stuff goes his way so that’s why things are going to shit? Just a thought
Why would you hurt the owl this way

Nestled in delicate wrapping paper were the best wire figures Techie had ever made: one of him with giant blue bug eyes and red copper hair, the other of Kylo with his thick, sleek cable-tresses and glowing lightsaber. They were holding hands and had big smiles on their faces.
Techie’s gaze flickered to Ren’s face, eagerly awaiting his reaction. They were cartoony and childish, for sure, but he hoped with all his heart Ren would like them.
