First night (CT- 7707)

It's starting to get late, CT- 7707 had a good time eating with Fives, Echo, Hardcase and Rex. He also met a few other troopers, none of them care about his voice, it makes him so happy he can almost burst. Right now he's sitting with Rex at a table in the mess hall.

"I think it's about time for bed." Rex say's, placing a hand on CT- 7707's shoulder. He looks up at him and nods, he's ready to sleep.

"Come on, I'll show you your bunk." CT- 7707, Rex, Echo, Fives and Hardcase all get up and head to the barracks. Once they get there they go their separate ways except for Rex and CT- 7707, Rex brings him over to an empty bunk.

"This is your bunk Vod'ika, mine's right across from your's. Fives is above you and Jesse is over there. Have a goodnight Vod'ika." Rex say's, pointing to each bunk. CT- 7707 nods his head and Rex walks over to his bunk as CT- 7707 takes off his armor, slipping under the covers.

It's much different from their pods on Kamino, he's so used to being closed in rather than having it kind of open. He looks over and sees Rex, Hardcase, Fives and Echo huddled together talking. He already knows that Rex is telling them about his brother's, but he doesn't mind, they deserve to know.

"Goodnight Vod'ika." He hears Fives say as he smiles at him and jumps up on the bunk.

"Yeah, have a good sleep." CT- 7707 watches Echo jump up after Fives, they must be cuddling. He wishes that he could join them, but he's to nervous to ask. His batchmates always did cuddle piles together but he never joined. He didn't think that they'd allow him too

CT- 7707 closes his eyes and does his best to fall asleep, hoping that he doesn't have the usual nightmares.

"You defect! Why would you ever think that they'd choose you!" CT- 7707 covers his ears as his batchmates taunt him, he has no idea how they got here.

"CT- 8998 is right, why the hell would they choose you, you Di'kut! I don't know why you'd kidd yourself, you are nothing!" He feels tears come to his eyes as so many more taunts are yelled at him, he kneels against the floor and covers his ears.

"P-Please st-t-top, please" he begs, only getting more cruel laughter. He suddenly feels someone shaking his shoulders.

"Wake up kid! It's a nightmare, it's okay Vod'ika! Wake up!" His eyes snap open and he looks up to see Rex above him, he's frowning with a worried look. CT- 7707 starts to feel guilty when he realizes that he must have woken Rex up, he looks around but notices that no one else is awake.

"You were whimpering and crying in your sleep Vod'ika, it was quiet but I was listening for you just in case, since this is your first night." CT- 7707 reaches up and wipes the tears from his eyes, but more just fall. He hated that nightmare, and he hates that he woke Rex up.

"I-I'm s-sorry." He whispers, feeling guilty. But Rex just shakes his head, pulling him into a hug. He feels so bad for the Vod'ika, he woke up to him whimpering and crying for someone to stop.

He knows that this nightmare was about the Vod'ika's batchmates, he's definitely going to have a word with Shaak Ti about them. There's no excuse for how they must have treated this Vod'ika.

"It's okay Vod'ika, I was listening for you. There's no need to apologize." CT- 7707 nods slowly, he feels stupid. He's to old to be crying like this. Rex softly pushes him over, and crawls in beside him. CT- 7707 looks at him surprised but Rex just smiles kindly.

"Do you want to cuddle Vod'ika." CT- 7707 can't believe that he's being asked to cuddle, he nods.

"Okay, you want me to grab Fives, too?  Him and Echo are already cuddling up there." He nods again, and Rex climbs out and stands up. He hopes that this will help the Vod'ika trust them, he should have offered to cuddle with him before.

He should have known that the kid wouldn't ask, the hopeful look in the Vod'ika's eyes when he asked him to cuddle was heartbreaking. He sees Fives and Echo curled together as usual and he reaches over and nudges them.

Fives! Hey Fives, Echo!" Rex whisper yells and they both groan and look over at him, pissed to be woken up in the middle of the night.

"What do you want Rex!? It's late." Echo asks him.

"The kid had a nightmare, I asked him if he wanted to cuddle and he said yes. I don't think that his batchmates ever cuddled with him before." They both sit up surprised, Fives can't believe that the batchmates treated him that way, they abused him.

This kid was so scared of him hating his voice that he wouldn't speak, he hates this Vod'ika's batchmates. He knows that Rex will never allow them to join the 501st, and both him and Echo are thankful for that.

"Sure, we'll come down and cuddle, won't we Fives." He smiles and nods, jumping down with Rex. Echo follows behind him and they all crawl in the bunk with CT- 7707, Rex is on the outside.

Then it's CT- 7707, followed by Fives and Echo, Rex feels the Vod'ika snuggle up to him. He smiles and pulls him close, Fives snuggle's up close to the kid on the other side and Echo snuggle's up to Fives

CT- 7707 sighs in content, he loves his Ori'vod's. He also loves cuddling, he feels his eyes start to get heavy but he doesn't fight it, like he usually does after a nightmare. He lets himself fall asleep, feeling safe and warm with his brothers.
