“Yeah!” Techie grinned, pumped up. This was fun! Spending all this extra time with Kylo was just the icing on the cake. 

Kylo showed Techie a couple of more blocks and smiled at how fast he was picking them up. Eventually, when he was sweaty and tired, he finally stopped at one of the blocks and grinned at his brand new apprentice.

“I’m impressed,” he said and swept the sweat away from his brow. “How are you feeling about what you learned?”

“Good! G-Great, actually!” Techie was a sweaty mess as well: his ponytail had come undone sometime between all the training, and his hair was plastered to his face and sticking up wildly at the back. “You’re an amazing teacher, K-Kylo.”

Techie knew full well he must stink (Kylo did too, a little) but there was no stopping him from giving Kylo a grateful hug.

Who did you get all these roses for?

Matt’s face flushed as he looked at the roses that were still clutches in his hands. Slowly his eyes rose to meet techies again a small smile spreading on his face. He sucked in a deep breath as he forced himself to keep his gaze steady with techies. He had bought the roses and now he was going to through with this. That’s what he told himself at least, not chicken out like he’d done every other time that he found himself in a similar situation.
“ t-they’re for you.”

Stunned, Techie took the flowers into his arms and gazed up at Matt with undisguised adoration. “M-Matt, they’re beautiful! Thank you!”

You’re beautiful.

He pressed a quick kiss to his cheek and smiled before nuzzling his nose into the petals and taking a deep breath of their wonderful fragrance.

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

ask-matttheradartechnician:

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

“Just tell me if I can k-kiss you again,” Techie says, voice hardly above a whisper. Their eyes are locked together. This is a strange and new situation… He’s got to be careful so Matt isn’t scared off. How can he confess to him without a crazed, “Marry me!!” slipping out?

Like something out of a dream, they’re here together. They’ve kissed, albeit so gentle it felt like a feather’s touch. But Matt is wonderfully solid under his hands. This isn’t a dream at all, thank the stars.

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

Techie’s eyes flutter shut and he sighs contentedly against the light brush of their lips, putting his palms on Matt’s chest. He’s so warm, and soft, and Techie wants to deepen the kiss… Matt might get nervous and pull away, though. He can’t risk that heartbreak, so he pulls away himself. This had to be some kind of mistake, right? Maybe Matt just got swept along and he hadn’t meant to kiss him so gently, so reverently. 

Poor self-esteem left him sort of unable to understand why Matt would actually lean in. He was so fucking perfect, every single thing about him! It didn’t make any sense that he’d kiss Techie, of all people, who looked liked a skittish droid and a greasy man’s love-child.

“I wanted to know, th-that’s all,” he whispers, hands still over Matt’s chest. If they didn’t ever move from this position, Techie could die happy. “The, uh. K-Kiss. W-was that…?” 

Techie takes the drink gratefully and latches onto the edge, guzzling it down with clear enthusiasm and a wide smile. His manners could use some improvement. 

“Armitage… h-have you ever wanted to find our mom? Our real mom?” Something about this scene, the two of them together and drinking, felt so domestic and warm. Suddenly it felt wrong to be here without her.

“Oh! Uh. Well… Mattie c-comes from Matt, obviously. And it’s. A nickname? A cute one. I think that it s-suits you!” Techie gives Matt’s shoulder another squeeze and then slips his hands back down to his own lap. Is today the day that he dies of embarrassment? Probably! 

He’s stammering and so hot all over that a volcano would be jealous! 

“I know that most people c-call me Techie, so… a nickname for you w-would be good too. And it’s an honor for me to p-pick one out for you. Do you… like it?”

“Were you in boy scouts? Because you sure have tied my heart in a knot.”

“W-what?…”
Matt could feel his face flushing at the words. At the same time he let out a small laugh because who said something like that. He couldn’t tell if the man was being serious or just messing around with him.

Techie’s smile falters. Okay, so that one was no good. He draws a big X over that pick-up line in his mental notebook and resolves to come up with something better. Oh! An idea!

“I b-bet you can’t come up with a better pickup line than mine, Matt!” Techie’s wide grin gets turned on towards Matt at full blast. He’s certain he’ll die of love if he hears a pickup line come out of Matt’s own mouth, but it’ll have been worth it.

Matt raised an eyebrow. What that what this was some kind of challenge.

“ oh is this a pick up line challenge? Let me think. Hmmm.”

This really wasn’t something matt was ever any good at. Pick up lines were more Ben’s speed. Maybe if he used one he heard Ben use that would work. He heard him use plenary to pick up girls when they were younger. He thought trying to pick out a good one that wasn’t too cheesy because Ben could do cheesy well.

“Hey, you’re pretty and I’m cute. Together we’d be Pretty Cute.”

“Shit, we w-would be,” Techie mutters to himself under his breath. There’s a blush threatening to rise high in his cheeks.

Okay. My turn.

“Did you sit in a p-pile of sugar? Because you’ve got a, um, pretty sweet… ass.”

Matt’s whole face went red at that line. He never thought he’d hear techie say something like that directed at him. If only these lines were being said seriously because that would be great. Matt let out a long sigh at that thought.

“ um ah let’s see hmmm…is that a mirror in your pants because I can see myself in them.”

Matt’s face got even redder after he stuttered that one out. It had been another gem he’d herd Ben use. He just hopped it wasn’t too much.

K.O!!

Techie’s eyes suddenly start humming like loud laptop fans, mouth open and staring incredulously at Matt. Fucking hell.

“Y-Y-You win! I’m gonna go… over there. Bye!” Techie moved faster than light when he felt the beginning of arousal stirring in the pit of his stomach. He was ridiculously easy to turn on, but there was no way in hell he’d stick around so Matt could see the boner he’d been about to pop.

“Were you in boy scouts? Because you sure have tied my heart in a knot.”
