Captain Rex x Reader

Adding Insult to Injury

"Could you just stay a little bit longer?" He said. You couldn't refuse his pleading eyes. The request alone gave you butterflies in your stomach. A handsome man was requesting your presence late into the night... though all of the clones were equally handsome, of course. You did feel a little different about Rex, though. It was probably just his great leader abilities.

You agreed to stay a little bit longer. But as your thoughts dwelled on the captain and your feelings about him, you drifted off into sleep.

The next morning you were jolted awake by the nurse.

"(Y/N), we believe we can remove your cast later today. But right now, we need to do some tests on the captain, so would you please be so kind as to leave the room for now?" She said nicely. You knew she could tell there was definitely something going on between you and Rex.

You got up and left the room, but not before sneaking a glance at the captain, who had a look of displeasure on his face. You'll have to make it up to him later.

You strolled the halls, aiming for the bridge. You were disheartened as the number of injured clones seemed to increase from last night, but none of them really seemed to be in low spirits. That was good.

Because you're just hired guns, you shouldn't really care about the clones as much as you do. They're just so charming, and the finest group of soldiers you've ever worked with.

You arrived at the bridge, and opened the door to a very calm-looking Commander Tano and Admiral Yularen.

"Ah, (Y/N). We were wondering when you'd arrive." The admiral said.

"It looks like the Republic is poised for victory very soon." Ahsoka said optimistically. "Despite our heavy casualties, very few have actually been fatal. Master Skywalker and the 501st are just cleaning up the last few tinnies left on the planet." She said. "How's our captain doing?"

You didn't realize she knew that you were with him the whole time. Seems there's really no secrets here. "He's pretty torn up about not being on the field. But I think he'll be pleased to hear of the Republic victory." You said.

"Another cruiser is on its way here as well to bring us supplies and passage back to Coruscant." Yularen said. This was all great news you couldn't wait to bring back to Rex.

A few moments later someone announced that the separatist cruisers have just hyperspaced out of the system. Cheers erupted from the bridge, but there was still a feeling of tension in the air, as we weren't really saved yet. We're still waiting on our rescue.

It was time for your cast to be taken off, so you headed back to the medbay. The nurses greeted you, and everything went well with your leg, but you didn't get to fulfill the real reason you were back there.

The medical team was still working with Rex, so you didn't get to see him. They told you it would be a little bit longer, so you headed to the hangars- limping- but not in much pain.

After a few hours, the last of the LAATs had brought the survivors back to the cruiser. You managed to catch General Skywalker when he returned.

"General!" You yelled to get his attention.

"Ah, (Y/N)." He said, walking your way. "How is your leg doing?" He asked, noticing you were almost fully-healed.
