not just a story
captain rex x fem reader
youâre the librarian for the 501st, who usually knows each soldierâs genre of choice pretty well. a particular captain asks for a change of pace, and you deliver
warnings: flirting, suggestive asffff
the library in the barracks of the 501st on coruscant was a humble one. it wasnât huge, surely not as expansive as the jedi archives, but it did its job. whether it was to provide entertainment to troopers on leave, to educate them on past wars in the galaxy, or to punish them for poor behavior, your desk was always open from eight in the morning to five in the evening.
the job was pretty simple, and a little mundane sometimes, but it paid well as you were constantly at risk for being caught in the middle of an attack. luckily for you, you were surrounded by those trained to fight and protect.
a good chunk of the battalion was on leave, since they had just finished a campaign on some planet you did not care to learn the name of. all you knew is that some of them had overdue books, and you were ecstatic that most of the soldiers had returned to actually⌠return them.
a loud thump on your desk scared you out of your trance-like state as you were staring at your computer. a stack of about six books sat on the steel. you glanced behind the stack, seeing a heaving hardcase and a chuckling fives.
âi found âem all, miss,â hardcase huffed, scribbling onto the library card.
you raised an eyebrow, glancing at the date in which he checked these out. his name covered various lines, dating back to at least six months ago.
âyouâre lucky iâm not allowed to fine you,â you said bluntly, taking the books and scanning them back into the system. you looked at the covers as you did so.
Mating Cycles of Ryloth, History of Dance Across the Galaxy, etc.
fives snickered, âman, what the kriff were you reading?â
ânone of your business! i wanted somethingâŚeducational,â hardcase snapped back.
âyeah, because âeducationalâ and âhardcaseâ totally belong in the same category.â
it was your turn to snicker. you slid the books onto the return shelf beside you, making a mental note to put them back on their shelves later. you looked at fives.
âyou returning anything?â
he threw his hands up in a casual surrender, âgot nothing to return. i do want to check something out, though.â
you raised your eyebrows in anticipation. he reached behind his back and pulled a book from his belt. you looked at the cover as he handed it to you to scan.
it was clearly a filthy romance of some kind. if you were to guess, he was planning to read it out loud in the barracks to his brothers. it wouldnât be the first time heâd done it.
you scanned the barcode, and you signaled for him to fill out the library card. his name, book title, and date checked out. you always thought the physical card was kind of redundant when you had a digital system, but it kept the clones extra responsible about returning them for some reason. they liked it, so you kept it.
the two clones giggled and ran away with their new prize, eager to read it to each other. whatever floated their boat, you guessed.
you snatched hardcaseâs returned stash and cradled them in your arm. your time at this job really improved how much you could carry at a time. you perused the shelves, finding homes for each of the books.
you were on your last one, your gaze scanning the spines in order to find the right slot for the one in your hand. your eyes were tired with the amount of focus you needed to read the small letters.
it was too kriffing dark in there.
just as you found the right spot, a voice startled you out of your focus.
âmiss?â
you jumped, gasping a little bit. you whipped around to see who snuck up on you, and your face flushed a little at the sight.
hello, captain.
rex huffed out a dry laugh at your reaction, âsorry, didnât mean to scare you, cyare.â
you knew the word was a term of endearment in his mother tongue, but you were certain it was his way of teasing you.
âis there something i can do for you, captain?â you ask, sliding the book onto the shelf.
he watched your hands run over the spines, making sure they were even with each other. they lingered on the shelf.
âyes, actually. i need a book for leave,â he said, not taking his eyes off of your hands.
you thought back to what he usually checks out, âwant another war tactics book? rex, weâre running out of ones you havenât read.â
he dipped his head with a smile, letting out a light chuckle, âno, no. i was thinking a change of pace would be nice.â
a change of pace, huh?
a mischievous smile crept up onto your face as you recalled what fives had checked out earlier.
âi think i know exactly what you need. follow me.â
the clone captain followed you through the shelves, weaving through hundreds of books. you could feel rex staring at the back of your head, not focusing at all which section you were leading him too.
you arrived in the romance section, scanning the shelves for one particular book. you had read this one before, and one thing you really took away from it was how much itâŚignited something in you.
you found the book, taking the burgundy-wrapped pages off of the shelf. you shoved it into his hands, and he eyed it curiously. he raised an eyebrow at you.
âitâsâŚa cute story. i promise,â you said.
he locked eyes with you, then back at the book, âwellâŚiâll take your word for it.â

rex settled into the sofa that sat in his private quarters. he was fresh out of the âfresher with sweatpants hanging low on his hips.
he eyed the cover once again: the taste of you
rex had always trusted your taste in books, but this one seemed a littleâŚout there. it wasnât a very long book, maybe two to three hundred pages. he shrugged to himself at opened it.
the story started out pretty normal. guys meet girl, girl thinks she has a crush on guy, so on and so forth. he was familiar with the concept of cute romances, but he wasnât really hooked on the story yet.
he wanted to like it so bad since you recommended it to him. his eyes felt heavy from reading for so long, but he decided to give it one more chapter. he flipped the page, read a little down the page and-
kark.
his cheeks started to heat up with what he began to read, and it almost embarrassing, but he couldnât tear his eyes away. he couldnât stop reading it.
the filthy language that decorated the pages was almost addicting. he could see it all play out in his head, but for some reason, instead of the main female character, he could only see your face.
he could only see your face, and his own hands running up and down your body, kissing you, touching you in all the places you needed him to.
he could see himself pinning your wrists above your head and-
stop, rex thought to himself.
all of the blood in his body had rushed south. he could still see the smile that decorated your face when he asked for something new.
you knew exactly what you were doing to him.
he had to put the book down to compose himself. deep breaths filled and left his lungs as he stared at the burgundy book that rested on the arm of the sofa.
âiâm gonna get you back for this one, cyare.â
~
your heart pounded in anticipation of seeing rex. you arrived to work that morning with a cup of caf and a smile that wouldnât leave your features.
you were so excited to hear this thoughts about it.
your chair rolled as you plopped into it, signing in on the computer. clones usually didnât show up right away in the morning, especially if they were on leave. they were usually recovering from a night at 79s.
however, you heard the door panel slide open a few moments later.
a fully armored captain was walking towards your desk, helmet on and all. he came up, wordlessly slammed the book onto your desk, and an impish smile crept onto your face.
âwhatâd you think, captain?â you cheesed, batting your eyelashes.
he just stared for a while, his breathing being a little heavy.
âi finished it,â was all he said.
âoh? so you liked it?â
he huffed, taking his helmet off. his eyes met yours, and you had never seen them blown so big before. he leaned down to your ear, taking your chin in his gloved fingers.
âso you think this is funny, cyare? hm?â
words died in your throat as your face flushed with heat, âmaybeâŚmaybe i do.â
a low chuckle echoed into your ear, making your heart skip a beat.
âmy quarters tonight, cyare, and iâll show you that doesnât have to be just a story.â
