War Against Us (A Captain Rex x Reader Story)

Safe and Sound

A/N: Let's just assume TV's are just like ours in this chapter, haha.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You grabbed Rex's hand and led him to your room. The both of you entered. He sat down on the end of your bed as you opened a closet and pulled out towels, and handed Rex one.

"You can go take a shower in there if you want," you pointed to your bathroom, "here are some clothes. They are Anakin's, I hope you don't mind. He stays here sometimes so he has clothes here too," you laughed a bit, handing Rex clothes for bed. 

"Thank You, mesh'la," he responded softly, kissing your forehead, then entering the bathroom. 

As Rex was showering, you turned on your TV to watch whatever prime time show was on. You couldn't help but think that this is the first time in a long time Rex had a complete shower.  He probably was feeling so refreshed. As you were laying on your bed, you couldn't stop thinking about him. And that kiss. His lips were so soft, and that kiss was so passionate. As you were fantasizing about that moment, the bathroom door opened and Rex came out and handed you another towel.

"Your turn," he smiled as you got up.

(..............)

Rex was sitting on the end of your bed, watching the TV when you came out of your shower.

"Rex! You can lay down you know. You don't have to sit up like that!" You told him, crawling into the bed.

"I'm sorry, I just didn-"

"It's fine Rex," you smiled as he laid down next to you. 

He was still over a foot away from your body. You lifted up the sheets and got under and he did the same. Rex was still kind of far from you, so you took it upon your self to scoot next to him until your bodies were touching. It was very quiet, other than the TV in the background. You could sense that Rex was nervous, so you rolled onto your side and put your head and hand on his chest. 

"Don't be nervous, Rex. It's just cuddling." He sat up, making your hand and hand fall off him and he took his shirt off. 

"I prefer sleeping without a shirt," he smiled, laying back down so you could get back to the position you were in before he took his shirt off. 

You let out a quiet hum as you settled into his chest. Instantly, that moment became upsetting as you started to notice all of his scars. 

"Mesh'la what's wrong," Rex asked with concern in his voice.

"You have scars, everywhere. What have they done to you!?" You asked bitterly.

"Don't worry about it," Rex insured you, stroking your hair. "It's okay now."

You listened to him and felt your eye lids become heavy. Even though this moment was so amazing you didn't want to sleep, you felt so tired.

"Zyemus naktis, Nuyak nulis," you whispered, snuggling closer to Rex.

"Zyemus naktis, ner mesh'la jetii," Rex responded, lifting your chin up for a good night kiss. You both passionately exchanged a kiss before you fell asleep. 

(..............................)

You woke up before Rex. Regardless, you decided not to move, and just listen to his heart beat as his chest rose up and down. He was a quiet sleeper to the point where you could barely hear him breathing. Eventually, you decided to get up and get him breakfast. There wasn't much to eat in your refrigerator, so you left him a note on the bed, then left to get something. Luckily there was a store just next to your apartment. 

When you arrived back, Rex was still fast asleep. You smiled and watched him sleep for a bit. The sheets were slightly off of him, so you crawled into bed to put the sheets fully over him. As you were doing this, he woke up and rolled over to face you.

"Goodmorning, ner mesh'la jetii," he said in a raspy morning voice. You smiled at him. Wow his voice was godly.

"I think jetii means Jedi," you told him as he started to sit up.

"Well aren't you smart," he laughed, kissing your cheek. He looked so much better than he ever had. Maybe it was the fact that he got to sleep for the first time in a while, or maybe it was the morning light shining through the blinds. Rex continued, "guess I'll have to just call you  mesh'la for now on." He smiled as you started to get out of bed. 

"I'm still trying to figure that one out," you smirked, while walking out of your room to the kitchen. Rex got out of bed, put a shirt on, then followed you into the kitchen. 

"I'm assuming if I ask you what you want, you're going to have no idea what to say, so I'm just going to make you something," you sighed, beginning to cook. Rex was quiet. So quiet you could barely tell he was here. Suddenly, you sensed something approach you. You knew it was Rex, so you didn't do anything about it.

You felt a pair of strong arms wrap around your waist, followed by a head on your shoulder. It was Rex obviously. 

"Yes,  nuyak nulis?" You asked, continuing to cook. 

"First off, I love my nickname. Also, I think you are wonderful. I am so glad I can call you mine," he wrapped around you tighter. 

You turned around to face him and he lifted you up so you were sitting on the counter. This made you slightly taller than him. You wrapped your arms around his head and pressed his head against your chest, resting you head on his. This was a moment both of you never wanted to end. His arms made you feel so safe. Instantly, all the pain you experienced in you life went away as if it never existed, as did his. 

A single tear shed from your eye and landed on his head. 

"What is wrong mesh'la?" he mumbled, his head still against you. 

"There's nothing wrong. It's how lucky I am to have you. You take my greatest fears and worries and bad memories away," you whispered as you both pulled each other in closer. 

The timer for the food went off, ruining your perfect moment. You two let go of each other and you went to plate the food. Rex sat at your table and waited. Before long, you brought the food over to him and sat down.

"Chocolate chip pancakes," you say, handing him syrup. 

"Uh, what do I do with this?" he asked, taking the syrup from you.

You laughed, "Here, I'll help." You poured some syrup on his pancakes and sat next to him. "I hope you like them," you smile.

Rex took a bite, and his face confirmed he enjoyed them. 

"You know, I always heard about chocolate, but I didn't expect it to taste this good!" He told you, "You're a great cook. I hope to be eating more of your food," he winked at you, finishing his plate clean. 

"I'm glad you're enjoying this," you smiled, then laughed because there was chocolate on his lips.

"What?" he asked, unaware to why you were laughing. 

"There's chocolate on your mouth," you continued to laugh. Rex was about to wipe it off then you stopped him. 

"Wait! I got it," you told him, leaning in to kiss him. You licked the chocolate off of his lips then continued the kiss. You could feel Rex smiling through the kiss. 

You both pulled back. 

"We should get ready, the boys are going to ask where we are," you whispered, kissing him again.

A/N: I have a really good plot twist idea but it's very evil (and no it's not a character death). Should I go for it?
