Chapter Summary: Prompt from anonymous: hi im sorry if you already have a a lot of requests but if you have time could you write something where the reader is a mechanic working for the rebels who has a huge crush on luke and other mechanics/pilots tease her about it & accidently let it slip around luke if that makes sense.


"SON OF A BANTHA-!" You shrieked in pain as your finger got pinched between gears, yanking your hand back out of the engine of the X-Wing you had been shoulder deep in.

"You doing okay over there, _?" One of the other Rebel mechanics stared up at you from where she had been working on the underbelly of the ship.

"Peachy." You growled, shaking your hand out as your finger began to swell. "The engine decided it wanted to eat my finger."

"You should have Luke kiss it better." Another mechanic, Tansen, working on Y-Wing that had definitely seen better days (aka, it was more scorched metal than actual Y-Wing), grinned and waggled his eyebrows at you. "I bet he gives great kisses!"

Heat bloomed across your cheekbones as you half-heartedly chucked a rag at his face. "Shut up!"

"Ooooooh, look at how red they are!" One of the pilots, Gina Moonsong, chortled, hanging out of the cockpit she was in. "You've got it baaaaaad for him!"

"You don't even know the half of it." Your friend under the X-Wing, Dynel'a, said solemnly, like she was confiding a high-class Rebel secret. "One time, Luke came into the hanger when they were working on welding a metal plate back onto a wing and-"

"Okay, you have officially said too much!" You declared loudly, trying to banish the lingering blush on your skin and focus on the task back hand. "My finger is fine and I am definitely not in love with Luke Skywalker, no matter what you say-"

"What about me?"

You would forever pride yourself on containing the 'eep!' that had almost jumped out of your throat, even if you couldn't contain your flinch.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

"Oh, hey Skywalker!" Gina smirked at Luke from her cockpit. "We're just talking about you and your ki-"

"Fighting skills!" You near-shout, heart jumping out of your chest when the Rebellion's greatest pilot looks up at you. "You put this X-Wing through a h-hell of a run sometimes." Faint snickers from Dynel'a, Tansen and the others echoed around the hangar.

"Yeah, I try not to damage them too badly, but when an Imp is on your tail, well…" He said with faint embarrassment, rubbing the back of his neck. You have a hard time not staring. "Sorry. I don't try to make your life difficult."

"It's fine." Dynel'a chirps and you make a silent promise to yourself to make each one of them pay for this later. "They don't mind it."

"Well, thank you though. The ship's never failed me yet." He said with a smile and the blush comes back with a roaring vengeance. You pray to any god you can think of that it's not visible on your cheeks. "Gina, you want to go on a run tonight? See how the engine handles?"

"Sounds like a plan, Skywalker." The female pilot says and he grinned, waving before heading off back into the base, no doubt for some mission or meeting.

"You are horrible people." You declared as soon as he was out of earshot, glaring at the technicians and pilots in the hangar. "And I hate each one of you."

"Nah you don't." Tansen smiled, eyes comically wide in an effort to look innocent. "Just wait, we're gonna get you a date with him one of these days."

"Maybe he can take you off in his X-Wing and go to some romantic planet."

"You should go to Naboo! I hear it's beautiful there!"

"Naboo is a good place for romance. I'll drop a suggestion to him some time." Gina ignored your heated glare, tapping her chin thoughtfully. "Biggs, you down to help me?"

"You got my help, boss!" Said pilot shouted from somewhere nearby, sounding far too enthusiastic about the idea.

"Bantha fodder, the lot of you." You muttered as you disappeared back into the engine block of the X-Wing, the playful laughter of the others bouncing around the hangar.


A/N: This was the fic that spawned a ton of Luke/reader requests that showed up in my inbox a few days later. This was really fun to write and I've decided that Luke is a lot of fun to write. He's so calm and easy going for the most part, except for when he turns angsty-Jedi-Master-hiding-on-an-island. Then he's not so fun.

As always, I'm on Tumblr and I'm hoping you're having a great day!
