“OK. So not only are you telling me that you are going to race in a vehicle that you’ve never even driven before, but you also have the slightest chance of getting seriously injured or KILLED?!” you exclaim, hands on your waist as you eyed your boyfriend incredulously.
You knew Tech was smart, in fact, maybe even too smart. But for him to volunteer abruptly to such a race where there were barely any rules, well, you couldn’t help but get a bit defensive (and okay, angry too) at his commitment to this.
And of course, like most of the arguments the two of you have had, Tech is glued to his holopad yet again.
Sigh!
“The degree of me being injured is almost insignificant. Given my calculations, I will most likely win the race,” Tech replies nonchalantly as he bops his head to himself.

“Most likely-???”
He finally releases his eyes from his holopad to look at you through his helmet.
“You don’t need to worry, Y/N.”
You scoff, face contorted into a deep frown. You knew all too well that of course that would be his response. You walk closer to him, placing your hand gently on top of his holopad so he is forced to dart his attention fully to you. You raise both of your arms to both sides of his helmet, and with a wordless nod of approval from him, you took it off. His brown hair ruffled cutely when you took off his helmet, and you took a deep breath as you look into his eyes clearer. “Tech… I just don’t want you to get hurt.”
“Trust me, mesh’la. I’ll be okay, I promise.” Tech shares a sympathetic smile. The kind of smile that says you’re cute when you worry. He steps closer to you, and gently tucks a piece of hair behind your ear, trying to wipe that angry pout on your face.
You let out a sigh. You know that no matter how much you try to sway him to reconsider, when Tech’s mind is onto something, it’s almost impossible to change his mind unless there is substantial evidence to prove that there is an alternative solution that would be just as convincing (and clearly you don’t have the time for that!). But the reassurance in his eyes and determination in his voice settled your nerves a bit. And it wasn’t necessarily what he said that calmed you down, but his voice- soft yet confident. Warm yet tender.
You abruptly pulled him into a hug, smiling a bit to yourself at Tech’s quirkyness as he readjusts himself to properly hug you back. Despite being with him for so many months, his awkwardness never fails to make you smile. You finally pulled away, throwing in a kiss on his cheek for good measure which won you back a smile – something that he rarely shares with anyone.
“Fine,” you eventually agreed as you tried to work up a grin. You took another deep breath and gave him an encouraging look. “Go win that race, racer boy.”
Tech looks at you blankly and darts his gaze from your eyes to your lips rapidly as if he’s calculating equations in his mind. He finally leans down to kiss you on the lips, catching you a bit surprised.

“Don’t have to tell me twice, mesh’la. I’ll see you at the finish line.”
Your eyes widened, startled by that rather suave comment Tech threw at you. You watch him put his helmet swiftly back on and enter the crowd. The excitement exerting was palpable; air thick with curiosity as the people await to see who will be the next racers in the starting line.

And raucous crowd never died down…
Especiallyyyyy when Tech removed all his weapons.
Yes.
ALL his weapons.
Oh, this man…
“TECH!!!”
