Author's Note: Wattpad won't let me center space, so the screewriting format looks a little weird on here. This story is also on Ao3 and FanFiction.net if you want the normal formatting.
INT. RESOLUTE HALLWAYS - DAY
Ahsoka nervously paces back and forth outside the Med Bay door, with a worried expression on her face. She rubs her arm where a laser bolt scuffed right past her arm. But that's not what she's thinking about. During the battle, Rex was shot in the shoulder by a sniper.
Ahsoka looks at the Med Bay door. Anakin approaches.
ANAKIN
Ahsoka?
AHSOKA
(surprised)
Master!
ANAKIN
What're you doing here? Are you hurt?
Ahsoka covers up her minor wound.
AHSOKA
I'm fine, just waiting for Kix to let me in.
Anakin strolls right past Ahsoka and walks into the Med Bay.
AHSOKA
Master! Kix said--
ANAKIN
--I'm going to see if Rex is okay. I don't care what Kix says.
Ahsoka looks pleased and follows her master inside.
INT. MED BAY - CONTINUOUS
Anakin and Ahsoka walk up to Rex's bed. Kix stands beside him with a medical holopad.
KIX
You're going to have to stay here for at least three more days.
Rex groans.
KIX
I'll check back on you later.
Kix nods to Anakin and Ahsoka.
ANAKIN
How is he?
KIX
He needs rest, so I advise you don't stay long.
Kix leaves.
ANAKIN
How are you holding up? It doesn't look that bad!
REX
(smiles)
I'm fine, sir.
Ahsoka walks up to Rex, peering over the bed.
AHSOKA
That looks bad.
ANAKIN
He'll be fine in no time! Well, I better be off. Master Kenobi wanted to see me about a battle report.
Anakin nods and walks out of the med bay, leaving Ahsoka and Rex alone.
AHSOKA
How are you really?
REX
(sighs)
It hurts.
Ahsoka pulls up a chair and sits by Rex's shoulder.
AHSOKA
I'm sorry this had to happen.
REX
No one could've seen that coming, kid.
AHSOKA
I know, but I still feel like I could've prevented this somehow.
REX
You were doing all you could. Don't blame yourself. If anything, it was the Separatists' fault.
Ahsoka gives Rex a small smile and notices Rex's hand resting on his stomach, rising and falling with each breath. She gently places her hand on top of his, staring directly at his hand.
AHSOKA
(small voice)
I hope you heal soon.
REX
Thanks, kid.
Ahsoka continues to nervously stare at her hand on top of his. Is she taking things too far? She can feel the heat of Rex's eyes, but she still doesn't look at him.
REX
Kid.
Ahsoka manages to peel her eyes away from his hands. She turns to face Rex. His eyes have a soft expression and his lips begin to form a smile. She feels something on her hand and looks down in shock to see Rex's other hand on top of hers. She looks him back in the eyes. Their eyes lock for what feels like eternity.
Out in the hallway, Fives strolls down the hall, peering into every room. He stops to watch from the door of the Med Bay.
AHSOKA
If anything more serious had happened to you in battle--
REX
--But nothing did. I'm fine, Ahsoka.
AHSOKA
Rex, you aren't listening to me. What I'm trying to say is, is...
Fives' interest has peaked. He slips into the Med Bay unnoticed.
Ahsoka bends over Rex's face. Fives tilts his head to see what's going on. If it's what he hopes it is--
Ahsoka whispers something to Rex. From the back of the room, Fives sees Rex's face turn a light shade of pink.
Fives takes a step closer.
KIX
Fives?
Fives nearly jumps onto Kix with hands outstretched. He manages to cover Kix's mouth with his hands.
FIVES
SHH!!!
KIX
(muffled)
Whaa goin oon?
Fives tilts his head again, trying to see if anything interesting might be going on. Kix tries to turn his head to look, too.
KIX
I don ge it.
FIVES
Promise not to talk too loud?
Kix nods furiously. Fives removes his hands.
FIVES
I thought I saw... I thought... I thought I saw the Commander kiss the Captain.
Kix looks his eyes have popped out of his head.
FIVES
(nearly laughing)
I might finally have some leverage against Rex. I'm picturing all of our future bets. Just imagine--
KIX
--Are you sure of what you saw?
FIVES
(awkwardly)
Um...
KIX
(rolls eyes)
Let me know when you actually see something important.
Kix takes a step away only to be stopped by Fives' hand on his shoulder.
FIVES
But I definitely see them holding hands right now.
KIX
So what? People do that all the time.
Fives begins to pout.
FIVES
Kix, I think I was injured in battle.
KIX
Oh please, Fives.
FIVES
Put me in the bed next to Rex.
Kix rolls his eyes and leads Fives over to the bed. Fives tries to listen to Rex's conversation, but he can't make out the whispers.
Fives groans as he gets onto the bed. Ahsoka turns around.
AHSOKA
What's wrong?
FIVES
I think I was injured in battle.
KIX
It'll only be a few minutes. I'm sure he's overreacting.
AHSOKA
He could be seriously hurt.
Ahsoka stands up and puts a hand on Fives' hand.
AHSOKA
I hope you get better soon.
Ahsoka turns back around to Rex.
AHSOKA
I'll come see you later.
Rex nods with a smile. Ahsoka turns and leaves.
KIX
Guess you were wrong, Fives.
FIVES
(shocked)
I'm never wrong!
REX
Wrong about what?
FIVES
When the time comes, you'll know.
Rex looks very confused.
