A/n: okay I'm going to try and continue this but I'm not sure how good this is going to be because when I wrote the first few chapters I was actually on holiday and was in the zone. I'll try my best. If something doesn't match with the last chapter please let me know xD.

The others didn't come back. Best guess of Rex was that fives and echo were dragging it out for his sake. Rex went to get another drink out of the fridge. He didn't care he needed one.

After Jesse swapped his broken shoes with Hardcases, the three of them sat back down at the table to decide what they would do.
"Right obviously people have been starting to catch on and- Jesse can you stop!" Kix looked under the table.
"What?! His feet are bloody small!" Jesse was madly kicking his feet.
"Jesse I think there are a few things about more relevant from your flipflop size-!"
"But look!"
Jesse slapped his foot onto the table.
"Jesse!" Kix was grossed out while Rex just picked the bridge of his nose. He really did lead some idiots.
"His feet are kriffing tiny!"
"Okay we get the point."
"No kix you haven't looked-"
"just get your gross disgusting foot off the table!"
How (y/n) wasn't waking up was nothing but a miracle.

Rex just looked at the pair. "when you two are quite finished can I know how many people know definitely?"
"Didn't we just tell you that?" Jesse raised an eyebrow.
"Possibly but I've just woken up."
Kix scratched the back if his neck awkwardly, "well obviously me and jess know now and Echo and fives knew anyway. Nobody outside the flat knows and Dogma refused to believe it. But the others have certainly guessed."
Not good not good not good.

"What should we do about it?" Rex had no idea what to do now he was in a panic.
Why didn't he listen to her? She said this was going to happen and it now has.
Kix and Jesse offered nothing but sympathy. It was rare the captain didn't have a plan. Even when walking like a twat up to a droid he always had a plan.
"Well I think we tell Hardcase and Tup," Kix put his hand on top of Rex's, "then if they know they won't be shocked and blurt it out."
"How could I even let this happen?"
"Hey everyone makes mistakes, even a great captain like you." Jesse smiled, "I mean think about it only a great captain could get that great of a catch."

Rex couldn't help but laugh a little, "Jesse, your a great trooper but sometimes your an absolute idiot."
Jesse laughed a little as well. If it makes people laugh he will always tell jokes.
"I'm being serious though how did you get her?"
Rex looked round to his sleeping jedi going a little dreamy,
"I don't actually know," he smiled, "I just wish she would trust me enough to speak to me."
He stopped smiling and looked a little sad. For a man who showed himself as a stone hearted soldier, underneath he was filled with so much emotion. The cold captain was such a sweetheart. And that sweetheart was who (y/n) fell for.
"You didn't find out about the jellyfish Accident by chance did you?"

Rex turned back around to Kix, "no I Didn't. I went to hold her hand and she flinched. Then when I found that out she fell backwards onto me and was still trying to cover it up."
Why? In relationships your always honest to eachother right? You always tell the truth right? Did she even love him? What if she-
"Rex? Rex! Snap out of it!" Kix hissed snapping his fingers in his face, "sort out your partner issues later!"
"What? Oh sorry." 'Rex wake up forkriffsake!'.

"Right so when Dogma falls asleep we privately tell the others and we keep this secret. You have to keep this more secret than you currently are or else both your lives could be at risk. Cab I ask what you were thinking about holding her hand when at any moment one if the 501st could turn round the corner and snitch on you?"
This was a fair point. Looking back now he definitely shouldn't have done that.
"I'm just growing impatient. All the time we try to hang out and she's so nervous and jumpy and this is the only time I can get to be alone with her. I mean yes I sleep with her when I can but unless she is half dead tired it's just tense. Like she doesn't want me to be there."
"You two seemed fine on the lilo."
"she was tired then and obviously nobody around her. I'm shocked she calmed down."
"and you her fives and echo went to dinner where no loud group of clones would be in sight."
"She was fully herself then. It was like the war wasn't a thing."
"Then she wants to be like that. It isn't easy for both of you."
"I know that!" he snapped, "Im sorry I'm tired and I really can't think."

Jesse and Kix looked at eachother. They had to do something. The pair of them were on their last strings they needed a break, their own break, just to be themselves.
Hardcases obnoxious shouting could ve heard in the distance.
"The others are being back soon." Kix tried saying as gently as possible.
Rex shook his head hard 'snap out of it!', "right of course." He quickly put everything back to normal in the room then put a blanket over (y/n) and walked into the bedroom taking his drink with him.
'the show must go on'

"Wait so your telling me I'm allowed to piss you off?" Hardcases face lit up.
"Yes. Or else Dogma might start to suspect something."
"Holy tap dancing force this is the best night ever :D." he crawled back into his wardrobe, "Jesse get in here." he was drunk.
Jesse's face went pale, "huh?"
"I said get in here."
'Why is it when he's drunk I become his teddybear?'
With a heavy and scared heart Jesse followed him in being half dragged. The rest of the clones apart of a sleeping Dogma saluted him.
Good luck Soldier.
