War Against Us (A Captain Rex x Reader Story)

It's Okay

A/N: Hey guys!  Since you and Rex are with each other again, there will be much more romance :) I hope you guys enjoy!

FYI: (..................) means time gap

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

As Rex pulled back from the kiss but quickly pulled you in for a hug. 

"Are you sure you're alright Rex?" you whispered against his shoulder. His body was shaking and his embrace felt different; it almost felt weak. You left his hold, looking at his face. It was obviously tear stained and fear stricken. His emotionless face instantly made you regret pulling back. With more strength and passion than before, you pulled him in for another hug. He didn't need to be a Jedi to sense your concern, but this time, he accepted it, and began to break down. 

"Help me (Y/N). Help me. Help me understand. Why? Why? Why?" Rex cried, hugging you tighter. The sensation of his tears on your neck brought chills down your size. 

"Rex," you sighed yet trying to give him a supportive tone, "talk to me when we're off this planet. When we're back on the Defender. You'll have all the time in the world to talk to me. Just me and you Rex. Just me and you." You guided him to the ground, where you both remained for a while, never breaking your hug and his tears refusing to subside. 

Almost an hour later, you heard something coming from behind. By this point, Rex was fast asleep in your arms, but you couldn't let anyone know of your forbidden relationship. 

"Rex, Rex!" you whispering, shaking his body, "wake up! Wake up!"

"Wh-what?" Rex groaned, rubbing his eyes a bit.

"Someone's coming, we need to get up," you informed him helping him up then handing him his helmet.

He gave you a soft smile, "Just one more thing."

He wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you in for one last kiss until you went to the Defender. His lips were quivering through out the kiss, giving away his still distressed mind. 

"It's going to be okay." you informed him before walking towards the airbase. He sighed and put his helmet on. 

You looked at him, now with his helmet covering his face. What a shame. For an instant you were temped to just grab his hand and run. Run far away. So far that the war would never get to you and no one would every find you two. But that's not reality. Both you and him are tied to the war and the only way out is for the war to end.

"General! Captain!" Kix called, walking towards the both of you, "where have you been? We've been looking all over for you! It's Krell. He's awake. We need you both in the brig, now."

"We got side tracked, but thank you for informing us!" you thanked Kix as you and Rex began to follow him back to the air base

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

You stepped onto the elevator to the brig, already in disgust at the thought of seeing Krell again. As you finished your ascend to his cell, you noticed Hardcase, Jesse and Fives locked up in the cell next to Krell's.

"What?!" you exclaimed, staring your friends locked up, "what happened?! What did you do?!"

Before they got the chance to speak, Rex chimed in, "They did nothing wrong (Y/)..uh General. It was all Krell."

You sighed and opened their cell, knowing that you would probably be hearing a good story about this later. But you had other things to think about.

"Krell," you grunted, facing his cell, "how dare you?".

Krell let out a laugh, "Because your clones are so stupid and naive! They were so easy to manipulate! And when I escape, my new master will be in awe of my work!"

"You're an agent of Dooku!" you hissed, stepping closer to is cell. 

Fives approached you from behind, "As long as Krell is alive, he's a threat. Just letting you know," he whispered, pointing to your lightsaber. 

"It doesn't work that way Fives," you whispered back, taking a step away from him. "But, exceptions are always made," you said out loud. 

"You couldn't do it," Krell laughed, "you are far too weak. You are far too young to even lead an army!".

His words did noting but fuel you. You gave a nod to Rex. 

"Turn around!" he commanded to Krell. Surprisingly, Krell did exactly as he said. 

"On your knees!" Rex commanded again, pulling out his blaster and pointing it at Krell. But this time, Krell didn't do as Rex asked. "I said, On. Your. Knees." Rex demanded, his finger on the trigger. 

"You can't do it as well, clone," he laughed, "Look at you, you're scared, you're shaking. And if someone here actually cared about you, they wouldn't let you do this! But eventually I guess you're going to have to follow your orders and -"

Rex looked at his shaking hand, then at Krell. There was a quick flash of purple, then suddenly, he collapsed. Upon a closer look he saw it. Your lightsaber. He looked back at you, you were shaking, on the brink of tears, and your hand was extended. 

"I had to Rex. He hurt yo-all of you. I owe it to you," you gasped out, falling to the ground. Rex sat beside you and placed a hand on your shoulder while Jesse went to grab your lightsaber. He gave the saber to Rex to hold until you felt better. 

"I promise you, we will ALL back you up on this. You will be okay. It's all okay," Rex grinned, patting your back slightly, "He's gone."

You quickly got up, "You know what?! This is great! I killed a Sith! A cold blooded Sith!" you laughed, taking your lightsaber from Rex, "I need to contact the council!".

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

Without hesitation you contacted your master, "Master Windu! I have very important information for you!" you exclaimed as his hologram popped up.

"You seem excited (Y/N)!".

"Master. Krell admit to me that he was an agent of Dooku! He tried to kill the 501st! He was a Sith master!"

Mace gasped, putting his hand over his mouth, "Where is he now?!"

"Dead master," you looked down, trying to avoid eye contact, "I killed him."

"Oh (Y/N)!" your master sighed, shaking his head, "I would not advise that, but based on the circumstances, the Council will not punish you. We do need you to fill out a report though," you were informed. 

"Thank you master, thank you so much! But I must be going. We are expecting a full scale invasion!"

"Whoa whoa no! The 501st has gone through too much, they must be going back to the Jedi Cruiser. The 71st will come to replace them," Mace smiled, almost like he knew the stress they were going through.

And he was right. Before long, gunships came to pick you and the rest of the 501st up from the dark hell called Umbara. Unlike most gunship rides, this one was completely silent and the tensions were beyond high. 

Once the gunships got the the Defender, everyone moped out of the ships and went straight to their barracks without a single word. Sighing, you did the same, anxiously awaiting Rex's talk with you. 

When you got to your quarters, you quickly took a shower so you could freshen up before Rex arrived. Luckily, you had a shower attached to your quarters, so you opened the bathroom door to your quarters to get clothes to wear, but to your surprise, Rex was already there, sitting on the floor next to your bed.

"Rex!" you gasped, quickly grabbing clothes before retreating back into the bathroom. Once you were changed your emerged again.

"I'm sorry (Y/N)! I really am! I should have-"

You had to cut him off. His face was bright red and he just looked so adorable. "Rex, it's okay."

"May I take a shower?" he asked, slowly getting up.

"Of course! Take your time!" you smiled, laying down on your bed.

"Thank you mesh'la. I love you."
