Nd5 - Tumblr Posts
s..so.... this uh. this guy huh.
Had to gif, because I just love this little but so meaningful interaction in the cut scene after ND-5 saved Kay again.
I love how awkward and coy they both act, and how ND does that little headshake over his lack of articulation, and how Kay follows him with her eyes.

A collection of Kay Vess x ND-5 from Star Wars Outlaw~ I need moooore~ Got any inspiration ideas? :D
“You owe Jabba money?”
She'd found the idea humorous, that he—that a droid—would be in financial debt to a crime lord. It wasn't an accurate assumption, not completely, but the principle of the matter remained. Even droids—not their owners—could be indebted to Jabba, and droids such as him would certainly be punished if they didn't come through. [ He hasn't spoken about his time in service to Jabba. Those aren't memories he's intent on revisiting. ] Kay had learned, though; the relationship between droids and money.
“I don't get a cut. I'm a droid, with a restraining bolt and property of Jaylen Vrax.”
Jaylen was the one who controlled the finances. The one to whom money flowed. Of course, ND-5 had been able to access funds—weapons upgrades, bribes and payment—every dollar purposefully spent. ND-5 is a droid; superfluous purchases were unnecessary, it was pointless to acquire anything that did not enhance his capabilities. (If he is honest, thread and needle was superfluous; dusters aren't standard issue, don't provide any real use to an old BX Commando unit. Then again, Jaylen deemed his maintenance and upgrades superfluous, too.) It's strange to own money. A lot of things are strange; getting an equal cut of any job he and Kay do, belonging only to himself, reporting to Kay only if he chooses. She pries, of course. But never with entitlement; always bright eyed, lips quirked—asking questions out of genuine curiosity, and a desire to know him better. (That's yet another strange thing. That someone would devote time to knowing him better, and care in their methods for the task.)
As you can see, I'm going crazy for this couple
Noticed the side eye and dark look Jaylen gives ND-5 here when ND asks for Kay's opinion instead of relying entirely on Jaylen's orders and expertise.
This is definitely the moment he notices that there's something going on between them that he never took into account because it never happened on previous missions, that they would grow so close and attached to each other while working together that his droid's loyalty would be swayed by the rookie scoundrel.
This is the moment he realizes he's losing ND and has to double down on using the restraining bolt to keep his control over him.
