1389 words
âââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
Order 66 ruined everything. Everyone knows that. It ruined relationships, tore loved ones away⌠for the clones, Order 66 took away everything theyâve ever known. The Republic? Broken. Corrupted. Known as the Empire, now. Their generals? Their Jedi? Theyâre gone. Most dead, others in hiding. Their brothers? Well, they were scattered across the galaxy. Some dead, others traitors, others not even the same. They lost everything. Rex lost everything. Once a captain of many and a trusted friend, now in his lonesome and in hiding. But do you know what else he lost that almost all clones didnât have?
Rex lost you.
His love. His angel. His life. His woman. His cyarâika.
And kriff, did he miss you. Words could not explain the anguish he had felt when the order was released, when he was aware once again and remembered you were out there, somewhere. Without him, his protection, by yourself⌠Rex could only pray to whatever higher being there was in this god-forsaken galaxy that you were safe, that maybe you were hiding like him. If you werenât, then Rex⌠Rex didnât like to think about that. But he knew you were out there. Somewhere, across the stars, somewhere in this vast galaxy.
And by the Maker, he would find you. Even if it cost him his life. He would find you.
â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â
âCyarâikaâŚâ
Rex held his comm to his mouth as he spoke, slumped against the wall. It had been a couple of weeks since he had gone into hiding. He believed it had been maybe three? Thereâs twenty-one days in three weeks. Thereâs twenty-four hours in a day. At least on this planet. He would call at least every ten hours. Thatâs two calls every day. Thatâs forty-two missed calls.
âI just wanted to see how my girlâs doinâ.â He elaborated, a bittersweet smile on his lips as he sat in the slowly brightening alley. âIâm getting by. Just surviving, right now. None of my brothers recognize me. The imperials are always lurking around every corner. I can finally relate to how the Jedi feel. These cloaks werenât ever really meant for someone like me.â He continued, a little humorless laugh escaping him, trying to lighten the mood. He didnât know why, you werenât even on the call. He just wanted to leave a message. He just wanted you to know he was still up and kicking, because he was a stubborn bastard who refused to die.
âThese times are hard, I know, meshâla, but you just are gonna have to hang on tight for me, yeah? Iâm coming. Iâm gonna find you. I promise you that.â And Maker, he tried to keep that waver out of his voice, but he was really tired right now. He was just⌠he was really tired. He closed his eyes, bringing a gloved hand up and scrubbing at his worn face, before speaking again. âI miss you. A lot. But I know youâre out there, somewhere, and I swear to the Force, sweet girl, I will find you and weâll be together again.â He declared with determination, jaw clenching as he promised those words to you. âSâjust me and you against the galaxy, Name. Just me and you against the galaxy.â He breathed out, before looking around the alley, hearing the heavy footfall of the imperialâs boots and the marching of his brothers. Ah. It was time. Taking a deep breath in, he sighed through his nose before whispering to you one last time before hanging up.
âNi karâtayl gar darasuum, cyare.â
Forty-three missed calls.
â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â
It was warm.
Really warm.
Soft hands moved to cradle Rexâs face, thumbs smoothing out the captainâs worry lines and the furrow of his brow. Then soft lips pressed against it. A hushed whisper, then twoâ
âFive more minutes, love. Weâre on vacation,â
âBaby, I have to make breakfast,â
And heâd kiss you to shut you up, hold onto you a little longer and you both would fall back asleep while being embraced. He wouldâve held on longer and tighter if he knew itâd come to this. He wouldâve held on so tight, that maybe youâd be with him now.
The clone woke up in a confused daze, blinking the blurriness out of his eyes as he looked around for youâ oh. He was alone in a bed meant for two. It was just a dream. You werenât really here. You were still gone. That realization made Rex want to sob. His heart fell to his stomach, and it felt as if his own soul had been torn out of his body. He felt so hollow. Where are you, my sweet girl?
Slowly, sluggishly, Rex moved to grab one of the pillows on the other side of the bed, before tugging it to him. His arms circled around the inanimate object, face burying into it as he hugged it to him. The pillow was cold. You wouldâve been warm. And if you werenât, he wouldâve warmed you up. You were more firm. Something that he could feel, because youâd be breathing and he wouldâve heard your soft snores. This pillow wasnât you. It wasnât. It was an inanimate object. Not you.
âŚso why was he trying to pretend it was?
â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â
It had been months. Months, now. And yet Rex had never stopped looking.
He was still in hiding, though. Had been for too long. Well, he was. Now he was currently trying to help Echo find more clones and bring them in to join the Rebellion, or to at least give them a life that they wanted. Currently, however, he was being chased down by a bunch of imperials who happened to spot him. He swerved into another alley, before jumping over a bunch of boxes that were being shipped out to another planet.
In the adrenaline rush of that moment, he failed to notice the person who was hiding behind those boxes, and crashed into them before tumbling to the ground with them. A cry of pain left the other, and Rex groaned, about to rush off before glancing at the other. He bit his lip in conflict, before moving towards them and extending a hand. âIâm sorry. Are you okay?â He asked, noticing how the person wasnât an imperial. Or so he thought. He was being reckless right now.
Until they took his hand and looked up at him.
Oh. Oh.
âNameââ âRexâ?â
It was you. It was really you. More exhausted and burnt out looking, but so was he. Your hair had gotten longer. You had dark circles, but you looked absolutely beautiful to him. Rexâs mouth dropped as he struggled to make words, before something akin to a choked sob left him and he crashed into him, and didnât you respond with just as much enthusiasm. Your arms immediately wrapped around his shoulders and you gasped, one hand cradling the back of his head. His arms wrapped around your waist, his hands scrambling to hold at the back of your shirt while he embraced you, finally remembering what you felt like in his arms. âOh, Makerââ he gasped out, pulling away to cup your face in his hands, gasping like he didnât know how to breathe. âI found youâ Iâve finally found youââ
âI- I thought you and your brothersââ you stammered, and he shook his head. âChipsâ we have chips, I got mine removed, I justââ he cut himself off, before slamming his lips to yours. Conveying his worry, his fear, his determination, his longing, how he missed you, how much he loved you, you responded eagerly, holding the back of his head, before the two of you parted, breathless laughs leaving you. Rex grinned, tears in his eyes as he held you. âOh, how Iâve missed that,â he commented, and you smiled. âIâve missed you,â you responded, and Rex was about to reply until he remembered that you two were running.
Helping you up, he held your hand, and for once, he felt whole again. âCâmon, cyarâika. Us against the galaxy. Just the two of us.â He murmured, and you nodded. âYou can say that again.â You sighed out. You could cry and love in private later. But right now? You had to run, once again. This time together.
âNi karâtayl gar darasuum, cyare.â
âI love you too, Rex.â

I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
(Echo x F!reader X Fives)
Warningâs: Angst, canon character death (And Un-death?), Happy-ish ending
Words: 2201
It was never easy being a strategist for the grand republic army, but it had its perks. She had met some amazing people that she never would have if she hadnât joined up. Including her two closest friends. Echo and Fives where Arc troopers for the 501st Battalion, She had worked with them several times, and after another successful battle they weâre relaxing at 79âs having a celebratory drink, the two clones playfully competing for her attention, each in their own unique way. Echo stands next to her his hand just barely touching hers, occasionally looking in her direction with a smile as his brother Fives is doing every weird trick in the book to try to make her laugh. Â Fives tells an elaborate story about Captain Rex and General Skywalker, that may or may not be based in fact, but was certainly hilarious. Her laugh fills the air with its melodic quality, and Fives smile widens, a victory in his eyes. Echo rolls his eyes with a soft smile lingering on his lips. As she looks between the two of them she has a feeling swelling in her chest, warmth and love. These are her boys and that will never change.
~
She eagerly awaited for them to return from the citadel. She was pacing the barracks as she waited. She had helped them plan every detail, but there are so many unpredictable factors in their plan. Not to mention that Commander Ahsoka had taken General Plo Koonâs place in the mission. There was so little known about the Citadel and what they did there. She thought back to the last time he saw them.
âAre we sure this thing is safe? I donât want to end up a wall decoration.â Fives remarked as they got ready to enter the carbon freezing chamber.
âYouâll be fine Fives, just breathe.â She said giving him a smile. Â She had glanced at Echo and gave him a reassuring nod before they descended into the chamber
Was it reckless of her to make such a promise? Why had she not said something to Echo before they left? Â But before she has any more time to think about it sheâs interrupted by the sound of the door sliding open and Fives staggered in.
âFives!â She rushes to him side holding his face in her hands but as she looked into his eyes she saw only sadness. âWhatâs wrong?â she asked, worry etched in her expression.
âEchoâŚEcho, didnât make it. They had us outnumbered. He went in to helpâŚheâs gone. Heâs gone.â Fives could barely hold himself up, leaning on her for support. The devastation of the loss of his brother was too much to bare. She gently guided him to a bunk where they sat together, his head resting on her shoulder as she held him gently, starting to process her own feelings. Echo was gone, sacrificed himself for the cause. She knew that there was every chance this would happen, but she would have done anything for this not to happen to them, not her boys. She hadnât even noticed the tears streaking down her face. The pain was almost too much.
âH-he loved you, you know that right? HeâŚwanted toâŚafter the war⌠I wanted to, but Echo, he told me that night at 79s, that he wanted to take you out, but he wasâŚso afraid youâd say no⌠So IâŚâ Fives started to incoherently babble, it wasnât like she didnât know how they felt, and she wasnât blind.
âI know fives, IâŚI know.â She moved so that they were facing each other and pressed her forehead to his. Tears running down both their cheeks as they looked into the others eyes. They had both lost someone so special to the both of them, but they had each other. âI⌠I loved him, but, I love you too.â She looked into his amber eyes. âIs that okay?â
âYeahâŚYeah thatâs more than okayâŚâ Fives managed to give her a small smile, and in a brief moment of powerful emotions, he pressed his lips against hers. Maybe it was too soon, maybe he wasnât thinking. But He needed this, needed her. Needed to feel, something other than the overwhelming loss of his brother. She kissed him back, because yes, it was too soon, they werenât thinking, but they needed something good in a galaxy of bad.
~
The war had taken a toll on them, over time it felt harder and harder to keep going. Finding time for the two of them was even harder. Chaste kisses in empty hallways and moments alone were few and far between. The rumors were that the war was nearly over, but she didnât get her hopes up. As wandered out of the strategy meeting for an upcoming battle she felt the weight of the galaxy on her shoulders. She was tired, the last two years had been more than one being could possibly handle. As she walks through the all way towards the hanger she feels the familiar feeling of a hand from behind her pulling her hand, guiding her to an empty alcove. Fives sneaking her off for a moment alone. He smiles at her cupping her face in his hand.
âMeshâla, Glad I caught you before I have to ship out again.â He gave her a smile as he ran his thumb across her cheek.
âI am also glad, Feels like forever since Iâve seen you.â She leans into his touch, savoring the moment she knows is all too fleeting. âWhere are they sending you next?â
âRingo Vinda, itâs a big one, joining up with Doom and his boys. Weâll probably be gone for a while.â He says, trying to be enthusiastic, but being away form each other for so long was hard, It had become harder since She had been promoted and spent more time on Coruscant, and less time out in the field.
âWell, Iâll be thinking of you, every minute.â She said with a sad smile. Fives leans in and presses a quick kiss to her lips, lingering for just a second.
âIâll think of you every second.â He mutters as he pulled away. She laughed
âShow off.â
~
 The reports that came in from the battle of Ringo Vinda were horrifying. She had read over everything, she couldnât understand what would make Tup do that. It made absolutely no sense. And talking it over with Kix and Jessie at 79s made even less sense. When Kix got up to use the refresher she joined him sliding into the ladies to cool off a little. It was a very busy night at the bar, she would feel better if Fives was with her, but with everything going on she had more questions than answers. Something was very wrong, Fives would never attack the Chancellor. She just hoped they found him soon and figured out what was going on. As she steps out into the hallway she runs into a trooper.
âOh, Kriff. Sorry I wasnât-â She was interrupted by an all too familiar embrace.
âMeshâla, thank the maker.â Fives gasped, he pulled her against him and burrowed his face in the crook of her neck, taking in her scent once more.
âFives! What is going on, what are you doing here?â She asked, she was happy to see him, but also shocked. He pulled away from her and looked around scanning for anyone looking for them.
âI donât have time to tell you everything. Thereâs, a plot, thereâs these chips in our heads andâŚAll of us are in danger. Meshâla I⌠ Iâve gotta see this out.â He looked into her eyes pleading. She reaches up and touches his face.
âFives please, IâŚI canât lose you too.â She whispers.
âYou wonât I promiseâ and with that he was gone.
~
âHe said it was bigger than any of us, that he only wanted to do his duty, and the the mission and the nightmaresâŚwere over. ThenâŚHe was gone. IâŚâ Rex had sat down with her in a secluded place in the Temple, trying his best to explain what happened. She was shaking, she couldnât believe what he was telling her.
âNoâŚRex, please tell me their looking into it at least? He couldnât have died for nothing!â She was practically begging him, for answers. He looked so downtrodden, He knew how much She had lost, what he had lost, what they shared.
âIâm sorryâŚbut the chancellorâs doctors are sure it was a parasite.â He tried to be comforting, he wasnât fully convinced himself, but he had to try to convince her, so she can move on.
âA Parasite? RexâŚâ She was skeptical, this was more than a virus or a Parasite, there was more to this. She felt the sting of tears in the corner of her eyes, she leaned forward to put her head in her hands. She felt an ache in her chest. She just wanted to hear his laugh, she missed that. She missed the feeling of Echoâs hand just barely touching her own, the sparkle in his eyes. She missed her boys.
âI Know. I guess weâll just have to seeâ Rex spoke softly and reached out to touch her shoulder. They were clones, made to fight in this war, but at what cost?
~
When the war was over, it didnât take her very long to figure out something was very wrong, Despite having deciding to step down after fives death and having lived a civilian life style for a few months everything about this new empire felt wrong. The second Rex reached out saying he was trying to organize a clone resistance movement to help clone defecting the empire she was onboard immediately. But she definitely wasnât expecting what was to come. Neither was Echo. After being with the bad batch for a while, and coming to terms with his new way of life, he wasnât expecting the day that he decided to join the clone underground was also the day he was going to be face to face with the love of his life. She felt like her brain was brain short circuiting when he saw him. He had changed, obviously but, at the same time he was exactly the same. Echo is the first to approach putting his good hand on her face as tears come to his eyes.
âI never thought Iâd see you again,â His voice was whisper soft and full of emotions, He traced the shape of her cheeks and Jaw, in awe of the woman in front of him.
âNeither did I. I thought. I was sure, you were dead.â She fumbled over his words as she reaches for him, trying everything in her power to keep herself together.
âNot dead justâŚVery far away.â He said with a smile. âIâm sure, Rex told youâŚâ his voice trailed off, he didnât really want to talk about everything that had happened to him, He just wanted to see her, hold her, tell her how he felt. âI thought about you, all the time, at leastâŚIâd like to think I did, I know I did once I was out of there.â
âIâŚI know. I thought about you too, FivesâŚHe helped but, there was always someone missing.â She felt a tear roll down her cheek, she hadnât talked about Fives in a long time. Echo felt the sadness in her, felt it in himself.
âFivesâŚYou and HimâŚI heard.â Why was it so impossible to say a whole thought right now? Everything he wanted to say kept getting stuck inside him.
âYes, He and I were together, after youâŚHe told meâŚyou loved me. And IâŚI love you too, I justâŚKriff this is-â Echo didnât hesitate, pulling her close and pressing his forehead to hers, he needed to be closer to her, metal limbs be damned.
âI still love you. I know, I know itâs been a long time but, Iâll do anything to keep you safe, keep you with me, keep this⌠I wonât give up a second chance. If youâre willing to give it.â His breath on her skin, her arms around his neck, it wasnât the same, but it was damn good.
âMore than willing, happy to.â She mutters. âIâŚNeeded this, Needed you to comeback. And nowâŚâ
âIâm here. I wonât leave you behind. I promise.â He says sincerely. She flinches.
âDonâtâŚPromise things, FivesâŚHe made a promise he couldnât keep and It haunts me.â She closes her eyes as she felt even more tears peaking though. He understood, all too well, he understood.
âGot it, No promises.â His brow furrowed. âWhat did he promise?â
âThat I wouldnât lose him.â She murmurs as she looked back up at him, watching as the realization flickered in his eyes.
âI see. Iâm sorry Cyarâika, It seems for a while you lost us both.â Echoâs voice cracked slightly at the idea that sheâd been alone all this time.
âIâll be okay, now that youâre here.â She pressed her forehead closer to his, the sensation of having him close again was soothing, after missing him for so long. They had each other now. And they would, for a good long time after.

A Mother's Lullaby

Word Count: 3k
Authorâs Note: I came up with this one from a dream I had. All gestures are 100% platonic. The lullaby the reader sings can be found here. Honestly, these boys need all the cuddles, snuggles, and love they can get. As always, please enjoy! đ
After being away for several rotations on a long campaign with the 501st, you have finally made it back home to Coruscant. You leave your weary troops in the barracks and head towards your chambers to clean up and get some rest. You enjoy your first warm meal in what feels like forever and hop in the shower to wash the grime off your skin. You let the hot water caress your body as you stand underneath its invigorating spray, never wanting to leave the warmth.Â
You finish your shower, slip on your night clothes, and crawl into your bed. You nestle under the covers and take a deep breath, letting the familiar scents of your room fill your senses. Thereâs nothing quite like sleeping in oneâs own bed. At last, you can get some good sleep. Sleep during campaigns is always a hit or miss and never the top priority, but when youâre here, when youâre home, you can sleep comfortably knowing no one is trying to end your life or the life of your men.Â
However, tonight you endlessly toss and turn in your bed. You're exhausted, you know it, you can feel it. You want to sleep desperately, but something is keeping you awake. You continue to toss and turn, but slumber seems to escape you. You sigh and stare up at the ceiling in defeat. So much for a good night's rest. After all those long nights on the hard ground with blaster and cannon fire, you wish for nothing more than to sleep.
Unexpectedly, youâre pulled out of your thoughts by a presence entering your room. Itâs too dark to see anything, but through the force, you can see exactly who it is. âEcho?â you ask while sitting up against your pillow.
âAh, sorry to wake you general,â Echo answers while putting an awkward hand on his neck.Â
âI wasnât asleep,â you admit with a sigh as you rub your forehead. âAre you having trouble sleeping too?â
âIâŚâ Echo begins to answer, but hesitates, unsure of how to say what he wants to say. âI had a bad dream.â
You cock your head to the side and give him a sympathetic smile. âDreams are only dreams, Echo. They canât hurt you.â
âYeah,â Echo agrees half-heartedly. âI know.â
You sense he has something else to say, but he is too nervous to ask you. âIs there something else you want, Echo?â you ask to try and get him to tell you. âYou know you can talk to me about anything.â
Echo opens his mouth to speak, but then closes it. He doesnât want to step out of bounds with you as his general, but he also doesnât want to go back to the barracks. Finally, he musters the courage and asks. âCan I sleep here tonight?â
Youâre initially taken aback by the request, but your heart softens towards the tired clone. The nightmares that plague him must be horrific if he wants to sleep with his general. You think about it for a moment, but decide that it wonât hurt to let him stay the night with you. You pat the empty portion of the bed to the right of you to show him your approval. âCome here.âÂ
Still a little wary of the idea, Echo meanders his way over to the bed and crawls from the base up to where you are. You stretch out your arm and invite him to rest his head on your chest. He obliges with a little hesitancy and you gently drape your arm over his side and back. You can feel every ounce of tension in his body escape at your touch. He breathes deeply and lets out a relaxed sigh, knowing nothing can hurt him now.
You smile at the clone clinging to you and run your fingers through his hair. As a Jedi, youâre not allowed to have attachments, but thereâs nothing in the code that says you canât show compassion. These clones. Theyâre children, stuck in adult bodies, fighting a war that they never asked for. They never asked to be created. They never asked to be expendable. They never asked to be slaughtered. The least you can do is to offer them some sort of comfort.Â
As you settle in with Echo and to try to get some rest, you sense another presence come into your room. Perhaps you should keep your room locked from now on. As the figure enters your dark room, you can see through the force that its Fives. âLooking for Echo?â you ask knowingly.
âUh, yeah,â Fives answers with a jolt of surprise. âHowâd you know?â
âThe domino twins will always be inseparable,â you chuckle softly. âWhere one goes, the other usually follows.â
âI didnât think we were that predictable,â Fives rolls his eyes.
âLetâs just say that it doesnât take a force wielder to know your thoughts,â you explain with a smile. âWould you like to join your brother?â
âI canât sleep well without him nearby,â Fives admits as he crawls over the base of the bed and scooches next to Echo.
âBetter?â you ask while looking over at him.
âMuch better,â Fives answers as he nuzzles into the blankets.
You look down at both the clones now sleeping in your bed and you smile. You never thought something like this would occur, but here you are. Itâs not that you donât want them here, but you do feel a weird sense of maternal instinct as they lay there in your presence. Clearly they feel safe with you, but youâre not sure why. Other than being their General, leading them into battle, force healing their wounds, and giving them pep-talks, youâre not sure why they are attached to you.
Your thoughts are once again interrupted by a figure entering your room. You let out a slightly exasperated sigh when you realize it is yet another clone tip-toeing his way into your bedroom. âLooking for something, Jesse?â you ask the sneaking clone.
Caught by surprise, Jesse stumbles back into the wall. âUh, well, you see,â he begins to explain in earnest. âEcho and Fives arenât in their bunks, and theyâre usually up to no good when theyâre together, so I went looking for them.â
âWell, you found them,â you point out in a hushed tone. âTheyâre right here, sleeping with me.âÂ
Jesse pauses as he thinks about the situation before him. âCanâŚâ he begins to ask. âCan I sleep here too?âÂ
âI donât see why not,â you answer. Your bed is definitely big enough, but youâre still not sure why all these clones want to sleep in your room. They have the barracks and bunks of their own, and they sleep with all their brothers. It is odd to you, but nevertheless, you let him climb into bed with you, Echo, and Fives. He crawls over the end of the bed and situates himself on the left side of the bed, across from the others. Close, but not close enough to touch you. You smile at his reservation.Â
As you begin to nod off, youâre pulled awake by yet another disturbance in your room. You wonder if youâre ever going to get any sleep at this rate. You look up at the figure standing across from the bed and with a sigh you ask them what they want. âWhat do you need Hardcase?â
âOh, you knew it was me, huh?â Hardcase asks with a little embarrassment.
âYou have a very distinct pattern in the force,â you answer with a small yawn.
âReally?â he questions with great interest. âI do?â
âTechnically, you all do,â you explain further. âSo, what can I do for you?â
âJesse, Echo, and Fives arenât in their bunks,â Hardcase begins to explain. âI thought they went to the refresher, but when they didnât come back, I got worried.â
You smile at him and his concern for his brothers. âDonât worry,â you soothe. âTheyâre right here with me.â
âWhat?â he questions with reproach. âThey get to sleep with you? No fair!â
âWould you like to sleep here too?â you propose, thinking one more clone wouldnât hurt.Â
âReally?â he asks with excitement. âCan I?âÂ
âOnly if you keep your voice down,â you hush as you feel Echo stir under your arm.
âOh,â he quickly whispers. âRight. Gotcha. Iâll be quiet.â
Hardcase crawls into bed next to Jesse and Jesse wraps an arm around his brother to make sure he feels included. You look around at the group of clones covering your bed and let out a small chuckle. Youâre not sure how one turned into four, but thereâs no going back now. You can only hope that no more wayward clones will show up in your bedroom looking for a different place to sleep or their missing brothers.
However, your thoughts betray you as you sense Kixâs force presence entering your room. Should have seen that one coming. âIf youâre looking for Echo, Fives, Jesse, or Hardcase, theyâre here with me,â you announce, deciding to jump to the chase.Â
âYou sound exhausted,â Kix jests as he folds his arms. âI can make them leave, you know.â
âItâs fine,â you answer while running your fingers through Echoâs hair. You remind yourself why you began this little clone sleepover in the first place and smile softly. âSometimes, we just need each other.â
âAmen to that,â Kix agrees. âYou got room for one more?â
âOf course,â you smile at the medic. âGrab a spot wherever you can find one.â
Kix crawls over Jesse and Hardcase, kicking them playfully in the process, and flops himself across from you near the edge of the bed. He grabs a fistful of covers and nuzzles them softly. You smile wide at his childish movements. They really are just children. Children who had their childhoods stolen from them. You canât quite reach Kix, but if you could, you would rub his back to lull him to sleep. Maker knows medics need their sleep.
No sooner does Kix settle in, do you feel another force presence enter the room. This one is a little more cautious, as if heâs contemplating that he doesnât belong. You feel his hesitation and call out to him. âDogma. You can come in.â
âGeneral,â he acknowledges as he steps closer. âI donât mean to intrude.â
âYouâre not intruding, Dogma,â you reassure the hesitant clone.
âCanâŚâ Dogma begins, still feeling like heâs not allowed to ask for this. âCan I sleep here too?â
Your heart softens at his innocent and heartfelt plea, and you smile at him. âYes, Dogma. Youâre welcome here too.â
He smiles back and crawls across the edge of the bed and nestles neatly just below Echo and Fives. You wonder about Dogma sometimes, because he keeps to himself a lot and has trouble opening up to others. You feel great reservation from him, even on the battlefield. But youâve heard from the others that his previous general was abusive and uncaring. It breaks your heart that anyone could be so malicious towards such beautiful souls. They didnât deserve that.
Suddenly, you feel an intense presence of sadness and fear enter your room. Your heart begins to race as the force scrunches around you. You want to jolt up out of bed, but you donât want to disturb your sleeping clones. As the force becomes less distorted, you can finally see who it is. âTup?â you ask with concern. âAre you okay? You scared me.â
âThey left me alone,â Tup says through a shaky breath while clenching his fists. âI donât want to be alone.â
The pain in his voice breaks your heart. Every ounce of maternal instinct in you tells you to get up and hug this sad clone until all his pain is gone, but you canât get up at the moment, not with all these sleeping clones surrounding your every side. Instead you invite him to come join you by patting the open real estate next to your left side. âCome here, Tup.âÂ
He rushes over to the bedside and crawls over Kix to get to your side. You open your free arm and let him rest his head on your chest. You can feel a little shake in his body so you rub his back and place your head atop his. âShhh. Itâs alright,â you soothe. âIâve got you. Your brothers are right here with you.â You feel the force settle around him and his breathing becomes soft.
âI wish I had a mother,â Tup admits into your chest.
You're surprised by the statement, but itâs not a completely unfounded thought. The clones are test-tube babies. Copies from an original source, with no mothers to speak of. Perhaps that is why they feel safe with you. Perhaps, because you are a woman, they feel a certain level of maternal attachment to you. Thatâs why they feel safe. Thatâs why they want to sleep here with you. Thatâs why they relax in your presence and melt under your touch. They just want a mother.
âWhatâs it like having a mother?â Tup asks out of curiosity.
âI donât really remember mine to be honest,â you answer. âI was taken from her at a young age to be trained as a Jedi.â
âOh,â Tup answers sadly.
âBut,â you continue. âI do remember that she was warm and kind. She had a good heart and would sing me lullabies to go to sleep.â
âLullabies?â Tup wonders at the strange word.
âYes,â you explain in a hushed tone. âMothers sing them to their children to help them go to sleep.â
âWould you sing us a lullaby?â Tup asks as he nuzzles further into you.Â
Youâre shocked at the question. No one has ever asked you to sing, let alone sing a lullaby. âWell, I donât know...â you hesitate.
You feel Echo tug gently at your hem and whispers. âPlease?âÂ
There were several more âpleasesâ and âmhmsâ coming from the lumps on your bed. You look around at the seven sleepy clones and wonder how you got yourself into this predicament. But, their innocence captures your heart and you feel a tender fondness for their simple request. How hard could it be to sing them a lullaby? You close your eyes and think back to when you were still with your mother and try to remember the words and the tune she sang to you.
Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay
And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go
May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
You finish the lullaby as tears form in the corner of your eyes. The words of the song unlocked the sweet memories of your mother from so long ago. She was a strong and loving woman, and even though you donât remember her face, you could feel her embrace you through the force as the lyrics of her soothing lullaby escaped your lips. Such a soft and simple song, but so full of love, care, and comfort.
You look around lovingly at the clones sleeping softly in your bed and smile. Your heart is full. Theyâre all sleeping peacefully, probably for the first time in a long while. But your happy thoughts are pierced with poison as you remember why they exist. The bloody war. The war that no one asked for. The war they lay their lives down for. Not all of them may come back, but for now, yes, for now they are safe here with you.Â
You look up as you sense the final presence you knew would show up eventually. âCaptain,â you whisper, trying not to wake the clones. Rex came into the bedroom while you were singing the lullaby and leaned against the wall while he waited for you to finish.Â
âI was wondering where my men went,â Rex chuckles while looking at his sleeping soldiers spread out across your bed.
âThey needed a little mothering tonight,â you say as you leave a gentle kiss on Echoâs head.Â
Rex smiles. âI can see that.â
âWill you join them?â you ask. âThereâs room for one more.â
Without much convincing, Rex pushes himself off the wall and crawls onto the foot of the bed. He lays sideways at the edge, positioning himself to guard over his men. Rex is a great leader and a great Captain. He cares deeply for each of his men and puts their safety above his own. Itâs just like him to take the most vulnerable and uncomfortable position so his men can relax and feel covered under his dutiful watch. You smile fondly at their brotherly bond.Â
You let out a small sigh and lean over to the left to leave a small kiss on Tupâs head. You would kiss them all goodnight, but the rest are too far out of your reach. âCodladh sĂĄmh, my little ones,â You whisper while leaning your head back against the pillow to finally let yourself fall asleep. âDream of a life far away from this one.â

{How Kix Falls Asleep & What That Says About Him}
Program: Just how he falls asleep when he's deployed and when he has the luxury of being at home in your arms. Where feels safe and loved.
Pairing: Kix x GN! Reader
Genre: Fluff
Camp Resolute Masterlist
Camper Tags: @staygoldwriting
Kix gets very quiet when he begins to feel the weight of fatigue settle over him
To the point where his brothers are extremely careful not be too loud as the medic gets ready for bed
One time Hardcase slapped Kix's shoulder at the end of a successful mercy mission when Kix was beginning to feel dizzy and teeter into bed, and Kix shot him a look that froze his brother to the core in fear
Frequently has body aches and headaches when he pulls himself to bed
He's the type to not really feel tired or need that much sleep until it hits him all at once, and it typically happens after a delicate procedure he had to do on a patient, if all the battles have caught up to him, or if he loses a life trying to save them
Kix keeps a little stash of feel good snacks and items to help him take care of himself as the last rays of daylight fade away
He throws himself into his work to the point where he often catches himself realizing he hasn't had water in over a day or his brother's note how distracted he seems because he hasn't eaten that day
So he has a small basket tucked on the corner of his cot with electrolyte drinks, cough drops, sweet cookies, heat & ice packs, and a book that you annotated for him
Builds a pillow and blanket mound to ease his body onto, but he curls onto his side to drift of to sleep on better days
Kix absolutely adores when the two of you can spend the night together, because he knows he drop everything and melt into your care and love
Always just a few steps away from you, because he just feels so drawn to your calming energy regardless of if you're laughing hysterically from sharing stories or cooking dinner together to music on the background
He tucks you into him when you slip into bed, and he holds you close as the big spoon
Presses his face into the back of your neck and lightly thumps his head a couple of times to give you lil keldabe kisses
His soft mumbles tickle your skin
Quiet whispers breathe across the shell of your ear
Chuckles harmonizes between your chests as the city buzzes past the closed curtains
Your breathing slows down as the night sky deepens
After particularly draining and difficult missions, he may ask for a small message or if you could rub an achy muscle
He needs you to push away the weight of war that has made its home in his body and soul
Kix always makes sure both of you have water and any medications already prepped on the night tables
He doesn't want you forget to take care of yourself as you care for him
Loves to pepper your body with lazy kisses
He'll even stop to speak a loving affirmation or compliment into your skin as he looks at you with the most devoted expression
-> As Kix takes care of everyone, he looks for relief once the sun sets. -> He finds himself becoming absorbed by his work or by missions, and even the lingering guilt of loss. -> When the two of you unite, everything disappears as he's able to be in the moment with you. -> When Kix is ready to give up and give into the overwhelming numbness of battle, he remembers how free he feels by your side.

First of all, youâre amazing and your stories are amazing 𼺠Can I please ask for a Rex x female reader fic?
For the 4th of July here in the USA, my family always does a big cookout of some kind! This year, Iâm making a few traditional family favorite dishes for the first time. Iâm a little nervous because Iâve never been in charge of 3 dishes and dessert before, but as Iâm cooking today, Iâm wondering how the 501st guys would react to someone (the Captainâs girlfriend đ¤) inviting them over to eat for a celebration and cooking a whole lot of good food for them. (Iâm making pasta salad, potato salad, and cheeseburgers, with red/white/blue marble cake!)
Hello and thank you. I'm doing my best. I don't know what the Star Wars equivalents are of those foods, but I'm sure the boys would all love to eat up anything you make them. I hope this is something along the lines of what you were looking for.
Rex was the only clone who had been to your home. You had introduced each other to different traditions. Your traditions were more domestic than Rex's but you loved learning about his brothers and the traditions the clones had made for themselves. You were the one who suggested inviting a bunch of the 501st over to eat and celebrate the upcoming holiday. The boys had never done anything quite like that, but were very excited to learn more about you and meet your friends as well.
When Jesse, Hardcase, Fives, Echo, Kix, Tup, and Dogma all arrived at the door, they looked at each other, each one unsure who should knock.
"Jesse, just knock," Fives said.
"Why do I have to do it," Jesse shot back.
"You're the one directly in front of the door," Tup replied.
"Oh nevermind I'll do it," Hardcase said with a grin as he pushed Jesse aside and knocked.
Rex opened the door and welcomed the boys through the house and out the back. A large table was set up for everyone to eat with you setting out multiple dishes to be passed. Their jaws all dropped. It was so much food and it smelled good. Not like the bland stuff they served in the mess hall.
"Boys," Rex said, "here she is." He introduced you to each of his brothers.
"You made all this for us," Kix asked.
"Yes," you said with a smile. "It's a day to celebrate with friends and family so we wanted you here."
You introduced them to some of your friends and everyone sat down. Food was passed around and Dogma and Echo were a particular help when it came to making sure the dishes were available to everyone and didn't mysteriously all end up near Jesse. The boys could not get over how much food there was and how good it tasted. They weren't eating simply to consume calories to be affective soldiers. They were eating for enjoyment and socializing. It was relaxed and fun.
Rex and the boys all helped clean up afterward too. Rex insisted if you went to all that trouble, it was the least they could do. He kissed you and thanked you for the food while you hung out with your friends. The boys all piled into the kitchen, Rex directing where leftovers should go, and Tup and Kix washing the dishes, with the others helping to wipe down the table and put the clean dishes away.
The rest of the evening included dessert and games for those who wanted to play. Hardcase and Fives got particularly competitive, but in the end Echo wiped the floor with them.
Your friends also enjoyed meeting the boys and getting to know them. They were dynamic and fun. Each had a sense of humor, even Dogma, who had loosened up in the new environment and had struck your friend's fancy. You all decided to try to get together like this more often.

Hardcase x fem!reader, Jesse, Fives, Kix, Captain Rex, Commander Cody, and Anakin Skywalker
Word Count: ~2k
Warnings:Â none
A/N: The readerâs job at the Temple is similar to an airfield operator. So basically the person in charge of moving ships around the hangar so itâs not mayhem.
Hardcase bounced his leg in time with the ringing of his com, glancing up when Jesse laughed across the room. Torrentâs barracks were mostly empty aside from Jesse and Tup, giving him a tiny bit of privacy. The call finally connected and Hardcase straightened, smiling like an idiot when your flickering outline came into view.Â
     âHey! Sorry, I was putting a few things away and didnât hear my com,â you rushed out but the apology fell on deaf ears. Somehow, your beauty still stunned him every time without fail.Â
     âThatâs okay,â he managed to force out, his eyes dancing around your features. Heâd never get sick of seeing your smiling face. âI have a bit of downtime and wanted to see your pretty face.â
     âIs that so?â you chuckled, arching a brow.
     ââCourse, cyarâika, you brighten my day,â Hardcase cooed. It came out a bit teasing but he meant it with every fiber of his being. Your eyes narrowed, skepticism written all over your face.
     âI swear âCase, if you did some crazy shit again and broke another bone -â
     âI didnât!â he cried immediately, waving off Jesse when he glanced over.
     âThen what did you do?â you pressed.
     âNothing! Why do you always think I did something?â As soon as it was out of his mouth he flinched; he did have a habit of getting himself into trouble.Â
     âHm, I wonder,â you deadpanned.
     âIâve been on my best behavior,â Hardcase swore with a hand over his heart. Your suspicion didnât wane but you nodded, relaxing back in your chair. âSo, what did you do today?â
     âOh, well thatâs why it took me so long to answer,â you replied, leaning down to dig through something out of sight. âI went to get dinner and go shopping with mum.â
     âGet anything interesting?â he asked, crawling farther into his bunk to get comfortable.
     âMm, not really. Just one thing I wanted to show you,â you replied, still searching. âAh!â You grinned as you held up the sweater, draping it over your upper body. He couldnât tell what color it was through the hologram but the snowflakes were easy to notice.Â
     âA Life Day sweater?â
     âI thought it was cute,â you laughed, turning it around to look at it. âAnd, itâs blue and white for my favorite boys.â Hardcase smiled, huffing out a quiet laugh. He did love seeing you in 501st blue and you were well aware.Â
     âSend me a picture later,â he proposed. It was honestly meant as an innocent request but warmth started to pool in his stomach when a flirty little smile lifted the corner of your mouth.
     âGettinâ lonely, pretty boy?â you purred, tilting your head.
     âThat was not what I meant,â Hardcase insisted, glancing away, âbut I wonât look a gift orbak in the mouth.â Your laughter was light and warm, a sound heâd found himself missing after being surrounded by only droids and his brothers.Â
     âI guess itâll be a surprise then,â you chuckled, folding your arms and resting your chin on them.Â
     âFine by me, cyare,â Hardcase sighed happily, studying your blue-tinted features.Â
     âNow tell me how youâve been, honey.â
It took Fives and Jesse jumping into his bunk to pull him away from you but it was getting late on Coruscant and he didnât want to keep you up. Hardcase let his brothers drag him out of the barracks to do who knows what; he hoped it revolved around getting something to eat. Fives and Jesse were on his left side, having a loud conversation that Hardcase hadnât been paying attention to when his datapad pinged. He dropped back a step when your com frequency blinked back at him; he was not going to share the picture he was expecting with his brothers.Â
Hardcase could tell there were two images in the message, the first one was an innocent picture of you in your new sweater and he let out a quiet sigh of relief. He jumped when an arm settled around his shoulder, catching a glimpse of Fivesâ face out of the corner of his eye. Hardcase had never been more thankful that he hadnât scrolled down.
     âI swear, she gets prettier every time I see her,â Fives purred, jostling him. Hardcase shoved him away, exiting the message before Fives got nosy; his brother laughed, shooting him a shit-eating grin. Jesse arched a brow from the mess hall door, falling in step with his brothers as they made their way to their regular table where Kix and Rex were sitting already.Â
     âHey, boys,â Rex greeted, barely glancing up from his datapad. The three newly arrived troopers greeted him with a chorused âcaptainâ as they crowded around the table. âI guess I can give you the new orders while youâre here.â
     âNew orders?â Jesse wondered, resting his arms on the table.
     âWeâre returning to Coruscant. General Skywalker has some kind of senate business to handle so we get a few days of shore leave,â Rex said, finally setting his datapad down. Hardcase tried not to look excited, but Rex's faint head shake meant heâd failed to contain his smile. Could his captain really blame him for being excited to see you?
His brothers continued to talk back and forth but Hardcaseâs thoughts were already drifting down another road. And the pictures you sent him gave him an idea.Â
The Jedi temple hangar was buzzing with activity. Jedi and clones hurried around as you tried to rearrange the ships that were docked to make room for incoming ships amidst the chaos. You got a thumbs-up from Manny, the clone currently moving a Jedi starfighter as he retracted the landing gears. The ping from your datapad drew your attention and you glanced around to make sure no one was watching before opening the message from Hardcase. Apparently, he had a lot of time to waste since he had been sending you messages most of the day.
Did you get a chance to wear your new sweater yet?
The message had you raising a brow but you quickly typed back that you hadnât had the chance yet but that you planned on wearing it to the Life Day party at the Temple later. Working for the Jedi wasnât something you had ever imagined youâd be doing but you enjoyed it. They included any of the non-Force users in the few celebrations they had every year and it didnât feel like you or any of your co-workers were lesser. You felt appreciated.
Your datapad pinged again but you were forced to ignore it when air traffic called in that there was a badly damaged shuttle coming in. Hardcase would have to wait.Â
One of the downsides to Coruscant was the weather-controlled climate. It didnât snow often so walking into the Jedi templeâs courtyard felt a little odd. Life Day decorations covered every visible spot and soft music filled the space but the bright sunlight felt a little out of place. Jedi knights, padawans, temple workers, and clones milled around the courtyard mingling and it almost felt normal. Even though the infantry clones were still in full armor because the war didnât care about the holidays, the air felt lighter, happier than you remembered. Although, you couldnât ignore the wave of longing that washed over you. Hardcase hadnât mentioned shore leave which meant there was no chance heâd be on-world and you tried not to let the thought bring your mood down.Â
However, catching a glimpse of Commander Cody didnât help.
     âCommander,â you greeted when he looked up. You knew most of the clone commanding officers to some degree, being that they were the ones that usually accompanied their generals to the temple.Â
     âHey,â Cody hummed with a half-smile. âThey let you out of the hangar for once.â
     âI do have a life you know,â you huffed, shaking your head.
     âOh I know,â Cody snorted, hiding it behind his drink, âRex tells me about it.â
     âI wish I could say I was surprised butâŚwell, have you met Hardcase?â Cody laughed quietly and it felt good to see the usually rigid commander loosen up a bit. Something akin to amusement danced in his eyes when he suddenly glanced down.
     âNice sweater. Wonder who thatâs for?â
     âMust be a coincidence,â you deadpanned, earning another pearl of laughter from Cody. You were just about to move on to the group of your coworkers you could see a few feet away when Codyâs eyes flickered over your head. His expression fell in shock before he squeezed his eyes shut, shaking his head.
     âHeâs an idiot,â Cody mumbled, meeting your gaze again.Â
     âWhat -?â You twisted around to find what he was talking about, your own disbelief cutting the question short. General Skywalker was the first person you recognized but Rexâs iconic blonde hair was hard to miss. Your heart stuttered in your chest, eyes immediately searching the small group of soldiers making their way into the courtyard. They were almost directly in front of you by the time you managed to get your pounding heart under control.Â
General Skywalkerâs knowing smile made your face feel too warm.
     âYou look surprised to see us,â he noted, crossing his arms.
     âI - I didnât know the 501st was back,â you managed to spit out, using every ounce of willpower not to look for the one person you were desperate to see.
     âNow that I think about it, Iâm not surprised,â Skywalker laughed, glancing at the captain standing beside him. Rex looked exhausted and you had a sinking feeling it had something to do with a certain brother.Â
     âHeâs your problem for a few days,â Rex grumbled before making a beeline toward where Cody was still standing. Skywalker chuckled again as he patted your shoulder and moved around you. And thatâs when you saw him.Â
     âOh dear,â you breathed. Hardcase was bouncing impatiently a few feet away as he talked with Jesse. The urge to sprint to him was barely curbed by the staggering shock freezing you in place. Your eyes trailed down from his face, darting around the familiar white shapes painted on his completely blue breastplate. You didnât need to look down at your own outfit to know it would match.Â
Hardcase glanced toward you and his entire face lit up with a smile, apparently ignoring the stunned expression on your face that Jesse was laughing at. He quickly closed the few feet to stand before you, oozing pride.Â
     âYou alive, cyarâika?â he teased, drawing your eyes up to meet his.
     âWe match,â you blurted needlessly, blinking a few times. Hardcaseâs smile was nearly blinding as he rested a hand on his chest and you finally move a bit closer, still leaving an acceptable distance while you were still in public.Â
     âSo you like it?â he asked, his voice pitching up in uncertainty. You reached forward to rest your hand on his, smiling up at him; tears collected in your eyes at the rush of reliefshockhappiness knotting in your chest.Â
     âI love it, Hardcase,â you assured, your stomach swooping when he ducked his head. âAnd I love you.â Hardcaseâs eyes flickered around the crowd standing a fair distance behind you and ducked down to steal a quick kiss.
     âI love you too,â he whispered. You felt ready to burst, overwhelmed with a dizzy kind of joy that came with knowing Hardcase was home and you dropped your eyes back to his breastplate. It took a second for the question to form in your mind before you found his eyes again, your brows furrowed.
     âWhy didnât you just see about buying a matching sweater?â you wondered. Hardcaseâs face fell as he thought about your suggestion only to turn his face away with a bashful smile. âYou didnât think of it, did you?â
     âI didnât think of it,â he agreed. And Maker, you never wanted to kiss him more.Â
     âWell, I like this better anyway,â you laughed, squeezing his hand that you were still holding. Hardcase tilted his head down to study the design heâd obviously worked hard on with a proud grin.Â
Rex would probably make him scrub it off later, regulations and all, but you could savor the thoughtful gesture while you had the chance. At least holopics lasted forever.Â

Change of Fate: Prologue.
Note: This is the first fan fic I've ever written, so be gentle with me! Hahađ
â¤ď¸đ No warnings for this. This is just a prologue to see if anyone at all is even interested in this. Even if I continue, I don't see this having any serious warnings. We'll see though, who knows!
It is a slow burn for sure, but eventually, it'll be a full-fledged Wolffe x Female Reader fic. We have to work through the angst and drama to get to the fluffđ
đ Anyways, I hope you enjoy, and let me know if I should continue!â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
Life can be unfair and cruel, but it can also be joyful and full of love. As a Jedi general, you were well aware of the art of balance. One area you did struggle however, was the âno attachmentâ aspect of your Jedi culture. The thought of hiding or suppressing your emotions and feelings for others always baffled you. You were taught that attachments would lead to the Dark Side; however, you feel as if you would be lost and more vulnerable to the Dark SIde without your attachments. The relationships youâve built with your fellow Jedi reminded you what you were born and trained to do. However, more importantly were the relationships you built with your men of the 104th Battalion. Better known as the Wolfpack, this battalion was led by none other than Commander Wolffe himself. Like Master Plo Koon, you loved all of your men. From the shinies straight off Kamino, to the war-tested veterans such as SInker and Boost, you would die for them. However, there was one grumpy commander that did manage to steal a little more of your heart than the others. You kept your feelings for Wolffe to yourself, knowing that it was unlikely he would feel the same. It was only a life altering turn of events that made you see that there might be more to your relationship than you initially thought.Â
Because the 104th had Master Plo, you were asked to temporarily step in as the acting general of the 501st when Anakin was sent on a mission by the Chancellor Palpatine himself. Though odd, no one thought twice about why the Chancellor would have a private mission for Anakin. You were excited to work with the boys in blue again! It was rare for the 104th and 501st to work together on deployments; but it had happened, and you remember it being entertaining to say the least. Wolffe complained about the behavior of a few of his brothers in the 501st more than once. You couldn't help but giggle at the memory.Â
You walked over to the 501st barracks and were welcomed by a very excited Hardcase. Not far behind him was Rex, Fives, Echo, Jesse, and Kix. After being given the most joyfully bone crushing hug from Hardcase, the rest of the men stopped in front of you. They all saluted with the most cheeky smiles on their faces, clearly entertained by their brother's antics. Rex of course was the first to refocus and greet you in his trademark professionalism. You thanked the Captain, and you all moved to prepare for the next deployment. Ringo VindaâŚthe hell hole that started you, the 501st, and the 104th down the road to changing the fate of the galaxy.Â

âPour me a glass, baby.â
(Gif not mine :))
Part two with Fives! Sequel to âcold hands and a hot drink
Reader is gender-neutral but an implied fem reader
First meet with Fives!
Character(s): Fives, reader, Echo, mentions of Anakin, unnamed roomate
Genre: Crack, fluff, this is a pretty normal fic
Overview: After the encounter with the small barista (you), Echo couldnât seem to keep his mouth shut about you. Of course, a certain twin of his starts to get curious, and what was is better to finally meet you than a frat party where youâre serving alcohol?
Warning(s): Fratboy! Fives, Poor, shy baby Echo!, Tubetwin Fives and Echo, Language (in both Mandoâa and Basic), sexual innuendos, suggestive themes, alcohol, grinding, itâs a frat party, reader is called âmeshâlaâ
950 words (?)
âââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
ââoh- and you shouldâve seen the way they stood up for me, Fives- it was just- wow, I- I never seen anything so attractive-â
Yes, he knew. His dear vod Echo couldnât seem to shut up about it ever since the encounter happened. Which, I mean- good for him, but Fives could not continue hearing his brother blabber on about this mysterious barista without Fives knowing them!
âUgh, yes, you have told me about your very attractive barista that youâve had your eye on for a while and stuck up for you- whatâs their name again-?â Fives asked, rolling his eyes before huffing out a sigh and sinking further onto his bunk.
Echo merely gave a cricked smile to his twin before answering. âName.â He murmured, and Fives shivered a little, never seeing his brother act like this before.
And frankly? He didnât know whether to be proud, cringe, or curious. All three. Yeah. All three were good.
âName...â Fives repeated, testing the foreign name on his tongue before shrugging.
âWell. Have you kriffed her yet-?â
âShut the kriff up.â
â-yeah yeah, whatever.â He said with a small chuckle, pulling his phone out and scrolling through it lazily. Most likely going through his own posts and checking himself out.
Before receiving a text from Anakin, who said he was hosting another frat party and wanted Fives to be there.
Of course he did!
Fives was the life of the party, of course. He smirked, immediately accepting the invite and looking through its details.
âAy, Echo- thereâs another frat party tonight. Ya wanna come this time?â He asked, looking up from his phone to look at his pale brother. Echo grimaced, his nose scrunching up a little as the corner of his mouth pulled down slightly.
âI dunno, Fives. Frat parties ainât really my thing-â
âOoh! Theyâre gonna be serving drinks there!â He cut Echo off, before snickering and nudging him with his elbow. âMaybe your pretty barista might be there- you should come.â He teased. Echo side-eyed him, frowning a little, before huffing. âDonât play like that, Fives. We donât know that-â
â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â
Honestly, you had no idea why you agreed to this.
You were a barista, not some alcohol bunny.
But here you were, at this stupid party with stupid sick LEDâs, loud, thumping music, many people grinding and flirting and making out or going to another dorm to do⌠other things.
You sighed, resting your cheek on your palm, watching the party lazily.
Anakin had practically begged the you to come out and make drinks for his party.
âPlease? Youâd be doing me- everyone, a huge favor! Iâll pay you anything, just come, dude-â
âWho knows. Maybe youâll get laid. Sâgonna be fuckinâ sick, so please come.â
Wow. Yeah. What a very convincing argument coming from the popular frat boy of the college, yeah? You didnât know if it was demanding or whiny. Both, maybe.
But, anywho, you, of course you did, agreed just because Anakin looked like a kicked puppy and he wouldnât shut up.
So there you were now. Handing out drinks, pills, cleaning up, yeah.
âHey! Meshâla! Câmere for a sec, yeah?â You perked up as a certain goateed man beckoned you over with a curl of a finger, giving you a smirk.
âYeah?â You responded, raising a brow. âYâsee that man over there?â He gestured over to a rather familiar pale male lurking in the corner- oh! âEcho-!â You beamed, before nodding at the other male.
Fives grinned at you. Ah. So he was right. That was the same person that Echo had been nonstop babbling about. âYep. thatâs him. Yâknow him?â You smiled and nodded. âYeah! Heâs a regular at my cafe.â You explained. He laughed a little, extending a hand, which you shook.
âNameâs Fives. Name, right?â You nodded, before gasping. âOh! Yeah! Youâre Echoâs twin,â you said, nodding. He laughed a little, running a hand through his hair. âYeah⌠thatâs me.â He purred, eyes smoldering.
Ew. You paused for a second, fingers twitching as you cringed a little before clearing your throat. âYeah! Well- sânice to meet you-â you then waved at Echo, grinning at him, making the male approach them shyly.
âHey, name.â He greeted shyly, making you smile fondly at him. âHey, Echo. Didnât expect to see you here.â You commented, making Echo laugh. âSame goes for you.â He shrugged.
Fives just rolled his eyes at being ignored, before shrugging. âMy roommate knows you. She mentions you, sometimes.â You then spoke up to Fives, pouring Echo a glass of water, before grabbing vodka and filling another personâs cup. Fives immediately smirked at that. âOh yeah?â He asked, you nodding at him. Of course your roommate knew him. Thatâs the one he fucked the other night, right? Yeah, well, at least you heard of his skills.
He laughed a little, observing you and Echo, before leaning his cup towards you. You were a good person, he could tell. Maybe a bit of a goody-two-shoes. You didnât throw herself at him either. He couldnât help but find that frustrating but entertaining. He did enjoy seeing you interact with his brother, though.
âPour me a glass, baby.â

Shifting Loyalties NSFW
Word Count: 7.7k Pairings: The Bad Batch x fem!reader, Tech girlies you get an extra treat. Warnings: I'm not gonna lie y'all, this is smut with almost no plot. I can't list it all. I have no excuses, it's all the batch at once so that should give you an idea of what you're walking into. But no clonecest here. Barely proofread. Summary: The Bad Batch and you are supporting the 501st on a mission, where you are reunited with your old squad. The Batch get a bit jealous and Jesse fans the flame. NSFW
Fives is alive for this because, who doesnât need more Fives and who doesnât want to scream at canon sometimes.
-
âItâs obnoxious is what it is.â Crosshair spat, biting down hard enough on his toothpick to snap it in two.
The source of his irritation was the scene unfolding amongst the men of the 501st. During another last-minute mission as General Skywalker's backup, you and Echo had settled in with your former squad before it was time to turn in for the night. Gathered in a loose circle were Echo, Rex, Jesse, Fives, Kix, and you, catching up while the Batch observed from a distance.
Perched on a crate, with Fives at your side leaning on an elbow and talking your ear off, you crossed your ankles and swayed your feet lightly, clearly enjoying the conversation. When Fives' hand casually landed on your thigh, emphasizing his point, Wrecker couldn't suppress a low groan.
"What's so special about those guys, anyway?" Wrecker grumbled, tossing a hand in your direction as a loud laugh escaped you. "I bet it's not even that funny!"
Paying as little attention to the situation as possible, Tech interjected, "There's nothing 'special' about them. Itâs simply a shared history." He glanced up to see Fives stand a bit taller, gesturing animatedly as he dominated the conversation. Fives leaned closer to you, his hands gripping your knees for balance.
Logically, there was nothing wrong with their behavior. As Tech understood it, such comradery was not uncommon amongst the regs. Yet seeing you at the center of it set his teeth on edge.
Kix and Jesse had picked up on the Batchâs attitude the moment you stepped off the Marauder. Rex warmed up to the 99âs but the rest of the 501st maintained their distance. That distance solidified into distaste when you left the 501st to join the Batch.
As Rex and Echo broke away on their own, Jesse sidled up to your side, opposite of Fives, with Kix at his side. While Fives pulled every laugh out of you he could, Kix noticed the scowl Tech was leveling him and subtly nudged Jesse.
âLooks like weâve got an audience.â Kix muttered.
Jesse glanced briefly towards the four Batch members who were watching intently. "Oh, really?" Jesse scoffed, his gaze sweeping over the group before returning to you with a renewed, cocky smile. âWell, then letâs give them something to look at.â
Hopping up next to you, Jesse leaned into your space to position behind your back and hovering over your waist. âSay, Shorty?â He finally interrupted Fivesâ ramblings, getting the ARC trooper to push off of you.
âOh!â You laughed. âBack to âShortyâ are we?â
Fives crossed his arms and grinned, âWell, seeing as how you are shorter than us - youâll always be a shorty to us.â He nodded towards his brothers at your side. You rolled your eyes, but the small smile tugging at you betrayed your enjoyment
Catching this, Jesse and Fives shared a knowing look, Fives briefly glancing at Jesse's hand still poised near your side. Fives then uncrossed his arms and nodded subtly.
âAs I was sayingâŚâ Jesse continued, his tone teasing. âYou ever get over that little twitch of yours?â
A confused look passed over you. With a small shake of your head you asked, âWhat âtwitch?ââ
Without warning, Jesseâs hand snapped to your side, his fingers wiggling into your ribs, eliciting a yelp as you jumped into him. In a desperate attempt to escape his tickling, you shimmied forward, laughing through the discomfort. The sudden movement toppled you off the crate, straight into Fivesâ waiting arms. Without missing a beat, he caught you with one arm cradling your ass and the other holding you by your waist.
Jesse and Kix chuckled as you shoved against Fives, your feigned anger fooling no one. Kix leaned over to Jesse, musing, "Oh, they didn't like that one bit."
âLooks like someone should go lend them some comfort.â Jesse said sarcastically, sauntering off towards the four troopers.
From their side, the Batch watched on in disgust as you sat in Fivesâ arms losing yourself in laughter. He hoisted you over his shoulder, bouncing you a couple of times for show, before setting you back on your feet.
"Show off," Hunter muttered under his breath, rolling his eyes as he turned from the spectacle. He gestured to his brothers with a brisk nod. "C'mon lads, letâs head inside." Despite the order, Tech, Wrecker, and Crosshair remained firmly in place as Jesse approached, his presence igniting further irritation.
A guttural growl rumbled from Crosshair as Jesse closed in, his tone playful yet provocative. "You're not heading out so soon, are you, fellas?" He jerked a thumb back in your direction, his grin sharp. "Youâre missing all the fun over here."
âOh goody.â Crosshair angled a mean smile at him, placing a toothpick between his lips. âTell me, are all regs as dull as you?â
Maintaining his composure, Jesse leaned in slightly, his confidence unshaken. âWith her smiling like that, I canât say Iâm too worried about being dull. We always kept her smiling. In fact, most nights with us ended with her being happy.â He casually rested a hand on his hip, his smirk widening. âGuess you fellas are only good with clankers.â
Tech, standing next to Crosshair, frowned deeply, his eyes flicking between the men of the 501st and you. His voice was sharp, clinical. âWhat exactly are you insinuating?â
Before Jesse could reply, Wrecker pushed forward, his massive frame towering as he stepped between his brothers. His voice was deep and menacing, each word dripping with threat., âYeah, what are you in-sin-ua-ting?â
Jesse stepped closer, meeting the challenge and smirking up at the large clone. âIâm saying, we mustâve been doing something you aren't.â His gaze briefly flickering over to where you were mingling with others, finally realizing where Jesse had strayed off to. While he could, Jesse snuck in one more jab. âGuess Echo didnât tell you everything. We were more than a squad to her.â
The implication ripped a growl from Crosshair, but before he could escalate the situation, your warm voice broke the tension. âYou wouldnât be causing trouble now, would you, Jesse?â
Jesse turned toward you with a feigned innocence, his chuckle light. âOf course not,â he replied smoothly. âJust catching them up on the old days.â As he clapped a hand on your shoulder and gave it a playful shake, he threw in, âSpeaking of which, why donât you bunk with us tonight, Shorty? Itâll be just like old times.â
His use of your nickname in front of your squad heated your face. From the noise Crosshair made, you were going to have trouble living that down.
With a laugh, you rolled his hand off your shoulder, your tone light but firm. âOh, I donât think so. I actually need to get some sleep.â You poked a finger into Jesseâs chest plate playfully yet pointedly. âWhich Iâm sure wouldnât happen with your lot around.â
Wrecker's eyebrows flew up as he shot a look at Hunter, who wore a similarly stunned expression. They were just beginning to catch glimpses of your unfiltered self, and while they had suspected the men of the 501st were trying to rile them up, they never dreamt of the level of intimacy you just admitted to.
Seeing you banter so comfortably with the regs, with laughter and playful jabs, left the Batch glowering. For the first time in their lives, they were truly jealous of these regs. They were getting used to being the closest to you, the ones you leaned on during missions, and this unexpected side of youâcloser with regs than themâstruck a chord.
âLetâs go, lads.â Hunter ordered with a firmness that turned your head. You knew your squad was on edge with the regs, but Hunter sounded almost angry. He left without another word and his brothers trailed behind shortly after. Crosshair was the last to leave, flicking his toothpick past Jesse, barely missing his face.
Watching them retreat to the makeshift barracks adjacent to the 501stâs, you turned to Jesse, your expression one of exasperation. "What did you do?" you demanded.
Jesse put his hands up innocently, saying, âNot my fault your squad doesnât like to share.â
Share? Weighing the worth of further questioning him against checking in with the Batch, you grumbled in frustration and pointed a warning finger at your former squadmate, âYouâre just as bad.â Not allowing him to get under your skin as well you made for your barracks.Â
You walked in on the Batch quietly conversing, standing around Wrecker as he sat on a bottom bunk. Out of the lot, Tech and Wrecker turned slightly to see you walking in their direction. You gave a little wave as you neared. The conversation fell silent the nearer you got, widening your nervous smile. They are not happy, you inwardly groaned
Attempting to break the tension you said in a light tone, âCanât believe weâre actually sleeping in the barracks.â Pulling up to the corner of Wreckerâs bunk, you leaned against the post, arms crossed. âEcho will be pleasantly surprised.â
Crosshair snorted, âIt fits. Heâs full of surprises.â His odd response, again, pinched your brows.
Widening your eyes and raising your brows in the awkward moment, you flared your fingers out around your arms. âWell, Iâll just pick a bunk.â
You pushed off the bunk only for Wrecker to catch you by the elbow and tug you into his lap, teetering on his thigh, with a hand at the small of your back.
You twisted in your spot to smile at Wrecker, who was looking unexpectedly bashful. âWhatâs all this?â They boys had only recently started toeing past physical boundaries, this was a bit of a jump for them. Further trying to dissipate the tension, you rocked into Wrecker with your hip. âScared of sleeping alone suddenly?â
Wrecker swallowed hard, his eyes darting briefly to his brothers as if seeking support or reassurance.
Maintaining a polite, albeit confused, smile you followed his line of sight.. While Tech kept his nose in his datapad, Crosshair stepped up next to Hunter, prompting the Sergeant to step forward and take a knee in front of you.
Hunter's gaze was heavy as he took a deep breath, then slowly lifted his eyes to meet yours. The intensity there caused you to catch and hold your breath, something going taut between you.
"We've been thinking," Hunter began, his voice cautious, as if testing the waters. His hand gently came to rest over your knee, his touch causing you to straighten instinctively, pressing you further into Wreckerâs lap. Until then, you had almost forgotten your position with Wrecker, but his large hand then settled more firmly around your waist.
The dual sensation of their touches sent a shiver through you, a subtle tremble that Wrecker evidently felt too, eliciting a soft, strained noise from him.
âThereâs something weâd like to do for you.â Hunter smiled, his hand sliding north of your knee.
You went stock still, eyes blown wide as Hunter leaned in. You shot a look at Crosshair to find him twirling a toothpick between his fingers with a satisfied smile. Next to him, Tech caught your eyes. Where Hunterâs eyes had stilled you, Techâs thrilled you. You were happy to be seated with Wrecker, because having Techâs full attention made you feel weak.
âWhatâs that?â You asked, voice just above a whisper, as you broke away from Tech to find Hunter still watching you. You heart jumped into your throat when Hunterâs thumb smoothed over your inner thigh.
âHave you ever thought about-â Hunter paused, clearing his throat to cover up his hesitation. Slowly and calmly he started again, âHave you ever thought about spending the night with us?â
âI already-â
âThink a little harder.â Crosshair cut you off with an amused tune. Your eyes snapped to Crosshair and, somehow, the arrogance in his stance filled you in on Hunterâs meaning. Heat flared through you, flushing your face so quickly you knew even your ears were red.Â
On more than one occasion youâd found release lost in the fantasy of being the center of their attention. Every time you witnessed them sans armor you had to manually breathe through professionalism.
Again you looked to Hunter, pulling your bottom lip between your teeth with a slow nod. Hunter dipped his head, hiding the way his smile widened. Barely lifting his head, he chuffed and followed up with, âWould you like to spend tonight with us?âÂ
You were able to swallow the whine in your throat enough to nod another affirmative. Hunter opened his mouth but was interrupted by Tech.
âThat will not suffice.â Both you and Hunter looked to Tech for clarification. Tech adjusted his goggles but shook his head. âIf this is something you want, you will need to agree to what we are asking verbally.â Your legs squeezed together at Techâs stern tone.
You felt Hunterâs gaze shift back to you, but you eyes were trained on Tech. A smile, wobbly and excited, fluttered over your lips. âYes,â Heat pooled between your legs, you squirmed in Wreckerâs lap, and you said. âI want to spend the night the night with you guys.â
Wreckerâs other hand found your side, firming his grip to hold you in place. He laughed through his nerves, âWatch it with that.â
Suddenly, you became very aware of where you were seated in his lap. Pushed back over his knee, just an inch or so from his crotch. If you twisted even the slightest youâd pressed him. With intent, you carefully turned into him to offer a smile. As Wrecker groaned against the pressure of your leg you offered a half-assed apology.Â
Wrecker took one look at you and crashed his lips into yours. A moment of shock hit you before your started moving against him, melting into the feel of his tongue against yours. When Wrecker leaned you back and deepened the kiss, a little needy noise escaped youÂ
It was enough for Crosshair to kick Wreckerâs foot. âEase up.â Crosshair. Wrecker did indeed ease up, breaking the kiss and leaving you dazed and panting in his eyes.
âSorry,â He chuckled, lifting a thumb to wipe your lips dry. âGot a lil excited there.â
All you could manage was a hum as he righted you in his lap. Hunter tilted his head back, his smile turning into a challe, âYou sure wanna do this?â
You answered by sliding from Wreckerâs knee onto his, slipping your arms around his neck, and stopping just as your lips hovered over his. Lightly squeezing his thigh between yours, you said on a breath. âIâll only say it once more. I want this.â Grinding onto him, you added. âBadly.â
Catching his lips in a slow kiss, you moved with his hands as they found your hips and pressed you harder onto his knee. With every brush of your clit against him, an ache, hot and desperate, grew in your core. The sound of shuffling armor only reached you as Hunter tapped your thigh, easing you back into reality. âLetâs get you out of those clothes.â
Eager to continue as quickly as possible, you bounced off of Hunterâs knee to make quick work of your attire. By the time you were down to your underthings they were all down to their blacks in some way. Techâs was still zipped up, Crosshair and Hunter had theirs stripped to the waist, and Wrecker was stepping out of his.Â
Just the sight of them fully dressed was enough to fluster you, finally seeing them bare made you feel downright feral.Â
Wrecker stepped over to you, his already erect cock swaying with him. Your mouth went dry at his size, though it was fitting for a man of his stature. He tilted his head with a grin and gestured for the bunk behind you.
As you sat, you came face to face with his massive member before he dropped to a knee. The idea of taking him first, after not having anyone for a long time, thrilled you as much as it intimidated you. A warm body pressed against your back as a pair of long legs, still dressed in black, appeared on either side of you.
Wrecker hooked his fingers into your panties and pulled them off as Tech, in a low tone, said into your ear, âHeâs going to warm you up.âÂ
The chill his voice sent through you hit at the same time Wreckerâs tongue slid over you. Arching into Tech, you whined as Wrecker picked up a steady pace of long flat licks that ended with covering your clit with his mouth.Â
Tech wormed a hand between your bodies to discard your bra and give him access to your chest. Gloved hands cupped around your breasts, gently tracing the shape of them before rolling your nipples between his fingers.
Your entire body tensed as Tech played with your nipples. From between your legs, Wrecker chuckled as he slid his middle finger into you, âOh, she likes that.â The ache Hunter had ignited grew as Wrecker kissed and sucked on your clit while working his finger into you.
âIs it true that you enjoy this?â Tech asked, applying more pressure as you writhed against him.
âYes,â You barely managed to pant as you quickly reached your peak. âI do, I do, I-â
As you tightened around Wreckerâs finger, he suddenly broke away from you, leaving you empty and at the painful edge of release. âNot yet.â Wrecker left a kiss on your inner thigh as you grabbed to pull him back, only stopped by Tech holding you against him.
âNot yet.â Tech repeated sternly, again stilling you with his voice in your ear.
Wrecker stood as Tech slid out from behind you. Wrecker took his place, positioning you on top of his lap to spread your knees with his. Taking his finger, still wet with you, he traced your slit all the way to your ass. You were starting to tense at the sensation when Wrecker cooed as he slid his finger into you. âDonât worry, I gotcha.â
Spread wide as Wrecker fingered you, Hunter could see how badly you ached to be filled. With each stroke of Wreckerâs finger, you visibly clenched. Hunter finally released the length of him when you pressed a hand over your mouth to restrain a moan.
Crosshair stepped in to pull your hand away, letting the tail end of your noises loose. âThey could hear.â You whined louder than you wanted.
Crosshair held your face in his hand, angling you to face him. With a hand braced on the top bunk, Crosshair leaned down to your eye level. Sucking on a tooth, he smirked as his eyes roamed your writhing form. Meeting your gaze again he gave you a gentle shake as he practically purred, âThen letâs give them something to listen to.â
Heâd distracted you enough that Hunterâs sliding into between your legs startled you. Crosshair released your face when Hunterâs cock made contact with you. You leaned forward for a glimpse of him. His swollen head slid over you until he brushed up passed your clit. Precum leaked from him and slid down to mix with your own wetness. Hunter traced you a few times before he tipped your chin up.Â
Lined up with you, Hunter asked, âReady?â Wrecker buried his finger in you as they both waited for your answer.
âHunter, please.â You quickly whined, bracing your hand on his shoulders, truly desperate to be filled with him.
Hunter leaned in and rolled his hips into you, slowly breaching you until he was completely inside. âYou feel,â Huntered groaned, âSo good.â As he started pulling out, Wrecker timed his fingers with him.Â
Standing within reach of you, Crosshair pulled himself free of his blacks as he watched on. Your attention only pulled away from where you and Hunter were joined when you caught sight of Crosshair stroking himself.
Your noises grew in volume as the Hunter and Wrecker filled you over and over. Only a few strokes in and your toes were already curlling. Feeling your sudden grip, Hunter fully sheathed himself in you as Wrecker left you empty.
âYou good?â Hunter asked in a strained voice as he throbbed within you.
You nodded, a blissful smile flashing over you. âReally good.âÂ
Beneath you, Wrecker squirmed to reposition himself, even raising you out of his way as he did. You heard Wrecker spit but couldnât tell what on. Hunter pulled you against him for support as Wrecker pressed up against your ass and slid over its entrance. You tried to whip around but Hunter held you firm.Â
Pressing a kiss into your neck, Hunter mumbled, âTell us to stop and we will.â
While Wrecker waited, throbbing against you, Hunter lightly rocked his hips, moving just enough to rub into your cervix. You watched Crosshairâs head angle to get a view of your ass, then your heaving chest, before settling back on your eyes. He continued stroking himself, smirk growing as a needy expression flooded you.Â
You swallowed hard when precum spilled out of Crosshairâs cock. âKeep going.â You moaned, granting Wrecker the permission to pull you down onto him. Your body went taught when the flare of his glans pushed past your threshold. Inhaling, you whined and waited for more of Wrecker.
You only waited a second longer before you were grinding yourself over him, not only taking more of Wrecker but grinding farther onto Hunter. âThatâs a good girl.â Wrecker sighed happily as he leaned back on one hand and supported your ass as you moved over him.Â
The two of them had you completely filled, stretching you in a way that made you see stars. You knew youâd never be the same after feeling this. Hunter angled your hips enough that each thrust pushed into your G-spot. Each of their thrusts had you whimpering louder as you felt the ache in your core tighten.
Giving your ass cheek a firm grasp, Wreckerâs head fall back in ecstacy. It took everything in him to not move faster and push harder into you. He wanted to feel you make you come completely undone around him, break apart for him even, but he sat back and let you pleasure yourself on him.
Eyes still on Crosshair, you extended an open hand to him, urging him closer. The sniper snorted but obliged you, giving you full access to his body. Resting back on Wrecker, you let Hunter take over the rhythm as you pulled Crosshair closer.Â
Swiping a thumb over Crosshairâs slit, his precum spilled over you. Crosshair ran a hand over your hair and around to your jawline. âOf course thatâs not enough for you,â Crosshair mused. His cock, thick in your hand, had a small patch of silver hair at its base you brushed as you pumped your hand over him.
Each deliberate move of your hand challenged Crosshairâs composure. He clenched his jaw to hide the pleasure he felt. His resolve cracked as his eyes fluttered and he leaned in to your grasp.
The rare sight of Crosshairâs softened features made you whimper and writhe in Hunterâs hold. Your tightening grip rushed Hunter to his limit. He rested his forehead in the crook of your neck. âMeshâla, keep doing that and I wonât last much longer.âÂ
Allowing himself a few shallow thrusts, Wrecker groaned, âIâm right there too.â Heâd barely gotten the words out when Wrecker groaned loudly, pumping hard into you as he throbbed and lost control.
Hunter picked up his pace until he quickly pulled out and, a second later, coated you in cum. His hips kept rocking against you, rubbing over your clit and fueling the ache in your core. âRight there, right there.â You encouraged him as he kept moving over you until completely emptied himself.Â
With Wrecker still throbbing inside you, paired with the sudden pressure on your clit, your orgasm hit you hard. It wracked your body until your legs quivered. Fucked into an euphoric state, you leaned towards Crosshair, still aching for pleasure. Youâd never dreamt this would be a reality and you were quickly becoming greedy.Â
âEasy now,â Wrecker murmured and, as gently as he could, eased out of you. Without him and Hunter, you felt emptier than ever before.Â
Hunter scooted back enough to sit back on his knees, panting and pushing his hair back out of his face. He watched as Wrecker pressed a kiss to your shoulder and helped you crawl over his legs to face Crosshair.
Prying your mouth open with a thumb, Crosshair hummed down to you, âIf you want a taste, you better do it quickly.â A chill ran down your spine as Crosshair pulled you by your mouth, guiding you to the tip of his cock.Â
You stuck your tongue out to swirl around his head. He hissed as you eagerly took him into your mouth, bobbing over him and swiping your tongue side to side as you did. As promised, Crosshair only allowed you a small taste of him before pulling you off him.
He knelt to your eye level, crouching on the balls of his feet, to ask, âDo you want more?âÂ
Your brows pulled together and a lazy smile lifted your lips. âI want you, Crosshair.â
Crosshair stilled for a moment, something striking a chord in him. His eyes quickly scanned yours before he caught your lips in a fast, hurried kiss. He broke the kiss just enough to murmur against your lips, âOn your knees.â
The sniper helped you to your feet and got you onto the neighboring bunk. He guided you onto your hands and knees, facing his brothers. There was no teasing nor dragging out the moment. No, Crosshair immediately lined himself up with you, leaned over to cage you in his arms, and whispered, âIâve wanted to do this for a long time.âÂ
In one smooth thrust, Crosshair buried himself inside of you, immediately taking up a steady pace as he fucked you into the bunk. Crosshair draped himself over you, sneaking a hand around you and right to the apex of your thighs.Â
âIncoming.â Tech chimed from across the room.Â
Crosshair held you in place as the barracks door swooshed open and Echo walked in. A drop of panic hit your stomach when Echoâs sweeping look found you. Confused, horror overtook the cyborg and as he hurried over.
Nearly stumbling over Hunter, still regaining his composure on the floor, Echo ripped around to you. âCrosshair, what do you think you are doing?!â
Crosshair pushed off of you, straightening to posture over you and face Echo. Using your hips as leverage, Crosshair slowed his pace and confidently answered, âWhatever what she wants.â
Echoâs expression went stunned as he knelt in front of you. Slightly dazed, flushed, and cum covered, you tucked your face into the mattress in a rush of embarrassment. Still, you whined each time Crosshairâs hips hit yours.Â
Echo reached a concerned hand out, encouraging you to lift yourself again. His eyes searched yours, but you were too far gone to do anything but reach for the man in front of you. You ran your hand as far down Echoâs torso as you could and turned to press a kiss into his palm. âEcho.â His name came out on a moan that brought heat to his cheeks.Â
âLooks like there is something else she wants.â Crosshair chuckled behind you. He leaned back over you, bringing his mouth to your ear but holding Echoâs stare. âWhy donât you tell Echo what you want?â
You could barely think through Crosshairâs relentless thrusting and the rhythm of his fingers. âEcho.â His eyes slid to you to catch you kissing his hand again. âI want to taste you.â Licking the length of his hand, you wrapped your mouth around his forefinger.
Echo had been growing hard from the moment he saw your bare skin until the softness of your mouth got him instantly hard. Glancing between you, Echo kept an eye on the hand still reaching for him and slowly brought his hips to meet your touch.
As you pried off his codpiece with one hand, Echo assisted in pulling himself out of his underlayer.Â
You pulled Echo by his thigh so that he overshadowed your face. Starting at his base, where his balls met his shaft, you flattened your tongue and ran it up the length of him. Reaching his tip, you steadied him with your hand.Â
Echo mumbled under a grunt as you moved your mouth over him, âOh, stars.âÂ
The taste of Echo narrowed your focus on him, seeking to hear his pleasure. When Crosshair heard your own muffled moans, felt them with his chest against your back, he lifted off you. He traced a finger down your spine, feeling you arch into his touch as he went.
Echo was still adjusting to the reality heâd walked into when you started working your hand in tandom with your mouth. His hand flew to your head, his fingers threading into your hair. He couldnât help himself as he kept his hand firm and met your rhythm with his own. You slackened into him as he pushed against the back of your throat.
The way you twitched around Crosshair, pulled a moan from him. Sensing your little struggle as you tried to take more of Echo, Crosshair again reached for your clit. âRelax.â He whispered as his hand made lazy circles around you.
Sliding off of Echo you swallowed and looked up to find him watching you with wide eyes and mouth slightly open. You didnât look away as you opened wider and took him into your mouth. With a deep breath you relaxed as best you could and pushed him to the back of your throat. Moaning around him you pressed on until you felt him squeeze down your throat.
A moan, breathless and low, finally escaped Echo and he held you fast against him. The sounds youâd worked so hard for twisted that familiar ache in your core. Your eyes watered against the pressure as his cock twitched in your throat. You tasted him spilling inside you as he came undone.Â
Crosshair grunted, shuddering as you clenched down on him. Unwilling to finish before you did, Crosshair focused his touch on your clit into light, fast strokes.
You tapped Echo repeatedly until he pulled his softening cock out of you. Gasping for air your fell onto your elbows, head hanging over the side of the bunk. Face down, ass up you sounded on the verge of tears as you warbled, âCross, I canât. Iâm gonna-â
His thrusts become long, slow, and angled right into the soft spot inside you. âGo on then.â Crosshair urged you on. âWe all want to hear you.â
The low tone of his voice finished you. Your eyes rolled back and you cried out as you lost yourself in Crosshairâs hold. He continued pushing you through your release as long as he could until Crosshair had to pull out. Gripping your hips tight, he thrust one final time against you and sent ropes of his cum down your back. In the throws of his own pleasure, his groans matched yours in volume.
It took a few moments for your both to settle back into the present. Your legs were so weak that you were at Crosshairâs mercy to keep you upright. He felt you relax and sag into his him, prompting him to gently lay you to rest on your side. He brushed your hair out of your face, letting you look up at him without moving your head.
He watched you pant a second longer, swallowed and asked, âYou okay?â
A little smile came to you. You coughed out an affirmative hum, and warmly croaked, âMore than okay.â
Echo came around to your side, looking over you with concern. âWhat can we do?â
âRelax.â Hunter, already half dressed, came behind Echo and gestured casually towards another area. âTechâs on it.â His gaze softened as he smiled down at you over Echoâs shoulder. âYou really are something.â
His praise sent a wave of warmth through you, though you could only muster a pleasant hum in response, your energy still recovering.
âTechâs gonna help you get cleaned up. That okay with you?â Hunter waved someone, presumably Tech, over.Â
Taking a deep breath, you raised onto your elbow. Tech was indeed inbound carrying some supplies and still full dressed. Suddenly you felt as bare as you were. You couldnât look away, but gave Hunter the nod he and Crosshair needed to step away.
âCâmon boys, letâs give her some privacy.â
Echo looked you over once more, nodded and followed his brothers lead.
Soon it was just you and Tech in the quiet. For most of what happened, youâd lost track of Tech. Who had, by the looks of it, had steered completely clear of the scene.
Tech settled down next to you, placing a stack of necessities beside your headâclothes, towels, all topped with a bowl of water. You pushed yourself up to a sitting position with one hand, inspecting the items he had brought. âThank you,â you mumbled shyly, the simple kindness in his preparation bringing some softness you very much needed.
âSit up.â Tech instructed as he brought the water closer. You followed his order, positioning yourself with your back slightly turned. Looking over your shoulder, you watched Tech dip a small towl in the water before bringing it to your shoulder.
The towel was cool against your flushed skin. Jumping you said through a chill, âThatâs cold, Tech.â
âYou do not want warm water for this.â Tech said matter-of-factly. âHeat will denature the proteins in the se-â
âOh! I didnât know that.â You said quickly, cutting him off while also doing terrible job at covering your embarassment.
Tech rotated between wiping your back and ringing out the towel. When silence again fell over you, Tech asked softly. âAre you in any pain?â
You thought for a moment, doing a mental sweep of your body, and replied, âNo, Iâm okay.â You squeezed your eyes shut hearing yourself stuttering your words.
Tech immediately questioned you again, âAre you having regrets?â
You flinched to turn around, but kept your back to him. âNo.â You replied softly. It went quiet again as Tech did a final swipe of your back.
âNow turn around.â Tech swapped out the towel for a fresh one as you slowly turned to face him.Â
Again, Tech dampened the cloth and brought it to your skin, the cool touch hitching your breath. As his hands carefully wiped your skin, he observed your slow, controlled breathing. His eyes darted to yours.Â
âYou are uncharacteristically silent.â Tech noted bluntly with no follow up theory as to why.
Shoving your nerves to a manageable level, you blurted out, âWhy didnât you join?â
Techâs hand stilled, but he kept your gaze for a beat. Moving to dampen the towel, he followed it with his eyes. He shrugged, saying, âNot really my thing.â
Your stomach dropped at his simple dismissal. Under your breath you said, âOh.âÂ
You kept watching Tech as he brought the towel back to your chest. When it came time to wipe your breast, Tech found your gaze again. He flattened his hand under the cloth and ran his whole hand over your breast, his thumb catching on your nipple.
A brazen surg hit you and you pushed, âSo, Iâm not really your thing?â
Tech pulled back slightly with his hand wiping you. Raising a brow he asked cautiously, âMy thing?â
Despite slightly regretting your line of questioning, your fingers fidgeted together as you clarified, âAs in, youâre not interested in being with me.â
His wariness faded as he focused back on his work, again rinsing the towel. âThat⌠is not entirely accurate.â He lowered the towel down between your breasts to your stomach. He wore a cocky smile as he said, âBesides, something such as after care requires a more delicate touch.â
You caught his hand before he made it to your navel. âThen what would be entirely accurate?â
Tech looked up through his goggles, his lip pulling to the side as he weighed what to say next. He wanted to make sure he was indeed being entirely accurate as he confessed, âIâm not interested in being with you in the company of others.â
His insinuation caught you off guard. Sitting a little more upright, your angled your head for a better view of those brown eyes. âSo⌠you do want me?â
Techâs head sagged slightly as he deadpanned. âWell, of course I do.â In your surprise, you released Techâs hand and allowed him to finish wiping you down.
Steeling yourself against the warmth following his touch, you prodded further, âWhat if it was just you and I?â
Missing the subtlety behind you question, Tech simply replied, âThat would be different for me.â
âItâs just you and I now, Tech,â You reminded him, voice barely above a whisper.
He was mid rinse when he heard you. The thought caused him to pause only for a moment before he wrung the towel out and turned back to you. Tech didnât move to touch you. Instead, he muttered, âI did consider that, but I was not certain such an arrangment would interest you.â
Unable to let the chance pass, you grabbed Techâs wrist again and flat out admitting, âIt very much interests me.â
His attention fell to your hold on him for a moment. Gently he pulled out of your hand, moving the cool towel between your legs. Leaning closer as the fabric met your skin, Tech asked, âDoes it interest you right now?â
âWell, of course it does.â You repeated his words in an impression of him. He hadnât anticipated the sudden playfulness in your voice, but it brought a small smile to Tech.
Carefully, he wiped you clean, noting the movement in your face as he found every sensitive bit. When he was satisifed with his work, Tech set all the items he brought on the floor. He sat in front of you, one leg over the side of the bunk, and adjusted his goggles as he took in the full view of you. âYou are beautiful," He marveled.
You got to your knees and scooted closer. With bated breath you asked what you've wanted to for weeks, âCan I kiss you?â
Tech blinked once, then twice before responding, âGiven the circumstances, that wouldnât be unwarranted.â There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice that forced a smile from you.
Your reaction pulled a mirrored smile from Tech that had crawling into his lap. With no restraint, you moved in to kiss him. Pecking him with feverish kisses, Tech quickly relaxed into your rhythm to deepen the sensation. It seemed he'd been waiting just as long as you.
His hands slid around to your back and tugged you against him. You held Techâs face in your hands and ran your tongue across his bottom lip. It took little coaxing for Tech to give you access to his mouth, eagerly meeting your tongue with his.
You sat intertwined, blissfully lost in the taste of each other and comfortable in each otherâs hold. Tech hardened beneath you and the angle your were sat on Tech had your crotch directly against his. The realization hit you both at the same time as started moving against one another.
The friction of his blacks made the pressure between your legs that much more mind numbing. Moaning into your kiss, you retreated a fraction with Tech chasing your lips. âGet out of this.â You managed to say.
Tech straightened himself while keeping you in his lap and his mouth on yours. Without breaking away from you, he peeled out of his blacks. Only when he couldnât budge them farther did Tech pull away. You both were desperate for air, but more desperate for each other.
Dodging Techâs hands, you helped him the rest of the way out of the clothing and hurried back into his lap. Tech leaned back against the bed post when you were saddled on top of him. With Techâs assistance you raised yourself over him. The natural curve of his cock allowed you to line up with him without your hands.Â
You tried to lower yourself, but Techâs hand on your ass held you in place. âMay I record this?â
Without question you nodded. After he tapped the side of his goggles, he returned your nod and released his hold on you.Â
As soon as he eased up you sunk onto him. The sudden fullness of him immediately brightening your smile. Tech firmed his grip on your back, pulling you and your clit against his abdomen. âIâd like you to start slow.â
You gave in to his request, supporting yourself on his shoulders as you patiently rolled your hips. He had you pressed against him in a way that constantly stimulated you, sending more warmth between your legs. When he felt what it did to you, heard his name on your tongue, he started moving beneath you, saying almost in warning, âIâm going to move faster.â
Tech was stronger than you'd imagined, effortlessly sliding you over him and thrusting into you from below. The pace at which you moved against each other, completely intertwined, quickly sent you into delirium. He pressed against you in every way, against the walls of your pussy and the ache in your clit. By the grip you had on Tech, there was no hiding your rising ecstasy.
âThat-â Tech grunted out, leaning you further so you were completely against him. âMust feel good.â His tone was confident, arrogant even and it made you want to fuck him until he couldnât speak.
Still, your new position gave Tech the leverage he needed to find your G-spot. As he grazed it, you cried out his name, encouraging him to maintain that specific angle. âTech! Keep going right there, please.â Your encouragement ended in pleading.
Doing exactly as you asked, Tech held you in place and drilled into you. Keeping a careful, steady rhythm that in moments took you right to the edge of an orgasm and shoved you right over.
You couldnât speak as you shook in Techâs arms. Every inch of you quaked as a softer wave of heat spread through you. Lolling against Tech, he held you close and he rocked you both forward.
Still seated inside you, Tech rested you onto your back with your legs hooked behind him. Turning your cheek with a kiss, Tech exposed your neck. He pumped into you while he trailed kisses to your ear.
âThis is the only way Iâll have you.â Tech purred into your ear. You locked your ankles and pulled Tech deeper inside you. Tech noticably throbbed and chuckled softly, âThat is not going to help me last.â
You used your legs as leverage to move over him, humming, âGood, I donât want you to.â
Tech pulled back to flash you smirk. âIn that caseâŚâ He rested a elbow by your head, held you by your waist and pulled out to thrust back into you. âIâm already close. You need to tell me where you want me.â
Feeling him deep inside you made it an easy decision. You pressed him with another kiss as you said, âInside.â
Tech rocked hard into you, thoroughly filling you as he came inside you. The two of you settled into each other, spent and panting through mutual trembling.Â
âWell,â Tech took a deep breath and pushed up over you. âLetâs get cleaned up.â
After all the heat died down and you were all in fresh clothes, you laid out on your cot with an arm over your eyes. In their respective cots, Crosshair and Echo lounged on the edge of sleep while Wrecker and Hunter and Tech were quietly chatting.
Before the night ended you had one last relentless question.
Popping up on an elbow, you looked towars the still awake men. âHunter?â You singled out the leader. Once you caught his eye you asked, âWhat caused all that?â The silence that fell pulled a suspicious smile from you.
With his back to you, Crosshair snorted, broadening your smile. You laughed and asked again, âWhat?âÂ
Wrecker groaned, rolling his head back. âIt was the regs.â
Echo immediately perked up, twisting to exchange a look with you. âWhat about them?â Echo asked warily.
Hunter sighed, âJesse told us about how they used toâŚâ He took a deep breath and rolled his hand as he continued, âMake you happy, letâs say.â
âAnd Echo knew.â Wrecker grumbled.
âWait-â You and Echo tried interjecting, but Tech cut in.
âNot to mention you said how you wouldnât get any sleep with them.â
When the dots connected for you, you covered your mouth, hung open, with a hand but couldnât back the laugh that bubbled out of you.Â
From his cot, Echo covered his face with a groan, âOh, no.â
Even Crosshair now sat up, exchanging confused looks with Tech, Wrecker, and Hunter.
Crosshair glanced at you and with an annoyed undertone he asked, âWhat?â He clearly did not like being on the outside of whatever you and Echo knew.
You shook your head and couldnât fully answer through your laughter. âI neverâŚâ
Echo waved his prosthetic in the direction of the wall shared with the 501st. âWe never did any of that. Jesse was just getting under your skin.â He groaned again, looking upwards and begging the Force for help. Gesturing in your direction he added, âAnd we wouldnât get any sleep because theyâd never stop yapping.â
You took deep breaths to settle down as Crosshair started chuckling.Â
âIn retrospect, that is the more plausible option.â Tech said, shocked Jesse got the better of him.Â
Collapsing on your bunk, you called out warmly, âFor the record, I am much happier as a part of this squad.â
Crosshair got the last word in, scoffing the last of his humor away, âBetter be.â

The Bet
Pairing: Kix x fem!Reader / Kix x Nurse!Reader
Words: 8,981
Tags/Warnings: 18+ only! coworkers to friends to lovers, some blood/wound care but it's very minor, fluff, smut, unprotected sex, fingering, dirty talk, oral (f receiving), a hint of a praise kink
Summary: You and Kix have been dancing around each other for months. When losing a bet finds you alone in your apartment together for the first time, sparks fly.
A/N: I honestly was not a Kix girlie before writing this, so hopefully he's not too ooc!
Previous Work | Next Work | Masterlist
âYou donât have to do this, you know.â
Kix watches you move about your small kitchen from his seat at the counter. The beer he nurses in his hand is still cool, the condensation softening the label enough for his thumb to peel, a nervous habit you notice but are too polite to mention.
You pause your stirring momentarily to throw him an exasperated look over your shoulder.Â
âI know.â
âIâm just saying you donât need to do all this for me,â he says, gesturing towards the stove where a large pot bubbles, a delicious scent wafting through the air. âPizza wouldâve been fine.â
âAnd miss the opportunity to show off my excellent cooking?â you ask with a scoff, though it lacks any real conviction.Â
You turn to face him. He looks so out of place in your tiny apartment, perched on the stool that is dwarfed by his size. His shoulders hunch as if he's trying to make himself seem smaller, a feat in itself for someone so large.Â
You try to give him a smile that's more encouraging than teasing. âNot a chance.â
He shakes his head, returning the grin with one of his own as he looks down at his hands. The smile falls away when he sees the state of the label he had been absently peeling. He grimaces and balls up the ruined paper before throwing it at the trash can, a small ping echoing through the apartment as it lands in the center of the bin.
The corner of your mouth twitches into a smirk, and you roll your eyes playfully. Kix chuckles softly, and some of the tension dissipates from the room.
It's nice to hear him laugh after the week you've both had. You'd been near dead on your feet by the time the Resolute docked on Coruscant, but you'd promised Kix a proper home-cooked meal, and you weren't about to renege on your deal. A bet was a bet, after all.
Bets between the two of you were far from an unusual occurrence. Normally, it was simple things: what they were serving in the mess for breakfast, how many hangover remedies you'd have to administer after shore leave, or even just something as silly as who could finish their work faster. It had become so common to the point that the 501st was more than used to seeing you and Kix going back and forth, betting on just about everything.
This time was no different. You'd been arguing over a patient's chart one morning, and it had escalated until the two of you had settled on a bet. Whoever could get the most patients through their physical would win.
The only thing was that, by the time the two of you finally had the opportunity to settle the score, Kix had gotten the entire company in on it, and had somehow managed to get Rex to take his side. You had been absolutely furious at the time, but you got over it quickly when he made his request.
He could have chosen anything. He could have made you stay late or fill out paperwork for a week. He could have had you do something embarrassing.
Instead, he asked you to cook him dinner.
You don't have a lot of time outside of work, so when you do, you cook. It's your favorite hobby and one you're actually pretty good at. You take great pride in it. Cooking for Kix though? That's different.
It's not that you don't want to do it. On the contrary, you're thrilled by the opportunity. It's just that you want it to be perfect.
The apartment is quiet save for the sound of your work. You have the radio playing, the volume turned low so the music is more background noise than anything. You don't mind. You've always liked the sound of rain, and it gives you the opportunity to listen for Kix.
You'd noticed over the course of your friendship that Kix is usually quiet when he's comfortable. It had taken a while, but you learned his different silences. It was the same way he analyzed you: by the cadence of your footsteps and the tone of your voice. You'd learned to read him through those subtle indicators, and he had done the same.
Right now, he's content. There's no tension in his shoulders, and his breathing is even. You know he's watching you, his eyes tracking your movements. He looks a lot more relaxed here than he does at work, which isn't surprising. You've seen each other nearly every day since the start of the war, but you've never been able to spend time together like this. You're friends, sure, but you're also attracted to him, and you'd like to think he feels the same.
You've been dancing around each other for months, but neither one is brave enough to say something about it.
You make small talk, talking about nothing and everything while you cook. It's pleasant and comfortable and nice. You can feel his eyes on you as you work. The kitchen is small enough that he can watch you easily without having to leave his seat. You know he's enjoying the show.
âSo, what are we having?â he asks.
You can hear the curiosity in his voice and grin.
When he'd made the request, he'd said he was up for anything, but you wanted it to be special. You have a plan, one that you hope he'll like.
You turn around, propping your elbows on the counter and leaning forward. He mirrors your position, and you're so close your noses almost touch.
His eyes widen in surprise, but he doesn't pull back. You tilt your head. âItâs a surprise.â
And a good one, you hoped. You werenât sure the last time you put this much effort into a single meal, but if you were going to impress him, you wanted to do it right.
You'd started the process early this morning and had been checking and rechecking your progress throughout the day. You're making a traditional Alderaanian dish, one of your favorites, and one you're pretty confident you can pull off. You're not a chef by any stretch of the imagination, but you know your way around a kitchen and have been told by those who love you that your cooking is exceptional.
You can only hope he'll agree.
Of course, this was a man who preferred to subsist entirely on ration bars and caf, who forgot to eat unless you forced him out of the medbay, but you still found yourself hoping to wow him with your familyâs recipes.
When Kix showed up at your door, you could tell that he was nervous. You were too, but you tried not to let it show. You were doing this because you liked him, not to get a reaction out of him, but the anticipation of his response was enough to make your heart flutter in your chest.
He looked more than a little disarmed at the sight of you in your civilian clothes, and the feeling was mutual. You didn't think you'd ever seen him out of armor. When you invited him inside, he pulled out a bouquet of daylilies from behind his back, sheepishly explaining that Jesse insisted he shouldnât show up empty-handed.
The bouquet heâd given you was beautiful. You didnât have a vase to put them in, so they were soaking in water in the largest coffee mug you could find with âGalaxyâs Best Nurseâ in gaudy red letters on the side. You hoped they wouldnât wilt before you could find something better to put them in. You honestly couldnât remember the last time anyone had bought you flowers.
Kix was sweet, sweeter than you ever anticipated from your first meeting. On your first day aboard the Resolute, when Captain Rex first introduced you as the resident nurse aboard the ship, Kix took one long look at you and promptly rolled his eyes.
âShe's not gonna last a week.â
Rex had looked ready to throttle him, but you merely gave him a wry grin and told him you were more than capable of doing your job.
He was quick to apologize, though you could tell he was more than a little skeptical, and the two of you had spent the better part of that first month trying to get on the other's good side. The first time he laughed at one of your jokes, it was like the floodgates opened. After that, it was easy, and the two of you quickly fell into an easy friendship.
You came to realize being blunt was just his way, though Kix was never as short with you as he was with his brothers. Jesse said it was because he had a soft spot for you, but you were more inclined to believe he just didnât want to create a hostile work environment.
That was months ago, and a lot has changed since.
You enjoyed Kix. His dry humor always caught you off guard, even if you were getting used to it. He seemed to enjoy making you laugh. And at the end of a long day, he was always the first to ask if you needed help cleaning up the medbay, always the first to offer to walk you back to your quarters.
You shared plenty of late nights together, sometimes going over patient files or stocking supplies. Other times you simply sat together in the quiet, enjoying each otherâs company.
You grew close. It was only natural.
Still, it didn't feel natural to invite him over for a home-cooked meal. You'd never been anything but professional with each other, even in private. You'd never seen him in civvies before and had certainly never imagined that his hair, longer now than youâve ever seen it, might curl a little in the humidity.
It wasn't fair, really, how much you enjoyed the sight of him.
You had spent the day wondering if this was the right decision. You worried you were reading too much into his request, that you were imagining the interest you thought you saw. But if nothing else, you hoped tonight would provide some insight.
You wanted this to go well.
You didnât know how much of that was for your sake or his.
You push back from the counter, and Kix makes no move to follow. You turn back to the stove and continue working, a grin pulling at your lips. You donât think he realizes that you can feel his gaze on you. He doesn't make any attempt to hide his staring.
The silence between you isnât uncomfortable, but there is an undercurrent of something else, a tension you're not sure what to do with. You know that you aren't the only one feeling this way. He'd been nervous when he first arrived, and though he was more at ease now, the tension hadn't dissipated.
It's not an unwelcome feeling. If anything, it's the opposite. You enjoy knowing he's watching you, that youâre having some kind of effect on him. You enjoy having him here, alone. It's a different sort of intimacy, a different kind of closeness. You wonder if it's a step in the right direction.
You're not sure what to expect from him, but whatever it is, you're ready for it.
âHow long until dinner is ready, doc? I'm starving over here." You don't have to turn to see him smile. You can hear it in his voice.
"Don't rush me," you scold, and he chuckles. "Dinner isn't ready until it's ready."
"I can't believe you're making me wait. It smells delicious."
"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself," you say, and you glance over your shoulder at him. "I was worried you wouldn't."
Kix raises his eyebrows. "Worried? About what?"
You turn away. "I don't know. I thought maybe you'd be disappointed."
"Why would I be disappointed?" he asks, sounding genuinely confused.
"I don't know." You shrug. "Maybe because we haven't really hung out before, and maybe you didn't want to, andââ
"No," he says, cutting you off. "I like spending time with you. I wanted to come."
You swallow, trying to keep your expression neutral despite the sudden tightness in your chest. "Oh."
"Besides, I've been meaning to ask for a while."
"Ask me what?" you ask, looking over at him.
He gives a half-shrug, the corner of his mouth twitching. "To have dinner with you."
Your face grows warm, and your stomach does a flip. You try to focus on the food, but it's difficult when all you can think about is the man behind you.
You hadn't realized just how much you wanted him to say that until he did.
"If it helps, I can promise that you won't regret it," you say, throwing a grin over your shoulder.
He leans his chin on his palm, grinning back. "I'm sure I won't."
You set a pot of water on the stove and turn on the burner.
"What're you doing?" he asks, sounding concerned.
"Boiling water."
"For what?"
"Kebroots."
He looks confused. "Aren't we having that stuff you're making now?"
"This is the sauce for the main dish," you say, gesturing with your spoon. It's easy to forget that he's never had a proper home-cooked meal in his life, and the thought of him getting to taste this one is more than a little thrilling. "The kebroots are going in the water."
"Why?"
"Because they need to boil."
He gives you a flat look, and you roll your eyes. "Do you want to know the answer to everything, or do you want to enjoy the surprise?"
"Fine," he says, sitting back. "But don't think you can keep me from learning your secrets."
You raise your eyebrows at him. "Is that so?"
He nods, grinning.
"Well, then," you say, smiling down at the pot. "I'll have to make sure you don't."
You're not usually one to play your cards so close to the vest. It's not like you to keep secrets, but there's something fun about the intrigue, something thrilling about keeping him in the dark.
"Can I at least have a hint?" he asks, resting his elbows on the counter.
You turn and prop yourself against the stove. "No. I already told you. It's a surprise."
"Come on, doc. You can't give me something?" he wheedles, his brown eyes sparkling with mirth. "Just a little something to tide me over."
"No."
"Please?"
"Nope."
"You're no fun."
"And yet, here you are,â you say with a teasing tilt of your head.
Kix grins, then sighs.
"Fine," he says and pushes back from the counter. "If that's the case, then I'm going to need more beer."
He disappears into the fridge. You don't turn, focusing instead on the task at hand. The sauce is nearly finished, but there are still a few steps left to complete.
You hear him move to your bookshelf, fingers lightly tapping along the spines of your books. You'd been surprised when he mentioned enjoying reading, since most clones you'd met didn't bother with it, preferring instead to watch holodramas or listen to the radio. But Kix liked books, which you were sure he kept to himself for fear of teasing from his brothers. You had a sneaking suspicion he was a romantic.
He stops to pull one out, running his fingers down the spine. "The Time Machine," he reads.
"It was one of my favorites as a kid," you explain. "I'm surprised it survived the trip here."
Kix puts it back in its place. "Have you ever read any of the Corellian Civil War holonovels?"
"No.â You shake your head. âI've never been a fan of war stories."
Kix snorts. "Me neither. There's only so many ways they can tell the same story."
"There's nothing like real-life experience," you say, and you immediately regret it.
"True," Kix agrees and doesn't press the matter. Youâre thankful, your heart in your throat, that you hadnât ruined the moment entirely, but you canât help but feel a little on edge.
The two had been working together for several months, and though it wasn't uncommon for clone troopers and nat-born people to befriend one another, there was still an underlying tension between you, one that neither of you had the guts to address.
He'd asked you for dinner because he liked you. You accepted because you liked him.
Neither was quite sure what to do next.
The tension between you had grown more pronounced, and though neither of you made any effort to stop it, the unresolved feelings were starting to affect your work. You were both professionals and did your best not to let it interfere, but it was still there, a constant reminder of what was unsaid, a potential opportunity squandered.
Still, if you were going to pursue a relationship with anyone, you were glad it was him.
You had a fondness for him, and it had grown into something deeper. It wasn't just his looks. Though he was definitely the most handsome trooper in the GAR, that was never a primary consideration for you. Youâve spent nearly every waking moment around men who looked almost exactly like him, after all. But it was the differences, the small nuances that made him stand out, that drew your eye.
With the water finally boiling, you turn back to chopping the kebroot. The vegetable is a bit tricky to handle, its tough outer skin resisting the knife's edge. You steady your hand, apply more pressure, and try again.
Youâre grateful Kix seems to be distracted by your books, allowing you to focus. If he saw you struggling, heâd probably try to offer help, and you want to do this on your own.
He was right earlier, when he said you didn't need to do all this for him.
You don't.
But you want to.
He's a good man, a hard worker, and you want to show him your appreciation. He deserves someone to take care of him for once.
When you think about it, the whole thing seems silly. You're grown adults, not hormonal teenagers. You can't believe you're making such a big deal out of something so simple.
But it is a big deal, and not just because he's the first man you've found attractive in a long time. It's the fact that you've been dancing around this for months, if not longer, and now you finally have an opportunity to explore the potential between you.
Youâve been trying your best not to picture him here, but with him in the apartment, it was difficult not to imagine. You worked together. You were friends. It was easy for you to forget that, and even easier to let your imagination run wild.
You can see him in the kitchen, helping you chop vegetables, or washing dishes at the sink. You can see him on the couch, his arm draped over the back, his legs spread wide, his head tilted back in a laugh. You can see him in bed, and that's where your mind wanders to the most.
You imagine how it might feel to kiss him, to touch him, to have him touch you. You wonder if he'll be gentle or if he'll be rough. You don't have a preference. You don't care as long as it's him. You want him to hold you. You want to feel him pressed against you, his chest against yours, his mouth against your neck, his hands running up your sides, slipping underneath your shirtâ
You hiss out a curse as the knife slips, nicking the fleshy part of your finger. Blood wells up, a stark contrast against the green of the ruica.
"You okay?" Kix asks.
"I'm fine," you answer quickly.
You reach blindly for the towel, wrapping the cloth around the cut, trying to apply pressure. The cut isnât deep, but it stings like hell.
"What happened?" he asks, appearing at your side.
"Nothing. I'm fine."
"Let me see," he says, and grabs the wrist of the hand holding the towel.
"It's not bad," you say and are about to pull away, but he doesnât let go. He guides you to the sink and holds your hand under the tepid water. His eyes flicker from the wound to your face and back again, brows furrowed in a way you know means heâs gone into medic mode.
âKix, Iâm fine,â you huff. You try to withdraw your wrist, but he holds fast.
"Stop moving. You're bleeding all over the counter."
âSorry,â you say. You can feel your cheeks burning. You should have been more careful.
His hands are warm. The pressure feels good. You can't remember the last time someone touched you like this. You want to pull away, to spare yourself the embarrassment of being this close to him, but he doesn't seem to mind. If anything, he seems determined.
âWhereâs your med kit?â he asks, eyes still fixed on your hand.
You tell him where to find it, and he firmly instructs you to keep your hand under the water before he breaks into a jog toward the bathroom.
âSit,â Kix commands when he returns, his tone no-nonsense.
You can't help but laugh.
He shoots you a glare as he opens the kit and begins removing the supplies. "I'm serious, doc. Sit."
He's so cute when he's bossy.
"Alright," you relent, pulling out a chair and sitting down. He grabs the chair across from you and drags it closer, positioning himself directly across from you.
"Gimme your hand," he orders, and you do as you're told, holding it out for him. He gently peels the towel back and sets it aside. You don't dare look. You're too embarrassed.
âSeriously, you donât have to,â you assure him, but he just shakes his head and dabs the blood away with a clean corner of the towel.
âShouldâve known youâd be a Code 5,â he says your code word for a difficult patient with a roll of his eyes. He's only half joking.
âItâs a cut, not a stab wound,â you reply indignantly.
Kix shakes his head and reaches for the alcohol wipe. He opens it with his teeth and begins cleaning the area around the wound.
"I know that," he says, his voice softer. âI just donât like seeing you hurt.â
He looks away to discard the wipe, and when he meets your gaze again, his eyes are filled with warmth and something else.
You donât know how to respond.
It's a look that speaks volumes.
His touch is gentle, his fingers brushing against your palm. It's not necessary, but he does it anyway.
âJust let me take care of you,â Kix says quietly, his gaze locked on yours. âPlease. For my sake.â
âAlright.â You nod, biting your lip once he turns away to grab a bandage. The intensity in his gaze surprises you. Itâs different than the look he wears when youâre in the midst of surgery, different from the easy smile he wears when youâre with the men. This is something new, something unexpected.
It feels personal.
He tears the backing off the bandage and presses it gently over the cut. You try to focus on his hands instead of his face. His fingers are rough and calloused, and you how they'd feel against your bare skin.
The thought makes your stomach flutter.
It's not a foreign feeling. You've thought about this before, more times than you care to admit, but this is the first time you've been so close. This is the first time you let him.
When he finishes, he presses a kiss to your bandaged finger. The action is quick, almost thoughtless, and it catches you off guard. Kix freezes. His lips linger for a moment too long, and his cheeks flush pink.
He pulls back. "Sorry," he mumbles, not meeting your eyes.
"It's okay," you say, smiling shyly.
You're touched by the gesture. It's sweet and considerate, and exactly the sort of thing he'd do. His cheeks are flushed. You can't tell if he's embarrassed or if it's the proximity.
Your hand folds back into your lap. You can still feel the warmth of his lips on your skin. You don't know why the kiss affects you so much. It's not the first time you've been kissed, and it certainly won't be the last, but something about his touch makes your pulse quicken.
"You're sweet," you say, trying to lighten the mood.
He grins, shaking his head. "Don't let that get around."
"My lips are sealed."
He glances down at your mouth, his grin fading. You feel a thrill rush through you, the hair on the back of your neck standing up. Your heart starts to beat faster.
"Good," he whispers, his voice low and husky.
You don't move.
You don't want to break the spell.
Kix's eyes search yours, looking for some sign of reciprocation. He's giving you a chance to tell him no, to push him away.
Instead, your hand comes up to cup his cheek. Your thumb brushes across his bottom lip. You feel the breath leave his lungs, feel him lean into your touch. His eyes are hooded, pupils blown wide.
"Kix?"
"Yeah?" he whispers.
"You should kiss me," you breathe.
Kix rises to his feet, leaning down so that his face is only inches from yours. You take in his features, his warm eyes, the way they're trained on your lips, the way he's watching your every move as if waiting for you to change your mind.
His thumb caresses your cheek, and he waits a breath more before leaning in to press his lips to yours.
You sigh into his touch, bringing your other hand up to grab the back of his head. The kiss is soft, unhurried, a slow slide of lips.
Your tongue slides across his bottom lip, and he groans, pulling you closer, deepening the kiss. His hands roam over your shoulders, down your back, over your hips, his fingertips brushing the exposed skin above your waistband.
You part, and you let your forehead rest against his, both of you catching your breath. Eventually, you pull back, swallowing nervously.
"I'm sorry," you say. "I don't know why I did that."
"I do," he replies.
You look up in surprise and find him watching you. His eyes are bright, and he's smiling, a real smile, not the forced one he sometimes uses around others.
"I've wanted to do that since the day we met," he admits, his cheeks reddening slightly. "And I'm not sorry it happened."
"Really?" you ask, trying not to sound too eager.
He nods, the hand on your cheek moving to play with the ends of your hair. "You're beautiful. And smart. And you take no shit, especially from me. Whatâs not to like?"
You laugh and lean in to kiss him again. He returns the kiss eagerly, his hand resting on your lower back to pull you closer.
"I wasn't going to say anything," he continues between kisses. "I didn't think you would want this."
"Well, I do." You grin. "Very much."
He groans and leans in to capture your lips again, but you stop him with a finger to his lips. He raises an eyebrow, waiting for you to continue.
"The food's burning."
Kix's eyes go wide, and he rounds the counter in a flash, quickly grabbing the pot off the burner and setting it aside.
"Shit," he curses, and you can't help but laugh at the panicked expression on his face.
"Relax. I'm kidding," you say, and you follow him to wrap your arms around waist. He relaxes into your touch, his hands coming up to rest on your hips.
âCan it be reheated?â he asks, his expression hopeful.
You quirk an eyebrow. âYeah.â
âGood.â
His hands slide up to cup either side of your face and pull you into another kiss, one you can feel all the way down to your toes. He presses you up against the counter, his body flush against yours.
You whine into his mouth at the feeling of his tongue against yours, your fingers gripping his hair to ground yourself. He tastes like beer and something else, something dark and earthy.
It's delicious, and you can't get enough.
His lips leave yours to trail across your cheek to your neck, peppering kisses along your jaw, his teeth scraping along your pulse.
"We should probably wait until after dinner to do this," you breathe, tilting your head to give him better access.
"I can't," he replies, his voice rough, his hands roaming across your body.
"Me either," you agree, and let him lift you onto the counter. Your legs wrap around his hips instinctively, your hands cupping his face as you bring him in for another kiss.
His hands are everywhere, his touch electric, and you want him to touch you everywhere, his hands and his lips, his mouth and his tongue.
Your hands slide underneath his shirt, pushing the material up until he has to withdraw to pull it off over his head. You take in the expanse of his bare torso, the way the muscles ripple under your touch, and your heart feels like it's about to beat out of your chest.
"You're gorgeous," you say, your hands coming to rest on his chest. You could feel the steady beat of his heart beneath your palm, his chest rising and falling with each breath.
"You are," he says. "And I've wanted this for so long."
He reaches behind you to remove your shirt, leaving you in your bra and pants. You feel exposed, vulnerable, and you want him to touch you, to make you feel good, to ease the ache that's been building inside you since the first time he smiled at you.
He dips his head to kiss you again, his hands sliding up to tangle in your hair. Your mouth opens to his, and he takes advantage, deepening the kiss and pushing his tongue against yours. He nips at your bottom lip, sucking it between his teeth, and you moan, pulling him closer.
His lips travel across your jaw, down your neck, along your collarbone. His hands find the clasp of your bra and make quick work of the latch, leaving you bare. You shiver, the cool air hitting your skin, goosebumps breaking out over your skin.
"Fuck, you're beautiful," he whispers, and he leans down to take one nipple into his mouth.
"Oh," you gasp, arching your back into him.
He sucks the sensitive bud between his lips, swirling his tongue around the peak, teasing you. He takes the other nipple between his thumb and forefinger, tugging and twisting, sending sparks of pleasure through you.
Your head falls back, and you moan his name, your fingers holding tight to his neck, your thighs squeezing his hips.
You can feel the heat of him against you, the hard ridge of his cock pressing against your center, and you grind down against him, desperate for friction.
His mouth leaves your breast, and he kisses you, his tongue tangling with yours, his hand coming up to cup your cheek. You drag him closer, your hands running over his back, exploring every inch of his warm, firm skin.
His lips trail across your cheek, and you gasp as he presses open-mouthed kisses down your neck. He pauses to suck a bruise into the sensitive skin where your neck meets your shoulder, his hands massaging your waist.
"What do you want, meshâla?" he murmurs, his mouth trailing along your collarbone.
"You," you reply, your voice breaking into a moan when he bites down gently on your shoulder, and you can't help but buck your hips.
You can feel him grin against your skin. "You have me."
"Bed," you manage, your hands gripping at his shoulders. "Now."
Kix chuckles, his hands sliding down to cup your ass. He pulls you flush against him, your arms wrapping around his neck as he lifts you off the counter. Your legs tighten around his waist and you bury your face in his neck to muffle your gasp as he walks you down the short hallway toward your bedroom.
Kix kisses you deeply as he lays you on the bed, hovering above you for a moment before he ducks down to press a kiss to your stomach.
His lips trail lower, dipping just above the waistband of your pants. Your breath hitches at the feeling of his mouth on you, the scratch of his stubble against the sensitive skin there. The idea of what heâll feel like between your thighs has you nodding before heâs even asked the question, his hands hovering on your waist.
Kixâs fingers hook into the waistband, slowly sliding your pants and underwear down your legs. You help him, lifting your hips so he can pull them off. Your panties stick to the slick dampening your center, and Kix lets out a barely concealed moan at the darkened patch there before tearing them away.Â
You expect him to discard them over your shoulder with your pants, but he shocks you by giving you a bashful smile and tucking them into his back pocket.
"Really?" you ask, trying to stifle your amusement.
"What?" He gives you a look that's almost innocent, if not for the fact that he's hovering above you, half-naked and fully aroused.
âNothing. I just didn't expect you to want to keep them."
"Do you mind?" he asks, his expression turning serious.
"Not at all," you say, and watch with rapt attention as his expression turns devious.
"Good. I plan to treasure these," he teases, and he presses a kiss to your bare knee. You shudder at the touch, at the implication behind his words.
"Now where were we?" he murmurs, his voice husky, his eyes dark as he lowers himself to his knees on the floor in front of you.
He grabs the back of your ankles and tugs, and you let out a squeak as you're pulled until your ass is nearly hanging off the edge. Itâs a precarious position thatâs immediately rectified by Kix arranging your legs so theyâre thrown over each of his shoulders, his face level with your exposed center.
The feeling of his breath against your cunt is almost too much to bear, your legs wanting to close instinctually, but he quickly stops you with a firm hand on either thigh.
âHold still, beautiful,â he commands softly, his eyes fixed on your wet, swollen folds.
âKixââ
Whatever you meant to say evaporates as soon he darts forward, tongue flattening to lick a stripe from your entrance to your clit. You nearly forget your own name when he parts your lips with one hand to give him better access, zeroing in on your clit without any direction from you.Â
His licks start out soft, then steadily increase in pressure until you're nearly grinding on his tongue. The scratch of his stubble against you feels as good as you imagined. He eats you out like heâs starving, with a passion you knew he possessed but never dared to dream heâd apply to you in this way.
He withdraws for a moment to take a deep breath, his eyes flicking up to yours, pupils blown wide. âMore?â
You nod frantically, though you arenât sure what you're agreeing to. Anything to keep his hands and mouth on you. âPlease.â
Kix dives back in, lapping up the juices leaking from you before returning back to your clit. Zaps of pleasure jolt up your spine and turn into a burning heat when you feel something nudge your entrance. His finger slips inside with ease, stroking your walls and the fire building inside of you, your eyelids fluttering shut.Â
He finds the spongey part deep inside you within seconds, hooking his finger upward to press firmly and drawing a gasp from you. With his target found, he adds another finger and begins to slowly curl them, pushing his hand in and out in a rhythm that has you seeing stars.
His lips close around your clit, suddenly sucking hard, and you gasp.
Your hips jolt off the bed, thighs closing involuntarily around his head, and he groans loudly. Your eyes open abruptly, worrying you've hurt him somehow.Â
Instead, you find his eyes closed, brow furrowed in pleasure, and the hand heâd been using to hold you open has retreated. From your vantage point, you can only see his arm moving, and you realize with a moan that heâs languidly palming his cock in time with the thrusting of his fingers.
As if he can sense you watching, Kix opens his eyes. Though his mouth doesnât let up in its assault on your clit, you can see the smile in his eyes as he stares back. His fingers speed up as he pulls back to speak, punching the air from your lungs and sending you falling back against the bed.
âCan you take three?â
âYe-es.â You hiccup at the feeling of a third thick finger slowly breaching you, stuffing you fuller than you've ever been able to manage on your own. The coil in your stomach tightens with each push and pull into your wet heat. Every thrust of his fingers sends you higher and higher, your entire body writhing with the force of it.
âLook at you," he groans. "So tight and wet. Taking my fingers so well, like you were made for me."
Your hands come up to fist the sheets at your sides, the coil in your belly winding tighter and tighter with each word, the way he moans between your legs, the way his eyes flutter closed in bliss as he fucks you with his hand. You can feel yourself approaching your peak, your walls clenching and fluttering around his fingers.
"Are you gonna come for me?"
"Yes." You gasp, your thighs starting to shake with the strain.
"Come on," he encourages, taking your clit between his lips and sucking, his tongue flicking rapidly against you. "Let go, beautiful."
Your eyes slam shut, and your orgasm slams into you with a force unlike anything you've felt before. It rips through your body, the heat coiled inside your exploding, your walls clamping down on his fingers as you writhe. You feel yourself nearly come out of your body, tingling pleasure coursing through you in waves.Â
Just as you're beginning to wonder if itâll ever stop, it begins to fade, leaving you panting and sweating as your body collapses against the bed.
âHoly shit,â you say breathlessly. Kix chuckles from the floor, and you push yourself up on your elbows to look at him after you regain control of your limbs. Heâs staring back at you, a dreamy smile on his face, the entire lower half dampened with your arousal.
âHow was that?â he asks.
âI think you know,â you laugh, breathless. âI thought I was about to suffocate you there for a second.â
âWorth it, trust me.â He sighs wistfully, his eyes a little unfocused. âI don't think I've ever seen anything so hot in my life."
"You're such a charmer," you tease, reaching down to run your fingers through his hair.
"Just telling the truth," he smiles, and presses a kiss to your inner thigh.
Kix helps you lower your trembling legs from his shoulders before glancing down at the hand that was just inside you. He lifts it up to his mouth, sucking his fingers and tasting your release with a thoughtful hum before he moves to stand.
âJust as I thought.â
âWhat?â
âI knew youâd taste incredible.â
He kisses you, tongue pushing its way inside your mouth to tangle with your own. You moan when you taste yourself on his tongue, chasing after him when he pulls away to push his pants off completely.Â
You want to keep kissing him, keep feeling his mouth against yours, but you're distracted by the sight of his cock springing free from his small black briefs as he slides them down his strong thighs.
Your mouth drops open in disbelief.
âYouâre kidding.â
Kixâs fingers, slick with his spit and the remnants of your release, circle the head of his cock. Itâs half-hard from his concentrated efforts on your cunt, but it quickly springs to life under his attention. Even not fully erect, itâs by far the most impressive cock you've ever seen. Thick, a sizable length, and now curving up toward his stomach, you canât look away.
Saliva begins to pool on your tongue at the thought of having him in your mouth, but before you can lean forward to act on your desires, heâs pushing you back on the bed.
âIf I knew all you clones were packing ââ
He cuts you off with a bruising kiss.
âCareful, meshâla.â The Mandoâa comes out in a growl as he crowds you against the bed, slotting himself between your legs. His hand slides up your thigh to your breast, pinching a nipple. âIâm not big on sharing.â
You let out a breathless giggle as his mouth descends to follow the path his hand has taken, sucking your other nipple into his mouth. The feeling of his mouth and teeth on your chest makes you moan, your hips bucking against his.
"Kix, please."
He kisses back up your chest and throat to press his forehead against yours. You can feel the way his fingers tremble against you as he reaches down to line himself up with your entrance, and your hand comes up to cup his cheek.
"Are you nervous?"
"Yes," he admits, eyes closing as he takes a deep breath.
"We don't have to do this," you assure him.
His eyes shoot open. "I want this more than anything."
"Okay," you smile.
He lets out a sigh, his body relaxing above you. "Sorry, it's just... I've wanted this for a long time, and I just don't want to mess it up."
"You won't." Your arms come around to wrap around his neck. "But I'll tell you if I'm not liking something."
He nods, ducking down to kiss you deeply. Your legs come up to wrap around his waist, and he groans into your mouth as the head of his cock rubs against your clit.
"Please," you whine as he begins to rock his hips. His cock glides easily through your slick folds, and his lips drop back to your neck. "Inside me, Kix."
"Maker, you're wet." His cock slips back down to your entrance, and you bite your lip as the head begins to breach you.
"That's what happens when you make a girl cum," you quips, moaning as he slowly inches inside of you. You feel every inch of him, the stretch more than you're used to but still deliciously perfect. "Oh, fuck!"
He stops, pulling back to look at you with concern. "Are you okay? Am I hurting you?"
"No! No, it's just... " you laugh breathlessly, your hand coming up to caress his cheek. "You're huge. Fuck, Kix."
He smirks, leaning down to kiss you as he continues to push inside of you. The stretch is unlike anything you've ever felt, and it's making your head spin. He feels amazing, thick and hot and throbbing inside of you.
"Fuck, you feel good," he grunts. "I wish you could see how good you look taking my cock."
Your cunt clenches around him at his words, and he groans. He buries his face in your neck, pressing kisses along your jaw, his breath coming out in hot puffs against your skin.
When he bottoms out, you both let out a shaky breath.
"Stars," you gasp, your fingers digging into his shoulders. "Kix, you feel amazing."
"So do you," he grits out. "You take my cock so well, mesh'la. Like you were made for me."
You moan at his words, his hips pulling back to thrust shallowly into you. You can't help the whine that escapes you, your legs tightening around his waist to pull him closer. The slow drag of his cock against your walls is almost too much, pleasure bordering on the line between pain.
"Faster," you pants, your nails scratching down his back. "Harder, Kix. I need it."
"Anything you want," he replies, his hips picking up speed.
He kisses you, tongue plunging into your mouth as he begins to snap his hips against yours. Your eyes roll back at the feeling of him filling you, the slick sounds of your cunt and his thrusts echoing throughout the room.
Kix fucks you like it's his last chance, hard and fast and rough, like he's afraid youâll disappear at any moment, and you can barely do anything but hold on.
He changes the angle of his hips slightly, and your mouth drops open as a strangled cry is torn from your lips. His cock rubs against your sweet spot with each stroke, and his head drops to your chest as his hips slam against yours.
"Stars, meshâla, you feel incredible," he grunts, pressing his face into your neck. His teeth sink into the juncture where your neck meets your shoulder, and you let out a strangled gasp.
"Oh, fuck. Don't stop, Kix," you pants, your voice breaking into a sob, your hand tangling in his hair to tug on it. His hips stutter for a moment before he picks up the pace, your entire body jolting with the force of each thrust. He's fucking you so hard, his cock driving into you with enough force that your entire body rocks with the force of it. "Kix, oh kriff."
He withdraws from your neck, his mouth returning to yours. He swallows your moans, hips pumping into your faster as you squeeze around him. The feeling of him stretching you is intoxicating, and you never want it to end. You wonder if it would be too much to ask him to stay inside your forever, his thick cock plugging you up so nothing could slip out. You feel him everywhere, all around you and inside you. It's overwhelming in the best possible way.
"Kix," you whimper, breaking the kiss to bury your face in his neck. Your teeth scrape along his skin, and you revel in the groan that escapes him. His hands tighten on your hips, thumbs pressing against the bones there.
"Meshâla," he gasps. "Kriff, I'm getting close."
"Me, too."
You can feel the fire burning low in your stomach, your walls fluttering around him. You dig your heels into his ass, encouraging him to go even deeper, and you see stars when he hits the spot inside you that makes your toes curl.
"Right there, Kix!"
He changes angles so he's hitting your g-spot on every thrust, his mouth dropping back to your neck. You can feel the sweat beading on his skin, the way his muscles flex under your hands with every movement. You scratch down his back, hips jerking to meet his, and you know he must be close. His thrusts are becoming more erratic, his breathing heavier.
"Kix, I'm gonna--" you gasp, your hand cupping the back of his neck.
He buries his face in your neck, placing open-mouthed kisses on every inch of skin in his reach. The hand on your hip slides between you, and you nearly scream when he begins to circle your clit with his thumb.
"Cum for me, beautiful," he mutters, biting your earlobe.
Your orgasm comes out of nowhere, your body seizing up as you cums. White-hot pleasure courses through you, your thighs shaking around him. You can vaguely hear him whispering praise in your ear, but you can't focus on anything except the feeling of his cock still pounding into your as you ride out your high.
"So good, mesh'la. I love the way your pussy squeezes my cock. You look so pretty when you cum, you know that?â he babbles with a low groan, hips beginning to stutter. âFuck, I'm not gonna last."
You manage to regain your bearings after a moment, your body feeling like jelly. Your limbs feel like they weigh a ton, but you're determined. You need to see him lose control, need to see him fall apart because of you. You know he's close, can feel his thrusts becoming more and more uneven.
"Cum for me, Kix," you order. You can't help the smug smirk that overtakes your features as he groans loudly. "I want to see you."
"Mesh'la," he chokes out, hips losing their rhythm as he fucks you.
"Let go, baby." You lean up to nip his jaw, the hand on the back of his neck tangling in his hair. He looks so beautiful above you, eyes screwed shut, a flush coloring his cheeks. His skin is shining with sweat, muscles flexing as he pushes himself further.
"Look at me."
His eyes flutter open, and you nearly cum again. The sight of him, eyes half-lidded and mouth hanging open, is almost enough to tip you over the edge.
"Fuck," he gasps, hips pistoning into your erratically.
"Cum for me," you repeat.
The grip on your hips is almost bruising as he buries himself inside you. His hips jerk once, twice, and then he's gone, moaning loudly as he cums. You can feel the pulsing of his cock inside you, the warm wetness flooding your cunt, and you can't help the whine that escapes you.
"Kriff," he grunts, head dropping down to rest against yours. You stay like that for a moment, both panting, the only sounds in the room the faint hum of the rain outside and your heavy breathing.
You feel boneless, completely and utterly spent. If you were to die right now, you'd die happy. Kix props himself up on his forearms, brushing your sweaty hair from your face with a grin. He presses a soft kiss to your lips, and you smile tiredly.
"Hey," you whisper.
"Hey," he replies. He ducks down to kiss you again, his smile widening. Has he always had dimples? How did you not notice those before? "How are you feeling?"
"Messy,â you laugh. You glance down at the place where your bodies are joined, feeling him twitch inside you.
"Let me take care of that," he says, gently sliding out of you. The sound he makes when he leaves your body is positively sinful, and your thighs clench at the feeling of his cum leaking out of you.
Kix brushes another kiss against your temple before standing from the bed. You watch with half-lidded eyes as he disappears into the refresher, returning a moment later with a damp washcloth. He cleans you up gently, tossing the cloth in the direction of the refresher once he's finished.
"Come here," you murmur, reaching out for him.
He climbs into bed beside you, and you roll onto your side to press yourself against his chest, throwing your leg over his. His arms come around you immediately, holding you close as he peppers kisses on your hair. You snuggle closer, sighing happily as the warmth radiating from him cocoons around you. His hands run over every inch of available skin as if he's committing it to memory.
"I can't believe we waited so long to do that," you mumbled against his chest.
Kix laughs, the vibrations running through his chest and into yours. You're suddenly aware of how bare you both are, how you're pressed together from shoulder to toe. It should be unnerving, but it isn't. You feel safe.
"Me either. We should've been doing that this whole time."
You giggle, your hand running across his side to rest on his ribs. You can feel the steady thump of his heartbeat beneath your palm. "Maybe next time you can fuck me on a med table."
He groans, the hand on your waist moving down to squeeze your ass. "That violates about ten different health codes."
"Fine. The supply closet, then."
"Meshâla â" The words are a choked moan, and you canât help but laugh.
"You're cute when you're flustered."
"You're a menace."
You lean up to press a kiss to his jaw, smirking. "But you like it.â
"You're right," he chuckles, leaning down to capture your lips in a gentle kiss. "I do."
You hum happily, your eyes fluttering closed as his lips move slowly against yours before a rumbling sensation under your hand makes them shoot open.
"Was that your stomach?"
Kix blushes and looks away. "Maybe."
You roll your eyes fondly, pushing away from his chest. He whines, trying to pull your back against him.
âYouâre hungry,â you laugh.
"I am not," he protests weakly.
You stand from the bed, grinning when his eyes immediately drop to your body. His gaze is so heated that you can't help but flush, and it only burns brighter when you bend over to pick up your pants, and he lets out a low groan.
"Mesh'la, if you keep doing that, I'll never let you leave this bed," he growls.
You bite your lip, your eyes flickering down to the sheet barely covering his growing erection. The sight is mouthwatering, and your mind fills with a thousand different ideas about what you'd like to do with him. But your stomach growls again, and you sigh, walking toward the refresher.
"Where are you going?" he pouts, propping himself up on his elbows.
"You're not the only one who's hungry." You stop at the door, giving him a mischievous smile. "And if you're a good boy, I'll make it worth the wait."
Kix is quiet for a moment before he speaks. "I can wait."
"Good boy."
His responding groan has you grinning from ear to ear as you disappear behind the door, your laughter echoing off the walls.

Fives x Fem!Reader
NSFW Ahead Minors DNI 18+!!!
A/N: To all the girls who wish they lost their virginity to a clone trooper - this oneâs for us.
Tags/Warnings: Loss of virginity, Best Friends to Lovers, Alcohol, Gambling, Lil bit of angst, Fluff, Smut, Oral Sex (F! Receiving), Vaginal Fingering, Slow burn (technically), Love Confessions, Happy Ending!!
Summary: Since the moment you were transferred to the 501âst as a Civ Medic you and Fives gravitated towards each other and over many months of friendship you canât help but slowly fall for the charming ARC Trooper. The tension only increases when he finds out just how inexperienced you are.
Word Count: 9.8k
(For clarification, the italics are flashbacks)
The data pad read âOrder for Civilian Medic Transferâ, which is really just a nicer way of saying âYou canât do anything about this, so just accept it and sufferâ.Â
You had no choice when you were inevitably rotated between legions, untethered. Your newest order was to the 501st, and you find yourself standing in an empty Medbay; itâs quiet. Too quiet. Youâve either been fortunately assigned to a legion that didnât see much action, if that were even possible, or you were stood in the eye of a hurricane.
Your eyes are caught on the tattoo across the scalp of the head medic, âA good droid is a dead oneâ and you suppress a smile at the sentiment. Itâs why you were needed - clones werenât fond of droids, even those programmed for medical purposes.Â
âNew?â The clone asks, eyes focused on a datapad. You werenât, not by any means, you had been rotated countless times over the duration of the clone wars. But, you already begin preparing yourself for the usual gruff demeanour that often greeted you, although you were better than a droid, to many clones you were still just a âCivâ, despite the many sleepless nights of studying and GAR medical training.Â
âNo, sir, transferred from the 104th.â You keep your words short, formal, but the clone medicâs eyes light up in recognition.
âUnder Commander Wolffe?â He asks, a hint of surprise in his tone as he actually looks away from the datapad.
âBriefly,â you admit, recalling how just a few days before the commander in question practically growled at you when you had to check his eye. You lasted a week there. âI was with the 212th before that.â
The head medic eyes you with a curious look, waiting for you to elaborate, so you continued, âTypically Civ medics are just seen as temporary by the head medic, until a clone medic becomes available.â You explain, perhaps a bit too fast. How many times could you fit the word medic in that sentence? You internally groan, but he gives a small hum of acknowledgement, whether it was in agreement or disagreement of your statement, his face didnât betray him either way.Â
âGo get yourself settled, and then report back here in an hour.â He says with a slight sigh, passing you the datapad, a blinking spot on the screen indicating where your bunk is - at least this time you werenât in the shared barracks. âWeâve only just got back from being planetside on Coruscant for a week.â Ah, that answers the question of why it had been so quiet then.
âThank you, sir.â You nod, picking up your small pack of personal belongings, it wasnât much, but it was the only anchor you had when you were transferred around so often.
âKix is fine.â He nods, giving you a genuine smile. âWelcome to the 501st.â
â----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The small room is thrumming with energy thatâs been ignited from an evening of drinking following a particularly rough mission for the men. Contraband in the form of amber liquid that burns your throat and fuels bad decisions, is grouped together on a small crate youâve been using as a makeshift table for the evening.Â
Youâre currently sitting on the floor, leaning against a crate next to Fives as he divulges details to you about their most recent mission. Details that you probably arenât supposed to know, but he tells you anyways, because âwhat are friends for if not to impressâ, he had once told you with a sly wink.Â
You knew most of the other Civ workers in the GAR werenât as close to the clones they served with as you were. In all of the legions you had been bounced around from, there was a clear divide between the small number of Civ members, compared to the clones. But in the 501âst, those theoretical lines were blurred, or probably didnât exist at all, with how Fivesâs arm settled around your shoulder. He always had been the most friendly out of his brothers.
Your attention is drawn away from the warm expression of your friend, and you groan as you catch Jesse and Hardcase standing side by side, comparing their lengths.Â
âPut it away, for the last time theyâre all the same size!â You call out with a laugh, making Fives frown and whip around as heâs been interrupted from your conversation.
âKnow from experience with clones?â Jesse sends you a drunken wink as his hands sloppily stuffs the offending body part back into his blacks.
âMedical experience with clones.â Your face almost hurts from smiling as you shake your head, before turning back to Fives. Itâs faint and fleeting, but a look of annoyance crosses his features. Youâre not awarded the opportunity to ask about it though, because heâs already delving into another over-exaggerated story of how he took out a whole group of droids on his own.Â
You wouldnât really care if they all werenât true, you just enjoyed hearing him talk. The man could make even the most boring senate conversations interesting, youâre sure of it. So you smile, hooked onto each of his words, cursing the way your heart beats too fast when he reaches out to push away some hair that's fallen from the usual tight bun you have to wear it in. His fingers graze the skin of your cheek, leaving a burning trail.
Itâs a small gesture that doesnât even break the rhythm of his conversation. The touches are natural, instinctive on his part. Heâs always touching you - you know to him it means nothing more than that, but your tell-tale racing heart screams at you that you wish it did.
â----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you had returned from being settled in, Kix had directed you to some neatly stacked crates containing new medical supplies to restock the old ones. Your sluggish movements remind you just how little sleep youâd managed on the transport here from the 104th, your body was still aching from the hours spent laying on the durasteel floor between containers of explosives. Not the best sleep youâve had, and surprisingly not the worst.
âHey Kix, can you tell me if this looks infected?â A voice pulls you from your thoughts, alerting you to the attention of a topless clone trooper, something that no longer phased you given how many entirely naked clones you had treated. Upon seeing you, the clone goes from being relaxed to formal instantly, clearing his throat as he fumbled to get the top half of his blacks on.Â
âYou,â he clears his throat, his voice now adopting the typical âtrooper at attentionâ tone as he pulls the clothing over his head, âAre not Kix.â His top blacks are on backwards, and he runs a finger along the collar which now presses uncomfortably to his flushed neck.
âNo, Iâm not.â You agree with him, suppressing a small smile at how he looks caught off guard, from his surprised expression you may as well be a battle droid standing in the medical bay.
âMay I?â You gesture to his top, and he reluctantly removes it once more, taking a seat on a free bed. You see his issue, a common rash splaying across his shoulders from where his armour has been rubbing his skin through his blacks.
âYouâre the new medic?â He sounds more nervous than you are, his jaw tensing when you run your fingers along the rash, checking for any signs of infection.
You give a small hum, confirming heâs correct as you step away. âAnd you are?â
âEcho. I, uh.. Wasnât expecting a Civ?â They never do.
âNot infected, by the way, itâs just irritated.â You seek out a steroid cream, which you conveniently just restocked. âHere, use this twice a day, and keep the area as dry as possible.â
He gives you a short, formal nod before he redresses, correctly this time, and leaves the room with his face almost as red as his rash.Â
Youâve moved onto another crate when you catch the movement from the corner of your eye, somebody passing the door to the Medbay. You think nothing of it until you see the figure again, this time he slows slightly to glance inside the room.
He walks past a third time - and then a fourth.
On what would be the fifth time you poke your head out slightly to watch him walk almost to the end of the hallway, just to turn around and begin his lap back past the door. He stops in his tracks when he sees you looking curiously at him, but quickly recovers even though heâs been caught, and strides back towards you. You catch a glimpse of a tattoo on his temple, but itâs his grin, framed by neatly trimmed facial hair, that seems to distinguish him from other clone troopers youâve come across. Itâs cocky, confident, and warm. Especially warm when he takes hold of your hand and presses it to his lips in a greeting that makes it feel as though youâre trapped in a boiler room, overheating.
âIâm Fives, and you are?â
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You were settled between Echo and Fives, the three of you with empty cups waiting for the next round of the game. Each round you had to take a shot based on your answer to the question, which so far had ranged between âIf youâve been shot by a droidâ - which Rex groaned at, and âIf you ever fucked a girl in the 79âs fresherâ, which made several of the men cheer.Â
Your heart sinks a bit when Fives drinks at that one, recalling the night just over a month ago on Coruscant.Â
You had all been there together, his arm slung around your shoulder in the booth as you both laughed at some fleeting joke made by Jesse. You had grown closer, close enough to the point that he got teased relentlessly by his brothers for calling you his âbest friendâ whilst under the influence of some strong pain medication in the Medbay.Â
You left to get some more drinks from the bar when Sinker approached you, a spark of recognition in his eyes. You were trying to focus on ordering the drinks, blushing as you attempted to turn down the Sergeant who was whispering over-sweetened things in your ear at how he wished youâd stayed with the 104th for longer.
You smiled in thanks when Echo came to help, claiming he saw that you may need help with carrying the drinks. You were grateful for the assistance, laughing with Echo under the usual volume of the crowd until you caught sight of your best friend, stumbling through the crowd towards the fresher, his hand intertwined with a beautiful Twiâlek girl.
You remember how Echo looked at you as he realised the reason behind your tightened jaw and hoarse voice when you excused yourself for some air. You couldnât stand the sympathy in his eyes, the eyes that looked identical to those of your best friend, the man you were in love with.Â
So much for being unattached.
âIt wasnât that good.â Fives nudges your knee with his own, pulling you from your thoughts. A casual smirk plays on his lips and youâre about to laugh off the comment, ready to deflect the attention from your friend, when his twin interrupts you.
âYeah, cause you couldnât get it up!â Echo slurs as he leans against you, clutching his cup as some of the amber liquid sloshes down your chest before he apologises and wipes the stain above your breast with hazy eyes. Fives catches his brother's wrist, pushing it away from your chest lightly, and your mind races at Echoâs statement - Fives hadnât slept with the TwiâLek girl?
âShut up, Vod.â Fives grumbles, his fingers tightening around his own cup as he looks away from the two of you. A blush, that must just be from a mix of alcohol and annoyance, creeps up to his face. Thankfully as most of these questions have been related to battle or women, youâve barely drank, so you can at least try to be rational and push away thoughts that creep into your mind of how you think Fives would take you against the wall of a fresher stall. You can ignore the contemplation on if he would show restraint, or if he would make the walls shake.
âHow about this - take a shot for how many people youâve slept with,â Jesse calls out to the small group of you, an intoxicated grin on his face. Several hands reach for the last remaining bottle at once, ready to fill their cups, each of their owners immediately wanting to show off to the rest of the room's occupants.
âNo!â Kixâs hand is the fastest to snatch the liquor away, holding it close to his chest plate. âWe are not looking after you all in the Medbay with alcohol poisoning!â He gestures between you both, and Jesse bargains, coming to a compromise for 1 shot for every certain number, but the specifics of the round are drowned out by your own heartbeat.
Your body stills and you look down to your half full cup. It would be easy to drink, to lie to yourself and those around you. You donât even have to drink more than once and yet you just continue to stare at your reflection in the liquid, itâs as if the cup were judging you.
âYou know youâre supposed to at least drink once, right?â Fives whispers in your ear.
âYeah, just got distracted trying to work out which of your brothers are definitely exaggerating,â You nod, taking a sip from the cup as you avoid his eyes that burn you more than any liquor ever could. You place the empty cup at your feet and lean your head against Echos, managing a small smile at how heâs snoring against your shoulder.Â
Fives gives a small hum of thought, finishing his own drink before placing the empty cup next to you, allowing his finger to linger on the rim for a moment. Your gaze is focused on the way the traces of liquor coat his fingertips, making the battle-calloused skin glisten. You close your eyes, trying to fend off the thoughts of how the whiskey tainted fingers would taste on your tongue, and the mental image of them coated in something sweeter than the alcohol.
âRemember the first time I dragged you here?â Fivesâ amused tone forces your eyes open, his warm hand settling on your knee and he taps his fingers rhythmically, almost to the same beat as your unsteady heart.
It had been just over one standard month, one of your longest posts so far, and you were already finding yourself anxious that you could be transferred away at any moment. If you had told yourself just over a month ago that in your new assignment with the 501st that you would wake to two half-drunk troopers in your room, begging you to come play Sabbac with them, you would have diagnosed them with battle induced psychosis.
âWell, not with us-â Fives starts, rummaging around the small closet for something you could wear over your sleeping vest.
âFor us.â Echo finishes, practically pulling you out of your bed with an eager nod as Fives approaches you with something in his hands.
âHands up, sweetheart.â In your tired state, you obey thoughtlessly, allowing Fives to slip the sweatshirt over your head. His fingers trail down your sides, eliciting goosebumps across your skin as he pulls the heavy fabric down over you, and between the contact and his name for you, your heart skips a beat. It nearly stops when he winks before turning away to get your shoes.
Clone Troopers were often flirty, but over the last month, Fives seemed determined to earn the title of being the biggest flirt. Regardless which of his brothers got sick or minorly injured, he was always the one pulling them through the door and would then spend the entire time sweet talking you. Just last week, Rex had nearly concussed himself on a pipe and looked like he wanted to hit Fives who didnât stop talking the whole time you examined the injury.
âAnd why do you need me to play for you? Iâve never even played before,â You swallow thickly, sliding your feet into the shoes as the twins guide you from your room, both of their hands on your back, ushering you down complex hallways that all look identical.
âFives got caught cheating, so we both got banned,â Echo rolls his eyes, placing the blame on his brother, who begins telling you the rules of the game, which they are playing a slight variation of given that they only had items to bet, not credits. You had reluctantly allowed them to bring a full bottle of rather expensive vodka you had purchased last time you were on Coruscant.
âYou did not wake up the new medic just to get her to play for you.â Jesse groans, and Rex begins apologising to you for his brothers, ready to scold them for waking you up, but you raise your hand to stop him.
âItâs no bother.â You shake your head, remembering Fives and Echoâs advice to act confident - so really you just had to ask yourself âWhat would Fives do?â
âYou know how to play?â Kix asks, surprised by your sudden change in demeanour. He had been used to you keeping your head down in the Medbay, following orders, not showing up with a bottle of alcohol to bet on and Fivesâs arm slung around your shoulder.
âOh please, Iâve been playing Sabbac longer than some of you have been out of the tube.â You feel Fives give your shoulder a proud squeeze at your lie as he places the bottle of vodka on the makeshift table, and you both take a seat, âDeal me in?â
After several rounds of you finding your feet in the game, Fives drops his hand to your waist, giving it a squeeze - heâs signalling to go in for the kill. You turn your head slightly to look into his eyes, and he gives a slight nod that doesnât go unnoticed by your opponents, heâs making it look so sure youâre going to win, but in reality your cards werenât good.Â
 You and Rex were down to the last cards, everyone else had folded. Either of you could have the winning hand, but if one of you backed out now before your cards were revealed, you could at least keep your own stake in the game. It was about the bluffing now, and thankfully you were good at that.
âWell, Captain?â You and Fives lean backward in sync. You press the cards to your chest, hiding how theyâre on the verge of shaking from Fivesâ grip on your waist, but also to hide your tell. Itâs a small, barely noticeable movement, your forefinger running along the edge of your thumbnail -Â a nervous movement that Rex hasnât noticed past your arrogant smile that perfectly mirrors Fivesâ. âWhatâll it be?â
Thereâs a short beat where the room is silent and you hold the gaze of the Captain, all of the others staring between you both like itâs an intense standoff. He looks away first, tossing the cards down with a huff as he backs out, giving the win to you; he actually had a good hand.Â
âOh and by the way, sir,â You lay your cards down, revealing that you had already gone bust, over the number limit to win. âIâve never played Sabbac in my life.â You grin at the shocked expression on his face that melts into a warm smile and youâre enveloped into a hug from Fives while Echo reaps your winnings from the table.
After you all decide to have a drink from the bottle you bet with, the tiredness catches up to you, and you struggle to stay alert with the alcohol that casts a haze on your mind.Â
âCâmon, Iâll take you back.â Fives nudges you, picking up the half-full bottle of vodka as he pulls you to your feet, shaking his head in amusement when he tugs a bit too hard and you fall into his chest. âAlready falling for me, sweetheart?â his voice is low, something that can only be heard between the two of you in the room full of his boisterous brothers.
You roll your eyes in amusement, a defence against how the whisper makes heat spread throughout your body. You take a half step back, placing the empty cup on the crate as you exchange a short goodbye with Echo.
âIâm gonna walk our lovely medic here back to her room, Iâll be back soon,â Fives gives a mock salute as you both make your exit and you try to ignore the whistle from one of the men as Fives chuckles, shaking his head. âAnimals arenât they, Meshâla?â
You hadnât known this side to any of the clones youâd served with, albeit you were just a medic, none of them had ever been this relaxed around you. The entire time you had been in the GAR, it had been lonely. There was no one to celebrate with after battle, no late night conversations between friends, no one to just sit with and cry when you werenât able to save a life. But walking through the corridors with Fives somehow made it all worth it.
âYou did great, sweetheart, Iâm impressed.â Fives brings the bottle to his lips, taking a swig of the clear liquid as you stop outside of your door. âYouâre just full of surprises arenât you?â His tongue darts out to lick the vodka off his lips and you canât help but let your eyes linger there after the action. His gaze is already meeting yours when you look up, heat flickering in his eyes like the flame of a candle - heâs caught you staring.
Fivesâ hand comes up to hold your waist once more, his grip tighter now, drawing you closer like you were a flower he wanted to admire. The scent of vodka from his breath intoxicates you, and you find yourself hypnotised, leaning closer. You donât know what causes it, but at the last moment he freezes, his hand falling from your waist to press the panel outside your door, opening it.
âGoodnight.â He gives a tight-lipped smile before stepping away, walking back down the corridor in the direction of the barracks. Despite the heavy sweatshirt and warmth of the vodka in your blood, you feel empty as you enter your dark room. You find yourself lying awake in your bunk as you work through a mixture of disappointment, embarrassment, and something that ignites an ache between your thighs.Â
He stopped himself from kissing you, and you didnât know why.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You know your way back, he doesnât need to walk you, yet he always does. Itâs been almost 8 standard months since you were transferred to the 501st, you could practically navigate your way around blindfolded. So, you know you're about to turn onto the corridor your room is on when he speaks.
âYou didnât drink.âÂ
Your mouth goes dry, itâs like youâve just eaten a whole pack of ration crackers while sitting in the Tatooine desert with no water. The lights above feel harsher, as if youâre under a spotlight on the Medbay examination table, and Fives is the one inspecting you. Heâs peering at you from the corner of your vision, gauging your reaction to his statement.Â
âWhat are you talking about, Fives?â You shrug in an attempt to appear nonchalant, but unfortunately due to his metabolism he was as sober as you, meaning he was just as observant. You couldnât brush off his attention when he places a hand on your shoulder, stopping you in your place just as you round a corner. From here you can see the door to your room, the third from the end. Itâs taunting you at how close you were to getting away with the secret youâd been keeping against your chest.
âYou know exactly what Iâm talking about,â His free hand grasps your chin between his thumb and forefinger, directing your attention to him. You swallow as he draws your face closer, eyes raking over your features as he gives a small shake of his head. âYou didnât drink.â
âYes I did.â Your voice is impressively steady, youâre good at bluffing. Fives already knows this, but he knows you better, and his eyes dart down in search of something. Your fingertip presses against the edge of your thumb in a movement that Fives had catalogued in his brain since that day you beat Rex at Sabbac.
The credit drops. You can see the moment it registers in Fivesâ brain as his jaw goes slack, his grip on your chin loosening.
âAre you a- mph!â Your hand covers his mouth and you push him to the wall before he can shout aloud what youâve kept unsaid for your whole time in the GAR. Fives was an ARC trooper, he could easily push you away, but his muscles seem to weaken against your grip. You feel the resistance in his body melt under your touch, as his eyes soften just above where your hand covers his mouth.
âI know youâre a loud mouth but please,â Your voice is low, urgent, as you give him a warning look, your face burning from embarrassment as heâs just come to the realisation of why you didnât drink. You didnât have any number to drink for. You can see him linking it together in his head - why you turned down flirtatious advances from his brothers, why he walked you back alone after every late night. It was why your body was so responsive to every small touch and honeyed word from his lips; like a flower chasing fleeting sunlight in the late afternoon. âJust this once, Fives, keep your voice down.âÂ
Fives gives a short nod down at you, assuring you heâll be quiet. His fingers loop around your wrist, tugging your hand from his mouth. You unsuccessfully try to ignore the way his lips had felt against your skin, youâre so caught on the small patch of wetness on your palm that you miss the clench of his jaw and flash of emotions in his eyes.
âYouâve really never..?â He trails off, the words settling into the small gap between you, theyâre not taunting or teasing, theyâre simply disbelieving. Even though heâs released your wrist now, itâs still suspended in the air, as if youâve been frozen in carbonite. Youâre afraid to move away, that it would be just like all those months ago, that the moment would be shattered and lost.
Your breaths are mingling together, youâre like an asteroid orbiting, drawing closer and closer to his planet, bracing for impact. Fives is unblinking, waiting for the answer he already knows, but needs to hear for himself.Â
âNo.âÂ
Something stirs in the depths of Fivesâ eyes and thereâs a tension you could almost reach out and grasp from the air. Your body acts on its own, hand breaking free from its frozen stupor to find interest in a small scar on his jaw. You remember treating the small cut, he never even flinched, but you had let him hold your hand anyways. âItâs for comfortâ, Fives had told you, accompanied by the usual sly wink that made it all the more difficult for your free hand to remain steady when you cleaned the cut.
Fivesâ eyes slip closed when your fingertips graze against the shining scar, his breathing becoming carefully controlled. You recognise the pattern, itâs the same pace it was during the times he would take you to the training rooms, his body pressed to yours as he taught you to shoot. He would chuckle into your ear when your hands would shake, causing you to miss.
Your hands are steady now, no signs of the trembling are evident when you raise your attention higher. Your finger traces its way over the inky â5â on his temple, and youâre about to move it away but you find yourself held in place, fingers still pressed against the tattoo.
Fivesâ constant touches were always casual, fleeting, and meaningless. But this? This was deliberate.Â
His gloved hand is circled around the bare skin of your wrist once more, keeping your fingers pressed against his temple. After a short, breathless moment, he moves your hand, but not to push it away this time. He pulls it closer, making your fingers trace across his cheekbone, against his warm skin all the way on a deliberate path to his mouth.Â
Fivesâ lips ghost across your fingertips and in contrast to his rough exterior and battle scarred skin, theyâre soft. Just above the point of your fixation is his heavy stare, focused and serious, like youâre his target in the heat of battle.
Your heart is thrumming against your ribcage like blaster fire and you wonder if he can feel the pulse in your wrist through his gloves at the sheer force of it. Thereâs barely any space between the two of you, and it only lessens with every beat of your heart.
âJust⌠stay still for a second, please,â Fivesâ eyes burn into yours and heâs like a black hole orbiting you, pulling you in with his gravity. âCan you do that for me, sweetheart?â His voice is a strained whisper, just cosmic background noise, all you can focus on is how his breath fans across your lips.Â
His eyes close again when you nod, and you allow yourself to slip away into the same darkness as he consumes all of your senses.
The touch is light, a soft brush of his lips against your own, and the gentle contact has a shiver running through your body. His hand has placed your palm back to his jaw, covering it with his own as he pulls you in deeper. The second kiss is more confident, the swipe of his tongue over your lower lip has the world around you dissolving into a meaningless void as he becomes the centre of your universe.Â
Before you can part your lips for him, Fives pulls away, just enough so he can look at you. Thereâs a dazed expression on his face, like heâs been concussed but is strangely happy about it. The momentary bewilderment melts away into an unusually shy smile and heâs about to kiss you again when youâre interrupted. There's laughter echoing from the direction you just came and Fives pulls back further, a suddenly serious look taking over his face.
Youâre filled with a strange sense of deja vu when he steps away, your heart already sinking. Before you can open your mouth to apologise for getting carried away, to try and repair whatever strain the kiss could have put on your friendship, youâre being pulled along by his gentle grasp. Fives is making urgent paces down the short walk to your door, slamming his free hand to the control panel to get you both away from whatever prying eyes may have stumbled upon your private moment.
The door whooshes down to swallow you both in the darkness of your room and just like all those months ago, your back is pressed against the cool durasteel door. Only this time, youâre on the other side of it.
You immediately miss the warmth his body has been providing you with when he walks over to your desk, fumbling in the darkness from your lamp switch. Your lips still tingle from where his own were pressed against yours, and you swear you can still taste him.
The room is poorly illuminated from the dim bulb, but it's enough to highlight the figure of Fives leaning over your desk and you take in the full sight of him. Heâs still wearing his armour from the waist down, but his upper half is only dressed in his tight blacks, and the lamp casts shadows that accentuate every ridge of muscle. Itâs times like this where youâre reminded the man in front of you isnât just your best friend, but also a highly decorated ARC Trooper, a man who spends most of his days in battle.
The serious look doesnât leave his face, even when heâs moved back in front of you, blocking out the rest of your room with his large frame. At some point in the darkness, Fives has removed his gloves, allowing you to feel the rough skin of his hand as it cups your face. His thumb tugs at your lower lip, smearing saliva across the swollen skin as he teases the sensitive flesh. You can make out the apprehensive desire in his eyes as he marvels down at your mouth, before looking up to meet your gaze once more.
âKriff, IâŚâ His voice is light, and thereâs an uncertain, almost desperate edge to it before he swallows it down. âSweetheart, do you want this?âÂ
It would be easy to lie to the both of you and back out. You never expected to meet anyone when you enlisted into the GAR straight from your medical school. Back then you had wanted to be a doctor, it was expected of you by your family, you sacrificed your entire social life to work for it.Â
You were never given the luxury of free-time, how could you ever have met anyone when all you did in your later teen years, when all your friends were partying and meeting their partners, was study? It was never a case that you didnât want to be with anyone, but life simply prevented you from it. You were in your third year when the war broke out, two more years at the university and you would have graduated, but instead you decided to take your study credits and enlist as a medic. In less than a standard rotation from the moment you notified the university, you were on a transport to your first assignment.
You had let your work and the war rob you of so many experiences, you wouldnât let them take this from you too. You wouldnât let them take him from you too.
âYes, Fives.â You nod, allowing your hands to rest on his broad shoulders. Youâre sure of this, sure of him.
âTell me to stop,â Thereâs a hunger in Fivesâ eyes when you say his name and his lips press back to yours in a kiss thatâs over far too quickly. âAt any time, tell me to stop.â Heâs holding your face still, unmoving until he has your consent.
âOkay.â Thereâs no reluctance in your tone, just a breathless need that makes Fivesâ jaw tick.
Fives exhales, his shoulders relaxing and your eyes close again in anticipation, awaiting his kiss. But instead you feel the heat of his forehead press to yours, as if heâs anchoring himself against you, just for a moment.
âOkay, sweetheart.â His mouth is instantly on yours, his right hand still cups your jaw, but his left slips around your back in search of the zip on your uniform. He makes quick work of pulling the zipper down to loosen the material from your skin, and both hands travel down to your hips, tugging at the edge of the fabric.
âHands up.â Fivesâ voice is low in your ear as he presses a kiss to your hairline, and you raise your arms, allowing him to slip the top from your body. He discards it on the floor, not wanting to waste any time that could be spent with his hands on your exposed skin.
Fives is slower this time. Each movement is purposeful when he guides you both towards your small bunk, his tongue slipping past your lips in a kiss that makes you dizzy as you taste him in your mouth.Â
When the back of your knees meet the edge of your bunk, Fivesâ lips begin to trail down your body. His path starts at the soft skin of your now exposed cleavage, and continues down past your bra, over the smooth skin of your stomach. Thereâs a soft scrape when his armour makes contact with the floor, heâs dropping to a kneeling position with his lips hovering over your abdomen. You look down at the man kneeling before you with his fingers hooked in the waistband of your uniform leggings, and you canât help but smile. Fives pauses momentarily, sending a wink up at you before he tugs the fabric down, exposing the flesh of your legs.Â
âLay down.â Fives whispers, and you can feel his warm breath tickle your stomach.
You settle backwards onto the bunk, allowing Fives to remove your leggings entirely, along with your shoes. Youâre left in just your simple, black GAR issued bra and panties. Itâs nothing special by any means, but Fives eyes you as if youâre an oasis heâs stumbled upon in the middle of a month-long battle. One meant only for him.
You let your eyes slip closed as you hear the familiar noise of his armour being removed, clattering to the floor. Itâs something youâve heard many times when heâs come to relax with you on an evening and you find yourself counting each piece removed as a distraction until bare fingers brush your knee. Itâs a comforting touch to draw you back to him.
âOpen your eyes, sweetheart, look at me.â Fives is sat just between your legs, bare aside from tight boxers that leave little of his anatomy to the imagination. You already knew what clones looked like naked, you had treated enough of them to not be phased by any part of their body. But a clone on a Medbay table was different to your best friend whose lips were pressing to the soft flesh of your inner thigh. âIs this okay?â
He inhales against your panties and you attempt to swallow your embarrassment and nervousness at the sight of your friend between your legs with only a thin layer of fabric between you. The sight of his ever-present smile between your legs sends a flood of heat through your body before it concentrates in your lower stomach.
When you donât reply immediately, he pulls back slightly, giving the thigh heâs hooked over his shoulder a light squeeze. His brown eyes are filled with concern, searching your expression for any hesitation.Â
âYou still with me?â His thumb traces patterns against your skin, each movement only encouraging the fire in your body.
âIâm still with you,â You nod, watching as something lights up in his eyes. âWhat are you-âÂ
Fives immediately silences your question with an action. His wet, open mouth presses to your thigh again and you feel yourself exposed to him when he hooks a finger in your panties, pulling them to the side.Â
âIâm taking my time with you Meshâla.â His hot breath fans over your now exposed cunt and you fight the urge to clasp your legs together, youâve never felt more vulnerable lying in your bunk, entirely bare to the person you trust most and itâs a vulnerability that makes your heart race as if youâre under attack.Â
Fives seems to sense your nervousness as he holds your knees firmly apart with his shoulders and free hand, keeping your legs open for him to litter small kisses on your inner thighs, all the while keeping you exposed for him.Â
âFocus on me, Cyar'ika.â
Before your apprehension can get the better of you, Fives is licking a slow, experimental stripe up your slit, parting your folds with his tongue. His eyes are on yours the whole time, studying the awed look on your face and gasps of pleasure when his tongue runs over your clit.
Fives shakes his head, grumbling something under his breath. Before you can decipher it, heâs using one hand to lift your hips from the bed while his other practically tears the panties from your body, leaving you in just your bra. Strong hands move to grip the top of your thighs and pull you to him so he can secure his mouth to your core without obstruction, filling the room with wet, desperate noises as he laps at your cunt.Â
Your hands twist in the thin bed sheets, desperately searching for something to ground you as his tongue delves inside you. His mouth is attached to you like youâre his last meal before an execution, the first drop of water after a mission on a desert planet, something heâs denied himself for far too long.
One of his fingers circles your entrance and your eyes snap open, finding him already looking up at you with a question in his gaze, asking for permission. You can only nod, not trusting your ability to speak with Fivesâs tongue dragging slow circles around your clit.Â
Your head slumps back to the floor when he proceeds with your consent, the sensation is entirely foreign as you feel his digit sink into you, testing your tightness. Your own fingers were nothing in comparison to his, even just the one is beginning to stretch you.
âFivesâŚâ Your breathless plea encourages him and your teeth sink into your lower lip as he adds another finger to stretch you further. You let out a small whimper at the slight burn and he slows his movements slightly to allow you time to adjust.
âShh, Meshâla,â He changes the angle slightly, massaging his fingertips against the walls of your cunt as they search for a particularly sensitive spot. Your body jolts, arching towards him when he finds it, and a moan escapes you. âThatâs it, relax.âÂ
The heat in your core is building as you grow wetter, making it easy for him to work his fingers into your tight hole, only adding to the growing pleasure building in every part of you, begging to escape. He presses his thumb to your swollen clit, one goal in mind.
âNeed to make sure youâre ready for me, Cyar'ika.â
Fives withdraws his fingers from your gushing cunt, his hands instead moving from under your thighs and securing themselves back to their original position on your knees, keeping your trembling legs open as he continues to suck lightly on your clit when you reach your climax. Your body shakes, set alight with pleasure thatâs only intensified by the way his head rests against your thigh, looking up at you as if committing the moment to memory.
When you finally relax against the bed, the pleasure having temporarily robbed your body of energy, you expect him to be done and move onto the next step. Instead, he lets out a low chuckle and begins circling your clit with his thumb once more.Â
âDo you think you can give me another one, Meshâla?â His soft smile contrasts his words, but his eyes gleam with mischief when you whisper a small âyesâ in response.
Heâs using just his fingers this time, two of them working you in a scissoring motion, stretching your walls as his other hand slips between you and the mattress. His fingers expertly find the clasp to your bra, freeing you from the last item of your clothing.
His pupils are dilated, drinking in the sight of your writhing body, now entirely bare for him. He leans back slightly, taking in every detail, something between a smile and a smirk on his lips when his eyes focus on his own fingers pumping in your tight hole. The moment he feels your orgasm hit, cunt tightening around his fingers, he descends on you once more. Teeth pulling at your nipple, his thumb secured to your clit as he lets you ride out your orgasm, your hips attempt to grind up against his hand, chasing pleasure.
The world is falling back into place around you when he shifts his weight on the bed, and you hear the final piece of clothing hit the floor.
Fives is kneeling in front of you, a hand on each of your knees as you take in the sight of his bare body. His large cock makes the breath hitch in your throat, but he presses a soft kiss against your lips, prepared to ease the tension that threatens to overwhelm your body. His eyes are filled with a warmth that reassures you when he pulls back to press another kiss against your forehead, âYou can take it, Cyar'ika, Iâll go slow.â
Fives settles his hips between your parted thighs, hooking one of your legs over his waist to keep you open beneath him. Soft lips ghost over yours and you feel the head of his cock settle against your entrance.
âAre you ready?â His thumb brushes along your jaw, a loving reminder that itâs your best friend above you, the person you trust the most. The same man who you would stay up with late at night after every difficult battle, who you would always pick up an extra ration bar for, the man you were in love with.Â
âYes.â Your eyes slip closed as you press your lips back to his.
The initial pressure of his cock entering you gives way to a sharp pinch that causes you to suck in a sharp breath through your teeth. Despite all of Fivesâs efforts to prepare you, the unfamiliar pain seizes your body in an uncomfortable grasp.
âRelax for me, Cyar'ika.â He murmurs the assurance against your mouth, forcing his own breathing to slow, unconsciously prompting you to calm down. A hand presses to the underside of your thigh, pushing it upwards as he rolls his hips into you, heâs only halfway inside and you try to force yourself to relax around his impressive girth.
âThatâs my girl.â He groans into your neck as his hand drops from your thigh to drag precise circles around your tight clit. The added layer of stimulation makes you gush around the half of his length inside you, making it easier to take his cock, but he doesnât push any deeper. Instead he rocks his hips in a shallow motion, allowing you to adjust to this size first.
âShh, donât worry, Meshâla,â He strokes your hair, continuing to press soft kisses of assurance to your mouth as he works your clit in time with his shallow thrusts. âItâll be easier once you cum with me inside you, then youâll be more relaxed for me.â
Fivesâ hips pick up their pace, but he still limits himself, expertly watching your body's reactions to his cock. Heâs continuously ensuring he doesn't go too fast, too hard, too deep. Itâs a balancing act, one he seems to be perfect at with the way he already has the beginnings of another orgasm taking grasp of your body.
âFives!â
Youâre grinding helplessly against him now, one hand on his tanned chest and the other grasping at the short hair on the back of his head. Between Fivesâs whispered words of adoration in your ear, you can make out the wet noises as he thrusts inside you, each movement causing more of your wetness to drip between your joined bodies, smearing you both with your arousal.
Youâre hooked onto his words like a lifeline as he guides you through the experience.
âKriff-â He shakes his head as he takes in the sight of you cumming around his cock. But itâs not lust in his eyes, itâs something far more intense. âI promised I wouldnât do this..â His voice is strained, like heâs trying to keep the words inside of him.Â
Before you can even catch your breath fully to ask what he means, your world is spinning when he pulls you upwards, slotting himself underneath you so you can no longer try to read the emotions in his face. Your back is now pressed to his chest, his body supporting you to stay upright and heâs hooking his right hand under your knee, spreading you apart.
His chin rests on top of your head, the position allowing him a full view of your body as his cock enters your cunt from behind; itâs more than before, but still not the full length. Your right arm curls up around behind you to hold the back of Fivesâ neck, needily pulling him closer in the moment as you writhe against his body.
âLook at that, Cyar'ika,â You feel the rumble in his chest just as much as you hear it, and it draws your attention down to your joined bodies. He shifts slightly to support your head as you catch glimpses of his cock disappearing into your tight hole in a series of shallow, restrained thrusts. âLook how perfectly we fit together.â
His eyes remain locked on your body, the way your chest heaves and cunt tightens, dripping down his cock as you cum once more, youâre already losing count. From what you were always told by friends when you were in University, losing your virginity was supposed to be a far cry from this. In fact you donât think a single one of your friends had cum when losing theirs, and yet here you were, the room almost spinning from the pleasure Fives had given you.
Fives chuckles at the blissful look on your face as he pulls his hand from your clit, allowing you to relax against his larger frame. âYou are really something else, Cyar'ika.â Heâs slower this time when he rolls you both over once more, cradling the back of your head as he rests you back onto the pillows.Â
He resumes his original position above you, thumb tracing the curve of your cheekbone. His eyes are full of adoration when he looks down at you, and thereâs no trace of the painful stretch from earlier when he slides the full length of his cock inside you this time.
Heâs been so focused on your pleasure that his own has been forgotten, but you see the evidence of it. Heâs coated in a sheen of sweat that makes him appear like one of those glossy paintings in the art galleries on Coruscant. Heâs an artwork, beautifully crafted, every muscle in his body coiled tight in restraint as his hips grind against yours.Â
Itâs your turn to touch him this time, to appreciate every bit of the vulnerability in his face as he presses his forehead against yours and you angle your face upwards to steal a kiss. A tortured moan escapes his lips as his thrusts only increase in speed, heâs clinging onto you like itâs his sole purpose.
âWhere?â His breathing is ragged against your neck.
You make a confused noise in response and he curses something in Mandoâa.
âWhere do you want me to cum, Meshâla, hm?â
Youâre speechless from the pleasure, but thankfully your body answers for you, already locking your legs around his hips to keep you joined together.
âAlright, Cyar'ika, inside it is.â Thereâs a soft rumble of amusement against your throat before his mouth finds yours again. One hand tangles in your hair while the other grips your hip, both of them seeking to drag you closer. Youâre two stars colliding in the void of the universe, no longer orbiting each other, instead becoming one as your light drowns out all darkness around the pair of you.
His name is falling from your lips, cries of it suffocated against him when his tongue slips into your mouth. Fives empties himself inside you, his cock unloading a flood of warmth that already overspills, leaking from your cunt with every slow movement of his hips. He pulls back, an unreadable emotion in his eyes before he buries his face in your hair, distracting himself by stroking at your burning skin. You stay there as you both begin to calm, hearts beating in sync with one another as your bodies remain joined.
Heâs breathing heavily in your ear, an affirmation that you havenât died and ascended to some afterlife when he drags his hips away from yours, leaving you empty as he stands up.Â
âWhere are you going?â You hate yourself for sounding so needy, but with his cum leaking from between your thighs, how could you not. You knew it was common for men to leave straight after sex. Youâve caught some of the boysâ one night stands sneaking out barely ten minutes after they had been brought to the barracks, hair messy and clothes dishevelled.Â
âRelax, sweetheart, Iâm not leaving.â He winks at you before disappearing into the small fresher joined to your room. You hear the water running for what seems like far too long, before he returns with a warm washcloth.
âGotta clean us up before we make a mess on the bed, Iâm not falling asleep in a wet patch.â He settles back between your legs, whispering soothing praises as he cleans your combined fluids. Heâs thorough, making sure thereâs no trace of him left before he presses a kiss to your inner thigh and discards the cloth into your laundry basket.
âCâmere.â He settles down next to you, lifting an arm to allow you to curl up against him and he pulls the bed covers over your waists. âYou did so well, sweetheart.â He presses a kiss to your forehead, basking in a moment neither of you want to end. Itâs sweet, intimate, and perfect.Â
Yet you canât stop yourself from asking the question.
âWhat did you mean when you said you promised you wouldnât do this?âÂ
He pauses, an awkward smile tugging at his lips, youâd never seen him nervous like this, a blush creeping into his cheeks that he canât even blame on the sex. âCaught that did you?â
You nod, biting the inside of your cheek. Your cards were on the table, itâs only fair that his should be too.
âI suppose itâs only fair given that I didnât let you get away with not drinking.â Thereâs a nervous edge to his laugh as he drags you closer to him, like heâs afraid you could disappear at any given moment.
âDo you remember the first time we played Sabbac, you kicked Rexâs ass, and I walked you back to your room?â
You nod slightly. The memory still plagued your thoughts on sleepless nights, it embedded itself in a playlist of embarrassing moments that liked to keep you awake. Yet, it also featured on the list of thoughts that had your legs twisted in the bed sheets as you imagine what would have happened if he did kiss you that night.Â
âI wanted to kiss you, but I couldnât.â He sighs regretfully, admitting the truth he had been fighting against all of the months since that night.
âI think youâd only been here for what - a month?â You feel his laugh against your cheek as it rumbles in his chest. âAnd I couldnât get you out of my damn head, I even made Echo fake being sick once just so I had an excuse to come to the Medbay and talk to you.â You remembered, and now felt slightly bad for insisting you give Echo all those unnecessary virus and anti-nausea shots.
âI needed the excuses to see you, because if I didnât, and I saw you without them, itâd mean something that Iâd been avoiding.â He trails off, trying to find a way to put it into words, it wasnât something he had ever been good at. But he would try, for you he would try.
âThe rest of the boys found out because I called you my girlfriend once when Kix gave me some of the heavy stuff in those green syringes.â He laughs, shaking his head and your mind begins to put the pieces together, thatâs why they teased him so often about it. âThey all promised they wouldnât tell you how I felt though - I wanted to be the one to tell you.â
He drags a hand down his face, his jaw tenses. âAnd then I got jealous when I saw that Sergeant from the 104th talking to you, how he had his hands on you,â He shakes his head, an irritated look playing on his face, both at the other trooper, and his own actions on that night. âThought I blew my shot, and I tried to cover it the only way I knew how.â
Your mind recalls him and the Twiâlek making a beeline for the 79âs freshers, how just a month ago you ended up crying in the alleyway, it was like taking a blaster bolt to your chest. No amount of Bacta could fix the pain that night, but you had certainly tried to heal it with whiskey.
âBut I didnât do it, and itâs not like Echo said, not because I couldn't,â He pulls himself back from you, but continues to hold you, to keep you in the moment with him as he explains what happens, a regretful look on his face. âItâs because she wasnât you, Cyare.â
He presses his forehead to yours, closing his eyes and your fingers trace over the tattoo again, just for a moment, just until he finds the strength inside of him; the strength to override his programmed instincts to be a loyal, unattached soldier and nothing more.
âI promised myself I wouldnâtâŚâ Fives trails off, opening his eyes. He needs to see your reaction, whether itâs good or bad, he needs to know. âFall in love with you.â
You wonder if this is what the Jedi feel with the force around them, but instead of the whole world, you just feel Fives. The warmth of his skin under your fingers, the certainty in his eyes, the utter devotion for you in his voice as he fights against every form of conditioning heâs received.
âFives, you idiotâŚâ His expression is concerned at first until he sees your teary eyes and beaming smile. âI love you too.â
You had loved him since the moment he kissed your knuckles on your first day in the Medbay, every interaction after that only strengthened the bond between you.
Fives smiles down at you, his quiet laughs tickle your skin with warm air as youâre lured back into his embrace. He laughs disbelievingly, shaking his head as he allows his body to press back against yours, a perfect fit.
âWe have so much time to make up for, sweetheart.âÂ
You never want to lose this feeling, his lips marking your body, peppering reminders everywhere that youâre his, you have been since the moment that fateful order flashed up on your datapad. Youâre anchored, attached, tethered to him - whatever word you want to give it, youâre his.

501st boys reacting to Fem!reader being drunk part 1 of ?
I'm sure @moonlightwarriorqueen and @sunshinesdaydream will recognize a lot that's going on here because this was actually Moonlight's idea, and we all kind of built on it so. Here ya go.
warnings: drunk reader. Fluff.
Fives:
Fives is just as drunk as you are.
You both end up at home from separate events, each of you dropped off by a considerably more sober friend.
He's happy to see you though and wants all of the cuddles.
You're watching some shitty night show on the holo and laughing at the worst jokes that Fives has ever heard.
After a few minutes of shifting around, the two of you fall asleep as a properly tangled mess of limbs on the couch.
And that's exactly how it is when you both wake up with a hell of a hangover.
Hardcase:
You had sent a message to Hardcase asking for him to "buy some motherfuckin' limes, baby. Love you bunches!"
So he kind of has his suspicions before he walks through the door.
ââCASE!â you screech, barreling at him, and nearly falling on your face
âCâmon Meshâla.â He laughs, catching you in his arms and kissing your temple. âWhy donât we get you to bed.â
You light up at the prospect of going to bed with him.
However you end up passing out as soon as you lay down, cuddled against his chest.
Rex:
HeâsâŚheâs really not sure what to do with the situation
One minute youâre giggling and draped all over him as he walks in
Then, in a somewhat stern voice he asks whatâs going on and the giggling stops
Your lip quivers and tears gather in your eyes as you shrink away, and he instantly regrets it, realizing that youâre most likely tipsy.
âNo, no Meshâla, Iâm not mad, Iâm sorryâ
Forehead kisses
He makes up for it with a little bit of ice cream and cuddles for the rest of the night

Reunion
Summary: After being sidelined for weeks by an injury in the field you're finally reunited with your favourite snarky sniper and the rest of your squad.
Pairing: Crosshair x fem!reader
Word Count: 7,246
Warnings: NSFW, 18+, Minors be gone, Explicit
Author's Note: I wrote this as second part to my one shot "Sniper" but I think it stands well enough on it's own if you haven't read that one!
*********************
Walking into 79âs was like walking into a wall of sound and heat. It was visceral and made you pause on the threshold, shucking off the jacket you had been wearing to keep the cool night air at bay. You definitely werenât going to need it as a sudden clamminess, the byproduct of all of the bodies in the place, latched onto your skin.
It was more crowded than you could ever remember it being on any of your previous visits. Though considering you had watched the 501st and 212th arrive on Coruscant earlier you really shouldnât have been that surprised at the crowded nature of the bar. A quick look around at all the white, blue, and gold armour in the place confirmed that thought.
You slowly began making your way through the throngs of people. The very first time you had come to the bar you had been surprised by the number of non-clones that seemed to frequent the place, and as time went on that number only seemed to grow. You supposed it was a good place to get cheap drinks and meet handsome men. Kriff, that was the reason you were there after all, except you were looking for 4 very specific handsome men, as usual. A quick sweep of the place didnât reveal any signs of the distinctive squad which likely meant they hadnât arrived yet. Generally, when The Bad Batch arrived somewhere, everyone knew about it. They didnât really blend in, no matter how hard they tried to.
You paused as you finished your lap of the bar, fishing your comm out as you tried your best to move away from a particularly loud group of clones.
âHunter!?â You called into your comm over the chaotic noise surrounding you. You pressed your comm up to your ear and covered the other to try and drown out the thumping music, âWhere are you guys?â
The sergeantâs response was barely audible over the noise of the bar, âETA 10 minutes.â
You groaned, âAny chance you can hustle and cut that time down?â
âNegative,â Hunter responded with a hint of laughter in his voice, âCrosshair is in a mood.â
Well, that certainly wasnât new. What was new was the fact that you were currently alone at the bar. Usually, when you attended you were with the Batch or with your friends but tonight had you flying solo. You sighed knowing that even over the noise Hunter would be able to hear you, âAlright, Iâll try and find a table.â
You disconnected your comm, tucking it back into the form-fitting bodice of your dress. You tugged once on the hem somewhat self-consciously before you started picking your way through the crowd. Your dress wasnât even anything overly fancy, a simple black strapless body con dress that ended just above your knees. In fact, compared to a lot of the outfits currently in the place it was quite tame but it was very different from the scrubs and clogs you usually rolled up to the bar in, and that made you fidget. But as you had been getting ready that night you had thought a special occasion called for a special outfit. And you may or may not have been thinking of a particular silver-haired clone when you had pulled the dress from your closet, but no one needed to know that.
A night out at 79âs with the Bad Batch was rare for several reasons. One: because they were stationed on Kamino and were rarely called to Coruscant and, two: because they often received temporary bans from the bar for inevitably ending up in fights every time they entered the place. But this trip in particular was special because you hadnât seen your squad in ages. A horrible ankle injury on your last mission had left you sidelined for weeks. It had been a long and hard recovery after multiple surgeries. And even after all the rehab youâd had you still had only just managed to squeak out clearance to return to the field. You had missed your squad desperately during that time. They had checked up on you throughout your recovery, some of them more than once. Wrecker because he was kind and Tech because he was convinced you were not receiving proper medical treatment. But it just wasnât the same as being with them nearly 24/7.
Even Crosshair had reached out to you, which you hadnât really expected. He wasnât the most sentimental type so when a message popped up from his frequency you had honestly been surprised. You might be harbouring the galaxy's largest crush on the snarky sniper but you were fairly certain your feelings were not returned. Though it truthfully was hard to tell considering his outwardly expressed emotional range was rather limited. You knew there was a lot more going on inside of him than he let people think but it was easy to miss if you didnât look close enough.
A part of you had hoped that after your ordeal the two of you might have grown a little closer, it had been Crosshair after all who had tended to your injury before fully carrying you down a mountain. But the message you had received from him had been a typical Crosshair quip. Are you still alive?
You had been so high on pain medication that you couldnât remember much about the incident but you did remember Crosshair. You remembered the concern on his face, not the exact words but the reassuring way he had spoken to you, the way he had held you, stayed with you, and comforted you on The Marauder. You knew you had said things to him but for the life of you couldnât remember what. You just hoped it hadnât been anything too embarrassing or anything that might have jeopardized the tenuous friendship you seemed to have with him. You ached every time you thought of how surprisingly gentle his touch had been but it seemed that it had simply been the action of one teammate looking out for the other.
You put aside the thoughts of anything that may or may not be happening between you and Crosshair as you continued your journey around the bar looking for a place to sit. You stopped every once and a while to say hello to familiar clones and non-clones alike but still did your best to stay focused on your mission.
âHey beautiful, do you need a seat?â A large, handsome Devronian male called out to you from a nearby table, halting you in place.
You felt your face flush slightly as he smiled at you, there was no denying he was handsome, and if you hadnât been completely smitten with a certain emotionally constipated sharpshooter you might have even considered his offer but as it was you simply shook your head politely and continued on your search for a table.
Two laps around the place had you abandoning that mission, every booth was full already and you knew you werenât about to convince anyone to give up their spot for you. That was a job for the Batch, they could clear a room like no one else, a skill that often came in handy on your nights out.
âDoc!â A familiar voice called suddenly. Your head whipped around towards the source, smiling brightly at the sight of Wrecker towering over everyone else in the bar, waving enthusiastically at you as he muscled his way through the crowd.
You met him halfway, laughing as he scooped you up into his arms, squeezing the air out of you with one of his signature hugs, âWe missed ya Doc!â
âIâve missed you too,â You replied once he had set you down and you had managed to catch your breath once more. Your heart was brimming with happiness at the sight of him, and the sight of his brothers as they pulled up alongside him.
âGood to see you Doc,â Hunter said with a small smile as he reached out to grasp your forearm gently.
Tech shouldered past his brother, cutting off the words you had been about to speak, âYes, though this reunion is rather premature. Your medical records indicate you are still suffering from the injury to your ankle and would benefit from more time off to fullyâŚâ
âGood to see you too Tech,â You replied drily, cutting off his rambling speech. You really shouldnât have been surprised that he had been accessing your medical records.
Hunter laughed as he clapped a hand on Techâs shoulder, âWhat he means to say is that excited to see you too.â
âThat is not-â Tech protested as he looked between you and Hunter, âNot that I am not excited, I am, Doc is an integral part of our teamâŚâ
Whatever else Tech was saying was lost to the hum of 79âs as the one person you had been waiting to see the most finally stepped into view.
Crosshair looked the same as he always did, arms crossed over his chest, toothpick in his mouth as he shot a dry look at his brothers before his attention focused on you. Your heart kicked up a notch as you looked at him, you hadnât realized just how much you had truly missed him until this moment.
The slow sweep of his gaze traveling over you felt like a physical touch, his eyes lingered over your chest, the curve of your waist, and hips for the barest hint of a moment before moving on. It made you feel molten inside.
He paused once he reached your feet, one eyebrow canting up minutely as he met your eyes once more, the barest hint of a smirk gracing his face.
âSensible,â He snarked, his eyes flicking from your eyes down to your shoes. You had chosen a very comfortable pair of leather and cork sandals and while they were not the most stylish they were comfortable. And after nearly snapping your foot right off comfort was key.
You laughed, shaking your head in mock annoyance, âOh stuff it Cross. I need the arch support!â
âOk, Grandma,â He teased as your eyes tracked the toothpick in his mouth as it swapped from one side to the other. His dark eyes were shining with amusement, âDo we need to have you home to bed by a certain time too?â
âThis is already past my bedtime so you should consider yourself lucky that Iâm even here,â you teased right back, smiling brightly up at him.
He took a step towards you, crowding into your space. He was suddenly so close that you had to tilt your head up to maintain his gaze. You felt like a live wire in his proximity, your pulse raced in your veins. You felt his breath whisper against your skin as he spoke, his eyes sweeping over you once more, âHmm, lucky me indeed.â
His dark eyes were swimming with something that made your heart pound against your ribs. If he kept looking at you like that you honestly felt like you might melt into a puddle of lovestruck goo on the floor.
âAre you two done?â Wrecker asked in his typical booming voice, causing the two of you to jump apart in surprise, âI want a drink!â
âThen go get one,â Crosshair snapped, glaring at his brother. He hadnât moved away from you though, if anything he had only gotten closer as though to shield you from his brother and everyone else in the bar. You felt overheated as his hand gently brushed against the small of your back.
âIâll have a Fuzzy Tauntaun,â You replied, tipping your head back to look at Wrecker. The rest of the Batch took your lead and gave Wrecker their drink orders, much to his disappointment.
âAwe man,â He grumbled, âI hate carrying drinks.â
âI will assist you,â Tech supplied, âThe others can find us a table since Doc was unsuccessful.â
âItâs busy!â You protested as the two brothers headed off towards the bar, calling after them, âI tried my best!â
âYouâre just not intimidating enough,â Crosshair said lowly, still closer than what was likely considered professional for two members of a squad, but you didnât care. Having him this close to you was something right out of one of your fantasies.
You looked back up at him, a smile growing on your face, âYeah, thatâs your job.â
He let out a soft bark of laughter before he finally moved away from you. You frowned at his sudden absence but did your best to mask your disappointment. With a soft sigh, you followed after him and Hunter in their search for a table.
They were able to accomplish what you hadnât in under five minutes, scaring a batch of shinies out of a table near the back wall of the bar. They preferred places where the lights and sounds of the dance floor werenât so overwhelming and the shadows gave Hunter more of the anonymity he preferred and the perfect vantage point of everything going on that Crosshair liked.
âHow have you been feeling, Doc?â Hunter asked as you slid into the booth after him. Crosshair slid in beside you, leaving very little space between the two of you as he settled. He casually leaned against the back of the booth, his arms spreading out along the back of the seat on either side of him, toothpick hanging out of his mouth like usual as his long legs stretched out beneath the table. He wasnât technically touching you but it almost felt as if he was. You did your best to ignore the feeling of his long and lean body beside you as you looked over at Hunter who had settled himself in the curve of the booth leaving the other side open for Tech and Wrecker.
âBetter. I canât say that was the most fun Iâve ever had but it definitely could have been much worse,â at this proximity you didnât miss the way Crosshair tensed slightly at your words but he relaxed once more before you could even so much as sneak a look at him.
âWell, weâre just glad to have you back,â Hunter replied with a nod, âTechâs bedside manner really leaves something to be desired.â
You laughed at that but any further response you might have had was interrupted by Wrecker and Tech returning with your drinks in hand.
âDrinks!â Wrecker exclaimed happily as he set his handful of glasses down on the table, the contents sloshing about before he clambered into the booth.
Drink in hand you relaxed back against the booth as the boys began regaling you with everything you had missed while you had been away. You smiled and laughed as you listened to them, your heart warming in your chest. Being there with them it suddenly felt as if no time had passed at all. A sense of home washed over you as you sat with them. You had truly missed them so much.
Time easily slipped away as you all fell into your usual pattern of reminiscing and people-watching. There was always something entertaining going on at 79s, but thankfully it seemed the batch was intent on avoiding shenanigans tonight. The combination of alcohol and mild pain meds you were still on for your ankle made you feel pleasantly bubbly inside, laughter and smiles slipping from you easier than usual as you enjoyed the time with your squad. Though the presence of Crosshair at your side, leaning over every once and a while to whisper in your ear as he pointed out whatever ridiculous thing he had spotted going on in the bar, his hands casually brushing against you each time, might have also had something to do with the slight giddiness you were feeling.
As the night wore on Hunter had been tempted away from the table by a beautiful Twiâlek and Tech and Wrecker had gone to grab the third round of drinks for the night leaving just you and Crosshair left in the booth.
Suddenly feeling bold, likely the result of the two drinks you had had, you looked up at Crosshair, leaning into him just ever so slightly. Your voice came out huskier than you had intended when you spoke, âDid you miss me, Cross?â
He tilted his head to look down at you, one eyebrow raised. The same something as before was swimming in his eyes again making your pulse race. He didnât say anything though, only made a soft humming noise before picking up his drink and taking another sip.
You frowned, a sudden wave of embarrassment rushing through you at your brazen question. He probably thought you were an idiot for asking such a thing. The relaxed feeling you had been feeling before was completely gone, your body tensing as you berated yourself internally.
Thankfully, Tech and Wrecker returning to the table gave you something else to focus on. You grabbed the drink placed in front of you, downing nearly half of it in a single go in an attempt to chase away the feelings that had suddenly rushed up inside of you. You could feel Crosshairâs eyes on the side of your face, but you steadily ignored his gaze, focusing on the story Tech was currently telling instead.
Crosshair suddenly leaned towards you, his mouth a breath away from your ear, âWhatâs-â he started but was cut off by the sound of a new voice at their table.
âHey there handsome,â All four heads at the table shot up to look towards the source of a voice. A beautiful young Pantoran woman had appeared at Crosshairâs side, her gaze focused entirely on him, âCan I buy you a drink?â
You were no stranger to witnessing this type of thing, the boys were handsome and they garnered a lot of attention everywhere they went. It wasnât even the first time you had watched Crosshair pick up company for the evening but suddenly the thought of being present for this was unbearable.
âExcuse me,â You said shortly, moving before the words were even fully out of your mouth. You heard Crosshair hiss as you accidentally kneed him as you climbed over him to escape the booth. You looked at the woman who was suddenly looking at you with interest, âYou can have my spot if you want.â
And with that you fled from the table, beelining towards the opposite side of the bar where the washrooms were. Thankfully one of the few single occupant washrooms was open and you rushed into it, leaning back against the door with a sigh as you locked the door. You took a deep breath, trying to calm your racing heart. You werenât sure why you were so upset. Well no, that wasnât entirely true. You were upset because it seemed that what you had thought was just a silly crush on Crosshair had become something much deeper than that and having to potentially watch him leave with someone else was literally cleaving your heart in two. You shook your head as your eyes stung, trying to get rid of the emotions bubbling inside you with the motion.
âGet it together,â You whispered to yourself as you pushed yourself away from the door. The washroom was tiny, nothing more than a small box with a toilet and sink but you were thankful for the privacy as you turned on the sink, splashing your face with cool water. You looked at yourself in the mirror for a moment trying your best to school your features into something more neutral before you left the confines of the washroom.
A sudden knock on the door startled you and you turned off the sink, âJust a minute!â You called as you grabbed a towel to dry off your hands.
You gave your head one more shake and took another deep breath before you pulled open the door only to be met with a completely unexpected sight.
âCrosshair what-?â You started but werenât able to get anything else out before he crowded into you, pushing you back into the bathroom and closing the door quickly behind him. The sound of the door locking behind him echoed around the room.
âWhat are you doing?â Your voice came out as a squeak as you looked up at Crosshair with wide eyes.
âYouâre upset.â He stated matter of factly, his gaze was dark as it racked over you. You had always felt that Crosshair had a way of just knowing what you were thinking and feeling and this time was no different. Sometimes it annoyed you how observant he was.
You shook your head, not willing to admit the truth, âNo Iâm not. I think Iâve just had too much to drink. Pain meds and alcohol donât really mixâŚâ
âStop lying,â Crosshair hissed, pressing in even closer to you. You hadnât even realized you had backed up until your back hit the sink counter behind you. He had you cornered, with nowhere else to go. You knew that Crosshair would never hurt you, if you told him to back off he would in an instant. But you realized with a flush it wasnât fear that was suddenly pooling in your stomach, it was desire.
âIâm notâŚâ You replied but it sounded weak even to your own ears.
Crosshairâs sharp eyes narrowed but he didnât say anything. His eyes dipped down towards your lips momentarily before they met your gaze once more. That same look of something that had been pooling in his eyes all evening was back.
His voice ghosted across your skin, sending a shiver through your body as he spoke, âYou donât remember, do you?â
âRemember what?â You asked the heat pooling in you was growing by the moment. He was so close and you wanted nothing more than to pull him closer. The intensity of his gaze was almost unbearable.
âWhat you said to me that day, what I said to you,â His voice was barely above a rumble in his chest. Suddenly it clicked, he was talking about the day you had been injured.
âCross, I donâtâŚâ You started, shaking your head as your pulse raced beneath your skin. You had tried desperately to remember that day but the pain meds had made everything fuzzy.
âHm,â He mused as he closed the final gap between you, the entire long length of him pressed up against your front. Your body felt as if was on fire at his proximity. He moved his hands to rest on the counter on either side of you, fully caging you in as his head dipped down towards your face. His voice was a purr as he spoke once more, âI can remind you if you want.â
You couldnât do anything but nod, you didnât know where this was going but you desperately wanted to find out.
âYou told me that I was your favourite,â He whispered as his hand came up to cup your jaw. A smirk bloomed on his face that made your heart pound even faster, âYou told me I was sexy."
You felt your face flush slightly in embarrassment and a laugh escaped you before you could stop it, âHow cringe of me,â You said before you bit your lip shyly, looking up at him from beneath your lashes, âIt is true though.â
Crosshair chuckled lowly as his hand slid down your neck, his thumb settled against your pulse point making you gasp softly at the touch. The two of you simply stared at one another for a long moment. You couldnât quite believe that after months of longing, he was finally touching you. All of the nights you had spent imagining this very scenario didnât even come close to the real thing.
Emboldened by his touch you tipped your head up, your noses nearly brushing together as you looked at him, âAnd what did you say to me?â You asked softly.
He moved impossibly closer, his knee parting your legs as his other hand moved to trace the curves of your body. Desire was throbbing through you with each touch.
âI said I would always stay with you,â He rumbled, âI meant it.â
You felt as though you were going to burst, every nerve ending lit up, oversensitive with every touch of his hand. You were completely lost beneath the weight of his words and his gaze. You had never felt a desire like this before.
His head tipped forward once more, his cheek grazing against your own, âLet me show you just how much I missed you, Sunshine,â He whispered, nipping lightly at your earlobe and sending shudders down your spine.
âPlease, Cross,â You managed to squeak out. Your voice sounded desperate and needy but you found that you couldnât care less as he pulled back slightly and his hand returned to your face once more. He ran his thumb over your bottom lip, his gaze was liquid fire as it traced the lines of your face.
He was kissing you then and everything else around you faded away into nothing. There was only him. There had always only been him.
You were unable to stifle the soft groan that escaped you as his lips captured your own. He gently nipped at your lower lip before his tongue soothed over the spot. He only stayed there for a moment before his tongue was pressing through, tangling with your own. It was needy and demanding and everything you had ever dreamed of.
You separated with a breathy moan, your eyes still closed, head tipped back as he moved his mouth down the line of your neck. Kissing, licking, and nipping a trail down to your collarbone. Fire was racing up your spine as he ravished your skin. It was all at once too much and not enough.
âCrosshair,â You murmured as your hand reached up to his head, your fingers scraping through his short silver hair. You didnât miss the way he shuddered at your touch. It filled you with a sense of power, to know he was just as affected by your touch as you were by his.
He placed one final kiss on your neck, sucking on your skin in a way you knew would leave a mark before he was moving again. His hands slid to the back of your thighs, lifting you up onto the counter behind you with ease. You let out the tiniest squeak at the movement before he was settling in between your thighs. You could feel the way his codpiece was bulging against your core and you were desperate for more friction. You wrapped your legs around behind him, pulling him closer until there wasnât any space left between you.
âThis dress is dangerous, mesh'la,â He whispered as his hands once again trailed down your curves, his touch leaving a trail of fire in its wake, âDidn't you see how everyone was watching you? Most beautiful girl in the room.â
You moaned as he palmed your breast overtop of your dress, your breath coming out in ragged pants as you met his gaze, "I wore it just for you.â
He made a deep sound in his throat before he kissed you again, more urgent than before as your own hands bit into his shoulders. He didnât stay there long though, your eyes widened as you watched him kneel on the ground in front of you. His touch was surprisingly gentle as he hooked his hands behind your knees, pulling you right to the edge of the counter.
âCrosshair,â You whispered again as his hands caressed your thighs, slowly making their way up and under the edge of your dress. He looked up at you, a smirk on his face, his dark eyes burning as his long, delicate fingers hooked around the edges of your panties. In one smooth motion, he had them off of you and in his hands. The look on his face was completely wicked as he stuffed them into one of the pouches on his utility belt.
âCross,â You protested with a huff, that was one of your best pairs.
âWhat?â He asked before he bent his head to nip at the soft skin on the inside of your thigh, effectively rendering you speechless. His breath sent another shiver through you as he spoke again, âI want a souvenir.â
Any further reply you might have had was cut off as he reached up to hook one of your legs over his shoulder. The soft flesh of your thigh brushed against the sniper mount on his shoulder bell and you knew you were never going to be able to look at that thing the same way again. He kissed his way up the inside of your thigh, his mouth sending sparks up your spine. You were absolutely aching for him and you flushed slightly at the thought of him being able to see just how wet and ready you were for him.
You saw stars as his mouth pressed suddenly to your cunt, vision blackening around the edges as you were nearly overcome by the wave of sensation rushing through you. Tongue stroking your folds slowly, tortuously. You gasped, your white knuckle hold on the counter increasing as his tongue circled your clit, his hands biting into the flesh of your thighs as he pressed his face into you even further. You let out a soft cry, your head tipped back, eyes squeezed shut as his tongue breached your entrance. He groaned against you, his hold on you tightening even more, the sensation of it sending waves of pleasure through you. You were hurtling towards a release, all of the tension coiling in your belly as your chest heaved.
You hadnât even noticed that one of his hands had moved, so caught up as you were in the feelings of his mouth on you, that you let out a soft yelp as two of his fingers pressed suddenly against your core. He moved his mouth back to your clit, tongue circling it as he pushed his fingers inside of you. You let out a string of curses, your walls clenching around his fingers as they crooked and found that spot inside of you that had you turning into a whimpering mess as he massaged it. You were so achingly close, months of longing suddenly coming to a boiling point as your body completely melted beneath his touch.
âCross..â You whimpered as his tongue pressed hard against your clit, his fingers finding a smooth rhythm.
He pulled away just slightly, his thumb replacing his tongue on your clit as he continued to fuck you with his fingers.
You felt his voice against your skin more than you actually heard it, âBe a good girl. Cum for me.â
Thatâs all it took for the band inside of you to finally snap. You came with a shout, thighs squeezing around his head as you rode out the waves of your pleasure. It was better than anything you could have ever imagined. Your orgasm burned through you and every coherent thought left you as you drowned in the sensations coursing through your body.
You didn't even have a moment to catch your breath before he was moving again, the sound of armour clattering to the floor filled the room. You managed to focus your gaze on him once more, still flushed and overheated but your desire raged through you once more at the sight of him. He had removed his codpiece and you could see the outline of him straining against his blacks. You reached out for him, pulling him towards you again in a single motion with one hand while the other found the waistband of his blacks. He was hot and heavy against your hand as you finally freed him, his erection flushing prettily against his stomach as you stroked him once, twice. He let out a low growl in his throat, his entire body was taut, as though he was about to explode at any moment. Even as wound up as he was he still moved with the same lethal grace he always did, a snake waiting to strike. Before you could even comprehend it he had closed the distance between you. Your legs moved to wrap around him instinctually and you let out a soft cry at the feeling of the head of his cock pushing against your entrance.
âStars, Cross,â You groaned as your hands clutched at his shoulders, your legs pinning his hips to you as he rubbed his erection through your soaking folds, âI want you so badly.â
He didn't require any further encouragement, the look on his face was completely ravenous as he entered you with a smooth thrust, stretching you and filling you so completely in a way you never had been before. You were completely unmoored, a whimpering mess in his arms as he gave you a moment to adjust to his size. Your gaze was hazy with desire as you met his own. He was all angles and sharp lines, brow furrowed in concentration but there was something soft lurking in his dark eyes that did more to you than anything else that night had. He kissed you then, swallowing your moan as he began to slowly thrust in and out of you.
You thought for a moment that you must have died, that it was all just a dream as his mouth moved down to your neck once more sucking on your skin as his hips picked up the pace. You could feel the bite of his armour against your skin with each thrust but if anything it only made you burn more. The pleasure was building inside you rapidly once more as he pulled himself almost all the way out before thrusting back into you roughly, the tip of his cock hitting you in that perfect place each time.
âOh gods, Crosshair,â You panted as his pace increased, his hips rubbing against your clit deliciously with each thrust. His hand came up to tangle in your hair, pulling your head back just slightly to give him better access to your throat as he sucked against your skin. You knew you were going to be covered in marks later but you couldn't find it in yourself to care as the heat in your body continued to build.
Suddenly he let go of you completely, pulling all the way out of you. You whimpered at the loss but before you could even comprehend what was happening he reached out and pulled you down from the counter, spinning you around to face the sink, his back pressed up against you. One hand was on your hip, holding you close, while the other slunk up between your breasts to rest at the base of your throat. In one smooth motion, he thrust back into you causing you to cry out at the feeling of being filled once more.
It was almost too much, at this angle, he was filling you so completely, hitting that spot deep inside you with each thrust. Your head tipped forward as you were overcome with the feeling of him, just trying to focus on meeting his thrusts as you rapidly approached another high. The hand that was on your hip was suddenly moving, pulling the hem of your dress up even higher.
âLook at me,â He hissed in your ear and you were unable to ignore his order. Your gaze met his in the mirror over the sink and if you had thought it was too much before it was nothing compared to this. The sight of the two of you flushed, joined together as you both chased your highs. It was beautiful and almost enough to have you tipping over the edge once more as he continued to pound mercilessly into you.
âLook how good you take my cock,â Crosshair grunted, his eyes trailing down in the mirror. You followed his gaze to where you could see where the two of you were joined, could see the way he was thrusting in and out of you, filling you so completely, âSuch a pretty little thing. Like you were made just for me.â
âCross-â You groaned, you were so close it was agony.
âYouâre going to watch yourself cum on my cock,â He whispered, nipping at where your neck and shoulder met as his hand moved to your clit. You moaned, your eyes once again following his directions, unable to disobey a direct order. You couldn't look away from where he was pistoning in and out of you. It was lewd and so sexy that you feel like you might combust from the sight alone.
âWho else can make you feel like this? Make you feel as good as I can?â He hissed, mouth against your ear as he maintained his brutal pace.
âNo one Cross,â You cried. Your eyes were burning, overwhelmed by the emotions and sensations rushing through you, "Only you.â
âThatâs right. Youâre mine,â He hummed, breath ghosting against the shell of your ear before he nipped your neck once more, âOnly mine.â
His thumb circled your clit once, twice and thatâs all it took for you to shatter completely for a second time. Crying out his name as you came on his cock. Your head tipped back against him, eyes finally shutting as you got swept away by the ecstasy of your release. You felt weightless, the sensation of your high overwhelming you completely as you sagged against him. His strong hands kept you upright, biting into your flesh enough for you to know for certain that there would be marks left in their place tomorrow.
He groaned as you squeezed around him, walls clenching and pulling him deeper into you with each wave of pleasure. His thrusts became erratic before he came with a grunt, holding himself as deep as he could as he spilled himself inside of you.
You were both motionless for a long moment, breathing ragged as you came down from your highs. You had literally never felt like this before in your life. You couldn't help but smile softly at the idea that he had ruined you forever, in the best way possible.
Once your breathing had finally evened out somewhat his hands wrapped around your waist and he pulled you close again, pressing gentle kisses along your neck and shoulders, his tongue soothing your flushed skin. He pressed a final kiss to your cheek before he pulled away, slipping out of you.
You turned, bracing yourself against the counter, flushing slightly at the feeling of his release running down the inside of your thighs. You moaned softly, tipping your head back to shake your sweaty hair out of your eyes. Your legs felt like jelly and you had no idea how you were going to make it out of the bathroom without wobbling.
You lifted a hand to run through your hair, trying to tame it into something that looked less like youâd just been ravaged, as you turned your attention back to the man in front of you. You watched as he quickly wiped himself off before tucking himself back into his blacks. His gaze met yours and the smirk on his face had fire licking in your belly once more. You chuckled softly, shaking your head as he stooped to grab his discarded codpiece, snapping it back into place with a practiced motion.
You were distracted by the thought of just how truly kriffed you were, both literally and figuratively, and missed him moving about the room. Suddenly he was kneeling before you, cloth in hand as he diligently cleaned between your thighs. His touch was achingly gentle and when he looked up at you from his position on the floor there was something completely new swimming in the depths of his eyes. A look so soft that it had your heart pounding in your chest for a completely different reason. Kriffed.
You couldnât take your eyes off of him as he stood, disposing of the towel before he tugged your dress back into place, delicate hands smoothing out the wrinkles as best as possible. His touch left goosebumps on your skin and you couldn't stop the shudder that ran through you.
His eyes were still soft as he raised a brow at you, âYou good?â He asked as his hand slid around to the small of your back, pulling you into him once more.
âMhmmâ You nodded, âGreat. Better than great actually.â
He smirked, amusement lighting up his eyes as he ducked his head to capture your lips with his own once more. Thankfully, he pulled away before you could get yourself too worked up again. You grumbled softly at the loss of contact but he didnât go far, arms still caging you in as he looked down at you.
âI think itâs about time we get you home,â He purred, his eyes molten, âConsidering it is past your bedtime after all.â
You laughed, pinching him in a gap between his armour teasingly before you sobered and looked up at him, âAlright, but I might need some help taking this dress off.â
His grin was almost feral before he leaned down to kiss you once more. His voice sent shivers down your spine as he pulled away, âI think I can manage that.â
He didn't give you another moment to respond before he laced his fingers in your own and started to pull you towards the door but you planted your feet, forcing him to turn back around to look at you.
His eyebrow was raised expectantly, eyes narrowed slightly as you spoke. Your heart was racing and you felt yourself flushing but you couldnât let the moment pass without saying something.
âCrosshair, I really care about you. Like a lot,â it came out more awkward than you intended and you felt yourself flush further, âJust wanted to tell you when Iâm not all doped up. Wanted to make sure you knew that you really are my favourite...â
He smirked but his eyes were swimming with emotion, his voice was rougher than youâd ever heard it before, âGood. Because youâre stuck with me now.â
You laughed, brimming with happiness at his words. You were beginning to think you still might end up as that lovestruck pile of goo on the floor before the night was over, âI think I can live with that.â
He chuckled softly before he pulled you out the door, back into the loud chaos of 79âs. Neither of you bothered saying goodnight to the rest of the boys on your way out. A part of you had a feeling they knew where you'd gone off to anyway. Crosshair tossed a smirk back at you over his shoulder as he pulled you through the crowd, the look in his eyes though was so soft and warm that it had your heart pounding in your chest. Youâd been privy to this part of him a few times before but nothing quite like this and you were suddenly smiling at the thrill that ran up your spine at the thought. This was only just the beginning. You couldnât help but think, as the cool night air brushed against your skin as you exited the bar, that it had been a perfect reunion indeed.

As a Jedi Master youâre always being run hither and yon throughout the galaxy. Your most recent assignment has you on Naboo as head of security for a symposium of senators. Your squad of support troopers is set to arrive later today.Â
You have to admit, youâre a little nervous. The squad thatâs being sent is Clone Force 99. Youâve worked with them before and get along with them well enough, but the thought of their newest member is whatâs making your stomach churn.
Echo. You knew him before the mission that killed him, before he was even recruited for the 501st. He was your closest friend and confidant. After his valiant efforts on the Rishi Moon Outpost he was stationed on your Venator. You quickly recognized his skill for strategy and recruited him as your personal tactics advisor along with his twin, Fives. No matter how bad of a day you had, dinner and a walk with Echo always lifted your spirits.Â
Then Rex had to steal your Domino twins from you. You were so proud of them and you knew Anakin was gaining two of the best soldiers youâd ever seen, but you were still sad to see them go. You still kept in touch with Echo, you could always count on at least one holocall a week. Youâd just fill each other in on the happenings in your lives, brainstorm war issues that were giving you trouble, talk about everything and nothing all at once. You were able to see him a couple times when you were sent to work with the 501st and it was always like no time had passed.
Then the Citadel happened.
You didnât let anyone see you cry for him. A Jedi mourning a single clone? It felt like not many would understand, and the war was still raging. You had to move on with your head held high, and yet you were numb for months.
Fives kept in touch with you, you offered your condolences, but held it together for him. The two of you would share a holocall every month or so to catch up and reminisce in memories of Echo but it still wasnât quite the same. Even though your best friend was gone, you found yourself talking to him under your breath about your day, just like those weekly holocalls.Â
Eventually the pain faded to just a dull ache in the background. Then Fives went rogue and was âdecommissionedâ as the report put it. The last tie you had to Echo was gone. The Chancellor held that report under lock and key, so once again you mourned one of your Domino Twins with little comfort.Â
The numbness took over again, but this time it didnât linger for quite as long. Just when you got to the point that memories of Echo and Fives brought happy tears, you got the comm from Anakin. They found Echo.Â
The guilt nearly swallowed you whole. Echo had been alive this whole time and you didnât know. They mounted a rescue for him and you werenât told. His recovery happened and you werenât there. Today would be the first time youâd seen or spoken to him since your last holocall before the Citadel. You couldnât help but wonder, âWhy hadnât he reached out to you before now?âÂ
You had kept to yourself partly because you were being run into the ground by the Council, but also because you wanted to give him space. You werenât sure he even remembered you. Would he still be your Echo?Â
Rex knew what Echo had meant to you and commed directly after they rescued him to fill you in more than Anakin had. He didnât reveal much more, but he had let you know that the Techno Union did things to him. That he looked different, that he was found with a lot of integrated mechanics. That was months ago, and you hadnât heard much since.Â
So here you were, anxiously wringing your hands awaiting the arrival of Squad 99.Â
You recognize their ship as they land, thankfully they scrubbed their nose art off before this mission. Probably with some convincing from Anakin. The ramp lowers and Sergeant Hunter disembarks to meet you.Â
You quickly run him through the plan for today. The symposium isnât until tomorrow, but it is up to you to survey the venue to note âproblem areasâ and make sure nothing is compromised.Â
Hunter suggests that Wrecker and Crosshair pair off and that heâll go with Tech. He gives you an all-knowing look when you do the math of whoâs left. Youâd mentioned Echo in passing before to Hunter while on missions. When he commed to debrief about this mission, he asked how you were and suddenly you were spilling nearly everything about your history with Echo. Hunter had assured you his squad was taking care of him and that your worries would stay between the two of you.Â
âYou two need the time to talk.â Hunter muttered, squeezing your shoulder and calling to his brothers.Â
Youâre left waiting at the bottom of the ramp for a few more minutes before a figure appears in the Marauderâs door. Your stomach drops at the sight of him.Â
He looks so different. New metal legs shine in the sunlight, and a scomp link is where his right hand used to be. âNo more double wielding,â you think to yourself. His new armor is red and black, Batch colors. Your heart does warm at the sight of the kama heâs wearing, at least he hasnât forgotten that heâs still an ARC. His new helmet is tucked under his scomp arm.Â
His eyes brighten when he sees you. Mechanical studs for Maker knows what dot his scalp, but even though his skin is much paler and his face is sunken in, those are still the same amber eyes that youâve sought comfort in so many times.Â
Your voice is shaky at first. âE-Echo?â
Some color spreads across the bridge of his nose as he rubs the back of his neck. âYeah, d-different I know. You look good though.âÂ
You smile at his compliment and lead the way to the side of the venue you two will be surveying. At first you walk in silence, neither of you really sure how to bridge the gap between you. You want to ask him how heâs been, how his recovery went, explain how sorry you are for not being there, but the words keep getting stuck in your throat.Â
You open your mouth to say something, but Echo beats you to it. âDo you still like roast bantha?âÂ
âY-yeah?â You respond, a little taken aback by his odd question. âWhy?â
He shrugs âBecause I had some the other week and it was the first real meal I enjoyed since returning.âÂ
âIt was my favorite, still is.âÂ
âI remember.â Echo gives you a sideways glance. âYou can ask, I know you want to.âÂ
Of course he knew what you were thinking. You go back to wringing your hands. âI- I want to apologize first. I didnât even know a rescue was happening, I should have been there but no one told me. I was off the grid on Taris.âÂ
Once the words start, they donât stop. âAnakin commed me after they got you out but they didnât let me see you on Coruscant. Then you were reassigned and I didnât know where you were. Iâm sorry I should have reached out, but I wanted to give you space. I didnât know if you remembered me...âÂ
Echo stops you by resting his hand on your shoulder.. âItâs okay, really. You donât need to apologize. I had a whole army of people fussing over me. I should have reached out, that was on me. I just didnât know how youâd feel about all⌠thisâ He says gesturing to himself.Â
âOh Echo, no. I donât care about that. I was just so worried, I just wanted you to be okay.â You say hurriedly. âAre you- are you okay?â
He nods, turning to start walking again. âI am, thereâs been some adjustments but Iâm getting used to it.âÂ
You tilt your head curiously, âTell me about it. If you feel comfortable.âÂ
âOf course I feel comf-'' His words are cut off when he stumbles on the stone path beneath your feet. âWell thatâs one thing. These damn legs. The Techno Union gave me some rudimentary ones, but these are much more complex. Theyâre heavier and made me a couple inches taller too. I probably looked like a newborn fathier for the first couple weeks.âÂ
You stifle a snicker and Echo notices.Â
âYou can laugh, really.â He reassures you. âI missed that laugh of yours. You always shared my sense of humor.âÂ
âDid they hurt?â You wonder aloud, glancing down at his metal thigh.Â
He shrugs, âNah, not really. Theyâre wired up so that I can feel some sensation of moving but I canât really register touch, itâs more of a dull pressure. Sometimes Iâll get some weird feelings, like an ache or an itch in my leg thatâs not there, Tech called it âphantom pains.â The most annoying thing is that I always feel warm now from the mechanics in me.âÂ
Echo can see the curiosity glinting in your eyes. âHere.â He says, halting and propping his foot up on a nearby garden wall. He moves his kama out of the way before he gently takes your hand and presses your hand to his left thigh.Â
You can feel the warmth under your palm. Itâs not quite like the warmth from human skin, but itâs not like the warmth from a databank either. It reminds you of the warmth of your lightsaber, you can still feel Echoâs life force pulsing under your touch.Â
âIncredible.â You mutter as he readjusts himself. âI remember you were always freezing before.âÂ
He chuckles. âYeah, I suppose I was. I would always steal Fivesâ blankets.â
Your heart pangs at the mention of Echoâs twin. âRex told you, I assume?âÂ
âYeah. He did.â Echo sighs. âSaid something in his and Tupâs heads malfunctioned but couldnât tell me much else. We had a little memorial for them.âÂ
âThatâs nice. I wasnât there when it happened, he and I talked about you a lot.âÂ
âI know he definitely would have had a few jokes about this.â Echo says waving his scomp link, trying to lighten the mood.Â
Your brow scrunches. âIâm surprised Anakin didnât offer to make you a hand like his.âÂ
âHe did, I just thought Iâd keep the scomp. Means we donât have to lug around an astromec to get into places. I donât mind it, itâs all right.â A sly smirk spreads across his face.
You groan at him. âWas that a kriffing joke?â You say, fully laughing at him. âYouâre terrible. Fives would be proud.â
Echoâs laughter joins yours. âYeah, he wouldâve nearly pissed himself watching me figure this thing out. One morning I nearly took my eye out trying to rub it with this.âÂ
You cover your mouth and groan at the thought as Echo continues.Â
âAnother time I was enjoying some morning caf and leaned on the counter, only I forgot I didnât have a hand anymore and the scomp slipped. Fell flat on my face and I smelled like caf all day.âÂ
Again, your laughter starts back up at the mental image. âThe Batch, are they treating you well?â You ask between giggles.Â
âThey are.â Echo says with a nod. âTheyâve really helped me through some of the rough parts.âÂ
âOh?â
âWell of course Tech has helped me figure out the kinks of my new mechanics.â Echo shrugs. âBut he also really helped me with speech. For a while my mind was a bit jumbled. My thoughts were broken with old battle strategies, the data Techno Union kept pulling. I would lose the word for something right before I said it, use the wrong word, misunderstand what someone was saying. Tech helped me realize that my brain had literally been damaged, rewired, and that it would take time to come back from that. When I didnât have the words, he had them for me. Others may find his tendency to finish peoplesâ sentences a bit annoying, but I was thankful for it. Saved me a lot of frustration when I was trying to communicate early on.âÂ
âIâve always found that trait of his endearing.â You reply, not wanting to stunt Echoâs sharing.Â
âAnd Hunterâs great too. Itâs been kind of nice having someone else in charge. He talked to me about it, acknowledged that I had more wartime experience than him, but he knew I needed to take a step back and heal, not be the one with all the answers.â
You smile at his mention of the Sergeantâs intentions. âHunter has a big heart, he sees a lot more than youâd think.âÂ
Echo nods. âHe helped me with other things too. I sometimes get these electronic migraines. Tech thinks they happen when the mechanics in my head overstimulate the electrical activity of my brain but he couldnât really figure out a solution. Hunter did though, since he gets migraines himself. Showed me his whole care routine to shorten them and ride it out.âÂ
Memories of the time you witnessed one of Hunterâs migraines make you wince. âI hope theyâre not too bad.âÂ
âNo, not with their help. The hardest thing to figure out was how to gain weight again.âÂ
âReally? I wouldnât have guessed, I mean you lookâŚâ Your words are lost as you gesture to him.Â
He gives you a sly look, but continues without comment. âYeah. Food just wasnât the same for me when I woke up. I donât really understand the science behind it, but I wasnât fed in Purkoll. They must have been giving me something but when I woke up I was emaciated and, I just didnât have an interest in food. The appetite came back pretty quick as I started being more active, but I just couldnât find stuff that made me want to eat. I mentioned the Bantha roast, that was Wreckerâs idea since he remembered you making it one time on mission. Heâs been a big help in finding things I like. He also has this way of packing an insane amount of calories and protein into a meal. He was also pretty big in helping me regain muscle mass. Surprisingly, or maybe not, he was always the one to check in on me, make sure I wasnât being pushed too hard.âÂ
You smile. âWrecker is a sweetheart, and he does have a way with food. He can make those GAR ration packs taste better than anyone. He has a way with people too.âÂ
âHis workouts are intense, though.â Echo jokes.
âTell me about it.â You shake your head. âI hope Crosshair hasnât given you too much trouble. He can be intense in a different way.âÂ
âCrosshair?â Echo repeats. âNah, heâs okay. He gives me shit like he does everyone else. He was a nice change from all the doctors fussing over me. He didnât look at me like I was fragile. He didnât treat me like I was going to break at any second, even when heâŚâ Echo trails off, but you can sense his thoughts.Â
âYou have nightmares donât you.â You state gently.Â
Echo nods. âOne of the first nights I was with them I had this dream. I was back there in that city being taken apart and pieced back together again; having my mind played with. Iâm pretty sure I was talking in my sleep, yelling more likely. When I woke up I saw Crosshair was on watch, but he had his back turned to me. He didnât say anything the next day and neither did the others. I donât know if they heard me because theyâre all heavy sleepers, or if Crosshair told them not to say anything. I donât know if heâs been doing it on purpose, but he always takes watch when itâs my turn to sleep. Whenever Iâm napping too, heâs always there with his back to me. It helped with the dreams, knowing I had someone watching for me.âÂ
âEchoâŚâ You mutter, unsure of what to say. You want to comfort him, but what could you do for him that his squad hasnât already? Heâs healing without you.
A breeze picks up before you find the words causing soft pink flowers to start raining down on the two of you from the trees above. You move to brush them out of your hair, but Echoâs hand wraps around your wrist to stop you.Â
âNo, leave them.â He says, âTheyâre pretty.âÂ
You bow your face to try to hide the warmth rising in your cheeks as Echo guides you to a nearby bench.Â
âSit with me for a moment?â His voice is timid.
âOf course.â
âYou helped me too, you know.â Echo says, tracing his fingers over your palm.Â
âHow could I possibly have helped you?â You sigh, trying and failing at hiding the sadness in your voice. âI wasnât there, havenât been there.â
âBut you have.â Echo insists. âItâs hard to explain, but in Purkoll I had these moments where it was almost like I was myself again. It was probably in the lulls when the Separatists werenât accessing my memories. In those moments I talked to you, like we used to. I talked about my days, reminisced about the good times, funny memories. I think itâs what kept me from losing myself entirely. And when I woke up⌠I sort of kept doing it. The Batch is great, but they didnât know me before, you know? Theyâve never known me as anything other than this.âÂ
Echo gestures to himself with his scomp before continuing. âAnd Rex, he did, but staying with him felt like it wouldâve been a step backwards. I needed to move on, but I didnât want to forget who I was, you knew me better than anyone, even Fives. There were days when it felt like I would never recover, never be the elite soldier I once was. Those were the days I talked to you the most, imagined what youâd say back to me. In my mind youâd let me have my pity party, then tell me to get my ass in gear. I shouldâve just commed you for the real conversation, but I was a coward. I was afraid that youâd look at me like I was broken, so I kept you in my head. I hope thatâs not weirdâŚâ He trails off.
You donât even know what to say as your chest fills with awe. All this time, heâs been talking to you?Â
Echo gently tucks a loose strand of hair behind your ear. âThese flowers suit you.â He says gently, filling the silence.
You glance up at the tree above you and hum to yourself. âTheyâre cherry blossoms. Fitting.âÂ
âHow so?â
âTheyâre a symbol of rebirth and new beginnings.â You explain. âEcho, itâs not weird or cowardly that youâve been talking to me. Iâve been doing the same actually. I thought about comming you every day after Anakin and Rex told me they found you, but I was so terrified you wouldnât remember me.â
He gently grasps your chin with his thumb and forefinger to raise your eyes to his. âI could never forget you. You were the tether that kept me, me. I wish we hadnât wasted time getting back in touch.âÂ
A light laugh passes through your nose. âAnother lesson of the cherry blossoms. They bloom for only few days and remind us that life is fleeting.âÂ
âIf life is fleeting, then I guess I should go ahead and do this.â Echo mutters before leaning towards you.Â
Heâs timid at first when your lips connect, but grows more bold as the seconds melt into minutes. You can feel his scomp arm pull you closer as his hand tousles in your hair. Thereâs a tiny voice in the back of your head chastising you, âJedi cannot have selfish attachments.â You immediately push it aside.Â
This, the love you have for Echo is no selfish attachment. You already lost him once, you mourned him and never turned from the light. He was your light. Your confidence builds as his tongue begins to explore yours, the garden around you fading away. The feelings you both harbored for each other all these years are finally confessed without a single word being spoken. Itâs just you.
You donât even know how long you two have been tangled in each other when you can hear a faint beeping coming from Echoâs bracer. He must have heard it too because he breaks away from you with a grumble before answering the comm.
âEcho, go.â He answers.
âEcho, itâs Hunter. Weâve all finished our surveillance and are back at the Marauder, whatâs your status?âÂ
Echoâs eyes flit to you with your hand pressed over your mouth trying to keep from laughing. âWe-uhhh got dis- duh⌠sah-sidetracked. Something suspicious we had to investigate.âÂ
From the tiny snicker Hunter lets slip you can tell he doesnât buy it. âAlright, weâll keep your rations warm. Will the General be joining us?â
âSure Hunter, Iâd love to.â You call before Echo can answer.Â
âSounds like a plan. Donât take too long or youâll kiss- I mean miss dinner.âÂ
âWomp-rat bastard.â Echo grumbles when Hunter ends the call.Â
You nearly keel over with laughter at Hunterâs comment and the expression Echo has on his face.Â
âIâm glad you find this amusing. How in Sithâs Hells did he even know?â He says, obviously trying to keep a straight face.
âOh please.â You say, grinning. âHunterâs literally enhanced to sense everything, he got us good. Come on,â you say, standing up. âLetâs finish our round so we can go eat.âÂ
Echo stands shaking his head, but he takes your hand and gestures further down the path. âAfter you, ner sarad.â
âThatâs mando, I recognize it.â You say over your shoulder. âWhat does it mean?â
Echo smiles at you, his eyes, those same old eyes lighting up. âI'll tell you all about it.
