The Bad Batch - Mini Stories

The Thunder Rolls

A feeling indescribable woke him up to the natural world of the living, away from his dream state as he rolled out of bed only to sigh, it was his second day of being out of prison, one of which he had lived in for the first ten years off his life after that day in which he turned 15 and all hell broke loose. But still he never regretted what he had done, nope not after what it had cost him, now though, he wished he went fully through with it and maybe everything would have ended differently, maybe he would have died and...warm arms wrapped around him.

"It's okay, I'm here" a soothing voice had him falling back into the warm chest of the man who saved his life in the prisons, maybe once or twice and the two slowly fell in love. "Everything will work out, we just need to give the world sometime and it will all work out, but for now. Back to bed and then we will get to work, considering the prisons of life still like to torture us" a small chuckle from his partner soon had him cuddling close and closing his eyes for the rest of the night.

Three Years Later...

"Happy birthday mi amor"

A soft smile littered his face as he was twirled in a way, the two mucking about in their living room, "I can't believe you are 28 today and yet I'm 31, you still look as young as the day I met you"

"You don't really mean that"

"I do love, and you know I do"

"I know, thanks May"

"Always Casp, nobody is going to ever hurt you again, as I'm here for you, always" Mayday whispered, kissing his partner deeply, the two were suited and booted as they were acting as special forces security guards for Mayday's parents.

"Do you two have to be that sweet, you make us feel sick" a soft voice had Mayday turning to see his brothers with a grin on his face. Hex and Veetch, twins who were sixteen, were a surprise to their parents.

"What can I say? I love Casp and he loves me back" Mayday teased pulling Caspian close to him, Caspian did not mind, considering he went by his middle name to avoid tension with others as his first name was a broadcast when the incident occurred. An incident which he wasn't entirely at fault for but he did get all the blame.

"Say it" Hex challenged.

"What?" Mayday turned away from Caspian but did not let go.

"Say what you've been..."

"Hex, leave your brother alone. He will do what he wants to do in due time but for now, stand up straighter, we must be ready before your mother comes down, he's in quite the mood" a rough yet calming tone belonging to the father of the boys revealed Quinlan Vos who smiled their way. "It's good to have your home my son and you too Caspian, we have missed you both, although we tried everything to get the both of you out of prison, it just didn't work out the way we hoped" Quinlan greeted them both with a hug before pulling away. "I'd suggest letting go of each other and instead us, celebrating later on" he added.

With a simple kiss, Mayday let go of Caspian's waist but did still hold his hand while Caspian preferred not to speak, he rechecked his weapon on his inner thigh before shifting his jacket to cover it. Mayday helped with a smile before the doors opened revealing the not so happy mother of the boys, he wore his typical royal robes, yes, Quinlan and Fox were the royals of Coruscant, Quinlan being the next in line to the throne, he had taken it and later on, met Fox in life.

"Love?" Quinlan reached for Fox with the whole intention of calming him down.

Fox shook his head, "Bloody Jango invited the starlings, dawnsons and as many enemies as he saw fit" Fox muttered into Quinlan's shoulder before pulling back. Hex and Veetch shared a look, knowing Fox wasn't the most famous Fett out there which is why he had changed his name and not honoured his family when he and Quinlan married, it shocked the Fett family but one other knew why Fox had done what he had done. "It's like he has it out for me" Fox grunted out, he allowed Quinlan to smooth down his robe.
