Fives, a bundle of nerves and excitement, couldn't decide if he was more eager or apprehensive. All his brothers in the 501st had heard countless stories about his partner, thanks to his incessant chatter. But how could he not? They were absolutely perfect in every way, and he couldn't help but share his enthusiasm with anyone who would listen.
Echo, no doubt, had heard more than his fair share. Fives couldn't recall how many times he'd been smacked on the back of the head after he wouldn't shut up. But he was determined to make this introduction special.
Now, he was going to introduce them to hid brothers and the 501st. Well, at least the ones at 79's. He grinned as he squeezed their hand, pulling them inside the cantina.
He spotted Echo at the bar, engaged in a lively conversation with Kix, Hardcase, and Jesse. Fives couldn't help but grin. He'd probably interrupted their banter, but he doubted they'd mind. Rex stood nearby, his gaze fixed on a nearby holotable.
Fives stopped beside his partner, a proud gleam in his eyes. "Echo!" he called out, his voice carrying over the noise. "The time you've all clearly been waiting for. I would like to introduce you all to the one and only, love of my life," he announced, gesturing towards his partner both both hands.
"You're real?" Hardcase joked, taking a sip of his drink as Rex looked up.
Fives huffed in response, shifting to wrap an arm around his partner instead and pull them closer.
