Curate, connect, and discover
I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED TO BAKE FOR THE WOLFPACK NO ACTUALLY THE ENTIRE GAR.
@moonlightwarriorqueen what do you meannn they don’t get cookies??? My inner grandma WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS.
(Academically I know they’d only have rations but the boys deserve all the sweet things forever)
I know you warned us about the levels of cute in this but I’m biting the bars of my enclosure because of the adorable-but I love them so much and soft!Wolffe is the literal icing on the cake.
Okay so, confession time!
This was originally a fic for Wolffe (with a different title) but Comet fucking took over by storm like the monsters inc swat 💀 so I wrote it all...but then it was weird cuz there's all this Comet in Wolffe's fic 😅 So I split them, gave Comet's a new title and BAM! Here we are.
Fingers crossed I can fix the Wolffe parts into what was supposed to be his fic 🤣
Warnings: cuteness overload. Wolffe being playful with his bby bro...? Comet stealing your fucking heart cuz he's a cutie patootie
Life was simple, albeit a little boring, nothing extraordinary came your way. Every day, week, month and year came and went like the last - sure there were a few small differences. Friendships that came and went, hobbies that flitted by...but ultimately...life was just a set of actions and events set on repeat.
But then war came.
Suddenly everyone and their grandmother were speaking about the battles, the carnage and of hatred. Hate for the other side...and hate for the soliders that were part of the now established army of the republic. It was jarring at first, but your life wasn't much disrupted...until one night.
You were closing up from a day of work, shop void of customers, the bewing stations and ovens no longer thumming loudly...it was then that you ran into something most jedi now saw everyday.
A clone trooper.
He seemed a little frazzled, as he waved at you enthusiastically from the glass door, though it was hard to tell with his helmut on.
Strangely, you had no unease or fear...so you made your way to the locked door and opened it a crack
"...yes...? I'm sorry we're closed" You said politely
"Ah, I'm sorry...I got seperated from my brothers..." the clone laughed sheepishly "And my comm isnt functioning properly. Could I use the store's? I...need to call them to come get me"
You stared at him for a moment, debating on what to do...but found yourself letting him in - your heart going out to him over the nervous tone vibrating through his helm.
"Thank you so much...!" He breathed a sigh of releif.
The trooper followed you in and right to the communication device the store had, promptly removing his helmut and pressing buttons.
He was young, you noticed, probably relatively new to the war and his armour, while painted, seemed absolutely flawless. It's design was an intricate sweeping of lines, something you'd seen in pinstriping artist's work.
"-I'm at...one second," he leaned his head away from the device and whispered to you "Where am i?"
With a soft smile, at his confused boyish attitude, you walked over to say loud enough for the clone across the line could hear.
"Mid levels, the place is called 'Caf and cookies'. We're up the street from that seedy old theatre" you then leaned a bit more into his space to make sure his brother heard your directions as you gave him the formal address
"Alright, Comet. Stay put, I'll come get you" Came the exhausted sounding reply
"Yes, sir"
Just as the call was ending, you could hear another clone in the background
"Did our Vod'ika finally answer?!"
The two of you stepped away from the comm. As you did, you turned to the trooper, Comet, before you
"So...new on this planet...?"
"Unfortunately...my brothers thought it was a good idea to go to 79s to celebrate...and I may have tripped and fell...a few levels... into the back of a speeder" Comet mumbled embaressed "This place is very different than Kamino"
You only smiled and gestured him to a stool as you continued to clean up, then offered him a drink and one of the handful of cookies left over
"Sorry they're not fresh, but they are from today" you called as you yanked a mop from the cupboard
"We don't ever get cookies, so...as far as I'm concerned, this is the best they'll ever be" He beamed excitedly
You laughed softly, though saddened by his remark, and made your way back over to the mop
"Wait, wait! Let me do it!" Comet jumped up, cookie crumbs on his lips
"Oh...uh...it's alright, I can do this" You said softly with a touch of surprise from his eagerness
"No way! You've helped me so much already, its my turn to help you back!" he pleaded with glittering eyes
Who were you to refuse?
"Alright, so we just dunk this end into the bucket-"
When Wolffe arrived at your establishment he wasn't quite sure what to do at first.
You were sitting on a stool, knees pulled up tight as you balanced carefully, while you laughed and spoke to his baby brother. He only intended to knock, wait for Comet to run over then yell a 'thank you' to you before dragging the young man away. But now, as he stood watching the two of you, he felt unable to pry you two apart. He'd been worried about Comet's quiet demeanor since setting foot off the battlefeild. And yet...here he was, watching some random woman getting his little brother to laugh and be playful. You were doing what his entire batallion hadn't been able to.
But soon enough, whatever little spell had kept you and Comet contained to a happy little bubble popped. Having been spotted, Wolffe gave an awkward hand up in acknowledgement before you rushed to let him in
"I'm so sorry...!" you rushed out in an embaressed fluster "I should have been paying attention"
"'ts fine, I was a little distracted watching you two have fun" he mumbled, such a phrase seemingly for your ears only
"Why don't you come in? I'll put together the rest of the cookies and you two can share" You offered, feeling a bit of heat travel to your cheeks.
The commander glanced to Comet, to see a sheepish grin and the trooper setting the mop against the wall carefully, then returned his gaze to you. Wolffe studied you for a moment, taking stock of what he could of you, but relented with a slight nod as he saw only sincere kindness in your gaze
"Perfect, just give me a moment!" You scurried back into the kitchen, leaving the two alone
"So...learning to mop?" Wolffe jabbed with a stern kind of playfulness
"Ah, yes sir...I felt bad...ya know, with her gifting so much assitance and not giving anything in return" Comet stood straight as a needle as he spoke, but Wolffe made note of the colour tinting his brother's cheeks
The commander shook his head then patted his Comet's shoulder
"It was good to see you loosening up, we were all wondering if the battlefield had stomped you out for good"
The two were quiet for a moment. Just existing in the quiet before you came barrelling through the doors with a box done up with a bow
"Are those ours?" Comet gawked
"You...didn't need to do this...really" Wolffe mumbled, watching you make your way to them both
"Nonsense, I can't eat all these myself..." you teased softly
You took Wolffe's gloved hand and settled the small box in his palm
"And...." you glanced at your new buddy "I put the address and comm of the shop, as well as my personal one. Should you get lost..." you then glanced back to the older of the two "and should you lose him again."
"Really, this is too much..."
"Just in case" you smiled, showing them out "I have a feeling this won't be the last time someone shows up here"
And it wasn't.
Perhaps it was the force that dictated that poor Comet get lost again... Perhaps the force decided that afterwards Comet would go out of his way to retreat to you, inevitably bringing his big brother along to collect him again and again. As such, you came to expect your little oddities in your days and nothing brought you more joy then the sound of fabric-covered knuckles rasping against the glass in the same little pattern that only Comet would ever omit.
"Lost again...?" you teased as you stepped back and let the young trooper into the closed shop.
"Actually...not this time" he smiled, bucket under his arm as he nervously ran his hand back and forth over his scalp
You eyed him curiously, but waited for him to continue at his own place
"Was wonderin'...maybe...this time..." he mumbled with pink dusting his cheeks "Maybe instead of you finding me...I steal you...?"
You felt your lips twich and scrawl open as you couldnt help beaming at his sweet words
"Are you...asking me on a date...?" you taunted playfully
"No..." he glanced away, but his gaze only left you for a moment or two "I'm asking if i can steal you...for the night"
You let him squirm in place for a few moments before you ultimately gave in and let out a giggle.
Nodding, you turned around and ran back into your shop. You threw the mop haphazardly into the closet then all but slammed your hand down on the light switches before you rushed back to the door with your sweater in hand.
Comet chuckled at your actions but otherwise just watched you with a lovestruck look on his face and dopey grin to match it.
"Steal me away" you urged in a coo, holding your arm out for him to snag
Instead, he wrapped his arm around your middle and hugged you tightly
"You sure...?" he whispered softly, lips just brushing your cheek
"Absolutely...I'm all yours" you promised sweetly in return.
Unprepared for the sheer level of excited bliss oozing from him, you squeaked as Comet held you tightly and spun you one, twice, thrice around before setting your feet back on the ground
"Let's go! The night's young...and I can't wait to spend every moment with you!"
It was then that you truly realized...your life would be nothing but happy and sweet from now on.
