Snips: Rex?

CRex: Yes, Commander?

Snips: At ease, soldier. It's just us.

Snips: I have news from the Temple.

CRex: What's that got to do with me, Soka?

Snips: They might be lifting the ban on romantic attachments by amending the code.

CRex: So?

Snips: ...I just wanted to tell you.

CRex: Ahsoka, we talked about this.

Snips: Can't I hope that there's a chance?

CRex: You know why that can't happen.

Snips: Because of the Code - which is changing.

CRex: Which might be changing. Nothing's set in stone yet if at all, Soka.

Snips: Why are you acting like this?

CRex: Like what?

Snips: Like I'm somehow a parasite you can't get rid of.

CRex: Ahsoka, where the blast did you get that idea?

Snips: Ever since I left Kamino, you're always so standoffish towards me and rude when I speak to you. I don't understand what happened between us.

CRex: What happened on Kamino shouldn't have happened?

Snips: What? Spending a full week with you?

CRex: Yeah.

Snips: Spending all my time on base by your side?

CRex: Affirmative.

Snips: Spending the night in your cabin, curled up next to you?

CRex: Exactly.

Snips: Do you regret it?

CRex: Yes and no.

Snips: Why no?

CRex: Hands down the best week of my life.

Snips: Why do you regret it then?!

CRex: Because.

Snips: BECAUSE WHY?!

CRex: BECAUSE I JUST DO.

Snips: I DESERVE A LEGIT REASON.

CRex: BECAUSE I...

CRex: I...

Snips: SPEAK UP, SOLDIER.

CRex: BECAUSE I KNOW IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

Snips: ...Rexie.

CRex: NO, YOU LET ME FINISH, COMMANDER.

CRex: I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED SO KINDLY, SO AFFECTIONATELY BY ANOTHER BEING. MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE IS TO BE EXPENDABLE, TO FIGHT FOR A FACTION THAT DOESN'T CARE IF I LIVE OF DIE TOMORROW. I HAVE NEVER FELT SO HUMAN IN MY LIFE AND EVEN IF THE CODE IS LIFTED FOR YOU, I'M STILL AN EXPENDABLE ITEM THE REPUBLIC CAN CONTROL. I CAN'T RISK HAVING FEELINGS FOR YOU BECAUSE IT MIGHT INTERFERE WITH MY MANDATE AS A CLONE CAPTAIN.

Snips: ...you have feelings for me?

CRex: With all due respect, Ahsoka, are you stupid?

CRex: I've had feelings for you since you, Skywalker and Kenobi returned from Morris. It felt like an eternity in your absence...

Snips: Rex, I feel for you too.

CRex: ...

CRex: Blast, you do?

Snips: Yes, you big idiot.

Snips: I've had a crush on you since Christophsis.

CRex: So since we first met then?

Snips: ...yes.

CRex: So what are we going to do then?

CRex: With all due respect, Ahsoka, I can't ignore this anymore - especially now that you told me you feel the same.

Snips: We first hope that the Code changes soon.

CRex: ...and in the meantime?

Snips: We could keep this a secret.

CRex: What?

Snips: You and me. We could be affectionate with each other on the DL.

CRex: But wouldn't that be living a lie, Soka?

Snips: I'd rather lie and be happy than ignore the truth and be miserable.

CRex: Ahsoka...

Snips: I'm serious, Rex. What do you say?

CRex: ... (:

CRex: Are you asking me out, Commander?

Snips: ...it would seem so, Captain.

Snips: What do you say?

CRex: I say we be happy... it's a yes, Soka.

Snips: *screaming*

CRex: Are you alright?!

Snips: *screaming in excitement*

CRex: Oh. (:

Snips: (: Skyguy's here, I gotta go.

CRex: Be safe.

Snips: You too, Rexie.

CRex: (:

Snips: :)
