Arc Trooper Fives "Scream Into The Void"...GO!
yesssss I love a good Fives moment
I do think Fives is a 'screamer' when it comes to emotional outbursts. He is loud and up front about how he is feeling and sometimes there's nothing better than going into a closet or out into a field or the top of a building and yelling at the dark. He enjoys that a lot. I was waffling on doing angsty or silly with this one and, can you believe it, I chose silly. Me! Choosing silly! Incredible.
Kix was alarmed as he approached, hearing the noise permeate the walls of the ship. He was just trying to get to the medbay when he first heard it, screams muffled but still easy enough to hear. He rounded a corner, spotting Echo as he leaned against a wall, sly smile on his face while he stared at one of the unused briefing room.
"Trooper," Kix barked, getting closer. Echo dropped the smile and stood straight at the word, reacting to the tone more than anything else. Another set of muffled screams made Echo's eyes dark over before falling back into Kix's face. Good kid, that Echo, but he had a tendency to bend the rules to his whim if he could slide it into the cracks of a vaguely worded Regulation. "What's going on here and where in the hell is that screaming coming from and why do I think you're involved?"
Echo opened his mouth but was interrupted by a round of cursing, having to clamp his mouth shut to keep from, seemingly, laughing. Kix narrowed his eyes, waiting it out until Echo could clear his throat and work through it.
"Sir! It's Fives. He's, uh, indisposed at the moment."
Kix sighed heavily. "Be detailed, trooper, I am not in the mood." He folded his arms over his chest, staring into Echo's eyes to convey just how over this he already was.
"Fives is having... a moment. Me time, if you will... Sir." Echo swallowed, hard.
Kix grit his teeth. "And why exactly is 'me time' hollering so close to my medbay?"
He knew these kids were good, smart, capable soldiers, though they knew how to get under Kix's skin on the worst of days. He liked these two, regardless, though he couldn't help but try to keep them in line when they thought no one was looking. It might just save their lives one day.
"He mispronounced the word 'blaster' and said 'blister' instead so now every time he says anything about his weapon there is a chorus of 'blister' around the room. So. Me time... Sir." Echo gestured towards where Fives was still yelling, his eyes twinkling. Something told Kix that Echo had something to do with the ongoing reminder of Fives' minor blunder, and it reminded him of all the time he'd gone out of his way to mess with one of his batch mates. Kix grumbled but his amusement must've shown by the way Echo's smile grew.
"Just... Make sure he wraps it up before the general is done with his briefing." Kix strode past him, hearing another string of colorful curses and Echo's gentle chuckle, smiling despite himself.
