Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
A little lighter than the last couple of days.
Note: Takes place in an AU where Ahsoka is promoted to the leader of the 501st and the war is prolonged. No idea where Anakin is lol.
Day 6: Truth or Dare
"Truth or dare?"
Rex rolled his eyes for the fifth time that hour. They'd been waiting for evac for over 4 hours. Night was falling. Waiting for evac meant bored clones, and bored clones meant stupid games. It did not help that General Tano encouraged them.
"Truth." Fives said confidently.
"How many times have you had to see Kix for chafing?" Jesse asked.
There was a chorus of 'oooohs' and laughter.
"And don't try lying." Kix said. "I keep very good records."
Rex glanced up from his datapad. Fives had five other clones plus the General leering at him. He looked like he was sweating laser blasts. Rex shook his head and returned to his work.
Fives mumbled something.
"What was that?" Ahsoka said with glee.
"Sixteen!" Fives said louder.
The group burst into hysterics. Rex cracked a smile. For the past hour Jesse and Fives had continually targeted each other in some sort of embarrassment contest. No one else had had a chance to go, but nobody seemed to mind.
"General!" Fives said. "Truth or dare?"
Rex raised an eyebrow. The contest was apparently over.
"Truth." Ahsoka said.
"Who's the most attractive clone?"
"Dare." Ahsoka amended.
"I dare you to kiss the most attractive clone here."
"Let's go back to truth." Ahsoka said.
"No, you didn't let me switch back earlier, you're stuck!" Kix said.
"Ugh." Ahsoka said. "Fine. Let's take a look."
There was the sound of her getting to her feet and then soft footsteps.
Rex glanced up again. Ahsoka was pacing around the circle of clones. They all looked up at her with eager faces. For a moment Rex stared at her. The way her lekku swayed as she walked mesmerized him. Her form was illuminated by the plasma lanturn they'd placed in the center of their circle.
"Hmm." Ahsoka said. "Which one, which one?"
"Oh, hurry up!" Jesse said.
Rex knew Ahsoka, while protesting it at first, was enjoying drawing this out.
Rex realized he'd been staring at her for a good minute and went back to his data pad, face heating.
Then suddenly something soft pressed against his cheek. There was a loud outcry from the group of clones as the pressure pulled away. Rex turned to see Ahsoka grinning at him, inches from his face.
Rex couldn't speak as the others, Fives especially, continued their protests. He could feel his face turning red as Ahsoka stared into his eyes for a moment more. Then she turned around and went back to the circle.
Rex watched her go. The men were still shouting and protesting.
"Are you kidding me? Rex?"
"It's the blonde hair, isn't it?"
"You just chose him cause he's captain!"
"You didn't tell me to explain myself." Ahsoka said as she sat down. "Kix, truth or dare."
"There is no way Rex is more attractive than we are." Kix said.
"Truth or dare, Kix."
Rex waited a moment for them to focus on Kix having to put his armor on backwards and then take it off. Then he reached up and touched the spot where her lips had touched his cheek. Was he imagining it, or was the skin still warm from the kiss?
Check it out and my ongoing Rexsoka weeks on A03!
