--Building a New life --Tech x Reader Bad Batch

Chapter 85 -So tell me, what happened?--

Shortly after being reunited with your fiance, the two of you went down the long staircase around the island to the large house the Bad Batch was residing at. Its circular structure was charming, and it looked like it was one of the few buildings that actually had enough rooms for everyone. Of course, you knew that some of them probably still shared a room out of comfort. The rock was smooth on the inside, with a rougher texture on the outer wall and the porch was in a great location to see the sunset outside while not being seen by those indoors.

You were led in by Tech who showed you each of the main rooms including the common area with two couches and the side room which held the small kitchen before leading you to your room. The bed in here was just big enough to fit one person, and the window faced a small garden behind the house. On the bed was a purple dress with a floral pattern. It matched the other clothing you had already seen and had a decorative ruffle along the bottom hem and across your shoulders.

"The shower is just this way if you wanted to wash up and change" Tech offered and you nodded "I'd like that, it would be nice to get out of these".

You saw a playful look in Tech's eye but he held his tongue and didn't make any comments. "I have some things to prepare while you change. Meet me in the kitchen once you are finished".

"Are my other things still on the Marauder?" You ask, looking about your room but not seeing any of your other things or any boxes shoved into a corner.

"Affirmative. While you were declared MIA we moved your container to storage before arrival but all of your things were kept together".

"Thank you. Alright, I'll go wash up" you replied, grabbing the dress and heading to the bathroom. Compared to the refresher 'box' you were used to on the Marauder this felt spacious and light. The pale stone and paved floor was cool under your feet and the room was larger then your bed room to accommodate the shower, and other appliances. You peeled off your blacks, happy you wouldn't have to put them back on and took what might have been the best shower you had experienced in months. The soaps smelled floral and your hair got attended to properly but speedily. As much as you were enjoying your shower, the thought of keeping Tech waiting did weight on your mind. The dress fit you well, with no defined waist and a fuller skirt that flowed about you as you moved. Honestly it was super comfortable, and you tried your best to style your damp hair before heading back out towards the kitchen. You hadn't heard or sensed the others, and you stepped elegantly into the kitchen feeling refreshed and much more attractive then when you first arrived.

The kitchen was small, with one large unit for storing food within a cold temperature and then a large counter for preparing meals. Tech stood at this counter, surprisingly with an apron on, pulling together two plates of food.

"Feeling better?" Tech asked as you stepped up to him, giving him a side hug with your damp hair.

"It was wonderful, and these clothes are very comfy" you replied.

"Its is a plant weave made from a local tree" Tech explained as he finished slicing up the fruit in front of him "Due to the process of stretching and harvesting the material it creates a thin fiber that can be treated by water exposure to become soft in texture while still retaining its breath-ability".

"A type of island linen" you added on and Tech nodded, picking up both plates "correct. Will you follow me out to the porch darling? I assume you are hungry".

The nickname made me smile sweetly and you got the door for Tech as you both walked out to the porch. The couch here was a weaved and carved wood piece with cushions for the seats and backing. There was a small table in front of it, and the two of you sat and ate lunch with a view of the ocean.
