Ao3 Brothers-AU Part II
Kix sighed deeply and made his way to the quarters. Another long day was over. Bringing the galaxy back in order after it had crashed down was a tough task and he tried again to wrap his mind around the fact, that the battle at the Jedi Temple had been only a week ago. Their visit to Kamino was only a few days ago! And yet it warmed his heart when he gave way to a whispering group of cadets. The clones were maybe 4 or 5 years old and followed Tilt closely, he nodded contentedly to Kix as they passed each other. With a little smile he watched them go and then turned back to his destination. With sure steps he overcame the last few meters to the quarters and opened the door to the Generals study.
As soon as he could catch a glimpse of what was going on inside, his good mood faded and he entered the room in silence. The door behind him slid shut and blocked the light from the hallway, only a datapad lit up the darkness. Echo leaned against a wall and was reading, Fives leaned against his right shoulder and blinked is eyes open, as Kix entered. Cutup sat on Echos left side, his outstretched legs serving as a pillow for Hevy and Droidbait. Rex sat next to Fives, Jesse stretched out on the floor in front of him. He had a hand gently wrapped around Ahsoka's ankle, she looked like she would never want to leave Rex's arms again. Her back rested against Five's side, her nose somehow buried in Rex's arm. She sat there that twisted, that the Commander's grip was all that kept her from falling to the ground. But Rex made sure she stayed safe and warm with him.
Kix quietly took off his armor and moved over to his brothers, with a quiet puff he sagged on the floor next to Rex and stretched his legs, Jesse rolled over a little and laid his head on them. Sighing, Kix stretched once, then wrapped a hand around Ahsoka's other ankle. She kept shaking and when she felt his hand she sniffed and shuddered. "Just me vod'ika.", Kix mumbled softly and leaned his head against the wall, in the silence he could hear Rex humming softly to the young woman in his lap. Ahsoka relaxed again and turned her head a little, with tearful eyes she blinked at Kix and he patted her foot lightly. Sniffling, she closed her eyes again, her muscles losing tension while Jesse's hand moved higher and aimlessly painted patterns on her bare calf. Kix raised his other hand and cupped Ahsoka's feet, her toes were kriffing cold. He watched as Fives and Echo kept glancing briefly at Ahsoka and talking with their hands in the light of the datapad. All of his brothers tried to hide their worry and pain, but Kix could still see it in their eyes.
She had made such good progress in the last months of the war. Kix had wanted to jump in joy the first time she slept through the night after weeks. He had been so proud!
And now they were back at the beginning, the last few days had ruined everything. Ahsoka shuddered again and Droidbait scrambled to his feet, Kix watched as he opened one of the few cupboards in Ahsoka's study in the semi-darkness. He took out one of the much too thin military blankets and a couple of socks. Without a word he handed the latter Kix and the Medic unrolled the socks before carefully pulling them over Ahsoka's feet. Than he wrapped his hands around her toes again und rubbed his thumps over the soles of her feet. "I'm sorry.", she whispered softly and rubbed her nose against Rex's sleeve. Droidbait clicked his tongue and threw the blanket over her, Jesse came to his aid and tucked the blanket around the girl. The group moved cautiously closer together. Droidbait raised a hand, two fine scars adorned it, and rubbed Ahsoka's shoulder gently. Fives and Echo quietly joined in the steady hum and even though Ahsoka didn't stop crying, Kix could see her take a deep breath.
