Congrats on the 800! Hmm...here's an idea for a quote ficlet. "Well, they say ladies love a man with a scar" and Rex with how he got that scar on chin.

THANK YOU STORMY! This one is short and sweet (and also just a bit goofy... I didn't want to take it too seriously hehe). Hope you like it!

Pairing: Captain Rex x OC Senna Aven

Rating: T

Warnings: language, implied sexual content

Word Count: 634 words

“And what about this one?” Rex asked, tracing the small scar along the inside of the knuckle on Senna’s right pointer finger.

She huffed a laugh. “Power coupler hookup gone wrong. Some karking asshole turned on my supply while I wasn’t looking and didn’t tell me, so it was a hot-to-hot mate. It was already a tight fit to get my hand in the space to make the connection, so things were bent at weird angles and already pretty difficult. Well, I managed to tap the hot row of pins against the opposing hot row on the other side. Blew the connector to bits, singed my fingertips, and one bit of shrapnel caught me there. I was honestly pretty lucky. Only took two stitches and a lot of swearing on my part to get it fixed.” She flexed the finger. “I was maybe ten? Somehow didn’t deter me from tinkering. I think that was one of my first though.”

The two of them were laying next to one another in bed, and for the last hour, had been recounting each other with the origins of the numerous scars that peppered their bodies. Senna, somehow, had far more, but the majority of them were small and covering her hands and forearms from various technical projects gone awry. Rex’s, on the other hand, may have been fewer in number, but were much more severe in most cases.

Senna rolled over, propping herself up on her elbow to look at Rex. “You remember what your first major scar was?”

Rex kissed the damaged skin on her knuckle before letting his mind wander. He grinned when it came to him. “Yeah, actually. I think I do.” He tapped the small raised line on his chin. “This one.”

Senna raised an eyebrow. “Alright, well how’d you get it?”

Rex felt his face heat a bit with embarrassment. “It’s silly.”

“All the more reason to tell me then,” Senna teased, tweaking his chin.

“Alright fine. It was the first battle of Geonosis. I was still a shiny then. I mean, we all were. Anyway, I was standing in the gunship as it was descending, and my pulse was pounding so loudly in my ears, I could hardly hear anything. Didn’t have my bucket on yet, which was my first mistake, but the guy standing next to me said something, and then bent down to readjust something on his weapon. I didn’t hear him, so I leaned over and shouted ‘WHAT?’ down at him, and he popped up abruptly. His bucket caught me in the chin since I was leaning over him, and the plastoid split it open. I didn’t even catch what he said the second time. By then, the ship had landed, so I didn’t have a choice but to jam my bucket onto my head and jump out.” He rubbed his fingers over the scar. “After the battle was over, I reported to a medic to get it looked at. I was still embarrassed as could be, and I think the medic mistook my mortification for some sort of fear that it would impact my romantic prospects. Bandages me up, pats me on the shoulder, and says ‘Well, they say ladies love a man with a scar.’ And then he just heads off to the next guy.”

Rex looked over at Senna, who was shaking with suppressed mirth, her right hand clamped over her mouth to stifle her giggles. He playfully scowled at her. “Knew I’d regret telling you that.”

She leaned onto his chest, pinching his chin between her fingers and pulling him in for a kiss as she snickered against his lips. “Well, the medic was right. If anything, I’d argue it makes you more ruggedly handsome.”

Rex chuckled. “Well, thank the Maker for that then.”

Thanks for participating in my 800 Follower Celebration!

Clone Trooper Rambles

The continuation of my time spent with some imaginary clone troopers.

Warnings for descriptions of recovery from a medical procedure.

Toast

“I want toast,” my sister Lia said.

“So make toast,” I croaked out. My throat felt fine after the surgery, but my voice was so hoarse that it was hard for people to understand me. I wasn’t offended - I had trouble understanding myself half the time.

My mom smiled. “I left the bread on the counter. The silverware is in the drawer next to the dishwasher.”

“No, I want toast, I just don’t want to make toast,” Lia complained.

I rolled my eyes - I figured that probably conveyed my feelings better than rasping out an insult would have.

“Shut up,” Lia told me. “You’re not the one who has to deal with the cursed toaster.”

“What a hard life,” I said dryly.

“What’s wrong with the toaster?” my mom asked, too used to Lia and I bickering to be distracted by it then.

Lia gestured dramatically at it. “It literally flings the toast out onto the counter when it pops up. It’s happened to me twice already!”

I glanced around the room, frowning at the troopers as my mom went to help Lia with the toaster. All of them were watching with interest as the two scientists put a so-called ‘test slice’ in the toaster… Well, all of them except one. Tup was paying a suspicious amount of attention to anything other than the small box on the counter.

“Tup, did you mess with the toaster?” I asked silently.

He only shrugged, but his silence caught the attention of the other troopers.

“C’mon, Tup,” Fives complained. “Why?”

Tup sighed. “I wanted to know how it worked. I thought I could put it back together after I was done. It should be working like normal.”

Lia and my mother laughed hysterically as the test slice finished toasting and launched itself out of the toaster, landing on the counter and narrowly avoiding a fall onto the floor below. It was funny, and I couldn’t keep a rasping chuckle from escaping me.

“Normal?” Hardcase repeated, elbowing Tup as he laughed. “Doesn’t look normal to me, vod!”

“Like you’re an expert on normalcy, ‘Case?” one of the others asked teasingly. Hardcase stuck his tongue out at the other trooper.

“What happened to putting it back together?” Rex asked.

Tup straightened. Even after such an extended period away from the strict hierarchy of the GAR, the men treated their captain with respect. “I was wrong, I couldn’t do it.”

My mother and Lia were watching the toaster intently. They had loaded a second test slice and set a plate where the last one had fallen. I gestured to them. “If nothing else, you’ve prevented another boring afternoon for them. That’s worth it to me.”

“Really?” Rex asked, his skepticism struggling to carry as he raised his voice. Lia and my mom were getting loud in their excitement when the toast didn’t land on the plate. In fact, it was lying on the other side of the counter from where the plate was waiting. “You don’t care that he messed up your toaster?”

“A bug is only a bug if it bothers you. Otherwise, it’s a feature,” I said with a shrug. “Besides, it isn’t my toaster. We rented this place, remember?”

Now it was the troopers who had cheered. I wasn’t deluded enough to think they were cheering about what I had said. The toaster testers had found yet another way to launch the bread and the troopers were fully absorbed.

“How could I forget?” Rex asked darkly. “Tup, fix the toaster.”

“Yes, sir.”
