AN: Hello my Dear Readers! I'm back from my first year of university! It's been a crazy year and things were much more intense and busy then I expected. Thank you to my loyal readers and followers for keeping up with me through the semester hiatuses and all the suggestions that give me plenty of ideas to come back to! Here's a new chapter, a suggestion from Millie! I hope you guys enjoy the first chapter of the summer! I hope to write a lot, but I also have camps and a job this summer so I may not update as much as I normally do on breaks.

Rex considered himself a generally amiable person off the battlefield; not one to pick fights or hold grudges. He got along with all his men and there were rivalries between units but they respected each other. So when Rex saw Lux Bonteri and Ahsoka with each other in the middle of the Onderonian jungle he was surprised at the anger that he had to tamp down almost immediately. He chastised himself for his unprofessional feelings on a battlefield, and especially the mess of a battlefield he found himself in. He knew about Lux Bonteri of course, Ahsoka had told Rex about him, the time on Raxus and Carlacc, and Anakin had asked Rex to keep a covert eye on the two of them. If it were up to Rex he would take the boy aside and scare some sense into him and keep him far away from Ahsoka for all the trouble he had already gotten her into… His Commander. He watched as the young woman, Steela, also seemed to be watching the two of them with her own anger. When things finally seemed to pan out between the three young people, Rex was secretly glad that it no longer seemed that Ahsoka held any serious feelings for the Bonteri boy. However, even this surprised him, that he could feel so protective and dare he say….. Jealous, over who Ahsoka was attached to. And he'd be lying if he didn't feel pride when she found him out with her gaze and smiled at him.

Being a Jedi Ahsoka was not use to strong emotions such as jealousy so she assumed she was immune to them. So when she was out walking around in the marketplace on Coruscant with Barris, and saw Rex with a pretty orange twi'lek on his arm, she couldn't understand the burning she felt in her gut. The girl was wearing thin, tight fitting clothes, and leaning heavily on Rex's arm giggling obnoxiously. Ahsoka stopped in the middle of the street and even Barris was confused as her tense posture and clenched hands. Ahsoka stood there watching as Rex lead the girl down a side street without even noticing her. The rest of their outing was spent in tense silence as Ahsoka was too preoccupied by her thoughts after witnessing what she saw. She has believed that Rex was more honorable than that and she couldn't understand the anger and disappointment she felt and feeling different. When the 501st left for another mission the entirety of Torrent Company were thrown for a loop when there was an unknown icy silence between the Captain and Commander, they weren't speaking to each other outside of necessity and stayed far away from each other.

Rex found Ahsoka out after the mission on Onderon.

"How's the shoulder?" He gestured to her bacta bound wound

Ahsoka answered lightly "Sore, but healing." She shrugged her uninjured shoulder and patted the empty space next to her.

Rex accepted the seat and for awhile they sat in silence.

"You did good out there." Rex complimented his friend "You finished their training well."

A humorous laugh escaped the other "Really? Cause it felt thrown together and sloppy, certainly nothing you would have been proud of."

"I beg to differ, you used what you had and pulled out a great victory. Even that Bonteri boy shaped up." Rex added that last part with a hint of contempt

A wry grin upturned the corners of Ahsoka's lips "Rex, is that contempt, or even dare I say, jealousy for Lux?"

Rex startled for a second. "Jealous, of a boy who could barely hold a blaster properly and tried to fight with words against an army of brainless mechanical killing droids." He laughed at the ridiculousness

"Of course. The great Captain Rex would never be jealous, such emotions are beneath him." Ahsoka laughed sarcastically

Rex crossed his arm defensively "Exactly."

"Thanks Rexster." Ahsoka nudged her partner with her uninjured shoulder. "And just so you know, I'm over Lux now."

"Like I should care if you like the overgrown boy child or not." Rex grunted, although strangely and immensely pleased by her admission.

Ahsoka nudged him again "Of course you don't."

After nearly three weeks of tense silence between Rex and Ahsoka, the rest of Torrent was sick of it and could barely stand it. So they devised a plan to lock the two in a room until they killed each other or worked things out. Fives was sent to find Rex under the pretense of a mission planning session while Tup was sent under the same pretense to find Ahsoka and send her to the same conference room, only a few minutes behind Rex and Fives. When Tup and Ahsoka reached the room, she stopped at the entrance and Fives and Tup had to nudge her in before slamming the door control shut and locking it.

"You just realized we shoved our Commander into a room and locked her in it with the one person she's been avoiding for weeks, right?" Tup recapped with Fives

"Eh, hopefully, if all goes right, she won't be too mad at us." Fives replied nonchalantly "But if things go bad we should probably avoid her for a few weeks ourselves." He added

"Great."

Inside the room there was a mounting tension that could be felt by both parties.

"I guess by the way I was shoved into the room and the fact that we're now locked in, I'm going to assume this is not a mission planning meeting." Ahsoka crossed her arms over her chest and shifted her weight to one leg.

"I guess not." Rex replied evenly "I guess they're trying to make us work things out."

"Obviously." Ahsoka snorted and rolled her eyes.

Silence reigned for a while again and neither moved from their positions on opposite sides of the room.

"Ahsoka, I think we should talk." Rex sighed "Whatever is going on between us needs to stop. It's starting to affect our work as a team."

Ahsoka shifted her weight to her other leg and lifted her head "Fine then, you talk."

Rex resisted the urge to sigh and pinch the bridge of his nose in frustration "If I knew what the problem was I would try and do something to fix it. But I have no idea what is going on."

"You don't. Perhaps we don't have as strong of a partnership than I thought." Ahsoka clenched her crossed hands and her anger got the better of her when she lashed out "Perhaps you prefer the partnership and company of someone prettier, like that girl from the market."

Rex blinked for a second and processed her outburst. "Has this contention all been because of the girl I walked home in the market a few weeks ago?"

Ahsoka held her hand stubbornly in the air.

"Ahsoka, I walked her home because some scum in the market were harassing her. I pretended to be her boyfriend to get her home safe. That is it. Nothing more. Please tell me you aren't jealous of a girl I can't even remember the name of." He did run a hand over his buzzed hair as he spoke

Ahsoka's head dipped slightly "Jedi are not suppose to feel jealousy."

Rex face twisted in wryness "Just like they're not suppose to feel love."

A faint blush highlighted the blue stripes of her montrals and her stance became less defensive but she said nothing.

Rex approached her and laid a friendly hand on her shoulder "Let's go get some grub before everyone else cleans the place out."

Ahsoka waved her hand over the lock and the door opened for them and the two departed towards the mess hall… together.

AN: Again I apologize for how long this chapter has been in the making. I hope this is what you were looking for Millie! Please send me ideas because my muse is still dead from two semesters of writing college essays and is on break from giving me original ideas. Please read and review!
