Written for Foxiyo Week 2024 prompt Undercover

A modern AU with a vampire twist. Fox is an undercover Interpol agent sent to investigate a club with connections, dark ones. He never expected to fall this deep, this hard, not only with everything that the club stands for but also for a dancer named Riyo, who has a secret of her own.

I was going to just finish up the week writing drabbles. I had an idea to do something dark and gritty and law enforcement related for Fox for this prompt. And then I saw @pinkiemme's Fox as a vampire art. This idea was written in a frenzy. It just grew and grew.

Self defense

  "Again," Fox ordered mercilessly.

  Riyo was starting to regret her decision to ask Fox to train her. Fox wasn't holding back. Alright, he probably was. He definitely was. Riyo has seen him in an actual fight. But he could still be a tiny little bit more careful when shoving her to the ground.

  "Wait, I'll just go get a drink."

  "We had a break eighteen minutes ago." Did Fox really not get that for anyone who wasn't a biologically enhanced clone trained for combat for their whole life, this was exhausting?

  "Well, I think eighteen minutes of training is enough." Riyo didn't really think Fox was going to take her training this seriously.

  "Alright, we will continue later," Fox agreed reluctantly. He observed her impatiently the whole time she was drinking her water.

  "You know, maybe you should take the training a little more slowly."

  "More slowly? We've been training for almost an hour and I only learned you the most basic stuff."

  "Maybe that's enough?"

  "But you wanted me to train you."

  "Yeah. I didn't think you would take it so seriously."

  "Of course I'm taking it seriously, I need to give you a good training!"

  Oh. "I just wanted you to show me some basics." And maybe admire her gym clothes. It wasn't every day that Riyo, as a representative of Pantora, got to wear tight leggings and a sports bra. In their busy schedule of working late into the night, it was also the most of her Fox got to see in a while. So yes, maybe she did expect him to look a little more interested. But she definitely wasn't disappointed in any way.

  "Well, we could practice the kicks some more."

  "What about getting out of grip? Can we practice that a bit?"

  Fox looked her over. He hesitated. "Sure."

  "That sounded pretty hesitant for a 'sure'."

  Fox just shrugged and indicated for her to take a stance.

  It was a while later that they finally got to getting out of a grip. Honestly, Riyo lacked the motivation to get out of Fox's grip. She still fought against him, even when she knew that she could never beat him if he didn't purposefully give her a chance.

  He gave her a chance thought, going as far to angle himself just right so she could use one of the moves he just taught her to tackle him to the ground.

  "Good job," Fox praised. She had him 'pinned' to the ground, sitting on his chest. Not that Fox couldn't just shake her off and get up.

  "Really."

  "Well, it's not exactly the level of skill I'm used to but for a first lesson, I think this is pretty good."

  "You think?" Riyo tilted her way sideways in a way that she knew Fox found cute. She hoped he still found it cute, even with her hair messy, face shiny with sweat and breathing heavily. Fox for his part looked like always, as if they didn't just train combat for about half an hour.

  He chuckled. "I'm sure."

  "You better be."

  "Was that a threat?"

  "Maybe."

  There was a beat of silence.

  "Do you want me to let you go?" Riyo asked. Fox could free himself, she was sure, but he didn't look like he was going to do it.

  "Not really."

  "Oh? Since when do you enjoy lying on the ground with me on top of you?"

  "Since the very day I met you. The cloths might be doing a thing or two, though."

  Oh... So Fox actually liked her clothes. Good to know. "Maybe we should repeat this sometimes."

  "Definitely."

hey! do we have to include a dialogue prompt, or is just the prompt for the day okay?

thanks for running this event 💙

Hey there!

No, you don't have to use the dialogue! It's just there to help you get started, if you need it!

[amukmuk]

Not Much

Fox checks his watch discreetly and barely manages to suppress a sigh. He is off duty when the president is off duty, which wouldn’t be a problem if Oragana wasn’t so fucking dedicated. Fox likes the man—he’s way better than Palpatine could have ever hoped to be—but he seems to love neglecting his wife. Fox can’t say the same. 

He checks his watch again. 

“Do you have somewhere to be, Captain?” Organa asks from behind his mahogany desk. He didn’t even bother looking up, which means Fox wasn’t nearly as discreet as he thought he was being. He files that for future attention. 

“No, sir.” 

Organa sets down his tablet and offers Fox a warm smile. “I find that honesty is the best policy.” 

“Sir, it’s Friday night. That’s all.”

foxiyo day one: date night

Riyo finished touching up her make-up. She usually freshens it up throughout her workday, so she can best be the face of her people and maintain the Senate work culture. Today, however, was special, which was why she applied a little more contour and gold liner at ten minutes after 1700 hours in her office in the Senate building. Her date would be meeting her at the front of the building, after both of their workdays.

She packed away her make-up into its bag and replaced it in its proper drawer in her desk, before grabbing her tote bag and exiting her office. The door would automatically lock behind her.

Riyo paused, outside of her office, to double check she had everything. Datapad, communicator, wallet, apartment key-chip. Plus styluses, pens, various pieces of flimsi. She continued to her and her partner's meeting place. Hopefully he would be on time.

Fox finished his watered-down mug of caf from Maker-knew how many hours ago. He watered it down himself because Riyo was always telling him to drink "actual" water, and because he couldn't find a clean, separate vessel. The clock told him he had fifteen minutes left of his shift, and adding in commute time, twenty five minutes total (give or take) before his scheduled evening with Riyo.

Thankfully, citizens were usually too hungover or too motivated to get into too much trouble on Primedays. Usually.

Twenty four minutes.

Fox prayed to the Maker that it would reman a usual Primeday.

Riyo saw Fox walking in her direction. She met him halfway, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hello, love. I see you had enough time to change into your civvies. Easy day?"

Fox huffed a laugh, and kissed her forehead.

"Compared to the Zillo Beast, every day is an easy day."

Riyo whacked him lightly with her tote. "You say that every time," she scolded, "Let's go, we have to get moving if we want to get to Fensan's on time." She put her hand into Fox's, and began to lead them to their restaurant. Fox easily fell into step with Riyo. As exhausted as he was, he wouldn't show it. He wanted to spend this evening sharing a meal with his partner, even if it ate up more of his limited energy and time.

Fensan's Kitchen was a modest Pantoran-Mandalorian food stall that shared its space with various other vendors at a minor shopping mall. It was somewhat hidden; the kind of place you only see if you really look. It also happened to be one of the few eating spots that could remind a homesick Senator of a cheap, home-cooked meal while also granting her privacy. Fox didn't mind it as he wasn't a picky eater, and had come to enjoy both types of flavors.

When the couple reached Fensan's, only a few levels down and a short walk, they both paused to look at the overhead menu. Riyo let Fox take his time, and rested her head on his shoulder. Fox liked to try new things sometimes, while Riyo had known what she had had a hankering for hours ago.

"Ready, sarad?" Riyo looked up at Fox and nodded. Like Fox, she too was tired, but wouldn't truly show it. They approached the register, ordered, split the bill with the credits from their respective pockets, and then sat down to wait for their food.

A few moments passed in silence, Fox rubbing Riyo's hand with his thumb. Both content in the brief peace, and tired from their respective days.

Riyo started, "After this, would you like to have a nightcap at my apartment?" Do you want to sip at an ounce of hard liquor from my homeworld and exchange horror stories from the day?

"I have an early morning tomorrow, but I wouldn't say no to extending the evening. Why, did you restock?" My day wasn't so bad to need alcohol to cope with it all this time, but I would like to go home with you. How bad was your day?

"I understand, but I wouldn't mind some company tonight. Long day at the office." I need to spend time with someone who won't politely call me a blue naiive bantha herder to my face like that bitch Senator from Kamino.

"That bill giving you trouble again?"

Riyo forced a chuckle, "You have no idea. Anyway, how was your day? Is Thorn back from that injury yet?"

Two trays of food were placed in front of Riyo and Fox, startling them.

"Keji, you should have called us! You didn't have to bring us our food-"

"Senator Chuchi, it's no problem. Enjoy your meal." Keji, one of the owners, left Riyo and Fox's table.

"I swear to the goddess, that is one of the kindest women in the galaxy," Riyo said before taking a bite of her meat and root vegetable stew. "You were saying?"

"Work was fine. Organizing patrols, yelling at the boys, paperwork. Thorn is back, yes, I'll tell him you asked." Fox replied with a smile. He chose to wait for his entree to cool off, so he picked at the slaw on the side.

"Does he still call me the pretty senator from Pantora?" She giggled.

Fox's grin grew. Yes. "Not really, not anymore."

Riyo took a few more bites. She was used to scalding hot food.

"Did you drink enough water today?"

"I tried, do I get points for that? I had at least two" three "mugs of caf and three" two "mugs of water. What about you?" Fox moved on to his entree.

"You absolutely get points for that. Especially since I know you prefer the bigger mugs. As for me, I--" Riyo's sentence ended abruptly.

"You alright?"

"I'm not sure if I had much water today. Tea at breakfast, and maybe a sip at lunch? I can't remember."

Fox shook his head and laughed. "Your head doesn't hurt, does it?"

"Not this time."

"I'll be right back," Fox left the table, and returned with a huge plastic cup of water with two straws. "That'll get us on track."

Riyo smiled softly.

"Thanks, love."

Your Soothing Presence (Foxiyo Week)

This is my entry for the first day of Foxiyo Week 2024 (@foxiyoweek), using the prompts DATE NIGHT and "One dance - just one, that's all".

I am so sorry if this seemed rushed. I started writing this a little while ago, but of course I waited until the last moment to finish it *classic Lupe*. But I wanted to post it today anyway because of the prompt! Happy Foxiyo week everyone <3 (I might edit this later and come up with a better title if I can find the motivation/inspiration, but I hope you'll enjoy this anyway!)

Summary: Commander Fox needs some soothing when he finds himself in a situation he wasn't trained for Rating: Teen and up Tags: fluff (and lots of nerves, poor Fox) Words: 1.664 Pairing: CC-1010 Commander Fox x Senator Riyo Chuchi Read this one-shot here on AO3

Just act like it's any other evening.

But it wasn't like any other evening. Normally, he would stand stiff and stoic, not easily affected by the wild occurrences on an average shift. But tonight, his hands felt itchy and sweaty below his blacks. His armour barely seemed to fit, the rims of it etching into his skin. He had this strange feeling inside his guts - something he hadn't experienced before. It was not like the dread or fear for his men's safety he was used to. No, this feeling was different. Not nearly as unpleasant.

It was a recurring task for him to accompany senators around Coruscant, and this particular evening started off no differently. He was granted a few greetings from politicians as he walked through the corridor, his mind set on one office and one alone. When he reached the door, he hesitated a bit longer than usual before announcing his presence. He cleared his throat and took a deep breath. It didn't take long before the door whooshed open, the Senator behind it looking up at him with her sparkling golden eyes.

“Commander Fox,” she greeted him, her voice diplomatic as always, but with a subtle sweetness to it. Fox returned the greeting with a quick nod before addressing her. “Are you ready to leave, Senator Chuchi?” A subtle smile appeared on her face, and it made the strange feeling in his guts grow even stronger. “More ready than ever, Commander,” she replied, before stepping outside the office.

The walk through the Senate Building’s corridors was almost like any other; the Senator in the front, leading the way, with Fox just behind them, his eyes sharp on his visor as he continuously checked their surroundings. But still, everything felt off and out of place. He even felt an uncomfortable pressure on his chest whenever he crossed paths with any Coruscant Guards, as they nodded to him respectfully.

Fox was able to breathe a bit when they made it outside, feeling like there were less eyes on them as they emerged in the darkness of the evening. But there was only so much room to breathe; the short cab flight towards Coruscant’s entertainment district did make his throat tighten, making him unable to speak. His head was spinning and he silently scolded himself for his behaviour, like he was some lovestruck cadet.

When they finally made it to the district, their appearances turned out inconspicuous between all the colourful people walking the Coruscanti streets. Fox let the Senator guide him, as she knew exactly where they were headed; Fox followed behind without question.

When they made it inside the refined establishment, they were welcomed by a dimly lit room. The place was almost abandoned; an old Ithorian male was sitting at the bar, lost in thoughts as he stared into his drink, whilst an elegantly dressed Weequay bartender kept cleaning the already shining bar. The slow Bith jazz playing in the background made for a relaxed mood.

But to Fox, relaxing was a luxury he could not afford, and thus, he was not used to it. As he kept scanning their surroundings, expecting danger behind every corner, he suddenly felt the Senator subtly touching his gloved fingers to snap him back into the present. “It’s alright, Fox,” she whispered calmingly, just loud enough for him to hear. He gazed down through his visor and met her reassuring eyes as they looked right up at him. Although she couldn’t see his eyes through his visor, she knew perfectly well where to find them.

He let out a deep sigh, trying to rid his nerves with it, before granting her an appreciative nod. Her pastel purple lips slid into a small yet genuine smile before she turned around and guided him to a booth in the back of the establishment. They sat down side by side, Fox making sure he had a clear view of the room in front of them. He almost didn’t notice how the Senator gently put her hand on his vambrace.

“I think you can take your helmet off by now,” she said to him, and when he looked at her, he noticed how she was looking at him in full anticipation. “But what if anyone recognises me?” he returned in all seriousness, making no preparations to take the helmet off. He watched how her cheeks lifted when her lips slid into a broad smile, a playful flicker in her eyes. “I think your armour might have given you away,” she chuckled at him. He followed her eyes down to his chest, as if he didn’t believe her. But as soon as he took in the combination of white and red, the credit dropped. Of course; obviously, she was correct.

Just as he was taking off his helmet, a Twi’lek waitress walked up to their booth and welcomed them to the establishment. Her smooth welcoming faltered for a brief moment when she noticed how Fox slid his hand through his luscious greying curls, making them bounce from his scalp once his fingers moved aside. She regained herself quickly and asked about their preferred drinks. “I-I’m still on duty,” Fox stammered awkwardly, whilst readjusting his already neatly fitting armpieces. The Senator chuckled at his side before turning towards the waitress. “I’d like a Coruscopolitan, please, and one Pantoran Passion for my friend here,” she addressed the waitress kindly.

The waitress repeated the order before rushing off towards the bar to get their drinks. Fox was still fidgeting with his armour pieces, until the Senator’s hand on top of his calmed him down. “Relax, nothing will happen, we’re totally fine,” she soothed him, whilst carefully moving a bit closer towards him. He cleared his throat before slowly shaking his head. “I, er- I'm not sure if this was a good idea. I don't want to get you into trouble if.. If people find out,” he stammered nervously, still not looking her in the eyes. She leaned forward, trying to catch his gaze. “Fox, it's nuna-ball night. No one is going to pay attention to a couple on a date.”

Her choice of the words ‘couple’ and ‘date’ shook him from his nervous state and finally made him look into her eyes. His breathing slowed down in an instant, his overflowing thoughts suddenly clearing as he focussed on her. Her big, golden eyes worked soothingly on him, and without thinking, he reached for her cheek. With the softest touch, he caressed the yellow markings on her blue skin. She chuckled affectionately before she closed her eyes and leaned into his touch.

Their moment was interrupted by the waitress returning with their drinks. She shot Fox a quick look before leaving them again, but it was totally lost on him. It wasn’t on the Senator, who found amusement in Fox’s ignorance. She couldn’t help but laugh, making the Commander look at her in confusement. “What?” he asked puzzled, but she only answered him with a broad smile. She nodded towards the drink in front of him. “What do you think of it?”

His gaze slid towards the beverage, carefully examining it. The drink itself was as blue as a Pantoran’s skin, and it was garnished with the peel of a golden fruit. “I, er- I like its colour. I think that’s my favourite colour,” he observed slowly, before glancing at her. “It’s nearly as pretty as you are,” he mumbled, before awkwardly taking a sip of the beverage. He missed how the Senator’s cheeks coloured a shade of indigo.

“The taste is good, too,” Fox started, before slowly continuing: “It’s nearly as good as-” “-as caf?” she interrupted him with a smile. He looked at her in surprise, only to realise it wasn’t a secret how much the Marshal Commander of the Coruscant Guard liked his caf. So for the first time that evening, he allowed a smile on his face. “Yes, as caf,” he concluded, before taking another sip of his beverage.

After some more sips, some hearty small talk and some gentle laughter, it was the Senator’s turn to clear her throat. “Fox, would you like to dance?” The Commander nearly choked on his drink, not prepared for the question. He looked at her, waiting to find out if she was joking, but by the expectant look in her eyes, he knew she was being serious. “I-I-I’m not sure if that’s a good idea. What if.. What if someone sees us together?” he objected cautiously, for he didn’t want to hurt her feelings.

But instead of being hurt, the Senator managed a playful smile on her face. “We’ve already been together all evening. I don’t think a dance would make anything more suspicious,” she elaborated, and deep down, he knew she was right. His eyes darted around nervously, trying to come up with some logical excuse, but he was pulled from his train of thoughts when the Senator cupped his chin in her hand and guided his gaze towards her. “One dance - just one, that's all,” she said softly, and right there, he knew he couldn’t refuse. His eyes softened before he nodded at her.

His heart was beating so fast, he was afraid it would come thumping outside his chest. He was trained for so many situations and scenarios, but nothing had prepared him for this. But without the need to discuss it out loud, she understood, and she gently guided his hands to the right spots when they made it to the floor. And everything after just came naturally. He tightened the grasp around her waist to pull her closer as they slow-danced to the music, as the two of them shuffled over the floor. The Senator gently rested her head on his chest plate, just below his shoulder. He put his chin on top of her head and closed his eyes. “Thank you, Riyo,” he whispered, and for a moment, Fox seemed to forget everything else in the galaxy.

Date night

  Foxiyo week is finally here!

A quick A/N, I created this series, it's called 'They killed Palps and everything is fine', and I thought that I could tie my fills for Foxiyo week to this series as I think it goes well with the prompts. You don't have to read the series to understand this, don't worry, it's just some barely connected one shots. All you need to know is that Palpatine is dead, Riyo and Fox are dating already and they sorta accidentally adopted a clone cadet. I hope you enjoy reading!

  Fox was trying to work.

  Riyo seemed set on getting him to stop working.

  "Could you please stop doing that?"

  "Doing what?" Riyo looked at him innocently. It wasn't her practiced 'I don't know what you're talking about' face she used when convincing politicians and other influential people that she didn't manipulate them at all, no. She actually didn't realize just what she was doing to Fox just sitting on his desk.

  "Sitting there like that."

  "Why?"

  "You're distracting me."

  "Am I now?" Fox shouldn't have told her that. She just realized just how difficult it was for Fox to focus with her around and she was going to use that. Fox watched in horror as Riyo went over to him and sat on his lap.

  "Riyo! There is a CCTV!" Fox hissed. He hoped no one found any reason to go through the footage in his office. It wasn't that he would get in trouble, he was a commander after all, but Thorn and Thire would never let him live that down. Fox made a point of scolding every trooper who brought their significant other to their office because that was their workspace, they were supposed to be working, not stuck staring at their partner like Fox was in the moment.

  "Then take me somewhere where there isn't," Riyo challenged him. And Fox couldn't really refuse her this, could he?

  "Just let me finish one report."

  "One report."

  Fox knew better than to even try doing anything more.

  They ended up in a random park a few levels down from the Coruscant Guard headquarters. Fox used to try to take Riyo to more popular dating places, like fancy restaurants or the cinema, but somehow Riyo being a senator and making about three times more money than Fox always ruined it a bit. She always insisted on paying at least for herself in not them both. Riyo liked to talk about equality. Fox didn't really see what was equal about Riyo paying for basically everything, he would very much like to treat her to a nice date sometimes,  but he knew how to pick his fights. Instead of arguing, he just suggested places that were free, like the park. It seemed to be working so far.

  "This park is pretty nice. How do you know about it?"

  "I passed through here a few times, patrolling or chasing after a suspect. You know, doing the usual Coruscant Guard commander stuff."

  "Are you implying your job is more exciting than mine?" Riyo asked, mock offended.

  "More interesting? Maybe. More dangerous? Definitely not."

  "Come on, it's not me who is chasing after the worst scum of the galaxy on a daily basis."

  "You've been in the senate for three years, that's not even a whole election period. You've received an insane number of threats, you've been almost kidnapped, twice, you've been shot at, five times, you've been almost stabbed-"

  "So what if my job isn't the safest?"

  "Don't interrupt me, I'm explaining why you're my biggest headache. Well, second biggest headache."

  "Just second? Who is the first?"

  "Well, senator Amidala holds the record for the most assassination attempts at the moment." Fox looked at Riyo. She looked strangely determined. Oh no... "Riyo, it's not a competition, you know that, right?"

  "Yeah, sure."

  "You know, maybe you should learn some self defense if you're planning on keeping pushing for unpopular opinions in the senate."

  "If you teach me."

  "Of course I'll teach you." It wasn't like Fox could deny Riyo anything, especially when it was something that was going to protect her. Most people assumed that he, as a guard, was the one who had a risky job. It was a risky job but so was being a senator. Fox has been working around the senate ever since he got deployed from Kamino, he was working to protect the senators. So yes, he knew how dangerous the job of a politician could be. Voicing the wrong opinion could lead to numerous assassination attempts. And while it got better after the war was over, senators could still be in danger.

  "What do you say we start tomorrow?"

  "Tomorrow? Sure. You will want to get Sky out of the house, though. The kid is good. He would laugh at you. Now that I think about it, where is he? Where did you ditch him for today's evening?"

  "He is sleeping over at Thanh's."

  Fox should've probably assumed that. Their adorable little cadet was best friends with Cody's adorable little cadet. By nat-born standards, they were cousins, by clone standards, they were brothers. It was rather complicated so they all just opted to call them friends. Thanh often visited them, he liked Riyo's huge villa that apparently came with the post of a senator. Sky in return spent a lot of time at Cody's house, because Cody being a stay at home dad while getting doing some courses on one of the many universities of Coruscant could watch the kids in the afternoon when Riyo and Fox were busy. Sky was technically old enough to stay alone at home for a few hours but Fox always felt calmer when he knew someone was watching over him.

  "We should do this more often," Riyo said suddenly. "Just take a break and go out."

  "Yeah, we probably should." Fox knew this. But they were both busy and most of the time they weren't working was spent with their son. Not that Fox minded, he loved their child. In fact, sometimes he was tempted to just leave work and become a full time trophy husband. Just get Sky ready for school, then watch some holos, get his nails done, cook lunch and drop it off at Riyo's office, gossip with Cody, then pick Sky up from school and tend to him for the rest of the day. That sounded pretty boring.

  "What do you say we go for a dinner on the weekend? Senator Organa recommended me a good restaurant."

  "I'm not sure." It wasn't that Fox didn't want it. He immediately felt guilty when he saw Riyo's soft smile falter. He rushed to explain. "I wanted to spend the weekend with Sky."

  "We can still do that. This would be just one evening."

  "Alright, sounds great."

  "Let's enjoy our walk now, shall we?"

  "Of course," Fox agreed easily. Problems will always be there, a nice, quiet night at the park won't.
