A Pain Lost In The Stars - Complete

Chapter 28

Somewhere else…

Tech was concerned, Crosshair even though wasn't in the mood with any of them had left the bunk space from where Wrecker had laid him down only to enter the cockpit and climb into Techs lap. Tears slipping down his face, the engineer was in shock, he wrapped his arms around his lover. 

"I'm sorry.." Crosshair sobbed out, Tech instantly pulled him close. He shared a 'look' with Echo who moved closer to the emotional marksman. 

"Hunter! Help!" Omega's shout had Echo moving out of the cockpit. The older clone left the younger two in the cockpit while he worked out what was wrong with the youngest. 

"Cross?" 

"I'm sorry…I didn't mean it..." 

"Cross?"

"Please don't send me away…" 

Tech was flabbergasted, he didn't really know how to handle this. He normally didn't really handle emotional situations that were normally left to Wrecker or Hunter, the two always knew what to do. But the fact Crosshair had willingly seeked out Tech, meant the engineer was on his own. 

"Cross" 

"Please…mmph" 

Tech smiled pressing his lips to the marksmans had Crosshair looking up in utter confusion. 

"I don't know what you are sorry for but could you kindly explain…" 

"I killed you" 

"That's not true. I would not be sitting here holding you if…" 

"In my vision" 

Crosshairs blunt statement had Tech freezing, Kix had mentioned that all them years ago. Six year old Crosshair had dreams which were confirmed as Visions by Dooku. Most of them were manipulated by his powers or emotions and with the younger man being pregnant. The hormones were more than likely influencing the visions or dreams. 

"It's okay" 

"It's not" 

The two shared a smile as they stumbled over their own words. 

"Everytime I hear the voice for some reason I aim for you" Crosshair admitted in such a sad tone that it sounded as if Omega had spoken and not the normal sarcastic angry sniper of the group. 

Tech could only smile pulling Crosshair closer into his chest. "We will work it out, I promise. We are here for you and I want to apologise myself. For leaving you out and going behind your back. It was never my intention and I want to say something that I haven't mentioned. I love you Cross'ika and…mmph" 

Soft lips pressed against his in a desperate kiss, Tech found himself kissing eagerly back pulling Crosshair close. The marksman shifted to place his legs on either side of Tech’s hip, his small bump in between them. A wince left Crosshair as he felt a sharp kick but continued to press into Tech who held him close. Hormonal tears slipped down Crosshairs face as he pressed into Tech, the engineer held him tightly knowing the emotional marksman needed to let it out. In the safe space they had. After a good five minutes, Crosshair managed to pull back a bit. Tech instantly wiped away the tears.

"You okay?" Tech asked, kissing Crosshairs forehead. 

"Yes, sorry" 

"Don't apologise, you live with us lot. Your allowed to cry, it's not a weakness Cross" 

The marksman only nodded, kissing Tech again just as the cockpit door opened. 

"Sorry to interrupt, Cross, can I borrow you?"
