Tech x Female Jedi Reader

Us

Note: First, I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while!! Like I said, I haven't had much time to write. I know this chapter is super cheesy lol. I just wanted to write some action but also a lot of fluff since I know y'all love it. Also, this is what this chapter's creature is: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Anooba.

You wake up right next to Tech.
"Did we fall asleep?" You say quietly.
He feels around for his goggles and puts them on. "I think so."
You try to remember what happened last night, but all you can remember is the mission.
"What happened?" You ask.
"I think we were so tired after that mission that we just fell asleep." Tech responds.
You reach over him to get his datapad. It's late in the morning.
"We should really get up." You say, showing him the time.
He sighs, stretching his arms. "We should, but do you really want to?"
You laugh softly. "No. I guess we can just wait for Wrecker to burst in here."
You lay down again and put your head on his chest, looking up at Tech's face.
"You're so beautiful." He comments as he plays with your hair.
"I just woke up, Tech." You say.
"I'm telling the truth, Y/N." He says genuinely.
You smile. "I wish we could stay here forever."
"We can't stay forever, but we can sure try." Tech says.

You're startled not by Wrecker opening the door, but by the fact that he knocks on the door which he never does.
"Are you guys ready for the mission?" Wrecker asks.
"We will be soon." Tech says.
You two get dressed and ready for the day. You put your lightsaber on your belt. You smile as you look at the custom hilt Tech made for you. He sits down in his chair in the cockpit and eats some rations.
"You two practically collapsed last night..." Hunter chuckles.
"Neither of you even turned off the lights." Echo says.
"Why were we so tired?" You ask. "I- I've never been that tired. I've just kept going."
"Maybe you just needed a break. I've never been sore like this before." Hunter replies.
"Amateurs." Crosshair smirks.
"Stow it, Crosshair." Echo says, rolling his eyes.

The weather on the planet your mission is on is hot. You're in a sort of desert area in a canyon. You've retrieved the supplies, but you still need to bring it back to the ship. It's a long way back since the supply area is deep in the desert. You hear a loud roar. 
"What was that...?" Omega says, hiding behind Wrecker.
"I'm not sure-" Hunter begins as he gets attacked by an anooba.
"Hunter!" Omega yells.
More of the creatures come closer and surround you, snarling.
"What are these things?" You say, turning to Tech.
"They are anoobas! They are carnivorous creatures native to desert planets in the Outer Rim!" Tech yells.
Once again, the squad's blasters do nothing to these creatures.
"Our blasters don't work on anything!" Wrecker groans.
You take out your lightsaber and ignite it. There are about 12 anoobas around you. 
"Tech, hand me your droid poppers. They should shock them and give us enough time to get out of here." You say.
"Good idea. Here." Tech responds, handing you a few.
The droid poppers take out about half of the creatures.
"She's going to save the day.... again." Crosshair sighs.
"You'll get your chance, Crosshair." Hunter reassures him. 
You charge towards the anoobas to attack them.

It's fairly easy for you to injure the remaining creatures just enough to where you can have a chance at escaping. 
"You never fail to amaze me," Tech states.
"Yeah, yeah. We need to get moving in case they come after us. Come on!" Crosshair says.
You pant as you run towards the ship. Your lungs hurt from all the action. You look behind you and see the creatures aren't following you. You slow down and stop to catch your breath. 
"How have we managed to get out of all of these situations every time?" Tech wonders.
"You're asking that now?" Echo says. "It's been like this for... well, forever."
"Maybe we're a lucky squad." Omega shrugs.
"I think it's because of you." Tech whispers to you.
"Oh, please. You've been great without me. I would always here the regs chatting about your 100% mission success rate in the hangars." You whisper back.
"They... actually talked about us?" Tech says, looking surprised.
You nod. "Yeah. I just wish you would've been around more so I could've met you sooner."
Tech interlaces his fingers with yours. "Well, we're here now."
You look ahead and see that the squad is far ahead of you. 
"We should catch up with them before they get too far." You say.
You two start running, laughing about the fact that they went without you. You two feel like you're in your own world when you talk to each other.
"There they are." Echo smiles.
"Finally." Crosshair rolls his eyes.

After everyone showers and changes out of their armor, you head back to Tech's room. The lights are dim. He lays on his back. You curl up next to him. 
"I like... this." You say. 
"Us?" Tech responds.
You nod. "Yeah. I love how we get distracted when we talk to each other, and I love it when we cuddle, when we explore new places... just, us." 
"I love it too. I'm so in love with you. I want to keep going on adventures with you, to keep being by your side." Tech smiles.
"I want to do that too." You say. 
Tech leans over and kisses your forehead. 
"Can you kiss me more?" You say.
He smiles before kissing you. 
"You're so... beautiful." He says in between kissing you. 
"You've already said that." You giggle.
"I wanted to remind you." He says.
"You're so handsome." You compliment him.
He chuckles a little. "Not as much as Hunter." 
You hold his face in your hands. "Tech, love, I mean it." 
He gets up from the bed. "I need to fly the ship off the planet. I'll be back, don't worry."

Tech comes back. He lays down next to you again. 
"We should be back on Ord Mantell before dinner." Tech states.
"I can just get us some rations now." You offer.
Tech smiles. "No, I'm taking you out to dinner."
"Tech, you don't have to-" You start.
"It's alright, mesh'la. I want to do this." Tech says.
"I guess I should get ready then." You respond.
You look through your clothes and find a dress to wear. You bought it a little while ago for special occasions like this. Tech turns around while you put it on. You turn towards him. 
"How do I look?" You ask.
Tech grins. "We've been dating for a long time, but every time I see you I still am stunned by how gorgeous you are." 
He moves closer to you and kisses you. "You're sweet. How did I get so lucky?"
"How did I get so lucky?" You respond.
"Alright, I should make sure I look nice, too." Tech says. 
You turn around as he gets dressed. He walks over to you. You've never seen him look so dressed up. 
"When... when did you buy this?" You ask, feeling the nice fabric of his shirt. 
"A few days ago." He replies. "I wanted to have a nice outfit. I've been wanting to take you out on a 'real' date for a while. I know we haven't been able to lately."
"Thank you. I'm excited." You smile.
"Good." Tech says. "I had a feeling you would be." 

You follow Tech to the main area of the ship. Everyone stares at you two in your nice clothes.
Omega smiles. "Are you going on date?"
You nod. "Yeah." 
Crosshair looks at Tech. "We're mercenaries now. Not people at a dinner party."
"He looks nice, Crosshair. Don't be like that." Echo says.
Tech sits down in his chair and begins the landing process. As you watch him, you can really tell how good of a pilot he is. He knows everything about the Marauder and so many other ships, he can maneuver the ship incredibly, and his landings are always smooth. He lands the ship in its usual spot. You eagerly go to the door of the ship, waiting for Tech to walk over. 
"Are you ready to leave?" Tech asks.
You nod.
"Have fun." Hunter smiles.
You carefully walk down the steps, being careful not to hurt yourself in your nice shoes. Once you're both off the ship, Tech holds your hand. Tech leads you towards the restaurant. 

The people passing by look at you and Tech with a confused look on their faces since you're wearing such nice clothes on a normal day, but you aren't bothered by it. You're just happy to be with Tech. 
"What restaurant are we going to?" You ask. 
"It wouldn't be fun to spoil the surprise." Tech responds. 
"No fair." You tease.
"The restaurant is a little out of the way. I know you're wearing new shoes, so let me know if you ever need to rest. I wouldn't want you hurting yourself on our big night out." He says. 
You continue to let Tech lead you towards your destination. The sun is beginning to set. The sky begins to turn from light blue to orange with bits of pink. You see less and less market stalls as you walk away from that part of town. You've never been this far on Ord Mantell before. You can tell you're more in the heart of the city, getting farther away from the cantinas and small restaurants and more into the nicer places. 

After a little while longer of walking, you finally are at the restaurant. You enter. Tech asks the host for a table for you two. He shows you where the table is and you and Tech sit across from each other. A waiter comes over and brings you two menus. You look at the menu and see the high prices. 
"Are you sure we can afford this?" You whisper.
"We've been on a lot of missions and we've earned some extra credits. We deserve this, Y/N." Tech responds.
"Did you ask the rest of the squad?" You say.
"I asked Hunter and I told him the prices were going to be fairly high. He agreed that it it was alright for us to do this." He reassures you.
You two first order some drinks. The waiter brings them to you shortly. He asks you what you want to eat, and you order first, getting one of the specials. Tech orders after you. The waiter leaves. Tech places one of his hands over yours. 
"Thank you for planning this, Tech." You say.
"I'm happy to plan it, Y/N. I wanted to do something to make you happy." Tech responds.
You take a sip of your drink. "Here, try this. I think you'll like it."
You slide your glass over to him and he drinks some. "That's nice."
He lets you try some of his. It's surprisingly strong. "I didn't realize you get such strong drinks."
He shrugs. "Well, it's been a little bit of a long day." 

The waiter brings you your food. It took a while for it to be ready, but you have a feeling that it will be worth the wait. You take a bite of it. You can taste so many spices and flavors. You look over at Tech who is happily enjoying his food.
"This is the best thing I've had all week." You say.
"I think this is the best thing we've had in a long time." Tech laughs.
You two continue to chat as you eat you dinner. It feels amazing not to have to worry about missions, or problems with the ship, or really anything. You're just enjoying each other's company. A little later on, you both finish your meals and pay for dinner. You exit the restaurant and make your way back to the ship.

You hold one of Tech's hands as you walk back to the ship.
"That restaurant was incredible." You marvel. "I mean, the service, the food, the atmosphere... everything about it was impressive."
"I agree." Tech nods. "I am glad you enjoyed our time there. I did too." 
"Tonight reminded me of when we first started dating. Of our first few dates together." You smile.
"When we didn't have all these responsibilities..." Tech mutters.
"We'll get through it, right?" You ask nervously.
Tech stops and faces you. "Yes. Like I said, I'll be by your side. We'll get through this together. Kriff, we've nearly died, but we've been there for each other." 
"You're right. I've gotten through Order 66, and we've managed to make it this far." You say.
He hugs you. "We'll be okay, Y/N. I promise."
You hold onto him.
"We have each other. We have us." Tech smiles.
