I Am A Simp

Shaking her head, Aliya took a seat on the ground in front of the couch. Norman always liked to remind her that the couch was a unique piece by some designer and meant for entertaining company. Something she didn’t count as anymore.

It wasn’t always like this. Norman used to make her feel like the most special thing in the galaxy, showering her with expensive gifts and whisking her away on exotic trips every chance he got. He came from an extremely wealthy family and when they’d met, he’d been taking a break to “live” before he would eventually take a prestigious position at his father’s company.

After he joined the company everything started to get so serious. Before he’d found her so interesting and smart, a medic in the GAR, saving lives! Now she was an embarrassment for him, ashamed that she’d taken a position with the GAR after med school because she couldn’t afford the loans.

The sound of Norman’s office door opening broke Aliya out of her thoughts as she nervously stood up and prepared to confront him.

Norman walked out of his office and smiled, “Darling! You’re not dressed, we’re going to get drinks before dinner so we’ll have to leave in half an hour-“.

“Actually, Norm, I was going to skip tonight! You know I don’t get much time off and I wanted to go meet some friends at 79s. I haven’t gotten to have a fun night out in so long and I just need a break from working all the time,” she got out nervously, wringing her hands together and glancing between Norman and the ground as she spoke.

The smile fell off of his face. “I thought we talked about this. 79s is not a nice place; I don’t want you spotted around there. It could end up in some tabloid and embarrass my family and me,” he replied coldly.

“It’s just one night. I just want to see my friends-“

Norman sneered, “Your friends? You mean the clones? You need to learn to separate that stupid job and real life”. He turned around to grab his dinner coat and step into his shoes before turning back to her, his jaw was tight as he looked at her with a cold anger, fists clenching and unclenching.

“Do whatever you want. I don’t care. You can’t teach trash to act with class. You’re just a little whore. If you want to go fuck one of those filthy clones, be my guest.”

And with that Norman left Aliya behind, her eyes stinging with tears as she tried to process what just happened.

Why was she about to waste her tears over that piece of shit she thought angrily. Screw Norman.

With anger coursing through her, Aliya marched upstairs to her closet to get dressed. She was going to have a good time tonight and forget about that rich asshole. She was done. Maybe she would take Norman up on his advice.

The music was pulsing loudly in 79s as Fives continued to anxiously glance at the door every few seconds from their booth.

“Fives relax. If she said she’ll be here, she’ll be here,” Echo reassured him, smiling.

Fives groaned into his hands before downing a shot. “It’s already 8. What’s taking her so long?”

“He’s acting like a shiny nervous for his first date,” Jesse bellowed out laughing, clapping an amused Kix on the back.

“If you think this is bad, you should see him hanging around the medbay,” Kix replied with a sly grin as he took a sip of his drink.

“Shut up, Kix,” Fives growled, trying to reach across the booth to grab at Kix as Jesse and him laughed at Fives’ misfortune.

“Enough,” Rex said sternly, trying to keep from smiling at his brothers’ antics. “I’ve seen all of you boys act like fools for some girls attention before. You don’t have any room to be making fun of Fives.”

Rex watched smugly as they all grumbled out excuses for their past behaviors. The five of them were in their full armor, only leaving their helmets behind, making the booth a bit of a tight squeeze- but with a common target for their jokes tonight, the boys hadn’t minded too much.

Suddenly Fives stood up, mouth opening subconsciously. “She’s here,” he announced weakly, nodding towards the door.

Aliya walked through the doors of 79s confidently, her black skintight dress, subtly shimmering with hints of silver, went down to her mid-thigh. The thin straps of the dress rested delicately on her shoulders. A small silver purse hung from its golden chain on her right shoulder. Her normally straight hair was down in dark waves, framing her face. Her full lips were a bold burgundy and her eyelids were lined with a bold wing and covered in a smoky shimmer.

She stopped and scanned the room from the doorway before spotting her friends and making her way over. Echo’s eyes widened seeing her outfit as Jesse and Kix let out whistles and applause. Rex shook his head with a small smile before taking another sip of his whiskey.

Aliya made it to the table and gave them a playful smile, “Hey boys! Told ya I’d be here.” She took a seat next to Kix as the boys all talked over each other to tell her how beautiful she looked. Fives just stared at her grinning.

After everyone settled down, Aliya leaned in and asked, “So…shots?”

Several shots later the gang was having a great time, shouting over each other and telling stories. Aliya was laughing so hard she started snorting and trying to cover her mouth, which only made the boys get louder trying to get her to snort again.

“Stop,” Aliya choked out through her laughter, trying to breathe again. “I need a break! Somebody come dance with me!”

Fives jumped up, “I’m coming.” Shimmying under the table and out, Fives stood back up and smiled at Aliya, holding his hand out to her. Giggling, she took his hand and stood up and he led her to dance floor.

Aliya turned to face Fives with a dazzling smile and put her hands around his neck, pressing her body flush against him. Fives slid his hands down to hold her waist and they began to sway to the music.

“So, you were running a little late tonight?” Fives questioned with a smile.

“Yeah. Norman kind of lost his shit when I told him I was coming here. He called me trash-” she said, rolling her eyes with a snort.

Fives gripped her waist tightly with anger and cut her off, “He had no right. Honestly Aliya, I don’t know why you don’t just leave that pompous bastard behind.”

“Fives, I know-“ Aliya hesitantly began.

“You deserve so much better. You are the kindest, smartest, most beautiful person I have or will ever meet. You deserve someone who worships the ground you walk on. Not somebody who constantly belittles you and shames you-“ Fives ranted, not noticing the mischievous expression taking over Aliya’s face.

Suddenly, Aliya let go of his neck and turned around; putting her hands over Fives’, lowering them down to her hips. Fives let out a choked noise and stopped talking, his heart beating faster.

Smirking at his silence, Aliya slowly began to move her hips against Fives to the music. “Maybe you’re right Fives. Show me what I deserve,” she stated innocently.

The gears in Fives’ brain had short-circuited. He let out a low groan, feeling her slowly gyrating against his codpiece. “Aliya,” he started in a low tone, “don’t joke about something like this-“.

“I’m not. Fives I’m tired. Tired of pretending. I want someone who actually loves me”.

Fives held his breath. This couldn’t be real.

“I see the way you look at me. And I know what you’re thinking. Because it’s the same way I look at you,” Aliya finished softly.

Fives felt his heart stop beating. A moment passed before he spun her back around and pressed his lips to hers, his hands coming up to hold her face. Aliya threw her arms back up around his neck as she kissed him back passionately.

After a moment, Aliya pulled back, panting, and Fives growled chasing her lips. Aliya put her hand up to his lips. The absolutely feral look in his eyes made her legs weak. She felt her panties growing wetter. “I need you Fives,” she told him breathlessly.

His eyes went dark as he grabbed her hand and began leading her out of the bar. The ride to her apartment felt brief, Aliya practically on top of him, her lips against his again. She let out a soft pant and Fives used the moment to slip his tongue into her mouth. Gently but firmly exploring everything he could reach. One hand gripping her hip tightly while the other was firmly weave into her hair, pushing her closer to him while he devoured her.

Stumbling out of the cab, Fives tossed some credits to the driver before following Aliya towards her apartment. With shaky hands Aliya opened the door, Fives pressed against her against her back. The second the door was closed, Fives had her trapped against it, caging her in-between his arms as he returned his lips to hers. Fives slowly kissed down to her neck, biting and sucking on the soft skin there. Aliya let out a soft moan that made Fives growl into her skin.

He slotted his knee in between her legs until she was resting against her thigh. Fives kissed his way down her shoulder until he reached the strap of her dress. He slowly pushed it to the side until it fell down, exposing more of her chest. Leaning forward, Fives began kissing the top of her tits, moving to the center before placing his face between them and giving her gentle kiss, groaning at the feeling of her soft skin.

“Kriff, you’re so perfect,” Fives breathed out as he began tugging at the hem of her dress, slowly pulling it up and over her head. Fives’ eyes went dark and he let out a low growl seeing what she had on underneath. A sheer lacy set of lingerie in the perfect 501st blue. Her nipples were hard, straining through the fabric.

Chuckling darkly, Fives reached up to cup one of her breasts, “Naughty girl. You planned this, didn’t you?”

Aliya whined at the feeling of his warm hand holding and massaging at her tit. “Please,” she gasped out.

“Please what, love?” Fives asked gently, holding her gaze.

“Touch me,” she pleaded, head rolling back towards the door.

“Anything for you, love.” Fives slowly slid a cup of her bra down to reveal the small brown bud. He lowered his mouth and gave her nipple a small lick, while his other hand massaged the other through the fabric. He slowly uncovered her other breast before moving over to suck on the nipple, his hand reaching over to gently pinch the other between his fingers.

Fives continued making his way down her body, kissing along her stomach, his hands kneading at her sides. Kneeling down, he placed a small kiss on her panties before reaching his hand up to feel her.

Moaning at the feeling of her soaked panties, he slipped a finger inside to massage her dripping pussy. “Kark, you’re so kriffing wet,” he groaned out. “Is this all for me, love?”

“Kark – yes,” she moaned out.

“Gods, I need you so bad.” Her chest was moving erratically as she panted, eyes closed. The feeling of Fives’ fingers gently moving back and forth between her lips, spreading her slickness all over, teasing her was too good and not enough all at once.

Watching her face, Fives slowly moved her panties to the side and brought his face up to her pussy, giving her clit an open mouth kiss. He licked the bud slowly, circling it with the faintest hint of pressure, gradually making the movements harder.

The feeling of his mouth on her was heavenly, Aliya moaning lowly as Fives slowly ate her open, like she was a delicacy he was trying to savor. She let out a small gasp when she felt one of his fingers slowly caress her hole before pushing in with a groan.

“God, you’re so tight. Kark, you’re squeezing my finger so hard,” Fives moaned, feeling her tight, wet heat pulsing around his finger.

Her eyes were rolling into the back of her head as she tried to watch Fives sucking on her clit while slowing pumping his finger inside of her. “I’ve never felt this before, kriff. Nobody’s ever done this for me. Feels so good, Fives you make me feel so karkkk” she babbled out, moaning, reaching her fingers down to pull at Fives’ hair.

Fives growled at the thought of her never being eaten out before and doubled down on his efforts. He was going to show her what she deserved. His tongue lapping at her clit, he added a second finger inside of her, pumping and curling in and out, stretching her out so good.

“Fives! I think I’m going to cum-“ she panted out, hands tightening on Fives’ hair.

Fives moaned into her clit, continuing to curl his fingers inside of her while he licked and sucked on her clit until-

“KARK”

Her legs began to clamp closed so Fives’ brought his hands up to hold them open as he continued eating her pussy while she came. She let out a gasping moan, her mouth open, eyes closed, back arching up off the door. Her pussy was clenching around Fives’ fingers, still pumping, working her through her orgasm. Her juices spilling out, coating Fives’ face as he tried to lick up everything she was giving him.

Finally Fives’ pulled his finger out of her as she let out an over stimulated whimper. He rose, face glistening, and brought his fingers to her mouth in a silent question. Aliya looked him in the eyes and opened her mouth, slowly sliding her soft lips down his fingers and tasted herself. Swirling her tongue, she closed her eyes with a moan at the feeling of Five’s slick fingers in her mouth. Fives groaned watching her take his fingers so well, his cock straining hard against his codpiece. She sucked his fingers clean before sliding off and releasing them with a pop.

Fives’ picked her up kissing her, her tongue going to lick at the juices covering his face and carried her to her bed. Tossing her down gently. She stared up at him, unclasping her bra to let her breasts out. Fives watched as she tossed her bra aside and removed her panties.

Seeing her completely bare and vulnerable for him while he towered over her in his full armor had Fives’ cock twitching. “Karking perfect,” Fives whispered in awe.

She looked up at him, eyes wide, before leaning forward to unclasp his codpiece. It cluttered to the ground and she gently touched his aching cock over his blacks. Fives let out a low moan at the feeling of her small hands over him.

Tentatively, she pulled down his blacks to let his cock spring out. It was painfully hard, beads of precum smeared across its head. He’d gotten a little worked up while eating her out. She went to reach for his cock when Fives stopped her.

“Not tonight love. Tonight is all about you. I want to make you feel good, will you let me?” Fives questioned softly.

“Yes,” she breathed out. “Please Fives, I want to feel you inside of me. Kark, you look so good, please please just kriff me”

Groaning Fives’ leaned forward to give her a hard kiss before laying her back. He climbed over her before bring his cock to her soaking pussy, rubbing the head back and forth, collecting her slick. “Such a good kriffing girl, so perfectly wet for me. Gonna make you feel so good,” Fives moaned, eyes closing at the sensation.

Fives’ spit in his hand and brought it to his cock, giving it a couple of strokes before lining it up with her entrance. Slowly, he began to push his hard cock inside of her. Kark, she was so fucking tight, squeezing him so tightly in her warm, wet pussy. Finally, he was flush against her. He paused panting, looking at Aliya’s face. Her head was back, eyes closed, and mouth slightly open as she let out small pants.

“Please,” she begged sweetly. “Please move Fives, pleaspleaseple- KRIFF”

Fives had pulled out and slammed back into her, starting a slow hard pace. Thrusting in and out of her, watching her face to see what she needed.

“You’re taking me so kriffing good, love,” Fives groaned out. She clenched around him as he spoke.

“Oh, does somebody like being a good little girl for me? Kriff, you feel so perfect.”

He kept thrusting deeply as he brought a hand down to her clit, slowly rubbing it in circles as he moved his cock inside of her.

“Come on love, give me another one. I need to feel you cum around my cock. I want to feel your juices soaking me while I kark you. Be a good girl, cum all over me. Let me feel you,” Fives murmured as he began to thrust a little faster.

God the way he was rubbing her clit while fucking her dripping pussy had her eyes rolling back in her head. She was starting to get close again. Then Fives reached down his other hand to pinch at her nipples. She let out a small gasp. It was all too good.

Fives continued to thrust his cock deep inside of her. He could feel her getting wetter until finally she moaned out, “I’m going to cum, kirff. Don’t stoppp-“.

Her back arched off the bed, hand fisting her sheets while she let out a moan. Kriff, the feeling of her milking his cock had Fives’ panting as he worked her through her orgasm. Panting as she came down from her high, she put a hand up to stop Fives. He paused and slowly pulled out of her, completely drenched in her juices.

“Fives, let me take care of you. Please,” she asked, sitting up to look at him. She looked so beautiful, that Fives’ gave in. Slowly she began to remove the rest of Fives’ armor, kissing every new place she gained access to. Once he was down to his blacks, she slowly began tugging up his shirt, until Fives pulled it off. Leaning down, Aliya slowly removed his pants, getting on the ground to pull the legs down and off of him.

Fives’ was completely naked, and Aliya looked up at him, kneeling in front of him on the ground. She felt her pussy clench as she looked at him. His perfectly toned chest, muscular arms, all of him – perfect. She leaned her face up towards his cock and face stopped her with a hand. “You don’t have to do that, this was supposed to be about you, love,” he strained.

“Please. I want to,” she said, looking up at him through her eyelashes. With a curse, Fives hesitantly removed his hand, letting her move forward. She leaned over and gave the head of his cock a gentle kiss. Slowly, her kisses get bolder, her mouth opening to give his head little licks. She moved and began to lick from the base of his shaft up to the tip, all around his cock, licking up all of her juices glistening on his cock, before finally putting his head in her mouth. Fives’ hand flew to her hair, as he moaned out. Lightly sucking, she moved further down his cock and began to bob her head along him. She pulled off and spit on to his shaft before sucking again, spreading the spit all over.

She bobbed her head, slowing taking more of his cock in until her nose was pressed against his pubes. “Kriff, you’re so karking good, love. Got my cock all the way down your throat, such a good karking girl,” Fives babbled.

Pulling back slightly, she brought her hand up and began twisting and sliding it in tandem with her mouth. She kept working, the only noises in the room were the slick noises of her sucking on Fives’ cock and his groans as his fisted his hand in her hair. Fives’ lightly thrust into her mouth murmuring in Mandoa as she continued to suck his cock, until suddenly he pushed her off.

“If you keep going like that, I’m going to cum love,” he panted out, with a chuckle. Aliya stood up with a smile before leaning up on her tiptoes and pulling Fives in for a kiss. She rotated Fives around and pushed him to sit down on the bed before climbing onto his lap. Hovering over him, she grabbed his cock and lined him up with her entrance before slowing sitting down on top of him, her eyes on his as she took him all the way inside with a moan.

Slowly she started to ride him, bring her face up to his to kiss him while his cock moved in and out of her pussy. His hands went to hold her hips and help move her up and down. “You’re so krififng perfect,” he whispered as she continued moving her hips over his cock.

Smiling, she began to roll her hips faster, her breasts bouncing lightly with her movement. Fives brought a hand up to massage one of her tits, his fingers pinching and rolling her nipple before bring his mouth down to suck it. He felt her clench his cock as he played with her nipples and Fives let out a grunt.

He leaned up to suck on her neck as she began to slam her hips down onto his cock, riding him as hard as she could. Fives held her close as she bounced, kissing and sucking across her neck and chest. “Love, I’m not going to last much longer” Fives panted, his voice sounding strained. “Where do you-“

Gasping she begged, “Inside! Please”. Groaning, Fives took over, holding her hips still as he thrust up into her. Falling forward with a whimper, Aliya wrapped her arms around Fives, her tits pushed up against his chest. Fives was pounding her, thrusting up into her hard, the feeling of her clenching around him was addicting.

“Karkkkk,” Fives groaned out as he finally let go. Aliya moaned as Fives held her tightly to him as he filled her up with cum. Panting, Fives buried his head against her shoulder and just held her there as he came down from his high. She felt his hot cum inside of her, slowly starting to come out, leaking around Fives’ softening cock.

Fives’ finally lifted his head, giving her a chaste kiss. “You really are just so perfect,” Fives said with a tired smile. Aliya kissed him on the forehead before slowly pulling off of his cock and heading to the bathroom. After a few minutes she returned in her robe to see Five’s holding a glass of water for her.

Gratefully she took it from him and started chugging it down as Fives slipped into the bathroom. When he returned he came and sat on the bed beside her, slipping his hand into hers and holding it tightly.

“I was late to 79s because I was having some movers bring the stuff I had over at Norman’s apartment back to mine. Then I texted him it was over and turned off my phone,” Aliya said with a playful smile.

Fives burst out in incredulous laughter. “Seriously??” he asked grinning. She nodded, laughing at his reaction. A more serious look came across Fives’ face. “Aliya, I need you to know – I love you. I have always loved you-“

She put a finger up to his lips, silencing him with a smile. “I know, Fives. And I love you. I only wish it hadn’t taken me so long to do something about it.”

“Are you kidding me?? FIVES YOU’RE ON LEAVE AND YOU WALK IN HERE FOR A PAPERCUT?! You are going to make me lose my mind, I swear,” she shouted, fuming at the prospect of having to waste time and supplies “patching” up Fives. Again.

Sighing, she walked over to the cabinet to grab a small bandage and an antiseptic wipe for the cut.

“You know Fives, if you wanted to see me you could just say so? Instead of causing everyone paperwork by admitting yourself to the medbay every chance you get?” she reminded him sarcastically as she dabbed at the tiny cut with a wipe and began to wrap the tiny bandage over it. As she worked, she began to calm down.

“Ahhh but you’re always so busy Aliya. I doubt you’d actually hang out with me if you weren’t obligated to,” Fives said with a forced grin as she finished up with the bandage. She rolled her eyes as a reluctant smile began to grow on her face.

“You know that’s not true you idiot! Just stay out of my medbay, okay?” she said with a laugh. Gods, she had the most beautiful smile, Fives thought grinning back at her.

As Aliya began cleaning up Fives frowned. “You didn’t finish with my cut.”

“What are you talking about,” she asked, grabbing Fives’ finger in confusion. What else could she do for that microscopic cut on his finger?

“You didn’t give it a little kiss,” Fives said, looking at her with his best puppy dog eyes and pout.

“Fives, do we really have to do this again?” Aliya asked with a faux pained expression, attempting to keep from smiling.

He continued pouting at her.

With an exaggerated sigh, she leaned over to press a gentle kiss to his index finger before quickly turning around to hide her smile. “There - you big baby. All done. Now don’t come back here unless you’re dying or I swear I’ll send Ben in to deal with whatever injury you come up with next. And he doesn’t give out kisses for boo boos,” she warned him with a playful smirk.

Fives groaned, “not Mr. Rules, pleaseeee. I can’t handle any more lectures”. Aliya rolled her eyes, smiling as she turned back to face Fives, her arms crossed as she leaned against the counter across from his bed.

With a sigh Fives gave in, “Fine fine, I won’t come back….IF you promise to stop by 79s tonight! You haven’t gone with us in forever and we miss you,” he trailed off with a pout.

She bit her lip worriedly, “Tonight? I don’t know Fives, I think Norman was expecting me to come over and-“

“He never lets you hang out with us anymore and the boys miss you Aliya!” Fives angrily exclaimed with a sour expression on his face.

Sighing and shaking his head as he collected himself, Fives resumed sadly, “I miss you. I wouldn’t have to keep ambushing you here if it wasn’t the only way I got to see you anymore. We only get to hangout when we’re deployed together or if I come find you in the medbay while we’re on leave.”

Aliya felt a twinge of pain realizing Fives was right. How could she blame him for acting out after learning the reason for all of his antics? “Okay okay!” she conceded, giving him a soft smile and raising her hands up in front of her guiltily, “You’re right. I haven’t been a very good friend lately. Let’s do it! I’ll meet y’all there - what time?”

Fives broke out into a smile, jumping up from the bed to scoop Aliya up in his arms and whoop out a cheer. “We’ll be there at 7!” Fives replied as he reluctantly set her back down.

“Okay, I’ll see you there then. Now get out of here I’m working!” she giggled out as she began pushing the clone out the room.

He couldn’t stop grinning as he passed the front desk of the medbay, saluting an annoyed Ben who was glaring over at Fives with his arms crossed, as he strutted out the doors to get back to the barracks. He needed to shower up and get ready for 79s. It was the first night of leave so everyone was going to be there and for the first time in months Aliya would be too.

As Fives walked through the compound he couldn’t stop thinking about Aliya. Ever since her horrible boyfriend Norman had gotten his fancy finance job, he hadn’t let her go out with the boys whenever she was planetside. He always had some stupid excuses for why she couldn’t go, but everyone knew why Norman really wouldn’t let her see them. It was beneath him. He had an expensive high-rise apartment on the upper levels of Coruscant and a high paying job doing some bullshit finance work. All he needed was a beautiful girl on his arm to complete the package for rich entitled douche. And he would do anything to keep Aliya as far from the clones and GAR as he could to try and make her image fancy enough to be his trophy, Fives thought angrily, clenching his fists by his sides.

So she was always “busy” now, attending stupid galas and business dinners to adorn his arm and stay far away from low life clones. He dressed her up in jewels and beautiful gowns so she could stand by his side and laugh at all of his stupid jokes and Fives knew how much she hated it. Whenever they were out on missions it’s like she would come back to life and be herself - laughing and hanging out with the boys, complaining about the horrible snobby aristocrats she had to meet, even getting up and imitating them all for the boys when they had down time. She was so strong and beautiful and full of life it made Fives’ heart ache. Until she was back on Coruscant, stuck being Norman’s little trophy. He didn’t care that she was only a shell of herself, as long as she played her part as the perfect girlfriend for his perfect life.

But she was never going to say anything to Norman about that. She was so scared of being alone that she would rather suffer with Norman than to be happy without him. Even though she wouldn’t have to be alone, Fives mused. Ever since he’d first landed himself in the medbay, he’d been in love with her. Not that she knew, he sighed. He’d never had a chance to say anything with Norman around long before him. Gods, the image of her the first time he’d met her would be seared into his brain for as long as he lived.

That mission on Geonosis had been brutal. Fives had been shot in the shoulder not too long before the generals had ordered a retreat. Somebody dragged his limp body back to a makeshift medbay. He remembered he’d been in so much pain and then all of a sudden it was gone. It was like the air in the room had stilled and everything was silent. All he knew was her face, hovering over him, the wispy strands of wispy black hair that had escaped her braids framing her determined expression as she started to remove his armor to get to the blaster shot. Then she pulled out a needle, looking into his eyes with her almond eyes wide, mouthing something to him before injecting it into his shoulder. Then the world went dark.

When Fives came to, he was back on the ship’s medbay, laying one of the clinically white beds, cleaned and bandaged up. Had he just dreamed up that woman? It all felt so distant alone in that sterile room.

Suddenly, the woman from earlier pulled the curtain aside and stepped in. “Good to see you’re up trooper! You had a nasty blaster wound on your shoulder but it shouldn’t cause you any trouble now. Just make sure you don’t lift with that arm for the rest of the day, okay?” she rambled off in a cheery voice as she looked at the chart in her hands.

Fives just stared up at her with his mouth open. She was the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. She was so tiny, just barely over 5 feet tall, her white coat contrasting her brown skin, and her black hair pulled back with a small hair clip now. Her dark eyes were crinkled as she smiled down at him for a while, before her brows furrowed and she began flipping through his charts, “Maybe we should run some more tests. You may also have a concussion-“.

Fives’ eyes widened realizing she’d been waiting for him to respond. “Sorry, Doc! I’m fine! Just, still waking up I think,” Fives nervously responded with a chuckle.

The smile returned to her face and she stopped searching through the papers, “No worries, take all the time you need! My name’s Aliya.”

Aliya. It fit her so well. What a beautiful name. Fives could listen to her say her name all day, the way it flowed off of her tongue – he was mesmerized. “Uh, I’m Fives” he finally got out in an attempt to not seem rude.

Aliya let out a small giggle, her eyes filled with mirth, “Oh, I know.”

“Do I know you?” Fives asked with a confused smile, reaching up to rub the back of his head. How he could have forgotten someone like her? He wouldn’t have…would he?

Laughing she replied, “Oh, no! But I do know you! With all of Kix’s stories and the 5 on your forehead, I put two and two together.”

Ahh Kix. That made sense. Fives smiled before a mischievous look took over his face and he leaned forward conspiratorially, “of course, I should have realized we hadn’t met. I could never forget someone as heartbreakingly beautiful as you.” Fives sat back, feeling more confident now that he had begun his usual shameless flirting.

Aliya giggled and tucked some nonexistent loose strands of hair behind her ears. “Mmhm…you are exactly how Kix described. It was nice to finally meet you Fives. Though I hope I don’t see you back in here too often”. And with that she had walked out of the room.

Fives grinned, flopping back to lie down on the bed again. Meeting her had been the greatest moment of his life. Unfortunately the rest of the day wasn't as great. He'd rushed out of the medbay to find Kix and ask about the beautiful doctor, only to learn the sad truth. Aliya was already in a relationship.

He would have to keep dreaming of the day she would finally realize she could do so much better and leave Norman. She deserved someone who actually loved her, not just some idea of her.

Fives finally made it back to the barracks and sighed. He needed to take a nice long shower to clear his head of these stupid daydreams before he had to see her at 79s.
