warnings: mentions of a nightmare and a rough past
Auburn curls splayed out on one of your thighs. Short silver curls brushed against the other. Goggle indents around one’s eyes, and frown lines painted the other’s face. Their eyes finally closed and into rem sleep that they very much needed. Sinking into the feathery soft pillows behind you, content is the best word to describe your feelings right now. Relaxing your strained muscles from the grueling mission.
Tech’s hand gripping your smooth thigh as he slept. Crosshair had his hand splayed across your back. Both of them softy snoring as you combed your fingers through their hair. Hunter enters the room after his shower glancing over at your little trio. A warm smile on his usually stern face.
“Thank you sarad” His voice quiet as he dries his curls.
“Scrunch Hunt, remember your curls matter” you lightly scold him. “Also you don’t have to thank me” you add smiling at him then down at the boys. He laughs at your scolding but does what you say.
“You deserve to be thanked for everything you do for us. Especially them, they had it hard when we were cadets. The attention you give them makes them forget about those memories” he tells you as he sits in his bed across from you.
“I’ll always do whatever I can for them. I care too much to let anything bad happen. It may be against the code, but I will defy every rule in the code for them. For each of you” your tone is serious yet your voice is still soft.
“ I know. You know we’d never ask you something like that” Hunter assures you.
“I’d do it without any of you asking” your tone not changing from its serious nature as you looked Hunter in the eyes. He understood how much you loved and cared about the squad. You show it in everything you do. He could see you’re about to be slightly uncomfortable sleeping tonight so he grabbed another pillow from Tech’s bed placing it behind you. You mumble a thanks as you begin to doze off. Hunter kisses the top of your head before turning in himself. His final thoughts being grateful to have you not only as their general but someone who cares for them. Finally falling into a deep sleep as Wrecker’s snores became white noise in the background.
As the night goes on the two who were sleep on your lap startled awake. Deep breathing and a sheen of sweat glossed over their forehead. Seemingly from nightmares, though you slept soundly between them.
“Was it about her?” Crosshair rasped, reaching over to grab water. Tech only nodded, extending his hand out to ask for the water next. Graciously taking a drink once Crosshair handed it over. They admired your sleeping form that was sitting up only moments ago to let them sleep on your thighs. You now were laying on your side with the sheets in your grasp.
“She’s fine and we have nothing to worry about” Crosshair assures Tech reaching out to squeeze his shoulder. As if you could feel their unrest, your hands reached out gripping theirs. Your eyes open up meeting their honey colored ones.
“What’s wrong?” you question voice groggy from sleep. When they didn’t answer you knew the answer was a nightmare. “Come here” you open your arms for them. Tech lays down first, though he still hasn’t said a word. He buries his face into your chest as Crosshair lays behind you his head resting on top of yours. You push back Tech’s curls that stuck to his forehead placing a soft kiss on it. Then bring Crosshair’s hand to your lips placing a kiss on his palm.
“I’m not going anywhere as long as I have a say in what happens to me” you softly tell them both. Crosshair buries his face in your neck, Tech’s grip onto your sleep shirt tightens.
“Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum” you assure them in Mando’a. They both relax, slowly letting sleep take over once more. Knowing you love them is enough for them. Especially knowing you would do anything to stay with them.
