Hurt/comfort again, general bonding, oh lord they’re BONDING?!?! unfuckinbelievable, moth and human interaction??? AMAZING.

okay I’ll stop.

Day 1 Afternoon

Bly’s eyes shot open, he woke up and realised that he actually fell back to sleep this time without having a single bad dream. Lying on his stomach with his wings flayed out in the open, he looked over to his right arm. He was holding a portion of the scarf like a pillow. Sometime in the midst of thinking about Aayla, it calmed him down enough to let his body get the rest it needed, and he held onto the scarf while he slept.

Bly couldn’t help but feel somewhat embarrassed by it all. Like a child discovering their crush and going through the motions of unpacking those feelings for the first time, his brain was curious. He’d really never had these kinds of emotions for anyone. Within the realms of love, he only felt a familial love for his brothers and in a way the jedi they worked with. In terms of actual romantic love, he contemplated if he’s ever felt it at all. Still lying down now burying his chin in the soft fabric he thought out loud.

“Wait, I’ve never even had a friend who’s a girl.”

He said to himself as his hand scratched his nose, the only women he’s ever really talked to were maybe a few workers, but it was always brief, the odd civilian him and his brothers questioned, maybe a few Jedi but that realm of connection was complicated. He does have feelings for women if the paintings, carvings, and life like statues from around the realms were any indication.

“No, the pin up posters don’t count.”

He grumbled into the fabric shoving his flushed face into it. He just met her, what if she already has a boyfriend, she mentioned an Ex, maybe she just got out of the relationship? His brain wouldn’t stop thinking, he slowly got up and reached over the box picking up a piece of bread Aalya left for him and a cube of melon. He hungrily devoured the bread his brain still in a frenzy over his feelings for Aayla.

“hnmph bhut shesh human What dho I dho abouwt thwat!”

He said to himself still eating the bread furiously. He gulped.

“ahh what would your general say...”

He groaned as he bit into the melon cube.

“Whell at leasht she’sh noht a jhedi.”

He said before swallowing, he stared down at the melon his thumb rubbing the smooth side.

“heh, at least she’s not evil...I think?”

He said before looking up and around him, he was under her bed, maybe she could be hiding something?

“ghahh cmon don’t snoop.”

He said to himself before eating up the remainder of the fruit, as he chewed he thought about what he said, but still that didn’t stop his eyes from wandering. Then his eyes began to catch a glimpse of something. As he began to make out the shape he choked on his own saliva and began to cough. Clearing his throat, he looked back up at it now determined to figure out if it was what he was thinking it was.

Aayla’s foot furiously tapped as the clock in the lecture room ticked, the proffesor was finishing his final thoughts.

“please hurry up.”

She thought and begged in her mind.

“So there you have it, alright class now please remember to get your assignments in before the 12th I will not give full credit to late work, the best you’ll get is a C if it is.”

Aayla shoved everything into her bag and booked it out the door faster than anyone else, sure she could’ve left sooner but she wasn’t gonna risk missing something important. As she speed ran through the outdoor hall she said to herself.

“Gahh but there was nothing important to stick around for!”

She groaned to herself as she ascended some stairs to the bus stops.

“Please be okay, please be okay.”

She whispered as she checked her phone, it was time for the bus to arrive but as she sat at the stop she looked up and noticed it wasn’t there. It couldn’t be late, there’s no way. She gave a long sigh resting her chin on her palm her foot tapping anxiously again as she waited and waited for her late bus to arrive.

Back at home Bly managed to get out of the bed, he thought to himself, this is stupid what are you doing, as he stretched his legs over the edge of the box, his thigh still sore from the fire fight. Holding onto the side of the box he lowered his tibia and tarsus down, his tarsal claws extending out to the ground like a human’s foot trying to gain traction to the ground, as he planted his tarsal feet and pre-tarsus felt confident enough to hold him, he slowly got up on his legs wincing as he applied pressure onto his legs, his thigh stinging him slightly but letting up as he stood. Still holding onto the box, he slowly walked over, feeling a lot better with walking he let go of the box briefly before reaching out and leaning against another wall made up of a plastic storage container. His eyes fixated on the long object lying on the ground in front of him, when he finally made his way over to it his antennae perked up at his curiosity hit its peak.

“what the?”

He said to himself before he nearly jumped out of his skin, the door swung open and the sound of Aayla rushing in and setting things down as fast as possible. He watched frozen in place, he was a little too far to make it back to the box and convince her he was there all day. So he internally panicked as he saw her kneel down. When she stuck her head underneath the bed she also paused seeing him standing leaning against the plastic container.

“Bly! You’re up is everything alright-aaa...”

Aayla said until her eyes surveyed the situation her brain turning to panic as she saw what he was standing behind.

“Aayla be real with me, what is this.”

Bly asked in front of him was a cylindrical device, with an intricate design and a button in the middle of the handle, it was capped off at the top. Aayla’s face turned a beet red.

“I-I UHM Okay Bly listen th-there’s a time in a woman’s life where she feels like she needs to discover herself more.”

Aayla stuttered attempting to compose herself.

“What?”

Bly replied as she continued.

“It’s a time where she begins to really understand what female bodily autonomy is and that she DOESN’T have to live by conservative womanly expectations.”

Aayla said now a little more confidently, Bly’s face now turned to confusion his antennae slowly lowering as she continued to talk.

“As you’re temporary host, I’d like to apologize my personal life shouldn’t be on display like this and I’ll be honest I thought I left this in my clothes drawer-”

Aalya said before Bly asked.

“Wait wait, what is this Aayla? Because I think our understanding of what it is might be different.”

He said before Aayla paused.

“Aha...Uhm it’s my...Vibrator.”

Bly blinked a few times.

“You’re what?”

Aayla blinked a few times. The air was dead silent, but Bly was legitimately confused he never heard of one before.

“Ahh it’s a personal feminine product, nothing of your concern, please don’t touch it.”

Aayla said before swiping the vibrator and furiously scooting out from under the bed, she shoved it into a drawer and went back under the bed. Bly still confused just kinda stood and silently watched her hide the thing. When she emerged back under the bed he slowly asked.

“So what uh...what does it do?”

Aayla’s forehead was sweating.

“I’ll explain it to you later, why don’t you get back in bed need help??”

She said Bly getting the notion she was clearly uncomfortable agreed.

“hah yeah, look I’m sorry Aayla.”

Bly said scratching the back of his neck Aayla’s expression softened.

“Don’t be, it’s good to see you up at least, here.”

Aalya said gently before holding her hand out to him, her index finger extended towards him, his small hand moved from the container and to her hand, holding on firmly to her finger. Aayla felt her heart skip a beat as she helped guide him back to the box.

Later Aayla stayed lying down on her stomach under the bed next to Bly, they began talking to each other more.

“So this is kind of a stupid question, but are you a fairy?”

Bly chewing on a cracker asked.

“hmph? Whatsh a fairwy?”

Aayla thought for a second before explaining.

“Well, they’re small like you but they look more human than anything else, they have wings on their back small pointy ears, clothes made up of leaves.”

As Aayla explained Bly tried to visualize what she was talking about I guess he kind of fit the bill of what she was explaining but from the sounds of it, they didn’t seem to have antennae, or the kind of legs, fur, and other physical traits that he and the others had.

“Well we aren’t called fairies. At least me and my brothers aren’t, we’re called moth clones.”

Bly said after finishing the cracker, Aayla was intrigued.

“Moth clones? Are you all the same type of moth?”

Aayla asked, Bly chuckled.

“No actually, we all have the same face, the same body except we’re spliced with different types of DNA, so they can keep making more of us.”

Bly continued to explain as Aayla watched and listened to him completely enthralled.

“Some have different ears, they’re not all pointy like mine came out, some of my brothers have 4 arms, some have palps on the side of their jaws, think of it like tiny fuzzy claws.”

Bly said imitating head palps with his index fingers pointed on both sides of his face and giving a little claw motion.

Aayla smiled this was so much more interesting than a skinny white girl with wings. Bly continued.

“We have a lot in common with regular moths, except we’re not held by natural instincts, like if I see a lamp, I’m not gonna go wild.”

Aayla laughed and asked.

“Do you come across normal moths then? Can you talk to them?”

Bly tapped his chin and replied.

“Somewhat, I mean I can’t have a full conversation with them, but there’s a general sense of understanding if we ever do come across any of them. Oh but we can do this, hmm I gotta do it slowly so I don’t hurt myself.”

Bly said before sitting up and removed the blanket from his body, he sat crossing his legs and closing his eyes in concentration, his form fading slowly to a dark silhouette and shrinking down, Aayla just kinda watched on in awe, the color and light returned suddenly, on the bed now just a regular Yellow Emperor moth.

“We can disguise ourselves as regular moths.”

Bly said his antennae perking up as Aayla smiled.

“Wow and you can talk! That’s amazing, so you’re magical.”

Bly scratched his head with the pre-tarsus on his frontal leg.

“Well I mean we can only really change shape, this shifting skill of disguising yourself as a regular moth is something we all are taught, but higher ranking individuals are taught more skills.”

Aayla was really enjoying learning more about Bly’s people, but cautious about questioning him too much in one sitting then asked.

“Bly are you okay with me asking about your people?”

Bly looked up at her and said.

“Somewhat, there are things I obviously can’t tell you. We’re taking a huge risk even being around each other.”

Aayla looked at him concerned.

“You’re not going to explode are you?”

Bly laughed.

“What?! No! I mean we aren’t allowed to be around others often, let alone humans, hell us clones don’t even know a whole lot about humans.”

Aayla sighed as Bly continued

“The only thing they ever told us about humans was to just disguise yourself and pray to your God.”

Aayla understood that advice, growing up the kids were vicious to bugs of all kinds, even now if her roommate even spotted something vaguely roach like she’d spray it to death.

“Yeah, that adds up. Again, Bly thank you for explaining this all to me, I’m glad you seem to be feeling better.”

Bly shifted back to his regular appearance and smiled as he got back under the blanket.

“Heh yeah no problem, I’m still coming along not entirely healed up, my side and wing still hurts, I think I have to replace the cotton inside my waist bandage.”

Aayla immediately asked.

“We can do that right now, hold on let me grab my things.”

Aayla had grabbed the box and brough him upside. Leaving him on top of her bed she went for her bathroom.

“Okay wait here I’ll get some more bandage.”

Aayla walked into her bathroom and shuffled through her drawers for her first aid kit, Bly spoke from the room

“Aayla, would it help if I was bigger?”

Aayla without really thinking about what he said just kinda replied as she focused on finding her gauze.

“Sure Bly.”

She said back, after a few minutes she finally found it and grabbed it, she walked out of the bathroom.

“Okay I’ve got a few things here to help you-”

Aayla’s eyes travelled up from her full hands to a now human sized Bly sitting on her bed. Aayla choked and began to cough accidently inhaling some moisture through the wrong pipe. Bly looked worried.

“Woah woah you okay?!”

He asked as Aayla look at him shocked trying to clear her throat.

“*Hack* YOU’RE BIG!”

Bly smiled awkwardly.

“Sorry if I startled you, I asked, and you said sure?”

Aayla still stunned by how much bigger we was in human size kinda walked up to him slowly.

“I hah uhh I didn’t know what I was saying I...”

She trailed off her eyes inspecting him closer, up close she could see in more detail his fewer human features, wow he was very fluffy. She stopped herself and spoke.

“Okay okay sorry I got distracted. Let me take off the bandage and...Why?! how is it bigger now?!”

She questioned as Bly looked down and also asked.

“Huh I don’t know that’s kind of weird. Explains why my armor can grow with me...And my supplies...How does that even work?”

He questioned as they both stared at the stained bandage equally confused.

“You know what doesn’t matter this is fine, I know how to dress wounds like this, here let me just.”

Aayla said before slowly reaching in and undoing the bandage from Bly’s waist.

Bly looked up and away from Aayla and at the door. Hiding the subtle blush painted across his face, all the medical staff and nurses were either made up of his own kind and or droids. He never imagined a woman like Aayla would ever take the time of day to care for him.

He winced slightly as Aayla removed the last of the stained bandage, the dried blood stuck to his skin as Aayla peeled it off.

“gahh”

He grunted as Aayla took off the cotton on his side. His gash was still pretty bad, it needed stitching something she couldn’t do on his smaller body, and at the time. She got a damp towelette and dabbed it around the wound.

“Bly here just lightly clean up any blood on your side, don’t touch the exposed section, I’m going to grab some alcohol, a needle and thread, I need to stitch up your wound.”

Bly sighed.

“I knew you were going to say that. Alright go ahead I’ll try to clean this up.”

Aayla nodded and began to dig through her desk drawer, she closed it and walked out of the door and into the supply closet, she grabbed the bottle of rubbing alcohol and returned to her room locking the door. She grabbed the lighter off of her desk and held the flame over the tip of the needle, disinfecting it.

“You surely have a bit of medical know how.”

Bly said as he held the moist towel to his side.

“I had good teachers, my mother and father taught me these things. I also had to watch out for my grandparents growing up, so working with injuries was a constant for me.”

She said before grabbing another towel and wetting it with the alcohol.

“This is gonna sting.”

She said before applying it to the main area Bly inhaled sharply as he felt his side light up in pain.

“Sorry about that.”

Aayla said before dabbing the towel on the wound. She put the towel and picked up the needle and thread.

“You alright with needles?”

Bly sighed he didn’t like needles but could tough it out.

“I’ll be fine. You do you’re thing Aayla.”

He said looking away Aayla nodded, pulling up her desk chair and scooting closer to his side she said.

“It’s no medical thread, but it’ll do.”

Bly gave a slight grunt and shivered as he felt the needle make contact with his skin. He clenched his jaw as he tried to distract his brain from the feeling of having his wound stitched up.

“Your doing great Bly.”

Aayla reassured him as Bly squeaked. “Are you almost done?”

Aayla looked she was just barely finishing the second stitch.

“Ahh not quite.”

She replied as Bly still tensed up gave a long exhale, this was his first-time getting stitches and it wasn’t very pleasant.

After about 30 minutes to an hour Aayla finished her stitching and tied it off, she took some scissors and cut the remainder slightly, but still enough to remove later when the injury healed up more.

“Okay, hopefully at the end of the week, we can remove these before I send you off.”

She said before dabbing the wound one more time with a towel, the cut on his shoulder didn’t turn out to be so bad thankfully, she patched it up with a large wound band-aid, and the cut on his thigh also wasn’t that bad but she was able to treat it better. Bly panicked internally as she bandaged it up, he was dissociating hard the whole time. Finally, Aayla’s hands left him.

“Alright that’s much better now, isn’t it?”

Bly’s injured leg flew over his good one and he immediately covered his groin area with his politely crossed hands.

“Mhmm! Yeah! absolutely thanks doc.”

Bly said sweating as Aayla not looking at him got to putting everything away. Bly immediately focused on shrinking back down to his regular size and jumping back into his makeshift bed before Aayla could notice anything.

“Did you want me to try and tend to your wings? I’ve never treated something like that before, but I could give it a go.”

Aayla asked before turning around and noticing him back to his normal size and in bed.

“Hah ah Nope I’ve gotta leave them exposed so the scales can come back. But yeah, thanks a lot, gonna get some rest now!”

Bly said nervously as Aayla smiled.

“Wow you did that fast! Well did you wanna remain under my bed? Or is there anywhere you prefer.”

Bly shook his head.

“Thanks for asking but under the bed is good enough for me, gives us both privacy.”

Aayla nodded he had a fair point, she picked up the box, sliding it back underneath her bed before scooting underneath herself.

“It’s getting late so I’ll let you get some rest Bly let me know if there’s anything you need.”

Aayla said as Bly smiled back at her.

“Thanks Aayla I...The fact that your helping me, it means a lot, I really thought I wasn’t going to make it.”

Bly’s expression dimmed as he really felt his words hit.

“You saved me, I’ll always be in your debt.”

Bly said looking back up at Aayla with a genuine look of intent. Aayla felt honoured but she always helped those that needed it, and Bly was someone she was more than happy to help.

“It’s no problem, Bly, I’m glad I got to be that hope for you, and you don’t owe me anything, please don’t worry about it.”

Aayla replied smiling Bly looked back at her sincerely.

“Your very kind Aayla, Thank you.”

Bly said back softly, Aayla felt her heart rise to her throat, holding back a huge dorky smile she wished him a goodnight and slid back out from under the bed. Shortly after she left Bly got cozy again, the better treatment of his wounds made a world of difference, now was just the matter of recovery without the bacta pods. Sleep came a lot easier for him this time, he knocked out almost immediately, the thought of the conversation he had with Aayla got his mind off of everything, he couldn’t wait to talk to her again,but this time really get to know more about her.

Aayla was in the bathroom processing everything that just happened her face was red as she thought about Bly. No no! She had to be respectful, she washed her face and stared at herself in the mirror before slowly de-evolving back into a frenzied mindset, his words, his voice, and his fluffy body set right back in as she shook her head.

“No no no! I’m better than this! I’m calm...I’m calm...”

She hastily whispered to herself, for a second, she was calm that is until she thought about their conversation, how happy he was to explain everything to her and how funny he was when doing so.

Aayla overwhelmed buried her face in the bathroom towel and squealed.

It was gonna be a pretty complicated week.
