Bad Batch Crosshair - Modern AU (Realization)

I was at work today thinking what would Crosshairs reaction be to realizing that he was in love with Lyni. Thinking of with their friendship he has stopped sleeping around, quit smoking and has a few drinks to unwind one of those would go insane again. In a nutshell, he gets drunk out of his mind.

************************************************************************

Looking at the six cups in front of him Crosshair motioned for another. Someone beside him was feeling his chest and shoulders murmuring about having fun, but he shook them off. It wasn't Lyni.

****

FIve more drinks in and the people around him finally realized that he did not want company. So when someone sat down beside him he turned to glare at them. Only to see, "Tech?"

His twin brother was merely looking at the collection of glasses critically, "You have gone over your usual limit." Looking him in the eye, "What is wrong?"

Crosshair whispered the answer but saw that Tech couldn't hear him. Then he spoke louder, "I'm in love with Lyni."

To his surprise Tech answered, "Yes, that was obvious." Motioning to the drinks and the bar around them, "How this was going to help is not."

Groaning into his hands, "I don't know either." Then feeling talkative because of the alcohol, "I guess i'm just doing what I always do when someone can understand me well." Swirling his latest drink in hand, "Run away from the connection."

Looking over he saw that Tech was typing on his phone before hearing a ping in his pocket, "I have sent you a list of ways knowing Lyni has improved your life." Moving on to the next thing, "I believe that they should be considered before abandoning your friendship with her."

Smiling at how his brother showed him support, "Thanks Tech." Setting down the unfinished drink, "I'll pay up and we'll head home."

"That is not necessary," Tech answered without looking up from his phone. As Crosshair tuned to him, "I have already paid and am merely waiting for you to be finished." With an almost amused chuckle Crosshair tapped his twins arm and they left the bar.

*****

The next morning Crosshair groaned as he woke up. Pain from his hangover was lancing though him as he turned from the light that found ways to poke though the window. His eyes fell on a bottle of water and a note in unfamiliar handwriting.

Picking it up he squinted to read, I came by to see how you were but Tech said you had a rough night. I hope you didn't get sick because of me. I hope that you feel better soon. - Lyni

Then there was an additional note at the bottom, P.S. I brought some croissants from the cafe. I told Wrecker to leave some for you, hopefully he listened. Either way please eat something. -L

A smile broke over Crosshair's face as he gently touched her name on the note. As well as the request that he eat something. Drinking the water he knew he couldn't just walk away from his friend. He would be there for her and the twins until the day he died.

************************************************************************

So, there you have it. Cross would go on a bender before Tech, his twin would pull him out of it.

Dozing in the sun.

And after Obi-wan is in it Cody will help him out. Because this is before he realizes those two are his responsibility as long as he serves General Kenobi, who will hurt himself going after them.

Cody siping his caf watching Anakin and Ahsoka blow up a building: Not my circus, not my monkeys.

Obi-wan running towards the burning building: MycircusmymonkeysMycircusmymonkeysMycircusmymonkeysMycircusmymonkeys-!

Bad Batch Crosshair - Modern AU (Purple)

Zabracks bleed purple. Iridonian Zabracks have various levels of purple due to intermarrying with other races. Dathmarian Zabracks like Lyni bleed deep plum while their blush is bright purple.

Crosshair and the batch did not know this. They found out because when some violence happened Lyni helped out the victim before coming home with a blood covered shirt. Cue mass panic.

All the while Lyni has no idea why everyone is freaking out and smacks Crosshair's hands away (he is trying to find the source of blood flow). Suddenly it clicks and she backs up confused, "This isn't my blood." As it sank in, "Zabracks bleed purple," looking at Tech specifically, "didn't you know that?"

Tech was the only one not panicking and caught Crosshair when he stumbled back surprised that Lyni had hit him. Tech was able to explain to Cross, Hunter, and Wrecker about how Zabracks have purple blood.

Cross is still upset about it and does a complete visual check after her shower to make sure she's not bleeding. (The bros check too but he's the most obvious about it. And keeps checking for the longest.)

The Bad Batch Crosshair - Modern AU (My Babies)

I think that Lyni's niece Shadow is autistic. That's one of the reasons she normally doesn't talk and just hates certain textures and tastes. Her twin Brutal on the other hand will try anything but won't eat if Shadow isn't. Lyni has a lot of stress because of this and always makes their food herself.

Crosshair's cousins don't believe that he's actually turning into a family man. That is until they hear him giving a twenty minute lecture on how Shadow likes things before producing a list of her likes and dislikes to check everything against. Now theirs a betting pool on his relationship with Lyni and the kids.
