Ahsoka Tano One-Shots

Caf | Part 2

Heyo, human beings from outer space!

How long's it been? A week? Too long. 

Well, I bring you another (mostly) funny story of Hardcase's awesome plan completely backfiring on him! Yay!

Trigger warning for vomiting. 

Read on if you dare. 

"I'm bored," Hardcase said to no one in particular– there actually wasn't anyone in earshot. He was alone in the barracks splayed out on his bunk. Transit was so annoying.

Hardcase wracked his brain for anything entertaining to do. He didn't like exercising in the training room after battles and pulling pranks was no fun alone. The last time they were in transit back to Coruscant, it hadn't been so dull. Ahsoka had come to him with so many cool ideas. They'd planned lots of fun things to do and—

That was it! He and Ahsoka could do those fun things together!

Hardcase leapt up from his bunk and dashed out of the room to find Ahsoka. He ran up and down the hallways, asking passing brothers if they'd seen her.

Eventually, he found her walking from the hanger. Dark circles shadowed her eyes and her shoulders slumped just enough to be noticeable.

"Hey, Commander!" Hardcase skipped up to her and fell into step next to her.

"Oh, what's up, Hardcase?" she replied, straightening slightly.

"Nothing much," Hardcase said. It's quite boring, he thought. "What are you up to?"

"I was going back to my quarters. I just finished helping Anakin with some mechanics," Ahsoka said. "Do you need anything?"

"I..." Hardcase looked at her glassy eyes. He wanted to tell her all about how boring transit was and how he wanted to do all those fun things they'd planned, but she looked tired. She'd never want to have so much fun. If only there was a way to magically give her energy so they could....

Wait, that was it. He remembered Ahsoka ranting on about how she'd had some caf and it was really good. She'd been hyper from drinking the caf!

"I was wondering if you want to drop by the mess with me," Hardcase finished confidently. "Will you?"

"I'm not really hungry..." Ahsoka trailed off, seemingly lost in exhaustion.

Hardcase gave her an imploring look.

"Sure," Ahsoka finished. "Maybe I'll get water or something. Hydration is important."

Hardcase brightened. He practically dragged her to the mess.

"I'll get you your water," Hardcase shoved Ahsoka onto a bench at a table. "You just sit here." He rushed off before she could reply and skidded to a stop at the caf dispenser.

"Hmmm," Hardcase thought aloud. What was the size of the cup the General let her have last time? Rex said it was the.... Extra small. That's right, it was the extra-small cup that she had.

Hardcase's eyes widened as an idea sprang into his mind. If she drank the small cup last time and they had so much fun, then how much more fun would they have if he gave her the largest cup? They would have an unreasonable, intoxicating amount of fun! It was the best idea he ever had!

Snatching up the largest cup, Hardcase filled it to the brim and squirted in a generous amount of cream and loads of sweetener.

"Here you go, Commander!" Hardcase slammed the cup down in front of Ahsoka. She took it wearily and lifted it up, but stopped when it was centimetres from her lips.
