Sleeping arrangements never too awkward
As it was, Tech loved to tinker, nothing new there.
But, ever since Echo having joined the Bad Batch Team, the ARC often sharing in the Genius’ passion for tinkering. Echo often enough helping Tech with his many an inventions and devices he loved to build.
Usually though, Echo fell asleep while Tech still continued with his multiple tasks. In Tech’s bunk no less the both of them be. Or at least, adjacent to it.
Tech, usually oblivious to Echo having fallen aslumber mid-tinker. But during those moments when he did snap out of his own techno bubble, realising his partner was asleep, a smile soon emerging on Tech’s lips.
Tech getting up from the floor he usually worked on right besides his bed. As the table being too littered with stuff, mostly Tech’s. So the spot beside his bed having become the work place for now. When they were on Kamino that was.
On the Marauder it was a whole different story but of course.
Tech grabbed a warm blanket, placing it on top of Echo before leaning in and giving Echo a soft peck on his forehand for only good dreams.
“Sleep tight, my sweet Echo.” The soft whisper following.
Usually, Tech let Echo get his beauty sleep while the rest of the team were out practicing or whatever else they were doing at any given moment. But, right now, in this moment as Tech stood there watching Echo sleep. Admiring the soft planes of the sleeping ARC, Tech could not help but to join him.
Gently nudging Echo to scoot over to make enough room for Tech without waking him up.
It was a skill Tech had acquired long ago. Echo not the fist of them to fall asleep mid work during their down time. And so, Tech managed to make enough room for himself, to get on his side and curl around Echo like a big spoon he totally loved to be. Nuzzling his nose into Echo’s neck as Tech inhaled the familiar scents of his partner.
The best kind of sleeping arrangement it was despite not being the most comfortable one.
The bunk crowded for two, but they managed just the same. Tech too falling asleep with a smile on his face while snuggled into Echo’s sleeping form. A secure and safe spot for them both it was.
Sleep soon enough taking over Tech as well. The soft snoring filling the suddenly silent barracks of the Bad Batch. For a moment it did at least.
