ok so i've heard this song on the radio about a hundred times and every time i heard it these 2 popped into my head! this fic was inevitable. i dont own the song Trace Adkins does and in case you didn't figure it out its called 'this aint no love song'
Well my heart didn't skip a beat
When I saw you standing there
Looking like some kind a angel
Like you were walking on air
Captain rex walked over to wear his general was standing with a beautiful Togruta who looked to be about 14. Rex held his breath as hormones flared. Get your head strait soldier. He instructed himself.
"What's the status Rex?" General Skywalker asked.
"Quiet for now sir there gearing up for another assault." His eyes wandered back to the togruta who was looking around curiously. "Who's the youngling?" he asked curiously.
"I'm master Skywalkers padawan!" she snapped "the names Ahsoka Tano."
O god she's got spunk! I wonder… focus Rex! "Sir I thought you said you'd never have a padawan?" Rex asked trying to distract himself from the youngling's petite form.
"Theirs been a mix up the youngling isn't with me" the general replied.
"Stop calling me that!" Ahsoka said defiantly. "You're stuck with me sky guy." Rex laughed trying to hide it behind his gloved hand.
O god she's funny to! Stop that Rex! What's the matter with you? O great now I'm rhyming! Focus Rex focus! What did sky guy… SKYWALKERS say?
"Captain Rex will show you how a little respect can go a long way"
Lord no! "Aaa right. Come on youngling." Really Rex? Really?
"Padwan" Ahsoka mumbled.
And the earth didn't move
When you first said my name
I didn't feel a thing, no not me,
My heart didn't skip a beat
"So, Captain Rex you have an impressive set up here." Ahsoka noted as the headed off in the direction of the canons.
Lord are the sepies attacking again? He thought his steps faltering. It feels like a thermal bomb just went off… Focus Rex Focus! Were not under attack what the hell is the mater with you! "A yes sir." He replied weakly.
This aint no love song
I just felt getting my guitar on and singing a tune
Singing about you
Feeling good and tapping my shoes
It had been months since Rex first met Skywalkers new padawan and he still felt like a complete fool around her.
Lord Rex get a grip she's a kid! A little Jedi kid! So what if she's one of the most beautiful… Aaa! Stop that! Stop thinking that! She's what 14? Besides you don't like her like that! You don't! But a little nagging voice in the back of his head just wouldn't leave him in peace.
Technically your 12, technically your only 2 years apart, technically her birthmarks have got to be the cutest….
"Rah!" Rex shouted in frustration. Several other clones gave him strange looks and the Captain went back to arguing with himself.
Stop being stupid Rex you don't like her.
And all this stuff I'm making up well you probably
Won't be hearing it on the radio but then you never know
So baby if you want
You can sing along
But this ain't no love song
Rex tossed and turned in his bunk eventually giving up on trying to get some much needed rest. Whenever he closed his eyes all he saw was the generals padawan. Rex looked across the room Cody was still sleeping peacefully.
I couldn't sleep last night but you weren't on my mind.
Rex sighed; a little walk would clear his head. That's all I need. He thought. To take a walk then I'll sleep.
And I went for a drive last night but if you saw me driving by well I must've took a wrong turn I must've been thinking bout something else had a melody in my head yeah maybe that's why I couldn't sleep last night
Rex wound his way through the Resolute's long corridors lost in thought. He stopped abruptly, suddenly realizing that he had found his way to the Jedi barracks. Rex noticed the door to the padawans room was open slightly.
He knew he shouldn't have. He knew it but he couldn't seem to stop himself. Rex carefully pushed the door all the way open and looked in at the sleeping form of Ahsoka sprawled across a bunk across from Commander Offie. Rex gulped as he looked at her tiny sleeping form. Her lovely chest rising and falling slightly with each breathe.
O lord. He thought looking in. Stop it Rex! Just stop it! You don't like her. You don't…
"Captain Rex what are you doing." General Kenobi's smooth voice broke into Rex's thoughts. The Capitan cursed under his breath.
"Nothing sir!" he said quickly turning to look at the Jedi. "I was just… um… checking up on the padawans?" Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Obi wan nodded slowly but it was painfully obvious he didn't believe the excuse.
"Perhaps you should get some rest captain." The tone in his voice showing it was clearly not a request.
"Yes sir." Rex sniped and half walked half ran back down the hall.
This ain't no love song
I just felt like getting my guitar on and singing a tune,
Singing bout you, feeling good and tapping my shoes
And all this stuff I'm making up well you probably won't be hearing it on the radio
But then you never know
After his encounter with Rex Obi wan went immediately to the room he was sharing with Anakin. The man in question was lying in bed tossing slightly on his bunk.
"Padme…" he whispered.
"Anakin wake up!" Obi wan ordered his former apprentice.
"I didn't do it I swear!" Anakin shouted bolting up right in his bed.
"I know you didn't." Obi wan replied managing to sound only slightly annoyed. "Your Captain did." Anakin looked thoroughly confused.
"What'd Rex do?" he asked the red haired Jedi.
"I caught the man looking in on our padawans wile they were sleeping!" Obi wan replied. Anakin looked astonished.
"Master I think you need to relax. I know Rex. I'll give you my word as a Jedi that his intensions were nothing other than innocent… Whatever they may have been." The older Jedi looked unsure but decided not to press the issue.
"Fine." The red haired Jedi finally said rubbing his temples. "But if your captain follows rules as well as you do…" Obi wan shook his head. "Just keep an eye on him for me all right."
"Sure thing obi wan." Anakin mumbled already half asleep.
So baby if you want you can sing along
But this ain't no love song, love song, love song singing to you baby singing to you baby
All nightlong
The next morning Rex woke up to Cody standing over him.
"Aaa." He shouted in shock at his brothers close proximity. Nearly falling out of bed.
"What did you do?" Cody asked in dismay, it really was not a question. Rex looked at him confused.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Rex replied. Cody scoffed not believing it for a minute.
"Rex if you like her just go for it." The commander advised smuggle.
"I do not like the Generals padawan!" Rex replied defensively. "Besides why would I bother with some Jedi youngling? There are plenty of twileks on Corascont!" Cody waved his finger in Rex's face.
" But you don't like twilights." Cody replied flatly. "You like Togruta." Rex groaned deeply.
"I don't like her Cody!"
"Whatever." The commander said waving it off. "But Kenobi's still pissed he caught you peeping on the Padawans…"
"I was not peeping!"
"Whatever." Cody repeated giving his brother a mysterious smile. "Just next time you get the urge to watch someone sleep. Pick a barrack that doesn't have the generals padawans in it." His face turned slightly stern. "And next time you feel like watching Ahsoka sleep do it when Barriss isn't in the same room."
Yeah half this stuff I'm making up well you probably won't be hearing it on the radio
But then you never know
So baby if you want you can sing along
But this ain't no love song, love song, love song
Rex stood on the bridge next to Cody with the Jedi in front of them giving the briefing on their next mission. Cody was distracted looking at Barriss and didn't notice Rex's helmeted head tilted slightly in Ahsoka direction.
All right. He admitted to himself behind the safety of his helmet. She's hot.
This ain't no love song
