Could you do headcanons of 501st as romance tropes please?
notes: 501st x fem reader
content warning: mature
rex: knight in shining armor, duty vs. love, secret relationship
♥︎ “Sometimes when you look at me, I can barely control myself.”
♥︎ rex knows you’re no damsel in distress but doesn’t hesitate to protect you anyways. protecting you is second nature to him - guiding you through crowds with his large hand spanning across your lower back, subtly positioning himself at your side when anyone gets too close
♥︎ often torn between his duty as a captain and his endless love for you. he'd always choose you over everything, even though you'd never ask that of him
♥︎ your secret relationship with rex means pulling each other into hidden storage rooms late at night, hurriedly undressing and sneaking kisses during rare, fleeting moments of privacy
♥︎ “Can't really behave myself when you're so close. I’ll try my hardest to be good tonight, but only for you, baby.”
♥︎ jesse has always been a shameless flirt. his brothers joke that you're the only person on the planet immune to his charms, and that only makes him chase you harder
♥︎ he'll follow you around like a lost puppy at the bar, trying every cheesy pickup line in his arsenal, his eyes brightening whenever you giggle at a particularly dumb one. later, he'll gleefully return to his squad and tell them, "I'm winning her over, I know it" "you're not even close, vod" they'll all argue, shaking their heads, but he doesn't care - hearing your bubbly laugh is a win in his book
♥︎ "what would it take for you to go out to dinner with me? do I have to get on my knees?" "yes," you tell him, only to be shocked when he actually drops to the floor. he winks up at you. "I'm good on my knees in other ways, too" he says, chuckling & flexing when you playfully swat at his muscled bicep
fives: best friends to lovers, love confession in the rain
♥︎ “I’ve held back for years and pretended I don’t notice those mouth-breathers you've dated that have never been good enough for you. I’ve always pretended it doesn’t bother me. But when I’m near you, I can’t lie to myself anymore. I could take care of you. I want to. I want to make you happy.”
♥︎ fives is your best friend. he's known you for years, groaning quietly to himself every time he sees you go on a date with someone who doesn't deserve you. secretly wishes all your dates would get hit by a speeder
♥︎ he's yearns. fives has never been shy to share his feelings before, but this is different. you're different. he's always wanted to ask you out, but he's terrified of ruining your friendship & holds back
♥︎ only admits his feelings one night when he just can't take it anymore. he takes a shot for courage and shows up on your front doorstep, slightly panting, a small bouquet of your favorite flowers clutched tight in one hand, his brown hair tousled and slick from the pouring rain
♥︎ his frantic love confession quickly turns into desperate, passionate kisses, first on your lips, then brushing down the column of your throat, ravenous and intimate. you're so soft and pliant in his arms, he can't believe he waited this long to kiss you and never wants to stop
dogma: grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract
♥︎ “You’re making me lose control, darling, and I hate that. I hate that you’re the only person I want to see every day, even if it means disobeying orders.”
♥︎ dogma is tough to crack, but you're determined. it's fun, yet difficult, to catch glimpses of the person hidden beneath that tough soldier exterior, but you've never backed down from a challenge before
♥︎ when you're both in public, he keeps his bucket on as much as possible because he knows he can't hide his blush whenever you speak to him. he also knows his brothers would endlessly roast him for it
♥︎ you argue like an old married couple. and it turns him on
♥︎ keeps a few holos of you on his datapad, even though it's against regulation. finds himself smiling whenever he looks at them, then quickly tries to compose his face into the most neutral expression he can manage, even though his heart is pounding
hardcase: golden retriever boyfriend, unrequited pining (at first)
♥︎ “Honestly? Knowing I’d hear your voice today is basically what kept me alive through the last two months on Felucia. I know you probably want to say something like, ‘Oh Hardcase, I missed you so much. Hardcase, baby, you’re obviously the bravest and most handsome trooper in the 501st—’ What? Just let me have this. Then you can go back to pretending you’re not desperately falling for me.”
♥︎ loudly announces to his entire squad that he's fallen in love with you the moment he's laid eyes on you. from then on, he's determined to win you over
♥︎ when you're looking for a seat at the bar, he'll always offer you his seat, but first he'll pat his lap and seductively raise an eyebrow "you could always sit here. I won't bite unless you want me to" fives will roll his eyes and elbow him, hard. "you can't say that to a woman." "why? do you want me to bite you instead, fives? you could just ask me"
♥︎ will send a message that he misses you even though he just left the house barely five minutes ago
♥︎ playfully clingy and needy whenever he wants something "wow, it's sooo late, I really wish my incredibly beautiful and perfect girlfriend loved me and would let me carry her home so I can suffocate between her soft, warm thighs tonight"
kix: hurt/comfort, tending to wounds
♥︎ “I know you’re strong, sweetheart, but let me take care of you anyways.”
♥︎ you've always been eager to prove yourself & kix has always been respectful of your space, though it sometimes comes off as him being aloof & strangely detached. before you started dating, there were times where you couldn't tell if he actually liked you or not, but when you took a nasty fall one day, everything changed
♥︎ he rushes to your side, kneeling beside you, brushing off your weak attempts at persuading him that everything's fine. you grimace as he inspects your injury with the gentlest hands, "I thought you didn't care, kix" he looks up at you with kind brown eyes. "I've always cared about you. more than you possibly know"
♥︎ his love is quiet, but passionate. it's easier for him to show all the ways he loves you through little acts of service - tucking sweet, handwritten notes into your pockets for you to find later, learning to cook all your favorite meals & making them whenever you've had a stressful day
♥︎ slides an arm around your waist and not-so-subtly refers to you as "his girl" whenever people get too close to you
tup: oblivious to love, slow burn
♥︎ “I didn’t know it was possible to feel this way. You're my best friend... I’ve known you for so long that I can’t imagine life without you.”
♥︎ you've known each other for awhile and the entirety of the 501st seems to know how tup feels about you before he realizes it himself. he'll be staring at you across the bar, completely love-struck, and he won't even realize that everyone's watching him until jesse reaches over & taps his jaw closed "you gonna shut that vod, or are you gonna ask her out eventually?"
♥︎ gets overwhelmed from all the dating advice from his brothers. eventually tries one of jesse's pickup lines on you & completely botches the punchline, but he's so earnest and sweet that you can't help laugh anyways. his brothers are astonished "how the hell did that work? jesse gives terrible advice"
♥︎ he's your soft protector, always so thoughtful and chivalrous. he'll lace his fingers through yours whenever you're walking home together, easily lifting you over patches of snow on the pathways so your shoes never get wet
