Day 18- Real Dating, but They Think it's Fake AU: Fives + Ahsoka

Fives didn't hesitate to jump up and answer the door as soon as the doorbell went off.

"I've got it!" he shouted through the house, running to answer it.

On the other side stood Anakin and Ahsoka, as expected.

"Hey guys!" Fives smiled. "You made it!"

"Was there any doubt?" Anakin smirked, giving Fives a handshake.

"We wouldn't miss gaming with you and Rex for the world!" Ahsoka said grinning.

"Speaking of which," Anakin said inviting himself in. "Where is Rex? Rex!"

"I'm setting up already!" the other boy called out.

Anakin chuckled and made his way towards the living room.

Fives beckoned for Ahsoka to come in. She eagerly obliged and slipped off her shoes.

"You still want to tell them today?" Fives asked as he grabbed her hand.

"Yep!" Ahsoka said cheerfully. "Not a doubt about it!" She squeezed Fives' hand. "As long as you're still okay with it?"

Fives nodded. "Yeah, let's go."

Waking into the living room, they found Rex and Anakin already set up and ready to go.

"What took so long?" Rex asked tossing the controllers at them. "Ready to go?"

"More ready than you are!" Ahsoka laughed, launching herself onto the couch. Fives chuckled and sat on the floor in front of her.

"You're all gonna get whooped by me today!" Fives said.

Anakin snorted. "As if."

Well into the third round, Fives looked over his shoulder at Ahsoka. She smiled and gave his shoulder a rub. "What's up?" she asked.

"Now?" he said quietly.

"Sure," Ahsoka shrugged. "Though they do seem very preoccupied trying to beat each other."

"The distraction should help lessen the shock."

Ahsoka nodded. "True."

Fives turned back around and cleared his throat. "So," he said slowly. "Ahsoka and I have something to tell you."

"It had better be serious," Rex said through clenched teeth as he tried to gain an advantage on Anakin.

"It is," Ahsoka said.

Anakin hummed, indicating his lack of belief, but Fives continued.

"Ahsoka and I are dating," he stated. Ahsoka squeezed his hand.

"As if," Rex snorted. It was followed by a muttered curse word as Anakin took another life from him.

"You know," Anakin said, somehow managing to keep his attention on the game. "That's a new prank for you. A good one, but not that good."

Ahsoka rolled her eyes. "Thanks, but it's not a prank."

"We're serious," Fives insisted.

Anakin gave a victorious cry as he won, leaving Rex groaning in defeat. Then, Anakin turned to face his sister and friend.

"I'm impressed you're trying to pull this off, but it won't work. Also, I'm gonna start becoming incredibly suspicious anytime you and Fives are planning a get together for video games," he directed at Ahsoka.

"It's not a prank!" Ahsoka said. "I promise."

"Yeah," Anakin nodded. "Just like how Padmé coming over wasn't a prank either? Well, guess what? Padmé didn't deliver that pizza!"

"Yeah, but that was priceless," Rex chuckled.

Anakin groaned. "Don't encourage them! You're suppose to be on my side!"

"I am!" Rex shouted. He turned to Fives and Ahsoka. "Seriously guys, you should drop the joke before it gets you in trouble."

"It's not a joke!"

Fives could hear the exasperation in Ahsoka's voice. He placed a hand on her knee and smiled. "I've got this."

She nodded and slowly smiled back.

"Hey Dad?" Fives called out. "Could you come here a second?"

Rex eyes widened and he stared dumbfounded at his brother. "Don't you dare try this one on Dad!" he warned. "Don't you dare."

In less than a minute, Jango Fett entered the living room. He crossed his arms and looked at his younger son. "What is it, Fives?"

Fives smiled. "Oh, well, I just wanted to let you know that Ahsoka and I are dating."

Rex and Anakin stared at him, goggling at Fives' audacity.

Jango nodded slowly and turned his attention to Ahsoka. "Is this true?" he asked simply.

Ahsoka nodded solemnly. "Yes sir. It is."

Anakin stared at her, eyes wider than Fives had ever seen.

"For how long?" Jango asked.

"2 months," Fives answered.

"No problems encountered?"

They both shook their heads.

"No, sir," Ahsoka replied.

"Very well then," Jango shrugged. "Carry on."

Ahsoka's whole face broke into a smile as he left the room. Fives grinned and squeezed her hand.

Rex's jaw might as well have been dislocated. "No way," he said. "No kriffing wa-You serious? You're serious about dating?"

Fives and Ahsoka both nodded.

Anakin shook his head. "Well, okay then, Snips. Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Ahsoka shrugged. "Fives and I agreed we'd tell you two together."

"I can't believe you're serious," Rex breathed, staring at the wall in disbelief.

Ahsoka chuckled. "No hard feelings though?"

"Yeah, no," Rex sighed. "Just disbelief."

"You'd better take good care of her though," Anakin said to Fives, waving a threatening finger at him. "You don't want me on your bad side."

"No problem," Fives nodded. "I'd protect this girl with my life."

Anakin chuckled. "Yeah, I know. The threat was just obligatory. But, you know, now I really have to propose to Padmé."

Ahsoka rolled her eyes. "You'll stay in the lead. Don't worry."

Anakin shrugged. "Better safe than sorry. And uh, no surprise babies, okay?"

Fives laughed. "We know! Don't worry."

"Both our dads are gonna give us this lecture," Ahsoka said. "You don't have to."

"I just can't believe you're being serious," Rex said, shaking his head.
