Chapter Text
You were one of the best Healer the Jedi’s could have. With your healing powers you improved since the Jedis took you in as a child you could heal someone with a single snap of your fingers… Well okay not that easily but something in that direction.
You were part of the 501st battalion under General Skywalkers command. It was not really a wonder that you were assigned to them. It’s known that the now older, and some think wiser, Anakin was a Daredevil in his younger years but sadly, as Obi Wan told you, that didn’t change. He is still as reckless as usual much to the dismay of General Kenobi and the council. That’s why his troops always get injured or worse and that’s why you were there.
Six monthes went by since you were assigned to him and his troops and still everyday has something new and somewaht familiar. Six months now that you knew your best friends. Six months in which you healed more people than you thought you could. Six months now which you knew him… Captain Rex. He was a man of honour. He fought for what he believed in and would never leave one of his brothers behind… But still your start with him was very rough. At the beginning you couldn’t stand each other. Always on each others throats and sometimes even insulting each other. It wasn’t until you were set on a mission with him and his troop that you two saw what the other could do and would do to save lives and that started everything what was now between the both of you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You could heare shoots fired and men scream from literally everywhere. You run straight into a trap from the separatist. Someone must haved told them about your secret mission to infiltrate one of there bases and take it down and now everyone is getting slaughtered by there droids. You tried your best to stay calm and collected while tending to the wounded clones lying on the floor. You just finished healing Hardcase as you heard someone scream that General Kenobi would be there in a few to evacuate you guys. It felt like a ton of weight dropped from your shoulders. You would be out there soon and safe.
The thought about being out there soon made your guard fall and you didn’t noticed the droid behind you aiming in your direction. Then everything went to fast. “(Y/N)!” , someone screamed. You turned around just to see the droid shoot at you. You closed your eyes, waiting for the pain, but the next thing you felt was not the pain of a shoot but someone throwing themself with you on the floor . You gasped as you landed on the floor with someone on top of you. As you did so your eyes shut open again and you saw one of the clones on you. But it wasn’t just someone like Jesse or Fives from who you expected to be rescued… It was Rex… You could still tell it was him even thought he had his helmet on. The jaig eye on it was just unmissable.
You coudln’t say nor do anything except starring at him in disbelief. The man of who you thought hated you, just happened to rescue you from being shoot and probably also dying. “You have to look out (Y/N)! You can’t just let your guard down in the middle of a battlefield!” He wasn’t excactly screaming right in your face but he still was saying it quiet loud right in your face. The only thing you could do was nodding your head, still starring at him quiet terrified by how loud he was and what took place only seconds before. As he started to stand up you muttered something under your breath which he nor you could identify. He helped you up and send you back on track with healing the others and look out for danger that might approach you.
Soon after the incident General Kenobi and his troops came to pick you up and bring you out of there which made all of you take in a breath of relieve. But you still have to be careful, you weren’t out of there yet. In the last few minutes of evacuation Rex got shoot in the leg and you tried to heal him as much as he let you because he was screamin at everyone that Fives was still there on the battlefield somewhere and he didn’t want to let him there. He even tried to stand up and run back but you didn’t let him. He knew Fives was still alive and you could feel it too. Your instinct let you look back at the battlefield while Rex got carried away, still screaming at the others, to one of the ships. You believed Rex that Fives was still alive there… somewhere. Systematic and analyzing your eyes went over the battleground. Between all the rubble, ash and destroyed droids you could see something… Something blue and white…
“I FOUND FIVES!” , you screamed from the top of your lungs. As fast as you can you run towards him. Blending out the screams from Obi Wan and the others to come back, that it wasn’t safe. But you didn’t care. It was your job helping people. Tend to those who are wounded and also safe them. You quickly came to a halt as you kneeled down beside him, taking of his helmet. “Five can you hear me?” Your voice was a bit shaky. He became a close friend to you over the short time you were now part of the 501st and you didn’t want him to die. It was a short silence which felt like ages for you but then he opened his eyes and said, “Of course I can here you, (Y/N/N).” It was shiver of relieve that rolled down your spin.
It was now later in the evening and you were now finally resting after healing the last few wounded and you were tired. As you washed the dirt and dried blood of your skin. You reflected the events that happened earlier. The mens getting shoot and screaming… The men still fighting even thought it seemed so endless and helpless… The incident with Rex. The incident with Rex… You didn’t notice how time flew by while being so caught up in your thoughts. You went out of the shower and began drying yourself up and getting clothed again.
As you slowly walked out of you bathroom you heard a knock coming from your door. Didn’t know who it was you just said ‘Come in’ with your voice having a very hearable undertone of exhaustion. Your doors slide open almost unhearable and come to light was Captain Rex. Your exhaustion fainted right then and there and you were slightly shocked seeing him. He walked towards you and came to a hold almost one arm lenght in front of you. Silence fell over the room as you both just look at each other. You couldn’t stand it anymore and just asked, “What do you want?” Your voice was rather quiet and he definitely could hear your concern and nervousness out of it. “I wanted to say thank you for getting Fives out of there earlier.” , his voice was also rather quiet but calm and collected. “Ain’t I the one to have to say thank you because you rescued my life earlier.” It wasn’t a question but more like a statement from you. A slight smile formed on you face and you could swear you saw one on his face too.
“Well than we both have to say thank you.” His voice now had an underton of amusement and something undefinable. It send a shiver down your spin which wasn’t a bad thing in your mind. “I guess so.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You smiled about the thought what developed after that day. You two spend that night together talking and finding out that you have more in common than you think and you quickly forgot why you guys couldn’t stand each other in the first place. You soon after that went on a date. Then on another. And on another. And so on. Both of you made sure that your duty was on first position and you could understand each others reason for it but still, when you were in battle together you would look for the other just to make sure they were alright. It seemed normal by now.
We all know that thinking to much or being to caught up in your thoughts make you less attentive and more of an easy target. So you didn’t notice the person creeping up behind you and position themself. Two strong arms quickly snatched there ways around your waist and lifting you from your feet. A brief squeal escaped your lips from the sudden movement of your body without your consent. You could feel the vibration of a chest on your back and you knew that he was laughing at you. “Stop it, Rex!” , you said loudly. It slightly pissed you of that he was laughing at you. “I’m sorry, cyare-” , he murmered in your ear, “-but I told you to keep you guard up.” You feeled the vibration of his chest again and sighed. You couldn’t be mad at him for too long.
He set you back on your feet and as soon as your feet touched the ground you immediately turned around in his arms and kissed him. It’s been two weeks that you last saw him due to a mission of his. It’s normal that he is gone for longer times but you didn’t heard from him this whole time and it made you anxious. Not knowing if something happend or if he was alright. He returns the kiss and deepens it by pressing you against his chest. It seemed like ages until you both broke the kiss for air. “I missed you.” , you breathed looking him directly in the eyes. You smiled at the sight of his face, taking in the familiar features of him. “I missed you too, cyare.” He grined as he began to pepper your neck with kisses. Oh how you missed it. As he began to unbotton you shirt someone walked in which made you and Rex jump away from each other. “FIVES!” , Rex screamed at his brother, clearly angry. “WHAT DID I TOLD YOU ABOUT KNOCKING FIRST?!” You just watched as Fives runs away screaming and Rex after him. A sigh escaped your lips as you began to button up you shirt again. Why does this always happen when you want some alone time with Rex?
