The middle dragon was by far the biggest. His dull scales made it hard to make out if his scales were yellow or gold. Cautious golden eyes held more reluctance to engage with her if it came down to a fight. The other was similar to the first, brown and black scales. The difference in him was the mass of black scales on the side of his right temple creating a 5.
The first one steps forward again, shaking his wings and letting out a low roar. Not to be outdone she too stepped forward but let out a more aggressive high-pitched roar trailing off with a low hiss. Her spines flared and rippled in combativeness. He backed off and looked at the dull yellow dragon. He grunted and turned away, not seeming to want to fight her. They disappeared over the dune moments later.

“That’s why Echo’s better. You’re up to something.”
“Am not! I’m just trying to determine where I stand. Now I know not to buy your drinks next time, not worth it.”
“Yeah Rex, there’s gotta be someone out there that you like more than Cody or Echo? Who is it?” Jesse added, a devious curl of his lips accompanying the statement. Again, Rex’s mouth betrayed him, and the words tumbled from his lips against his will. “I like Ahsoka more. She’s nice.”
“Just nice?” Fives countered. Then, without subtlety whatsoever, Fives stated, “You like her, don’t you?”

Rex greets Ahsoka softly, not wanting to set her off. She's exactly where he expected her to be, aggressively laminating pastry dough by hand as though it had personally offended her, her cloak still on with the hood up. She doesn't acknowledge him. Maybe it's the moving meditation. Her massive sleeves are covered in flour. Rex bites his cheek to keep himself from laughing. This isn't the time.
'Do you want some help with that?' Rex asks, approaching Ahsoka from behind, hardly noticing the fluttering in his chest as he puts his hands around her middle, resting his head gently on her shoulder to watch. Ahsoka flinches, but allows it.
...she's never flinched at his touch before. 
With a deep sigh, Ahsoka hangs her head, refusing to let go of the rolling pin. 'Can you just stay like that Rex?' She asks quietly. 
So she does still want him. To touch and be around her at least. Well, Rex can pretend everything is normal if she can.
'Of course cy- Soka.' Rex presses his lips together, not breathing until Ahsoka begins folding the dough again. 
He doesn't see Ahsoka squeezing her eyes tightly shut, nor the broken expression on her face at his slip-up. Maybe Rex would allow himself to speak freely if he didn't have to leave her, or if he didn't think it would send her running again, but that isn't his life.
'So…what are we baking tonight?' Are the words that leave his mouth instead.

A week later she asked, “Are you mad at me?”
He was sharpening a hunting knife while she was reading on the couch. He glanced up. “What? No.”
“You’ve barely spoken to me. Do you not want me here?”
It came out more sternly than he’d intended: “I always want you here.”
“Then what’s the problem?”
He wasn’t used to talking about his feelings. He wasn’t used to having feelings. “I’m…upset,” he managed, though it felt a little like gutting himself open. “That you enlisted.”
Her face softened. “Of course I enlisted. It’s what I’ve been training for. What my whole life revolves around.”

When he can’t take the pain any longer, he mercifully takes her hand, then begins to lead her towards the ship. Telling himself it's for both of their sakes does little to ease his mind, he can feel the grief that surrounds them. He knows she carries the weight of the world in guilt on her shoulders, as does he. They’ll mourn together in the silence, just like they always have.

“So, uh,” Anakin cleared his throat. “Are you going to tell him?”
“No!” Her brow furrowed with frustration now.
“Then what are you going to do?”
“Nothing! I’ll just ignore it and avoid him until things go back to normal,” she growled. The truth was still heedlessly pouring out of her, but her tone and flushed features conveyed her real emotions on the matter.

“Come on, little brother.” With the hand that wasn’t holding the plate, Cody reached down to grab one of Rex’s arms and hefted him up. “We’ve got sugar and carbs to consume. You can have a breakdown at the realization that your star-crossed love is requited some other time.”

He wants to know more, know her more.
He…loves her, he really does. She shouldn't have to hide such a huge part of her life from him, sneaking away at night to do...Sith things. Rex only just realized it in the last couple of months, but she has likely been doing it the entire time he's been living here.

“Got time for dinner, then?” He offers next, making sure to not sound like he’s begging for her too much.
While he trusts her intuitions, trusts where her responsibilities lay, he allows himself the brief delusion that if she really stays, that she does it because of what he asks of her, he won’t be able to forgive himself.
“Fireball takes over the cooking when Gregor’s gone. I think he just likes to experiment at this point, and well,” He shrugs. “The more, the merrier.”
The soft look she reserves for him almost makes him shift in place. “If you’re sure.”

Her throat was as dry as the Tatooine desert, and all she could managed to choke out was, “R-Rex?”
Three sets of identical brown eyes snapped to her, meeting her horrified gaze. Rex was the only one who spoke, his voice steady and resolute, despite his current life-threatening predicament.
“Commander. They sent reinforcements?” He inquired matter-o-factly as Kix immediately turned back to the injury, trying to stop the bleeding again. He swore softly under his breath as he did so.
Ahsoka ignored Rex’s question in favor of one of her own, dropping to her knees beside him. Taking his hand she asked, “Rex. What happened to you?”

Rex buries his face in his hands for a moment. He's about to drown in his misery when he feels a light touch along the nape of his neck—Ahsoka. Her thumb settles at his pulsepoint. “You did the right thing,” she says quietly. “Never doubt it.”
“The right thing would’ve been for me to shut up and do as I was told,” he rasps. “Not this.” He can’t say it out loud. He can’t even think it in definitive words; it’s just this nebulous mistake he doesn’t regret at all, no matter what it does to him. He's just having some trouble coming to terms with the fact that he's capable of doing something like this.

He finally steps up to her side, catching her double take in the periphery of his vision as she realizes that she can see his face. There’s so much vulnerability in the softness of her yellow eyes that he stumbles the last half-step to the rail. When he finally meets her gaze, clutching the barrier in a tight fist because his heart is racing (toofasttoofasttoofast), they’ve turned an unequivocal green. His breath catches in his chest.

“I am right here, remember?”
Ahsoka’s offended tone was enough to bring them out of their bubble of bickering, in Rex’s case abruptly lifting his head and banging it against the hood of the car. He turned around with a hand rubbing the side of his head, and while Anakin couldn’t see the look on his face, he knew they were silently staring into each other eyes, and his sister had one expression that Anakin knew all too well: challenge.
Huh.
Finally, she seemed to give up by being the first to break the improvised staring contest and averted her eyes, biting her lower lip and kind of... disappointed?
Double Huh.

Jesse and Kix chuckled. “You seriously can’t admit that you know everything about her and you’re insanely jealous if anyone even remotely approaches her?” Kix asked.
When Rex shook his head, Jesse said, “You punched one of her informants when he offered to get her a drink.”
“He was being creepy.”
“He was the bartender.”

“Is there anything I can say?” Rex had asked, already knowing the answer.
She’d stood beside him, arms folded across her chest as they’d watched the landing pad. A bickering Houk and Weequay had been loading cargo into a light freighter named the Adamant, watched by a human woman taking inventory.
Her ticket off-world.
“Don’t do this again, Rex. It’s safer this way, for both of us.”

“What's going on here?”
There he was. He looked almost the same as when they last parted ways except for the slightly longer hair and patchy stubble.
“Ahsoka?” His voice was, a second ago, all stern and commanding, now had a soft shake to it, as if he were afraid that if he spoke her name too loud she would disappear. He was about to say more, but she didn't give him a chance. Instead, she threw her arms around him and squeezed as hard as she could. He responded in kind.

“Rex!“ She glanced behind him, “Oh, hi Anakin,” That got a snort of amusement from Skywalker, who hung back by the doory, on his comm.
"General," Rex said softly.
Ahsoka's gaze drifted towards him, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Rex, you know you can actually call me by my name right? It won‘t kill you,"
Rex‘s lips twitched at that. “Yes, General.”
