Rexwalker but it’s that one scene from httyd 2 between Valka and Stoic.
Takes place in an AU where Anakin doesn’t turn and they cross paths either when Rex is w/ the bad batch or when he’s w/ the ghost crew. (Do not ask me how this affects the continuity it’s 2/3am brain rot, enjoy.) (reworded to fit the ship)
———————
Rex: I know what you're going to say, Anakin. How could I have done this? Turned on everyone so quick. And why didn't I come back after? Once my chip was removed.
Well, what sign did I have that you were alive, Anakin? That anyone survived after the order went out?
I didn’t want to fight you or anybody, I wanted to go against the chip, but my body wouldn’t listen.
I know that I betrayed you and then left... but I thought you’d be better off without me. And maybe that was wrong, I see that now, but...
Why are you so calm, Anakin! Go on... SHOUT, SCREAM, SAY SOMETHING!
*Anakin cupping Rex’s face with his hand.*
Anakin: You're as beautiful as the day I lost you
