So sorry for the delay! I'm very far behind on requests and it's totally all my fault 😂. But anyway, here it is! I went a little different direction with this one than my usual letters. Hope you enjoy it! ❤️

Forgive Me, My Love

Warnings: General angst? Relationship problems.

--------------------------------------------------

How could he say that!? How could he just end things like that? You had thought things between you and the Marshal Commander were going so well. Maybe the "I love you" had been too rushed. He'd seemed almost terrified when the words fell from your lips. Now here you were shocked to the core.

"I think we should stop seeing each other."

The words rang numbly in your ears. And now he was gone. Deployed early this morning. Gone without even a goodbye.

The doorbell to your small Coruscant apartment chimed loudly pulling you from your misery. Wiping a hand down your tearstained face, you shuffled to the door and opened it. A clone in white shiny armor stood stiffly at attention and handed you an envelope. "I'm supposed to deliver this here, ma'am."

Giving the clone a confused look, you slowly took the letter from his outstretched hand. "Thanks."

The clone nodded and left. Shutting the door, you slowly sat back down onto the couch and opened the letter.

It was from Cody.

Ni Cyare,

I couldn't leave without saying anything so I'm writing to say that I owe you an apology. I am so sorry for pushing you away. It was never my intention to hurt you like this. I love you and I always have. I hope it's not too late for us. I hope that somehow you can forgive me.

I thought that I was protecting you by putting some distance between us. I am a clone, cyare - a disposable soldier. When we go out on a mission, we don't always come back. You don't deserve to bear that burden. I don't want to see you hurt because of me. I told you that this relationship between the two of us would only serve to distract me from my work. I was wrong. You are my motivation, cyar'ika. You are what I want to come home to and it's you who I want to spend the rest of my life with no matter how short it may be. I love you.

I still don't know what I've done to deserve someone like you; someone who will wait for me when I'm away and love me unconditionally. You love me on both my good days and my bad ones, and Maker knows, I've had so many bad ones.

I've lost so many brothers, cyare - so many friends. You are my rock. But if it comes down to it, cyare, I want you to move on. If I fall in battle I want you to have someone to turn to. I want you to know that it's okay.

I guess that's also another reason I'm writing. If something were to happen to me, if I don't come home from this mission, I want you to know that you've made me the happiest clone in the whole GAR.

Never change, cyar'ika.

Love,

Cody

(Rex, Cody, Fives, Jesse, Hardcase, and Wolffe)

Rex:  He’ll give you the most tender look before bringing you in for an embrace, closing his eyes as he breathes in your scent and relaxes his shoulders.  Your statement is rather touching and gives him butterflies.  It is a comfort because this man does stress over your safety.  He does what he can to ensure you are alright, and to hear that you do in fact feel safe and secure with him makes him glad because he does feel responsible for your wellbeing.

Cody: You telling him that he makes you feel safe is a hit of serotonin for this man.  He has a lot of responsibilities, but taking care of you is one task that doesn’t feel like work for him.  Though he might play it cool, you can tell your statement did something to him when he pulls you in for some kisses shortly after.  He tells you that he’s only sorry that he is gone so much, but he always tries to make it up to you when he returns.

Fives: This makes him melt and then sets him ablaze.  He’s all kisses after that.  They start out tender and loving, reinforcing the notion that he will keep you safe, before growing more passionate because your statement made him feel so manly.  Fives wants you to feel safe all of the time, but hearing that he in particular makes you feel that way makes him so happy.  He’ll tell you something along the lines of how he will do anything he can to protect you.

Jesse: The statement you make just about makes him lose his mind in a good way.  It made him feel so absolutely manly.  He’s a very capable soldier, but it makes him feel even more so.  Jesse is a man of action rather than words, so his response isn’t really verbal.  He touches your face gently before leaning in for a searing kiss.  He wants to show you how strong he is and yet so gentle with you.

Hardcase: This sends him over the moon.  To hear that he makes you feel safe?  Well, that pretty much makes his year.  Hardcase isn’t so sure why it makes him puff out his chest a little and put an arm around you, but he just knows that it does.  He’ll tell you how glad he is that you feel that way with him and that he’ll do what it takes to keep it that way.  Be ready for some kisses after that.

(Rex, Cody, Fives, Jesse, Hardcase, and Wolffe)

   Rex: He is the epitome of self-control and professionalism.  He’s a soldier, after all.  A captain.  He’s extremely subtle when he’s crushing, and most wouldn’t think much of his careful interaction with you.  It’s those who know Rex best that would pick up on it.  He’s trying just a little too hard to appear composed.  He clips his sentences just a little more than he would with anyone else.  His feelings would grow to incredible depths beneath the surface, but only a fraction of them would be perceivable.  If the object of his feelings happens to be in distress or danger, that facade disappears for a little while as he comes to their aid.

   Cody: He remains professional when it’s important, but he isn’t opposed to a harmless flirt every now and then off-duty.  He ultimately hopes to spare the object of his affection from the kind of life they’d lead with him.  He’s not just a commander; he’s the commander, which is a position that comes with even more responsibility.  It means even more time away.  More risk.  Still, he can’t seem to keep away from his crush entirely.  He finds himself gravitating toward her despite the voice in his head telling him to keep his distance for her sake, dropping in to save her and throw more flirts her way.

   Fives:  Even though he is an ARC trooper and keeps things professional when it comes to his work, underneath it all he is a very passionate man who can’t help but speak his mind.  He will keep feelings to himself for only so long if it’s a brand new crush, and maybe just take advantage of opportunities to be around her.  If his feelings grow to the point where he falls for his crush, he won’t waste time.  He will put all cards on the table if he finds that she likes him too.  He is who he is, a soldier, an ARC trooper...and if you are willing to give things a chance, he is all in.

   Jesse: If he finds someone attractive, he won’t hesitate to engage in harmless flirting.  I’ve seen him characterized as somewhat of a ladies’ man, and I agree.  When he does fall for someone for real, and his feelings go beyond a little crush, it makes him nervous at first.  He might not flirt so much all of a sudden and get strangely quiet when the object of his affection enters the room.  In the end, he is also a man of passion and loyalty (he tattooed the Republic symbol on his face because he believes in it so much).  It’ll click one day, and he will realize that he’ll take the chance on love if she’ll have him.

   Hardcase: This man falls pretty hard and fast.  He loves being a soldier.  He loves the action.  But when he realizes that he’s fallen in love, he is all about that person.  He’d be the most obvious about his crush because he can’t help but talk about her to anyone who’ll listen.  It annoys his brothers at times, but he doesn’t care.  When he’s with his crush, he wants to see her smile, so he’s pulling out all his best jokes and interesting stories in hopes to make her laugh.
