Fox and a sensitive, gentle s/o?
β‘ Itβs really quite a surprise how Fox and his partner would get together, as Fox would really be quite cynical and straightforward and just tired of all the bullshit (considering heβs dealing with scheming senators and corruption all day and every day). But I think he would be especially attracted to them because theyβre different β they are very naive and truly a pure heart and much unlike who he typically deals with. Although it is necessarily love at first sight nor would he act like he would treat them any different at first β heβs certainly intrigued by them and is sure to keep tabs on them (especially under the so called and genuine concern for their safety). And the longer he grows to know them and how truly and deeply sensitive and gentle they are, slowly his barriers are broken down as well, though he is always on guard, because heβs the commander of the Coruscant Guard after all. But the roughened and hard hearted veteran canβt help but be attracted to them and their gentleness, even if he tries telling himself that it would never work out. He wouldnβt forgive himself if he pulled them into a life of danger and constantly near death but at the same time he cannot quite resist their allure.
β‘ Despite their gentleness, theyβre very much willing to take the risks against their life in order to be with him. He would find that they are surprisingly strong and willing to do anything and just seeing how genuine they are and how they truly want to be with him β well that would seal the deal for him (the hard hearted cynic has a surprising soft side to him), even if the more logical side is screaming at him that he needs to be careful with them. And he would take each and every precaution with them, making sure that they are safe and practically fussing over them β itβs rather amusing for them to watch and they do enjoy teasing him over it. Though they truly assure him that although they are gentle in nature and sensitive, they are able to defend themselves if necessary, because they donβt want to worry him whenever thereβs other pressing matters at hand. While Fox truly believes them and appreciates their assurances, he canβt help but be extra cautious and protective around them. He wouldnβt know what to do with himself if even the smallest touch of harm would befall his partner, it would utterly shatter the perfectly controlled commander.
β‘ Fox finds that he has to tone down his bluntness and his brute honesty when it comes to them, even if they do not particular argue with one another. Well, it's not that they are directly complaining about his honesty and bluntness themselves, because they ultimately know it is in his nature and they love each and every thing about him, but Fox realizes he needs to be a touch more gentler in his words when he's around them. Although they always reassure him that he needs not change for them, he can't help recall that one of their first interactions together was when he warned them to be more aware of their surroundings and that they looked as if they were going to tear up. But his efforts really goes to show he truly cares about them and their feelings and how much he takes them into consideration (when he would never ever consider doing this for anyone else). Although he's not likely to admit it unless in the most private of moments with them, he most enjoys seeing a peaceful and gentle smile on their face, because when they are happy, he cannot help but be happy as well (they have such a contagious smile and laughter after all).
β‘ Although he is still very skilled at maintaining a very professional image and manner among his brothers and his superiors, he becomes noticeably more protective if his partner happens to be in the picture. Perhaps one day his partner could merely be passing by and he would tell his unit to be extra vigilant towards any threats that are around or scold them for looking at them for a moment too long (which is normal for any passerby, but he's noticeably impassioned about it, so they would definitely pick up on it). eventually one they had figured out what's happening, there would be a lot of teasing and comments about it, especially to see if their commander would lose control (although his cheeks do darken a few shades, he never grants them the satisfaction of seeing his expressions of the emotions he feels on the inside). Those in his unit would most likely be very surprised about how fox and his partner get along, considering they are very opposite in personality, though they'd most definitely believe in how genuine he is in his efforts to make them happy and to share as happy of a life they are able to share together. and of course they are all in support of the two of them, even if fox forces them not to say a word.
β‘ In truth is it a very difficult life, between his duties to the republic and not being able to spend as much time as he'd like with them, but he regrets not a single thing when it comes to them. Certainly h does not regret falling for the allure of their gentleness and how they share an absolutely happy life whenever they have the time (and even he doesn't regret the tattoo he has gotten of them, even if he hasn't uttered a word about it outside of their ears). The only thing that he does regret is that they aren't able to share a life together that is ideal and he thinks that they deserve so much better, but they are always assure him that they wouldn't have it any other way (always with lots of reassuring kisses and affection). For once is Fox shows his own sensitive side, something that he only dares show around his partner, and slowly does he tell them of his insecurities and his fears, and they are only too happy to comfort him and provide him the same support that he has long provided the. Although the two of them made for a very 'opposite' pair, they are truly very happy together in the end (even with some teasing by his brothers).
