If Ahsoka was a fire in her youth, blazing fierce and brash and beyond containment, now she is a long-burning lantern, bright and warm and steady – the kind that can light up a pitch-black cave all on its own. She is taller and stronger, her montrals curving gracefully above her head like a crown, her lekku trailing gloriously long down her back. Grace paints every motion of her body; wisdom and age and lessons hard learned sit in every curve and angle of her face. She has grown so magnificent that Rex can hardly speak when he first looks at her.

Ahsoka’s heart nearly does leaps and bounds in her chest. She hops up onto the stool and crosses one leg over the other to support her sketchbook, his shirt riding up around her thighs, leaving swaths of her skin on display. It’s a strangely sensual act—Ahsoka doubts any renowned renaissance painter was also mostly nude when painting their subject. But she feels a sense of serenity around Rex. One that allows her to pour individuality into each line and divot as he remains perfectly still on the bed, aside from the soft rising and falling of his chest. A part of Ahsoka had probably always registered Rex as attractive, but in this moment she finds him truly beautiful. Although most of Rex’s figure is on display for her to see in reality, selfishly, she’d like to keep parts of this moment to herself.

Her hand moves delicately as she creates a small folding of the sheets around his hips, concealing his pelvis from the viewer. The way his hips are angled though continue to convey a sense of sexuality, mischief, that Ahsoka finds in his face and body language nearly breathtaking every time she looks up from her work. It must be a luxury to draw someone like this. A true gift of trust for someone to forfeit their own perception of themselves to an artist in hopes that they will receive something wonderful in return. Even though Rex is technically the naked one, Ahsoka finds that she feels rather vulnerable as she sits there on the stool, the object of his desires at this very moment."

So why is it that when she stands there, both of their hands on the helmet he’s carefully painted with her markings, and she looks into his eyes that something deep within her settles into place? An eternity passes in an instant but when she lifts her hand away and the connection between them is broken the feeling is still there, nestled in between her heart and rib cage.

It feels like coming home.

No, that’s not quite it.

He feels like home.

“How long does it take for sodium thiopental to start working?”

Rex’s eyes widened as he looked over at Ahsoka from where he was crouched in a forced kneel, handcuffed to the cement foundation of the warehouse. Their uniforms had been removed down to the base layer—a black, standard issue, undershirt tank top and boxer briefs for them both—so there was plenty of access to their skin. He hadn’t seen their captors inject her with anything, but she was a seasoned enough agent that there must be a reason she was asking. Now that he thought of it, he didn’t remember them stripping him either. “Why?” he asked, equal parts suspicious and anxious.

“Because I think your eyes are beautiful,” she shrugged.

“Ahsoka-” Rex hesitated for a moment, trying to find the right words for what he wanted to say, before continuing, “Why are you here?”

“What do you mean?” Her face had a quick flash of puzzlement but her tone was gentle.

“Are you here because of the rebellion?”

“No, Rex.” She stepped closer and looked him square in the eyes, “I’m here for you.”

He gazed down at the female togruta who just laid there watching them. Walking down the dune, Jesse snarled while Fives looked ready to pounce. With a huff, Rex stood tall looking up at the female where she laid on the rock.

“You have one of my baby brothers.” Rex growls showing teeth.

The female squinted down at him for a few moments, “You're not ready to survive out here.” She looked behind him at his pack, “None of you were ready for the harsh life of the desert.”

He shrugged, swinging her sword in his hand just once. Then, he reached for its sheath. “There were ten of us. Fox was already involved with Pantora. I was the one offered on the table since I keep getting myself tangled with Coruscant.” The sword clicked after he kept it away, its cover hiding the blade from view. “With you.”

Regardless, the absolute last thing Rex had expected when he dropped by Dex’s One-Stop Grocery Shop for a six pack was for the first words he heard out of Ahsoka’s mouth in over a year to be “Fuck me” as “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree” played in the background.

“Give me a reason to leave all this behind and pick up the fight again,” she murmured as she stole a kiss and the bottle.

“I can’t,” he answered, nipping her bottom lip. “I don’t want to lose you.”

“Whoa,” she murmured.

“What is it?” he asked, sounding surprised.

“I didn’t know humans could have hair here.”

Rex laughed, and put a hand over hers. He was so warm, that she didn’t want to stop touching him.

“I think we got so used to each other we didn’t realize we’d be different.”

He followed her lead, watching as her starmallow reached the perfect shade of brown before she blew on it and popped it into her mouth.

"Are they safe for you to eat?" he asked skeptically, taking his own starmallow from the fire. He still wasn't entirely sure what he was dealing with here.

"Sure. It's mostly sugar and some gelatine," she replied with a casual shrug, even as he eyed her warily. He had heard her make similar assurances before, only to suffer the consequences of indulging in something she shouldn‘t have later.

"What's gelatine?" he asked.

"It's made from animal—you know what, just trust me, it's safe. Just try it," she urged.

That was not what catches his attention, although it was a relief to see that the final moving box was taken care of.

No. What made him stop and stare was what she was wearing.

The first visual were her long and bare legs, a distraction themselves. Then a blue garment that looked like a tent in her small body. A hoodie, his mind provided.

His hoodie.

And that was it.

Heartmarks aren't rare among humanoids in the galaxy; they are, however, rare among clones. Rex can name on one hand which of his brothers were blessed with soulmates, especially those who were still alive.

(Are heartmarks a blessing or a curse? Rex is never sure of the answer.)

The middle dragon was by far the biggest. His dull scales made it hard to make out if his scales were yellow or gold. Cautious golden eyes held more reluctance to engage with her if it came down to a fight. The other was similar to the first, brown and black scales. The difference in him was the mass of black scales on the side of his right temple creating a 5.

The first one steps forward again, shaking his wings and letting out a low roar. Not to be outdone she too stepped forward but let out a more aggressive high-pitched roar trailing off with a low hiss. Her spines flared and rippled in combativeness. He backed off and looked at the dull yellow dragon. He grunted and turned away, not seeming to want to fight her. They disappeared over the dune moments later.

“That’s why Echo’s better. You’re up to something.”

“Am not! I’m just trying to determine where I stand. Now I know not to buy your drinks next time, not worth it.”

“Yeah Rex, there’s gotta be someone out there that you like more than Cody or Echo? Who is it?” Jesse added, a devious curl of his lips accompanying the statement. Again, Rex’s mouth betrayed him, and the words tumbled from his lips against his will. “I like Ahsoka more. She’s nice.”

“Just nice?” Fives countered. Then, without subtlety whatsoever, Fives stated, “You like her, don’t you?”

Rex greets Ahsoka softly, not wanting to set her off. She's exactly where he expected her to be, aggressively laminating pastry dough by hand as though it had personally offended her, her cloak still on with the hood up. She doesn't acknowledge him. Maybe it's the moving meditation. Her massive sleeves are covered in flour. Rex bites his cheek to keep himself from laughing. This isn't the time.

'Do you want some help with that?' Rex asks, approaching Ahsoka from behind, hardly noticing the fluttering in his chest as he puts his hands around her middle, resting his head gently on her shoulder to watch. Ahsoka flinches, but allows it.

...she's never flinched at his touch before. 

With a deep sigh, Ahsoka hangs her head, refusing to let go of the rolling pin. 'Can you just stay like that Rex?' She asks quietly. 

So she does still want him. To touch and be around her at least. Well, Rex can pretend everything is normal if she can.

'Of course cy- Soka.' Rex presses his lips together, not breathing until Ahsoka begins folding the dough again. 

He doesn't see Ahsoka squeezing her eyes tightly shut, nor the broken expression on her face at his slip-up. Maybe Rex would allow himself to speak freely if he didn't have to leave her, or if he didn't think it would send her running again, but that isn't his life.

'So…what are we baking tonight?' Are the words that leave his mouth instead.

A week later she asked, “Are you mad at me?”

He was sharpening a hunting knife while she was reading on the couch. He glanced up. “What? No.”

“You’ve barely spoken to me. Do you not want me here?”

It came out more sternly than he’d intended: “I always want you here.”

“Then what’s the problem?”

He wasn’t used to talking about his feelings. He wasn’t used to having feelings. “I’m…upset,” he managed, though it felt a little like gutting himself open. “That you enlisted.”

Her face softened. “Of course I enlisted. It’s what I’ve been training for. What my whole life revolves around.”
