Request - @narcissa-of-kaas - Hey there! Could you please do something with Tech for #39 from your prompt list ?💜
Prompt - “I had a nightmare about you and I just wanted to make sure you were okay.” (Set post season 2, pre season 3)
You couldn’t even say how much time had passed since that Force forsaken day. It had been months at best and yet somehow it felt more like years. You had never been able to adjust to a life without Tech, how could you? It was impossible to believe that there had ever been a time where you hadn’t had Tech in your life, hadn’t had him ready at your side rattling facts of, filling silences with knowledge or just sitting together as he tinkered away. Whenever you needed somebody, it was always Tech you turned to.
Then all of a sudden Tech was gone.
You still remembered the day, still remembered watching him fall from the cart, still remembered the heart wrenching scream that escaped you as you could do nothing but watch, only Hunter kept you where you were, stopping you from following after Tech, dragging you against his chest and forcing you to stay on the cart as it sped away from Tech.
You had no memory of leaving, everything since then had passed in a blur and you were certain it was only thanks to Hunter you had managed to make it back to safety.
A day hadn’t passed where you let yourself believe Tech was dead. You couldn’t ever let yourself believe that, the second you did you knew you’d be done. You had to force yourself to keep that small spark of hope that seemed to dim as each day went by.
You spent your days sat on the comm, pleading for hours for Tech to answer you, pleading with him to come back home, to come back to you. Hunter and Wrecker watched on with aching hearts as you refused to be moved, refused to let yourself accept reality.
The loss of Tech was only worsened by the loss of Omega, then Echo left to go help Rex, unable to stand being on the Marauder. You didn’t blame him, some days being on the ship drove you crazy, there were too many memories, too many constant reminders of those that should have been here but weren’t. Some days you couldn’t drag yourself out of bed, the smell of Tech on the sheets lessened with each day he was gone but you had to believe he’d be back one day.
Months had passed since that day and you were startled all of a sudden when the comm came to life, a distress signal that was used by the Batch could be heard. Hunter watched your face fill with relief, with hope. It broke his heart but still it was a code they used, they had to check it out.
You were relieved beyond words to see that Omega and Crosshair were safe and alive and yet you were disappointed. You hated to even admit it to yourself, hated the fact that when you saw the pair your heart dropped because it wasn’t Tech.
It was meant to be Tech.
Nobody blamed you for withdrawing after that, they knew you wanted Tech back. You had felt the spark of hope you had fizzle out, desperately wanting to stay alight but you didn’t know how to keep believing, didn’t know how to carry on without Tech.
It seemed that even though things had gotten better, two members of the Batch were back where they belonged, it was never right. There was constantly an empty space in every room of the Marauder, a silence after somebody said something where you still waited for Tech to talk, there were no longer random projects left out for you to fall over, it wasn’t home without Tech.
You still sat at the comm but your heart was empty as you spoke, you would give anything for a reply.
Then one day it came.
A strange message that consisted of nothing more than a set of coordinates and a cryptic message of ‘pl45’. Suddenly that spark of hope that had gone out weeks ago was back with a mighty flame, pushing out all the darkness and you just knew, it had to be him.
“Hunter!” You called, looking at the coordinates and the message, Plan 45, it was definitely a code the Batch used.
Hunter frowned as he looked at the message, Plan 45 meant mission gone wrong. It was their code, a random one to use but still their code. He wasn’t sure about it, one look at your face and he knew you had gotten your hopes up, he hated that you were going to be left more broken than before, he wasn’t sure you’d recover from this one.
“Y/N,” Hunter sighed softly but you were already shaking your head at him, standing from your seat and pushing past him into the cockpit. “Hey, I want it to be him too!”
“Then let’s go!” You snapped at Hunter, immediately feeling bad. You knew that whilst you hadn’t been coping well with the loss of Tech, without Hunter you probably would have completely lost it months ago. He truly had been your saving grace. “I’m sorry, it’s just…it’s Tech, I know it is.”
Hunter looked at you, his face contorted with sympathy but eventually he nodded, taking a seat in the cockpit as you typed in the coordinates. He didn’t say anything but that was just what you needed, to have Hunter by your side as you went to find Tech.
It had to be Tech.
It had to be.
It took two days to land on the planet the coordinates led to, a planet you didn’t know the name of and was so far off the map. You were sure Tech would have a fact or two about it if he were here.
You had sat on the comm, watching it, willing it to come alive with another message but nothing more came through.
The ship finally landed and you were the first off it, eyes scanning the forest around you, looking for any sign of Tech. The others followed you out of the Marauder, each of them looking around and seeing nothing, knowing it was going to be bad for you when you came to another dead end.
It was Hunter who heard him first, a crunch and snap of twigs under a boot alerted him and he let out a small gasp, feeling Crosshair and Wrecker look at him.
It took a few more moments but Tech appeared from the trees and you felt your legs nearly give out as you looked at him, unable to move.
“Y/N.” Tech breathed out and that was all you needed to force your feet forward, practically falling into his chest and Tech didn’t care how sore his body was he still wrapped his arms around you and held you close.
“You got my message.” He whispered into your hair and you laughed though the noise sounded more like a sob as silent tears made their way down your cheeks.
Tech felt his own eyes well up but he managed to keep the tears contained as he looked past you to his brothers, though a few tears did manage to trickle out as he saw Crosshair looking back at him.
Eventually you managed to pull away and Tech brought his hand to your cheek, brushing away your tears before he leant his forehead against yours.
“I knew you were alive.” You told him, your voice barely audible as you tried to hold back more tears. “I knew you were.”
Tech leaned forward, brushing his lips against yours and you couldn’t stop more tears from falling as you kissed him back, savouring the feeling after doubting if you would ever feel this again.
You never strayed far from Tech when the two of you eventually pulled away and he was embraced by his brothers, each of their eyes watery and a few of their cheeks wet where tears had fallen.
Eventually you all made your way back into the Marauder and Tech excused himself for a much needed sonic. You were reluctant to let him go but watched him leave, assuring yourself he was back.
“I told you.” You said softly as Hunter came to sit next to you. “I told you he was alive.”
Hunter pulled you against his chest, his arm going around your shoulder as he placed a soft kiss to your head.
“He’s alive.” Hunter murmured against your hair, still trying to wrap his mind around it himself.
By the time Tech had left the fresher Hunter had gotten the ship into hyperspace and everyone was sat together. Tech immediately made his way over to you, not wasting any time in pulling you close to him, your hand finding his as the others spoke softly, your thumb stroking over his knuckles in a constant reminder that he was there.
The six of you sat there for hours, Tech filled you in on what had happened since his fall, Omega had excitedly told Tech about her and Crosshair’s daring escape and the rest of the night was spent reliving old memories until you were all yawning.
None of you wanted to pull yourselves out of that moment but the need for sleep was too much and you forced yourselves up and into bed.
You were happy to go to bed though when Tech climbed in after you and pulled you close, the sound of his steady breathing was enough to lull you into an easy sleep, something that you hadn’t been able to do for months, your eyes falling closed feeling warm and overwhelmingly relieved.
It wasn’t until you gasped awake, shivering at the cold air that you knew something wasn’t right. You looked around and felt your heart sink as you realised you were on a cart, Storm Troopers shooting at you from across the way. It wasn’t until you saw Tech running across the rail line that you felt panic build up.
“No.” You whispered to yourself, Omega looking up at you in confusion. “No, he’s alive. I got him back.”
“Um, Hunter, something’s wrong with Y/N.” You heard Omega say but you didn’t pay attention to Hunter calling your name, instead keeping your eyes locked on Tech like your gaze alone could change everything.
“We’ve got three ships inbound.” Hunter said, dragging his gaze from you and back onto the fight.
You shook your head, how many times had you been forced to relive this day? How many times had you been forced to lose Tech? You thought you had him back, you had him back. Was that just a dream, a way to cope with him being gone?
Power came rushing back to the cart, snapping you back to reality and your eyes filled with tears as you watched Tech running back towards the cart, trying to outrun the blaster shots aimed at him.
You could only watch through blurry tear filled eyes as Tech fell from the rail line onto a falling cart, watching as he just about managed to secure himself with his grappling line but there was nowhere for him to go, the cart was falling faster than he could climb.
“Wrecker, get him on board.” Hunter commanded, though the command was filled with underlying worry.
You let out a choked sob, knowing that command wouldn’t be carried out.
“You must sever the connecting hinge. Now!” Tech instructed and you shook your head madly.
“Tech.” You managed to choke out. “Please.”
“Y/N,” You heard Tech sigh and your name falling from his lips had more sobs escaping you. “I’m sorry, my love.”
You watched as he pulled his blaster out and knew what was to come.
“Plan 99.” He said and you screamed as he fired his blaster, only able to watch as he fell, seconds away from blinding following after him only to have Hunter snatch you away from the edge, holding you tightly against his chest as you thrashed madly against him, unsure of what you could do if you managed to get out of his hold but the only thought in your mind was that you wanted Tech.
He couldn’t be dead.
You shot up with a gasp, silent tears falling down your face and sweat clinging to your body as you looked around, assuring yourself you were in the Marauder. Your heart hammered in your chest when you realised you were alone.
Had Tech ever been back?
You forced your body out of bed, of course he was back, he had to be.
Your feet silently carried you through the Marauder, only stopping when you got to the cockpit and you felt a sob escape you when you saw Tech in the pilot’s seat, looking out of the window as you flew through hyperspace.
The noise had Tech turning to face you with a worried look.
“What happened, my love?” The pet name had your mind flashing back to the last thing he said to you but you shook your head, wiping the tears away as best you could.
“I had a nightmare about you,” You told him, watching as his face softened and he made room for you on the chair. “And I just wanted to make sure you were okay.”
“I’m okay, dear.” He assured you as you sat in the chair, his arm wrapping around you as he held you close, guiding your head to his chest so you could feel his heart beat loud and clear. “I’m alive.”
The words were a reassurance to the both of you as you sat there holding each other in silence whilst you passed through hyperspace, Tech was here.
He was alive and he was going nowhere.

Here is the request! Hope everyone that reads enjoys!
I wanted to make it Tech x reader x Echo but it’s just tech! Might be a little ooc too
My requests are open!
Tech jolts upright, his entire body flutters with pain.
Your voice echoes in his mind, screaming for him.
He calls your name as his eyes begin to adjust to the dimly lit room. He's sure his brothers would have put you in the same room as him. However, as his hands begin to search the space beside him it is empty and cold.
"Tech" Omega's voice is soft and shaky, she tries to speak again but instead she lets out a wail and she blubbering and he can't quite make a single word she is saying.
"Where is Hunter, Omega?" He rubs at the sudden ache that is building in his head, that's not who he really wants but the only thing he can think is he must have told you to stay with the ship have it on stand by as they recover, after all you stayed with the ship.
The door swooshes open, in walks Hunter and Wrecker. Hunter holds something in his hands. Wrecker's head hangs low, a frown etched into his features. Tech feels a sudden darkness creeping up from his gut.
"Well, where are they?" He asks biting back the sudden shake in his voice "Waiting by the ship, angry with me I assume" He pushes himself up
"Tech" Hunter's brows knit together and what look to be tears forming in his eyes "They're gone"
Tech begins to shake his head, as he starts to make his way towards the door but Hunter stops him by putting his hand on his shoulder.
"I told them to wait by the ship" Tech doesn't like the shake in his tone "They agreed to wait there for me" He adds as he meets Hunters sad eyes before glancing at the other two "This is a joke? They here, in the bar?" He forces a laugh from his throat and begins to call for you and Hunter wraps his arms around his brother unsure of what to do.
_
Tech watches you pull on the armour he had made for you. He lets out a breath as he walks over to you, his hands rest on your shoulders. He rubs his thumbs in circular motions, trying to relive the knots forming.
"You should stay with the ship, we might need a quick getaway" Tech spins you around, his pleading eyes meet yours
"Tech.." you whisper, his hands move from your shoulders to your waist and he pulls you into him "Okay, but you have to come back to me" You grab his face, making him look at you and he nods as he press his forehead to yours.
_
Tech couldn't believe it, he's glaring at you but your smiling down at Omega. He looks to his brothers, asking for a moment before taking your shoulder and pulling a few steps away from the group.
"I told you to stay with the ship!"
"Where you go, I go"
Tech points a finger at you, before talking your hand and pulling you back to the group
"You don't leave my side" He orders and you nod "Never" You give his hand a squeeze.
_
It's time to be brave.
your hands grip the cable wondering if you'll be able to pull yourself up- the cable cart shifts- you clench your jaw as you look back up. Tech is climb his way up, Omega eyes never leaving his frame until he's inside with her.
"Can you pull yourself up?" Omega calls down and you frown as you shake your head.
"We will find a way" Tech calls down after you "We are not leaving without you" you smile, your lip trembling as you nod a soft "Okay" slipping past your lips
The sound of blasters cause you to look at the cable cart making it's way towards you and the others. You catch sight in the distance all the battle ships coming this way.
You close your eyes looking back up over at Tech. The gears in his turning as you can see him coming up with nothing. Your hand goes to the blaster on your hip.
It's time, there is no other option. You can see it on his face and you can feel it in your gut. The cart wont go unless you get rid of the one holding it back. You grip the handle of your blaster, pulling it from it place.
"No! Don't you dare" Tech growls out "We have time! We can figure this out"
"Tech we are out of time!" You say "It's the end of the line for me" You raise the blaster, shaky fingers hover over the trigger as the cart jolts making you grip the cable tighter and you raise the blaster once more and shoot.
This is just a short little something, I hope you like it though :)
The Bad Batch | Tech with a shy S/O
Tech isn't really the most outgoing person himself, so you might think it would take a while for the two of you to open up to each other and start something. But honestly you'd probably get along better for that reason
Chances are if you're more on the quiet side you'd only catch his attention more honestly
Like he'd want to get to know more about you. And if you're more on the quiet side? Then he can go on about things and you'll actually listen to him, which would make him so happy
But seriously he's so curious by nature and wants to know stuff. So when you caught his eye, of course he'd want to know more about you. And you being more shy/reserved would only serve as a challenge to him. You'd drive him crazy in the best way possible because he'd be thinking of you all the time, wanting to get to know you better
Would find your shyness so cute though, and honestly, you'd bring that side of him out more
He'd be so hellbent on impressing you and making a good impression at first that he'd clam up easily around you
And would easily go red at your slightest interactions :>
Especially as you started opening up to him. He would be the quiet one, suddenly going very tight lipped as he listened to anything you had to say carefully
And omg. If you were listening to him all careful and wide-eyed and curious? He would be going and when suddenly he'd be overly self aware as you stared and listened and would go so pink and would lose his train of thought
Anytime he got a laugh or smile out of you he'd have to hold back so much joy. You'd make his heart race so much
And if you were shy /because/ of him?? Like if he complimented you or got close or touched you in passing and you got visibly flustered and quiet?? He can't cope
Would find you so sweet overall and would be protective of you in his own way too
SUMMARY — tech is presented with research he cannot argue with
WARNINGS — gn!reader, fluff
REQUESTED BY — @starlit-epiphany
———
HE WAS VERY RESEARCH ORIENTED. you, were not. you allowed your mind to expand and see things in different ways; be creative. tech has his own ideas on what being creative meant. nevertheless, you two were still friends.
you were recruited on the marauder as a mechanic. someone to stay behind and make repairs while the bad batch was on a mission. as much as you enjoyed fighting against the empire, you couldn’t argue with the pay.
it was just the two of you on the ship. the others had gone out on a supply run while the two of you opted to stay behind. you were working below while tech was working above, but as you were making minor, yet necessary, repairs, you thought of something: has tech — or any of the batch — experienced any kind of physical affection? you didn’t know how or why this thought came across your mind, but you were grateful for it.
so, you decided to conduct your own research.
seeing you sat down with a datapad intrigued tech. he’s never seen you with one for an extended period of time. he thought it to be odd.
“what are you doing?” he asked, rather bluntly.
“i’m reading,” you stated as-a-matter-of-factly. you didn’t lift your eyes from your research.
“reading what?” his curiosity was getting the best of him.
“a study,” you started, and based on the confused answer surprised look on tech’s face, you continued, “i was curious as to the amount of physical affection the clones got, if any,” you continued.
“we didn’t get any,” he was getting nervous. he didn’t know why. well, he partially did. he knew why his stomach would twist into knots every time he saw you. it was obvious; he liked you. but he didn’t know how to go about admitting it, if that sort of thing was to be admitted. what he didn’t understand was that he craved your touch. after you grabbed ahold of his forearm during a thunderstorm, his mind has never let that go.
“obviously,” you chuckled, “so i wanted to fix that. this study shows that a grand total of eight hugs a day will aid in improving mental health,” you finished with a proud grin. he blinked several times, not knowing what to say at first.
“wait-eight?!” for the first time, you heard tech startled. you considered that a win.
“yeah. eight.” you confirmed. tech felt a million emotions at once, something he was definitely not wired to process. on one hand, he couldn’t argue with research. on another, that meant you’d be more physically affectionate towards him. his stomach twisted with nerves at the thought.
you knew you stumped him. so, before he could argue, you placed your datapad on the table before standing up.
“that settles it then. you are in for more hugs.” you crossed your arms and left the marauder to help the others bring in their supplies.
—
over the next few days, you made sure every now and then to show tech what being physically affectionate meant. you would often hug him from behind as he sat in the pilot’s chair, but that was whenever the others were off doing something else. hugs were a common thing, and the more you did them, the more he melted into them. he started to settle into the idea of being affectionate, even if it was odd for him at first.
one morning, the others still asleep, you and tech sat up front, awake. silence was between you, but it was comfortable. you sat there, one leg up and one leg down, admiring the sun breaching the horizon in front of them. your trance was broken by the softness of a hand running down your forearm, finding their place in your hand, fingers entangled together. your skin shivered from the touch, but you were caught by surprise; tech has never initiated a touch like this before.
“is this alright?” he asked softly, careful not to wake the others. you nodded your head, finding yourself at a loss for words. your stomach was warm with the flapping of butterfly wings, but you remained visibly collected.
“of course it is,” you whispered, giving his hand a squeeze. another moment of silence fell over you.
“y/n…can i, speak to you about something?” he asked hesitantly. he had to tell you how he felt, no matter how badly the nerves in his stomach churned.
“yeah,” you nodded, angling your body to face his.
“i’m not sure…how to say this but,” he starts. he has no idea how to put his thoughts into words, “based on my observations and what i’ve been seeing, i like you,” he told you. you did not expect him to admit feelings for you in such a blunt fashion. you appreciated it though; there was no need to try and figure out what he was saying.
“really?” you asked him with a smile, your cheeks flushing to be a dark red color.
“yes. i do not understand the feelings behind it, but i think it means i like you,” he confirmed slowly.
“well, if it’s any consolation, i like you too,” you chuckled and turned to face him completely. you could tell tech wanted to say more, to explain himself, so you stayed silent, allowing him to process.
“i get…nervous. i do not normally get nervous like i have been around you. whenever you’ve hugged me, or we’ve touched, i can’t explain what i’m feeling,” he was frustrated. he wanted you to understand what exactly he was feeling, but he didn’t know how.
“like electricity,”
“well of course it’s not electricity,”
“metaphorically speaking,” you chuckled, keeping your hand in his, “like a shiver,” you added. he slowly nodded his head.
“but i’m not cold,”
“i get the same feeling whenever i’m around you or whenever we touch. i’m never cold when i shiver around you, i’m, in fact, warm,”
“that does not make sense,”
“i don’t think feelings usually do,” you agreed. tech smiled, a genuine smile that you’ve only seen maybe once. he appreciated you in trying to help him understand, but it was comforting to know that you also didn’t understand feelings.
“we just have to go with the flow,” you added.
“i hate doing that,” he grumbled jokingly. it would definitely be an adjustment, but he figured he could learn to ‘go with the flow’ like he learned how to be affectionate.
———
ok so as i wrote this i just felt myself fall absolutely in love with tech so thank you @starlit-epiphany ! anyways, i hope you enjoyed and this is what you wanted! remember to stay safe and healthy! you’re loved! my messages are always open if you ever need someone <3
Tech - He listens more than anything he’s a listener. He picks up one what you say needs to happen and does it. He especially loves listening to your child even when they’re babbling nonsense as a baby. Once the child has hobbies and interests he learns everything he can and even tries to participate in them. Your kid likes soccer? He is putting up the net as we speak. They have a favorite animal? He’s researching the safest ways to go see the animal in person.
Hunter - He really thinks he’s the cool dad the one all the other kids are jealous of but he’s a worrier. He reads every parenting book 6 times and asks for advice from anyone that will give it. He’s a bit too focused on getting things right so you have to pull him back into the moment. When you pull him back in the moment though he’s so caring and gentle.
Wrecker - Whenever you take him to family functions all the kids his own and his nieces/nephews are hanging off him. He has fun games that he’s made up with the kids that no one else understands. It may mean you guys are the go to babysitters for the whole neighborhood but you both love kids so much you wouldn’t have it any other way.
Crosshair - His gentle side shows when it comes to his children. He may seem tough and scary to others but the second his child wants something he softens. You can even catch a smile when he hears his little one call out for buir. You will have to help him cool it down because no he really shouldn’t get that heated over another child bullying yours. Yes it’s bad but you can’t threaten the fathers life for raising a bully.
Echo - Has always wanted to be a father but after what happened to him he’s so hesitant. He’s nervous the entire pregnancy and even the first few weeks. Once he is comfortable though he realizes that this is exactly what he’d wanted. He retires from his work and stays home with your kids. This man does it all cooks, cleans, braids hair, etcs. (Bonus Points if you have a son he can name after Fives)

Do you write for Tech? If you do, do you have any cute headcanons for him?
I do and this is my first request for him so I'm excited :') I have a lot of ideas for the bad batch, so there are definitely more if anyone wants them! I decided to do this though for now, I just love this idea for him and idk hope you like it!
Star Wars (The Bad Batch) | Tech having a crush on you would include
Tech would think himself mostly immune to all the typical embarrassments of liking someone. He's so clever and well read, after all. Surely he has the knowledge to have confidence and not be super awkward around you?
Except he doesn't. In fact, of all the batch, he'd be the clumsiest/most awkward around whoever he was interested in for sure
He'd either get interested in you right away, almost forgetting to introduce himself properly. His brothers would all exchange knowing glances as they watched him scramble to find the right words, his ears going all pink
Or he'd have no idea why you made him such a nervous wreck. You get too close while helping him do repairs or something? Suddenly his heart is racing and his face is hot and he's seriously concerned something is wrong with him
(Searches his symptoms on his datapad)
(Still clueless)
Yet despite the almost unpleasant feeling of his heart racing and stomach knotting up around you, he'd find himself seeking you out any chance he got
No matter how clueless you are you'd still be able to tell he had feelings for you pretty quickly. The tiniest physical contact would make his cheeks flush pink. He'd both go out of his way to impress you with his expansive knowledge and would go surprisingly quiet around you, listening to you tell him about your interests
Anytime you speak he'd go silent and would look at you with slightly widened, focused eyes that would make your heart race
Researches all the things you're interested in. Half because he'd be genuinely interested, and half to have an excuse to talk to you
If you listened to him go on about things and didn't interrupt/seemed really interested, he'd get so enthusiastic — that is, until he'd realize how intently you listened, slowly trailing off and losing his train of thought
And if you reassured him that you really wanted to hear him go on, he'd light up so much
Your compliments and attention would make his mind spin. He'd clumsily thank you and would mull over your words for ages, smiling to himself the rest of the day
You could just state the obvious and be like you're so smart Tech?? And he'd turn so red
Lots of blushing in general simply put
And staring at you absent-mindedly, quickly looking away when you notice, or trying to play it off
Physical contact from you, no matter how brief, would instantly make him stiffen up and purse his lips as he watched you, pondering over the feeling your touches left
Even if you stood arm to arm or brushed by him on accident, his shoulders would go all stiff and he'd raise his eyebrows and try to ignore how much of an effect you had on him
Really sweet in his own way. Like very gentlemanly and thoughtful. Mostly because you'd be on his mind most of the time anyway
He'd go on about you a lot to the others without even noticing. Eventually they'd get impatient with him and would encourage him to ask you out or admit his feelings to you
Kinda insecure. Even if you showed an interest in him and he tried to rationalize everything, even if his brothers told him it was obvious you liked him, he'd still doubt it. Like yes, there is a good probability that you do feel the same based on your behavior, but what if you didn't?
Completely loses his composure around you even at the thought of it, as if you'd somehow figure it out without him saying anything
Or he'd accidentally blurt it out and you'd reject him
Overthinks every possible outcome, worried that he'd ruin things or make it weird between you
When he did finally muster up the courage to admit it to you it would be so clumsy. His usual eloquent/well put way of speaking would completely falter. He'd stumble on his words, making your smile slowly grow wider and wider as you realized what he was saying. He'd be so sincere, looking at you desperately as if hoping you'd understand and help him out
If you beat him to it he'd be so grateful, pleasantly surprised at your words. He'd smile more with your every word, shocked at how relieved he was to receive your affection. Would give you the sweetest look, hanging onto your every word
Do you have headcanons on how Tech would deal with an overly affectionate s/o? Would he enjoy the attention or hate it?
This is pretty brief, trying to get around to some shorter requests and such to get back into writing :) I hope you like it!
Star Wars | How Tech would react to his S/O being heavily affectionate
Tech wouldn't know how to deal with this at first. Not to say he'd complain, but he'd definitely be an embarrassed mess anytime you gave him that sort of attention
Especially around the others. His cheeks and ears would go so red and he'd lose his train of thought. Normally he has no problem finding something to say but if you were being affectionate in any way, his words would trail off as his lips would press together nervously
(This would all result in a lot of teasing from his brothers, who would find your affection toward him/his awkward reactions endearing, despite saying otherwise)
He would definitely like your affection though. Especially when you were alone
Tenses up beneath all your touches. Despite the redness of his cheeks, his lips would involuntarily curl into a shy smile. Would almost melt into you
He'd love little, familiar things like holding his hands or just standing with your hand on his arm/shoulder and things like that. It would make him feel secure and comfortable, and sooner than later, he'd do it out of habit himself
Would never 100% get used to more blatant affection though. Try as he might, he'd always go red and a little speechless
Verbal affection would have just the same effect. You'd listen to him go on about things or compliment him and he'd get so flustered, so smitten with you for actually taking an interest and wanting to hear what he had to say
He might teasingly complain every now and then if you were especially affectionate (especially if it was around the others) but admittedly he'd adore it. And if you were actually deterred by his complaining he'd take it back so quickly lol
You'd just make him feel so special and loved with all your little sweet words and touches. Anytime you weren't around he'd think of them and miss the feeling of your skin against his, and the way his name sounded coming from you
If you were affectionate in a more caring/attentive way toward him he wouldn't even know what to do with it. Like looking after him and encouraging/complimenting him would just leave him with a pleasantly surprised expression, smiling gratefully toward you each time
He would secretly crave affection and sweetness a lot so having a partner who gave it to him willingly without him having to seek it out would make him feel really comfortable/reassured, and he'd appreciate it so much
Hope everyone that reads enjoys! I really like this one :) my requests are open and feedback is welcome :)
“I’m sorry, what?” Tech’s brows knit together as he eyes the reg. Did he just dare him to kiss you? He looks over to you where you sit. Your eyes are wide as you fiddle with the rag you were using to wipe the oil and grime from your hands.
“You said dare and I’m daring you to kiss y/n” The reg smirks as you glare at him
Tech originally had come over to ask if you could assist him with fixing something on the Marauder. He didn’t mean to get caught up in the game that seemed innocent enough until now. Well, a kiss is innocent but to kiss you? He’s thought about it but he would never act on it. He just didn’t want to start something with you when he knows that with the war you and him are busy. Not to mention that he is away a lot the distance would put a strain on the relationship.
“Blu, that’s not- ” You start but stop as Blu glares over at you
“What’s the matter? Are you scared?” Blu taunts as he looks from you over to Tech
Tech scowls at Blu before glancing back over at you. He can’t get a read on what you want, you're angled away from him as where before the dare had been spoken you were facing him. He can chalk that up as to when he walked into the room he had called your name but not stating the purpose as to why he wanted you. He searches your eyes and there is an emotion behind them and he can’t quite pinpoint what it is because you look away from him far too quickly.
A low rumble fills the room before the room erupts in ‘Kiss her’ and his cheeks heat up. He half expects to hear Hunter tell the room to cut it out. He looks over at him and sees the haziness in his eyes he knows that is not likely to happen. He grips the data pad in his hands before standing, he points a finger at Blu wanting to tear into him for not taking your feelings into account.
“Just kiss me” Your shaky voice catches him off guard and he looks over at you as he lowers his hand. He finally sees the longing in your eyes and he fights the urge to walk right up to you and do as you ask
“What?” He questions, his eyes softening
“Just kiss me, Tech” You plead and his legs turn to jelly as butterflies erupt in his stomach “They’re not going to stop” you add and Tech slowly starts to shake his head because he can't bring himself to cross the small space between you two
“I’m not kissing you” Tech catches the hurt that flashes across your face and just as he is about to tell you why he's interrupted
“That should confirm it then” Blu looks over at you “He doesn’t have feelings for you” he snickers
The silence in the room causes everyone to shift awkwardly. That’s not what Tech meant by that at all and he looks to you. Your eyes are on Blu, your hands clenched tightly. Before anyone even has time to react, you're throwing a punch.
Blu falls onto his back, his hand clenching his nose. Hunter seems to have been snapped back to reality as he rushes to stand in front of you, his hand inches from Blu's chest. Wrecker comes up behind the two as Crosshair stands. Each one ready to defend you from the few regs in the room.
“Go cool off” Hunter growls out as your shaking your hand to try and rid the pain “Let me take a look at that” Hunter turns to you, taking you hand in his
“Talk to her, clearly she has feelings for you and you just broke her heart” Crosshair put his hand on Tech’s shoulder “or don’t doesn’t matter to me”
Tech watches Crosshair leave the room. He looks over to where you stand with Hunter. Your hand is still in his as you rub at the few tears that escaped your eyes with your sleeve. He put his data pad in one of his many pouches before walking over. He puts his hand on Hunter’s shoulder and Hunter turns to him and nods, understanding right away.
Tech doesn’t know where to start. What Blu had said confirmed that you do in fact have feelings for him. He doesn't know why he questioned it in the first place. You always smile the brightest when you see him and you're always the first person he wants to see when he lands. You're the one he trusts to help work on his ship, his home away from home. So what the hell is he doing? For once he feels stupid. He's been holding you at arms length because what? Distance? Obviously that hasn't played a factor in your feelings for him or his for you.
“Blu didn’t mean anything by what he said” You break him from his thoughts “He's drunk” you laugh awkwardly
“Blu seems like an ass” Tech states as he faintly smiles at you and you return the same smile as your eyes begin to gloss over
“Do you want to know why I didn’t want to kiss you?” Tech asks and you start backing up jabbing a thumb behind you
“I have stuff to do, loads of reports and shipping schedules” You begin to head towards the door, head hung low as your hand comes up to sooth the lump forming in your throat
“I didn’t want our first kiss to be because of a game” Tech blurts out and you stop just as the door slides open, your brows furrow and your hand moves from your throat to cover your eyes.
He watches you closely and your shoulders begin to shake and your arm wraps around yourself. He slowly walks over to you, his hand hesitantly reaches out to touch your shoulder and you slowly move out of his touch. You let out a shaky breath as you wipe at your eyes and turn to him, a forced smile on your face.
“I understand that I just don’t want you to start anything that you can’t finish, you said before the distance will put a strain on any relationship you try to have” You voice wavers and he frowns shaking his head
“That doesn’t mean we just give up, I know what I said before but we both understand it, and I know that I want to be with you, and you want to be with me, so who’s to say it won’t work out unless we try?” He watches as you debate this and he half expects you to just walk out. Rejecting the idea completely and he wouldn't blame you.
“Are you sure this is what you want?” You ask him and Tech takes a moment to think about it before nodding his head “Okay” you say with a nod
He opens his arms for you and you gladly accept his hug. He holds you tightly against him, his hands rubbing up and down your back. Why did it have to come to this for him to actually accept that maybe he doesn’t want to be alone in all this? He does want you that he won’t deny. He’s been so headstrong about not wanting to put you through the strain of distance and the fact that he might die.
He’s robbed himself and you from time that could have been spent together. He could have been holding you like this, he could have had many kisses with you, and instead of sleeping alone that could have been done with you. There was so much you both could have done, all this time wasted. He'll make it up to you that he promises.
“Tech, I wasn’t lying when I said I had a ton of reports and shipping schedules to look at” You mumble against his shoulder and Tech reluctantly lets his arms fall
“I can help you” he says with a smile “and then we can go see how you can help me fix the Marauder” you nod happily
He begins to follows you out the door, but instead he pulls you back and press his lips softly to yours, your lips soft and welcoming. It spread a smile on his face as he begins to pull back, his eyes opening only to close again when your pull him back. Your hands gripping his face and his hands shot up your sides pulling you closer to him. The kiss is hungrier than the soft one he's given you second before. It sends chills up his spine and goosebumps to rise on his skin. He moans into your mouth and you finally pull away.
His eyes still closed as he swipes his tongue over his lips chasing the taste of you. His eyes slowly flutter open and your loving eyes make him smile brightly. He's out of breath and he wants more, but you’re already pulling him to the hangar to get to work. He makes a note to kiss you more often. He can't wait to make up the wasted time.
