Author's Note: I'm sorry this took as long as it did!! I hope you enjoy this!

Hunter: Will pick up on certain things. He gets a feel for what's bothering you when you don't respond to his compliments. It's only at particular times, and he'll finally decide to tentatively ask what's going on. He'll listen to whatever it is that you're insecure about patiently, but is right there with reassurance. He knows that words can only go so far, but now that he's aware, he can be more intentional about it. He's nurturing and supportive without coddling.

Wrecker: Is in absolute disbelief when you tell him about your insecurities. He's rather comfortable with himself and loves who he is despite things that others have taunted him for, and he adores you. He chuckles warmly after your confession and assures you that you're absolutely beautiful. He doesn't want to undermine your feelings in any way, but hearing his chuckle, knowing that something that seemed so major to you wasn't that big of a deal to him helped.

Tech: Can't quite understand at first. You are loved by the Bad Batch, and you have his love, so why were you struggling with it? He comes to understand when you explain, and his no-nonsense way of responding ends up being quite sweet and romantic. Tech is not one to fudge facts or skirt around the truth, so his compliments and assurances are genuine and straight from the heart.

Echo: If anyone could grasp body image issues, it's him. In front of others, he took his own changes in stride... but every now and then, he'd let you in on the truth that deep down it is still a struggle. What he can't grasp is why you feel the way you do when you are so absolutely gorgeous and make him feel like the luckiest guy in the galaxy. He lets you know on the daily just in case you weren't sure.

Warnings: Fluff, pining

Author's note: This one goes out to the Wrecker girlies!!! And anyone else who could use some Wrecker content.

Wrecker:  His broad chest would puff out as he grins, but on the inside, he would melt at your words.  The macho act would last for about two seconds before you can count on him getting all soft.  It would really mean a lot to Wrecker, and he’d show it by pulling you close to gaze down at you with tender eyes, giving you delicate kisses that quickly got more intense.

Hunter:  He can already tell you feel safe with him.  He notices the little things, how you let your guard down a little around him because you know he’ll protect you.  Even so, hearing you tell him that he makes you feel safe will do something to him.  Hunter would give you one of those rare smiles, brow raised, as he wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you closer, saying, ”yeah?”  Expect some heated kisses.

Tech: He wasn’t entirely sure why, but the statement makes him feel so very manly.  He’d subconsciously puff out his chest a little as he walks over to stand directly in front of you.  The whole squad was composed of individuals that were strong and skilled, but you telling him he made you feel safe?  Him specifically?  It made Tech feel special.  He’d smile and lean in to kiss you right then and there, whispering that he would keep you safe.

Echo:  This man would definitely melt at your statement.  He’d be putty.  If he was in a particularly grumpy mood because of the squad’s antics, and you caught him off-guard with that, the things that made him gruff would be quickly forgotten.  Your statement would make Echo feel like a man.  Not just any man, but the man.  Be ready for some kisses the first moment you had alone.

(OC Request:  Hey, Rainy!!! 💖 I was wondering, could you pleease do some HCs/whatever of nicknames the "regs" and Bad Batchers would use for their lovely ladies?)

“Regs”

Rex: In the beginning he is rigid and doesn’t call you anything but your name out of fear he’ll accidentally let it slip in front of someone else.  Eventually he warms up to the idea and starts calling you sweet things like “darling” or “love” when you’re alone. 

Cody: He’d have a few up his sleeve, usually something specific to you.  (ex. “My brown eyed girl” if you have brown eyes, or “blondie” if you’re blonde, etc.).  Although sometimes he’ll simply call you “beautiful.”

Fives: He LOVES terms of endearment both for himself and for his SO.  He uses a few classics like “baby” and “babe” or sometimes “gorgeous.”  When he’s in a particularly good mood, he’ll call you “my one and only.”

Wolffe:  He thinks of one that suits you and sticks with it, usually saving it for rare occasions and also when he’s in a very good mood or is worried for your safety.  Something surprisingly tender like “flower” or “sweetheart.”

Howzer (because why not?): He likes classically romantic names like “my dear.”  On rare occasions when he’s feeling more relaxed, he’ll call you “babe.”  One time he tried “baby” and it sounded so strange coming from him that you both cringed, but then you laughed it off.

Bad Batch

Hunter: He has a few, each for different moods.  When he’s feeling particularly affectionate, he’ll call you something romantic like “star.” Other times when he’s addressing you more casually in private, he’ll call you “sweetheart.”

Crosshair: Doesn’t use terms often, but when he does, he calls you “mine.”  Sometimes he’ll use variations with that attached, like “darling mine.”

Echo: He’s a gentleman and will call you “milady” when others are around, but when you’re alone he likes to use something more intimate like “lover.” 

Tech: He is quite into terms of endearment and definitely goes for the romantic ones like “love” and “dear.”  He’ll sprinkle them into conversations every now and then, though isn’t super excessive- just enough to make it special. 

(OG Request: Request for how bad batch would try to be sneaky for sexy time while with their significant other?

Heyo! I keep my blog SFW, but I have to say that I do like exploring the idea of the guy's attempts to be discreet about affection in general and kissy kissy, so I made preferences to kind of cover that.

Thank you for the request!

(Author’s Note:  Totally inspired by @kamino-mermaid  !!!

Hope you enjoy!)

   Rex:  This man’s respect for you is already up there, but it grows even more when he discovers you know what to do in a survival scenario.  He has basic knowledge and skills about situations should he ever end up in one, just like any soldier, but the next step almost seems to come naturally to you.  He’ll watch you in awe from behind his helmet as you gather materials for an effective shelter or drop random plant names and uses into conversations.  He snaps out of it and offers up assistance in the most professional way, but when the two of you are alone he’ll ask more questions and compliment you away from prying eyes.

   Hunter:  He’d be pleasantly surprised when he found out.  Cue him raising his brow whenever the two of you are in a rough situation and you jump right in with the knowledge of what to do.  You’d told him that it was something you were into, yet he hadn’t been prepared to actually witness it.  As a matter of fact, it makes him even more attracted to you.  He has basic survival skills to prepare him for any scenario, but your level of knowledge impresses him.  Hunter will ask you questions and absorb information you have to spare because he finds it extremely interesting and useful.

   Crosshair: He’ll act like it’s no big deal, but he’s actually quite impressed.  It becomes a favorite pastime of his to watch you organize your gear and tools for the next mission in case things get rough.  Every now and then, he’ll ask a question about the gear and listen as you explain what it’s for because it’s genuinely interesting to him, and he wants to know more about your hobbies.  He greatly appreciates that you know how to handle yourself in different situations, though he still doesn’t mind coming to your rescue.

   Wrecker:  He is absolutely amazed when you come forth with all this knowledge of survival.  You can count on him asking you what random plants are and throwing different hypothetical scenarios at you because he’s just so fascinated.  When it comes time to put your skills to use in the field, Wrecker loves watching you in action and will soak up any information in case he’s faced with a similar scenario.  He will also shamelessly drop a brag every now and then about how smart his gal is.

   Tech:  He likes to be the guy with all the answers.  Logically, he knows it’s impossible to have all the answers, but still.  Upon realizing you have more extensive knowledge about survival in different situations, he’d want to read up about the subject to engage in discussions with you.  If you have information that conflicts with his intel, you might butt heads a little, but in the end he has an open mind and doesn’t have a problem with admitting he’s wrong if he discovers it to be true.  Tech will enjoy stepping back in survival scenarios and letting you take the lead with information for the team.  He finds it very attractive watching you in your element.

OG Request: Can you do bad batch x pregnant reader...like how each one would react to a pregnant so?

Warnings: mentions of marriage and pregnancy

Hunter: When he first finds out that his wife is pregnant, his eyes go wide as he absorbs the information. Do not worry because this man is extremely happy. He’d wrap an arm around you and brush his nose against yours lovingly at the realization you were both parents.. During the pregnancy, he gets very protective. It’s not so much of him facing down other males, but more along the lines of him warning you about every little potentially dangerous situation. Sometimes it’s sweet, and other times it gets annoying. The two of you might end up bickering over what’s “safe enough” for you or not. Despite this, he’s very attentive to your needs. He can be pretty patient when it comes to mood swings and will go get you whatever snacks you’re craving.

Tech: Little did you know that he started noticing the signs before you did and was the one to hand you a pregnancy test. You might even scoff at the sight of the test, but decide to indulge him anyway since he seemed rather insistent. Several minutes later, you emerge from the refresher looking pleasantly shocked. His suspicions are confirmed, but he is still very excited. He wraps his arms around you and lifts you off the ground in a spin. During the pregnancy, he is affectionate. If he can, he’ll hold your hand while analyzing and working on his datapad. He’ll stop and give you hugs whenever he has a minute to spare. He could be affectionate before, but during pregnancy it’s dialed up to eleven. He likes to be prepared and educated, so he spends a lot of time reading up on pregnancy/baby articles and talks about his finds a lot.

Echo: He is unbelievably happy when he finds out, eyes wide and mouth falling open in a gaping smile. He might ask you a few times if it’s really true because he’s just in happy disbelief. He’s so proud and would be excited to make the announcement. During the pregnancy, be ready for his protectiveness and affection to dial up. He’d be very particular about making sure you’re comfortable and not exerting yourself. Not to mention, he’s making sure you know over and over again how beautiful you are during the pregnancy and how much he loves you. He’s patient through any insecurities that may surface and pretty reassuring, though on occasion his nitpicking over safety may get old sometimes. Echo will for sure get you anything you crave and is very understanding when it comes to things like mood swings.

Wrecker: When you first tell him, even if it’s in a serious tone, he still might think you’re joking and chuckle. Even if the two of you were looking to start a family, the reality of it wouldn’t hit him for a while. When he finally realizes it’s true, he is ecstatic. There’s a certain awe in his gaze as he looks at you, and you can bet he’d be grinning ear-to-ear. During the pregnancy, he is a little more tender and careful with you. He is pretty attentive. He likes to eat a lot, so he is your snack buddy. He’s down to snack whenever you are, and most likely will be down to have whatever you’re craving with you- absolutely no judgement. Honestly, he just likes to see you happy, and whether that be food, cuddles, or whatever, he will do his best to get it for you.

   Hunter: Doesn't mind going, though he isn't entirely sure at first why you'd want him going along. When you say you want his opinion, and being a part of the Bad Batch doesn't mean you get to go often, he understands and is on board. He spends the beginning of the trip following and just watching you browse since you seemed to know what you were doing, giving his opinion only when asked. After he gets a feel for the kind of stuff you like, he'd start to branch out a bit and go find stuff to show you. Sometimes he's a little clueless about what matches or goes with what, but you appreciate the effort he puts into it, and he takes mental notes if you tell him a certain fabric won't work or you're not fond of a certain color. The trip is overall pleasant, and Hunter tells you he wouldn't mind going again.

   Wrecker: Would be excited because it was a new experience. No one ever asked for his opinion on clothes before. He'd be pretty into it right from the start, offering up lots of suggestions and going "_________! What about this?" a lot. At first he may not quite get your taste, but after he gets a feel for what you prefer, he'd actually be the one to bring you some great finds. Wrecker would be enthusiastic and make loud compliments, making the other shoppers giggle at how cute the two of you were. He may or may not need reminders about the budget because he goes overboard with suggestions.  At the end of the trip, he carries all your things like a gentleman and takes the opportunity to show off his strength.  Make no mistake; he’d definitely want a fashion show after the trip to see how everything looked, and definitely wants you to bring him again another time.

   Tech: He’d ask if you actually needed him to go along.  It’s not that he doesn’t want to go.  He wouldn’t mean any offense; he just has a list of other things that need to be done.  You insist that his opinion really matters, and that would make him smile a bit.  “I suppose I could use a break from all this anyway,” he’d say, pushing up his goggles.  He doesn’t hesitate to make his thoughts known, and that is the same during this task.  He’ll stay near to you but break away a bit to find a few things to present to you right.  Tech almost always has reasons behind his choices.  “I think this one would bring out your eyes” or  “That one would complement your figure.”  That being said, even though he has a lot to say, he believes that how you feel about the clothes is most important, and he only offers opinions to be helpful and not pushy.  He lets you know that he wouldn’t mind going along again sometime.

   Echo: He'd act a little gruff at first. Part of him feels like as a man and a soldier he has to act just a tiny bit grumpy about tagging along on a shopping trip (especially in front of the rest of the Bad Batch), but really it doesn't bother him. He'd follow you around, and you can count on him giving an honest opinion, though always in a nice way. He does have pretty good taste as far as what looks good on you. "What about this? This is nice." It would be kind of adorable to see how invested he'd get over the course of the trip.  He also gets excited about finding nice stuff on sale.   He nods his head in silent approval when all the discounts flash across the register screen.  At the end of it, he'd go back to pretending to be a little grumpy, claiming the trip wasn't too horrible and that he'd go with you again.
