star wars x reader (one-shots)

name: (slight) luke

Summary: You were kidnapped and kept in a stasis pod (like Kix). When someone finds you and lets you out, the truth that you're in the future hits you like a train.

Your breath hitched as you placed a hand over your forehead. The blood roared in your ears as your hands shook, and it was like time had come to a stand still. You couldn't believe your ears, and most definitely not the sight of your old friend. He wasn't the young pre-teen with blond shaven hair or a sparkle in his eyes. No, he was now old and gray, with a rather rounded stomach and chunky limbs.

When did he get so fat?

"Rex, I..." You trailed off, carefully studying every new wrinkle and gray piece of hair on his face. I'm sorry to say this Commander, he had said, but you're in the future. "That's impossible." You knew it was possible. "T-the chips... Fives! I-I promised--" Rex's sorrowful expression cut you short. You could sense the concern and sadness burst in his aura. Just by being there you had opened old wounds, and that was something you couldn't stand because you could have prevented them.

You discovered the chips with Fives back on Kamino and sought to spread the word to the Council before it was too late. Fives died along the way, and then everything else became a blur. You had been kidnapped, thrown into a stasis pod, and the rest was history. Only now had you finally been released from it. "I promised Fives I'd tell the Council." you blankly said. Rex took a seat on a rock as an ewok scurried by with a stick in hand. He motioned for you to join him, so you did.

"The Republic is gone now, Kid, and so are all the Jedi save for a few." You hung your head in your hands as the information pierced through your soul. Rex was clearly uncomfortable with telling you this, but you both knew you'd eventually find out anyway. You heaved in a shaky breath. "What happened to all the Jedi?"

"Order 66, the order to terminate all Jedi."

Your heart shattered. Sure, you didn't directly know of the particular name of this order, but you and Fives uncovered enough to have a vague idea of what those Seppies were planning. Only now did the truth really slap you in the face.

You loved being the correct one, but not in this way.

As for Rex, you sensed his wounds were opening. He was torn about Order 66, and clearly knew something else he wasn't willing to share. The hurt in his heart transferred over to you, only further weighing down your shoulders. "You and Fives were right. The Chancellor was behind everything. We didn't see that," Rex shook his head, "so we paid the price and turned on our Jedi. But thanks to you and Fives, I was able to help Ahsoka find the report on your discovery. She managed to remove my chip, and from there..." Rex knitted his brows together, that deep hurt in his heart finally reaching his voice. "...we survived. Although you couldn't save everyone, you at least saved us." Rex patted your shoulder comfortingly. "I know what you're thinking now."

You shook your head. "That's not true." Rex tightly embraced you.

"I didn't know you were so affectionate." you grumbled. Rex ignored your banter and instead rocked you from side to side like how Cody did to him as a kid. He felt the way your heart pounded. He saw the sadness reflecting in your eyes. You had always been so brave and strong for not only your reputation, but for your own legion of men. Now, it was Rex's turn to be the strong one. "You think this is your fault."

"That's not true." Rex rolled his eyes. "You're lying to yourself again, Kid. I know you're the selfless type, but you can't always save everyone. That's something you've gotta learn. I couldn't save a great deal of my brothers, either, but sometimes, in war it's hard to be the one that survives." It was quiet for a few moments, save for the chatter in the Ewok village in the distance and the partying Rebels dancing round campfires. The happiness those Rebels felt eventually made its way to you.

Despite everything you've known being gone, life blossomed and grew. Hope lived in the hearts of those men and women in the distance, and only seemed to keep growing as each second ticked by.

When Rex realised you had relaxed, you hummed a little tune. "That one?" you commented. Rex let out a lighthearted chuckle for you. The tune was one almost every veteran clone knew. It was a simple war song, but a tool many used to keep themselves sane throughout all the chaos during the Clone Wars. "Fives used to scream it all the time." you reminisced. Unlike Rex, Fives's death was still fresh in your mind. To you, it happened only a couple days ago while to Rex, decades ago.

It was crazy for the both of you to think about how much time had passed. When the tune came to a stop, Rex kept his gaze focused on a particular blond up in the treetops. You followed his gaze and squinted through the darkness (why weren't you modified with perfect vision?). "Who are you staring at?" Rex pointed to the blond with a small smile. "You see that kid there?"

"Yes."

"He's Anakin's son. The other's his daughter." You forgot your heartache in that moment. Daughter? Son? You knew Anakin and Padme had a 'thing', but never would have guessed they'd do that. Your jaw unhinged as you pushed away from Rex. "You're joking." Rex couldn't help the smirk crawling up his lips. "No, sir." You turned to look Rex in those honey eyes of his. "Have you talked to him?"

The old clone shook his head. "Not yet. Haven't got the chance." You peered over your shoulder to take another glimpse at the two people. Through the crowds of Rebels and ewoks, you weren't sure if they were overwhelmed by the sea of people or simply disappeared. You sensed a calm presence make its way towards you. From the trees and thick vegetation emerged a beautiful blond boy. His eyes were as blue as the lakes on Naboo while the smile he offered as bright as the sun.

"Wow." you whispered. Rex snickered as the boy approached. "Uh, hi." he awkwardly greeted. "How are you doing?" Rex elbowed you and leaned close to your ear. "He was the one that found you. I only offered to take care of you."

It was hard to look at the blond boy without melting. "I-I'm doing...great." you shakily replied. The boy knitted his brows together, clearly doubting your words. "Are you sure?" You sized the boy up and down. Fluffy golden locks, bright smile, confident demeanour, and mechanical hand just like his father. Another detail that caught your eye was the lightsaber hanging from his belt.

"You're Force Sensitive." you blurted.

"So are you." the boy replied. "How long have you been in that pod for? What's your name?" You shrugged at the first question. "I know I've been there since the Clone Wars, but I don't know the exact numbers. My name is (Y/n) Kenobi. You?" The boy's eyes widened. "The Clone Wars? Kenobi?" You offered an awkward smile.

"I had a brother. His name was Obi-wan." The boy's jaw unhinged. "What?! I am telling you, Ben doesn't tell me anything! I didn't know he had a sister!" You knitted your brows as the boy began to explain his relationship to your brother. At the end of it, he finally mentioned his name. "I'm Luke. Luke Skywalker." You turned to Rex with an incredulous expression.

"That was the baby name I told Padme about!"
