(Captain Rex X Reader) How Am I Supposed To Feel?

"How could I forget? He took off his helmet and the first thing that flew out of your mouth was..."

. . .

"...Captain to meet you, nice Rex,"

Hushed whispers and chuckles filled the air around the rest of the clones as (Y/N) realized exactly what she had just said. She shook her head and covered her eyes with her hand as the amused response to her words continued. She looked to her side and found that even her own padawan -as well as her associate Master Skywalker's apprentice- barely resisting the urge to smile. She shot her young apprentice a warning glare, causing him to immediately stand at attention with the most deadpan look he could muster at the time. She had been warned that Caleb Dume was trouble, but it had never occurred to her that he would betray her in such a way.

As for her second apprentice for the time being, she noted that Ahsoka Tano seemed to have a much more difficult time restraining herself. While she certainly was a promising Jedi, she would have to work on maintaining an air of professionalism. She hoped that Caleb's usual demeanor that she had drilled into him would rub off on Ahsoka in time.

It was in that moment that Anakin Skywalker returned from his briefing with the council. He seemed a little put-off, however his glum expression quickly changed to one of confusion when the laughter from the large gathering of people reached his ears. 

"Master (L/N)?" he questioned. She turned to face him and shook her head, not wanting him to catch onto the fact that they were all laughing at her.

Skywalker sighed. He waved everyone towards the awaiting ships and called, "Alright men. Let's board the transports!"

(Y/N) sighed with relief as the troops filed out of the hangar and made their way to their designated ships. Just when she thought she was the only one still idling, the sound of a throat being cleared caused her to jump slightly. She turned around and saw that Captain Rex was the only one remaining in the hangar with her.

"What is it captain?" (Y/N) asked, attempting vainly to maintain an air of civility. The captain noticed the wavering in her voice and cautiously stepped forward.

"I'm sorry they reacted like that," he said quietly. 

(Y/N) waved him off. "No need to apologize- I brought this upon myself."

Rex shook his head, a small smile forming on his features. "For the record, that first impression will stick out in my memory a lot more than others I've had- and for the right reasons."

(Y/N) returned his grin as they fell into step with each other, slowly but surely making their way to the transports.

. . .

The ship groaned as (Y/N) carefully set it down in the spot that she had been assigned at the Rebellion outpost. She knew that she wouldn't be staying long, as she had already received word from Bail Organa that she and Ahsoka would be meeting up with another small band of Rebels within the hour that they arrived at their destination. 

During their journey to the outpost, (Y/N) had silently relived all of her meetings with Rex after their rough introduction. Even after their mission together had ended, they had continued to speak in private as often as possible. Less than a year had passed before they realized just how intense their feelings for each other were, and the very same day that they had agreed to meet in person to discuss what they would do about their predicament, (Y/N) had decided to cast everything that she knew aside and asked Rex to marry her. (Y/N) couldn't contain her smile as she recalled how happy Rex had been to accept her proposal, as her own joy had shone so much that even after they were forced to part for the day her padawan had watched her curiously as she practically skipped through the Jedi Temple. Of course she could not resist the urge to tell him- she trusted the boy after all. And that was part of the reason why it had been so painful for her to lose them both, one right after the other.
