The Bad Batch Having a Token of Their Love For You Would Include (Bad Batch x Reader)
─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─ 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓 ─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─
A/N: I love these boys so much and I thought of this instead of going to sleep all week. I really hope y'all like my idea for Echo's especially. He deserves the galaxy and more.❤️ (I also had extra ideas that are definitely still in character but probably "anachronistic", so I just labeled them bonus. I mean we have finally 'caf'' aka coffee in SW canon, so maybe there's hope for hoodies 🤭)

★ Bad Batch Tag List ★ @dantes-devil-huntress @sageislostinspring (comment to be added!)
Hunter
- He would get a tattoo of your name
- Hunter did not need his heightened senses to be certain that he had fallen in love with you - if anything, they just strengthened his conviction that you were the one he was meant to find
- Being the intensely devoted and thoughtful man he is, you were on his mind constantly, and he wanted a symbol of his love to be as a part of him as you had become
- He didn't even tell you at first because he wanted it to be surprise
- It wasn't until he changed into plainclothes for an undercover mission that you noticed the new black ink on his right bicep
- You grabbed his arm and stared at the Aurebesh letters spelling your name
- "You like it?" he asked, a little nervous
- Speechless, you pulled him into a kiss
- "I'll take that as a yes" he smiled, before getting another embrace filled with kisses
- Whenever you have time alone together, you love to slowly trace the letters with your finger and listen as he dreamily talks about the future
- Later in your relationship, he would want to add to it with a portrait of you, and someday, the names of your children
- Bonus: he would keep anything you gave him like a pendant or a ring and wear it whenever he could (this man would totally wear one of your scrunchies and make it look hot - a product of his 'girl dad' powers that you find very attractive)
Wrecker
- He would keep your shirt to cuddle with
- The only thing Wrecker has ever been discreet about in his entire life is his feelings as he was falling for you
- It wasn't for lack of trying. He had been officially head over heels for months, but every time he tried to tell you, his words suddenly came out wrong
- You thought it was adorable, and you were sure he'd figure out how to say what he was feeling when he was ready. It just gave you more opportunity to realize you were falling for him too
- What you couldn't figure out, however, was where your favorite shirt had disappeared to
- That is until, after days of searching, you finally caught a glimpse of it tucked beneath the pillow in Wrecker's bunk
- You were stifling a giggle when he walked up behind you, looking nothing less than mortified
- "Oh, Y/N! That! I uh...I found it on the floor and I was going to give it back to you! But it smelled really nice, and pretty...like you, and um, then I forgot..." he stammered, his face bright red
- You smiled and kissed him on the cheek, "Keep it."
- In the weeks following, you would refresh it with a spray of your perfume every so often when he wasn't looking
- He would also draw doodles of you whenever he had downtime
- You were all on a mission not long after the discovery of that day, and during his watch, you rolled over to see him drawing in the sand with a stick. He'd scribbled your initials together within a heart, surrounded by a dozen tinier hearts.
- Suffice to say he was not the only one feeling absolutely smitten from then on
- Bonus: speaking of shirts, you would absolutely be the couple with the "If lost, return to ___ + I'm ___" tees (likely worn with your matching homemade 'friendship' bracelets)
Tech
- He would keep a recording of your voice and laughter
- Tech is a private person when it comes to his emotions, but he feels very deeply, even if he isn't sure how to best express his growing affection for you (he thinks it's obvious, after all)
- It's this very reason why you doubted that he returned your feelings at first, until you walked by him one day and heard the sound of your own laughter, playing over and over
- "What's that?" you questioned, now recognizing the moment that had caused your sides to nearly split (Wrecker had just taken the most dramatic fall into mud you'd ever seen, immediately after bragging he was 'too heavy' to slip)
- Tech muted the sound and kept his stare on the datapad, "I capture auditory recordings of all of my interactions for analysis, and file away important data for later reference."
- "My laughing is 'important data'?" you smirked as he hesitated for only a moment
- "Well, no. Not technically. It is, however, a pleasant sound that reminds me of you, and one that I would like not to forget. By that reasoning, it is important to me," he stated, calmly meeting your awe-struck gaze
- It took all your strength not throw yourself into his arms right then and there. He went back to filing his recordings, oblivious to the fact that he had just irreversibly won your heart
- He'd also incorporate you into some of his private passcodes
- Anything from your initials to your eye color to your favorite flower - just some of the many details that he associates with you and remind him of how much he cares for you
- Bonus: if he had a lockscreen/background, it would definitely be a picture of you. He would also be the type to make you a playlist of your favorite songs all from memory because he knows you that well
Crosshair
- He would engrave your name on his rifle
- Crosshair is a man of conviction and loyalty, and when he was certain that he could trust you with his heart, he wanted to display his loyalty in turn
- Modifying his rifle in any way at all is significant, so ingraining your name on the scope is a very personal gesture to him
- He caught you completely by surprise on a mission, casually showing it to you while you had watch together
- You were stunned to see your name glistening in the firelight, every letter expertly etched into the smooth metal, "Cross, I can't believe you would do that for me..."
- "Your love makes my aim true," he replied, wholly sincere
- This one remark sealed your fate, giving you both the courage to lean in and share your first kiss
- "Then you will never miss," you whispered afterward
- You spent the rest of your watch sitting close together in soothing silence under the stars
- He would also carve your initials into the wall of his bunk
- Wherever he would go, you would be there also. His devotion is unyielding, and you have a partner until the galaxy itself burns up
- Bonus: a huge sign of his affection would be letting you wear his clothes. He may act disgruntled, but it's all in jest because would be the boyfriend that's extremely proud to see you walking around in his hoodie
Echo
- He would have your handprint on his armor
- It seemed like a lifetime since he'd had the handprint from Captain Rex on his chestplate that had meant so much to him through those long years of war
- When Echo is sure of something, nothing can move him from it. Not much time was required for him to know that he wanted to share his life with you, and that he wanted your handprint on his armor
- He confided in you quite a bit about his past in the GAR, and you knew about the original print, but you never dreamed that he would ask you to replicate it
- "Are you sure?" you asked in disbelief
- "I am, Y/N. There's no one else whose mark I'd rather carry with me, and no one I want by my side more. On and off the battlefield," he confessed, taking your hand in his
- Tears welling in your eyes, you dipped your other hand into the red paint on the table, placed it carefully onto his chest, and pressed your lips to his
- More than a symbol of love, you both knew this was a vow to keep fighting for a free galaxy where you could build a future together
- He would also have a photo of you in his personal things
- He's not afraid of letting his relationship with you be known around his brothers, but his horrifying experiences imprisoned by the Separatists have made him extra cautious in all things. He keeps his photo of you safely tucked away and never brings it on missions, not wanting to risk it falling into the hands of anyone who would ever want to harm you
- Instead, whenever you're apart, he holds his hand to his chest before he drifts to sleep and dreams of you. The nightmares are all but gone
- Bonus: you two would totally have matching caf mugs with snarky sayings. "Grumpy parents in the morning" vibes all the way
