It had been a month since your friend- lover? Whatever Cass was, he had left.
Left one month ago and taken your heart with him.
You supposed you couldn't blame him. You should have known from the start when you had found him working himself to the bone on that farm that he was temporary.
Too good to be true.
He was a clone, true, but he shined with such a uniqueness that you had never seen even from those of natural birth. Of course, you hadn't known the first part until that last month, when he had been told by the farmer that'd once had him under his thumb what he was and where he came from during an argument about the wages your friend was due.
You had never seen another clone this side of the outer rim, you couldn't have known.
Ct-2568, if you recalled correctly, was his number. He had been so happy upon remembering, you hadn't that heart to express the sinking dread that filled you as he talked of his brothers, the jedi, and...
The war.
Not long after, he came to you with the news that you knew had been coming since regaining his memories, maybe even since you'd met him;
He was leaving.
It shouldn't have hurt you as much as it did, but you could already feel the crushing familiar loneliness settling back into place as he rambled to you about how he was a soldier and how he had a duty to the Republic.
You had only nodded, mumbling a quick, "That's amazing, Cass." Before having to excuse yourself to another room to go break down completely.
He could tell that you were upset, you knew, it was just too hard to hide it from him. Cass had seen so much of you, both physically and otherwise, he could read you like an open book.
Another reason his abandonment hurt so much.
The day he finally left was possibly the worst day of your life.
You had finally found someone who liked you, wanted to be around you, said he loved you, and he was just... leaving.
Not able to look him in the eye as he held you close to him, you rubbed a thumb against the strap of his pack slung over his shoulder in a weak attempt to ground yourself.
It did not work.
You were out of tears, though. So instead you stared blankly ahead, numb as he pet your hair.
"You know I have to do this." He said softly.
Nodding, you pulled away, wrapping the blanket around your shoulders tighter.
"Good luck."
You meant it, you were terrified for him. The thought of Cass being cannon fodder for a republic that didn't care about him was paralyzing for you to think about.
But this was his decision, you couldn't force him to stay when he didn't want to.
He smiled at you, stepping off the porch and walking down the path a little ways before you stopped him, “And, Cass?”
He perked up, turning “Yes?”
“Don't come around here anymore,”
You walked back into the house, looking at him one more time, tears brimming in your eyes, before closing the door, “For both of us.”
All of this, yet here he was, at your doorstep once again.
"Cass?" You uttered, on the verge of fainting.
He didn't look far away himself, the once strong man with meat on his bones now all lean muscle, looking days away from his last meal. But maybe that was the desperation in his eyes.
"Cyare!" He exclaimed, dropping his pack and grabbing your hands tightly.
The man looked drained of life and joy, staring at you like you were his salvation.
He kissed your forehead, cheeks, and lips before you could think to push him away, "Cyar’ika, my light, my baby, sweetest girl-"
You shook away from his hold, fighting your excitement, relief, and now slightly dizzy reaction to frown up at him, “I told you not to come here anymore.”
Sweetheart, I was wrong- I never should have left!” He gripped your hands again before you could pull them away.
“I knew I had made a mistake as soon as I stepped off the porch, I haven't stopped thinking about you since.”
“Cass, don't be ridiculous-”
“I can't focus, I can't sleep- I feel like I'm drowning without you!”
He dropped to his knees before you could process, forehead pressed to your hands.
Cass wailed into his hold on you, “Please baby let me come home!”
Your eyes widened, staring down at him for a beat.
Your heart did ache for him as he sniffled into you, screamed for you to take him back into your home and never let him leave again, but you didn't know how to fix what he had done leaving.
In the end, your heart won out.
“Okay,” You said weakly, “Okay, Cass.”
He let out a sob at that, hands flying from holding yours to pulling you as close to him as possible by your waist, “Thank you, cyar'ika. You won't regret it.”
You hoped not.
Later that night, after some gentle coaxing and convincing from Cass, the two of you were cuddled up to eachother in your bed.
He didn't know it, but you were sleeping more peacefully than you had been since he left, snoring lightly as your head rested on his bicep.
Cass opened his eyes to look down at you giddily.
He couldn't sleep, how could he when you were finally real and finally right in front of him again?
You were so perfect, just a soft as he remembered, so beautiful and just you.
He had cried every night since leaving, unable to push thoughts of you from his mind. It had made him unfocused, sloppy, drawing the ire of his squad mates and further isolating him.
Even besides that, Cass couldn't believe he had ever given this up, and for what? A republic that saw him as nothing but a number?
No, he was right back where he belonged now. Next to you.
Though...
He whined, squeezing his legs together. The erection he sported was near painful, but he wouldn't dream of making a move this soon after getting back.
He had to make up for leaving in the first place. He knew how much he had hurt you, but he had thought at the time that you could make other connections, ones with no other obligations. Now that thought filled him with a deep, seething agitation and panic like he had never felt before.
He couldn't lose you, not again.
Still, the thought of your perfect cunt squeezing around him, you writhing beneath him and making those adorable noises had him nearly passing out due to how much blood was rushing from his head down to his crotch.
He was tempted to make a trip to the bathroom and relieve himself, but he knew it wouldn't do much. His stamina when it came to you was intensive and long-lasting, he'd be hard again within minutes.
Besides, he couldn't leave you looking so adorable and sleepy. He loved just looking at you, his sweetest girl.
You made a soft noise in your sleep, breaking him from his thoughts. The trooper smiled down at you, taking a breath to ease his excitement before leaning down to press a kiss to your temple.
No, he grinned, he was never letting you out of his sight again.
When you were little, your mom used to say that everyone in the galaxy has their destined soulmate. A person meant to be with you by fate. A person who will love you more than anything in the world. Your soulmate.
Now you’ve grown up, but your destiny is still not in your bed. You start working in the Senate when the war begins. You’re an assistant to your people’s representative. At some point in your life on Coruscant, you meet them. And then some more. And more. All of them. Every single one was your soulmate. Some looked at you with longing. Some with indifference. And some often poked their nose into your affairs. Yeah, Fox?
For any Snips veterans who were on my old Tumblr and were awaiting an update for The 'Man' in Commando:
I decided to do a second chapter two years later 🥳 And I’m going to drop the whole work off here because why not! I also have ever so slightly revised the old chapter.

Read on AO3
Your job wasn’t overly glamorous, but it sufficed. The countless shinies trying to get you in bed and the wrangling of intoxicated troopers got old very quickly, as did the neon lighting and the smell of unshowered soldiers. Tonight, 79s was packed to the rafters. Hundreds of clones danced, drank and unwound under the blanket of cheap, flickering neon lighting. The GAR was celebrating from a successful campaign in the Expansion Region, as you had heard from every second trooper chewing your ear off.
The bar was a mess. One of your service droids was out of operation, falling victim to flying glass of spotchka that was hurled over the bar. Pouring yet another round of shots, you placed the last one on the tray, picked it up and turned to carry it over to the larrikin of a trooper that probably shouldn’t have been allowed to order more drinks. Before you could even take one step, a stray service droid was underneath you, tripping you and spilling a whole round of shots all over your front, the droid, and the floor.
“Kriff, AZI!” you shouted. More items to the list of things that had gone wrong tonight.
An even stickier floor and another broken droid. “Get that trooper another round,” you muttered to the nearest functioning droid. Collecting yourself, you stood up and brushed some stray hairs behind your ear. Before you could turn to make your way to the backroom to get changed, something, someone, caught your eye.
A T-shaped blue visor glowed through the crowd, pushing shinies aside, as he followed three other familiar troopers. The famed Delta Squad. Except this time, the fourth member of the quartet was with them. He was the most striking, and the most intimidating. A blood-coloured handprint stained the face of his helmet, down his arms and splattered over his chest. He followed his brothers, yet kept his distance. Shinies cleared their way for them, for him, as if he had the blue shadow virus. He was the only one out of his brothers that still donned his helmet. The buzz of troopers and thumping of the music faded into the background as you watched him curiously. Who was this Commando?
In your trance you hardly noticed that he had separated from his brothers and was approaching the bar. Approaching you.
Snapping out of it, you greeted him, offering him a smile. “What can I get for you, Commando?”
“Whiskey. Neat, please." His charming, gravelly voice startled you. He didn’t sound like any of the other clones. His voice was deep, harsh, and sounded like could take out a battle droid in and of itself.
“No worries," you said, clearing your throat that was suddenly dry. “Coming right up."
You turned your back to the trooper, reaching to the top shelf for some of your finest whiskey. Not that this bar carried anything overly remarkable. You felt your ill-fitting tight shirt ride up as you reached above your head, embarrassment blazing across your cheeks as you felt the trooper’s eyes burning into your exposed skin, even through the helmet he still wore. Why does this Commando intimidate you so much? You deal with troopers every day. But he was different.
You grabbed the neck of the bottle and turned to him. Even through the helmet, you could feel his eyes meet yours, where they lingered for but a moment. You poured his drink and sparked up conversation to try and relieve your nerves.
“I hope that isn't real blood, Commando, because I may just have to have you removed from the premises." You raised an inquisitorial eyebrow, still pouring the whiskey. He didn’t respond.
“I know that you’re a soldier and all, but having blood smeared across your bucket isn’t exactly appropriate, let alone appetising.” You teased. Still no answer. You finished preparing his drink and sat it on the bar in front of where he had since taken a seat.
“Not talkative tonight?” you asked, desperately trying to relieve the awkwardness that had overcome you.
“Sev. Call me Sev. And I’m quite happy just sitting here listening to you, mesh’la.” His baritone voice made your stomach flutter, as did his compliment. It was different coming from him than any other trooper that had tried their luck. He raised his hands to grip either side of his helmet and slowly removed it, revealing himself.
Thick, glossy curls of jet black hair curtained his tanned face, his deep amber eyes maintaining eye contact with you. A pink scar sliced from his mid forehead, over his eye and cheekbone, down to his chin. His thick jaw clenched as a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. He had obviously caught you ogling at him.
He wrapped his large, gloved hand around the glass in front of him and raised it to his lips, before lowering it back down to sit on the sticky surface of the bar.
“Not bad. You have good taste…….” he trailed off, looking at you with questioning eyes.
“I don’t give my name away to just any charming trooper at my bar," you snickered, your lips curling into a cheeky smile.
“So be it, I’ll take that as a challenge.” He teasingly rolled his eyes, rocking in his chair.
Your eyes lowered to his chestplate, where a set of four numbers carved into the red-stained plastoid stood out.
4982.
Must be his designation number, you thought.
“About the blood," his thick voice cut in once again, “Don’t worry mesh’la, it may or may not be paint, but why don’t you give it the old sniff test and find out?"
An incriminating shade of crimson flushed to your cheeks and you felt yourself grow hot, and it wasn’t just the steam from the glass cleaner below you. Wound up, you gathered yourself.
“I don’t sniff clones in my spare time, Commando.” You smiled politely as you could manage, “Not only is it unprofessional, but the smell of the battlefield isn’t exactly the most pleasant."
“79s smells like that every night," he stated. His gaze felt as if he could read your very thoughts and feelings.
"I better get back to work." You shrunk down underneath his gaze and cowered away from the banter.
You turned away from Sev, nerves or excitement-you couldn’t really tell-still fluttering in your stomach. Before you could distract yourself too much, a very familiar pair of ARC troopers in blue were waiting at the bar for you.
“Look who's here!" Fives said, “My favourite bartender! Somebody has to keep those droids in line!” He gestured at the broken droids still on the bar floor, elbowing his twin and bursting out into laughter.
“I’ve been too busy to bin them, obviously." You defended. Busy with Sev.
With his laughter fading, Fives’ gaze slid to look over your shoulder.
“Mesh’la, ‘t looks like somebody has their eye on you tonight," Fives acknowledged, nodding in the direction that Sev had been sitting. “We’ll leave you to it." Fives and Echo turned to go back to the booth where the rest of the 501st regulars sat.
Once again, that feeling of embarrassment and intimidation flooded over you in spite of your false sense of confidence minutes earlier. You could do this! You spoke to troopers every night without any nerves. He is just like all of his brothers. Right?
You slowly turned, (perhaps to your demise) only to be met with the sight of Sev undressing you with his eyes. You suddenly felt stupid in your tight black blouse and slacks. It wasn't as if his imagination was picturing you in your work uniform, anyway. Swallowing, you walked back over to what was now his side of the bar, avoiding the broken droids on the floor. You only had your dignity and one patron to lose, after all.
“Can I help you, Commando?” You asked, trying to snap him out of his lascivious gaze.
“You know those guys?” He snorted, his eyes slowly lingered down your neck and to your decolletage.
You ignored his wandering eyes, despite the warmth it sparked between your legs.
“They’re here all the time, unlike you. You’re a new face," you teased, raising an eyebrow.
He choked on his drink, stifling a laugh, trying not to break his stoic, mysterious facade.
“I don’t exactly get a lot of time to celebrate, you know, with the war and all,” he smirked, the eye contact practically melting you into a puddle.
“Pardon me, sir.” You cooed, fluttering your lashes, laying it on heavily, “How could I forget, it’s not like I work at a clone bar or anything."
You’re not sure what set it off for him, but an animalistic look devoured his amber eyes.
He leant towards you, a low growl building in his chest. Not sure if you should be scared or aroused, you stayed put, indulging yourself in the sudden proximity. Surely he just wanted you close so you could hear him over the noise of the bar, right?
His rough, gloved hands caressed your chin oh-so softly as he brought his face closer to yours. His warm breath fanned over your face, a hot blanket of desire beginning to suffocate you. You felt yourself grow wet, his eyes so close to yours. Maker, he put the man in Commando.
He broke your gaze, bringing his lips to your ear, “Listen here,” he whispered, his abrasive voice making love to your skin, “you’re going to give me your commlink number. You’re going to go home early tonight, you’re going to shower and get into your prettiest number. And you’re going to get comfortable in your bed."
You swallowed the thick, dry lump in your throat.
"I’m going to comm you, you will pick up, and you will give me your name.” The last words slowly trickled out of his lips, fading into the background noise of the bar.
Maker, you had practically soaked through your panties. They were just as wet as the front of your top from earlier. You needed him.
“...and I’m going to give you 10 credits for another one of those fancy Chandrillan whiskeys." The pads of his still-gloved fingers maintained the hold they had on your chin, and he brought his lips away from your ear painfully slowly. You swallowed, not knowing what to do with yourself. Your pussy burned with arousal, thick, syrupy heat now pooling in your gut. His face was still close enough to yours that you were practically sharing the same air. His scar was so intimidating, yet so charming this close.
“Look at you, mesh’la, in knots for me," he whispered, eyes not leaving yours, “No shiny in this bar has ever had you like this before, has he?”
You shook your head, biting your lip. Any sense of confidence you had now melted away with your utter submission to him. He released his grip from your chin, allowing you to fulfil his demand for another drink.
You hurriedly poured it for him, all of your professionalism gone with your pride. You scribbled your commlink number on a napkin, and sat both it and the drink down in front of him.
He downed it in one sip, got up from his seat, grabbed his helmet and turned to leave.
“I’ll talk to you later, mesh’la." He smirked over his shoulder.
Speechless, you mustered up a nod, trying not to embarrass yourself in front of the numerous other troopers at the bar.
“By the way, I saw you looking at my chest. Four-nine-eight-two. Four-thousand, nine hundred and eighty two Geonosians. One for every fallen Commando.” His charming voice lingered as he turned and made his way back through the crowd of troopers to find the rest of his squad.
Maker. You practically fainted. He was no shiny at all.
CHAPTER 2 ♡
The door to your apartment hissed closed behind you with a soft thunk, and you leaned back against it, your fingers trembling. The echo of his voice still rattled in your head. “You will give me your name.”
You’d given your commlink number. Given him a look that said take me apart. But your name?
That, you’d withheld. Not intentionally. Maybe you just didn’t want it to be over yet.
Steam swirled around you as you stepped out of the refresher, your skin tingling from the heat. You’d scrubbed, exfoliated, shaved—twice. Absolutely everything.
You’d tossed half your closet onto your bed before settling on a sheer, dark-red babydoll that hinted more than it revealed. Matching set underneath. Thigh high stockings. Anything to give you the confidence to do what you were about to do.
You sat on the edge of your bed, legs crossed, heart pounding like a war drum. You stared at the blinking commlink on your nightstand.
Your chest tightened when it lit up.
Unknown ID.
You snatched it before the second ring.
“Hello?” You tried to hide the breathlessness in your voice.
Just the sound of him breathing nearly buckled your knees. A low growl filtered through the receiver.
“I’m not a patient man,” The voice rasped. “Tell me your name.”
Time to put on a brave face. You licked your lips, wetting them. “You want it that badly?” you teased, curling a finger into the garter of your thigh-high.
“Not as badly as I want to hear you say mine.”
You slapped a hand over your mouth to hide your whimper. This could not be happening. “I—” you started, but his voice cut you off.
“Strip for me.”
You froze, chest rising and falling in light pants. It felt like he was somehow watching you through the comm. “I already am,” you whispered.
A pause. Then, “Good girl.” That dangerous, dark satisfaction dripped from every word. It made your toes curl into the carpet. “You’re smarter than you look, mesh’la,” he drawled, voice soaked in wicked approval. “Now, lay down.”
You obeyed. No hesitation.
Your sheets were cool against your back, but your skin was burning, flushed and prickled with goosebumps.
“Legs open.”
You bit your lip, the rush of arousal almost dizzying as you slowly parted your thighs. You imagined him on the other end of the line, picturing you. How wet you were, how ready, how exposed. All for him.
“Imagine my fingers on your throat,” Sev whispered. “My teeth against your shoulder. You think I didn’t notice the way you stared at my gloves? You want to feel them all over that pretty body of yours?”
“I want you to drag your fingers through that mess you made,” he ordered, low and commanding. “Let me hear what a good little thing you are for me. Don’t hold back.”
You swallowed hard and obeyed.
You were so worked up just from hearing him, you had already soaked through the delicate lace of your panties. God, you needed him here. Your fingertips slowly dragged through your soaked folds, and you mewled, raw and desperate.
“Maker—” you whimpered, already arching.
“Say my name,” he growled. “Not ‘Commando.’ Not ‘sir.’ Say it.”
“Sev,” you breathed, fingers starting to trace tiny circles around your clit. “Sev, please—”
“Words, mesh’la.”
“I want you..I need you!” Your back arched into your hand, seeking more. “I need you to—”
“You need me to what?” he demanded.
“To ruin me.”
A low chuckle rumbled through the line. “You’re damn right you do.”
You whined openly into the comm resting on the sheets next to you. You pictured his breath on your neck. His hands gripping your hips. How he’d flip you onto your tummy and screw you into the mattress. You were suddenly achingly aware of how empty you were.
Then you heard it.
A sharp inhale on the other end, followed by the faintest shuffle of armour plates. A click. Fastenings undone.
Your breath caught.
“ You’re…” you whispered, voice barely audible.
He cut you off again, this time softer, rasping, starved.
“Damn right I am.”
Maker.
“I’ve been hard since you poured me that drink. Thought about bending you over that bar and taking you right there in front of all those shinies.” You could hear the roughness of his breath now— rhythmic, frantic. “I’m thinking about how wet and tight your mouth would be if I shoved my dick between your lips and made you choke on it.”
You moaned, loud and broken, your fingers circling your bundle of nerves with reckless abandon.
“I’d grab your throat,” he continued, his voice now strained, gravelly. “Not to stop you, no. To feel you. To feel the way you fight not to gag. But you wouldn’t fight, would you? Not for me.”
“No,” you breathed. You could hear the tell-tale sound of skin on skin on the other end of the line. “I’d take all of you.”
“Good girl.” The way he snarled it sent you spiralling, your body twitching under your own touch. “You’d look up at me while I play with your mouth, pretty eyes all messy, panties wrecked.”
“They already are,” you gasped, rubbing harder now, your heels digging into the bed. “I’m so close, Sev…”
“Don’t cum yet,” he snapped, voice cracking with restraint. “I want you to hold it.”
You cried out, hips bucking helplessly, your body rebelling at the command. On the comm, his breathing grew rougher, faster.
“I'm going to finish all over my gloves thinking about how you’d squeeze me,” he growled. “Dripping wet, spread out like how you are now. You want it, mesh’la? Want my mess on your stomach? In your mouth? On your sheets?”
“Yes, Sev, yes, please!”
“Say it again,” he panted, breath ragged. “Say my name.”
“Sev,” you whimpered. “Please, Sev, I need it! I need you.”
The sound that came through the comm was half-snarl, half-moan. Raw. Ruined.
“Now,” he purred. “Cum. Now. Let me hear you break.”
Your fingers stuttered and you shattered. You moaned his name like a prayer, your back arching off the bed, thighs trembling violently. Shudders surged through your body–from the tips of your toes to your scalp. Your eyes were clamped shut. It was messy, loud, shameless. You didn’t care. Couldn’t care.
Because Sev was moaning too.
You heard the strangled sound of his orgasm. Deep, feral, dragged from his chest like it was ripped from his very bones. The rhythmic wet sounds from his end faded, followed by a harsh gasp, then silence, both of you breathing like you’d run a marathon.
Then, you heard his voice again, smug and spent.
“Now you know what happens when you give me your number.”
Your chest heaved. “…And if I give you my name?”
There was a pause. You could practically hear his smirk through the line.
“Then tomorrow night, I show up at your door. And I finish what we started. With my hands. With my mouth. Whatever you like.”
You moaned softly, thighs still twitching.
“So?” he asked. “What’s your name, mesh’la?”
You licked your lips, still breathless, and whispered.
✧ Summary: You and Ordo are assigned with impromptu babysitting job, but your little niece sleeps unruly at night.
✧ Tags & Warnings: fluff, established relationship, babysitting, i wrote this instead of sleeping (don’t we always) (and AGAIN, third time in a row!)
✧ Word Count: 1.0k
✧ A/N: My little cousin was literally sleeping all over me as I was writing this when I was staying over at my aunt’s (their knee was up on my chest as I wrapped this up can you believe it? 😭). Anyway enjoy this fluffy one for Ordo! He's a girldad, period.
Main Masterlist | Read on AO3 | dividers by me
From the depths of peaceful slumber, Ordo feels his consciousness comes to. A weight of a limb is slathered across his firm torso, breaking his breathing pattern and so he tries—without so much panicking and snapping into action—to assess his situation. Without even cracking his eyelids open he's aware that it's still past midnight, maybe oh-two-hundred.
His throat feels dry like Tatooine on a summer day. He tries to move. Seriously, he tries, but the limbs—small, slender arms and legs clad in soft pajamas—only hog him more fiercely. He's not even certain the owner is fully conscious. So, unmoving, he sets a new pattern for his breathing as he recollects the events for the last several hours.
Oh, yeah. Your cousin visited earlier this day, dropping their little daughter for you to babysit just until tomorrow. Hospital's running thin on ER nurses so your cousin pulled a double shift. You didn't mind. You love your niece Caleesta. Your boyfriend Ordo, who got home later in the evening, was dragged to participate in the job as well.
He remembers the dinner being a little awkward. You sent a little holo of how Caleesta was doing, chilling after dinner with an ice cream. Mereel had put it there some time ago for his visits and he's probably gonna be whining about the loss—but tough. He's got to admit defeat when it comes to what an ad wants.
The girl is adorable, and smart. Ordo watched her color her coloring book and it was a heckin’ mandala coloring book for adults. Quite bubbly too, asking him a lot of questions about being a clone. He answered what he could and what the ad could comprehend. You were cleaning the table but you were definitely watching, and he caught warm fondness twinkling in your eyes.
The thing about your little niece is that she isn't ready yet to sleep all by herself.
Caleesta shifts again, turning around in her sleep, her limbs detangling from his body. Ordo sighs in relief and stretches his arm, pleasant tingles running up his arms and down his legs to the tip of his toes, the knot inside his lungs comes free. He scrunches his eyes open, lips dry and tongue sticking to the roof of his mouth, assessing the kih’ad now facing the other direction with limbs and hair wildly splayed all over the bed. A tiny smirk of surprise pulls unexpectedly on his lips.
Ordo blinks again, his eyes getting used to the darkness. They widen when he's aware that the other side of the bed is absent of you.
His senses ring in alarm, every muscle in his body strikes him fully awake and prompts him to look for you. But then the bedroom door opens, and enter you in your baggy sleeping clothes with a glass of water in your hand.
“Oh,” you mumble sleepily as soon as you make out Ordo’s bright and awake figure, sitting on the bed with the hem of the comforter pooling in his lap. “You're awake.” You close the door silently.
“Yeah,” he whispers, not ready to face a fussy kid if he speaks too loudly. “You too?”
You let out a quiet, huffy laugh as you make your way to him. “She punched me in the ear in her sleep, Ordo. ‘Course I'm awake.”
He bites his bottom lip to prevent a laugh coming out. “Sounds ouch enough.”
“It was pretty ouchy,” you pout, unable to resist placing a kiss on his hairline. “Here's some water.”
Ordo smiles gratefully at you. “Thanks.” He takes your offering with great care as if it's the only thing that matters in the world—the refreshing, cool glass of water. He sips carefully, making sure to leave some for you. “It’s like there's a frog in my throat when I wake up in the middle of the night like this.”
And you know that very well. Ordo dislikes getting woken up abruptly before sunup since it's the worst hour for being thirsty—one has to get up and take to the kitchen half-awake to fetch some water. The whole thing is plain ugh. Insomnia is his worst enemy.
“She's like that when she sleeps.” Your apologetic cadence escapes you before you could stop or give it a prelude. Ordo seems to catch it and listen to you—even emphatically, gently taking your hand in his. “Sorry, love. Forgot to tell you.”
“It's fine, cyare,” Ordo says, laying soft kisses your knuckles, his lips no longer cracked. “M’pretty alert myself. Force of habit. Not your fault.”
“Okay,” you give in, smiling. You caress his tawny cheeks for good measure as well, to put some comfort in yourself. Your boyfriend seems to notice that, and plants another kiss to the inside of your wrist. Ordo loves you, his affections are endless. “Let's go back to sleep?” you suggest then.
“Let’s,” Ordo smiles, reluctantly letting go of your hand as you go around the bed to get into your spot, which is evidently occupied by Caleesta, sleeping soundly and completely unaware of the waking world around her. Ordo helps by gently and carefully moving Caleesta to the center of the bed, between the two of you, until you're feeling quite snug under the covers.
“Can I ask you something?” he asks not a minute later, under the covers and as quietly as possible.
“What?” you indulge him.
Ordo hesitates for a little. “What does she usually like for breakfast?”
You chuckle airily to yourself. “Why are you asking?”
Ordo shuts his eyes, changing his breathing pattern in preparation to return to slumber. “Just asking, cyare.”
“Okay,” you whisper, amusement fills your tone. “Meiloorun-flavored milk. Wheat toast.”
“Mhm.”
“She loves skillet eggs with tomatoes as dippings,” you continue, nearly regretting that it'd make you hungry. But sleep seems to win this time. “And add to that; leftover grilled nerf patties that I like to store in the conservator.”
“Manda,” Ordo says sleepily, the image of such breakfast occupying his mind. “Yeah, let's have that. We can have that, right?”
“You got it,” you mumble, no longer caring about volume before falling to the endless spiral of sleep after all. Come morning, the dining table would be merrier than ever.

Keep in mind not everything here is canon anymore, since some tidbits of the Republic Commando lore, particularly in the books, got written over by TCW show and Disney's canon/legends shitshow
⊳ Delta squad gets up to mad chaos; Like they can put the 501st to shame with some of the banthashit these mad lads get up to.
As in you could be having a conversation with someone and casually mention a time that Sev rode a spider droid as if that's just a 'normal week with the boys', meanwhile everyone else is like w h a t.
And as such, they make the best clones to spend time around; Because no day is ever boring with Delta Squad on your heels.
⊳ Over the course of one day you'll probably end up making some sort of illegal explosive with Scorch, Sev teaches you the best way to kill a man larger than you with just a vibroknife; Boss attempts to get the previous two to stop teaching you these things, and then you'll drink some sort of hot drink be it tea or caf with Fixer and wonder just how they're some of the best GAR has to offer.
⊳ Being trained hands-on by multiple Mandalorians they more than likely know a decent bit of Mando'a, as well as Mandalorian culture in general, as it's a huge part of their 'unique' upbringing. As such it's hilariously quick even after a short while how much you pick up from them, or what they tell you.
And as for who teaches you all the swear words? Scorch doesn't because he thinks 'you're too cute to say those things', and Boss refuses because he's supposedly got a reputation to uphold.
But one day you end up yelling some sort of horrible Mando'a swear and it turns out Fixer is the one who 'taught' you, because he's constantly mumbling them under his breath and you picked up on them like a keen child. You use it non-stop all day now, and Scorch finds it hilarious.
⊳ Clone commandos are raised from birth in pods of four, making them extremely attached to each other and by extension, super untrusting of anyone outside of their 'pod brothers'. If you become part of that little circle, I don't think there's a droid or Sith or trooper in that galaxy that can stop these guys from being super protective.
If you pick a fight with one you get the rest, and the same goes for you, as well. If you're at a bar and someone doesn't take your 'no' for an answer? They're going to be staring down four extremely displeased commandos.
It's sweet, until the physical altercations start and you have to break them up before things get too crazy.
⊳ And just for a romantic crumb at the end here; If you're romantically involved with any of them, the others will absolutely bully the ever-living soul out of him. Nothing is sacred, and they'll always find a way to get in a jab.
"Did you hunt her down like all those droids Sev? Or did you actually speak some words for once?"
"Just don't blow up the first girl to give you the time of day, Scorch."
"And here I thought Fixer was too busy nagging us to spend time with someone else."
"Awww, Boss brought his cyare with? She's not going to reprimand us for breaking protocol like you do, right?"
Okay, but picture this. So Scorch lost his eyebrows during a training accident, right? Imagine drawing eyebrows on him. Badly. Like one is definitely way thicker than the other and is completely squint, so he has this constant quizzical look. Then to troll his brothers he puts his helmet before a meeting. Midway through said meeting he takes his helmet off and Sev is trying to not choke because Scorch looks ridiculous. Boss is doing his best to remain composed and Fixer is just Tired ™️.
Remember some time ago, an some author posted a story under this hashtag about a group of yandere clones who initially fell in puppy‑love with the perfect friend, Y/N, and began to compete with Y/N, ruining her life. After Y/N fled to another planet, they realized their feelings and started searching for her.
I’m thinking… What if, by the time they find her, she’s already gotten involved with another clone?
For example, will she already be pregnant?
How will they feel watching her show affection toward their other brother? Will they decide it’s not a problem? That there’s barely any difference between the brothers, and therefore you love all of them? Or will they kill him?
"This batch of clone commandos has turned out to be… problematic.”
You walked quickly beside the Kaminoan and clone commander, trying to keep up with their longer strides as they briefed you on why you had been summoned in the middle of your squad's leave.
The Arc trooper cut in, “What the doctor means to say is cruel. They're completely out of control behind closed doors.”
The kaminoan didn't acknowledge the commander, only saying in their off-puttingly soft voice, “Which is why we brought you in. We have seen how… well, you've gotten along with the clones both within your squad and out. We were hoping you would be able to smooth out a few quirks.”
You tried not to shudder at how the scientist referred to the clones like faulty lab equipment, only nodding slightly.
“I'm not sure I'll be able to do much, it's been all chance up to now that any of the men have liked or at least tolerated me.”
“Maybe so, but it has been a pattern, one we hope will continue with this experiment.” She hummed.
You only now realized, as the three of you rounded another corner in the maze of hallways, that you were heading towards a training center.
The commando training unit.
Your steps slowed. You had thought that you would at least have a day to prepare to meet these apparently hostile men, you weren't ready for this!
Noticing your hesitation, the Arc commander slowed down, letting the scientist get ahead a bit before saying softly, "Hey, it's okay. If it doesn't work out, you won't be forced to continue."
He said that, but even you could hear the doubt behind his gentle words. Still, you appreciated how kind the man was being despite not knowing you for more than a few days.
Breaking you from your thoughts, the Kaminoan's eerie soft voice rang out from down the hall, "Miss (l/n), we don't have all day."
You nodded finally, trying not to drag your feet as you all proceeded towards the unit.
A/N: Mean yandere clone commandos anyone? Idk this literally came to me in a dream and I thought why not? Might make this a series!
