Chapter XIII

Holozine Reading

What was going on between them? Rex asked himself for the hundredth time. Here he was sitting next to her reading out of a holozine, well really it was her turn to read and he was just listening. She had such an interesting way of reading out loud, she kept changing her voice tone when ever the person talking in the article changed, it was a talent he never knew she had.

He noticed one other thing about sitting next to her in such a relaxed way was that it felt normal, right even. However why that was, was beyond him. Then after looking around he on an impulse casually put his arm around her, to his great relief she leaned into his arm while she kept reading, he felt a swarm of happiness and nervousness in his stomach at the same time as well as a huge temptation to punch the air with his fist. This was so utterly comfortable!

"Rex," she waved her hand in front of his face, "Are you in there?"

He had been wrapped up in this feeling that he didn't even hear notices that she had stopped reading.

"What were you thinking so deeply about just now?"

"Honestly sir, I was thinking that this feels way to right and normal for it not to mean something more. Ahsoka I think… I know I care about you more than I thought I did."

Ahsoka sighed she leaned her head on his shoulder, "How much do you care about me then?"

"Ahsoka, I don't think we should go there. You're a Jedi and I'm a Captain in the GAR."

"Rex, I care about you as well and I don't want these things unsaid any longer even if we can't act on any of it. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Alright then, Ahsoka Tano, I love you."

"I love you to Rex." she gave a little grin, "I wish you had a last name."

Rex laughed, "I guess I'll have to come up with one then won't I?"

Ahsoka snuggled closer to him, "It's your turn to read."

"Right."

After he finished he glanced down at her, "So, I'll you wanted was us to admit our feeling towards each other, nothing more?"

"It like you said earlier," she turned her face towards his, "I'm a Jedi and you're in the GAR, what else could we expect of each other?"

"How about this?" he brought his lips to rest gently on hers in a light kiss.

He felt her returning the kiss and for the second time that day he felt the urge to punch his fist into the air. She pulled back, and his heart sank into his boots.

"I don't think so, even if I'm tempted to let you do just that, do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Yes I do sir. I think it will almost be harder knowing that you care for me in a way you care about no one else."

"I'm so sorry Rex. I think I should be meditating right now." With that she walked out of the room.

Rex let out a long sigh knowing that she would never just be his commander again, and that he'd lay down his life or even his job if she'd just give the word.

Yep it really was their first kiss, and I've started the next chapter already I'm hoping thats a good
