Bad Batch's Thief

Chapter 19

I woke up with a whine as I felt someone shake me awake. I hadn't got much sleep, seeing as I had been out the night earlier with the boys.

"Time to get up, Cyar'ika." A deep voice ordered.

My eyes fluttered open and I saw Hunter standing over me, a frown on his face and his arms crossed over his chest.

Hunter had made it a habit to wake me up when I overslept, seeing as I was the only one other than Tech who could cook. The others had tried to learn, but they could only make burnt toast.

"What time is it?" I mumbled as I set up.

"Midday, you've been asleep for almost 12 hours." He said motioning to the clock on the wall.

"I slept for 12 hours? I think I might still be tired, so lets go for 12 more just incase." I said as I rolled over and pulled the covers over me.

"(Y/n), that would be a coma." Hunter said with a sigh.

"Sounds festive." I mumbled into my pillow.

"Come on, don't make me get Tech." He said calmly.

I could feel the smirk appear on his lips at the mention of contacting Tech. I raised my eyes up and shot him a glare. He simply raised an eyebrow and moved his hand to his com.

It always annoyed me how mean Tech could be when he was waking us up. Tech would just start ranting about something, or he would pull you off the bed completely throwing you onto the floor.

"Spoil sport." I grumbled as I set up.

Hunter soon left, having to leave to find the others. I made my way to the kitchen and stopped when my eyes landed on my target. Crosshair was sitting at the table cleaning his gun, with a frown on his face.

"Target acquired." I thought as my eyes light up and I stalked towards him.

I had nearly made it to him when he spun around and grabbed my arm, dragging me onto his lap. I let out a yelp as I was forced to straddle him. I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck, not waiting to fall to the ground.

"Cyar'ika, you really should know not to sneak up on me." He said as he stared down at me.

"How did you know I was there?" I asked with a huff.

"I'm not blind, Mesh'la." He said as he kissed the top of my forehead.

I let out a sigh and cuddled into his chest, a smile on my face. After I while I pulled away from him and tilted my head to look up at him.

"Cross?"

He let out a hum as he played with the end of my shirt.

"Can I have a kiss?" I asked softly.

A smirk spread across his face as he looked down at me.

"Do you even need to ask." He said with a chuckle.

He tilted my chin up and without any hesitation leaned down and captured my lips with his. I quickly deepened the kiss, grabbing a hold of his shirt.

He let out a groan and moved his hands to my back, so that he could pull me closer to his chest. After awhile we pulled apart and I smiled as he buried his face in my chest and let out a sigh.

"You have no idea... how much I love you." He whispered as he closed his eyes.

"I have an idea." I said as I kissed the top of his forehead.

I felt exhaustion start to take me and I rose to my feet. I grabbed a hold of Crosshair's hand and pulled him to his feet, before I dragged him to my room. I pulled him into the bed and smiled as he laid beside me, without a single complaint.

Crosshair said nothing as he wrapped his arms around me and forced me to lay in front of him, my back to his front. I stayed a sleep for only a short time, before someone woke me up by wrapping their arms around my waist and snuggling into my chest.

"Omega?" I asked with a groan.

My eyes fluttered open and I smiled as I saw her head on my chest. I looked back at Crosshair, and found that he had a small smile on his face. I shook my head and said nothing as I wrapped my arms tighter around Omega and pulled her closer to me.

"Hey are you guys cuddling?" A voice asked from the door.

I turned my head and saw Wrecker with a giant grin on his face. I rolled my eyes and motioned for him to climb onto the bed, which he gladly did. He climbed in and snuggled into me. Before I knew it I was sandwiched between Wrecker, Omega, and Crosshair. I smiled as I felt safe and sound with my family beside me.

"Just so you guys know.... If I had to pick between saving you guys and Omega... I'd shoot you guys myself." I grumbled as I pulled Omega closer to me.

"Wouldn't doubt it for a second." Crosshair grumbled as he buried his face in my shoulder.

When the others returned they found us all asleep on my bed. And when I woke up once again, Tech and Echo where at the foot of the bed and Hunter was beside Omega. Wrecker had left to sleep in his room, there being little to no room in the bed, and Crosshair was beside me with an arm slung over my waist.
