Robbie and Baby share a brotherly bonding moment.

Okay I have a very short and sweet rambling thing that I have to get out of my head:

When Echo first joins he’s not exactly sure how much of his personality he should show. He keeps a bit more to himself, he’s confined himself to a box. He has a list of stories he’s able to tell without too many questions and without anything too close to home threatening the fragile wall he’s built up. He avoids too many late night conversations and won’t drink enough to get any more than slightly buzzed so he doesn’t let any carefully guarded secrets out. He’s not subtle, they all see what he’s doing, but he keeps it up for awhile and they let him have his privacy. It was only a week or two before it started to slip out. It’s a comment egging Wrecker on when the big guy clearly wants to cause a bit of trouble or blow something up unnecessarily. Or the sass he throws right back at Crosshair when the sniper is getting too cocky. Or how he sidles up to Tech and asks “do you want to see how much we can modify the caf pot before it catches fire?” But really. He’s tip toeing. Specifically around his CO. He doesn’t know why, but he just can’t seem to let himself just be. But then, miraculously, there it is. It’s a sarcastic remark he can’t bite back that is aimed directly at Hunter. Hunter, who pauses and looks over at him, careful not to let his expression give him away.

“What did you just say?” Hunter challenges. Now, unfortunately, the whole squad has eyes on him and he’s trying not to panic. Did he overstep? Was Hunter angry at him? He’s frozen as Hunter makes his way over to him, tipping his head a bit and looking him over with a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Go ahead. Say it again.” Echo kind of wants to throw up? Run? Anything but stand there in the middle of the ship with everyone watching him and waiting for him to get reprimanded. But who is he if not stubborn? So he does. He says it again. And to his horror, his absolute horror, Hunter smiles.

And it’s the same look Rex always gave him when he was being a little shit and needed to be knocked down a peg. A look so familiar it almost reminds him that when Rex used to give him that look he used to run as fast as he could before the captain could do anything. Because when Rex caught up to him, and oh he always did, he’d have to endure the big brother side of Rex. The side that kept him trapped in a headlock until he tapped out. The side that wrestled him to the ground and tickled him to pieces. The side that lifted him over his shoulder and tossed him into lakes and absolutely destroyed him in pillow fights and never once let him win a wrestling match.

That look, the one that told him he was about to get messed with, was being aimed at him and he didn’t even register it until Hunter went to reach for him and he instinctually took off. It took maybe ten seconds for Hunter to catch him but, in his defense, the ship is small. He does have to endure the same playful punishment from Hunter that he had to from Rex. And he’s, truthfully, kind of happy about it. Yes, Hunter will find new, creative ways to annoy him or get him back for all the sarcastic comments. Hunter will even make sure to double down when he’s too stubborn to admit defeat, convincing the rest of the batch to gang up on Echo with him. But it means he’s falling into rhythms he didn’t know would ever be possible again. It means he still has brothers, after everything. He never holds his tongue again. He throws things, and is loud, and petty, and he gets up to things he knows he shouldn’t. He bickers with Crosshair and helps Wrecker get away with sneaking extra fire power onto the ship, and helps Tech hack things they should leave alone. And he sends his best “I’m totally innocent” smile Hunter’s way when he gets caught (even if Hunter never falls for it). Because he’s comfortable now. And he’s thrilled. And so are all of the batch.
