Welcome

Tech x F!Reader

When a medic is introduced to their new crew and a certain clone catches their eye..

Notes:

First time writing in a while so don’t expect too much from me. Also this is based in Pre The Bad Batch era so all boys are here but no Omega.

Warnings: Fluff, Slightly awkward reader and Tech, no smut, that should be it.

Word count: 2.0k

You couldn’t believe it. You had finally after all these years graduated your medical classes and were going to have your very own group of clones to protect. You had always dreamed of being a medic since you were a child and now that it was happening it seemed surreal. You promised yourself zero distractions and to always put your best foot forward. Some other things seemed to catch your wandering eye though…

Pushing down your nerves as best as possible you think of all the possible outcomes that might come out of this. You had been known to talk a little too much about things you enjoy, you just had to pray this crew wouldn’t mind your talking. Maybe there would be someone similar enough to you to bond with because you did know this crew was different so to say. That’s what you had been told at least by your teacher before assignments were made. Different how? You didn’t know yet all you could do was hope it wasn’t in a bad way.

As you walk up to your assigned ship there is a long haired clone accompanied by an extremely large and tall clone in your viewpoint. Well this was about to be interesting. As you approached you saw a three more clones lingering just before the door hatch watching your entrancing with a mix of judgement, curiosity, and what was that? He wasn’t even looking he was looking at his datapad.

The long haired clone who you had previously only known as CT-9901 introduced himself as Hunter, the leader of his brothers and that he had heightened sense that of near a Jedi. The next to introduce himself was the very large but surprisingly sweet clone who goes by Wrecker. They invited you inside their ship after the introductions to be introduced to the rest of the crew.

The next clone introduction was about as smooth as you thought it would be when you saw his judgmental eye watching your ascent. His name is Crosshair, the group’s sharpshooter, but he looked more like he wanted to shoot you than even be bothered by the conversation. After the horrendous intro with Crosshair, you came to know Echo. Half clone, half cyborg which intrigued you by wanting to know the way such an occurrence happened.

“Wait Hunter I thought there was one more brother of yours?” you say while turning to look at Hunter after surveying the room. “Ah yes Tech seems to have gone back to the cockpit.” Hunter states. “Probably got scared when he saw a girl coming aboard.” Crosshair says while elbowing a snickering Wrecker. Blush immediately paints your cheeks while Crosshairs words filter through your head. “Say what now?” You question Crosshairs words while watching a smug grin appear on his face. “Ignore him let me introduce you to Tech.” Hunter says saving you from further embarrassment.

The short walk to the cockpit was more awkward than you wished. When the doors to the cockpit opened the blush that had just faded immediately returned to its home on your face. The only thought that filled your head was wow. He was one of the most attractive men you had ever met in your life. It completely and utterly shocked you that someone you thought would be so trivial, would suddenly completely encapsulate your attention in such a manner.

Your attention was immediately snapped back when you heard him speak “Hello you must be our new team medic. I am Tech the brains and mechanic of the crew and before you came along the part time medic.” He says while reaching out a gloved hand to you to shake. You take him hand wordlessly while Hunter stands in absolute shock at the fact that Tech was the one to initiate physical touch and not the counterpart. “Hello I’m (y/n) it’s good to meet you Tech and I’m sorry for stealing your spot as the part time medic of this crew” you say stumbling over your words because of how completely and utterly entranced you were.

Hunter stood unable to not hear how your heart rate had elevated while talking to Tech and how Tech’s seemed to be doing something of a similar nature which was very unlike him in any way. “It is all fine with me considering I have other very pressing matters on my hands anyway.” Tech states but then immediately realizes his mistake because you and him for some reason or another are still shaking hands making you appear as the pressing matters at hand. “Oh sorry I have just noticed It had slipped my mind to retract my hand from yours” Tech says mumbling under his breath while you just stand there growing an even deeper shade of pink. When Tech takes note of how your face seemed to flush more by the second his face suddenly appeared slightly crimson. After he realized this he immediately states “Speaking of pressing matters I have to do some inspecting of the ship see you soon and ah you to Hunter” while rushing past you and slightly bumping your shoulder causing a confused sigh to fall from your lips. Now the only thought racing through your mind was, what just happened here?

Rotation after rotation has passed since you had joined the crew you came to know as the “Bad Batch” but you felt they were quite great. Crosshair eventually warmed up to you slightly, while the others remained warm and welcoming. One man still had your eye though. Tech as he calls himself. After your first interaction he seemed willing to speak but still very reserved in an odd way, and it seemed his brothers noticed this shift in behavior too. There were whispers that he was acting unlike anything they had seen from him before. Especially when it came to routine medical checkups.

One day post mission, the routine checkups were needed like always. One after another came through until it was finally Tech’s turn. When Tech sat down it was immediately recognizable something was off. Putting your already building nervousness aside you ask “is something wrong Tech?”. Tech sits down on the medical table but immediately looks up to answer your question “Medically I believe I am fine, yes. But there are other things that appear to be at the forefront of my mind currently”. Putting down the stethoscope you had just picked up, you ask “and what may those “things” be Tech?”. He didn’t even expect you to care so with your sudden question he appears slightly uncomfortable or maybe even a touch flustered. “Oh nothing that may be of concern to you cyar-“ Tech says but stopping himself before he makes the mistake of calling you something that may make you uncomfortable. Not missing his almost slip of words a certain confidence suddenly enters you “Well if you say so mesh’l-.” stopping yourself the same way Tech did. It was hard to miss the flustered look that appeared on his face after that move.

Later that evening while drifting through hyperspace, you seemed to being falling into your previous pattern, hyperspace insomnia. While laying face up in bed trying to think of something to do an idea dawns on you. You knew Tech would be awake because he barely sleeps anyway and he was on watch tonight. Seemed as if the new plan was to go bother Tech in the cockpit. While making your way to the cockpit you accidentally trip on one of the many wrappers Wrecker leaves out after eating his rations. Hitting the ground with a hard thud and a groan you open your eyes to see a certain someone standing above you. “That was quite the fall (y/n) needs some help getting up?” Tech questions with a hand reached out to you. Immediately feeling the heat go to your cheeks you respond with a slight stutter “Uh yea sure thank you Tech.” The blush in your face dosen’t go unnoticed by Tech. Raising an eyebrow at this he asks “Are you okay? You seem to be a bit red in the face. Did the wind get knocked from you maybe?”. Tech taking notice of your current flustered state just makes the situation even worse. “I’m fine! Was coming to find you because I couldn’t sleep actually” you state in a reserved tone with your head slightly downcast. “Well I could use some company if I’m being honest. Gets boring being the only one awake sometimes” Tech says. With this agreement between you two you and Tech walk off to the cockpit. Being sure not to trip on anything else Tech takes the few steps into the cockpit first and reaches his hand out for you to grab onto while making the ascent up the stairs. “Why thank you Tech didn’t know you could be such a gentleman.” you say with a slight flirt to your voice. Tech taking notice of the shift in your tone says “The least I could do for you Cyare.” not even trying to cover up the nickname cause you to turn a dark shade of crimson before him.

Sitting down in the co-pilot, you turn the seat to face Tech. “Well how’s your night been sir?” you say with a slight amusement in your voice. Tech picking up on the use of your words responds with an equally amused tone “Night’s doing as it normally does but I would say slightly better now that you’ve bestowed yourself in my presence doctor.”. Laughing slightly by the use of the new nickname you reply casually with “Well I’m glad to be apart of it.”. A comfortable silence fills the cockpit. Not awkward just comfortable.

Tech suddenly breaks the silence causing you to jump in your seat a touch “(Y/n) I have something to tell you that I’ve been trying to remove from my everyday thoughts since the moment I met you but I just don’t believe I can do that without getting some kind of closure or acceptance.”. Slightly confused but willing to listen you say “Go on then.”. Tech takes a deep breath but then goes for it “I would love to put this simple but the way I think and the way you are is anything but simple. Every time I see you, a feeling I have never seemed to experience before takes over my normally logical mind. I’ve done my research but I still can’t pinpoint what this feeling is. I do wonder though if you feel the same way or if this is just a one way road?”. Starting at Tech in shock at his sudden confession you do something you probably wouldn’t have done if it wasn’t a mix of the lack of sleep and adrenaline coursing through your veins. You reach out and put a hand on his cheek, he tenses for a small moment but then leans into your touch. “I really don’t think you know how many rotations I’ve been waiting for you to say that.”. While talking you didn’t realize how progressively closer you had gotten until your faces were only inches from each other. “(Y/n) would it be possible for me to kiss you?” Tech says reluctantly. “I would love tha-.” You say getting cut off by his lips on yours in a tender but at the same time hungry and long awaited kiss. “I believe I know what this feeling is now mesh’la” Tech says with a warm tone just after pulling away .
