Hunter:

Always leans in a little bit when you speak even tho he doesn't have to, just wants you to be able to visibly tell he's listening and it becomes a subconscious thing

Keeps track of things you're running low on and replaces them without being asked

"Tests" things for you first like if you're walking somewhere unfamiliar he'll be the first one to step over unstable ground, or will like test the temperature of food/drinks before handing it to you and warn you if it's too hot (STOP BURNING YOUR TONGUE FOR ME I CAN SEE ITS STEAMING LIKE DAMN)

Tech:

Narrates what he's doing more when you're around or if he's talking to someone else he'll add little clarifications clearly meant for you even if he doesn't look at you

Repeats words/phrases you use more often over time and starts picking up YOUR habits without even realizing it

Whenever you're sitting side by side he angles his body so you can see what he's working on even if you haven't shown any interest

Wrecker:

Keeps track of what you don't finish eating, like if you leave the last bite of something or consistently avoid a certain ration component he'll remember and make sure you stop getting it, or if he notices something you especially like he'll make sure you get it more often

Instinctively shields your head in tight spaces, like when entering doorways or stepping into vehicles he puts a hand up to the doorframe to make sure you don't bump your head. does this even if you're short enough that this isn't an issue, it's almost completely subconscious on his part just cause he's used to bumping his head on things and doesn't want you to

Gives you the "best part" of whatever he has, like if he splits something in half to share with you he gives you the "better" half, or in bed makes sure you have the best pillow, stuff like that

Crosshair:

Whenever he hands you anything he opens/preps it first. like opens bottles before handing them to you, calibrates equipment to whatever your preference is, etc

Fidgets with your hand or sleeve a lot whenever you're sitting/standing close, or if you have long hair he'll idly kinda play with it

Has a specific little touch to communicate that he loves you instead of having to say it verbally, like the squeezing your hand 3 times thing

Echo:

Repeats things you say really quietly under his breath so that he remembers them, can be literally anything. like sometimes they're things that you're reminding him to do, sometimes compliments you give him that he wants to remember, sometimes just random things you say that he likes and wants to commit to memory

Hums really low under his breath when he's relaxed and doesn't even really realize he's doing it. you'll be cuddling and he'll just start humming really quietly and when you point it out he's like wha

Speaks to you more quietly/calmly than he speaks to anyone else, like will be speaking to other people in his usual gruff tone but then he has to say something to you and intentionally softens it just subtly

Rex:

Touches you in some way whenever he passes by you, even if it's quick/he's in a hurry or whatever he'll quickly brush his hand against your shoulder or lower back or give your arm a quick squeeze because it feels wrong to pass you without acknowledgment

Always gives you a little smile whenever you catch his eye, even if he's busy/in a conversation with someone else/not in a good mood the corner of his mouth quirks up without fail when he happens to make eye contact with you

Always makes sure you're settled before he relaxes, makes sure you're comfortable and don't need anything and THEN he can relax

Wolffe:

Always absently rubs your back when he hugs you

Adjusts your clothes and stuff randomly even if you don't really need him to, just grumbles and fixes your clothes as an excuse to touch you

Scrunches up his face when he's concentrating and it's really cute but if you say that he will literally be so fucking offended (and scrunches up his face even more)

Cody:

Does things like bringing a jacket for you places even when you insist you don't need one just in case

Hands you things PROPERLY every time, like tools or cups or whatever he'll hand you handle-first, and waits for a second to make sure you've got it before letting go

Squints his eyes whenever he reads anything even though his eyesight is perfectly fine

Fox:

Always positions things within your reach when you sit down, like moving a drink closer or turning something so it's easier to grab

Grumbles in his sleep whenever you shift away, doesn't fully wake up just starts grumbling and wont stop till you come close again

Halfway through the infiltration, you had leaned over a table to scan a data chip. Unfortunatley, the angle forces your skirt upward just a bit but also just enough.

You hear Hunter curse under his breath. Quiet, harsh and something reverent.

Before you can ask, he steps forward abruptly, planting himself between you and the rest of the club. His chest nearly brushes your back, and his hand subtly goes to your hip, steadying you.

“Hunter?” you breathe, startled by his sudden presence as you look over your shoulder at him.

“I can… see your panties.”

Heat floods your cheeks. You stand up straighter, skirt falling back into place, feeling a little flustered. “Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean—”

“No, no. Don’t apologise.” He clears his throat, voice tight. “I shouldn’t have been looking. I just… didn’t want anyone else to.”

Your heart thuds and this time, not from embarrassment. Instead from the way he says it; possessive without meaning to be.

You speak before thinking: “I don’t mind you looking.”

Hunter stills, pupils wide in the dark. “…You don’t?”

You shake your head, smiling softly as if to ease him. “I trust you. You’re not gonna make it weird.”

He breathes out like you just knocked the wind out of him. His hand is still on your hip to which you’re both fully aware. Yet, neither of you mentions it.

Then, because you’re feeling bold and because his fluster is ridiculously attractive, you tilt your head and tease:

“So… be honest with me. Does black suit me?”

For the first time tonight, Hunter looks genuinely lost. His mouth opens. Closes. Opens again.

“Stars—” he mutters, voice dropping even lower. “…You’re gonna kill me.”

And he absolutely cannot stop imagining that glimpse of lace now.

Echo - 551 words

The Marauder was a mess. As always.

He mutters to himself as he digs around for the medkit, brushing aside tangled wires, ration wrappers, datapads, and whatever else the others have tossed around.

Then he spots it: a thin, white strap looped over the edge of your bunk curtain. “Finally,” he sighs, grabbing it.

He gives it a tug and it resists but after one more tug, it slides free and Echo freezes immediately.

Because what he’s holding is not a medkit strap. Not at all.

It’s your underwear.

White, delicate, very intricate and unlike anything he’s ever seen before.

Ribbons, straps, soft textured fabric, the kind that looks expensive and meant to sit high on the hips. The little garter-style attachments confuse him even more. He turns it in his hand, brow furrowing.

“What—? How does this even work?” he whispers.

He runs his thumb over the soft detailing. Not only does it look expensive, it feels expensive. Soft and pretty. Too pretty.

His cheeks heat. You wear things like this?

He can’t help imagining— No. Stop. Maker, stop.

He’s still staring down at it, eyes wide and body going hot, when a soft throat-clear cuts through the room.

Echo’s head whips up.

You’re standing there. You look from the underwear in his hand …back up to his face.

Your expression? Amused. Curious. A little blushy with embarrassment. But very much not upset.

Echo, however, looks like he’s about to overheat.

“I— I— stars— I’m sorry, I thought it was part of the medkit and I grabbed it and—” He still hasn’t let go.

You step closer slowly. Your eyes are bright with barely hidden laughter.

“Echo,” you say gently, “it’s alright.”

“I shouldn’t be holding this,” he stammers. “I didn’t mean to see anything.”

“But I don’t mind you seeing,” you say with a small laugh, tilting your head at him in a sweet, almost innocent way that makes his stomach burn. “I shouldn’t have left them out.”

His eyes widen slightly. “You don’t mind?”

“Not at all,” you say warmly.

Echo glances down again at the complex tangle of straps and lace in his hand.

“Why do you have a pair like this?” he blurts, instantly regretting it. “I— I mean— not that you can’t— I just… it’s very… elaborate.”

You smile, a little shy, and reach out to gently take the lingerie from his hand. “Sometimes,” you murmur, “I like to feel sexy. Even if no one else sees.”

Echo goes absolutely still.

“And,” you add with a teasing lift of your brow, “you never know. I could get lucky one day.”

The words hit him like a blaster bolt. His mouth opens. No sound comes out.

You bring the lingerie up between you both, letting the white straps cascade over your fingers.

“You attach this part to stockings,” you explain sweetly, “and this lace sits high on the waist. It’s actually not as complicated as it looks.”

The only thing he could do was stare at this point.

“Echo,” you say softly, “if you want… I can show you.”

His breath catches. “…Show me?” he repeats, voice low and shaky.

You step even closer, close enough that your breath brushes his cheek. “Uh-huh. Only if you want to,” you whisper.

And he definitely, unmistakably wants to.

Wrecker - 422 words

The training room hums with the low echo of footsteps and equipment, bright lights reflecting off Kamino's silver floors. You’re on your mat with Wrecker, doing stretches before sparring. Your workout gear is snug and overly flattering.

Wrecker lifts one of the heaviest bars like it weighs nothing, curling it while watching you from the corner of his eye. After all, he finds it’s impossible not to watch you. You stretch forward, bending deep into a hamstring stretch, and—

There they are.

A flash of hot pink poking above your workout pants. Bright, bold (especially for just going to the gym) and Completely unexpected.

Wrecker’s grip falters. “Woah,” he blurts under his breath, eyes going wide.

Then he drops the entire heavy bar with a thunderous metallic CLANG.

You jerk upright, startled. “Wrecker?!” you rush toward him. “Are you okay?”

He’s standing stiffly, hands half raised like he’s been caught doing something he shouldn’t. His cheeks are on fire. “Yeah, uh… I’m fine!” he sputters. “Just… dropped it.”

But even as he tries to play it cool, his gaze flicks down again. He can’t help it. The hot pink waistband is still poking out at him like it’s screaming for attention.

You follow his eyes and then you realise. “Oh,” you breathe out, a little laugh bubbling from your lips to hide your embarrassment. You tug the waistband of your workout pants up to fix it. “Oops. Guess they slipped.”

He rubs the back of his neck with his hand.“Uh… yeah. I didn’t mean to look,” he says honestly. “It just… sorta happened.”

You smile softly, stepping closer, gentle reassurance in your touch as you brush his arm.

“It’s okay, Wrecker,” you say warmly. “Really. I don’t mind you looking.”

“...Really?” he asks, voice cracking adorably.

You nod. “Really.”

He wipes his brow dramatically, like he’s about to faint from relief.

“Kriff, sweetheart,” he huffs out, giving a breathless laugh, “you nearly made me pass out.”

You tilt your head. “Because of my panties?” You ask innocently, hips swaying a little.

“Because of you,” he says without hesitation, grin going crooked and a little bold. “Pink looks real good on you. ’Specially when it’s peekin’ out like that.”

His eyes flick down once more, this time on purpose, and he bites his lip in a way that tells you he’s absolutely imagining it again. “And, uh…” he adds, lowering his voice as he steps a little closer, “If you ever wanna… stretch like that again, maybe warn me first. Or don’t.”

Tech - 635 words

You smooth your dress one last time. A black, floaty, knee-length, dress that sways beautifully when you move. It was enough to give you confidence for your date.

You’re halfway down the ramp when Tech’s voice echoes from somewhere inside the cockpit, calling your name.

“Do you have a moment to lend a hand?”

You hesitate about keeping your date waiting but it was Tech and you enjoyed his company even if it’s for a minute or two.

“Of course. What do you need?”

He’s on his back beneath the flight console, only his boots and the legs visible. “There is a circuit panel that requires manual activation. I need you to flip the second and fourth switches while I observe the internal response.”

“Easy,” you say, stepping into the cockpit.

You move to the controls, leaning slightly forward to reach the panel and followed his instructions. Just out of reach of a spanner, he slides further out from underneath to grab it but then, he looks up.

And immediately goes still.

Because from his position underneath you… he gets a perfect, accidental view directly beneath your dress.

Your legs are right there and so were your panties. a lacy, elegant, emerald shade of green are revealed.

Tech inhales sharply and wrenches his gaze away instantly, cheeks flaming, eyes squeezing shut like that’ll erase the image. (It doesn’t)

“Tech? Is that working?” you call out cheerfully unaware.

His voice comes out strangled. “Yes, yes, that is— ah— that is sufficient, actually—”

Then he jerks too fast and cracks his head on the panel.

“Tech?!”

He slides out from beneath the console, rubbing his head and trying to pretend he’s not so burning so hot he’s practically overheating the ship.

“I am fine. Perfectly fine. Thank you for your assistance.” He says as he stands up.

You smile warmly. “Anytime. Now, I should go—”

And that’s when something curls hot and unwelcome in Tech’s chest.

A strange, sharp emotion he doesn’t like acknowledging:

Jealousy.

Because someone else, someone who isn’t him, gets to see you this way.

It bursts out before he can stop it. “Emerald suits you.”

You stop mid-step. “Huh?”

Tech blinks at you, realises what he said, panics internally, and tries to clarify which naturally makes everything worse.

“I mean your undergarments— your panties—”

He winces as your eyes widen at his words.

“I saw them while you were adjusting the switches. I apologise. The angle was… unfortunate.”

You stare at him, face hot as your hands fly up to cover your cheeks.

“Oh shit… Tech—”

He immediately shakes his head, hands raised.

“There is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. I should not have been looking in that direction. The fault lies entirely with the geometry of my position.”

“Tech,” you say through your hands, half mortified, half laughing, “it was an accident.”

“Yes,” he agrees quickly. “Entirely unintentional. Though - aesthetically speaking - emerald is a highly flattering colour on you.”

You drop your hands and blink at him. He’s serious.

Your eyes drop shyly for a second, then lift again with soft boldness. “…I don’t think I would have minded if you saw a little more.”

Tech malfunctions. Visibly. His mouth opens but no sound comes out.

You step toward him and lean in just slightly, voice warm and teasing:

“You know, if you’d worked up the nerve to ask me out yourself… today’s view could’ve been intentional.”

He swallows so hard it felt like swallowing a marble. “Intentional,” he repeats in a whisper, like the concept itself is short-circuiting him.

“Ask me when I get back,” you murmur. “My date might not be a good one, after all)

And then you walk out of the cockpit, leaving Tech standing there.

He’s frozen in place and absolutely determined that he will ask you the moment you return.

Crosshair - 496 words

Your house on Pabu is quiet, warm, filled with the sound of ocean wind through the open balcony doors. You’re in your bedroom trying on new underwear. Teal lace, a little racy, matching bra, the kind of set you bought “just because.”

You’re adjusting the straps, turning to the side in the mirror, when the door suddenly swings open.

Crosshair steps in and stops dead.

You freeze too, body burning under his stare.

He blinks once, jaw tightening just a fraction.

“You could’ve locked the damn door.” he snaps, voice sharp as a knife.

Automatically, you throw your arms over yourself, scrambling for your clothes.

“Crosshair! Knock! What are you—”

He pinches the bridge of his nose, exhaling through his teeth. “I was looking for you. Didn’t know you’d be… putting on a fashion show.”

You yank on a shirt and shorts as fast as you can, pulse hammering. “You could’ve knocked,” you fire back, pushing past him toward the hall.

He’s leaning against the wall now, arms folded, jaw tight.

But something’s off.

He won’t look at you.

You stop, chest still tight with embarrassment. “…Crosshair?”

He doesn’t answer, making you sigh quietly.

“Look, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled. You just startled me.”

His fingers toy with the toothpick behind his ear, but his voice is steady, low.

“Don’t apologise.”

You step out onto your balcony, trying to cool off. The breeze hits your skin, calming you. You rest your elbows on the railing, staring at the ocean.

You hear Crosshair shift behind you.

You glance back and catch his eyes very blatantly, unmistakably, glued to your rear.

You raise a brow. “Really?”

He curses under his breath, jams the toothpick between his lips, and finally meets your eyes.

“Not… my intention,” he mutters.

“You sure?” you tease, heat rising to your cheeks.

He narrows his eyes, irritated at being caught but the flush on his neck betrays him.

“I’m not embarrassed,” he says coolly.

“Oh?” You fold your arms. “Then what was that little freak-out about?”

He exhales slowly, gaze dragging over your face with a rawness you rarely see from him.

“I just…” A pause, a muscle ticking in his jaw. “…would’ve preferred seeing you like that with your permission.”

Crosshair stares at you, expression unreadable, but his pupils blown just a little.

Something bold rises up in you: heat, bravery, curiosity.

“Well,” you murmur, pushing off the balcony railing and taking slow steps toward your bedroom door.

“…maybe I give my permission now.”

You almost chokes on his toothpick, his brows lifting in surprise

Your hand touches the doorframe and you hold his gaze. He watches you like a man trying very hard not to lunge.

“…You’re inviting me to look?” he asks, voice low and disbelieving.

You smile daringly. “If you want to.”

The toothpick nearly slips from his mouth.

You turn and walk back inside your room.

And behind you, you hear the soft, controlled footsteps of Crosshair following.

It was a slow night at 79’s; you wouldn’t have had it any other way. A clone bar was pretty far from your typical scene, but it was the only bar on Coruscant that you knew had decent drinks.

It wasn’t really the “scene” of your… friends, if they could be called that, either. They were clones, yes, but not normal ones. 

To most? Ten times more prickly, with an air of superiority about them that made them intolerable to other clones. But to you? There weren’t a set of clones in the galaxy you’d rather be spending an evening with.

They’d just gotten back from a mission, and considering it was rare that you were all on the same planet at once… you’d taken the opportunity to invite them out. Well, it was actually Wrecker who invited you here, but you’d mentioned wanting to get together.

You were laughing off your second drink now, losing it over another stupid joke Hunter made. Or, more specifically, at the way Crosshair glared at him for saying it.

“You guys up for round three?” You quirked an eyebrow at the table. 

“That even a question?” Wrecker grinned, already standing up. But you held a hand up, insisting on getting everyone’s drinks. They seemed reluctant to watch you go alone, but… the bar was mostly empty at this hour. 

They shared a look: what could go wrong? 

And so you left the booth, taking a seat at the bar and listing off their orders, plus your own, like second nature. 

The bartending droid got to work, and you relaxed a bit against the bar, a light smile curving your lips. 

“Well, aren’t you a pretty thing.”

You turned your head. There was a clone a couple seats away from you at the bar, nursing a half-empty drink you doubted was his first. Your smile faltered for a second before transforming into a more polite one. You nodded respectfully, trying to make it obvious you weren’t interested in conversation.

He didn’t take the hint. He stood up from his seat, abandoning his drink to lean against the bar right next to you.

“Ah… enjoying your night, soldier?” you tried, laughing awkwardly.

His face twisted in consideration as he shrugged. “Eh. Little quiet. Little boring.” Then his gaze flicked to you, and he grinned. “Until now. Haven’t seen you around here before.”

“Oh, yeah, uh… not my typical joint.”

“Figured. You look like you should be somewhere much nicer, little lady.”

Was that supposed to be a compliment? You just laughed again, shifting in your seat. The bartending droid was done with three of the six drinks you needed.

“You here all alone?” 

“No, I’m here with friends.” An apologetic smile accompanied your response. You were hoping that would be enough to get him away. “They’re just sitting at a booth over there.”

He didn’t look. “Well, you’re alone right now.” 

Another uncomfortable laugh left you, and you looked at the droid almost desperately. Work faster, you goddamn—

“I’ll keep you company, if you don’t mind…” His hand slid across the bar towards your crossed arms resting on the counter, and you quickly sat up straight, intertwining your fingers tightly in your lap.

“No, that’s okay. I’ll probably be… you know. Walking away in a second.” Take the hint, dude. 

“Oh, but your friends can wait a few minutes, can’t they? I don’t think I’m ready to watch a pretty girl like you get away so soon.” He smiled, chuckling softly. 

You just narrowed your eyes, no longer smiling as you desperately stared at the drinks on the platter. Five drinks. Just one more…

Your head was jerked back to look at the clone when he grabbed your chin, laughing at your startled expression. “You’ve got gorgeous eyes. Very expressive.”

“Excuse me,” a (thankfully) familiar voice chirped on your other side. “Can you make that Fire Dancer a double shot?” He’d been addressing the droid, but from his sharp tone… he was probably taking a jab at the clone, too.

The clone’s grip on your chin loosened just enough for you to turn your head. Tech was drumming his fingers on the bar on your other side, looking directly at the clone out of the corner of his eye.

“I don’t think she’s interested,” he deadpanned, expression unreadable.

The clone’s face twitched. “Hey… you’re one of those bad batchers,” he sneered. “Why don’t you go back to whatever corner you’re hiding in, and stop trying to act like you know everything?”

“I’ve got a better idea for you.” A sharp voice, low and gravelly, sliced the air. You turned again to see Crosshair standing behind the clone, one arm braced on the bar to box him between you and Crosshair.

“Get it through your head that she’s. Not. Interested,” he drawled, narrowing his eyes in that glare that was eerily similar to his sniping abilities—precise, intentional, and deadly.

Tech was leaning over your shoulder, trying to read a serial number printed on the clone’s armor. “CT-3889,” he read. “I’ll remember that.”

“What, are you gonna report me?” The clone snorted.

“Report? Oh, no. I can think of things that are worse than reporting. And easier, too.” He nodded, accepting his drink from the bartending droid. 

“... You’re bluffing,” the clone narrowed his eyes, glancing once at Crosshair behind him.

“You wanna find out?” Crosshair practically hissed.

The droid set a platter on the bar with the other five drinks you needed, and just as soon as it hit the surface, CT-3889 was up and gone, grumbling curses under his breath.

“... I don’t like that guy.” Crosshair narrowed his eyes, never letting his gaze leave the trooper once until he was out of the establishment. Then he looked at you, examining your face closely. “He touched you.” 

You blinked. Watching them scare that guy off… you almost forgot that you were a part of this whole ordeal. “Oh. Uh…”

“Is he finally gone?” Echo drawled, eyeing the door carefully as he stepped closer. Hunter and Wrecker were behind him.

“If I ever see that guy on Kamino…” Wrecker snarled, cracking his knuckles irritably, “I’m gonna—”

“You’re not gonna do anything,” Hunter warned him. Then he looked at you. “Are you alright?”

“I was going to ask that,” Tech interjected quietly, taking a sip of his drink.

“You guys. I’m fine,” you almost had to laugh. Almost. “He was just…” you gestured vaguely. You didn’t want to say anything nice, but saying something mean would make it seem like you weren’t fine. Which, to be fair, you sort of weren’t. 

“Insufferable,” Crosshair grumbled, picking up his own drink to throw it back.

“Ugly,” Wrecker added, then guffawed. That got you to laugh, too.

“Bothering you.” Tech said finally, and you nodded. He hummed. “Well then. I’m glad I intervened.”

“We shouldn’t have let you go off on your own,” Hunter said, almost apologetically. 

“Yeah, regs can be…” Echo made a face, gesturing to the door. “... Like that.”

“And you guys are so much better,” you teased, putting your hands on your hips. “You probably scared that guy all the way back to his incubation chamber.”

Crosshair snorted. “Good.” After a slow sip of his drink, he just shook his head, almost imperceptibly. “I’d never stoop that low.”

“Wouldn’t you, now?” You raised an eyebrow, smirking. 

Crosshair matched your grin. “Why would I harass some lady at a bar when I’ve already got you?”

Wrecker burst out laughing; a contagious sound. Soon you were all chuckling into your drinks again, but in those silent breaths between more jokes and stories…

You let yourself feel a little lighter. From what Crosshair said (and from how the boys were still eyeing the other bargoers suspiciously)... you had a feeling you wouldn’t have to worry about “suitors” like that again for a long time.
