Chapter 6

I found that the best place on the ship was in the cockpit with Tech. Tech was probably the easiest of the boys to talk to, seeing as he barely talked back.

When Tech did speak to me, he always gave his thoughts and helped me figure stuff out. Out of all the boys Tech was the easiest to get along with, mostly because he didn't put me in danger or almost get me arrested.

"If I find one more toothpick in my seat, I just might shove it down Crosshair's throat." I growled out.

"I wouldn't stop you if you did, though I don't think Hunter would take kindly to having to help hide a body." Tech said as he kept his eyes on the control panel.

"Are you still complaining about Crosshair again?" Wrecker asked as he walked into the room.

"When am I not complaining about Crossy?" I asked with a laugh. "I live and breath to complain about him."

I heard beeping and turned to see lights flashing.

"Uh, Tech what's wrong?" I asked as I set up.

"Nothing that I can't fi-"

Tech was cut off by the ship jolting and more lights flashing.

"Miscalculation, it might be time to panic." He said as the ground got closer.

We all screamed as we strapped ourselves into our seats and the ship shifted downwards.

"Tech! What's wrong!" Hunter exclaimed as he rushed into the cockpit.

"Wait why are you only asking Tech, what's wrong? Wrecker and I are here too." I said as I turned to look at Hunter, annoyed.

"Because Tech wouldn't scream unless it was an emergency, you two scream for the fun of it." Hunter grumbled out.

"Understandable, oh and we are about to crash." I said as I motioned to the front.

"What!" Hunter exclaimed as his eyes went wide.

Hunter ran to his seat and strapped himself in. In a matter of seconds we hit the ground. My seatbelt ended up breaking and I was thrown forward and crashed into the control panel, bumping my head on it. I let out a groan as we came to a stop and I laid on the floor. Tech unstrapped himself and rushed over to my side.

"Is she going to be okay?" Hunter asked as he knelt over us.

"She has a minor concussion. I'll have to supervise her. You four continue with the mission, while I repair the ship and watch over her." Tech said as he grabbed a first-aid kid.

They left, leaving me with Tech, who bandaged my head up. I set outside on the ground, forced to watch as Tech worked on the ship.

"Truth or dare?" I asked as I looked up at him.

"What?" Tech asked as he shot me a look.

"I'm bored, so let's play truth or dare. You pick one of the choices and I either ask you a question or dare you do something." I explained.

He let out a sigh and picked up another tool.

"Fine, Truth." He said as he continued to work.

"Are you a virgin?" I asked playfully.

"No."

"Bullshit!" I exclaimed with a laugh. "When did it happen?"

"I believe it is my turn to ask you a question. Truth or dare?" He asked changing the subject.

"Truth." I said as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Out of all five of us, who is your favorite?" Tech asked as he worked on some wires.

"Trick question. Depends on the day really."

"Explain?"

"Well if I'm having a bad day, it's Wrecker. But that's because Wrecker can make me laugh no matter how sad I am. Then if I'm tired it's Hunter, he allows me to cuddle with him. If I'm in a talking mood it's you, because you will listen to me rant for hours." I said with a laugh.

"What about Crosshair and Echo?"

"For Echo it's when I'm feeling sick. Echo is like a mother hen, he knows how to keep me company, without bugging me to badly. Then there is Crosshair, he makes me feel safe. Yea we fight twenty-four-seven, but out of all of you boys, I know he will have my back." I explained.

"I see." Tech said with a smile.

"Okay, your turn. Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." Tech said as he fixed his goggles.

"How many hours have you slept this week?" I asked as I crossed my arms over my chest.

It was a known fact that Tech barely got sleep, both me and Hunter had already given him a lecture about taking care of himself before taking care of the ship. But Tech was stubborn and didn't seem to want to listen to either of us. At one point we had actually drugged him to force him to sleep for a solid five hours, and when he woke up we lied and blamed Wrecker, which wasn't hard to do seeing as Wrecker likes to pull pranks on all of us.

Tech froze up as a giant grin spread across my face.

"...Dare." He mumbled under his breath.

"I dare you to tell me how many hours you have slept this week." I said with a laugh.

"I am starting to not like this game." He said as he looked away from me.

I let out a laugh and shook my head as Tech finished the repairs.

"Truth or dare?" Tech asked after awhile.

"Truth." I said as I let out a hum.

"Are you a virgin?" He asked as he turned to look at me.

"Yes." I mumbled under my breath.

"I see." He said with a small nod.

"Truth or dare."

"Dare."

"Someone is feeling risky... okay.. I dare you to... kiss me."

Tech jumped in shock, hitting his head on the ship. I burst into laughter as he turned to look at me shocked.

"What?"

"I dare you to kiss me." I said as I leaned back against the ship.

"I.... Do not think that is wise."

"Come on, what's the harm in one kiss?" I asked with a laugh.

There was harm in it, but I just didn't realize it. I didn't realize that one kiss would change the way I felt for Tech.

"Alright... but we never speak of it again." Tech said as he removed his goggles.

Tech moved closer to me and when our lips were just a inch away, we heard talking and was forced to pull away from each other. I decided to go see what was happening and walked out of the cockpit to find the boys helping Crosshair onto the ship.

"What happen? Is he okay?" I asked as Echo help him go the bunks.

"I'm afraid that Crosshair was hit by a flash bang." Echo explained as Crosshair buried his face into his pillow.

"Let me guess, eye sensitivity." I said as I crossed my arms over my chest.

I had learned quickly that Crosshair's eyes were sensitive. If he stared at a bright light to long it would give him a horrible headache, so I could only imagine what a flash bang did to him.

"Yep. He's going to be a pain for the rest of the day." Hunter explained. "Do you think that you could-"

"I'll watch him, you guys finish up your mission." I said as I walked up to Crosshair.

"Thank you." Hunter said as he turned and left the ship, the others following behind him.

"Do you need anything, Crosshair?" I asked as I set down beside his bunk.

He shook his head no and let out a groan as he buried his face into the bunk. I let out a sigh and laid back in my chair. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. After awhile I was woken up by Crosshair shaking me.

"Everything okay, Cross?" I asked as I set up.

He shook his head no and scooted over, holding his blanket up. I smiled softly and climbed onto the bunk beside him. He buried his face in my chest and wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled as I ran my fingers thru his hair and kissed the top of his head.

I was surprised by how soft Crosshair was, I had thought that he would be as hard as a rock. But I found that he was quiet comfortable to cuddle up to. Crosshair also had a nice smell, which shocked me even more seeing as I never saw him take a shower.

Before I knew it I was being woken up to the sound of giggling. I let out a groan and buried my face in Crosshair's shoulder.

"And I thought that they hated each other." A voice whispered.

My eyes fluttered open and I turned to see that the boys had returned, and that they all had grins on their faces.

"You wake him up, and I will shoot you." I grumbled as I turned around and buried my face in Crosshair's shoulder again.

Morning came and I woke up alone. I set up and looked around for Crosshair, but couldn't find him. I let out a sigh and swung my feet over the edge of the bunk bed. I stood up and stretched before walking into the cockpit.

"Morning." I said as I set in the seat next to Crosshair.

He gave a small nod and stared out into space.

"How's your eyes?"

"Fine." He grumbled out.

"Right." I said as I gave a small nod and looked away from him.

"Thanks... for helping me." He said from under his breath.

"You're welcome, Crossy." I said as I sent him a smile.
