Collide.
Since it’s already midnight in Italy, Happy Birthday to me!!.
..and for the first time i’m on schedule..
About this work: i care for this story way too much, worked on this since April and at first i thought it would have been a longer oneshot but then the characters took over and it became a multichapter. For the first time i have a beta (thank you @shadow-wolf-03 ) and i’m actually scared to post this..because it’s something i would love to continue to write (i have the whole story in my head actually.)
First two parts are introductions, on them and how the both fell in love with each other.
Warning: both are stubborn but helplessly in love with each other. Flashbacks are in italic.
so onto the story then...(i also encourage you all, if you like this, to reblog, comment and/or send me an anon ask..if you’d like...this story is my baby and i REALLY want to know what y’all think)
more characters to come next...

"Oh sweet Maker, why is she still here?" Fives said out loud, throwing his arms up in exasperation.
They had just returned from a mission and, damn, were they tired. Nothing that a good strong drink at ‘79 couldn't fix.
"She's not going to leave so soon. She's here to help us, to help everyone here, believe it or not.." Echo said, "and besides, she's not that bad. Don't be so dramatic, vod"
"Am I being dramatic now, Echo? Whose side are you on?"
"Yours, of course, but I don't see the point of all this..." Echo returned, gesturing at Fives and his behaviour.
They continued talking on the way back to the barracks when they both walked past you inside your office. Only Echo waved at you while Fives continued to walk as if he had seen no one and kept looking right in front of him.
Echo shrugged, apologizing for his brother's behaviour, you were an officer after all, but you waved it off and smiled at him, reassuring him that everything was fine.
You really didn't know why, but since day one, it was just him who seemed to kind of hate you, everyone else was extremely kind each time you helped them with something. Free caf was delivered all day long and the occasional flowers appeared in your office the next day. Next thing you know, your superiors will complain about this kind of behavior and reprimand the troops for distracting you from your work...
"Ah, now I see what this is all about, you're jealous!" Echo pointed out, a teasing grin on his face. This caused said clone to stop dead in his tracks.
"Take it back... Echo, I mean it, take it all back!" Fives yelped, his voice jumping an octave and catching the attention of others passing by."Y’know, I won't tell a soul if you lower your voice a little." Echo murmured as he looked around.
"Fine!” Fives huffed, “... but I'm not jealous...I just don't trust her, why the generals and everybody else does so easily, it's beyond me, really." Fives explained to his brother.
"Yeah, alright... but last time you were in the medbay you were a blushing and stuttering mess, remember? She was there to check on Kix's orders... ‘Case told me, but as I said, my lips are sealed." Echo admitted.
Fives’ eyes widened in shock as he blushed. This wasn’t good, his body was totally betraying him.
"...that son of a...I thought he was sleeping...no... I didn't... " he swore, “I... just, I was caught off guard, alright?" he added, defeated.
