It was still all new, the relationship was.
A little awkwardness in their interactions true, but slowly and surely the two of them were getting to know each others wants and needs and how far they were willing to take thing during said relationship. Their interactions though, not as public as that. Not yet anyway even if a few of their family had figured things out already. Them having walked in on the duos, well, interactions.
But the night before, Hunter and Tech had finally reached the point where their ship had taken them to the next level. The sex of things entering the picture. Yes, it was their first time of actually having coitus as Tech had so aptly put it. The kissing and touching and cuddling having turned into a good ole romp in the hay, something they had both anticipated to happen.
Well, it had been sweet and probing at best. Tech even having made notes of Hunter’s likes and dislikes during their plethora of cuddling sessions. Alas last night, the datapad having been flung under the bed somewhere far away by the scout as things had gotten more heated.
“No data-pads to the bed, Tech!”
The pout as cute as it had been had not fazed Hunter, perhaps heating things up further.
As it was all new, they were still adjusting to their situation. Especially their behaviour in front of their family. The lot of them living in the same house, well, it was difficult to keep any secrets for any length of time from anyone before the gossip mill started churning.
Fives and Echo having figured things out quicker than others had and before perhaps the loving couple themselves had. Perhaps due to their own rekindled relationship ever since Fives having joined the team and the family after being rescued from a secret facility.
Hunter, was a tad fidgety though. Especially after waking up from the same bed as Tech, the genius having remained there after their bout together. Not his usual M.O., but it had felt nice to have Tech there where when waking up.
“Good morning sweetie.”
“Good morning, love.”
Yes, they were still trying on pentanes and endearments, somewhat awkwardly but getting there. The kissing though, well, that was on a whole other level!
Sharing a first morning kiss in bed together was new and they both loved it. The heated moment last a spell, before it was time to get up. The smells from the kitchen beckoning.
Despite that all, Hunter felt at odds when entering the kitchen where the others were already siting by the breakfast table. Wrecker and Shep having prepped the food as per their usual. The two cooks of the family as they were.
“Good morning family.” Hunter greeted them, trying to act all nonchalant. Seeing the knowing glances though as he entered, the silence speaking volumes as he had clearly heard them talking before he stepped into the space.
“Good morning Hunt. Breakfast?” Wrecker offered then, breaking the awkward moment.
“Yes, please.” Hunter smiled as he started towards the table.
Only to be halted by none other than Tech, who was entering the kitchen just after Hunter. Tech having a huge and telling smile on his face as he did.
“Good morning everyone.” Tech stated gingerly and then turned to Hunter, kissing him right on his lips and… “Lover.” Tech spoke softly to Hunter before casually strolling to the table, leaving a flushed red Hunter standing behind him.
“Called it.” Crosshair whispered to Mayday, the couple sitting right beside each other as per their usual, the two glued to the hip ever since coming to Pabu.
Omega and Lyana simply smirked at Crosshair and Mayday, having been on the know as well.
Hunter, still stuck to his steps, when Tech turned to look at him.
“Coming, sweetheart? The food is getting cold.”
Now, how could Hunter resist such a sweet request like that coming from his partner? Flushed or not, Hunter took a seat right next to Tech, his arm snaking around the other man.
The light chatter soon continued again. Life as familiar as it had been in the household of the Bad Batchers.
