Warnings: None! Just fluffy stuff! 

A/N: Now that I am a so-deemed “Rexpert” by @rebeldaydreams, I thought I’d supply some Rex headcanons! These started as hug hcs but now they’re more “what would comfort and calm Rex between missions?” 

I knew I needed to get my first writing on this account out the way otherwise I’d keep being scared to post and never would have 😂 A huge thank you to @rebeldaydreams for encouraging me to start this blog up and for bouncing ideas off my rambles!

Reader is a tactician for the 501st who was sent at the behest of the Jedi council. They wanted to round out Anakin's battle plans to be more consistent and less of the "I'm gonna make some sarky comments and cut some droids down" attitude. Rex and reader go on nearly every campaign together aside from when reader is on leave (not being Kaminoan property means she is legally required to take more time off field). The two develop a relationship during the clone wars, but they try to keep it on the downlow.

Rex is naturally a physically affectionate person, which shocked you at first. Maybe he's touch starved? He doesn't really get much physical comfort while on duty (which probably attributes for his stoic role Captaining the 501st) aside from the occasional pat on the back from Fives or high five from Ahsoka, so at ease in your quarters he can just revel in it. And actually, it's through this ease with you that he starts to naturally extend a bit more affection to his brothers, while still keeping it professional, of course.

I used to dream of reaching the stars... And when I got the chance I ran to them... I chased them far from home... I chased them far from myself.. And there is where I met you.. And in your eyes I found the stars.

A teaser of my Star Wars OC Harlow and how she came to meet Aeitu ( @curtisgrahamcracker ‘s OC) 

good question!! that’s partially the point- he still somewhat sees her in the soft light he did when she was his (possible) padawan Back In The Day while still acknowledging that she’s grown up quite a bit. not to mention, he’s managed to reason away the fact that she draws him closer to the light by saying she’s one of his few recent successes in a sea of failures in the face of the resistance. roz on the other hand is the same way- although she completely understands all of the atrocities he’s committed, how “bad” he’s become, she still has hope to get close to him and help him realize his wrongs. she also trusts him because she’s a) generally a trusting person and b) is nostalgic and needs to use him as a sort of rock while dealing with huge changes in her life.

that being said.

when they fight. hoooooo boy, do they fight. see: screaming matches. it doesn’t happen too often, because ren brushes off roz’s stubbornness for being childish and immature (or, backhandedly praises her for being emotional and getting closer to the dark side in her anger). roz usually brushes off ren’s... well, overall aggressiveness and stubbornness as his shift from the light side to the dark side and his problems dealing with emotions (like a lot of men tend to do oops). HOWEVER WHEN THEY DON’T BRUSH IT OFF. god almighty protect anyone caught between them. roz wouldn’t hurt anyone in her anger (other than maybe herself or kylo) but that doesn’t mean ren wouldn’t. 

ren usually initiates the fight. because he shuts her out, gets really cold with her all of a sudden, becomes harsh and rude as he generally is. and she’ll ask what’s up, but he ignores her or tells her that she needs to be training since she’s still weak. and that, that type of comment about being weak and how she shouldn’t bother with him, is what gets her. 

like, “oh, really? i’m still weak? even though you’re the one who couldn’t even confront your own father without killing him! not showing emotion isn’t strength, you kriffing idiot.” because roz is just as brash, impulsive, and fiery as he is- they’re cut from the same cloth and both can cut deep with their words. (in short: roz goes for the jugular every damn time because she doesn’t want to deal with his shit)
