Day 2- Bartender AU: Ahsoka + Rex

Ahsoka waved to the couple leaving the bar and wished them a goodnight.

The rest of the customers were regulars who she knew would be leaving soon.

Except for one man.

He was sitting by himself at the edge of the bar, slumped over, somehow still conscious.

Ahsoka knew she'd already given him at least his third drink, but she was pretty sure it was more. Regardless, the man wasn't sober, and hadn't been for at least a couple hours now. And, now, if she wasn't mistaken, he was asking for another drink.

Ahsoka sighed and flung her towel over her shoulder. She had no clue how the man would react to being told he couldn't have another drink, but she had to try. Chances were, whatever he was drinking over wasn't worth the liver damage.

Hands on hips, Ahsoka stood in front of the blond man. "Need anything?" she asked, trying her best not sound concerned for his life.

He stared blearily at her and pointed at his empty glass. "'nother un," he mumbled.

Ahsoka pursed her lips. "No," she breathed out. "I don't think so. Seems to me, you've had enough. Sir, you should go home."

The man glared at her, but didn't say anything else. Instead, he laid his head down on the counter.

Ahsoka sighed and leaned forward, placing her hands close to his head. "Look, I could call a cab to pick you up, or if there's someone you can call to pick you up, that would be good too. But we should be closing sooner rather than later, and you need rest."

The man muttered something incoherent, frustrating Ahsoka further. It was tempting just to walk away, but it wasn't as though she had much else to do.

"Should I call you a cab?" she asked, her tone reminding her of how one would speak to a child.

"No," the man managed to grunt.

"Is there someone else I can call then for you?" she offered crossing her arms.

"Yea…" he mumbled. He sat up and felt around for a wallet, finally managing to clumsily pull it out.

He opened it and pulled out a picture of him and another man. Ahsoka examined the picture. It was likely his brother. And, it was a nice picture, but not very helpful.

"And who would that be?" Ahsoka sighed, trying her best to be patient with the man.

"Cody," he said. "You can call 'im."

"How?" she prompted. "Can I have his number or…?"

The man stared at her for a moment, and Ahsoka wasn't even sure if he had processed what she said to him. She raised her eyebrows and was about to speak again when he pulled out his phone.

"Call Cody," he mumbled.

"You'll have to unlock it," Ahsoka said pointing to the device on the table.

He did as he was told.

With sigh, Ahsoka picked up the phone and immediately went to the contacts list. It didn't take long to find Cody's name and she clicked it, ready to call.

She flung her hair around to her other shoulder and put the phone to her ear. It rung once, then twice, then…

"Hello, Rex?" The voice came through clear and sounded very similar to the man before her.

"Um, no," Ahsoka said. "I'm assuming this is Cody? Cody Fett?" She was pretty sure that was the name. And it sounded familiar from the blond haired man's ID.

"Yes…" the man on the other end sounded hesitant. "Who is this?"

"My name is Ahsoka Tano," she responded. "I'm a bartender at 79's and your brother Rex is sitting in front of me quite intoxicated."

She heard something that sounded like swearing as she finished. "He said I could call you," she continued. "You should come pick him up."

"Alright," Cody sighed. "I'll be there soon. I'm really sorry about this. He had a recent break up, pretty bad. I'm sorry to say his coping abilities aren't the best."

Ahsoka shrugged. "Don't think it's my first time seeing it. But, I'd appreciate it if you hurried. I'll stay with him until you get here."

"Thank you. I'll see you soon."

The line cut and Ahsoka hung up, handing the phone back to Rex.

"Well," she sighed, leaning forward onto the counter. "You've certainly got a good brother watching your back. You're lucky."

Rex grunted and put his things away before putting his head down again.

Ahsoka shook her head and stood up straight. Really, she hated seeing these things. Maybe it was time she switched jobs.
