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.

Techie lets out a snort of laughter. “That’s an understatem-ment if ever I’ve heard one!” He shakes his head and adds, “You should see H-Hux when he’s exhausted: p-puffing on a cigarra with bloodshot eyes and staring straight at a point on the wall for, ah, hours… super creepy!“

Techie tread carefully with his next words. "What do *you* d-do when you’re overworked?” He didn’t want to pry, but he worried for Ren. Certain things he had heard gave him a good *reason* to worry. It was possibly they were only rumors, but if not? Then Ren needed help.

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 looked pleased that the attraction was mutual judging by how his face lit up like a star, but he felt somewhat exasperated too. “Feelings aren’t something you can c-control or *explain*, Kylo. I don’t know much about you, that’s true. B-but I do know that I WANT to learn more. You’re f-fascinating, and powerful, and I actually mean something to you! You talk to me like I matter!”

His face pinked and he eyed some icing near Ren’s bottom lip. “There aren’t, um, a lot of people I can say that about.” All this time, he hadn’t tried to reach out and touch Ren, but without realizing it he’d begun to inch closer.

He added, embarrassed, “If it makes you f-feel better, I can say my feelings are only physical… That’s a l-lot easier to, uh, justify, right?”

And then bolts for the nearest exit.

Even though Techie was having trouble looking at Ren directly after the kiss, his pupils dilated so fast and so hard they made an audible whirr. Voice shaking with shame, he confesses, “I l-like to be hurt, sometimes.” Spending his puberty amongst cruel gangsters hadn’t helped.

Then he turns his red-cheeked face towards Ren and meets his gaze. “And if it’s you, I m-mind even less.” Techie’s fingers curl into the hem of his dress shirt anxiously.

And then bolts for the nearest exit.

There’s something in his eyes that begs Ren not to probe further. One more little push and Techie is certain he’ll say something he shouldn’t. “Let’s eat some c-cake,” he offers instead, anxious.

Somehow he catches the hint. But it only adds to he questions.

“I’ve never had much cake. Maybe twice before? Homemade stuff. Nothing with so much color, though. Or, lack of, I guess?”

He cuts a slice and puts it onto a paper plate with a sunflower-themed trim. As he sticks a plastic spoon into the cake’s icing and hands it to Ren, Techie asks, “Do you like cake though? I’d h-hate to make you something you don’t like!”

Inwardly, he wondered why sadness flickered on Ren’s face when he gave him the wire figures…

He scoops up a generous bite in his spoon and gracelessly pops it into his mouth, mushing it around about in his mouth. “I wouldn’t eat it everyday, but I like it. It’s not dry or too sweet or mushy. You made it? Painted it up and everything?”

-for me…?-

Finally, what he’d been holding back rushed out of Techie all at once: he leapt up and pressed a quick kiss to Kylo’s lips. The sight of Ren enjoying the cake he’d made himself was too sweet to pass up.

“B-because I like you…” he confesses, heart pounding. This man is kind, gentle, and beautiful. How could Techie ever want anyone else?

“If the "bad guys” aren’t good to each other, who will be?“ Techie gives Ren a lopsided smile and added, "I’m not sure if I’m m-making sense, but I’m not proud of myself either, and maybe, j-just maybe, we can be good to each other when nobody else will.”

He puts his hand on Ren’s shoulder and gives a little friendly squeeze.

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.
