The Heart of the Bad Batch

Chapter 26: A Proposition

I let out a sigh as I carried a bag of fruits and vegetables into the house.

"Tech, do you have the soup on?" I asked as I walked into the kitchen.

"Of course." Tech said as I set the bag down.

"Good. I should have these cut in no time." I said as I pulled out a carrot.

I heard the door open and smiled as I saw the rest of the team walk in.

"Where is Omega?" I asked softly.

"She is with your mom. She needed some new clothes." Hunter said calmly.

Crosshair set down across from me and I sent him a smile.

"(Y/n), I think it's time we discuss something that we all have been wanting to talk to you about." Hunter said calmly.

"And what would that be?" I asked as I put the carrots in the pot.

I grabbed a piece of corn and started to shuck it.

"We all want to take you on a date." Wrecker said quickly.

The corn hit the table and I looked at them shocked.

"What?" I asked as my eyes went wide.

They all sent him a look and he shrugged his shoulders.

"You know I can't keep a secret." Wrecker said calmly.

Hunter let out a groan and rubbed his forehead.

"We all care for you and we want to take you on individual dates to see which of us you will choose." Tech explained.

"Guys I don't know if I can-"

"We have all agreed to not get mad. We will respect your choice." Hunter said softly.

"Though you could choose all of us." Echo said calmly.

They show him a look and he held his hands out.

"Just saying." He said calmly.

"If you choice Echo, I will be annoyed." Tech said calmly.

I shook my head and looked down at the corn.

"Can I think about it?" I asked softly.

"Of course. Take all the time you need." Hunter said softly.

"Just not to long, Mesh'la." Crosshair said with a chuckle.

"If I was to agree to this though... how would this work out?" I asked softly.

"Simple, we have the order written down. Hunter will go first, then Crosshair, then Wrecker, then me, and finally Echo." Tech explained.

"Why is Echo last?" I asked with a frown.

"Save the best for last of course." Echo said calmly.

"He picked the lowest number." Tech said calmly.

Echo rolled his eyes and I let out a small laugh.

"Who chose the number?" I asked softly.

"Omega." They all said quickly.

"I bet she changed it to let Hunter go first." Echo grumbled out.

I rolled my eyes and continued to fix the corn. When supper was finished, I called my mother and invited her over.

"I should of had you come live here sooner." Mom said as she sent me a smile.

"Thank Tech, he's the one who cooked most of it." I said as I grabbed my drink.

"I knew I liked him the most." She said softly.

"Mom-"

"Shutting up."

"Still think Crosshair is better." Dad mumbled as he took a bite of his food.

"Dad! No one is better than anyone. Now let's finish eating." I said softly.

"Hunter is the best." Omega mumbled under her breath.

"Okay! Fine... fine I will... I'll do it." I said softly.

Their eyes shot you and they sent me a look of shock.

"One date each." I said as I held a finger up.

They nodded their heads and I let out a sigh.

"If I do choose non of you can get mad... if you do... I will leave." I said sternly.

"We understand." Wrecker said with a nod of his head.

"Good.... Now let's finish dinner."

They nodded their heads and we continued to eat.

"So Hunter, when will you be taking her out?" Tech asked calmly.

"Tomorrow afternoon, I already have a place booked." Hunter said calmly.

"And how did you know I would say yes?" I asked with a frown.

"Lucky guess." Hunter said with a smile.

I shook my head and we finished eating. After we finished I had Wrecker carry Omega to her room.

"So where are you planning on taking me tomorrow?" I asked with a smile.

"You will have to wait and see." Hunter said with a small smile.

"Can I at least know what to wear?"

"I already have something for you." He said as he show me a smirk.

"Why do I feel like you had Omega go shopping so that she could get me an outfit?" I asked with a frown.

He shrugged his shoulders before he turned and walked away.

"Well at least I know it is going to be interesting." I said softly.
