And another drabble! I'm writing this at 1:28 AM, oh goodness...no wonder I'm always tired. XD Ah, well - the second I'm finished writing this, I'll sleep.
This was requested by a guest reviewer who wanted Rex and Ahsoka, aged 18, to talk to each other in Southern California. Modern day AU, obviously. Rather specific, I know, but I think I had fun writing this.
Enjoy!
Plot - [Modern day AU] At age eighteen, Rex thinks it's high time to tell Ahsoka Tano how he truly feels about her. Ahsoka, strangely enough, is thinking the same thing.
xXx
Southern California was a nice place with nice people and filled with tourist attractions, including beaches.
Which was where Rex and Ahsoka Tano were right now. The two were sitting on the sand, only a few inches away from the curling waves of seawater. Sometimes, the waves would get so far to touch the two's feet.
During this entire time, Rex snuck a glance at Ahsoka. Her blonde and blue-streaked hair (don't ask,) was carelessly tied up into two separate braids, which most people would find childish-looking, but Rex thought it looked just fine. Then again, he would probably say that if Ahsoka walked to him wearing a large, glittery, purple Mickey Mouse lunch box over her head, because that was just how Rex felt.
And Rex had been feeling that way for about a year now, ever since he saw Ahsoka during their freshmen year together in the Universtiy of Southern California. So, now Rex and Ahsoka were eighteen years old - and even at this age, Rex kept feeling his stomach doing flip-flops around Ahsoka.
"Rexter? You in there?" Ahsoka asked suddenly, flicking Rex on the arm. He blinked and looked down. Ahsoka grinned. "There he is!" She said enthusiastically. "I've been wondering why you went quiet."
"I was thinking." Rex found himself saying. Ansoka crossed her legs. "Really?" She asked, interested. "About what?"
"About you." Rex said suddenly and that was it - the ball was rolling, just like that. "I like you." Now that Rex actually said those words, he figured it sounded a bit quick - after all, what girls would like to hear a boy say, "I-want-to-go-to-the-beach-and-now-I'm-quiet-I'm-thinking-I-think-you're-cute"?
Rex was still inwardly beating himself up when Ahsoka said, "Really?"
"Really." Rex replied quietly. "We've been friends for a while and I think you're...kind. Understanding. Funny. Amazing." He took a breath and braved a smile. "So, why not?"
Surprisingly, a grin spread across Ahsoka's face. She rested her head on Rex's shoulder and replied quietly, "Well, in that case...I think you're wonderful, too, Rexter. Compassionate and awkward and lovable and toughened up all at the same time." Ahsoka poked Rex's arm.
"So...why not? I like you, too, Rexter."
A/N - I tried. XD
