Ice Cream treat for Tech!
“Oh come on Echo! You did promise you would take me out for ice cream the next time we were on Coruscant. Well, we are here now and I have a hankering for some sugary icy cream. So let’s go!”
“Fine, fine! Fine!!!” Echo through his arms in the air, not really frustrated but Tech had been reminding him of the promise several times already. “Tech, I will take you out for that karking ice cream! All though why you want to feast on that tooth rotting sugary lactose filled creamy treat is beyond me!”
Echo wasn’t looking, but Tech had a rather coy expression on his face just then, a really wicked grin as it were. Echo’s comment certainly having raised all kinds of images about creamy treats in his dirty little mind.
Alas, ice cream first! Echo would get his own reward and by proxy Tech as well at a later time.
“Okay, so there is one parlour close by, as I recall. Just around the corner and one street over.” Echo was reminded of his time with Fives there, the other Arc too having had a rather nasty sugary tooth, something Echo never really understood and here Tech was, exactly the same!
“Great! Come on, my dearest Echo!”
Tech grabbed his partner by his arm and started heading towards the direction Echo had pointed out. Tech only too eager for his, well, first treat of their leave.

They were sitting at the table in the ice cream parlour.
Echo sipping on his caf, having opted on a small bite salty size cake instead while Tech had certainly splurged with getting the biggest portion possible with all the bells and whistles he could muster not being able to choose from the toppings, so all it was!
As the ice cream had arrived, Tech had taken holo-pix from every angle possible. So much so the thing having begun to melt.
But Tech had totally enjoyed it, the whole thing devoured rather fast too and so now, the quite full Tech was leaning back in his seat holding his belly. Not yet aching, alas, full!
Echo smirked at him, the man child looking cute in his blissful sugary high. “Feeling full there, Tech?”
“Yeah… you can say that.”
“You want me to carry you back to the hotel?”
“I… can manage.”
Tech had overeaten true, and guess his enthusiasm had gotten the better of him, alas walk he still could. Possibly. Maybe?
“Its fine sweetie, I will support you.”
Tech let out a small smile. As of course Echo would support him, no matter what.
Thankfully the journey back wasn’t that long.
“I um… did promise you…“
Tech had kind of promised Echo a treat as well, later on when in private. But he was way too full and exhausted after all that hefty ice cream to, well do much else except to rest.
“I know Tech. But I know how much you love ice cream and guess you went a tad overboard with it. We can do things later, after your tummy settles. Okay, love?”
Tech smiled, only too happy to have an understanding partner like Echo.
“You’re the best my sweet Echo.”
“I know.” Echo laughed. Getting up, offering his hand to Tech for support.“Shall we?”
“Yes, please.”
Tech managed to wobble up and onto his feet finding Echo there to support him during every single step.
As they walked back to their hotel, Tech internally swore off the ice cream… for now at least. As being too full to enjoy much else was, well, rather annoying!
