“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.

Sarah holds techie close, “oh my poor sweetheart” she kisses the top of his head. “I’m so sorry you’ve gone through so much hell…. but I love you just the same, if not more.”

Techie melts into her embrace, grateful. “Th-thank you, Sarah. Dragging all this n-nasty stuff up makes me feel like sh-shit. I don’t want to think about the p-past anymore!” He clutches at her as though his life depends on it.

“Anywhere is good, but Endor s-sounds awesome!” He takes Sarah’s hands in his and kisses her palms. “What kind of dress do y-you want?” Techie’s overactive imagination is already supplying a few ideas, but he’d rather hear what Sarah has to say.

The praise is like a drug to his sex-addled mind. He could cum just from light petting and his sweet brother’s even sweeter words. Techie’s entire world had narrowed down to Armitage’s cock between his lips, and when he pulls away, Techie follows blindly after to kitten-lick his slick length once more, dazed.

“Please do,” he gasps, eyes blown open wide. Techie stands up to his full height and clings to Hux, arms thrown around his neck. He’d rather not separate from Hux for even one minute, but if it means they’ll get to move to the bed…

The towel is swiped off the rack quickly and Techie wraps them both up to seep up the excess water.

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

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

“If I were to s-set you up with someone… In a, erm, hypoth-thetical scenario… would you be okay with either a b-boy or a girl? Or someone else?”

Techie’s cheeks are flushed rose-red from embarrassment. It had taken a good three hours of psyching himself up for this before he’d gotten the courage to ask.

Hypothetically matt knew what that meant. If Techie was looking to set him up with someone else that meant he had no interest him. Why would he as he was with someone else. Maybe matt would like the guy he was being set up with. He wanted to frown but forced a smile on his face.

“ guys I like guys.”

Techie’s entire face transformed. There was no way he could hide his utter joy; his pupils whirred wide open and lips parted with an upward tick to them, eyebrows raising. “Oh! M-Me too! Guys are great!!” he blurted out, so damn excited his heart felt full, fingers grasping Matt’s sleeve and tangling up in it.

If Matt only liked men, then he couldn’t be dating Kess!! Techie sort of swooned forward like he wanted to kiss Matt. Which he did want. A lot.

Matt felt his heart fluter as he watched techies facial expression change. He could t hold back the wide smile that pulled on his lips when he confessed to him that he too liked guys.

At least that was one less thing matt had worry about as a reason techie wouldn’t want to go out with him. Still it didn’t mean he would like him. Matt probably wasn’t even his type.

“ yeah they really are aren’t they?” He said with a small smile.

He looked down to where techi s band was twisted in his sleeve. Even that light bit of contact caused matt to flush.

Still riding a wave of euphoria, Techie tugged insistently at his sleeve until they’d gotten even closer. “Matt… I d-didn’t really want to s-set you up with anyone.” Just me, he thinks desperately. Just ME.

But this is crazy. Techie’s lost his mind. He should let go of him right now and stop begging Matt for a kiss with his eyes.

His grip on the fabric tightens.

>Foxglove speaking< How are your wounds? Do you need anything?

techiehux:

“Hi, F-Foxglove!” Techie looked up from the greenhouse’s rows of crops, stopping to wipe at his nose and managing to get dirt on his face. Months of working amongst nature with his new gang had given his cheeks a rosy glow, and he’d even managed to put on enough weight to form a little pouch over his tummy, no longer skin and bones.
“I’m d-doing a lot better. I owe you my l-life,” he smiled.

“Ha, n-not so much! Some th-thorns got in my thumb. See?” Techie holds out his hand with the thumb out, unbothered by Foxglove wiping the dirt from his face. He was getting better about being touched, too. There’s a gash from where the thorn ripped his skin, reddened and bleeding. Luckily, he hadn’t gotten any dirt in it while working.

“Well hello, Billiam,” Kess beamed, pulling over a chair and sitting across from him at his workbench, “How are you?”

| techiehux

techiehux:

“B-Billiam?” Techie couldn’t stop the helpless laugh that slipped past his lips. That nickname was a first! He took in the woman’s appearance and scrunched up his brows in thought once the giggles dissolved. Hardly anyone approached him unless they knew Matt or wanted him to do their shift. She didn’t look like a tech, at least. “Are you… Matt’s f-friend?” Putting his toolbox aside to clear space on the workbench for her, Techie gave her a small, lopsided smile.

Techie presses his hands together in a praying position, palm-to-palm, and then rests his lips against the tops of his fingernails. This could either end very good or very bad. “Kess. I… accept. I’ll do it. But I need your w-word that this will be untraceable. My future with the First Order is on th-the line, here.” 

My kids’ future. My future with Matt. It’s all in peril. But the payoff is worth the risk, isn’t it?

Thomas needs a new respirator, and surgery on his lungs if he can afford it. Zoe’s working her ass off to cover the bills.

Yeah. It’s worth it.

Techie sits up straighter and reaches his hand out. “Deal, Kess. Th-thank you.”

He scooched closer to Nao and gently slotted her against his chest, bringing his legs up to make some kind of half-cocoon. The world had already beaten them both down enough for a lifetime, but maybe, just maybe, Nao could feel sheltered here, with him. Safe.

Techie feigned sleep long enough for any excess tension to drain. His mind started to drift, hazy ideas fleeting when he tried to focus on any of them. There were images, too. Vague but good ones…

Of a future where they could both be happy. Maybe together.
