Techie gives Sarah a lovestruck look and opens his arms wide to welcome her towards him. “I hope w-we *never* finish cuddling! That way it’ll go on f-forever.”

Techie and Adeline Hux [Closed] [Part 3]
“A-Al-Almost, sweetheart.” The fear is sinking into him again, but they’re so *close*. Finally, FINALLY, he pushes the door open and sunshine welcomes them both outside.
Quickly, he settles Addie and himself on his speeder and zooms off as far as he can get.
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.
There’s a heavy pause in the conversation as Techie struggles to organize his thoughts.
Finally he settles on whispering, “I think y-you and I were made of the same star, Ren.” It’s a strange thing to say, but as soon as it’s out there, he’s sure of it.
They’d been orbiting around each other, always just out of sight, until their collision earlier today. And despite the insanity of it, Techie already feels closer to him than anyone ever before. Perhaps stars recognize particles of themselves in others.

He gently picked her up into his arms. Off to the distance there was a door with a sign he couldn’t quite make out, but it seemed like an exit so he stolled over to it.
“We might g-get out of here alive d-despite ourselves,” he mused to Adeline. At this age, did she even know what death *meant*?
☎- drunk, questionable voicemail message
Kylo pressed a small button on his helmet, brows furrowed at the message. He knew who, just not wide. It played quietly to him inside the helmet, and thank the stars he was wearing it. He’s was three shades of red and fairly concerned.
He stalked down to the levels of the ship where he likely lived and using the information he could conjure up in the ship’s data bank found his room.
“What was that?!” He balked, still more embarrassed than anything, but at least hidden.
“Nooo… Ren you don’t *understand*! I meant what I s-said! I want you to d-do it nooooowwww!” Stubbornly, he clung to Ren and refused to let go.

And so, leisurely strolling down the labyrinth of corridors hand in hand, with the distant sounds of goons sniffing them out, Techie and Adeline smiled.
Together.
Neither knew if they’d make it out. Perhaps neither really cared.
But they were together, and they were making the best of it. And that’s all that mattered.
“Hey Techie, how are you doing?” MP asks gently. She reaches for his hand with a smile.
“I’m so an-anesth-thetiz-ed that I just feel… A l-little hyper?” He grins at MP and moves his pupils around to show them off. “MP, my eyes are n-new! They hurt a little but they f-fit me well and are supposed to be more bio-friendly. Whatever th-that means!” He takes her by the hand and pulls her into a warm hug.
She smiles broadly, & returns the hug. “I’m so glad you’re doing better. Your brother & I checked with the doctor, & he said you did really well. He was really good about keeping me updated with everything going on. I know a lot of people say your brother is cold, but I don’t think hey know him very well. He’s been nothing but kind to me.” She says thoughtfully.
“Oh I almost forgot, I brought you something! Here these are for you,” she says handing him a small arrangement of sunflowers. “I wasn’t sure what sort of flowers you liked, but I thought these would brighten things up nicely. Also I wanted to get you a little something to congratulate you on your new name, & getting a girlfriend! I’m so happy for you! Sarah is really sweet,I think she’s perfect for you.” she says brightly.
“MP!” he squealed, feeling over the moon as he took the beautiful sunflowers into his arms. He buried his face in them, breathing in to see if they smelled like anything. “I didn’t really h-have a favorite flower before, but I d-do now!”
At the mention of Sarah, his cheeks colored and he placed the sunflowers on the nightstand. “Thank you. I’m r-really happy that I have you as a friend in my life… S-sometimes I just don’t have enough words to explain *how* much!”
“So your name is Bill?” Phasma asked with a smile. “Pleasure to meet you, my name is Lenina.”
“William, r-really, but Bill for short,” he said, a small smile dawning on his face, and then shook her hand. “Nice to m-meet you, Lenina.”
He took one look at his dirty work uniform and said, “Oh! Sorry, I th-think I’ve gotten you dirty.”
“About as well a-as a stressed out sibling can,” he laughed. Hux always overworked himself to the point of ignoring all else, twin included. “But he’s helped me g-get settled into the Finalizer, so I owe him a l-lot.”
