Hunter: Who the fuck added me to a fucking group chat?
Omega: >:O Language
Echo: Yeah watch your fucking language.
Wrecker: OK WHO TAUGHT ECHO THE FUCK WORD?!
Crosshair: “The fuck word.”
Tech: Are you stupid? You guys use the f*** word all the time.
Wrecker: Oh my god he censored it.
Echo: Say fuck, Tech.
Crosshair: Do it, Tech. Say fuck.

I took a very brief break from writing to do something just for fun and to clear my head a bit.
So! I've been having some serious brain rot over these three, and I also absolutely cannot get it out of my head that they shared a place at some point in time and the delightful chaos that ensued with their varied habits and mannerisms. For your consideration:
Silco-
No one in the Undercity is a picky eater. Food is too precious
That being said he does have SOME standards
If it's still moving that's a hard no. He'll dispatch it himself if needed
Not a fan of especially spicy foods
Actually enjoys cooking and experimenting with spices and more complex flavors
Wishes the other two would eat slower to appreciate his efforts instead of just inhaling it
Secret sweet tooth. Has a hiding spot for any treats he gets so Benzo and Vander don't 'accidentally' eat them
Vander-
Connoisseur of just about anything. Even things he probably shouldn't be eating
"Vander those leftovers are no good anymore"
"I'll be fine!" (Is somehow miraculously fine)
Banned from cooking after the lobster incident
Tries to get as much protein as possible-gotta build those muscles
"Ya gonna finish that?"
Knows where Silco's stash is but resists the temptation out of respect and knowing revenge would be swift
Benzo-
His standards fall somewhere between the other two, between "Is that edible...?" :< and "Ooh is that edible?! :D
Is the reason they all eat semi-well due to his deals with traders and merchants and access to more and better foods
Will take turns with Silco doing the cooking
Has a more limited repitore but they're all not bad
Is the guy who'll just casually chomp into a hot pepper. Especially if a bet is involved
Fast food junkie
Also knows where Silco's stash is and is the reason it had to be moved
Sleeping/cleaning/etc. down below! :) ⬇️
Silco-
Light sleeper
Refuses to wear ear plugs out of concern for their place being broken into ('What if I sleep through it?!')
Long pants/long sleeve shirt or tshirt if it's hot
Tea (or whiskey if available) and some reading before bed
Has a ridiculous amount of pillows (and a knife under them)
Sleeps curled in fetal position or on back with arms crossed over his stomach
Talks in his sleep but it's never comprehensible
Vander-
Falls asleep quickly but tends to wake up several times a night
Would probably sleep naked if given the chance but wears boxers and sometimes sweat pants
Sometimes has a smoke before bed (blowing the smoke out the window after the others gave him shit for it)
Only uses a blanket if it's especially cold
Snores but not loudly-more of a snort
Will occasionally...*cough* relieve some tension to help himself get to sleep
Sprawls across the bed or lays on his stomach
Benzo-
Out cold and not even an earthquake could wake him
Sleeps in whatever he's wearing or sometimes nothing if it's too hot
Says a brief prayer for luck every night
Midnight snack king
Does this little squeaking, babbling snore (did not believe the others until Vander recorded it once to prove it)
Burrows under a pile of blankets
Starfish or side-sleeper
Silco-
Is quite fastidious with his personal hygiene
Brushes his hair and teeth as best as possible every day and styles his hair carefully
Bathes or at least showers as frequently as resources and money allow
"Just because we live in a dumpster doesn't mean we must smell or look like it"
Almost fell asleep in the tub more than once
Has a prized bottle of very expensive cologne he stole from a shop in Piltover
Will steal or bargain for the best clothes he can get ("If you're going to command respect, one should look the part")
Vander-
"Eh, I bathed...a few days back. Just gonna get filthy again anyway"
Is the gremlin that stands outside in the rain with a bar of soap and calls it a day ("I'm savin' time and money washing m'self and my clothes!")
Has had to be coerced/threatened into getting in the tub
But once he's in there good luck getting him back out-he'll bring a beer or two and make a little party of it
One thing he's picky about; his hair. Likes to carefully comb and style it. One of his favorite features about himself
Goes for clothing that's hard-wearing and practical/easy to move in
Doesn't do much with the facial hair-keeps it from being too messy that's it
Benzo-
Bathes when necessary "Like a normal person!"
Often the one who has to clean the bathroom when the others forget/refuse
Always uses his favorite spice-scented soap he trades for and will not share
Constantly has hangnails
Puts work into keeping his facial hair styled how he likes
Also likes to keep his style practical and more simple but likes to add some embellishment when able
Has a rubber duck he absolutely refuses to admit to having
Peak character development 🩷
Vander: I've always liked the name Violet. Silco: *snorts a line* Hey, you know what I like?
Unseen episode where you all go to space target? 👀
When I say that Echo buys Crosshair novelty toothpicks I mean toothpicks like the ones I found at target today and just had to buy bc they reminded me of Cross
content: penetrative sex, crosshair needs a hug (a lot more in reality but we don't have time for all of that folks)

read under cut
You’re under him getting your insides rearranged when you feel his hand slither up your body. His rough skin caresses yours with the touch of almost an entirely different person, slowly trailing up your body until he interlocks your fingers together and stills there, a grunt leaving his parted lips.
The way your eyes open in shock isn't intentional. No, really, you swear it isn't. You're just taken by surprise, is all. You know he's not having a good day, and judging by the pent-up way he takes you after a week of separation, probably not having a good week either.
Crosshair slowly starts moving again, dark and louder grunts escaping his closed mouth with each jerk that sends your chin dipping up and eyes rolling back again. It's dizzying how he anchors both of you with where your hands meet and hold each other; you want to gaze toward them, look at him and see if he's looking at the connection but his thrusts are making it too damn hard.
Instead, you just squeeze his hand softly with a small whine. And he stops completely. For a moment you're scared he's not breathing. But then he exhales a heavy sigh, letting his body fall onto yours completely. You gasp slightly, almost feeling suffocated, but as he adjusts to rest the side of his face beside you, kissing your temple softly and rocking his hips again, you're pleasantly surprised at how smothered you feel, in the best way possible.
Then, he squeezes your hand, tight, and continues working at his pleasure without any regard for you (Not that you really mind, you already came from his fingers alone). But he's so oddly gentle, sort of intimate, fucking you almost like a lover instead of a release he always seems to take from you greedily.
You decide to tease him a little. With a small smile playing across your lips, you turn and whisper to him,
"Going soft on me?"
The loudest noise comes out of him today; a surprised, yet delighted chuckle as he chuckles his head and squeezes your hand again, using the other to grip your waist and readjust you softly. He looks into your eyes, and you swear if you could turn his irises into something touchable you would sink right in `cause you have never seen him looking so delicately ready to break.
"Don't even dare suggest it," He barks with no bite. You just roll your eyes and take your free hand, wrapping it around his neck and bringing him down for a kiss. You won't, because if you call it out too much he'll stop immediately and you'll never get it back again. And you think you like this part of Crosshair.

Hey I was wondering if you could write a crosshair x reader where they have a lazy morning maybe with batcher too.
Summary: You decide to sleep in on your day off. It leads to a very relaxing day with the love of your life.
Pairing: TBB Crosshair x F!Reader
Word Count: 1087
Warnings: None

A/N: I started writing this ages ago and then put it on pause, before continuing it today and I have no idea where I was originally going with the story, so I'm sorry if the vibes changes midstory. The only problem now is that I want to lounge by the pool. Alas, there is no pool.
It’s early, though not so early that the sun isn’t high in the sky, and you groan in annoyance when the bright morning sun hits your face, waking you from your very nice sleep.
Wait.
You’re fairly certain that you shut the curtain before you fell asleep last night.
You crack open a singular eye just as something large and heavy lands on the bed, and then you yelp as the solid mass of muscle flops next to you. “Batcher-?”
The lurca hound releases a happy little noise and buries her head under your pillows and blankets.
You groan and roll onto your back, flinging your arm over your eyes, “Crosshair? Why is your dog in my bed?”
“I’m fairly certain it’s our bed, angel.” Crosshair replies from somewhere on the other side of the room, near the door. He’s probably the one who opened the curtain too.
“You don’t live here, leech.” You counter without any heat in your voice.
“Rude, and I went through all of the trouble of making caf and breakfast for you. But, since you aren’t interested-”
“I hate you. What did you make?” You ask as you slowly sit up and squint at the man leaning against the door frame, “And how’d you get in anyway?”
“I made a quiche-” You shoot him a look, and he rolls his eyes, “Believe it or not, I am capable of following instructions from a recipe.”
“Yeah, but normally people start with, like, pancakes. They don’t tend to jump to quiches.” You reply as you swing your legs off the bed and stretch your arms over your head, “And you didn’t answer how you got in the house.”
“I picked the lock.”
“Cross!”
“Hey, you don’t want me to pick the lock, then give me a key.”
“Ugh, I haven’t had a copy made yet. I’m working on it.” You pad over to him, yawning widely, and then you thump your head against his chest, “Why’re you and Batcher over here anyway.”
“My brothers are annoying.” Crosshair replies as he sets his hand between your shoulder blades, “I needed some quiet.”
“Mm,” You slide your arms around his waist, “And you decided to make breakfast for me while enjoying the quiet?”
You feel him shrug, “You deserve to be spoiled. Maybe.” He says, his hand sliding up to rest lightly at the back of your neck.
“Maybe?” You ask with a laugh.
“I do have a reputation, kitten.”
“Yeah, yeah. I remember.” You rub your nose against his chest, allowing the sharp scent of Crosshair to fill your lungs, and then you pull back slightly, “Thank you for making breakfast, I appreciate it.”
“You’re welcome,” He lightly rubs the back of your neck with his thumb, a small, slightly crooked, smile on his lips. “It still needs to cook for a bit, so you have time enough to shower and wake up.”
You hum thoughtfully, “Yeah, I might do that.” You lean in to brush your lips against his jaw, only to giggle as he ducks his head to kiss you properly. You lightly trail your fingers against his jawline, “Good morning, Crosshair.”
“Mm, it is a good morning now,” He murmurs, before he drops one more kiss against your lips, “Go take your shower, I’m going back to the kitchen. Batcher, off!” The dog whines but jumps off your bed, dragging your comforter with her.
You sigh, and Crosshair chuckles, “I’ll handle it, kitten. I’m planning on spending the day lounging by your pool, so maybe grab a swimsuit.”
“You just want to watch me parade around for you in a bikini.”
“Yeah, of course.”
You huff, though there’s no heat, and you lightly kiss him one more time before you meander over to your dresser to dig out your swimsuit, “Why do you want to use the pool when we live on an island?”
“Uh, there are people at the beach, and there aren’t people here. Besides, you’re the one who owns a pool in spite of living on a tropical island.”
You scowl at him as you pull out your bathing suit, “I didn’t build the pool, the house came with it.”
“You still bought it.”
“Inherited it.”
“Same difference.” He walks over to you and tugs your bikini out of your hands, before pulling a different one out of your dresser, “Wear this one.”
“...this is white.”
“I know what I’m about, kitten.”
“You’re such a man sometimes,” You take the bikini though and turn towards the bathroom, “I’ll be down shortly.”
“I’ll be waiting.”
Fifteen minutes later, you step into the kitchen, clad in the white bikini and a sarong hung low around your hips. Crosshair offers you an appreciative whistle, before he tosses a ball out the back door for Batcher to chase.
“Prettier than a sunset,” He praises, a small smirk on his lips.
“Only because I’m wearing this thing,” You counter as you walk over to him and lightly pluck his toothpick out of his mouth.
“You could take it off, I won’t complain.” He drawls with an appreciative drag of his eyes down your body.
You point at him with his toothpick, “Pervert.”
“Guilty as charged.” He pushes your hand away and stands so he’s able to catch your lips in a kiss, “I opened the umbrella and put your breakfast on the table outside already. I also put out towels for us, as well as the sunblock.”
“Well, you have everything in hand, don’t you?”
“All that’s left to finish the perfect morning, is you sprawled out in the sun.” Crosshair replies.
You laugh softly, “Well then, who am I to deny you?” His arms snake around your waist and he tugs at the knot holding the sarong in place.
“You’re not going to need this, kitten. It’ll just get dirty.”
“And I’m sure it has nothing to do with wanting to see my legs.”
“Of course not.”
“Uh-huh.” You slide your hands up his chest and then wrap your arms around his neck, “It’s a good thing that I actually like your attention.”
“Oh, how much do you like my attention?” Crosshair asks as he bumps his forehead against yours.
“Enough that I’m considering inviting you to spend the night.”
He chuckles, “Well then, I’d better behave so you don’t change your mind.”
And you laugh one more time, before you pull him down into a kiss, leaning your weight against him. He’s right about one thing, this is definitely the perfect morning.
We saw how that mess hall fight went... Don't think this is a smart idea
Tech: We do not require supervision, Hunter.
Crosshair: Yeah, we’re both grown-ass adults!
Echo: Guys, your dino nuggets are ready. I also got your favorite juice boxes.
Hunter: …
Crosshair: …
Tech: …
Echo: …
Hunter: What was that about being “grown-ass adults”?
Crosshair, grabbing a juice box: Shut up.
All these screenshots were taken by me. ✨Crosshair is my prince uwu ✨
Just a short thing I had written down sometime last week. Wrote it down after a dream, wich is why it is so short and a little out of context. Nothing big. No Warnings. Just cute Tech being super nervous around reader.
Shy Tech
You had never been to Geonosis before. It was another desert planet, but this one was covered with red sand and rocks. It looked somehow even more inhospitable than Tatooine.
"Who would want to live here?" you asked to no one in particular as you waited outside the ship for Rex.
But of course, Tech took the opportunity to chat from his infinite store of knowledge.
"The Geonosians are a winged, insectoid species. Despite their insectoid origins, Geonosians have no skin armor, but smooth, thin skin. They have long arms with relatively small hands, crooked legs, and claws on their feet. Despite their gaunt frame, they are very strong. Geonosians are generally naked, except for a loincloth that sparsely covers their private parts. Upper body clothing is unnecessary for both men and women. Because they wear no clothing, they are more agile than most opponents and also use their clawed feet for defense. The Geonosian language consists of clicking and cracking sounds. They live in..."
"Oh my gaaaaawd, shut up, will ya?!" Wrecker interrupted Tech in his loud voice, "Nobody cares about that much information."
Tech was annoyed by this rude interruption, but he actually shut up and refocused on his datapad.
You rose from the box you were sitting on, walked through the red sand to Tech, and sat right next to him. He looked up from his datapad at you briefly, then focused back on the device in his hand.
"They live in...?" you asked him quietly.
Surprised, he blinked and looked back up into your face.
"Please don't encourage him," Wrecker muttered.
"Don't be so rude!" you fired back, silencing him in surprise.
Tech's ears went all red again, and to hide it, he hastily put on his helmet, despite the barely tolerable heat out here. It was interesting and amusing to see. Tech was the one who always kept a calm head in the most dangerous situations, but you always managed to shake him in some way.
Omega appeared at your side and gently tugged on your shirt to get your attention. Omega gestured for you to lean in with your ear to her, then whispered, "I think Tech likes you a lot."
You chuckled, at which point Tech shot a surprised and nervous look at the two of you. He couldn't hear what Omega was saying to you, but he was sure you were talking about him. He uneasily shifted his weight on the crate he and you were sitting on before finally standing up, pretending to be fully focused on the datapad again, and walking to the ship's ramp.
"I think we gave him the wrong impression," you sighed.
But you were distracted by an approaching small troop transport before you girls could discuss this topic further.
"Finally. Rex shows up," Hunter muttered.
As Rex came down the ramp, you were already running toward him, literally jumping on him.
Giggling, Rex wrapped his arms around you and lifted you off your feet for a moment. The other clones watched the scene in amazement. They knew you were friends with Rex, but they had no idea how close you actually were. If you had eyes in the back of your head, you would have seen the worried look on Tech's face. He was worried about how close you really were.
"Hey Firecracker," Rex greeted you teasingly, "How did you end up with these guys? I hope they're treating you well?"
You laughed as Rex eased you to your feet and back out of his embrace.
"They're all very gentle and decent to me," you replied.
"You'll tell me if that ever changes," he stated more or less jokingly.
"Yes, Captain," you replied playfully formal.
With a hand between your shoulders, he led you back to the rest of the crew.
With the supplies stowed on the Havoc Maurauder and everything else ready to go, Rex, Hunter, and Omega headed out to get more supplies before leaving for Ryloth, while Echo, Wrecker Tech, and you stayed behind with the small troop carrier.
You went in first and looked around. There were no cabins, just a few bunks facing each other. So there would be no privacy at all. You suppressed a sigh, you knew it wouldn't be long, two days at most, before everything would be back to normal and the Havoc Maurauder was back.
Tech came in behind you and looked around as well, though you were sure he already knew what it was like inside. You continued to look around, ignoring for the moment that Tech was following you.
Finally you turned and looked at him when he eventually asked you, "How did you and Rex...? Become friends?"
Oh, that's going through his mind now....
"Back on Ord Mantell, in a bar. A guy couldn't take no for an answer and got physical. Rex was in the bar, he was watching the situation and finally intervened when it got out of hand. He saved me that night. Since then, we kept meeting at Cid's place. I went on a few missions with him and.... we saved each other's lives on those missions from time to time. Well, honestly, he saved me more times than I saved him."
Tech scratched the back of his head and thought for a moment before asking, "How close are you, anyway? Just... Friends? It looked like you guys were really close friends."
He was still wearing his helmet, you noted. Probably to hide himself. He didn't want you to read his face, but you didn't have to, because his voice and posture gave away enough to tell you he was nervous again.
"Well, I think when you save each other repeatedly, it creates a certain bond. But why? What are you implying?"
"Nothing! I just ... it looked like ..."
"It almost looked like you were having a romantic relationship," Echo, who had snuck up behind Tech, interrupted him impatiently.
Tech flinched in surprise, and you were sure he was all red under his helmet.
You giggled, "Rex and I, a romantic relationship with each other? No, that's really not the case and never has been. But I think he is probably my closest friend, there is no one I trust as much as him."
Echo smiled kindly and tapped Tech on the shoulder, "Maybe over time we can change that and you can add a few more people to your list that you can trust unconditionally."
You smiled at him and said frankly, "I'd love to. So far, you're well on your way to making it onto that list."
When Echo left the ship for a moment, you acted on an impulse that had long tickled you. You reached for Tech's helmet and pulled it off his head.
"Hey, what are you doing?" he asked indignantly.
When you kissed him on the mouth, gently pressing your lips to his, he fell abruptly silent and the blush shot back up his face.
When you broke away from his lips, he looked at you with wide eyes behind his goggles.
"More?" you asked simply.
He nodded silently, cheeks still flushed.
Echo walked in, "Hey guys look what I-ooookay, I'll- um come back later".
Hunter: If I were a gardener, I’d put our tulips together.
You: Awwww.
—
Crosshair: If I were a gardener, you’d be my hoe.
You: ...Thanks.
