A Rex x female Jedi General reader :3

Warnings: None. Word count: 2,497 (sorry y’all)

“C’mon, General, you could use the fun! What’s one night at 79’s gonna do to you?” Fives pleaded as he threw his arms out. “Yeah,” Jesse agreed, grinning slightly. “This is just the thing we need.” You sighed heavily. You were sore, and tired. You had just come back from a traumatic battle on Felucia, and you had lost many good men in the 501st. Quite honestly, you wanted to go hide in your room and be left alone for weeks to mourn them.

“I don’t know, boys.” You rested your hands on your hips and looked up into the bustling skies of Coruscant in the fading daylight. You had managed to escape from the confrontation of the Temple to a solitary platform that Captain Rex had showed you long ago. You had spent many long hours conversing with the Captain up here. It was like a safe haven for the two of you. The sounds of the traffic were less clamorous up here. It was just you, and a small square of sky amidst cloud-piercing buildings.

“I…I think I ought to just stay here.” You mumbled. You still felt as if a great weight was upon your shoulders. Fives furrowed his brow and took a few steps closer to you.

“I know where you’re at, General. I’ve been there, myself.” The ARC Trooper let out a bitter chuckle. “But believe me when I say…” He searched your eyes for a sign of approval. “A couple of drinks with merry company is just what you need.” He finished, and gave a lopsided grin; one that had become quite familiar to you in recent months.

“And!” Jesse added, a glint of good humor twinkling in his eye. “The Captain will be there.” He wiggled his eyebrows as he did when he teased you about Captain Rex. Your heart did a slight flutter at the sound of his name, but you kept your face stoic.

“I see.” You nodded nonchalantly. You knew better. Rex had been fighting side-by-side with you…you knew the last thing he wanted was to party with his drunk brothers.

“Rex never goes to 79’s. He’s too consumed by his business and that of General Skywalker. You’re pulling my leg.” You shook your head and gave a slight laugh.

“Well…uh—” Five’s hand sought the back of his head and scratched it. “Jess and I may or may not have convinced him to come by saying you’d be there.” He flushed, and laughed nervously.

“Insubordination!” You yelped, and sent a playful punch to his shoulder. “Why the kriff would you do that to me?!” You rolled your eyes and huffed, unable to contain a small smile.

“Pleaaase, General y/n?” Jesse pouted. You knew he was milking it…and it was working. Fives peered at you through his amber eyes, begging you to join them.

“ALL RIGHT!” You cried, exasperated. You threw your hands in the air. “I’LL COME.”

Jesse and Fives hooted and cheered. “But you…Mr. Matchmaker,” You said, jabbing a finger at Fives. “Are paying.”

Fives snickered, and nodded. “I expected nothing less, General. Come on. Mine and Jess’s Speeders are over here. Now you get the joy of choosing which of us you wanna plague on the way to 79’s.” He winked.

“Oh, you’re hilarious.” Your tone dripped with sarcasm. “Seeing as you’ve already proved to be a pain in the rear this evening, I’ll catch a ride with Jesse, thank you very much.” You chuckled, and Jesse smiled.

“I-I’m honored, General!” He exclaimed, and saluted. “Calm down, Jesse, it’s y/n, not General Kenobi.” Fives laughed as he mounted his speeder. You smiled, and clambered onto Jesse’s behind him.

“Heads up, General. He drives like he’s fresh outta the tube!” Fives teased from a few yards away.

“I do not, Fives! Stop making me look bad!” Jesse shouted back, and flushed. “S-sorry, General.” He apologized sheepishly. You suppressed a laugh, and patted his shoulder. “It’s quite alright, Jesse.” You chuckled and gave a content sigh. “It’s quite alright.”

Arriving at the bustling platform of 79’s you were shocked at the amount of Clones gathered on it, and making their way either in, or out of the bar. The flashing neon lights of the sign pierced the darkness, and threw vidid splashes of color across your white robes.

“Well, looks like we won’t be alone, tonight!” Fives exclaimed as he dismounted his speeder. “When are we ever alone here, Fives?” Jesse rubbed his temples as if a headache was coming over him. Fives stretched, and popped his fingers. “Who’s ready to get kriffing wasted!” He bellowed. You strode up behind him, and slapped him upside the head in one swift motion. “No, Sir you’re not! We have a strategy meeting in the morning! I forbid you get ‘wasted’.” Fives blushed and chuckled. “I was only mostly joking with all due respect, General.” He methodically explained. “Mhm. I see that.” You eyed him as you walked in stride with him into the bar. It was bustling on the inside. Part of you feared being recognized, but the rest of you didn’t care. You were here to forget, and throw caution to the wind for a few hours. You’d deal with the consequences later. It was hard to concentrate on just one area of the bar, seeing as there were many mixed dynamics unfolding every few feet…but a particular figure caught your eye. A solitary clone, sitting hunched over at the bar with his fingers running absently around the rim of his shot glass. You recognized him instantly.

“Ey, General!” Fives called, waving you over to a booth. He had found Echo, Hardcase, and Kix and was asking if you wanted a go at darts. You shook your head, and motioned towards the bar, hoping he would get the message. Fives grinned, and nodded.

A good man, that Fives.

And a good soldier.

As crazy as he was, he genuinely was a kind, and caring soul. But now as you squeezed through a labyrinth of dancing, drinking Clones…your thoughts were only focused on one soul. You knew Rex felt every loss just as deeply as you did. He merely had a better way of hiding it. You were right behind him now, but his head was hung, and he had not noticed you.

“You know, when Fives said you’d be here, I thought he was joking.” You slid onto the barstool beside him, thus announcing your presence.

“Oh! G-General!” Rex stammered, and his head shot up. He raised his eyebrows, and peered in an intrigued manor at you. “I…could say the same about you.” He began slowly. “Can I buy you a drink?” He politely offered. You smiled, and shook your head. “The drink I’ll take, but put it on Fives’s tab. He’s paying this evening.” You nodded firmly.

“Ahh, I see.” Rex chuckled, and a small grin pulled at his lips. He cast a glance over his shoulder and rolled his eyes seeing how dramatically Fives was telling another one of his daring tales. He finished off what was left in his shot glass, and waved down the bar tender, insisting that your oder be put on Fives’s tab.

“All of his shenanigans aside— I’m glad you’re here, General.” Rex looked at you, and you thought that his eyes looked older than when you’d seen them last. “Please, Rex,” You sighed as you looked down at the counter. “Call me by my name…just when it’s us.” Rex’s eyes widened a bit, but he nodded as if he’d just been given an order his life depended on. “Understood, y/n.”

The way he said it made you flush, which you wanted to kick yourself for. “Are you doing alright…just—y’know, after the other day. I don’t want to ruin the evening, I just wanted to make sure you’re okay.” You asked as you received your shot. Rex looked bitterly into his.

“Nothing I’m not used to.” He shrugged.

“I didn’t ask if you were nullified to it, I asked if you were okay.” You gently reinforced. Rex took this into consideration. “I-I’ll be alright. Thanks for asking.” You noticed a hint of blush had crept up into his cheeks, but figured it was just the alcohol. You’re heart ached. You could see the hurt in his dark eyes. You could sense his heaviness and grief. After downing your shot, you waved down the bartender for another.

“I didn’t think that you drank.” Rex quietly observed. “I do tonight.” You replied with a small sigh. Rex creased his brow and gazed at you. You wanted to look back at him, but you could not meet his eyes.

At that moment, a song started blaring from the speakers and the whole crowd went up in a riot. You could hardly hear yourself think. Then Rex laid his hand firmly on your shoulder as he rose from his seat. “Follow me.” He shouted to be heard above the noise. You chuckled, and followed on Rex’s heels through crowds, out the back door, and into the cool night. There was a small balcony that was used for deliveries that was seemingly deserted. Even the sounds of traffic paled in comparison to the obnoxious concoction of noises in the bar. Your chest rose, and you exhaled contently, mind eased by the quieter atmosphere. “Much obliged to you, Rex.” You winked. Rex rested his arms across the railing of the balcony. You did the same, and stole a glance up at him. His lips were pursed, and his eyes were distant…but he was as handsome as ever.

“How about you?” He asked suddenly, still not looking down at you. You tilted your head to the side.

“Pardon?” You further inquired.

“Are you…okay?”

Your heart skipped a beat. Of course you weren’t okay. But how on earth could you tell him that without lying to him?

“Dunno,” You quickly shrugged and turned your head away. Rex shifted to where his side leaned against the railing.

“You don’t know?” He repeated doubtfully. “Y/n, I have a hard time believing that.”

You bit your lip as tears stung your eyes. You hadn’t cried for them yet, you hadn’t gotten a chance to. But Rex was here now, and he cared about you. Could you cry in front of him?

“I just…” Your breath got caught in your throat. You heaved and your lower lip trembled as your self control started to slip. “I failed them.” You whispered as a tear fell. Rex instinctively took a step closer to you.

“Y/n, no you didn’t…” He quietly contradicted.

“I did, too!” You sobbed, swiftly turning and looking up at him. “Every one of those boys died at my command! Their blood is on my hands! I was the officer in charge.” Tears streamed down your face, and you choked as you sobbed. Rex simply stood there, unsure of himself or what to do. He slowly raised his arm, and laid his hand on your shoulder. “I understand.” He whispered. “I…understand.” You pressed your hands to your heaving chest, and leaned into the Captain as you were overcome by sobs. Rex did nothing for a moment, but after observing the situation, he gently folded his arms over your shoulders. He gently patted your back and hushed you. “There now, you’ll be alright.” He whispered. You shook your head slightly and heaved. Rex pulled away, and held you by the shoulders. He looked deeply into your tear-filled eyes. “Y/n, listen to me. It’s not your fault. In battle the loss of life is inevitable. I was out there with you, and you commanded those troops to the best of your ability. The lives lost were due to the enemy, not you. I know that, and those boys knew that. Understand?” He finished gently. You sniffed, and nodded realizing how ridiculous you must look. Then another thought kicked in. Your face was only inches away from Rex’s. The city lights glimmered in his dark eyes like nothing you’d ever seen.

“Can—can I have another hug?” You meekly asked, feeling your already red face flush. Rex’s eyes widened for a moment before he cleared his throat and regained his composure. “I—sure. Sure you can.” His eyes darted about as if making sure no one was around to see you. You put your arms around his waist, and he held you slightly tighter than before. You slowly started to steady your shaky breaths, and calm your spirits. “Thank you.” You whispered after a moment…but you did not pull away. Rex did not make you. You then realized just how long you had wanted to hug the Captain. You went directly against the Jedi code in what you felt for the Captain, but was it really a bad thing? This “attachment,” had brought no pain. Instead it had brought happiness, and light to you. You looked up into Rex’s face, and moved back a step.

“Rex, I—” you began, unsure of what to say. You knew what you felt, but how could you put it into words?

“I’m here.” Rex grinned and your heart leapt.

“I think…” You began quietly. “I think you’re a wonderful person. I admire and respect you very much…would it be so wrong for a General to fall in love with her Captain?” You let your words hang in the air as Rex stood before you in shock. “Y/n…” He stuttered. “Are—are you serious?” He blinked as his breathing quickened.

“I am, Rex.” You looked into his eyes with an unwavering gaze, anticipating the worst.

“All this time…” Rex breathed. “I thought it was something wrong with me.” His eyes scanned you, and you sensed the conflict within him. “I…” He began, but you took his gloved hand in yours, cutting him off. Now you knew his blushing was from more than the alcohol.

“I understand.” You smiled at him as your heart started to pound inside your chest. Rex hesitantly drew you by the hand closer to him, you could have sworn there were tears in his eyes. You gazed up into his deep brown eyes, and your stomach back flipped. His eyes were seemingly alight with some newfound glow. He leaned his head down, and you could feel his breath as your foreheads pressed together.

“I’ve…never done this to anyone before.” He bashfully admitted, releasing a wry chuckle. You grinned, and cupped the side of his face with your hand. “Neither have I, so maybe we’ll have beginner’s luck.” You joked. Rex shut his eyes, and softly brushed his lips against yours, sending an electric shock wave through you. Your eyes fluttered shut, and as you slid your arms around his neck, you noted to thank Fives for inviting you out that evening. You had needed it more than you realized.
