War Against Us (A Captain Rex x Reader Story)

Our Paradise, Our War Zone

A/N: Finally, here is a chapter of just you and Rex :), well, most of it :p

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

It didn't take long for Rex to finish his shower. He came out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel around his waist, yet his body seemed as if it was almost dry. As he got closer to you, you noticed a few water droplets falling from his  neck. He sat down on the edge of your bed and sighed.

"Rex? Don't you want to put clothes on? You must be so cold," you tried to talk to him, grabbing a pair of pajama pants from across the room. 

He exhaled loudly and stood up, taking the pants from your hand. Without any notice, he began to take the towel off of his waist. You quickly turned your head and faced away from him. 

Yes, he was your boyfriend, but neither of you have discussed intimacy yet. Nor did either of you have experience. He probably wouldn't have cared if you didn't turn away, but you figured it wouldn't necessarily the right time for this to happen. 

You felt the bed sink in behind you. You rolled over to see Rex, laying in the bed beside you. His bare chest revealed his muscles, making you bite your lip a bit, but there were more important things to worry about. 

Rex went on to pull you on top of his chest as your began to speak, "What's wrong my love?" you asked, resting your head on his chest. 

His breaths deepened, "What happened out there, was beyond our greatest nightmares. It's all too much to explain."

"I'm listening," you whispered, planting a small kiss on his chest. 

"K-K-Kr-I can't even say his name," Rex whimpered, "He told us we were nothing but objects, that we were just worthless living targets for the separatists. He made us fire at and kill our own brothers! He didn't even use my name! My name is the only thing I've had! The only thing I've owned! And the only time I ever though I'd hear the number 7567 was in a medbay! He took our individuality away!" he softly took you off his chest and stood up off your bed, tears beginning to flow down his face, "Why do you even bother? Why am I worth your time? What's so special about me? There are millions of clones, why me? Why are you even with a pathetic "fake" human like me?" Rex finished, collapsing to the ground on his knees, producing enough tears to fill the oceans of Kamino. 

Your eyes began to water. His words did not offend you at all, yet you felt so hurt by his suffering. You slid off your bed and sat next to him, pulling him into your embrace. 

"You are the most amazing man I ever met, Rex. To most people, you may be just one in millions, but to me, each and every man in this army is their own special person. No one is the same in my eyes, Rex. Your drive and your affection and your personality is what took me away. When I first met you on Kamino, I understood what love at first sight meant. And as I got to know you and when were on Rishi together, it made me realize how special you actually are," you sighed, "that's when I fell in love with you."

His arms wrapped tightly around you, pulling you in closer to his shaking body. He rested his head on your shoulder, instantly soaking your shirt. His body felt cold, yet warm at the same time. After a few minutes of hugging, he finally decided to get up and lay down on your bed. Still on the floor, you looked up at him with loving eyes.

He held out his hand pulled you onto the bed. "But the lack of you these past few days has been the worst," he mumbled, your faces barely touching. 

You wiped the remaining tears off his face with your thumb, "Looks like we have some catching up to do," you smiled softly, pulling yourself close enough to him so your legs could intertwine. The amount of love you both had for each other was radiating through out the room, at a level that even Rex could pick up on.
