35. "You heard me. Take. It. Off."

Fives stood there dumbfounded. Since when had Rex become so protective of him? Seriously, he was acting like a mother hen. Fives sighed underneath his helmet at the order.

Taking off the helmet to show the captain the head wound he cocked an eyebrow. Rex stood in front of him anger, concern, and fear all in his stance and eyes as he watched the ARC.

"Rex I'm fine it's just a little head wound. Kix doesn't need to look at it when he's got other troopers on his hands," the last domino sighed his eyes tired and full of grief.

The loss of Echo had hit Fives hard and Rex had seem to jump to Fives' side immediately. The ARC had been very unstable the first week of Echo's death. Rex had even saved Fives from going into a suicidal state.

Rex moved closer to Fives to look at the wound grabbing the ARC by his neck. A complaining yelp was all that left Fives' mouth as Rex examined the wound. A growl erupted from Rex's throat as he pushed Fives back into a standing position.

"Go see Kix about it. Now, soldier."

"Rex I'm-"

"Fives do not make me drag you there," Rex warned looking at his ARC.

"...you couldn't even if you wanted to," Fives snorted after looking Rex directly in the eye.

Rex was silent. Deathly silent. Rex growled before grabbing the ARC by his armor pulling him into a kiss catching the ARC off guard. Fives was in shock his eyes wide. His eyes fluttered lightly as he leaned into the kiss. A whine escaped his lipsas
Rex pulled back.

Rex smirked against Fives' lips before pushing him straight into Kix. Kix being the over protective medic he was went into full medic mode dragging Fives away. Fives didn't even mind cause the blush on his cheeks was the bigger problem to him, and
/the fact that Rex had managed to pull one over on him. AGAIN.

Fives stayed silent throughout the whole process that Kix made him go through. His thoughts trailed to Rex during the check up and his cheeks burned bright red at the thought of his captain. Kriff him. Kriff his stupid captain.
