Whumptober 2024 - Day 4 - "you're still alive in my head" (Billy Locket, More)
Rated: G | Words: 375
“That form’s not going to fill out itself.”
Fives sighs. “I know that. I’m trying to figure out how to word this.”
“You’re trying to figure out how to lie on an official report,” Echo deadpans.
“I’m not going to lie,” Fives counters. “I’m going to embellish to hide the ugliness of the truth. Those are two very different things.”
“Hmm,” Echo hums, unimpressed by the argument. “Rex is going to see right through your osik. So will the General.”
“Well, then,” Fives says with a grin, “I guess I’ll just write for their entertainment.”
“Reports aren’t supposed to be entertaining. They’re supposed to be informative.”
“They can be both if they’re not written by you,” Fives croons. He begins typing.
“Don’t forget to add where you dropped into the wrong corridor,” Echo says.
Fives grunts. “That’s irrelevant.”
“Seems relevant when you set off two alarms doing it.”
“I deactivated them before I got caught, didn’t I? I’m an ARC, I improvised.”
“You were sloppy.”
“I would’ve liked to see you do better,” Fives snaps. His breath catches for a moment and he stops typing. “No. You would’ve done better.”
Echo doesn’t answer for a long moment, and Fives is afraid he left. He closes his eyes and waits. “We all make mistakes,” Echo says finally. “Just…you need to be more careful, Fives.”
“I’m trying,” Fives mutters. “It’s not the same without you covering my six.”
“I’m not the only brother who can have your back,” Echo says.
Fives frowns down at the datapad gripped in his fists. “But I need you.”
“I’m not there,” Echo tells him. He sounds like he’s pleading. “You have to carry on, Fives.”
“Easier said than done,” Fives murmurs.
A knock behind him makes Fives turn, and Rex stands in the doorway. “Got that report almost finished?”
Fives clears his throat. “Um, yeah—yes, sir. Almost finished.”
Rex nods. “Good, man.” His expression shifts. “First solo mission.”
“Yes, sir,” Fives says.
“You holding up?”
“Of course. Carrying on.” Fives tries to smile. He knows Rex isn’t convinced.
The Captain doesn’t say so. He only nods again and leaves Fives to finish his report.
“Echo?” Fives whispers.
Silence, deep and empty. Then, “I’m here, Fives. I’ll always be here.”
I listened to the song More by Billy Locket on repeat while writing this story (which is where the prompt came from for today!). Please, please listen to it...it's such a beautifully tragic song, and I couldn't help but think about our clone boys while listening to it 😭

The Bad Batch if they auditioned for school musicals!!
(only making this bc i auditioned for a musical earlier today and i was so nervous)
Hunter: Auditions for the main male lead, flips his hair about eighty times whilst auditioning, only ever sings one verse of the song but always gets told it was more than enough and he did great, got the main male lead once, other than that, mostly background characters, because the performing arts teachers really like him.
Wrecker: Comforts the younger years who are auditioning for the first time and are nervous, usually goes for backstage crew to help out, but is happy to play any extras, always gives his opinion to his brothers when they’re auditioning.
Tech: Knows every single song and researches every character in advance, but applies for stage lights. Somehow gets talked into playing an understudy for one of the lead roles and absolutely smashing it (little hc of that he meets Phee through this, as she’s playing the love interest for the character that he is an undestudy for.)
Crosshair: Auditions for chorus, gets chorus, Hunter and Echo have tried to convince him to go for lead roles because, in their words, “why not”, but he always refused and did chorus, and was really good friends with one of the male drama teachers who said Crosshair was “eccentric”
Echo: Auditions for chorus, gets main cast, he actually has an amazing singing voice, and rehearses his song all the time, is really sweet to everyone else on the cast as a whole, but everyone loves him (who wouldn’t?)
Omega: auditions for main cast in her first or second year, but usually one of the younger characters, so she gets it, her brothers all come to see her in the musical
little bonus :)
Fives: Doesn’t audition, but goes to every single show to support his brothers and absolutely loves it, all of it, and sometimes even helps them audition by running lines with them.
No wonder they were in the "Domino squad" 😂😂😂
Behold, the Domino Twins
Absolute finest troopers!
Fives, running upto Echo: I accidentally shot Rex..
Echo: You what?!
Fives: That's not even the worst part! I was torn between saying 'I'm sorry!' and 'Are you fucking okay?!'
Echo:
Fives: but I accidentally screamed 'Are you fucking sorry?!' and now he's trying to kill me
Echo: It's called cauliflower, not ghost broccoli.
Fives, eyes wide: I know what I saw.
Someone has probably already said this but I just realized it's exactly the same energy you cannot tell me otherwise
How it should have happened ☹️
Here something to put a smile on your face:
Real picture of Fives colorized.
I'm not even going to caption this.
Yeah that's it that's the post
I saw a post about them with this quote and it wouldn't leave my head so I offer this (sorry)
Yeah if anything happens to Echo in the finale I will be inconsolable
