❤️ — How does he react to being told "I love you"?

Echo is definitely shocked, even if it happens after you got together or after it's very abundantly clear than you like him. He never thought anyone but his brothers would ever say that to him. He's so used to being just a number to the nat-borns; so used to being treated like property or like a droid. He doesn't know how to react at first. Echo.exe is not responding.

He eventually closes his eyes and leans his forehead against yours, gently taking your hand into his and whispering a barely audible "I love you too". His voice even cracks a little. If you insist you love him more, he lets out a chuckle and you can see a happy smile on his face that he doesn't show to just anyone. Remember Ben Solo's expression after Rey kissed him? That kind of smile. Echo then pulls you into a tight hug, wrapping both his arms around your shoulders and resting his head on top of yours; thinking how lucky he is to be loved by someone like you.

🧡 — Is there anything he's most excited about when it comes to spending his future with you? What is it?

Echo chose to keep fighting against the Empire and for the freedom of the clones. Whether you choose to join him or not; doing that comes with travelling the galaxy and going to all sorts of different planets. Echo wants to spend his downtime between missions exploring them with you; making memories and finding beautiful places he'll never forget. Even if you don't join him in the Clone Rebellion, he makes notes of all the places he eventually wants to take you to and make some happy memories with you that will get him through any fight that's yet to come.

💛 — What's his go-to way of brightening up your day?

This depends on if you're genuinely upset about something / feel bad or if he just wants to make you a little happier than you already are.

If it's the first one, Echo has learned to cook for himself after leaving the batch, so he might make you a nice warm soup and hold you in his embrace for however long you need it. He'll also take a relaxing bath with you if that's something you're up for, holding you in his arms. If you accidentally fall asleep on him, he either doesn't dare to move or attempts to put you to bed without you waking up. Regardless, if you're having a bad day, Echo will provide everything you need to feel better. He insists you don't have to worry about anything, he'll take care of it just as you have taken care of him so many times.

If he just wants to make you happy, he has a tendency to take you on a nice evening walk. It has become a tradition at this point, especially when he's returned from a mission you weren't on with him. The two of you would talk about anything and Echo would eventually watch the sunset with you, enjoying the fresh evening breeze and telling you that he loves you.

💚 — Does he get jealous sometimes? How does it show?

It's less jealousy and more insecurity really. He trusts you enough that he knows if you tell him you love him, you mean it. But before he knows how you feel about him? He's not sure whether you would want someone like him. A clone who's, percentage-wise, more machine than man, as Tech put it. Echo is simultaneously a pretty confident person but also has an incredibly skewered relationship with his appearance after Skako Minor (because we have to remember in S1E1 it's only been like 6 months since he was rescued, that's incredibly recent). So most of the time he's fine but if he sees you getting closer to someone else and he's alone with his thoughts, he spirals a bit. He'd never act on these feelings but you can still tell. That mood blows over pretty easily though if you reassure him that he has nothing to worry about. Echo loves you because you're kind and honest. He has no reason not to believe you.

🩵 — What can you do to help him unwind after a long day?

Honestly just cuddling with him is enough. Sometimes when Echo had a particularly taxing mission, you just laying down on his chest and him getting to hold you already makes him feel more at peace. You can practically feel his breathing becoming calmer and his muscles relaxing. If you want to do more, Echo also loves a nice back massage. He has muscle tension. Really all of Clone Force 99 does (except Tech who does actual exercise to avoid that).

💙 — How long does it take for him to trust you? How do you notice that he does?

Echo's trust is earned but that depends entirely on your actions. If you show him that you have his back no matter what, he can trust you within a week. Echo is pretty good at assessing whether he can trust someone once he spends some time with them. So in a way he trusts easily but not without reason.

You can tell Echo trusts you because he is fine with you taking responsibility for vital parts of a mission and actively wants to hear about your thoughts when it comes to the plans you discuss. You could have significantly less battle experience and skill than him; if you're part of Echo's team, you're part of Echo's team. That means you get equal say on every matter, at least if he has anything to say about it.

💜 — What's an experience he daydreams about and eventually want to have with you?

Honestly Echo just wants to see a day where all his brothers can lay down their weapons and spend their remaining days healing and finding peace. And he wants you to be by his side when that happens; to be able to celebrate that moment with you and everyone else.

Also: slow-dancing with you. He's seen people do that but he's never actually tried anything like it. He's a clone, if he's ever been invited to any festivities it was to guard them. He's not sure if he'd actually like it, but he does daydream about dancing under a bunch of pretty lights with you, wrapping his arms around your waist and resting his forehead against yours while you sway to the sound of the music, quietly talking about whatever comes to mind.

🩷 — How does he tend to show physical affection?

Echo is a hugger, full-stop. Also, leaning his forehead against yours. That's a big one for him.

🤍 — How does he confess that he loves you?

If Echo realizes his feelings about you have changed and he wants something committed with you, he takes some time to really come to terms with his feelings and understand where he wants to go with you from here on out, simply enjoying getting closer to you. Echo's a little nervous about the possibility of being rejected but he doesn't fear it. He knows if there was something to fear, he wouldn't have gotten this attached to you in the first place. If Echo loves you, you're someone who would let him down gently and be kind and respectful to him no matter what.

When it actually comes down to explaining how he feels about you, Echo waits until you two are alone and have some time, preferably during an evening walk. He tells you he needs to talk to you about something and then lets you know how much you mean to him and that he loves you. He's calm, stumbles over his words once or twice but overall it really feels like a conversation you have with someone you deeply trust. If you want a considerate confession by someone who knows what he's doing and gets straight to the point while also making it really, really sweet — Echo's your guy.

🩶 — How does he comfort you when you're sad?

I already kinda answered this with the third question but basically the same way you would pamper a sick loved one. Soup, hot bath, wrapping you in a blanket and letting you rest while he takes care of whatever you don't currently feel up for doing. He's the mum friend of the group for a reason.

🖤 — What's his biggest flaw in a relationship?

Honestly Echo works great with someone who communicates as well as he does and can always come back around to having an open and honest conversation about anything but he's completely lost if his partner has an emotional outburst or is upset / anxious about something and doesn't dare tell him what it is. If you cannot open up to him when he can clearly tell something is wrong, there's a good chance he will accidentally make it worse.

💝 — How do his friends / family notice he loves you?

His brothers notice by seeing how talkative he gets around you. Echo is usually a man of few words. He says what he feels needs to be said. So when the rest of the batch see him have like, 30+ minute conversations with you about the planet you're on or his memories with the 501st etc. they know he's attached. They will tease him about it.

💘 — What makes his heart beat faster?

Compliments and Words of Affirmation. Just genuinely making him see how much you value him with your words. Making him feel unique and special to you. You could make it cheesy as hell, he'd adore it.

💖 — What does he think is most beautiful about you?

Echo loves your smile. Especially when he sees you interact with the clones you help and spread some hope and kindness. He'll smile at you from the side and Rex gently nudges him with a slightly teasing smirk on his face.

💗 — How much does he express his love for you verbally? What does he say?

Echo says everything that needs to be said for you to feel loved and content with his affection but it isn't excessive. He assures you that he loves you multiple times throughout the day and everything else is placed where it fits. Echo doesn't go out of his way to compliment you and pour his heart out to you just because but he always finds the right words when you need him to.

He'll tell you you're beautiful if you feel insecure about your appearance or you bought some new clothes you really like. He'll tell you that you did your best and that he's proud of you when you're unsure whether what you did during a mission was enough. He'll tell you about how much he missed you when you were apart. What verbal affections you get from him depends on the situation, really.

💓 — How does he deal with being away from you for a while? What does he do when he misses you?

Echo misses you, of course. He's confident that what you have can stand the distance, but he still misses you. Not in a way that makes him sad, but his thoughts keep coming back to imagining reuniting with you and he keeps finding things everywhere that remind him of you. He'll bring you a gift or souvenir for sure.

I also said this on my Love Languages post but if the mission allows it, Echo will sometimes keep his communication device turned on at night when you go to sleep and stay in the call so that you both can feel closer to each other.

💞 — What are his hugs and cuddles like?

Echo has mastered any form of hugging. He can hug you from behind, he can hold you while laying down, he can have you lay on top of him... it always feels like being home and like the safest place in the galaxy is Echo's embrace. Echo is almost always the big spoon when cuddling with you. Except when he's doing really bad. After a full-blown, very vivid PTSD nightmare you're gonna be the one holding him.

💕 — Does he have a nickname / pet name for you? What does he like to be called?

Echo calls you by your name. He was born in a lab surrounded by clones who all got addressed by their CT-number until they were eventually given a name. Names have more meaning to him than to the average person because they're not something he sees as self-evident. Many people still see him as a number. He likes your name, he's using it.

He absolutely adores when you call him a pet name though. His favorite is cyare. He eventually gets used to it but it gets him so flustered the first few times you use it.

❣️ — What traits does he love most in a partner?

Kindness, honesty and compassion are basically a prerequisite for being with Echo. He doesn't compromise on those; Echo wouldn't start any committed relationship with someone who's not genuinely good at heart and cares about the people around them. You don't need to be the nicest person in the galaxy, he isn't either. He can get frustrated and a little grumpy at times but at the end of the day Echo has a heart of gold. He wants someone who'll treat him and other people with kindness and respect and who's able to openly and honestly talk to him.

Some other traits I could see Echo really being into are emotional intelligence, a strong sense of justice, a strong moral compass, introspection and a good general awareness and understanding of what is going on in the world around you. If he can tell you clearly spend time thinking about the state of the galaxy and the feelings of the people around you, that's something he takes note of. I could also see him matching very well with someone who has a calm and rational approach to solving problems.

I feel like Echo also really appreciates some passion, dedication and idealism; someone who looks up at the stars and whose eyes light up when talking about their dreams, with an unwavering resilience and faith that they can make them happen. For what Echo is doing; fighting for his brothers against all odds, he can really use some of that hope and he will give you some of his in return.

❤️‍🩹 — How can you cheer him up when he's not feeling well?

Hold him and read him the reg manuals. I'm serious. You know how people can find comfort in holding a stuffed animal they had since childhood even when they've long outgrown them? That's what reading the reg manuals is like to Echo. He definitely felt like you were gonna judge him for that one and he isn't mad if you do. He gets it. But it does come with a certain nostalgia that brings him comfort... even if they're objectively full of propaganda bullshit like "good soldiers follow orders". Maybe skip that part and focus on the chapters that explain the equipment and how to make a mission protocol instead. It reminds him of the nights he used to spend with Domino Squad in the barracks, reading silently and listening in on the conversations of his brothers. He misses them dearly. Revisiting something that he associates with the time spent with them helps.

💔 — What would break his heart?

I think Echo moves on from breakups fairly well. If you separate on good terms, he finds peace in the idea that you will be happier eventually and if you separate on bad terms, he knows that despite how much it hurts, neither of you would have been happy in that relationship in the long run and that it wasn't what it used to be in the beginning.

No, what would really break Echo's heart is you dying or turning on everything he stands for. Joining the Empire, killing innocents, embracing the dark side etc. That would scar him for a long, long time.

💋 — What kind of kisses does he like to receive?

Echo is a sucker for forehead kisses. He loves when you gently press your lips to his forehead or temple. He'll feel very loved and appreciated when you do that. Also I went into detail about this in this post a little more but I think he loves soft kisses to his shoulders.

❤️‍🔥 — Is he clingy? How does he act when he is?

Echo loves physical affection but he isn't a particularly clingy person. He could live without it if need be. If Echo actually clings, he's either sleep-deprived or having a mental breakdown. Sleep-deprived Echo will nuzzle your neck, mumble something incomprehensible and hug you tightly. He's not getting up anytime soon and you're not either.

Echo during a mental health emergency clings to you like you're the only thing that's holding him in this reality and if he lets go he's magically teleported back to Skako Minor. Please hold him close and assure him you'll stay by his side however long he needs you to, it'll help.

😘 — How does he kiss?

Echo's kisses are so sweet. He's so gentle with you. I think he prefers the quick pecks to your skin over drawn-out and deep kisses. It's like telling you he loves you but without having to speak.

🤕 — How does he act when you're injured?

Echo supports you however he can but he doesn't baby you. He asks you what you need and does what you ask of him; whether that's bringing you stuff, tending to your wounds, helping you get up etc. He doesn't push his help on you, if you don't want it, then that's that. Unless you're genuinely overexerting yourself, then he makes you sit down and tries to get you to listen to reason. He will however keep you company until you feel better, so long as you don't express a desire to be alone.

😳 — How can you make him flustered?

Unexpected flattery. One time you sat down around a table on Pabu with the rest of the batch and Lyana told Omega about a story she read. Omega asked her what exactly a hero is. Lyana explained that it's a person of distinguished courage or ability, admired for their brave deeds and giving their all to fight for what's right. And you added "yeah, like Echo!" so loud that the whole table heard it and the poor guy almost choked on his drink. The rest of the batch were having the time of their lives.

🗣️ — What compliment would mean a lot to him? How would he react?

I think this goes for any of the clones but anything that makes him feel special to you. He was made to die as a face in a crowd; forgotten by the rest of the world. To the Kaminoans and large parts of the Republic, the clones were sacrifices for war; nothing but numbers and copies of one another. But to you he's so much more. Irreplaceable. Unique. And he has to admit he didn't know how much he craved feeling like that until you made it happen.

Also compliment his appearance. I like to think Echo already knows he's handsome and gets hit on pretty much as soon as he sets a foot into 79s but I think after everything that happened to him on Skako Minor, his mind switches back and forth between feeling insecure about his appearance and feeling confident. To hear you call him beautiful really tips the scale towards him being at peace with it. The words leave your lips and you can already see a soft smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Also I think complimenting his bravery and the dedication he has to helping others means a lot to him as well. He went from rigidly following orders to making big decisions for himself and the fate of the Clone Rebellion and sometimes he feels a little lost; like he's falling without a safety net. The path he chose is so different from the rest of the batch, it means a lot to him that you think he's made the right call.

💤 — How do you sleep together (like, actual sleep)?

Echo tends to have his arms wrapped around you and holds you with your face buried in his neck. He rests his chin on top of your head and gently runs his fingertips up and down your back until you've fallen asleep. Sometimes you will rest your head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat, the sound comforting you and making you feel safe.

Echo feels a little bad about all the times he accidentally woke you up by jolting awake from a nightmare he had. He even made it very clear that he wouldn't be mad if you wanted to sleep in a different room than him; he understands wanting to have a peaceful sleep. But you want to be there for him; hold him tightly until his breathing calms down after the nightmare. You'd softly whisper to him that you're with him and he's safe and that you won't let anything hurt him. There's a good chance Echo can handle himself better than you could protect him, but he still appreciates the sentiment. He knows you mean it.

😈 — Does he tease you sometimes? If so, how?

Echo isn't much of a tease. He got nicknamed killjoy by Cid for a reason. But if he's cuddling you and feels a little playful, he might press some soft kisses to parts of your skin where you are ticklish. He likes to hear you laugh. He'll let out a chuckle when you gently swat him away, going back to resting his head on yours.

Also he has definitely put his cold metal scomp onto your exposed waist before to get you to shriek.

💥 — How does he react when someone else upsets you or is mean to you?

Well, Echo will definitely comfort you until you're no longer upset. How he acts towards the person who hurt your feelings depends on how much you want him to step in. Could be anything from a fist fight like in Episode 1 on Kamino to just keeping his distance and letting you handle the conflict yourself. Echo is always ready to fight for you but only if you're okay with that. He doesn't intrude where his input isn't wanted.

👀 — Does he stare at you sometimes when you're not looking? Why?

Echo is a very observant person. If he's taken an interest in you, he sometimes looks at you from across the room as you do your own thing, seeing how you will react to things and what little habits you display. Seeing you being kind to others is always something that makes him smile. His eyes definitely lingered on you for a little longer quite a few times when you helped others, being lost in thought about your kindness. Rex had to tap his shoulder so Echo even noticed he was being spoken to.

🌺 — Would he like to receive flowers? What flowers would be best for him?

Echo would love flowers, please give him flowers. He has no idea how to react but it makes him feel so special.

I'm not too familiar with flowers in the Star Wars universe, but if we're talking Earth flowers: Burgundy Roses. They symbolize love, longing, passion and unconscious beauty. You'd basically be telling him he doesn't even know how beautiful he is.

😰 — What's a fear he has when he gets attached to you?

Losing you. It's something that makes him wonder whether getting this close to you is even a good idea at first, until he thinks about it a little more and realizes you'd both have a lot more regret if you never got to be happy together. But losing you or seeing you lose him is something that happens in his nightmares sometimes. He tries to push that fear out of his mind as best as he can.

🌷 — How does he enjoy spending time with you? What activities do you do regularly?

As I said, probably sightseeing on the planets you visit to help other clones; getting souvenirs and gifts for the rest of the batch. You repeatedly have to tell Echo to stop inspecting the local food like it's a projectile or something before putting it in his mouth because people are staring already.

He also likes to take some nice walks through nature with you. On rainy evenings you snuggle up to Echo in a spaceship seat that's big enough for both of you and the two of you pick something to read together. If you have the time, Echo also likes to cook with you rather than buying food. At least if he prepares it himself, he can trust it.

🎁 — What kind of gifts would he give?

Well with Echo it's either something really thoughtful or a deadly weapon. Depends on the day really. For big occasions like an anniversary it's both sometimes. You unwrap a present that's just like,,, a beautiful necklace with a symbol that means something to you in a color that Echo said reminds him of your eyes and then he's like "open the second one" and it's just this massive badly wrapped "surprise" that's clearly a missile launcher. He loves you and he wants you to be able to protect yourself. Still, the duality is jarring.

😂 — Does he joke around with you? What do you laugh about?

It's Echo. He makes a joke like once a month and it's something like "Is there an echo in here?" "I'm Echo" when you least expect it. It cracks you up every time. He does chuckle and laugh about shenanigans you participate in though.

✨ — What's a quirk of his that takes some getting used to?

Sometimes when you compliment him or say anything to him that he doesn't know how to respond to he still just kind of... repeats it. It takes some getting used to but you've always found it endearing. It's just one of the many things that make Echo himself. And you love everything about him.

😒 — Does he hold grudges? How easily does he forgive after a fight?

Echo can hold grudges for a lifetime if there is no closure but if you talk things out with him he almost always lets it be water under the bridge. Unless you did something he considers deeply morally wrong, Echo forgives easily but not without a genuine apology and an attempt to do better. He's pretty reasonable about it.

🗯️ — How open is he with you? How good is he at communicating?

Echo is good at communicating as long as you're willing to do that. If he's so close to you that he considers a committed relationship with you, he sees no reason not to be open with you. Echo's the type of person you can talk to about anything. He's compassionate and sweet; there's no need to fear being ridiculed or judged by him for your feelings. If there's anyone you can 100% trust with your heart it's Echo. He's not always the most talkative person, but he has a lot of emotional intelligence and he navigates calm and honest conversations effortlessly, especially if you take the time to sit down with him in a safe space and focus on working through whatever is troubling you.

🤐 — What's something he struggles to talk to you about?

Echo struggles to talk about his feelings, his PTSD and his time on Skako Minor; but this is just something he struggles to talk about with anyone. It's not specific to you. However, once you've witnessed his strong exterior crack and are there for him to talk about his feelings with him, he trusts you enough to open up to you about it. It gets easier to talk about it with you as time goes on and your bond grows.

🎶 — What song describes a relationship with him?

The song I picked for a relationship with Echo is "We're not gonna fall" by Daughtry (just my favorite band ever). The lyrics for me represent the bond of two people who fight by each other's side, for one another and for a brighter future; which is fitting for Echo's journey as well as his commitment he would have to a partner.

❝ just when these four walls try to cave in and the ground underneath starts shaking it's the hope in your eyes that I cling to and I hope to god it never leaves you. after all this time we're not gonna fall now. [...] even if they come for us; everything can turn to dust, you and I are never going down. ❞

🧠 — How often does he think about you?

Echo has a busy life and he's always rushing from one task to the next. He thinks about you when something reminds him of you, which happens pretty frequently. Even on missions where you're not with him he sometimes assesses the situation and imagines what you would say or do if you were beside him right now. When he's alone, thoughts of his time on Skako Minor tend to come up, so he tries to distract himself by thinking about you. He always falls asleep thinking about you.

🛡️ — How protective is he of you?

This is Echo we're talking about. The guy who knew Omega for a day and a half and went "Harm her and you're a dead man". He's very protective. He would defend you with his life and he wouldn't hesitate to fight for you when you need it.

🗡️ — How does he feel about you fighting beside him / for him?

Echo may be very protective, but he's not the kind of protective that would cause him to try and keep you out of a fight. If you want to come along and join his cause, that's your decision and he will respect that. Besides, when you're apart you just worry about each other's safety. It's a dangerous galaxy with the empire on the rise and at least if you fight together, you can protect each other and have each other's back.

⭐ — How would he try to impress you?

Well, sometimes he's just going to show off that ARC Trooper training. He's cool as hell and he knows it. He tries to impress you by standing up for what he believes in and putting up a good fight on missions.

Additionally, Echo's not very used to wearing something that isn't armor or some type of practical gear provided to him by the Kaminoans but once he takes a liking to you he keeps looking at clothes he sees and briefly thinking "Okay would they like this?" He doesn't really know what he's doing but he decides to try something new once in a while and it always ends up looking very good on him. Nothing extravagant or excessive, but you're the catalyst for Echo finally getting into casual clothes. He gives you a brief and friendly "Thank you" when you compliment him on his look but he's secretly feeling a little giddy inside.

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. 

Hello there. Could I possibly get a matchup with the Bad Batch? If ur still doing it that is...

I’m 5’8 with short brown curly hair. I’m kinda skinny (only because i have an eating issue) with a slim structure. My eyes are a weird colour, mixed with green, blue with a orange/brown ring around the iris (no it’s not hazel). I enjoy art, listening to music, writing, crafts, and just about anything that I can create. I enjoys cities, especially at night but I do enjoy nature during the day. My favourite season is winter and autumn. I’m not very confident and i tend to stutter and get lost for words, can’t always say what’s on my mind because most of the time I’m not even sure what’s going on up there. Im more of a listener than a talker although when I get really interested in something I’ll talk for hours. I’d say I’m a curious soul with an understanding heart. Im a mix between an extrovert and a introvert. Who is sleep? Never met them. I love coffee and tea, mostly tea (earl grey). Bit of a sweet tooth. Tend to do little dances when I’m happy. I like to chew if things, especially when anxious or stressed. I’m pretty chill with anything and everything. Not a fan of loud noises or yelling as it sometimes scares me. And I’m a hoarder/collector, I hoard almost anything and everything. Lol sorry if this is a bit much, ty. Hope u have a nice day/night :)

I bad batch match you with...Tech

-Tech isn't very social so it's almost a miracle when Hunter somehow gets you two to work together. At the start your both very quite not talking much to each other other then asking for each other to pass different items to each other.

-tech towers over everyone is 6'4 he maybe a bit of a nerd but he's a strong tall nerd.

- alot of things fascinate him, your eyes being one of them. He loves the colours to them, you have on many occasions caught him 'studying' you.

- he really enjoys having you help him and doesn't feel pressured into having to talk but once you both open up there is no way to get you to stop.

-late nights up reading, working and chatting over anything that comes to your minds

-Tech understands that sometimes it's hard to talk, he's been shot down may of times when talking about things he enjoys or knows. So he in very patient with you. He tries not to info dumb on you to much.

- He will routinely make you tea/Caf when he makes his of a morning

-the first time he sees you do a lit trle happy dance he knows he's in love with you. It wasn't over anything important but a little tho g that he had made for you or helped you with. He's a love struck man. He's the defection of leaning on his hand staring love struck at you.

- he doesn't have the courage to tell you so Crosshair is the one who 'bullies' him into telling you with the. "If you don't tell them then they are free game"

------

Tech's eyes never leave their form as he watches them do a happy little dance down the main hall of the Havoc Marauder.

Tech rest his chin on his gloved hand and smiles his eyes following them as they chat with hunter. He can see them use their hands as they talk excitement written all across their face.

A shadow cast over his face and his eyes flick to Crosshair who Takes a seat on the other side of him. Tech raises an eyebrow to the sniper.

"You know that the boys and I have a bet running over when you are going to ask them out" he says, he rolls the tooth pick across his teeth and keeps his eyes on watching down the hall.

Techs eyes widen as he shifts his body to be facing his brother. " If you don't do it tech one of us boys will, they are nice and like you. It's the reason I haven't made a move on them, but if you don't pull it togethe. I will" Cross says his eyes landing on tech this time.

Tech looks to the table and anywhere so that he doesn't meet Crosshairs gaze. Tech stands up and makes his way over to where 'they' stand near Hunter.

Tech clears his Throat, Hunter smiles and gives a quick nod before walking back to the cockpit. Tech grabs their hand gentle making them look to him. "Can I have a word in private with you?" He ask looking to Crosshair as a way to tell him to leave.

Crosshair gets up and walks to the cockpit where the rest of his brothers are. He turns to look back down to them.

He can feel his nerves on fire, he shouldn't be this worried all the data and information he had collected had proven that he had a 94% chance of them saying eyes when he asked but is always that 6% that scares him.

"Tech?" His eyes shoot back to him as they smile up to him. " Tech are you alright?" They ask lightly. He nods before letting out a sigh. He closes his eyes.

When he opens his eyes again he takes a breath trying to get the courage to ask finally.

"May I kiss you?"

"Of course you can!" They laughed, their arms reach up and grab the front of his blacks to pull him down to them. His lips press agaisnt theirs awkwardly but he doesn't let go. His arms moving to wrap around them. He pulls them closer breaking the kiss to smile at them.

"Took your time tech" hunter calls out from the hall.

Wrecker looks almost broken as Crosshair nudges him "you owe me 3 credits now Wrecker" the sniper says.

"Leave them alone the lot of you" echo away a from further in the ship.

Hi! I saw that you were doing Bad Batch matchups and it’s been my Hyperfixation for a long while jdbchbshzbs

Im female, 19, 5’8, curly shoulder length black hair, dark brown eyes, and medium skin. I wear cat eye glasses since I love the look of them and just over all think glasses look best on me and I love the retro look. I’m a little bit chubby but also curvy with a large bust im embarrassed by sometimes along with being chubby. I absolutely love art and baking and try to do both whenever I can since I relax from them and learning more and more about how I can improve my skills even more as well. I also tend to let my friends see my new art or bake them treats to see what they think about them over all! I have a really feminine style, mostly florals, pinks, and sweaters, but I always keep it comfortable.

Personality wise I’m admittedly very reserved and quiet, but nice when I meet people, mostly because I like listening to them first to get a feel for what they’re like to see if I can be myself around them. It takes me a little bit to open up about myself but it’s definitely not impossible. But if someone mentions something I’m interested in I instantly open up and start gushing about it and wanting to know what they like about it and info dumping a lot and getting into things I made related to them or explaining why it’s special for me. But I’m the other hand I do get embarrassed/sad when I can tell they’re not interested in what I’m saying or if i think Im being annoying for talking about things that comforting to me. My friends mostly say I have a comforting aura (They call it mom energy lmao) about me since I’m constantly checking up on them and making sure that they’re taking care of themselves and supporting them however I can. Another thing that adds on to that is that I like giving hugs (with permission) just because sometimes.

One thing I’m definitely guilty of is taking care of others before myself. I get so caught up in supporting my friends, helping them out however I can, and just over all comforting them that sometimes I can forget about my own needs sometimes leading to burn out, leaving me just extremely tired. Another thing that leads to burn out very easily is when I’m hyper fixated on something, like a new game or comic im really into so I surround my hobbies around them and activity make content for myself with them for weeks on end until I finally burn out from it and the cycle starts again with something else. While I like being productive with something, especially my hobbies, sometimes I just like laying down or relaxing with the presence of someone in the room or even on the phone with me. Just being in each other’s company is definitely enough for me but having a conversation or two definitely doesn’t hurt at all ^-^

But yeah that’s about everything!

Hahah yea I'm having fun doing match ups along with the 50 to 1 lines for mini fanfics. So on we go!.

I match you with.... Wrecker!

Wrecker absolutely loves your body!, he loves wrapping his large hands around your hips and pulling you close. He will do it when he comes back from missions or if he sees you in the kitchen cooking/baking. It's one of his favourite things to do.

Man can lift you with one arm, will sweep you off your feet spin you around before he kisses you. Wrecker just likes holding you close it makes him feel complete.

Will throw you on the bed before flipping down on it, also sorry but Wrecker has broken so many of your beds by just flopping down on them.

He will tell you all about the missions he went on, about what they did, where they went. He just loves talking about it. The both of you will talk thought the night until one of you falls asleep first.

You sleep on wreckers chest. I don't make the rules. Your bed just isn't made to fit you both beside each other. So he pulls you on top of him and uses his chest as a makeshift bed for you.

Will draw and trace patterns all over your back or stomach. It's one of the times he isn't loud over everything becuase he's at peace and has you in his arms.

He loves that you check on him when ever you can while he is away, every time you Comm in her got a smile on his face and the other boys will tease him but he will all let them know that he's the one who has a Cyar'ika.

Play fights are inevitable he is very gentle but maker does he love picking you up and rolling aroudn with you agaisnt his chest as you struggle to get out of his hold.

___________

It's a peaceful night tonight, Wrecker and the rest of the bad batch had made it back home safely. And that's how you had ended up in this position. Head rested against Wreckers chest as he runs his fingers thought your hair.

"And they I got to blow up the nest and it's queen" wrecker continued his story, the smile never leaving either of your lips.

"I'm glad you had a fun mission Wrec, but I'm also glad to finally have you home" you whisper pushing your face further into his chest.

Wreckers laugh vibrates thought his chest, his arms slowly wrapping around your waist as he rolls you both over.

You shout his name and laugh as he begins to press kisses all over your face. You try to swat him away but it just results in him doing it more.

You finally get a gap and take you chances slipping from his grasp and bolting to the other side of the room. " no fair! Come back here Cyar'ika" he says moving front he bed to try and Corner you.

It's not a hard task with his size and he grabs you lifting you up and spinning you around. You laugh again as he flops onto he bed making it almost collapse. "Wrecker! Gentle baby!" You say looking up to him.

The goofy smile on his lips and his eyes never leaving you. " How did I get so lucky to have you Cyar'ika" he ask pressing a soft kiss to your lips.

Hey uhhh, I saw my sister do the bad batch match up thing and I was hoping you could match me up too? I’m super bad at this stuff so imma just go off,

I’m 5,4 and usually seen as a naturally angry kinda person (kind of like some goblin with anger issues) My eye colour is green and my left eye has a red coloured stripe in it bc I’m built different apparently. I have dark brown hair cut short, and I aspire to become a tattoo artist so I tend to sketch a lot. I have a resting bitch face but a good sense of humour. I like to make people laugh so I make a lot of dumb jokes because I love it when people let their guard down enough to see the fun side of them. I hate being bored and I usually have trust issues when it comes to men. I’m a sci fi nerd, I’m bad at math, my favourite insect is bees, I collect animal bones and I have a tattoo of a lemon on my ankle.

I’m not sure wether you are even going to do this but it would make my day if you do.

:)

I match you with......

Tech

- Tech is the calm to your storm. He's the voice of reason when everything goes to shit. And he loves you for it. He needs someone who will tell him if he's doing something wrong, not getting enough sleep and such.

-your eyes are what catch him the most, they are very mesmerising to him, he loves staring into them when he's laying beside you.

-the both of you share a resting bitch face, and joke between each other. Alot of his jokes are science based and he doesn't make them often but when he does they are good jokes.

- he loves looking over your drawings and is very tempted to ask you to draw him one to get. Tho he doesn't quite know if be is ready for one he would like one, one day.

- he does ask the meaning behind the tattoo you have becuase it to him is interesting.

____________

"Are you sure this is sanitary?" He ask over his shoulder only to have them push his head back a little.

"Tech calm down, I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't know what I was doing, these are alot Easier to use then tattoo guns" they reply getting the laser set. Tech still moves fidgets until their hand comes to lay across his back.

" Tech, babe calm down. It's just a laser it's going to put the pattern on your shoulder ok. I'm here the whole way. Or would you like me to go get hunter to hold your hand" they laugh. He shoots them a look and scoffs.

"Don't you dare" he growls but then the air cuts off as they move to sit on his lower back. He almost chokes when he feels their hands run up is back. "Thats it Tech, relax this shouldn't take long"

They line up the laser and the prossess begins. Tech let's out a light his, his body tensing up before the hand on his back soothes him again.

"Your doign great babe, let me tell you these laser tattoos are so much better then the tattoo guns we use back home. Some times the prossess can take hours. This should only take about tten minutes at most" they reply as the continue tracing the laser of Tech's skin.

"I kinda like you like this Tech. On your stomach, at my mercy" they chuckle when makes him huff out a laugh.

"Your being a pest Y/n" he says. His body going tense when ever the laser traces a particularly tender spot.

"Well, well, well, Tech's finally getting Himself some ink and action" a voice says, Crosshair makes his presence known as he leans against the wall watching them both.

"Kriff Off Crosshair" Tech says, Y/n laughs lightly at that. Said sniper leaves with a grumble. Tech and Y/n stay in the same spot for another few minutes finishing off the tattoo.

They pat his back and moves to get off the table so he can sit up. " Well your all done now Tech" I hope you like it. Tech pulls himself up from the position.

Tech stands up chest bare and Goggles left on the bench his hair ruffles and curly. Y/n smiles looking to him. "you look like a sight handsome"

He moves to stand infornt of them, he towers over them as his hand comes to rest under their chin and tilt their head up and gentle pulls them into a kiss.

"Ahh get a room you too!" Wrecker yells as he walks past.

I’m extrovert but also introvert it’s weird but I’m very loud I talk really loud and I’m always cracking jokes or saying something sarcastic but if I say accidentally say something rude I immediately feel really bad even if it’s not that bad and say sorry at least 20 times. I love taking with new people and always telling them weird stories about me or something or ask them questions about anything. I have a pretty bubbly personality. I am very clumsy today I literally fell down the stairs and that’s something that happens a lot or you can se me tripping on my own feet sometimes. I’m curious about anything and I’m always asking myself questions and always thinking. I daydream a lot like all the time in cars, school, restaurants and people always have to snap me back to “reality”. I’m an over thinker and over think everything. When I’m with my friends I usually put music and we just dance for fun but I’m always there when someone needs me I’m very empathetic I really connect with people and help them through any issue they need. I have ADHD and I can never really Finnish my sentences because I always get sidetracked with anything or get distracted with anything. I’m very smart definitely above average especially in reading I love reading it’s my favorite thing to do in the world I love reading romance novels too it’s just amazing. I also love watching romcoms or musicals but if you watch a musical with me I’m gonna be singing every song especially if it’s mamma Mia or high school musical I am also absolutely terrified of horror movies but I still watch them. I’m really into Astrology and astronomy (is that the same thing?) like this one time when I was bored i memorized all 88 constellations anyways sidetracking, my zodiac sign is a Virgo my favorite animal is either a butterfly or an elephant my favorite color is yellow or purple and my favorite band is Queen. I love nature, plants and flower they really fascinate me and I read a lot about them. I love knitting and making cardigans too. I am very oblivious like very oblivious it’s kinda embarrassing. Any I love cuddles and holding someone’s hand or anything or leaning into people.

I hope your alright!,I knwo this is late but it's never fun falling down anything

I match you with.... Echo

Compared to all the close toy are very short and Echo wouldn't have it any other way.

Your easy to hold he can lean agaisnt you, and pull you in for hugs as he pleases.

Man loves brushing your hair our of your face and just smiling at you and pressing light kisses to your skin. He loves how the light catches in your eyes and they look like melting butterscotch

You have scared him and the rest of the batch with taking contact lenses out. They fear you and the power you have to touch your eye.

He really wants to learn how to do your hair for you, he may only have one hand but please let him try and learn so he can do yours and Omega's in cute styles.

Echo has changed alot since his time as a Reg he used to be alot more shy and introverted relying on Fives input until he finally felt more comfortable speaking his mind.

These days Echo is more an extrovert but does enjoy his alone time. He's learn to speak up and argue with people when need be. He may pull an offend face at something you say before he smiles at you and laughs.

He loves answering your questions to the best of his ability. If hesitant know somethign he will ask Tech so he can learn something to share with you.

He seems to have an instinct of knowing when your gonna trip, fall or drop something and he's always there to save you or whatever you almost drop. Hunter is quite impressed.

He will try to pick up romance, adventure and fantasy novels, holos for you whenever the batch is planet side. He also loves reading to you if your two tired to read yourself.

"Easy Cyare, Your gonna hurt yourself if your not careful" Echo says lightly helping you stay upright after tripping over. You let out a soft Laugh as your hands grip onto his shoulders "thank you Echo. Don't know what is do without you" you say lightly only for him to help you set down. He is quick to move to take a kneel in front of you to check the bleeding of your knees.

"That's some nice bleeding you have their sweetheart, let's get you patched up. Don't need you bleeding out on us" he says lightly with small chuckle. He moves around the room quickly picking up the equipment he needs to clean your wounds. He moves back to take a seat in front of you.

"This is going to sting a little but it's better then getting infected" he states as he wipes a small cloth wirh disinfectant across the scrapes. It stings as he wipes the blood away but you stay quite as he cleans everything. He grabs a bandage and gets you to hold one end as he begins to wrap it around your knee. Once the First is finished he moves into the next one.

Once he is finished he hold his hand out to you, to help pull you up to stand. "Lets get you to bed, we dont need you falling over again do we". You roll your eyes at him bit let him lead you towards the small bunk.

He's gentle placing you down and taking a seat beside you. " We really need to get you some knee guards or better yet some bubble wrap" he teases only for you to lightly punch his shoulder.

He laughs light pulling you to rest agaisnt his lap. " Sorry, I couldn't help myself, but please try not to hurt yourself anymore. Would hate to have to get Tech to stitch you all back together. Don't need you ending up like me." He reply as he leans down and places a kiss to your forehead.

"Nothing wrong with you Echo, you just have a few extra mods that's all. Beside it gives you more personality" you shoot back at him only for him to fake a wounded expression. "Oh so it's the extras you like and here I thought you liked me for my witty comments and good looks" he snarks only to begin tickling you.

"Echo!, echo stop I can't breath!!" You laugh and he rolls onto you trying to hold you down as he presses lighthouses across your face. When he finally let's you breath your panting and giggling while you rest your head on his chest.

"I think Fives would be proud of you, your not as much a stick in the mud as you used to be" you state as you lean up to press a gentle kiss to his lips. "Yea, I miss him. I think he is proud, we suvived the war. He's be rubbing it in our face if he were here. That or causing Chaos" he chuckled the last part. He wraps his arms around your torso as he pulls you closer.

"Im glad your still here"
