The Life and Times of Kaesoka: 7-12

A.N: Timeline setting: Set at various times after 'To Take Down an Emperor'

Side note: People asked for it, so here it is. Enjoy the Kaesoka fluff prompts. Some are full mini chapters, others just simple dialogue exchanges.

Argument

"What the kriff were you thinking?"

"What? What have I done wrong?"

"What have you done wrong… seriously Ahsoka?"

"Yes, seriously, I don't know what I've done that's so bad!"

"You visited the Sith homeworld without anyone around to support you! Why didn't you take Maul?"

"It was just a teeny tiny Sith Temple Kaeden… I was fine. Plus Maul was busy being Maul!"

"Then you should have taken Kanan or Obi-Wan with you instead rather than go alone. You know how dangerous Sith Temples are! What if you had triggered some sort of trap or gotten trapped or worse!"

"But I didn't Kaeden. I'm fine."

"Don't give me the 'oh I'm fine' speech! You walked into what could have been the most dangerous place in the galaxy all by yourself, and you expect me to be fine with that! I would have come along if you had said anything!"

"Absolutely not! I'm not having you exposed to the darkness of those places. You might not be Force Sensitive but that wouldn't keep you safe in places like that!"

"Oh! So because I can't use the Force I'm not allowed to accompany you on stuff like that! Well in that case since you don't have a doctorate, your not allowed to practise medicine!"

"What? How does that even make sense?"

"Don't try to get all technical with me Ahsoka! I'm mad at you!"

"Clearly!"

"That's it Tano! You're sleeping on the couch tonight!"

"But it's my bed! I own this property, not you!"

"Hmph!"

Door slams

"Great… just great!"

Ahsoka lays down on couch by herself.

Next morning

"Sleep well?"

"Nope. Missed my Togruta pillow"

"Is that all I am to you?"

"No… and I'm sorry for last night. I got too overprotective again."

"You mean like that time that guy was hitting on me and you broke his nose?"

"Yes, exactly like that."

"It was a good punch though, and I'm sorry too. I won't visit anymore Sith Temples without supervision."

"That's all I ask."

Differences

The soft sound of breathing near her ear was all that Kaeden could hear. She couldn't see anything, down to her eyes being shut tight, but she could still hear and feel things around her.

Alongside the sound of gentle breathing she could feel three things.

One was an ache that coursed through her entire body, one that was caused by the previous nights activities. It had taken well over a year of them together to get to this point, but last night had been the turning point for them both. What had happened would remain between them alone, but it was special for them both Kaeden could tell.

If it wasn't then she doubted that she would be waking up the way she did.

The second thing she could feel was the presence of another body in bed with her, one that was pushed her against her back, pulling her into an embrace. Cool skin pressed against her warmth, balancing each other out in the aftermath of the night before.

The third thing she could feel was that of an orange hand gently caressing a strand of her hair, feeling it's texture between the fingers and pulling on it ever so gently, careful not to hurt it's owner, but enough to elicit a reaction.

Taking that as evidence that her girlfriend was awake, Kaeden opened her eyes and began to stretch in the Togruta's arms, yawning aloud before turning over to face Ahsoka.

The Togruta in question relaxed her grip to allow Kaeden to turn around so that they were face to face, before promptly wrapping her arms back around the woman and pulling their bodies together once again, a free hand coming back up to caress Kaeden's hair once again.

Kaeden didn't know why, but Ahsoka seemed to have an odd obsession with her hair. Perhaps it was because Togruta did not have any… or perhaps there was some other reason behind all. In the end it didn't matter, and Kaeden sure as hell wasn't going to complain about it. She liked the feeling of Ahsoka running her fingers through her hair.

"You ok?" Kaeden asked softly, hoping that the answer she was going to get back was positive. The last thing she wanted was for Ahsoka to feel uncomfortable.

"Do you wish I was human instead… or a man?"

"Wha… what?" Kaeden gasped in surprise, trying not to jerk upwards out of bed in shock at Ahsoka's bizarre question.

"I just mean… I'm not human, and you're not a Togruta. I didn't know if that was a problem to you or…"

"Is it for you?" Kaeden interrupted, trying not to sound harsh with her words, but cautious that they could be taken that way.

"I meant what I said on Jedha. I don't care that you're human or female Kaeden, I just didn't know if it was an issue for you. I know some humans frown up interspecies relationships, as well as same sex ones." Ahsoka answered honestly, her hand still gently caressing Kaeden's hair in a calming manner.

Realization slowly crept into Kaeden's mind. Despite spending most of her life around humans, it seemed that Ahsoka was still unsure of every aspect of their culture. While it was certainly true that some people looked down on those they considered 'unclean', Kaeden had never been one of them, nor had her family and friends. Still… Ahsoka didn't know that, and was clearly looking for some clarification. She did like to have all the answers after all. Came from being a rebel spymaster for nearly two decades.

"Do you really think I would have spent the night with you like last night if I was opposed to it? I don't care that you are not human. I don't care what gender you are. What I do care about is your personality. That and your eyes are my favourite shade of blue."

Kaeden's comment got a soft laugh from Ahsoka, who lowered her head in embarrassment for a moment, before bringing her head back up so Kaeden could see her eyes.

"Flatterer."

"I try."

That got another soft laugh from Ahsoka, who responded by gently grabbing Kaeden's head with the hand that was in her hair and pulling her closer, placing a gentle kiss on her lips, one that Kaeden happily reciprocated.

"Ok then." Ahsoka began, "You don't mind I'm a Togruta, and I don't mind you're human. Does it bother you that I don't have hair."

This time Kaeden laughed softly before bringing one of her own hands up to gently grasp hold of the lekku that lay between them.

"Nope. Lekku are just as awesome. Got anymore question you want to ask?" Kaeden replied, gently fiddling with the tip of one of Ahsoka's lekku.

"No, not really. You?" Ahsoka responded, a warm smile on her face as she stared back into Kaeden's eyes.

A smirk came to Kaeden's face in an instant. "Only one. You up to much today?"

"Not really no. Why?"

"Well then, how about we don't get up just yet." Kaeden replied before she rolled over onto the Togruta, meeting her with a kiss in the process.

The Book

"Ahsoka. We need to talk."

"Uh oh… that's bad right?"

"Sometimes it can be yes, but not in this instance."

"Oh, good, I was worried for a second. What's up?"

"I found your book."

"Book? What book?"

"This book."

Kaeden holds up a copy of 'Dummies Guide to Romance- The Definitive Edition'.

"Why have you got a copy of this Ahsoka?"

"Oh kriff… I can explain!"

Busted - Part 1

C1-10P, or Chopper to those he supposed were his friends, was fed up.

He was fed up of being the messenger, fed up of being a mobile repair kit for someone's broken anything…

And he was fed with with being stuck on this boring base!

At least when he was out with his pilot and her crew there was adventure and explosions, as well as plenty of opportunity to mock and tease Ezra. Not only that, but there was plenty of time for Chopper to save the day, as he did most of the time. The others might not have realized it, but he was the single most important member of the Ghost crew… by his own admission of course.

That said, his pilot might support him on that statement. He was certainly more useful than the smelly Lasat after all.

However, despite the crew's penchant for trouble and adventure, today was turning into a rather boring simple one. The crew were on Yavin for some meeting of sorts with Rebel Command. Aside from that nothing was going on at the base. There were no funny antics, no one to tease or torture, and no one he actually liked talking to on a daily basis.

Mind you, the number of people he actually like talking to could be counted on a single human hand.

He supposed he could stop by the landing pads… maybe try and convince some unwitting pilot to take him for a spin for a bit. Then again, if he did that he would be betraying his pilot. He only flew with her and her crew. No one else.

Grumbling to himself, Chopper continued to move through the long halls of the Yavin Temple, barely showing any consideration for anyone in the way. More than once he ran over someone's foot, leading to the people in question cursing him as he disappeared round another corner, chuckling to himself. It was amusing enough… but not to entertain him for long. He needed something big to really make his day.

Eventually, Chopper found himself in a rather desolate portion of the Yavin Temple. There was no one around, despite the fact that the rooms he passed by were full of equipment. Understanding hit his sensors. He was in the storage section of the Temple. Perhaps he could find something he to distract him… or to cause chaos for the others.

Entering into a side room Chopper began to search. Various items stood out to him, one that even looked like a rusted and worn out lightsaber hilt. If he could somehow get that working…

'Clang'

A sudden noise distracted Chopper, putting all of his sensors on high alert. He was not alone!

Rotating his head slowly he began to search for the source of the noise. It had sounded like something had been knocked over, or dropped. It could just be a native creature, or it could be something else.

Grumbling to himself, he decided that he should probably investigate the source of the noise. It could be an unwelcome individual after all.

Rolling out of the side room he had been in, Chopper heard another clanging sound, this one coming from down the hallway he was in.

Advancing slowly down the hallway, Chopper found himself approaching what was a closed door to what he assumed was a storage closet of some kind.

However, unlike the rest of the doors in this part of the base, this one was shut.

'What the…'

Chopper knew when something was suspicious. Living around a former street rat from Lothal, as well as a Mandalorian explosive expert with a penchant for painting had left the astromech paranoid for anything that was out of place.

This closed door was out of place!

And then he heard another sound, one that would have caused his eyes to widen in both surprise and disgust, if he had any in the first place.

It was a sound that he had heard many times before, usually coming from his pilot and her Jedi during their 'private time' together.

He had seen the gesture between organics before as well, where they put their faces together and touched each others mouths… and disgustingly enough their tongues, together.

The organics called it kissing. He called it wanting to throw up oil at the mere sight!

Shuddering at the thought of the weird organic couple behaviour, Chopper heard another clang, this one coming from the sealed closet before him. This time however it was accompanied by another sound… one that disturbed him far more than the kissing one.

He was used to people gasping or groaning in pain when he pulled some hilarious prank on them, or when he ran over their feet. The sound on the other side of the door, however, was not one of pain. In fact it sounded like the exact opposite.

'Oh for the love of… if that Jedi is touching my pilot again!' Chopper swore to himself, fully expecting that the people obviously on the other side of the door were Hera and Kanan finding some time to themselves!

He knew they did this frequently on the Ghost… but in a closet in the middle or Rebel headquarters?

No doubt this was the damn Jedi's doing! He had influenced and seduced Chopper's pilot into such a disgraceful act! Oh… he'd pay. He'd pay for this!

Verbalizing his anger aloud, Chopper moved directly towards the door, opening it from a terminal by the side, before rolling in, anger radiating around him.

"Kanan Jarrus… I am going to kill…"

"What the…"

"Oh kriff!"

"I thought you locked that?!"

"I did!"

Chopper didn't know what to say. The two people before him were not Kanan and Hera. He should of known. His pilot would never be so stupid to do such a thing.

Then again, he had never expected the people before him to do such a thing either.

The site before him would be forever burned into his memory core. Orange and brown limbs were wrapped around each other, hair and lekku flailing around the place as they both moved their heads to face him, eyes wide in horror at being discovered.

The only saving grace that he had was that they both still wore some clothes… though not many. If he hadn't interrupted would they have…

Chopper shook off those thoughts immediately. He really didn't want to think about that!

"Chopper! It's not what it looks like!" The Togruta yelled in panic, her blue eyes full of embarrassment and terror. In quite the contrast the dark skinned human female merely buried her head into the Togruta's shoulder, light giggles coming from her mouth. Unlike her companion it seemed she found some enjoyment at being discovered in such a situation.

The Togruta however did not, not by the way she tried desperately to pull away from the human female, only for said human to keep her in her embrace.

Despite staring at the situation before him for several moments, Chopper still could not believe his sensors.

Perhaps… just perhaps if he left now he could forget all about this discovery… forget that it had ever happened.

Or better yet, pretend it had never happened in the first place.

Slowly, he began to move backwards, his wheels carrying him back out of the closet.

Glancing towards the control port for the door, Chopper laughed aloud. Time for him to have some fun now. If these two wanted to have private time in a closet, then he would make them.

Extending his arm forward, he plugged into the terminal and closed the door, locking it from the outside.

On the other side of the door, he heard the human burst out in hysterics whilst the Togruta began to pound on the door with her hands, expletives coming through in her native language.

Laughing to himself again, Chopper decided it was time to leave. He'd have to tell someone about them being here so they could get out, but that didn't mean he couldn't enjoy the moment for now. It was after all fitting punishment. If they were going to do such a thing in a public place, then he would ensure that no one else would have their mind scared the way he did.

Rolling off down the hall, Chopper began his search for an unwitting fool to open the door he had sealed. Perhaps this day would not be so boring after all.

Busted - Part 2

'Bzzz. Bzzz.'

"Tano here."

"Ahsoka, it's Kanan. We need to talk."

"Oh, hey Kanan. What's up?"

"So Chopper just came to tell me and Hera something very important about your recent visit to Yavin."

"Oh no!"

"Oh yes! Chop said, and I quote, 'Commander Tano and Doctor Larte were in the utility cupboard together making babies.'"

"Kriff!"

"Ahsoka… just tell me one thing. Is it true? Were you and Kaeden doing personal business in a utility cupboard?"

"Well I… it, you see.."

"Ahsoka?"

"It's wasn't like that, it just happened Kanan! Kinda got lost in the moment. Does anyone else know?"

"Think Chop might have told Cassian…, who told Kallus… who told Rex."

"Damnit!"

"So it's true then?"

"Yeah, it's true."

"In that case, I've only got one thing to say to you."

"And that is?"

"High five!"

"... wait what?"

Visit

Kaeden hated paperwork… she really did… even if it was a vital part of her new job.

Still, it had to be done, and it could have been a hell of a lot worse. At least paperwork was peaceful, which was not something she usually had when working shifts in one of Alderaan's most prestigious hospitals.

It was only her first week on the job mind you, but aside from the paperwork she had enjoyed the challenge, and enjoyed putting her training to good use.

"So… first week is almost done. Gotta say, the big bosses are really impressed with you Kaeden. They think you'll fit in here just fine." A voice distracted Kaeden momentarily drawing her attention to the human woman who was standing before her.

"Thanks Kas. Good to be of help." Kaeden replied to her new colleague, a woman who had pretty much taken her under her wing the second she had arrived. Kas had been working at the hospital for years, and clearly knew her way around. She was also pleasant company when sitting together at the reception desk for their ward. Kaeden was glad to have found a friend.

"You've done more than help, believe me. And it's nice to have someone to talk to who doesn't spend most of the time hitting on me!" Kas responded, humour in her voice as she gestured across the ward to a human male who was reading a nearby holo-display of information.

"Zi is pretty persistent, I'll give him that." Kaeden replied, rolling her eyes as she remembered the way he had approached her when she had started, introducing himself as some sort of ladies man.

Luckily for him, Kaeden knew when someone was being sarcastic. Zi didn't really think of himself that way, and his introduction was done mainly in jest.

That didn't stop him from constantly flirting however, something that seemed to get on the nerves of the female staff members around the hospital ward.

Kaeden hadn't been too bothered by it, though that was mainly due to who she had waiting for her at home every day when she had finished her shift. Coming home to find a freshly prepared warm meal was bliss, as was the greeting she always received. There was nothing like a good hug at the end of a busy day to take the stress away.

"He seems to have taken a liking to you? What do you think? He's a nice guy really." Kas spoke next, eyebrows raised with obvious intent and meaning.

"Nah! Not really my type." Kaeden replied, shuffling the paperwork she had before her into a neat pile. "Besides, I'm already taken."

"Oh really?!" Kas' response was one of direct interests, her eyes widening at Kaeden's admission. Truthfully, Kaeden hadn't spoken much about her personal life. It wasn't that she was ashamed of her relationship, far from it in fact, it was just that there was little time to actually talk about such things whilst trying to save peoples lives.

Being a doctor was busy work after all.

"Well hello there, how can we help you?" Zi's voice suddenly echoed across the reception desk, causing Kaeden to sigh again as she picked up another stack of paper.

"Is he flirting with another patient again?"

"Looks like it. Though could just be a visitor." Kas replied instantly, watching Zi greet the newcomer.

Shaking her head, Kaeden decided to focus on her paperwork instead. Either the new arrival would punch Zi in the face, or flirt back. Either way she didn't care.

At least, she didn't until she heard the new arrival speak in a very familiar voice.

"Uh, yeah. Is there a Doctor Kaeden Larte here?"

Kaeden was up out of her seat in an instant, moving towards the reception desk with her own eyes widened at the sight of the Togrutan woman, who for some reason was holding a bouquet of flowers.

"Ahsoka? What are you doing here?" Kaeden asked, pleased at the way Ahsoka's face brightened into a wide smile upon seeing her.

"Oh, you know. I was in the neighborhood. Thought I'd stop by." The Togruta replied, stepping forward to meet Kaeden as she exited from behind the desk and engulfed the Togruta in a tight hug, before pulling back to gently kiss her.

"I thought you were waiting for me at home?" Kaeden questioned, pulling back out of the embrace as far as Ahsoka would let her. The Togruta still held onto her hand however, squeezing it softly yet tightly at the same time.

"I was, but then I thought it would be good to book a table for us at a nearby restaurant for the night. Not had a night out in a while after all… and you deserve it after working all week. Oh, these are for you as well." Ahsoka explained, handing over the bouquet of flowers in the process, which Kaeden happily took and inhaled the smell of.

"Thanks, these are great. And I can't wait till our meal." Kaeden replied, leaning forward to kiss her girlfriend once again, a gesture that Ahsoka reciprocated.

"Ohhhh, so this is what you meant by 'not your type'. See Zi… not everyone thinks you're Mr Attractive!" Kas interrupted, shooting a smirk over at the male, who shook his head in mock despair.

"Oh woe is me. Beaten by a Togruta! Still, worthy foe to lose out to." Zi replied, winking toward both Kaeden and Ahsoka in jest.

"Hey… she's mine!" Kaeden replied teasingly, joy filling her at the pleased look on Ahsoka's face.

Sighing happily, Kaeden moved back behind the reception counter, fully intending on packing up for the day.

She could already tell that tonight was going to be a good night.

Author's thoughts

Well... there we go. Part 2 of the Kaesoka fluff drabbles. Hope you liked it. XD

Hopefully you've all enjoyed the evolution of their relationship thus far. It's fun to plop the two of them in different scenarios to see what I can come up with. I'm willing to bet that 'Busted Parts 1 and 2' have a few fans. Those were some of my favorites to write because they were so obscene.

I also hope you that guys don't mind some of these drabbles just being dialogue. Sometimes I feel that suits them better, especially when it is a quick and easy idea like the book or the argument. I tried to make it clear who was speaking. Let me know if it wasn't thought and I'll edit the future ones to be a bit clearer.

Not much else to say about these really. More drabbles to come. Guess I'll move onto there comments now. :)

jojobinks01: A sequel is never out of the question, it's just a case of having a story to tell for it. I don't want to create a story for the sake of it. For now the one hsots serve to continue the story of the Rebels AU whilst I focus on my other big story. :)

SWGoji2001: Lighthearted Kaesoka fluff? That's the plan! Gotta balance things out again after you know who did you know what! XD
I thought you might like drunk Ahsoka. That was a fun one to write, but hard at the same time as I don't drink myself so I have no idea what it is like to be drunk. I just made it up as I went along. XD

Erukat: Glad you enjoyed the lightheartedness of them. I knew drunk Ahsoka would be everyone's favorite so I'm glad you liked it. XD
Hoped you enjoyed this batch just as much.

Idybugdsigns: Hey, no worries about being late to the party as they say. Your welcome to join in and read whenever you want.
I'm glad you enjoyed Rebels. It's an awesome show that is underrated next to The Clone Wars. Both shows are awesome, but Rebels just has something special going for it I find. Personal opinion of course. :)
Kanan was my favorite character in the show so his demise hurt me pretty badly as well. I chose to keep him alive in this crazy AU I created to compensate. Plus who doesn't want to see space-dad trying to raise his kids. If only canon had allowed him to. :)
Seasons 1 and 2 were very good I agree. I like season 1 more than 2 but they are both enjoyable. All of the show is really. Shame more people won't watch it. Oh well, their loss. :)
Hope you continue to enjoy the one shots I've written so far. I love writing them and seeing what people think of them.
