Prompt - "Well, I’m sorry I fell in love with you, okay? But it happened and I can’t do anything about it.” “You... What?” & "I never wanted anyone to feel bad for me, especially not you"
The sun streaming through the windows did little to fight against the coldness he felt, he knew the room was warm, he knew the cold he felt deep in his bones wasn’t there and yet he couldn’t fight the shivers that wracked his body. It didn’t matter that he could see the small room his brother’s had shown him to once they landed on the planet, in his mind he was still there, still in that cold, small cell with no hope of escaping.
He’d been there for so long, long enough that he had lost track of the days. He could have planned an escape, could have made some attempt to leave their torture but what for? There was nothing waiting for him outside of his cell anymore.
Gone was his relationship with his brothers, gone was the easy back and forth banter with Wrecker, gone were the late night talks with Hunter, gone were the days him and Tech would sit together, his brother’s voice filling the silence without expecting anything back from Crosshair, gone was Echo’s steady presence, at his side whenever he needed it.
Gone were you.
Gone were the early mornings when the rest of his brothers were still asleep, only you and Crosshair awake in the cockpit holding a warm cup of caff and filling the space with softly spoken conversation. Gone were the days spent trying to stick by your side, gone were the stolen glances and lingering touches, gone was sneaking away after missions to explore together, gone were the chances he took to watch you smile, gone was the promise he’d tell you how he felt tomorrow.
Crosshair had run out of tomorrow’s a long time ago.
After all he had done, all the pain he had put his brothers through, the pain he had put you through, this was the least he deserved.
And so when the chance came to make his escape, to leave the pain and the torture behind he hesitated. The cell door was open, it would be so easy to leave and yet he hesitated.
If the kid hadn’t been there, if her life didn’t depend on him getting her out he knows he would have stayed where he was, he would have rotted in that cell for as long as they decided he was useful alive.
Now he was free and somehow he felt more confined than ever. It wasn’t just because Hunter wouldn’t take his eyes off him, it wasn’t because Wrecker hovered or the fact Omega had seemed to attach herself to him. It didn’t even have anything to do with the fact that you were here, stars above Crosshair couldn’t think of a time he would ever have ignored your presence and yet now he did everything to stay away from you, not able to face you yet.
No, it wasn’t because of you or his brothers that Crosshair felt confined. It was because he didn’t deserve this freedom, in his head he was still in the cold cell, destined to rot away.
Crosshair stood from the floor, unable to lay there any longer. The room had a bed tucked against the wall but Crosshair had only managed about ten minutes of tossing and turning on it before he gave the bed up for the floor, the bed too soft compared to what he had become used to.
Everyone else was still asleep as he made his way outside, no real destination in mind. His feet carried him through side streets until they grew sore and only then did he make his way back, stopping not too far away from where the others were to sit on the sand, the sun shining blindingly on the water.
He didn’t deserve to be here.
“I used to come here.” A voice interrupted him some time later, a voice he recognised all too well. “It’s quiet, no one ever comes here.”
Crosshair didn’t turn to look at you, he couldn’t bring himself to do it but when you sat next to him it was too much. He went to stand but your hand softly grabbing his stopped him.
“Please stop running away.” You pleaded softly and Crosshair didn’t have to look at you to know your eyes were teary but he did anyway, his heart aching for having made you this way.
“I can’t do this.” He told you quietly, forcing his gaze away from yours and looking back out at the water.
“I don’t know what happened to you,” You said after a moment's silence and Crosshair balled his hand into a fist, silently begging you to stop talking. “I don’t know what they did to you and you don’t have to tell me but-”
“But nothing.” He spat angrily, glaring at the sea and instantly hating himself for lashing out at you, so he tried again, softer this time. “But nothing. What they did to me was nothing less than I deserved.”
“Don’t say that.” You said, head shaking as you tried to compose yourself.
“It’s the truth, I tried to kill you, kill my brothers…I hurt you all and for what? For the Empire to throw my loyalty in my face.” Crosshair shrugged.
“For what it’s worth, I never gave up on you.” You told Crosshair, looking away from him as you spoke. “It didn’t matter what you did, how far you strayed from us, I never gave up on you.”
“You should have.” He muttered. “Everyone else did, Hunter doesn’t trust me, Wrecker wants to but he knows I’m nothing more than a lost cause.”
“That’s not true. Hunter’s just being Hunter, he needs time to adjust, needs time to figure things out in his head and then he’ll want to talk to you. Yeah you’re both gonna throw out words you don’t mean, maybe a punch or two but after that…it’s Hunter, he’s glad you’re back. As for Wrecker he wants to come to you, you know that as much as I do but he’s scared, he doesn’t want to spook you so he’s waiting for you to make the first move.” You explained, keeping your voice soft, not turning to face Crosshair as he turned to look at you.
“What about you?” He finally asked, voice barely above a whisper.
“I was with Wrecker. I kept my distance and waited to see what your move was. Turns out your move was to avoid everyone.” You laughed and Crosshair felt himself relax a little, the sound one he hadn't heard in so long and it somehow managed to push out some of the cold he felt. “I feel for you, Cross, I do. Stars only know what the Empire did to you but you’re free now, don’t let them win, don’t shut us out.”
“I never wanted anyone to feel bad for me, especially not you.” Crosshair said after a long pause of silence and you laughed again.
“We all feel bad for you, despite everything you’re one of us.” You told him so sincerely that Crosshair felt like he’d been punched in the stomach at the speed his breath was stolen from him.
You turned to face him, a small smile on your face and you hesitated for only a moment before you reached out and took his hand in yours, entwining your fingers together.
“I don’t deserve any of this,” Crosshair forced out and you smiled at him softly. “I don’t deserve you, you should be running away from me, leave me behind and move on.”
“Well, I’m sorry but I fell in love with you, okay?” You told him, watching as his eyes widened in complete disbelief. “It happened and I can’t do anything about it.”
“You…what?” Crosshair choked, for so long he had dreamed of you and him, of a life where you could possibly want him but it was such a far off dream, something that would never become a reality and now you were saying the words he had longed to hear for years.
“You’re stuck with me, Cross, I’m not going anywhere, I’m not running away. You’re it for me, always have been.” You said, laughing as a tear or two managed to slip down your cheek and Crosshair only second guessed himself for a moment before his hand cupped your cheek and he softly brushed the tears away, his thumb caressing your cheek bone.
“I don’t deserve you.” He repeated and you smiled brightly at him. “But I will spend the rest of my life trying.”
“I love you.” You told him again, watching as his eyes became watery and he rested his forehead against yours.
“I love you too, so much.” He choked out and you couldn’t stop yourself from closing the small distance between the two of you, Crosshair not hesitating to meet you in the middle.
Crosshair’s hand on your cheek moved to your hair, pulling you impossibly closer as he kissed you, savouring every second of the feeling, something he had longed for and convinced himself he could never have.
Eventually the two of you needed to pull apart for air, breathing heavily but not going far from each other, foreheads together as you both smiled at the other.
For the first time in so long Crosshair didn’t feel a single bit of cold, his body was warm, his heart racing as he held you close. For the first time in a long time Crosshair didn’t feel numb, he didn’t feel pain or fear.
It felt like he was finally off that awful planet, it felt like he had finally left his cold cell behind and stepped into the daylight, able to feel the sun of Pabu for the first time and it was because of you, you were the source of this warmth, this love, this joy, this overwhelming relief that things would be better.
For the first time in a very long time Crosshair felt like things would be okay, he had you, he swore he’d make amends with his brothers, spend the rest of his life making up for everything, spend the rest of his life proving he was worthy of yours and his brother’s love. It felt easier, it felt doable with you at his side once again.

The Bad Batch and Comforting You (TBB x GN!Reader)
Summary: We all have bad days, and the Batch are there with plenty of comfort.
Warnings: None.
-- -- -- -- --
Hunter
When Hunter notices your distress, his initial reaction is concern, but once his senses kick in, he understands all you need is his presence. Rather than making declarations to harm anything or anyone that has upset you, he offers solace by holding you, lending an ear, and providing reassurance. Although it’s challenging to resist taking immediate action when something goes wrong, he becomes accustomed to responding to what you need.
One afternoon, after going to the market with Omega, he came home and immediately noticed your low mood. He inquired about your well-being, but regardless of how much you tried to hide it, he could sense that you were not okay. He gave you time, engaging in conversations that always uplifted your mood until you felt comfortable discussing what had bothered you. With a lump in your throat, you recounted the events, determined to tell him before your tears and sobs took hold. He listened attentively, respecting your personal space, and embraced you tightly once you were done. In a tender gesture, he lightly caressed your back, offering comforting words and arranging a restful evening of watching your favourite holo-movies and indulging in snacks.
Echo
Echo is an incredible listener who is always available to hear you out and offer support. When something bothers you or you need to vent, he listens, providing occasional nods to let you know he’s present and attentive, taking in every word you say. He feels helpless when he can’t provide practical assistance, but he’s always willing to offer cuddles and TLC whenever you need them.
Throughout the day, you made an effort to hide your upset, but Echo could see that something had got to you. With sincere concern, he asked if everything was okay and was ready to respect your privacy if you didn’t want to discuss your difficulties. However, the moment you started to share, he was there, fully engaged and ready to help. He found a secluded spot for you to sit down and patiently waited for you to finish speaking. With your hand in his, he reminded you of your strength, promising you that whatever challenges lay ahead, you would overcome them together.
Wrecker
Despite being sweet-natured, Wrecker is more than willing to eliminate anything or anyone that has upset you. He doesn’t freak out right away if you’re upset, but he definitely wants to know all the details to make sure you’re not hurt. After ensuring there is no immediate danger, he will attempt to distract you with your favourite activities.
When you first started dating, both of you made a mutual agreement to communicate if either of you were feeling low. On one particular day, everything that could have gone wrong happened, and when Wrecker finally returned home, you were a mess. After making sure there was no direct threat, he focused on making you feel at ease. He got you something to eat, prepared your favourite warm drink, and wrapped you in a snug blanket, all the while reminding you of fond memories that make you smile. You spent the night snuggled against his chest, feeling secure in his embrace until both of you drift off to sleep intertwined.
Crosshair
The moment Crosshair sees you’re upset, he’s ready to jump into action. Despite his calm demeanour, he has already devised numerous solutions to the problem before you even finish telling your story. He finds solace in meticulously preparing for potential concerns, even though he knows unexpected situations can still arise. One strategy he uses to calm his mind is to embrace you, serving as a reminder that you are safe and showing his commitment to be there for you.
Throughout the entire day, you appeared to be behaving normally, but Crosshair could sense that something had bothered you. Your smile seemed less genuine, your responses were briefer than usual, and you were intentionally avoiding him. He knew it wasn’t his fault; early on in the relationship, you both discussed and agreed not to let any issues linger between you. While you didn’t show any signs of pain, he wanted you to know that he was available for comfort if you ever needed it. After dinner, you shared with him what had annoyed you. He caught on to the fact that you were just looking to vent and stayed quiet while you ranted. With care, he guided you to the couch, holding you tightly against him, and offering occasional reassuring comments as he rubbed your arm and kissed your forehead.
Tech
Tech relies on his logical side to offer you consolation. He avoids repeating information you already know, recognising that it can be frustrating, especially when you’re upset. Nevertheless, if he thinks it will provide you with reassurance, he may delve more deeply into the topic. Before making any physical contact, he will inquire if you would like to be cuddled first.
As you approached him with a problem, he could sense your hesitation and patiently waited for you to gather your thoughts and express what had happened. When he asked if it was something immediately threatening, you assured him it wasn’t, and he let you proceed. You found your words, and he remained focused, asking additional questions to gain a clear understanding of the situation. Witnessing the distress caused by the incident, he made you a drink and pulled you close as you rested your head on his shoulder. While comforting you with a hug, he expressed his perspective on the situation to provide encouragement that everything would turn out all right.
48 and 34 with cross hair for the mini fic if u want pls I beg
48- "He's an asshole. But he's all handsome, socially out of tune"
34-"How much do I look like a fuck boy? " *Points gun* "Enough"
It's well know amount the Regs not to fuck with the bad batch and namely Crosshair. He has put more regs in Bacta tank then the rest of his brothers.
It was the reason people give him a wide birth when clone force 99 spend nights at 79's. The only ones who would have much to do with them is Cody if he made an appearance that night.
Meeting Crosshair was in its self an experience, Y/n had originally worked along side the wolf pack and General Pol Koon, they had been transferred to the bad batch for certain missions and from there you rotated between both squads at the wish of commander Cody.
Most of the batch had been very kind to them hadn't caused much trouble after they had been transferred over to help, Crosshair on the other hand despised them for a while. It was nothing personal just doesn't like working with Regs or working with those who are part of a Reg team.
When they got shipped off to the bad batch Wolffe had given them a talk before hand. Told them not to take any Bantha Poodoo from any of them.
Actually meeting the bad batch was interesting. Y/n had thrown Crosshair over their shoulder and winded him after the said something about their commander. "Don't you ever talk about my commander like that every again" they had growled at him.
It was quite amusing to Wrecker, Hunter broke them up before they could cause any damage to each other.
Later that day they walked onto the ship with Hunter, both of them joking around when they had asked "How much do I look like a fuck boy? " they asked.
They give a bit of a laugh before turning around to be met with crosshair pointing his rifle towards them, he smirks lightly rolling his toothpick across his lips.
"Enough" he replys to them pretending to pull the trigger. Hunter shakes his head as he continues his way though the ship.
Y/n follows close behind hunter shooting Crosshair a look as they disappear into on of the rooms. "What's his problem Hunter?" They ask the Sargent.
Hunter looks back to them once they finally sat down to look over Tech report. "Who Cross" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes Cross who else!" They say crossing their arms across their chest and take a seat. Hunter sighs and takes a seat close.
"Crosshair has been thought alot, it's not easy being the odd one out of your batch. We all had it interesting. Crosshair was not only a defective clone but also having Albinism it made it difficult to get along with the Regs. He got into alot of fights with them." Hunter explained, he smiles lightly as they scoff at what he said.
"You like him, don't you" Hunter says eyes never leaving them. It makes Y/n squirm, their eyes going wide as they stare hunter down.
"No!, absolutely not!, He's an asshole. But he's all handsome, socially out of tune. And I want to push him yet I wish to kiss him" they say the last part mainly to themself.
Hunters eyes land on someone behind Y/n and they sigh staring Hunter down again. "He's standing right behind me isn't he?" They ask before turning around to be meet with Crosshair standing right agaisnt the chair.
"Well I wasn't expecting that from you, Pack pup" he says the smirk never leaving his lips. Y/n sighs looking to him " just kill me now so I don't have to live with the embarrassment"
"Not a chance Civie"
"I'm going to punch you and mess the pretty face of yours up crosshair!"
------------
I hope this was alright still getting into writing these guys but I had alot go fun working on this peice.
Well since I found out it's Americans fathers day. Send me some Bad batch father's day ideas and I'll make some cute dad content. Which means toy guys get the double fathers day becuase I'll do it again when It's my country's father day. That will be in September
So.... I had to close match ups again becuase I have just a big demand for them but since it's closed I'm still doign fanfictions and request. But liek I have over 20+ new request. Plus the other 10 I'm working thought.
If you’re still doing match ups and a one shot, could I bother you for one? You’re writing has been such a blast to read!
I’m 26, bisexual, and intersex (so they / them makes me super happy!). Im 5,9”, athletic with heavily muscled legs from years of rugby and other sports, tattoos, piercings, and dark almond shaped eyes. My hair is a dark brown and it used to be Mohawk but it has now turned into a mullet with shaved sides (thanks covid quarantine 😂).
I keep myself physically active because my profession is in the academics (and I have adhd lol)! I taught at a university as an introduction to literature professor during my graduate years and loved to work with students to help them find their own ways of thinking both about literature and the world. Im as much of an extrovert as I am an introvert at times, as I need alone time to decompress or work through new ideas for papers or narratives. At the end of the day if I can curl up with a good video game or show, scroll through some memes, and have a nice cold drink (I live in a desert), I’ll be happy.
Bad batch match
Yo your style sounds Hella Awesome!. Atm my hair is only the top with all sides and back shaved. And it's faded blue need to re door or might go Green again at once it fades enough.
I match you with..... Crosshair
Crosshair first first meets you thought Admrial rampart, you look so out of place in an Impeiral Uniform but that's what draw him to you to begin with.
The admiral seems to have respect for you and trust your judgment so who is Crosshair to disagree.
Your tattoos interest him once he gets a glimpse, in his time the only ones he had know to ever put so much effort into their looks wirh tattoos and body modification were clones and you stick out like a sore thumb amongs the officers.
He's quite while watching, and he eventually moves, starting small convosation that have to do with future missions. But after time he begins to enjoy talking with you.
He loves the way you re eyes light up when he walks into the room, how you have to try and hide a smile becuase 'commander Crosshair' is here.
He is alot more physical with affection, but he is also rough. He has so much pent up energy and it leads to the two to you getting together.
Crosshair has a Thing for tugging your pericings with his teeth, he doesn't know why but it just feel nice to know your at his mercy.
Watching you with new recruits always lead to something, some kid not knowing their place and trying to hit on you. And he is always their to pull them back into line.
He can be possessive but more on the line of, "he will fuck you up" if you hurt his lover. But does try to keep the relationship hidden. After all he is a Clone and you are an Impeiral officer.
He has a feeling Admrial rampart enjoys making Crosshair show more emotion then he wants, will team you up with the clone sniper on missions constantly. (Rampart finds it amusing watching Cross having to deal with emotions)
The amount of late night meet ups between you both whether it be on Kamino, planet side or on missions toy both find little bits of time to wide down and be around each other.
His group know about you both but aren't willing to say anything after the 'incident' their first mission. They don't fuck with the Commander and he wont fuck with them. Is how they see it.
God's he loves tracing your tattoos, running his fingers thought your hair and just gripping onto the strands and pulling you to his lips.
"Commander, this is officer Y/n. They will be assisting and traveling with you on your next mission. Your duty is to make sure they get back alive and with the Intel we need." The admiral explains as you move into the light. crosshair gives you a once over. Eyes scanning you're form.
You hold your hand out for the Crosshair to shake. He only stares at you as bites into the end of his tooth pick. " You look quite out of place for an Impeiral officer" Crosshair states. You roll your eyes and up your hand back.
"They are a good friend of my Commander, I trust them with my life. It is the reason I am intrusting them to you for this mission, you are the best from.what I have seen. They will be in good hands with you" Admiral Rampart Says looking between the two of you as me let's a small smile fall onto his lips.
"Im sure you too will get to know each other very well, after all Commander they are becoming apart of your team now. So treat them with respect. Any complaints are yo be brought to me" the small sparkle of Mischief in the young Admirals eyes is onyl seen for a short moment by you.
"Oh and, Do not disappoint me Commander. And don't under estimate Them." Is translate thing he says before making a quick and swift exist leaving you in the somewhat intimidating Presence of the Sniper.
He takes his toothpick from his lips and points it towards you. " Be ready before we ship out, I won't have you cashing trouble or ruining our mission" he says only for you to nod before speaking.
"Understood sir, I look forward to working with you, the admiral has told me a great deal about you, and yo uyr records are quite impressive." You say with a Smile, it makes him sease up a little as his eyes burn into you.
"I'll see you early, once again. I look forward to working with you. Commander Crosshair " you reply while making your way to the door.
Crosshair stays standing in the room now empty of all presence but his own as he growls. "Who is that Officer, and why do they look like someone who is going to cause me more touble then it's worth" he grumbles to himself before making his leave swiftly.
Crosshair Fics and match up Links
Crosshair
First time making an ask like this and I'm nervous... Could I get a bad batch match up?
I'm about 5ft6, female, bi, old enough to drink but I usually drink on weekends or on special occasions and always something sweet, hair is at bottom shoulder blade length, flat but after being out in the rain it's a curly mess, dirty blood (knowing my family's genetics it'll likely be brown in my mid twenties) grey blue eyes, round/soft facial features, best way I could describe my body is that it fits ancient Greek beauty standards.
I'm a certified huntress on small wild life, I prefer cold over warm weather any day, know my way around a gun like shotguns and rifles to be exact, love meat but also food in general and can make pretty alright food (still learning) I've learned how to sew, I draw and write when I'm listening to music, any music works for me although I'm really into Celtic and french pop, not a big fan of kids in general but if they are raised well I can vibe with that.
I'm a very physically affectionate person (yes covid has be driving my mad these past two years) not great with small talk, minor trust issues, nervous on doing new things, I can be a bit blunt at times when talking to someone, if you are going to ask my something I'm gonna be honest... Sometimes brutally, will call someone out on their bull shit in less than a heartbeat, will throw hands in a verbal debate, love cracking shitty puns, only person you should trust with a map (no I'm very much serious about that because I've yet to meet someone else who can actually navigate) if I got the money I will buy stuff for my loved ones, from my friends they say I'm loyal and caring but over protective at times.
I got 0 idea if this is enough or to much to work with for the match up but hopefully it's not.
Also hope you have a fantastic summer and keep up the good work!
You Celtic is awesome! Mind you I have alot of Irish family and alot go Celtic and Gaelic heritage, hunting is awesome! I wish I was able to do it but not much to hunt here other then wild dogs and occasional feral Pig.
We are still in winter atm but it's almost spring which is gonna kill me because allergies and
MAGPIE SEASON!!
I need to start feeding them again so I don't lose an eye or get swooped.
I match you with.... Crosshair
What's draws him to you is watching you shoot. It's no secret he has a bit of a crush on anyone who knows how to use a rifle.
Will even offer to go on hunts with you becuase it's his way of wanting to spend time with you.
Let's face it your still shorter then him and he uses it to his advantage every chance he gets. Resting his chin on your head, using you as an arm rest.
Of all the bad batch he's the biggest tease, and do not put it past him to play petty games. He likes winning doenst matter what it's at.
As much as he put up the hard ass persona he is actually quite a sweet guy when he wants to be, he just doesn't like showing it to much around his brothers.
He likes your brutal Honeslty and understands not liking small talk. Most of the time his way of showing affection is thought present and physical touch but only after he has been aroudn you for long enough.
Please call him out when he's being an asshole he will listen to you. He will grumble under his breath but he's not as grumpy or short tempted as he used to be.
He will roll his eyes at your jokes but inside he loves them and thinks they are smart and witty jokes and comments.
He's basically a grumpy cat who only lets you touch him. He's touch staved but isn't willing to say anything so he more so just nudges himself agaisnt you until you give him attention.
Learning to pick up the little signs from crosshair took a while but now it was easier to understand what he wanted. When he brushes his hand agaisnt yours, it means he wants you to be close or just in his view so he knows your safe.
A small tilt of his head towards an area means he wants you to follow him. And when he kisses you like no tomorrow it means he is content where he is. With you wrapped in his arms, his eyes focused only on you. It's the late night kisses and small interactions with him that make it all worth it. Curled up agaisnt each other laying in a hammock on a forest planet.
"We need to do this more often, find a random planet and just camp out. You look so at ease tonight" you whisper and press a soft kiss to his lips which make him let out a small huff. "I enjoy being close to you, but I wouldn't complain about doing this more often." He says lightly eyes now looking up towards the sky.
You smile lightly tracing your fingers down the side of his face, the soft star light reflect in his eyes before they block back to you. " What are you thinking about Cross?" You ask him moving to now lay agaisnt his chest with your elbows crossed as you rest agaisnt him.
"Thinking about what happens after the war, if we get our freedom to make our own lives. I'd settle down on a planet like this. A small farm with local fauna and make a big veritable garden" he says wirh a small smile crossing his lips as he explains where everything would be.
The smile on your face never seem to end as you watch him. "Id like that Cross, you would look good as a farmer" you say teasingly only for him to roll his eyes at you and pull you closer. " And you look amazing with a rifle in hand" he states before he presses another kiss to your lips.
"Alright sweet talker, let's get some sleep otherwise your gonna be unbearable tomorrow" you state and poke his nose wirh your finger. "Ruin the moment will you" he grumbles and pulls you into his side.
Hi, could you please ship me with one of the bad batch clones?
I’m 5 feet tall so I’m pretty short- I have brown and greenish eyes, along with long eyelashes. My hair is dark brown and is currently at mid-length. I wear glasses if I really need them. I like to draw, bake, read, and take care of plants! Not only to add I love being with friends and family, but I also love being myself. People usually describe me as responsible, respectful, funny, smart, kind, caring, and sarcastic lol. I’m sorta introverted and extroverted? It really depends on who I’m with, and I sorta don’t like being praised cuz sometimes I don’t think I deserve it. I really don’t know what else to say about myself because I’m terrible at describing myself.
I match you with.... Crosshair
Crosshair loves how cute you are, you height, hair and eye colour. He loves it all to the point he finds it almost sickly to look at you becuase he knows he will smile.
He will come up behind you and warp his arms around your waist and rest his chin on your head, but it's one go the only times you can feel the tension leaves shoulders as he lets out a sigh pulling you closer.
Man takes your glasses and puts them on shelves to high just so you have to ask him to grab them for you.
Please darw him while he sleeps he looks so peaceful, but don't tell him that after all he's a stone faced killer.
He has a bit of a sweet tooth stash him a few of your baked goods for long missions it makes being around the boys a little easier when he has a small piece of homw with him.
Not that he's really paying attention but you seem to have found some new plants as part of your collection some which you know you haven't got. But crosshair swears he doesn't know or like plants yet somehow finds ones you like and brings them back for you.
Oh the snark and sarcasm between you to is what started your romance. And now Crosshair can't get enough of you.
Expect lots of cuddles after long missions and some days just not leaving bed becuase he's got you trapped in his arms.
You hum lightly to yourself as you water your plants checking their leaves and making sure they are all still healthy. It's routine for you these day, it will most likely be a slow one. No work for a few days and time for yourself.
Your head shoots up as you hear a knock on your front door. Not expecting anyone, quickly making your way to the door you open it a little only to see a man you weren't expecting for another week.
"Cross!" You almost cry and you throw the door open and wrap your arms around his shoulders. He lets out a chuckle picking you up for a quick spin before placing you down. "Hello Sweet cheeks" he says while kissing you lightly.
Your smile and you nearly drag him inside. He rolls his eyes at you but let's you pull him inside and kicks the door closed before placing down his bag and gun case. "Your home early?, sorry I wasn't expecting you otherwise I would have made your favourite" you star only for him to silence you with another kiss.
"I'm quite content with the very sweet thing in front of me who I have missed" he mumbles pulling you into his embrace only for you to squeal as he flops down on your couch with you in his arms.
He pulls you into his lap and rest his chin on your shoulder, placing gentle kisses where ever He pleases and he relaxes with you in his arms. "Missed you" he says which makes you smile. "I missed you too Crosshair, I'm glad to have you home" you whisper.
It's quite for a while the two of you curled in on each other. Crosshair is the one to break that silence by grumbling to himself. "I need a shower badly" He states, only to make you laugh lightly.
"I'll do you one better and run a bath. Do you want the muscle relaxing salts?" You ask onyl for him to almost groan. "Yes, I love you"
"I love you too handsome." You state leaning up to press a kiss to his lips. When you go to pull away he pulls you in closer holding you closer to his body. " Cross let me go run you a bath and them you can cuddle me in there"
"Agh fine" he grumbles as he watches you leave the room.

Giving: Words of Affirmation
↳ Echo is a man of few words compared to the rest of his squad. But when he uses them, he makes them count.
↳ He doesn't hesitate to let you know what you need to hear. When you feel insecure or doubtful, he lets you know what he appreciates about you and unexpectedly, the list is rather long. When you're scared of failing, Echo tells you all the reasons you won't. When you're upset, Echo reassures you that things are going to be okay; that whatever hurts you now will pass as well or become easier to live with. He does this with 0 hesitation and he has such a calming presence that it's hard not to believe him.
↳ Echo isn't afraid of saying what he thinks. If he loves you, he'll let you know. He sees no point in hiding it or fearing rejection.
↳ He'll tell you that he missed you when you were apart... because he does. A lot. If he's on a mission without you or you stayed behind on Pabu, he will call you and let you know he's okay so you don't have to worry.
↳ Echo has a busy life and he follows his own path no matter how it may diverge from that of others. Of course, he'd appreciate if you joined his cause and kept fighting by his side, but if you don't, he'll still assure that he'll be there when you need him.
Bonus: Comfort
↳ All the Imperial ships in the Galaxy couldn't stop this man from making sure you're okay and being there for you. It's a mystery to you how he manages to infiltrate an Imperial base and somehow show up 2 hours later at your doorstep because you were sad.
↳ Echo will be there for you even when you're apart. If you miss him or aren't feeling well, he will stay on his communication device (provided he isn't currently on a mission) until you're doing better or have fallen asleep. If the latter happens, he will often go to bed like this as well, letting the familiar sound of your breathing lull him to sleep and making sure you can hear his voice in the morning when you wake up; even if he can't be physically with you.
↳ Echo's a busy man but if you need him to, he will make time for you. He takes his time to cheer you up and hold you in his arms for a while if you want him to. Echo gives you so much warmth and support, it's difficult to stay sad around him.
↳ He often puts his hand on your shoulder and smiles at you when reassuring you about something.
Receiving: Physical Touch
↳ Echo is a hugger. He found that out when Omega hugged him and it continues with you. He loves when you pull him into your embrace; the longer it lasts, the better. The first time you hugged him, he had no idea that was something you'd want to do; that he meant that much to you. But it quickly became routine.
↳ Echo loves the idea that you want to be this close to him. Sometimes when you're exhausted, tired, sad or even just haven't seen him enough for your liking, you would just wordlessly lay down on his chest or wrap your arms around him from behind, resting your head against his back. Echo loves those moments; loves that whatever happens, he's the one you seek out almost immediately.
↳ He was worried at first that his cybernetics would scare you off from initiating physical contact; that maybe they'd be too uncomfortable or cold for you. But being in his arms for the first time made you only want to be closer to him and Echo adores that fact.
↳ His favorite are soft little shoulder kisses. There's something so intimate and appreciative about them to him. Or maybe they just remind him of the first time you snuggled up to him whilst his upper body was exposed; you being able to see the cybernetics that couldn't be removed as well as the surgical scars he sustained after being rescued from the Citadel. "If it's uncomfortable I can-", he had started but you just pressed a kiss against his shoulder, smiling against his pale skin. It said everything he needed to know. "Don't worry about it. I love you."
↳ Echo also loves when you hold his face in your hands and lean your forehead against his. Sometimes you will feel the stubble on his cheek scratch against the palm of your hand because he turns his head ever so slightly to be able to place a kiss on your palm.
Bonus: Attentiveness
↳ This is a pretty big sign to Echo that you love him. The fact that you know him so well that you can tell what he needs right now, what he likes and what he feels without him even having to say anything. Any relationship you have with Echo will form slowly as both of you get more familiar and comfortable with one another and it seems somewhere along the way you picked up on his little habits and signs of distress.
↳ Echo has PTSD and there's a plethora of things that can trigger it, even in moments where he doesn't show it on his face. So he's all the more surprised how fast your hand is holding his when something reminds him of his time on Skako Minor; giving him support and reminding him that he is safe and that you'll be with him no matter what.
↳ Echo is surprised you pay this much attention to him; so much as to give him his favorite food when he didn't even tell you what it was. He didn't think at the time that he was important enough for you to notice all these little things about him; something he has learnt not to doubt by now.
Giving: Acts of Service
↳ Wrecker knows his strength is what makes him extraordinary and he's a show-off in that regard, so he's happy if he can help you out in a way that only he could and loves when he can support you.
↳ Wrecker opens all the jars for you where the lid just doesn't seem to budge. One time he got a little too enthusiastic about you coming to him for help and complimenting his strength that he accidentally used a little too much force and destroyed the jar. He felt really bad about it and offered to go to the market on Pabu with you and get you a new one that you could share together.
↳ Wrecker does all the heavy lifting for you. He carries everything that's too heavy for you with ease and hopes you find it impressive. You've felt bad about it eventually with him carrying all this stuff for you and urged him to take a break or insisted that you could do it on your own; that he really didn't have to. Wrecker just laughed and thought it was cute. "Don't worry, cyare, nothing easier than this for me."
↳ He also lifts you btw. He loves to pick you up in his arms and carry you around bridal-style. "Wrecker, I really can walk-"
↳ You just really don't want to make him feel like you're taking advantage of his strength but it makes Wrecker happy to know he has made life a little easier for you. And besides, he loves when you hug him closely to thank him for everything he's done for you and he gets to wrap his strong arms around your shoulders and hold you in his arms.
Bonus: Food
↳ It all started when Omega was tired from a mission and fell asleep on the Marauder. Wrecker decided it was best to let her rest and instead decided to take you out for Mantell Mix.
↳ Ever since then, he's realized that food makes everyone happy, so he wants to share his with you. He loves to see the smile on your face when he offers you some.
↳ Eventually he attempts to try and cook you a meal; which at first goes horribly. Crosshair walked into the kitchen and was greeted by a nauseating smell and the sight of something he described as "the unfortunate contents of a Sarlacc Pit". Wrecker just explained how he wanted to cook you something to make you happy. Crosshair huffed and took the knife out of his brother's hand, beginning to cut up some vegetables. "I can't believe you're making me do this..." "But I didn't ask you to-" "Shut up, I need to focus."
↳ Crosshair may complain, but at the end of the day he helped his brother out. Wrecker was ecstatic about the finished product; a nice and savory vegetable dish. "They will definitely love this! Though I thought maybe we could add some Mantell Mix-" Crosshair stopped him mid-sentence. "Listen, I'm only gonna say this once and I don't know if that'll stick in your tiny brain but Mantell Mix is a snack, NOT a cooking ingredient."
↳ Wrecker is still proud to present you with the dish but he eventually admits that Crosshair cooked it after he made a Mantell Mix abomination. You just laughed it off, pressed a kiss to his cheek and told him you'll show him how to make something himself eventually.
↳ Wrecker eventually becomes really good at cooking after you showed him the ropes, gently guiding his hands with yours.
Receiving: Physical Touch
↳ Wrecker is a little spoon. Full-stop. He's way too large for that but you'll have to make it work somehow. He loves to be held by you and bury his face in your shoulder.
↳ Also, back rubs. He loves them. He may be super strong but he's still dealing with muscle strain, so a nice massage makes him fall asleep faster than anything. You look down on his face and see the small smile tucking at the corner of his lips even while he's sleeping and you can't help but lean down and press a kiss to his cheek.
↳ It doesn't have to be a full-on massage either. He loves when you hold him in your arms and gently run your fingers up and down his back.
↳ Like Echo, he's also a hugger. He especially likes the ones where you basically throw yourself at him, running into his arms as if trying to tackle him. Of course, that never works but it still makes him let out a hearty laugh and lift you up in his arms, spinning you around.
Bonus: Including him in your Shenanigans
↳ Wrecker is the type of person you can include in any chaotic activities that come to mind; whether it's setting something on fire, creating a new "drink" by throwing a bunch of stuff into a mixer or pranking Crosshair.
↳ He loves to feel like your "partner in crime" and hopes that you're both able to create memories that last a lifetime.
↳ Wrecker also loves to hear you laugh, so he specifically comes up with some silly ideas to bring you joy. You think it's cute, but as long as you're with him, you have all the joy you need.
Giving: Quality Time
↳ Tech is a busy man; with how chaotic his squad is it seems he never runs out of things to fix or information to acquire. Still, if he's really attached to you, he will accept your company even during moments where he'd usually shoo everyone away so he could focus.
↳ There's something calming to him about tinkering with whatever project he's working on now and having you idly sit beside him, watching him through curious eyes. He's willing to answer any questions you might have and even repeat himself three or four times when you didn't understand his convoluted explanations the first time around. And please do ask him questions. He has so much to say but so few people who are willing to listen to it. Whether you're actually interested or simply love the sound of his voice doesn't matter much; he still loves those moments.
↳ Even the rest of the squad has noticed that Tech seems more at ease around you. Hyperfocused as he is on the ship repairs he's currently doing, you don't expect him to even remember you're there until he unexpectedly raises his head to smile at you.
↳ Tech's presence has a way of keeping you grounded; reminding you of the facts, data and the present when you're either getting so far ahead of yourself that it feels like you've left all solid ground or when you feel as though you're spiralling down a bottomless hole. Tech doesn't know he has that effect on you and if you told him, he'd probably have some explanation for it.
↳ Tech values your input and sometimes he will ask you what power converters he should get for the ship or if you'd like to listen to some music while the two of you spend time together. You don't think much of it until Hunter tells you that he literally does not do this with anyone else; that he usually just goes with whatever he considers me most effective option.
Bonus: Learning about your Passions
↳ If Tech loves you, he will familiarize himself with the things you're interested in, even if he never considered them interesting himself. He wants to understand what made you like them and how he could best support you.
↳ Tech is a very observant person. If he has taken an interest in you, he will make note of the way your face lights up when you talk about something you're passionate about. It makes him happy to see you with a smile on your face, so he decides he wants to join in on the fun.
↳ There's a couple of things that Tech definitely wouldn't do, like bungee jumping, but for most hobbies; Tech is curious to learn new things and he might even discover he likes them like he did with the racing.
↳ Tech will listen attentively when you speak about your passions and actively engage you in conversations about them; asking you questions and becoming quite fascinated with your answers.
Receiving: Gifts
↳ Tech tends to ramble a lot and over time he's gotten used to people not really listening in great detail to what he's mumbling, especially in he's focused on his work and talking to himself more than anyone else. But you listen.
↳ So Tech is quite pleasantly surprised when you one day bring home a part he needed for the ship or something he was still going to get for the mission. Not only that, you got the exact model he needed or informed yourself about which one would be best to get for him.
↳ Tech appreciates useful little gifts like that because they show that you pay attention. That you specifically went out of your way to go into town and procure whatever thing he needed without him even needing to ask. You just saw him so focused on what he was doing and decided to get that spare part yourself so he wouldn't have to interrupt his activities.
↳ Tech is surprised when you hand it to him; almost giddy as he explains to you why this is exactly what he needed. He smiles at you and gives you his sincere thanks. If you're in a committed relationship, that thanks is accompanied by a soft kiss to your cheek.
Bonus: Understanding
↳ As Tech said himself, he processes moments and thoughts differently, but that doesn't mean that he feels any less. All he could really ask for is your understanding and patience; you taking the time to learn how he expresses his feelings and shows his love for you.
↳ Tech realizes how much he wants you to stay in his life when it dawns on him that he has never felt so seen by another person as when he's with you.
↳ He might even thank you for this directly in a moment of vulnerability. You're a little taken off-guard when he pulls you into his arms and holds you close to his chest, whispering a quiet "Thank you for understanding me" in your ear, but you're certainly not complaining.
Giving: Physical Touch
↳ Hunter showing his love through Physical Touch starts with the occasional pat on the back or a hand placed on your shoulder, evolves into long hugs that still seem too short for both of you and eventually turns into him basically clinging to you when his day didn't go so well.
↳ Being close to you has started to become his way of unwinding; he loves to rest his head in your lap after a long day and have you card your fingers through his hair. He'll let out a soft hum and turn his head to the side a little to rest his cheek against your stomach, closing his eyes.
↳ Sometimes he'll fall asleep like this, causing you to let out a quiet chuckle.
↳ At night he tends to fall asleep whilst holding you in his arms, your cheek resting against his chest. You can hear his heartbeat like this and Hunter presses a kiss to your forehead. You can feel him running his fingers up and down your back until he's certain you've fallen asleep.
↳ During missions when things get dire or he doesn't have a good feeling about what's to come, he instinctively puts a hand on your shoulder to reassure you that whatever may happen, he's here for you. He'll protect you. You could be the bravest person in the world and he'd still feel like he needs to let you know that he's got your back, no matter what.
↳ Hunter also loves to kiss you. His kisses are slow but passionate and sometimes you will find him smiling against your lips as he kisses you, thinking about how lucky he is to have you in his life.
Bonus: Encouragement
↳ A side effect of raising a child who is still growing and learning about life every day is that Hunter had to learn how to be encouraging and along the way, this has become a way of showing how much he cares.
↳ He trusts in your abilities and your judgement, even more than you do yourself sometimes. If you're on a mission and you bring an idea to the table that you're convinced is the best course of action, Hunter will trust you.
↳ He doesn't want to see you doubt yourself. To him, there's nothing about you that isn't lovable and he will make sure you know that. He does his best to make you feel wanted and needed, he lets you know how much you mean to him. Hunter is proud of you and how far you've come.
↳ If he ever hears you self-deprecate, he just shakes his head and pulls you into a tight hug. It says more than a thousand words.
Receiving: Quality Time
↳ Hunter loves when you want to spend time with him. In-between the missions there wasn't a lot of downtime for both of you, so he felt honored that you wanted to spend that time in his presence. The two of you would often play games with Omega at Cid's bar or teach her something. After she had gone to sleep, you would often sit down at the bar counter with Hunter for a drink, talking about whatever came to mind. You never knew if it was just the drink Hunter had or him genuinely feeling like he could be vulnerable around you, but in those moments he was more likely to open up to you.
↳ The two of you would learn more about one another by talking like this, but once in a while Hunter would also steer towards more heavy topics such as Crosshair sticking with the Empire or the grief he felt about Tech's sacrifice.
↳ Sometimes you took a walk on Ord Mantell together at twilight, observing everything that was happening around you from the drunk misadventures of a Twi'lek man in an alleyway to the owners of a bar struggling to put the glowing neon sign back where it was after a heavy storm.
↳ Though they were rare, there were days where Ord Mantell was quieter; where the rain seemed to have washed away the tensions of the people and had drowned out their voices. During evenings like that, you would take Hunter's hand and he would smile at you from the side as you traversed the city streets in silence, hearing nothing but your own footsteps on the asphalt and the distant voices coming from the shops and markets. Hunter would eventually wrap his arm around you as the two of you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere.
Bonus: Reassurance
↳ Before the Empire, being a soldier was all Hunter had known. Now he's faced inner conflict because there were new roles that he had to grow into: that of a father, a protector for his squad from the very people they were supposed to serve, a fugitive. As a leader, faced with so many unfamiliar experiences, it was easy for him to doubt himself, especially because he realized that there were so many things left for him to learn.
↳ It was then that he needed your reassurance the most, reminding him that he was doing his best and that that was enough. That Omega could tell as well that Hunter wanted only the best for her, even if knew nothing about raising a kid at first.
↳ He's thankful for those moments of doubt when you put your hand on his shoulder and remind him that he may not be as prepared for this life as he'd like to be, but that the two of you can figure things out together; because you're here with him and you're not going anywhere.
Giving: Quality Time
↳ Crosshair may complain at first because he puts up this facade of not wanting people to bother him; because he cares a little too much. But he's been alone in a cell on Tantiss for over half a year. He's been alone as he served the Empire. He felt as though his brothers had left him behind for a while, before he learned to see things from their perspective. He craves company; he wants your attention.
↳ His instinctive reaction is to push you away but there's always a part of him that wants you to persist; to reach out to him and break through the walls he put up because you just want him that much. He hasn't felt wanted or needed or loved in a long time. The Empire deprived him of that. He doesn't even feel like he deserves these things anymore.
↳ So seeing you join him during his shooting practice over and over again makes his heart flutter. Why waste your time on him? He doesn't get it but he wants you to stay. He's miles away from admitting that though. So you have to read his intent into a couple of snarky one-liners.
↳ But how much he actually enjoys your company shows everytime you don't show up during times where you usually hang around him or when you seem to get closer to someone else. Crosshair will ask you where you've been or what's going on between you and whoever you were with with such distaste in his voice that everyone in your general vicinity can smell the jealousy and abandonment issues. Just chuckle and take his hand; tell him he doesn't have anything to worry about and he doesn't stay mad for long.
↳ Crosshair loves those idle moments where it's just the two of you, no people around. As he grows more comfortable around you, that's when he feels safe enough to let his guard down a little. To both of your surprise, conversations actually flow pretty easily between you.
Bonus: Unyielding Loyalty
↳ If you have Crosshair in your corner, you never have to worry about facing anything alone. This man has your back no matter what. If you have Crosshair's loyalty it takes a whole damn lot to lose it (apparently the line is at letting his friend die and torturing him, so you really have nothing to worry about) and he's going to defend you and stick by your side even if hell freezes over. He might complain like the cranky clone he is but his actions speak louder than words.
↳ He might even get a little too intense sometimes. There's been instances where you had to tell him to tone it down because he decided whatever argument you were having with another person was in dire need of his feisty demeanor. You definitely had to have a talk with him at some point to not butt into your business like that, even if he means well and is just trying to defend you. Crosshair respects that, but also definitely gives anyone who decides to be rude to you the death glare from across the room.
↳ Crosshair would follow you to the edge of the universe if you asked him to.
Receiving: Words of Affirmation
↳ This man soaks verbal affections up like a sponge. That's really the only thing that drives the point home that you forgive him for everything he's done, that you love him and that he deserves happiness. You could literally be holding him in your arms and part of him still wonders if you secretly hate him or plan to leave him.
↳ But tell him he means the world to you; that you love him with all your heart and you're holding his heart in your hands. He doesn't even have a snarky comeback, doesn't dare to utter anything that he normally would in order to protect himself from getting hurt; out of fear you might never say something like this to him again.
↳ He's been through a lot and he's still in the beginning phase of finding out what he wants his future to be and who he wants to become, so to hear that you believe in him and that you believe he can do anything he puts his mind to; that he deserves happiness... it means a lot to him.
↳ Being as emotionally scarred as Crosshair is, he's mostly just focusing on taking one step in front of the other, unable to imagine what the future holds for him. But if you're able to do that, if you can broaden his vision a little and give him a little hope, that can go a long way.
↳ For now, there's nothing that Crosshair loves more than hearing you say that you love him. It's so hard for him to believe that he never gets tired of hearing it. It takes him a long while to say it back. He's scared of opening his heart like that even though everyone can tell anyway. Just be patient with him, he'll get there.
↳ There'll be days where he's pessimistic. Where he'll scoff, tell you that you really don't have to pity him and go on about how much of a chore it must be to you to deal with him and his baggage. So you taking his shaking hands into your own and telling him "Not to me. Not if it's you." means so much to him. No he's not crying, he just looked into the sun, that's why there are tears. He quickly wipes them away in hopes that you didn't notice them, but you just pull him into your arms and hold him tightly.
Bonus: Protection
↳ Don't get me wrong here, Crosshair is more than capable to protect himself, but he adores when you go out of your way to defend him. It's something he'd never admit over his dead body, but if you pay attention to his reactions, you can see the light blush on his cheeks.
↳ During the battle on Tantiss you witnessed an Imperial Officer tell Crosshair he's going to be back in his cell in no time and you answered "if any of you put your hands on Crosshair again then so help me god" with a threatening tone in your voice and Crosshair's like "oh 😳" internally.
↳ This could literally have the energy of a chihuahua attempting to defend a man from Godzilla and it'd still have the same effect. It's the thought that counts really. That someone is willing to go out of their way to fight for him.
Imagen: surviving order 66 as a Jedi , wandering alone in the galaxy wondering what went wrong. And meeting your favorite clone(can be any clone), not trusting them and drawing your lightsaber ready to fight the only person you hold dear to your heart. But then they say your name so sweet and caring that you let your guard down and step into their direction.Not believing that it's them and that they don't try to kill you, they explaine what happen and why they are not affected that the other clones never meant to kill but that they were controlled. You decide to come along with them/him , and now your not alone anymore.
And those feelings that never went away for him are getting stronger and there is tension between the two of you. And after you were attacked he is angry at you for being so carless but he isn't angry at you. But rather at himself for having this feelings knowing your a Jedi and can't have attachments.
But he can't help but tell you in his angry rant about you being careful that he has feelings for you. And you shut him up with a quick and sweet kiss.
