Adeline and Techie Hux {Part 2} [CLOSED]

“Walk with me, Adeline,” Hux commanded, and took a few measured steps towards the hallway, fully expecting her to follow.

Techie watched silently, solemnly, and wondered if her legs would even be able to walk after being in disuse for so long.

“Techie, darling, tell Armie I miss him.”

“I promise I w-will, Captain. As soon as I’m done f-fixing up this console! “You-know-who” s-smashed it again.”

Techie couldn’t help it; he turned a pretty shade of pink. “You, um, d-do too,” he said, looking straight at her instead of slightly off to the side (like he usually did). His pupils were constantly focusing and refocusing.

“Oh! Th-this is what I wanted to, uh, show y-you.” Techie went over to his nightstand and pulled a cluster of chrome flowers out of a vase. “F-for you, Phasma.”

He held them out to her, and now, up close, she could see that they weren’t flower at all, but a collection of thin silver wires wrapped and twisted together to resemble a bundle of roses.

Techie bit his bottom lip, awaiting her reaction.

While they’d been speaking inside, Techie had caught sight of Hux and quickly masked his alarmed expression into an affectionate smile. “Armitage,” he said, and to his delight Hux only flinched a tiny bit instead of those horrible full-body shudders he did upon hearing his first name.

“Techie,” Hux said as he brushed past him towards the door. He still hadn’t warmed up enough to even TRY calling him his real name. Techie didn’t know what it was so there wasn’t much he could do.

Flinging his arms out to wrap around his brother’s bicep, Techie pulled Hux in for a sudden hug, desperate to keep him away from the door and from Adeline.

That’s how Ren found them when he opened the door: caught in an awkward embrace.

“Techie, darling, tell Armie I miss him.”

“I promise I w-will, Captain. As soon as I’m done f-fixing up this console! “You-know-who” s-smashed it again.”

Like a rocket he shoots out of his desk and opens the door for Phasma. He quickly adjusts his clothes: a nicer-than-usual blue dress shirt with a navy bowtie and long black pants.

“Hi, Phasma,” he greets her, out of breath from excitement. He welcomes her in. “You can sit h-here,” Techie says and pulls out the chair of his desk. “S-sorry it’s a little c-cramped.”

Smile faltering a little, Techie nods and says, “Uh, y-yeah! Of course.” He slips out of the room and shuts the door behind him. Leaning against the wall, his heart pounds. He’s irrationally jealous of Kylo Ren and his relationship with Adeline.
