Kix is usually good at keeping his head under pressure. He has to be, as a medic. During and right after battles, he generally manages to stay relatively composed; but then things wind down, and it's just the two of you, and suddenly he's weirdly flustered

Gets restless and will do anything to keep his hands busy, like reorganizing supplies or checking inventory. Wants to talk to you but his mind's gone blank. Is mentally yelling at himself to get it together but every time he makes eye contact with you his throat goes dry and he can't figure out what to say

Everyone else notices how awkward he gets around you too and teases him over it, which frankly doesn't help

The two of you naturally spend a lot of time together since you're both medics, and he does slowly adjust to having you around all the time, but the butterflies in his stomach never really go away. He can compartmentalize and push things down when he needs to focus, but downtime is when his feelings for you get sooo obvious

He developed a crush on you pretty fast, but that crush deepened very slowly. It's early on that he finds himself admiring how compassionate and capable you are and looking forward to every shift you work together, and then, over time, somewhere between late-night conversations and patching each other up after rough missions, that little crush turns into him falling hopelessly in love with you

Isn't sure how to tell you because he doesn't want to make things awkward. You already see each other all the time and him admitting to having feelings for you would definitely complicate things, especially if you don't feel the same

As he wrestles with that, he gets even more easily flustered around you. You'll squeeze his arm reassuringly after a rough mission or your hands will brush as you both reach for something or you'll compliment him and suddenly he's blushing bright red

He's also usually pretty quick with a joke or reassuring comment but around you every sentence gets overthought. Mentally beating himself up all the time because he'll have the perfect thing to say to you in his head, then he opens his mouth and he's stammering and coming across weirdly shy. As he turns and walks away he's internally yelling at himself like WHAT THE KRIFF WAS THAT. YOU KNEW WHAT TO SAY. WHY DID YOU SAY IT LIKE THAT

Is very considerate of you and tbh takes care of you a lot. Encourages you to rest and offers to take over duties for a bit so you can nap, reminds you to eat something, refills your canteen for you, stuff like that. Is so incredibly gentle and reassuring whenever you're injured and does everything he can to help you feel better. He might be awkward trying to talk about how he feels to you but it comes through in his actions a lot

Whenever you're talking about something you're passionate about his expression goes all soft and he kinda stares at you all captivated. Almost forgets to contribute to the conversation until you're like ….you good? and he snaps out of it, cheeks burning

Finally resolves to tell you how he feels after a particularly rough mission in which you get injured and he patches you up. He's so worried about you, he hates seeing you hurt, and he can't bear the thought of something happening to you and you not knowing how he feels. So he tells himself he's gonna confess his feelings to you as soon as you're better

And then…there are several failed attempts. He'll tell himself yup, today's the day I'm telling them, only for the words to disappear the moment you smile at him

When he finally does confess, it's more spur of the moment. He's kept it bottled up so long that it just spills out during one of your late-night conversations in the medbay. He's blushing so hard and speaking really softly and feels sooo self-conscious but he just can't keep it in anymore

501st

Rex:

Especially at first Rex gets so worried and concerned when you cry though he tries very hard to keep himself steady and not react too emotionally. He just hates seeing you upset and is instantly beside you, asking what's wrong/what happened. He wants to fix it but before anything else he needs to know that you're okay

When he realizes you're crying over something small or just needed to let some emotions out, he's slightly confused. Not judgmental, he just wasn't expecting the issue to be minor. Still, he's relieved, and lets out a quiet sigh as he pulls you against his chest, rubbing your back and quietly reassuring you, "It's alright, mesh'la. I've got you"

Over time he gets better at not getting as concerned every single time but he still gets slightly worried. He can't help it. Your tears break his heart a little and he will drop everything to hold you for a bit and try to make you feel better

Like he tells himself every time it happens that he's gotten used to it now and that next time it won't affect him so much, he'll be able to be steadier, he won't get so worried, etc. But the second you look at him with tears in your eyes he's completely melting and all of that is out the window

Fives:

Doesn't matter how many times you cry in front of him, he jumps to comfort you immediately. Hands on your shoulders, gently pulling you closer, asking what's wrong in that low, serious voice he always gets when he's worried about you

All the tension instantly leaves him when you explain you're crying over something small/just to emotionally regulate though. "Ohhh. That's all?" And then he's pulling you against his chest with a soft "Aww, c'mere, baby"

Holds you tight and talks you through your tears, and makes it his mission to get you smiling again. Will make increasingly ridiculous jokes until you crack, and is so pleased with himself when he finally gets you to laugh through your tears

Then he gently tilts your chin up and kisses all the tears off your face, murmuring little "love you"s between each one to keep you smiling. He acts very soft and affectionate and playful but internally he's being really intentional, paying really close attention to your expressions and making sure that you are actually okay

Kix:

Kix doesn't panic or jump to conclusions when he see you cry. His first response is a hand against your cheek, carefully brushing away your tears as he quietly asks you to talk to him

Never lets you feel silly for crying over something mundane. He gets just simply needing to cry sometimes and he doesn't question it, just settles in beside you and lets you

Has a very soothing way of talking you through it, offering quiet reassurance and either talking about whatever's bothering you or something else to distract you. There's no adjust period for him. Right off the bat he's just so gentle and reassuring every single time, even if he's tired or frustrated himself

Very attentive to the little things that seem to help. If talking seems to just draw things out, he'll stop talking as much. If he notices that sometimes it seems like you'd rather be alone, he gets into the habit of asking if you need some space prior to jumping in to comfort you. Learns all your tells and adjusts without making you explain yourself over and over

Jesse:

The second you start crying, Jesse's already up and ready to throw hands with whoever he assumes hurt you. He does NOT play about you and if you're upset, he's upset

When you explain what's wrong the first couple times he's a little surprised just like ….huh. oh. He does calm down a little bit though, glad that there's not something serious going on, though he's still a little worried about you

Is very sympathetic and affectionate and quickly stops needing you to explain yourself. He sees the tears coming and just pulls you into his lap, kisses your temple, asks if you need anything, and settles down to stay with you as long as you need him

Won't tease you in the moment while you're actually crying, but might tease lightly about it later, laughing when you smack his arm and immediately pulling you into a hug. He gets good at normalizing it because he never wants you to actually feel bad about it

Hardcase:

Hardcase isn't sure what to do the first few times he sees you crying. He's just rushing over like "Nonono baby, it's okay! C'mere," and grabs you into a hug before thinking about anything else

Will genuinely try everything to make you feel better. Hugging you, rubbing your back/shoulders, offering you a drink or food, talking about whatever, asking you wanna go somewhere, trying to tell jokes, offering to punch someone/something. Whatever comes to mind lol

When you explain that you aren't really upset about anything serious, that actually gets him to relax a little bit. He's like oh thank kriff and just hugs you tighter

Honestly gets really good at comforting you because he's learnt what works. He's gone through every possible thing that could ever be used to comfort someone and he remembers the ones that you were receptive to lol

Tup:

Tup's always initially concerned when he sees you crying but he doesn't immediately bombard you with questions. He just sits with you and asks quietly if you wanna talk about it, and if you don't he doesn't push you

When you explain the first time that you sometimes just need to cry, he understands more easily than you'd maybe expect. He's had his own moments where little things got to him more than he'd like, though he tends to keep those moments private

While he is understanding, he's not always completely sure what he's supposed to do to make you feel better because he's used to kinda dealing with it himself when it happens to him. He ends up just kinda hovering a little. He'll bring you something to drink and stay near you even after you're feeling better, asking if you're okay every so often

It makes him more comfortable crying around you too tbh. He's a little embarrassed the first few times but he learns that if something gets to him you'll give him the same understanding he gives you and that's really comforting to him

Dogma:

The first time Dogma sees you cry he's overwhelmed. He's panicking a little bit tbh but trying really hard to hide it, dropping to one knee in front of where you're sitting to look up at you as he asks what's wrong, what happened, who hurt you, what can he do

When you explain that you're crying over something small, he's genuinely shocked into silence. He'd mentally prepared himself for an actual crisis and has no idea how to react to you crying because like. you just need to.

There's a little bit of irritation because he feels like he got himself worked up for no reason. But he's torn between irritation and still that mild panic because even though the reason is small, seeing you cry is just straight up breaking his heart. Eventually kinda awkwardly pulls you against him and holds you very tightly, just wanting to be close as he thinks through how to handle this

He does improve with time. It takes him a long while to figure the whole "comforting" thing out, but he's so devoted to you and the idea of berating you for not having a good enough reason to cry or making you deal with it alone is completely unacceptable to him

Commanders

Cody:

Careful not to jump to any conclusions when you cry, instead calmly but firmly asking you what's wrong. Gives you his full attention without immediately assuming anything

Listens to any explanation you give him without judgement or trying to determine whether the reason is "important enough" to warrant tears. If you're upset, he cares, and that's that. He mostly just wants to know in case it's something he can fix. If he can, great. If he can't, at least he can still try to reassure you

Purposefully keeps himself really steady, making it very clear you don't have to justify your emotions to him and that no reason is too small for you to need comfort or reassurance from him. He adjusts quickly to your habits and it just honestly never feels like a big deal with him even at the beginning

He does get mildly clingy afterwards when you're feeling better though. Once you've finished crying he tends to keep you close for the rest of the day, finding little excuses to touch you or stay beside you. He's subtle about it but if you're curled up against him after a good cry he's in no particular hurry to let you go

Wolffe:

Wolffe assumes something is seriously wrong when he sees you crying and he wants answers immediately. His expression just hardens, trying to hide how worried he is, and he directly asks what happened or what's going on

Is slightly thrown the first couple times when you explain that nothing's happened and you're crying over something small. He's borderline a little bit incredulous and just kinda stands there processing for a second. Isn't totally sure what to do with himself when there isn't anything tangible for him to do to help, and he bites his tongue to avoid saying something sharp

Eventually just scoffs, hooks an arm around you, and pulls you firmly against his side as he mutters to you not to scare him like that. He's a little gruff about it but his hand is rubbing your arm the whole time

If you try to apologize for worrying him though he gets really irritated and won't hear any of it. Cuts you off before you can even finish the sentence with a firm "Don't". Just keeps you pulled against his side with his arm around you until you start feeling better. You didn't do anything wrong just by crying and he's not going to let you feel guilty for it

Over time he gets good on picking up on the signs that you're about to cry and even before the tears start to fall he's sighing quietly and reaching out to squeeze your hand, reminding you he's there for you and that everything's okay

Fox:

Fox takes every single tear personally every single time. There's no such thing as a "stupid" or "mundane" reason for you to cry, to him. Whatever the reason, he's treating it as serious

Like. You spilt your drink and it was just the final straw that pushed you to tears? That cup is now Fox's least favorite and he glares at it every time he sees it, like it was somehow directly its fault. You had a rough day at work? He's suddenly asking extremely pointed questions about your coworkers and whether your boss has given you trouble before like he's plotting revenge right off the bat

He simply will not rest until you're feeling better. If there is no real problem, doesn't matter. He's fucking finding one to fix. He just makes it so extremely clear that he's on your side no matter what's wrong and no matter how insignificant you feel the reason for your tears is, and he physically can't just sit there and do nothing while you cry. He HAS to do something

Treating every single time you cry as super serious has its downsides though obviously because HE'S the one blowing things out of proportion. Has to make a very conscious effort to not jump to conclusions whenever he spots the tears coming. Instead he'll get affectionate, even more than usual, like borderline smothering you with it. He's gotta do SOMETHING and if that's just pulling you on top of him and practically crushing you in his arms so be it

Hunter

Hunter can tell you're tired before you even entered your shared place. He can hear the sound of your dragging feet and the little sighs of exhaustion and he is moving before you open the door.

He closes the blinds, dimming lights as he goes and lighting one of your favourite scented candles, just as you open the door. Hunter is quiet as you close it behind you, not greeting you verbally or with any touch, knowing you can be just as overstimulated as him after a long day.

Your eyes are already drooping as he reaches for your jacket and slides it from your shoulders, hanging it up before kneeling in front of you and starting to untie your shoes. A sigh of relief escapes your lips as you step out of them and the tension finally falls from your frame.

"Thank you," you mutter, reaching for his hand.

"Of course," he replies, voice low, making it even huskier than usual. You shudder, letting yourself be pulled towards the living room. There, you collapse onto the couch, finally closing your eyes.

Hunter comes up behind the couch, reaching for your shoulders and starting to press down on the knots that accumulated over the day.

"You're so tense again," he mutters as you groan when he finds a particularly tense spot.

"Mhh, you're so good at it," you reply, melting into the cushions even further as Hunter continues, moving up to your neck. He then leans down, placing a soft kiss on your forehead and yeah, you could come home to this every day.

Tech

You open the door to your home, a headache pulsing between your eyes. Work had been anything other than great today and you can't wait to fall into bed and do nothing else for the rest of your day.

"You're late." A voice pulls you from your thoughts.

"Hm?"

"You arrived approximately twelve minutes later than usual. Traffic?" Tech asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"Yeah, it was horrible," you run a hand through your hair, hanging up your jacket and kicking off your shoes.

"Mh," Tech's mouth pulls into a thin line, "Then my preparations have been a good idea."

"… your what?" You shake your head, trying to clear the fog from your tired mind.

"Come, I'll show you." Tech grabs your hand, pulling you along through the rooms until he stops in front of the bathroom, pushing the door open.

For a moment, you stand there frozen, letting your eyes travel.

"I have observed you taking a hot bath for relaxation purposes before so I thought…" Tech trails off, waiting for your reaction. "Did I conclude wrong?"

"No. No, not at all Tech. This… This is perfect." You look around the bathroom, taking in the scented candles — your favourite smell — basking it all in a comfortable atmosphere.

A tray with your favourite snacks sits on the ledge, waiting for you.

It is perfect.

"Good, now enjoy it," Tech says, turning away while you undress.

You step over the edge and submerge yourself into the hot water, the warmth immediately seeping into your muscles and letting the tension drain from you. You thought Tech would leave you alone while you relax but apparently he has other ideas.

Tech kneels next to the tub, reaching over to massage your shoulders and a sigh of relief escapes your lips. After about ten minutes, he stops, and you whine but his hands return seconds later, massaging shampoo into your hair.

It continues like that for a while as second by second, all the stress that has accumulated throughout the day falls from you.

"Tech, are you an angel?" you mutter, sinking further down in the water, your eyes closing as sleep pulls at your mind.

"Not that I'm aware off."

You smile, receiving a kiss on the forehead.

Wrecker

"I'm in the kitchen," Wrecker calls once you enter your home. An incredible smell is already in the air, making your mouth water. You put your things down and kick your shoes off before following the smell.

"Is that—?"

"I wanted to celebrate your first day of work, so I made your favourite." Wrecker smiles, turning to look at you for a second before focusing back on the stove.

You go up behind him and wrap your arms around his frame, leaning your weight against him. "You're the best," you mutter into his back, breathing in the smell.

"For cooking some food? Nah," he laughs, "Now go and pick out a movie. It'll be ready in a second."

You nod, letting go reluctantly and move towards the living room, looking for your favourite movie that you have watched hundreds of times before but your brain is so fried, you can't possibly take in anything new.

Then, you plop down on the couch, making it comfortable for yourself on the soft cushions, waiting patiently for your partner.

"Food's coming!" Wrecker exclaims as he goes into the living room with two plates stacked high. Your mouth waters at the sight and you reach for the plate before he's even close to you.

"Wrecker, this is perfect!" you muse as you eat, the food melting in your mouth. It is exactly like what you had as a child and it brings back so many memories of warmth that you can do nothing but close your eyes and enjoy it.

After finishing it, Wrecker turns the movie on and you cuddle up against him. He wraps an arm around you, pulling you even closer and placing a kiss on your forehead.

"Are you gonna do that every day?" you mumble, leaning your head against his shoulder.

"If you want, of course."

Crosshair

You fumble with the keys to your home, dropping them and cursing under your breath. Nothing was going right today.

As you bend to pick them up, the door opens and Crosshair stands there with his arms crossed and looking unimpressed.

You know he isn't the biggest fan of you going to work, preferring to have you near. It isn't necessary for you to work, if you are honest, but at this point it was more of a habit.

Still, as you enter, he reaches for your jacket and pulls it off your shoulders, hanging it up for you, before he crouches down to unlace your shoes. You step out of them and wrap your arms around his lean frame, burying your face in his chest.

Crosshair hesitates for a moment before embracing you fully, running a hand over your back. "Stupid people again?" He drawls as you pull back.

"Mhm, you could say that." You rub a hand over your face, ready to do nothing for the rest of the day.

"I told you to let me speak to them just once."

"Cross, you're not threatening my coworkers," you mutter, knowing he isn't entirely serious.

"Hmph, suit yourself."

You walk past him, further into your home with Crosshair following you. You can feel his eyes glaring at your back as you favour one side, sore from all you had to do all day.

"Bed. Now," he says, walking past you and a smile pulls at your lips. He tries so hard to be cold but you know better.

Stepping into your bedroom, you sink into your soft mattress after changing into something more comfortable. Crosshair appears soon after, kneeling in between your legs with a bottle of scented oil in his hand.

He warms a drop of it in between his palms before gliding his hands over your calves, pressing into the spots that hold the most tension. You groan as he finds a particularly bad knot and he doesn't let up until it's fully gone.

After your calves, he moves further up to your thighs, then your hips, and then the rest of your body. How he got so good at this, you have no idea, but by the end, you feel boneless.

"Thank you," you mumble, fighting against your eyes closing.

Cross cleans his hands with a rug before leaning over you and capturing your lips in a searing kiss. You sigh into it.

If going to work got you this treatment, you would never stop.

Echo

As soon as the door shuts behind you, you lean back against it, taking a moment to rest. You are so so tired. Work was bad. Your coworkers were annoying. Traffic had been horrible.

And you can't even relax now.

There are things you hadn't been able to get to the past few days and deadlines are getting closer while your chores are piling up, things that are difficult for Echo to complete with one arm or things like paperwork that he just can't know everything about.

With a sigh, you push yourself away from the door, intending to finally get to it, when you bump into something

You look up at Echo in surprise but he just wraps his arms around you and holds you for a second as you let the tension from the day melt from you.

"Long day?" Echo mutters into your hair, his low voice making a shiver run down your spine.

"Mhm," you only grumble against his body where your head was buried.

"Come on, let's get you to bed then," he says, pulling you along to your bedroom.

"But I need—" You start to protest, eyeing the stack of paperwork on the desk.

"You don't need anything. I got everything handled while you were away." He smiles slightly as if it's nothing.

"But… but…" you begin again and Echo just stops, placing a kiss on your forehead.

"It was nothing. I got some of the others to help." You finally enter your bedroom, stopping when your favourite snacks are neatly arranged on the nightstand, some that you have been searching for for years and couldn't find anywhere on your planet.

"Are you real?" You ask, already tearing open the packaging to one of them.

You hear a chuckle from behind you before a hand settles on your lower back and a kiss was planted on your temple. "Just relax tonight, you deserve it."

Always talks about you to his brothers. They’re kinda sick of it but put up with it because they know he just misses you

Loves when you’re there to greet him when he’s back on Coruscant.

Will lift you into his arms with a massive smile

Loves to spend his leave just relaxing with you

He liked having lazy days that are spent watching your favourite show or movie

Loves to just be in sweats or boxers with nothing else on. He’s so used to his heavy arc armour and therefore likes to wear as little as possible

Loves to nap with you

He doesn’t care if you’re busy doing something he’ll just bring you to bed or the sofa and collapse you on top of him

He claims he sleeps better with you on top of him

Snores really loudly

Sometimes you’ll have to wake him up if it gets particularly bad and you’re not getting any sleep

He loves watching you get ready

Will lie in bed and watch you as you do your hair or makeup. Thinks your pretty without it though

If you have a pet of any kind he will love him/her with all of his heart

The two of them are always getting up to no good

As I said before, he was a bit of a player before you and so therefore has quite a bit of experience

He knows what he’s doing

But of course takes time to learn what you specifically like

Loves eating you out

Seriously. It’s like his favourite thing to do

Of course loves a good blowjob like any man does

Finds it funny if you get grumpy about his past experiences but will always reassure you that your the only girl for him now

Doggy style is his favourite position

Especially if it’s in front of a mirror

Prefers to take his time with you but is always down for a quickie too

Is very attentive and loving during sex

He would never do anything that could hurt you. You’re the most precious thing in his life and he would never jeopardise that.

He does love spanking you though

Even if your cooking or doing whatever, he loves to come up behind you and slap your ass

And finds it funny when you get grumpy with him for doing it when he knows you secretly love it

If the two of you are at the barracks, he is so careful because he doesn’t want any of his brothers seeing you in that way

Though one time he got a talking to from Rex after he heard the two of you going at it in a storage closet

Gregor who gets impatient after a long mission away.

He hits the button to close your door behind him a little harder than he needs to, still smelling like a battlefield, not bothering to switch a light on because the city lights through the window are more than enough. His greeting is quick and breathless and he barely gets it out before he's yanking you up and pressing his mouth to yours, cutting himself off.

He has you pressed up against the window almost before you can think, your chest pressed against the cool transparisteel, one of his hands gripping your waist as the other works your sleep shorts down, and then switches to get just enough of his armor off as necessary to free his cock. The skylanes visible below through the window are empty enough at this hour, but not fully. Gregor doesn't care.

"Missed you," he mutters against the shell of your ear, voice low and warm and still carrying a grin even while he's grinding the hard length of his cock against the cleft of your ass. "Missed you so much. Whole damn mission I kept thinking about how good you'd look just like this. Had dreams about it."

You push back into him, palms flat on the transparisteel. "You're such a sap when you're horny."

He laughs and tilts his head to nip the side of your neck just hard enough to make you gasp, then soothes the sting with his tongue. "Only for you, baby. Now spread those legs a little bit for me."

You do, and he doesn't bother with more than a quick swipe of spit and the slick already gathering between your thighs before teasing your entrance with the blunt head of his cock. He groans, pressing his forehead against your shoulder.

"Kriff. You got yourself ready for me, didn't you," he mutters, barely a question. "Did you cum?"

Your breathing is uneven now, and you arch your back, trying to press harder against him. "No," you reply breathlessly. "Was waiting for you."

"Good." He finally presses in with a slow push, groaning. "Ahhhh…all for me, huh." His hips snap forward, pushing you harder against the window, and one of his hands slides around to cup your breast under your shirt. His thumb brushes your nipple and then he pinches it as he starts to fuck you properly, rougher than usual after so long without.

"Kriffff…look at you," he grits out against your ear, his free hand coming down to find your clit and start rubbing firm, wet circles that make your knees threaten to buckle. "Anyone passing by could see exactly how good this pretty body takes my cock, huh."

Heat floods your face. You try to turn your head, but he catches your chin and keeps you facing the transparisteel, his mouth finding your neck. "Gregor--"

"Shhh. You're doing so good." Another deep thrust, slower this time, letting you feel every inch while his fingers keep working your clit. His hand leaves your chin to grope your breast again, rolling the soft weight of it in his palm. "Let 'em look. Let 'em see who you belong to. How kriffing good you take me."

You whimper, pushing back to meet him. "You're-- ah-- you're impossible."

"And you love it." He kisses the hinge of your jaw, panting against your skin as his rhythm turns even rougher, more desperate. The transparisteel is fogging under your breath, your knees growing weak as he keeps driving into you, his fingers on your clit still pressing, circling, sometimes dipping down to where you're stretched around him just to gather more slick and drag it back up.

"C'mon, baby," he rasps, his hand leaving your breast so he can instead wind his arm around your waist and help hold you up as he feels you getting shakier. "Gonna cum for me? Give the whole damn city a show."

You hold on for as long as you can, but finally break with a loud cry, your walls clamping down hard around him as your orgasm hits you.

"Yeahhh. Kriff, there it is." Gregor swears under his breath as you clench around him, hips stuttering, and then he's burying himself as deep as he can go, groaning low against your neck as he spills inside you in thick pulses. He stays there for a moment, grinding lazily through the aftershocks, still rubbing slow, gentler circles over your clit.

When he finally eases out, the rush of his release follows, warm and messy, dripping down the insides of your thighs. Gregor makes a quiet, appreciative sound at the sight, then turns you around and kisses you.

"So good," he praises against your mouth, voice wrecked but pleased. "C'mere."

He walks you backward toward the bed, still mostly in his armor but completely uncaring, and eases you down onto the mattress. He crawls between your spread legs without another word, his hands settling on your thighs and spreading them a little wider. He looks up at you, his grin somewhere between smug and playful.

"Time for me to clean you up, eh?" he says, and then leans in.

Hunter:

Honestly is kinda awkward about your awkwardness at first lol. Like it almost kinda rubs off on him a little bit and he comes off a little stiff around you. He'll try to make conversation, pick up on how nervous you are, try to fix it, and just manages to make the interaction more awkward. It doesn't take him too long to adjust though and he gets a lot better at putting you at ease

Gets really good at picking up on when you're getting anxious. He'll notice as soon as you start fidgeting or going quiet or whatever and he'll shift closer, either redirecting the conversation himself or asking under his breath whether you wanna take a minute/leave

Is used to taking charge anyway so he'll take over things that he knows make you anxious, or talk you through situations that you're dreading before you have to do them

Gets annoyed on your behalf if someone puts you on the spot. Even if you can handle it himself he'll usually step in because if he sees you're uncomfortable his immediate instinct is to make it stop

Does get maybe a little overprotective over time. If he knows a situation is going to make you anxious he'll start planning around it, making sure you're not left alone with people you don't know well, making sure he's close enough that you can easily get his attention, and finding excuses to pull you away if he notices you've had enough. He insists he's not hovering but often he kinda is

Tech:

Tbh Tech initially doesn't think much of your awkwardness. Like he kinda barely notices it. He responds to things you say really straightforwardly/directly like he would with anyone else and doesn't dwell on embarrassing moments. As he gets closer to you he gets pretty good at reassuring you if you start overthinking interactions as well

Wants to help you manage your anxiety and is pretty practical about it. Likes figuring out the root cause of why certain things make you anxious and then coming up with feasible ways to make it more manageable

Occasionally pushes you to do things yourself if he knows you're avoiding them but also that you'll be able to handle them. Makes sure you're prepared first but he wants you to understand that being anxious doesn't mean you're incapable and also doesn't want you to feel like you're totally dependent on him in difficult situations

Good at including you in things even if you're being really quiet. Like he'll add little clarifications or comments in his explanations for things that are clearly meant for you even if he's talking to someone else, or will ask your opinion about something, or will mention something that you know a lot about as an invitation for you to engage, though he doesn't ever pressure you. He just likes hearing what you have to say and wants to make sure you know that

Isn't very affectionate around other people but if you've had a hard day he'll be a little more affectionate than usual, just trying to give you a little extra reassurance

Wrecker:

Pretty good social buffer tbh. If someone starts talking to you and you don't know what to say he's good at jumping in himself to take pressure off you. And like, he draws a lot of attention. So it's pretty easy for him to get you off the hook

Kinda finds your awkwardness endearing right off the bat. Thinks it's cute when you get flustered or stumble over your words or say something without thinking and it's one of the reasons he develops a crush on you in the first place

Not a good person to ask about whether something you said/did was awkward/embarrassing because he simply does not judge you for the same things you judge yourself for and will be baffled nearly every time, wondering why you're beating yourself up over it so much

That being said, he'll reassure you anyway. Is often very physically comforting. Pulls you against his chest, rubs your back, giving you a squeeze and either letting you talk or distracting you with a different topic

He honestly picks up on signs that you're anxious/overwhelmed really fast, and remembers everything that helps. Like he learns all your tells so quickly it probably surprises you. He just always wants to know how to make you feel better in situations that are difficult/uncomfortable for you, so he's very attentive

Crosshair:

Frankly kinda rude about your awkwardness at first. Not like super mean but if you stumble over your words or say something awkward he'll sometimes make a dry/sarcastic comment

Gets more careful/considerate over time as he starts really caring about you. Will sometimes still tease you but he's figured out which things you can laugh at and which things upset you, and is careful to avoid the latter

If anyone ELSE makes fun of you though ohhhhh now he's got a problem. He can tease you but as soon as anyone else does it he's shutting them up by any means necessary

Otherwise pretty subtle in how he helps you deal with anxiety. He prefers to just kinda be present and let the knowledge that he's there for you if you need do the work, but if he notices you're genuinely uncomfortable or struggling he'll find a way to step in without bringing too much attention to it

If he knows you're going into a situation that's likely to make you particularly anxious or overwhelm you he makes sure you have an easy way out. He's coming up with excuses before anything's even happened, making sure you're near him, and if you give him the look he's already getting up and ready to leave before you have to say anything

Echo:

Echo doesn't make a big deal out of your awkwardness at first, tbh he kinda just shrugs it off and figures it'll improve as you warm up to him

When he notices you getting anxious he's good at checking in without putting you on the spot, he'll wait for a moment where attention is off you and just lean over and ask quietly if you need anything or want to step outside for a moment or whatever

Also really good at reassuring you if you get stuck in your head after awkward interactions

Careful never to speak for you unless you actually want him to. If you want him to handle something for you, he's glad to do it, but otherwise he gives you the time and space to answer for yourself. He's good at helping you to not just avoid things that make you uncomfortable but rather support/help you when necessary

If you're having a particularly bad anxiety day, he's happy to just stay close. He'll sit beside you, let you lean against him, rub his thumb over your hand and keep you company, letting you talk about it or not without actually putting pressure on you
