Bad Batch's Thief

Chapter 23

We made it to the kitchen and I plopped down beside a hung over Crosshair and Echo. Echo was arguing with Tech, who had a frown on his face.

"I wasn't that drunk last night." Echo grumbled out.

The night before was the anniversary of when I first met the guys, so we had went out to celebrate, leaving Omega with Phea. Both Crosshair and Echo had gotten wasted, leaving us to take care of them.

"You were flirting with (Y/n)." Tech said with a frown.

Echo let out a huff and crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back in his seat.

"So what? She is my girlfriend." Echo grumbled out.

"You asked her if she was single." Tech said with a smirk.

"And then you cried when I said that I wasn't." I said as I walked up to him.

Echo went silent and then his eyes went wide, causing me to laugh. I patted his back and he let out a groan as he laid his head on the table.

"At least you weren't as bad as Crossy." I said as I let out a laugh.

"We don't discuss what I did." Crosshair grumbled out.

"Hold on, what did he do?" Echo asked as he raised his head up.

"He-"

"(Y/n), I mean it, don't." Crosshair growled as he glared at me.

"Crosshair told Hunter that he loved him-"

"That's it! Come here!" Crosshair exclaimed as I jumped to my feet.

I let out a laugh as he chased me thru the house.

It was still hilarious how I found myself teasing Crosshair. You'd think that we'd have grown up and stopped teasing each other. But I found that our whole relationship was passed on us both picking at each other.

After awhile I found myself pinned down onto my bed, Crosshair above me. He pinned my hands above my head with a smirk.

"Caught you." He said with a chuckle.

"I guess you did, now what's your move, big guy?" I asked with a smirk.

His eyes narrowed and he stared down at me. He thought it over for a second before leaning down and capturing my lips with his. I let out a moan and quickly reciprocated the kiss. It wasn't until we heard someone clear their throat that we both pulled apart. We turned our heads to look at the door, and was greeted by the sigh of Tech watching l us, a look of annoyance on his face.

"The door is wide open." He said as he leaned against the doorframe. "So unless you want to explain sex to Omega, I suggest you both stop."

"Right... sorry Tech." I said as Crosshair climbed off of me.

"We weren't going to have sex. Just making out." Crosshair grumbled as he fixed his shirt.

"Of course you weren't." Tech said as he rolled his eyes.

Crosshair pushed past him as I set up and stretched. I let out a yawn and Tech turned to look at me. I smiled as an idea hit me and I set up.

"You know, I could go for a nap. Want to join-"

I was cut off by him shutting the door. I smiled as he walked up to me, allowing me to grab a hold of his hand and pull him down onto the bed. He let out a sigh as I laid my head on his chest.

"Get some sleep, Cyar'ika." He whispered as he kissed my forehead.

It was rare for me and Tech to cuddle, seeing as Tech loved his personal space and was almost always busy doing something for someone.

I have a small nod and closed my eyes as I listened to his heart beat.

"Tech.. can you make me a promise?" I asked as I drew shapes on his chest.

"Of course." He said as I let out a sigh.

"Should something ever happen to me... make sure that no one blames themselves." I said as I looked up at him.

"Nothing will happen to you."

"But there is always a chance.. so please... promise me."

"I promise, I'll look out for everyone." He said as he kissed the top of my head.

"Thank you, Tech." I said as I closed my eyes and cuddled into his chest.
