Unexpected Surprises
Prompt 13: "Since we're dating, does that mean I can hold your hand whenever I want?"
Prompt 25: "You love me?" "I always have."
Warnings: None. Just fluff. Also, apologies bc I haven't written in third person for awhile so it sounds weird to me.
--------------------------------------------------
Summer stumbled forward tripping over some rocks. She would've fallen if not for Wrecker's iron grip instinctively reaching out to grab her collar.
"Thanks Wreck." She mumbled, face growing hot with embarrassment. This wasn't the first time Wrecker had saved her skin in a situation like this and it most likely wouldn't be the last.
Maker, he must think I'm a moron.
"No problem!" He grinned widely. "Just be careful. There's a lotta stuff out here that could hurt ya." He clapped her on the back in a friendly gesture, nearly sending her flying forward tripping over her own feet.
"Oops. Sorry, Mesh'la," he said sheepishly as he once again pulled her to her feet, "I sometimes forget yer not as big as my brothers."
She rolled her eyes playfully then looked around the lightly wooded path the pair were travelling down. "So where are we going anyway?"
To say the current planet was nice would have been a very big stretch considering it was supposed to have been a dreamscape.
Rolling hills of bright blue and green grasses connected perfectly flowered areas of shady forest. Even the trees - whose richly colored leaves were vibrant shades of reds, oranges, and yellows - blew gently in the warm wind. The weather always seemed to be sunny and the skies were filled with the sweet sounds of the native birds. The perfect paradise -
Or at least that's how the billboard that Wrecker found described the place as.
"Well it...the holo said it was supposed to be nice and all." His face fell. "But this don't look nothin' like it did on there." He kicked at the rocks Summer had tripped on earlier. The uneven dirt path that wound through the trees, was littered with them. Wrecker sat down heavily on a large rock, looking miserable.
A sudden rustling sound emanated from the bushes behind them.
"Hey, uh, Wrecker?" Summer sounded nervous. "There's something out there." She pointed with wide, cautious eyes, over to where the sound had come from. "Look!"
The bushes rustled again and something flicked in and out of sight - too quick to see quite what it was. Some kind of animal? Droids?
Wrecker frown and shuffled over to get a closer look, standing protectively over the smaller woman. The rustling started up again and once again something flitted in and out of view. Wrecker gasped.
"Did you see that!?" He whispered loudly.
"Yes," Summer whispered back, slightly worried, "It's probably just some kind of animal." She shook her head, "Nothing to worry about."
Wrecker's cybernetic eye was dwarfed by his real one widening. "I hope it doesn't eat people."
"Nah," she teased, winking at him. "Tech told me about these things. They only eat clones."
"Oh good." Wrecker sighed in relief but then stopped short as if something had just occurred to him. "Wait. I'M a clone!"
Wrecker jumped to his feet. "Don't let it get me, Summer!" He wailed loudly and mostly in jest. Mostly. The rustling grew loud suddenly as whatever was in the bushes rushed towards them. Summer let out a startled shriek, latching onto Wrecker with both arms and legs. He pulled her close to his chest with ease and jumped up onto the rock he'd been sitting on as if putting the short distance between them and the supposed danger would actually make a difference. Summer peeked over his shoulder cautiously. Wrecker had a blaster out, pointing it towards the noise. "Get out here right now or I'll shoot!" Wrecker demanded with a snarl.
The bushes gave another small shake and a small grey creature skittered out of the leaves. A beat of silence, then Wrecker burst out laughing.
"It's.....it's only....a little bunny!" He guffawed, barely able to get his words out. His belly laugh triggered Summer's own hysterical giggles.
"Don't worry, Mesh'la," cackled Wrecker, "I'll save you!"
Summer wiped her eyes, stomach aching with laughter. "Oh maker, I love you Wrecker. We always seem to get into some sort of adventure together, don't we."
"Yeah." He agreed, sending him back into giggles. "You'd better look out for that bunny though. It'll get ya."
When the laughter died down, Wrecker sat, leaning against a tree. He looked around and after awhile, his smile disappeared, replaced with a solemn frown of disappointment. He scratched his head, trying to think. "I'm sorry this ain't turnin' out like I thought it would, Summer."
She sat up, leaning against his leg so that she could see him better.
"Wrecker, you don't have to plan a fancy trip to go on a date with me." Summer smiled, gently resting a hand on his large knee.
He looked down at her with his mouth half open in disbelief, "You mean.... we're dating!? This is a date!?"
She giggled shyly. Maker, he was adorable.
She felt her face grow warm again. "Only if you want it to be..."
Wrecker's face lit up like a kid at Christmas. "Well heck yeah, Mesh'la! Of course I wanna date a pretty girl like you!"
Wrecker gave her an incredulous look, I don't THINK you're pretty. I KNOW you're pretty." He chuckled, "Besides, Tech's the thinkin one. Not me."
The two were quiet for a moment, taking in the atmosphere. Maybe it wasn't so bad out here after all, Summer thought. Sure, it was a lot more rocky and the leaves on the trees were just a normal green, and maybe there were more than a few wild animals, but it was still nice. Especially since she was here with her favorite person in the galaxy. Wrecker made her smile even when nothing else could.
"Did..." Wrecker began somewhat timidly.
Summer looked up at him expectantly.
"Did you really mean it?" He asked softly, looking down, not quite meeting her eyes.
Summer leaned into him, resting her head in his lap. "Mean what?"
"When you said you loved me."
She sat up, crawled to her knees so that she was facing him, and placed her hands on his cheeks.
"Of course I do, Wrecker! I always have. Ever since I first met you."
It was his turn to blush. "Oh. Well, then I love you too, Mesh'la!" He stood up excitedly, causing Summer to squeak in surprise. He picked her up into his large arms and spun her around.
"Hahaha, you looooooove me!" he teased. Summer laughed and Wrecker thought it was the most beautiful sound he'd ever heard. To him, Summer's laughter felt like a warm summer evening and her eyes lit up and danced like fireflies. He kissed her.
"No clue why you'd love a guy like me," he confessed as he set her back down, "but I'm real glad ya do!"
Summer grinned. "So since we're already here, why don't we just do some exploring." she suggested. "Wanna go for a walk?"
Wrecker gasped suddenly, causing Summer to jump. "Hey! Since we're dating," he began excitedly, looking like a kid in a candy shop, "Does that mean I can hold your hand whenever I want!?"
Summer nodded enthusiastically. "I'd like that alot, actually."
Wrecker grabbed her small hand in his large one, pulling her close, "and don't worry, Mesh'la, if we see any more bunnies, I'll protect ya."
