Take Us With You

Day 9 ~ Christmas Life Day fair/market ~ late shopping (together) ~ Hunter & Omega, Hunter x Reader

Word Count: 850 Content: fluff, talk about legacy, mentions of clones accelerated aging

You clung to Hunter’s hand, trying your best not to get separated from him in the bustling crowds of Life Day Festival goers. You could tell he was uncomfortable, but the poor, sweet man was determined to pick out gifts for each of his siblings, even if Life Day was tomorrow.

“We still need something for Omega,” he grumbled as the two of you sat outside a small cafe, sipping hot cocoa. He’d looked at practically every booth for just the right thing, considering your suggestions, but nothing sat right with him.

“Darling,” you smiled softly at him. “You know she’s going to love whatever you give her, don’t you?”

He sighed. “Yeah, I know,” he agreed. “It’s just– she’s growing up, you know? I mean it was easier just a few years ago. I could get her a stuffed toy or art supplies–”

“She would still love art supplies.”

“She doesn’t draw as much as she used to.” He sighed again, pulling his silver-streaked hair loose from the small bun he’d situated at the back of his head, rubbing at his scalp. You watched his eyes grow sad. “I want her to have something that will last. She’s gonna be the last of us left. We always thought we wouldn’t live long enough to have a legacy but then she came along and now, it’s her.”

You gripped his hand. “You’ve raised a kind, smart, capable young woman, Hunter. That’s a beautiful legacy to leave behind. And I think I have an idea.”

The next morning, you rose lazily to find your husband still snoozing. You smiled. It had taken so long to get him to not only be able to sleep comfortably for more than a couple hours at a time, but to sleep deeply enough to wake after the sun rose.

You scooched yourself closer, brushing his long hair from his face so you could press soft kisses against his jaw.

“Mmm?” he hummed, his eyes barely open.

You smiled at him. “Good morning, sergeant.”

He hummed again. “Too early,” he decided, lifting the blanket to flop it over top of you.

“It’s Life Day, honey,” you laughed. “If we don’t get up soon, our bedroom is going to be invaded by–”

As if on cue, the door to your room slid open, revealing Omega and Batcher. 

Batcher was on the bed in an instant, giving hushed barks as she bounded onto Hunter, licking his face. Omega laughed from the doorway, where you joined her as the ambush quickly turned into a hound wrestling match. 

After begging, pleading, and eventually bribing with the promise of Wrecker’s cookies, Batcher jumped off the bed, trotting off to the kitchen.

“Morning,” Omega laughed as she left.

When the two of you finally came downstairs, Wrecker was making breakfast with Omega and Batcher working as enthusiastic taste-testers. 

Echo had gotten in yesterday and was sitting at the table on a datapad, still looking somewhat asleep as he sipped his caf.

It wasn’t long before the doorbell rang, revealing Crosshair, Tech, and Phee.

Gifts were exchanged and your little house on Pabu was filled with laughter, joy, and warmth.

Once everything began to settle down, you knew there was one more gift being given. 

Omega had made her way to the balcony outside for some fresh air, and a moment later, Hunter joined her.

“Hey kid,” he smiled.

She chuckled. “Not so much a kid anymore,” she said, her lips growing into a smirk. “Old man.”

Hunter laughed and agreed. “I know, I know. You’re all grown up.” He went quiet for a moment, watching the waves lap against the docks not far below the house. “You know, Mega, I tried to find the perfect thing to give you today. We even went off-world to a festival to look at their shops. But in the end, I couldn’t come up with anything that felt right.”

“Hunter, you know I’d like anything–”

“I know, I know,” he waved her off. “But I wanted to get the right thing. This might be the last one of these we’ve got with you–

Omega balked. “Don’t talk like that!”

“I didn’t mean it like that. Omega, I know you’ve been talking to Echo about joining the rebellion,” he smirked at her.

“Ah,” she sighed. “I wondered if you knew.”

He took her hand. “You’re going to do great things, kid, and Echo, Rex, and the others aside,” he gestured to their brothers inside. “We’re getting too old to keep up with you out there.”

He reached up, untying his ever-present bandana, letting the curls it typically held back fall in his face. “Clone Force 99 is gonna live on in you long after we’re gone and I want you to take us with you in a small way.” 

He set it atop her head and tied it under her ponytail. She was beaming. Once he stepped back to admire it, she made a couple of little adjustments.

“How does it look?” she grinned.

“It suits you,” he said, pulling her into a tight hug.

Christmas fair, Plaza Mayor

Christmas Bazaar SEASON

This is the time of year that makes me want to learn how to crochet because I want to MAKE A GIANT WHALE SHARK and TINY OCTOPUS. This is a need. Also that chicken. It is time to buy earrings and honey and jam and sodas from the sports team and anything but those 3D printed creatures.

Like I get the idea but idk man it feels sterile in comparison to Grandma Becky and her granddaughters trying to sell their clay earrings and bulky-weight knit hats.

It is time to browse for Christmas presents for your friends that might end up squirreled away in your own home. Cookies and specialty popcorn and caramel. Ornaments and dog treats. My neck of the woods hosts them in high schools and churches, where the orchestra/band/choir gets up and plays Christmas carols while browsing.

Depending on the parking and how popular it is, you're going to want to get there very early in the morning, but you're in luck, the Holy Grounds coffee shop is open. Or middle schoolers are desperately trying to make an Italian soda.

It's a fun Saturday, and you get to support local businesses over buying everything last minute off of Amazon and praying that it comes in time. I bought my friend mini whisks to hang in her ears. Phenomenal. There used to be a clockmaker. Once you get to know the people, they come back every year. The same company makes headbands and I buy one every Christmas, and now I have a small collection in my closet.

You say you want a cozy fantasy life, cozy fantasy is found at a Christmas Bazaar. Admission is free. Well, at least it is in my neck of the woods.

that thing wherein you're reading something and just KNOW

"this person has completely forgotten that the characters here live in Japan/Korea/China/Russia"

and is, instead, writing like an American.

Every December for a few years now I feel conflict over whether I should post about the officially liscenced Star Wars Christmas-themed short story collection in order to express how it is actually good stuff despite coming from the Disney's Cash Cow era and random shit with "Christmas" slapped on it being an old & very basic marketing technique. But like it's genuinely so good and steadfastly on the themes of Star Wars throughout. That "defiantly hopeful & optimistic" is the glue holding the whole collection together. How under the jolly red-and-green cover it's a genuine exploration of trauma & loss & inequality. That it not even for a second trivializes the struggles of its characters due to those things. That the only thing that kept me from sobbing reading it was because it takes nothing less than 3 days of heavy stress for me to cry. That I was still 35% of the way to crying. From the Disney's Star Wars Christmas short story collection, that I read a free digital copy of with expectations below the floor for because of the marketing gimmick red flags. But is actually genuinely so good.
