“R-really?” He picked up a strand of his hair and held it between two fingers, examining it closely. With a secretive smile, he said, “I’m k-kinda proud of my h-hair, you know.” It isn’t something he tells others often.

“So, you like Phasma then?” Hux nods and smiles slightly. “Take good care of her.” @general-gingerbowie

“Yes! I r-really, um, I m-mean… yes, I d-do,” Techie blushes. He’s turning so red someone might mistake him for one of those old-timey Earth fire extinguishers. “And I p-plan to,” he adds shyly, but looks up from the ground and fixes his gaze on his brother, brows furrowed. “But don’t y-you like her too?”
That bothers him more than anything. He knows Hux doesn’t have many good things in his life. Can Techie really go off to his own “happily ever after” with the girl of his brother’s dreams? SHOULD he?
Realizing he’d been staring off into the distance, mouth gaping and eerily silent for much too long, Techie yelps, “Oh!” and buries his face in his hands.
“S-sorry, I think my brain sh-short c-circuit-t-ted,” Techie moans, trying to think of *anything* but Phasma in a wedding dress.
“Are you alright, do you need anything?” Hux asked, slightly oblivious
“Uh- n-no? I’m f-f-fine, really! B-but what if… Phasma w-wants *me* to wear the g-garter?” It was an amusing thought, and it made Techie come to his senses a little bit more.
Mitaka sighs defeatedly as his broken data pad breathes it’s last breath in the middle of his report to the general. Which is due in the morning. He grabs his communicator and puts in a request for a technician to come look at it.
Techie hadn’t been having a good day. Not at all. Matt was nowhere to be found, Hux was busy doing who knows what, and his supervisor, Leslie, absolutely hated his guts. Which was why he jumped at the chance to get away from the monotony (and Leslie’s whining), accepting a recently requested job he hadn’t even looked at.
The last thing he expected was to find himself outside Lieutenant Mitaka’s quarters and realize he left his toolbox…somewhere? But it was too late to go find it, he’d knocked on the door and now it was opening!
Everything comes into startling clarity. Of course. Of course! Someone out there is playing a huge prank on him, because NO WONDER a superior officer -a Lieutenant no less- would want to hold his hand and look at Techie like he hung the stars in the sky.
“Ah, ha,” he says, sounding like he’s been punched; all air out from his lungs. He drops Mitaka’s hand. “L-let’s just focus on getting your d-datapad fixed,” he says through his pasted-on smile.
This hurts. This hurts so bad.
Because obviously nobody in their right mind would love him.
“P-please! Don’t h-hurt me, I’ll, I’ll do anyth-thing!”
Kylo looked down at the man, he sneered a bit. He knelt down to his level and gave a small smirk “Anything? You mean that do you? What do you have to offer me, pathetic man?” he held his hair to make him look at him in the eyes.
Looking aghast at Ren’s words, Techie shakes his head. “N-no, I… I want to l-live for a long t-time.” Quietly, he adds, “If I d-didn’t I wouldn’t be in the F-first Order at all.”
His tremors have calmed down to just a manageable shake. Techie reaches for his toolbelt and takes out a long, thin tube with a rounded, hollow end and scurries towards the sonic, disconnecting the pipes and lodging the tube near the clogged section.
As the little vaccuum hums to life, Techie asks, “Can’t y-you do this too? With th-the F-force?” He figures there’s no harm in asking; the worst has passed and Kylo Ren said he wouldn’t kill him. Techie can probably handle anything else that might happen. Or so he hopes.
Techie and Adeline Hux [Closed] [Part 3]
He undressed in record time and leapt into the sonic without giving himself even a quick glance in the mirror. He didn’t want to ruin today’s good start with insecurieties about his looks. From outside the bathroom he heard Adeline tinkering with her chemistry set and allowed himself a private smile. If she’s happy and healthy then it’s a good day no matter what.
Once he steps out, feeling fresh and with only the normal irritation in his eyes instead of the “really fucking bad” one, he puts on the bottom half of his technician jumper and peers out of the doorframe to check on Addie.
Tfw you want to cosplay as Techie and your parents won’t let you because it’s “crossdressing” 🙃
[Public Post]
Just a heads up: I’ll be busy for most of today. I got invited to a First Order officer’s party (well, *Hux* got invited and I’m his plus one). I’m more than a little anxious about it but we’ll see how it goes…

Reblog if you’re a Star Wars roleplayer
I’m making a master list since I can’t seem to find any, and I think it would help a lot of people out. The list is here.
Not exactly but also kind of? 😕 I’ve crossed over into Star Wars, at least.
Maybe someday soon ❤
