tbb!echo crush hc’s
mmmmmm we love a man with experience
unlike the rest of those clone force 99 losers echo actually knows how to pull a girl
it’s been a while, and he’s a little nervous about that, but he’s still got it
to echo, it’s so easy to like you. you’re amazing!
he has zero issues talking to you, he WANTS to talk to you, he loves being around you.
also. let’s not forget who he served with… “and then i said to her baby” fives and “we can just sneak in” hardcase. HE IS NOT SHY
he is introverted, but he isn’t socially awkward. he’s definitely had girlfriends and hookups and knows what the ladies like.
the one issue… it’s been a while. and he’s not too optimistic about his chances with his new body.
he’s never been rejected in his life and he is NOT going to risk that now.
i don’t think echo’s some soft baby.
in the bad batch, he’s a grump, he’s sarcastic, he’s no-nonsense. not to mention he’s basically the team’s second leader.
but you can still tell he’s insecure by the tired sighs he makes when he can’t do something the way he used to, and the self deprecating jokes he makes (“lucky me…”)
obviously WE don’t think echo’s chopped but in his mind he went from being a conventional stud to a pale bald man with a bunch of prosthetics.
so he lowkey just doesn’t make a real move on you for a while
he just quietly watches you, being as nice as he is to omega (i say omega because he’s very sarcastic with the other adults on the ship but i think he’d be sweeter with you)
he also does little things to help you or make your day. like putting out your caf cup or putting your clothes in the dryer if you’re off the ship (or something akin, idfk what the laundry situation is in star wars)
then one day, you hug him or give him a kiss on the cheek or rest your on his shoulder—just SOME GESTURE to show you care about him, you love him, you aren’t scared of him.
either that or you give him an absentminded compliment, about his eyes or his jawline or something.
confidence floods his brain as the only barrier keeping him from pursuing you is broken (worrying if you find him attractive)
then the Echo Experience begins.
suddenly he’s everywhere in the best way possible.
he’s offering to help with everything, not pushy like tech or over enthusiastic like wrecker. just… “hey, need a hand?” when he KNOWS you do.
every mission without fail, he gently caresses your elbow and says “nice job out there,” in passing.
gawd if he doesn’t know how to get a girl to fall for him.
don’t even get me started on the listening
echo is so good at listening, you can yap to him about anything and he’ll ask QUESTIONS.
it takes less than a week for you to be head over heels.
echo knows how to get the girl.
sorry the crushing period was basically over once he conquered his one insecurity regarding you. it is now the courting period before he dates you. because he WILL pull you.
this man used to be surrounded by girls at 79’s. he pulled a lot of ladies by being fives’s quiet, sexy brother who was always there but was never obnoxious.
now he’s more responsible and very hardened. but he’s still charming. he’s still flirty.
he is 1000% one of those fuckers who tells you ‘mesh’la’ means ‘friend’ and ‘cyar’ika’ means ‘pal’
the bad batchers look on in shock and horror as they take in the sheer amount of game that echo has.
he can still throw you a smirk or a cute devilish grin that makes your heart do a flip.
he knows how to touch you just ENOUGH so that you get butterflies but not so much that you realize his feelings.
a hand on your lower back, a hand on your elbow, a light smack on your shoulder, the occasional comforting pat on the knee.
he remains being sweeter with you than the rest of his brothers. he’s not so whipped that he thinks you can do no wrong, but he’s much more gentle with your mistakes than if, wrecker’s.
he’s always got an eye on you on missions
he also stays up late to make sure you go to sleep.
1000000/10 echo is so peak please give him all your love and attention.
and if anyone here wants fucking evidence... THIS POST GOT MORE LIKES AND COMMENTS THAN THE OTHERS. HE PULLS. HE PUUUULLLLLS.
