Curate, connect, and discover
A tiny bit longer than the last one, and one of my favorites. Enjoy!
Day 2: Some Like it Hot
Ahsoka wandered the halls of Chopper Base. She was agitated. Commander Sato had asked her to stay for a few days. She had meditated, done her katas, taught Ezra a few tricks, and it was only the first afternoon. Then she felt a familiar presence reenter the base, along with Zeb.
She ran into Zeb first.
"He's in one of the break rooms." Zeb told her when she asked. "We just got off a supply run."
It took two or three break rooms to finally find Rex. He was leaning back in his chair, studying a datapad. He had a glass of something in his hand.
He saw her and his eyes crinkled with pleasure. She smiled back.
"Good to see you, Commander." He said, setting down his data pad.
"How was the supply run?" She asked as she took a seat next to him.
She studied his features. Even with his accelerated aging, he was still so handsome. His jaw was still strong, and his eyes still sparkled with affection when he looked at her.
"Good." Rex said. "Nothing to complicate things."
"That's good." Ahsoka said. "What's that you're drinking?"
Rex looked down at the light brown liquid.
"Some new fangled way to drink caf." He said. "Iced caf. Zeb told me to try it. It's pretty good."
"Cold caf?" Ahsoka said, wrinkling her nose.
Rex took another swig of it.
"It's better than you'd think." He said. "Here, why don't you give it a try?"
He offered the glass to her. Ahsoka glanced between the drink and his face. His lips glistened with the remains of his last drink.
What the hell. Ahsoka thought.
She leaned forward, past the proffered cup, and kissed Rex. As she expected, his lips tasted of the caf. Even sweeter was his sharp intake of breath and the wide eyed look on his face when she broke away.
"Mmm." Ahsoka said. "I think I prefer normal caf."
Rex's jaw worked silently and he stared at her. Ahsoka grinned and leaned in to kiss him again.
Her comm went off and she cursed silently.
"Commander Sato needs me." She said with a sigh. "Well, I'll see you later, Rex."
He made an unintelligible noise.
The next day, when Ahsoka came into the mess hall, Rex was drinking normal caf.
