Loving You Forever

Word Count: 1354

Summary: After a night out with friends, you're returned to your handsome trooper and he takes care of you.

Warnings: Lots of fluff, pet names and wanting to have a future with this beautiful man.

Author's Note: I just couldn't get him out of my head, this fic kind of wrote itself.

Hardcase was just sitting down watching a hole when there was a knock on the door. Frowning heavily, he wondered who could be visiting his girlfriend at 1 in the morning. Especially as she was out with her friends. He had returned home to surprise her, thinking she would be just finishing work or hanging out at home. But maybe he should have gave her a head's up, as his cyare was going out with friends after work for a few drinks. Initially she was about to come home to be with him, but he has assured her that she should stay, have fun and he'd still be there when she got back. Hardcase knew when she told him it was only a few drinks that it would be quite late when she got back. A few drinks was never just a few drinks, not among friends. He should know, 79s was the place to unwind after a difficult tour and he always had fun with his brothers.

Pushing the button to open the door, he was surprised to see his Captain.

Rex had a long suffering look on his face as his vod's girl had an arm wrapped around his shoulders and was being held up by him.

"Rex? Er... what's going on? How come you've got Y/N?" Hardcase greeted, surprise written all over his face.

"The taxi dropped them all off at our flat, you're the last stop. Make sure you get her some water and look after her. I've got to go, I've left my girl in the speeder, but have a good night vod'ikas" Rex sighed, patting Y/N's back as he handed you over to Hardcase.

"CASE!" you let out an excited squeal, wrapping your arms around him and squeezing tightly.

"Hey baby, you had a good time?" Hardcase smiled, pushing your hair away from your face. Grinning at him, you nodded and buried your face into his neck, humming happily. "Thanks Rex, look after my future sister-in-law for me!" He teased, laughing at Rex's roll of the eyes and blush.

Shutting the door between them, Hardcase buried his head into your hair. Taking in your soothing scent, he couldn't help but sink into you after a long tour.

"Missed you baby, you're all I could think about" Hardcase mumbled, hands rubbing up and down your sides gently.

Grinning widely at him, you pulled away so you could land a kiss on his lips. Uncoordinated, your lips landed on the corner of his mouth. Both of you burst into laughter, relying on Hardcase to keep you both standing up. "Sorry" you breathed, fingers trailing up his chest and coming to play with the collar of the shirt you had gotten for him. It was in the 501st blue and clung nicely to his chest.

"It's okay, cyar'ika, I know I'm devastatingly hot that you lose focus" he teased, nuzzling his nose into yours and giving you a quick peck.

Proving him right, you couldn't help but get distracted by him. "You're pretty" you murmured, cupping his face and staring into his beautiful brown eyes. "Pretty great" you finished, unable to stop the giggles as you leaned more into him.

"Thanks mesh'la, how about we get you to bed? Huh? How does that sound?" he chuckled, laying a kiss to your hand before securing his grip around your waist.

"Yes, take me to bed!" You agreed eagerly, almost tripping over your own feet to beat him there.

"Hold on love, as much as I would love to ravish you. It's better if you're sober enough to remember it" Hardcase shook his head, grabbing your hips quickly and stopping you from falling into a heap at his feet.

"Ohhh Case! No fair!" You whined, pout coming out in full force. The one that always made him always say yes to anything you wanted.

Admittedly he did like to spoil you, but he wouldn't be swayed on this. Those big beautiful eyes of yours and that delicious pout would all just have to be used tomorrow when you could remember what was going on and in your own mind to say yes. Shaking his head affectionately he scooped you up in his arms, enjoying the small squeak of alarm you let out. "Hold on tight Mesh'la, time to get you sorted" he murmured, pressing a kiss to your temple as he carried you through to the bedroom.

"Cyare!" You chided, butchering the pronunciation as you buried your face into his neck, kissing down the line of his tattoo.

"Not even close, cyare, but it was a cute attempt" he smirked, opening your bedroom door before depositing you on your bed.

It seemed as soon as you were on it, you were content to just sink into the mattress. Allowing it to shape around you and comfort your body. "I never want to leave here" you sighed wistfully, closing your eyes and doing little starfish movements on your bed.

Unable to help it, Hardcase leant down and pressed a kiss on your forehead. You looked so kriffing adorable, he couldn't help but want to spend the rest of his life with you. Putting you to bed when you had too much fun, taking care of you when you were sick. Lazy mornings in bed, passionate nights where you didn't sleep until sunrise, grocery shopping trips, nights cuddled up on the couch, cooking you dinner. He wanted it all in this very moment.

Peeking one eye open, feeling his gaze on you, you spotted him looking at you adoringly, smile on his handsome face.

"I love you" you told him simply, feeling awash with love for your beautiful trooper.

"Love you too, how about we get you more comfy huh? Get your PJs on and under the sheets" he told you, heading towards your cupboard to see what he could find.

"Damn, I really want you to wife me up" you sighed, crawling closer to your pillows and flopping down on them.

Hardcase's overactive brain ground to a halt. He wasn't sure he heard you right, but he hoped that he did. He most certainly wanted to "wife" you up. Is that what the nat-borns called it? He wanted to be your riddur and you be his. "Oh mesh'la, you'll be embarrassed when you hear about all this tomorrow" he warned, finding your clothes and heading towards the bed. "But just in case you remember this... I would love to be your riddur" he said softly, brushing the hair out if your face.

"What does riddur mean?" You slurred, beginning to get tired now as you slowly tried to help him get you dressed. In fact it was more of a hindrance than a help, but Hardcase didn't mind. It was like a little tooka rolling around with a ball of wool.

"You'll have to find out yourself, love. Put your arms up love, yes both of them. That's a good girl" he praised, helping you into your baggy top. Heaving the sheets from underneath you, you couldn't help but giggle at him as you went tumbling backwards into the pillows. He joined in, being sure to throw them back over you and covering your head. Tugging them down, he tucked them around you, nuzzling into your neck and blowing raspberries against the soft delicate skin.

"CASE! STOP!" you giggled, trying to push him away from you.

"Alright alright, you get comfy and wait here. I'm going to get you some pills and a drink to help the hangover tomorrow. And Kix says I never listen to him" he grinned, rushing out to your medical cupboard to find the supplies and to get you a drink to wash them down with. He brought some extra pills for in the morning, knowing you'd be getting quite the headache. Making sure he got everything, he couldn't help but nearly sprint back to the room as fast as he could, all without spilling your drink too.

"Got to take two babe, these are for when you wake up" he instructed, handing the pills to you and the drink. Once you had taken them and had your fill, he helped place them on the side.

Crawling into bed beside you, he couldn't help but bring you into his arms, letting you find the right position you wanted before tightening his hold of you.

"Happy?" He hummed, stroking up and down your arms in soothing patterns. Even when he was relaxing, he had to touch you, had to move his fingers across your skin. It was calming to both you and him.

"Hmm, so good. You're so handsome. My beautiful mesh'la man" you cooed, shuffling even closer to him.

Hardcase let out a snort at that. "Beautiful beautiful man am I?" Hardcase teased, glad that you had picked up some Mando'a from him. Even if you couldn't quite place it right at the moment. Hearing you mumble in agreement, he knew you were tired, drowsiness washing over you. "Get some rest babe, I'm still going to be here in the morning" he promised, nuzzling into you and kissing whatever skin he could reach before he joined you in sleep too.

Then there are the whispers of a clone frozen in stasis. A medic trying to save his brothers, only to wake up and realise he is the last, all his brothers are gone. They are just rumours. No one's sure if they are true or not, until one day.

One day where Kix sitting in a cantina in the outer rim, where he sees a group of people gathered around a holo. He pays no mind to it at first, that is, until he hears someone say a familiar name. A name he hasn't heard spoken out loud in a long time. A brothers name.

So he gets closer, and he sees what the group of people are looking at. It's the photo. The photo that Rex had hanging on the wall of his office, the one of him, Fives, Echo and Cody. The photo that Fives always said made him and Echo Rex's favourites. Kix remembers that holo, he remembers the battle when it was taken. Remembers it was just after Fives and Echo had gotten back from Arc training. Remembers that he was just behind the camera, waiting to chew Fives out; because 'even if you have ARC training now. It doesn't mean that you can go and do stupid risky shit all the time trying to impress the shinies.'

Kix is drawn from the memories of ghosts when he feels someone tap him on the arm. It's a young girl with big blue familiar looking eyes, and she says that she thinks it cool that he looks exactly like the brave soldiers she learnt about in school. She asks him if his grandfather was a clone, if he knew any clones, if he's heard any stories of the clones. Kix stares at the girl for a moment, thinking about another girl with curious blue eyes, before he answers her. He tells her that he is a clone, that he has so many stories that he can't even count them.

With wide eyes, the girl drags him closer to the holo and pointing at it asks him if he knows the clones in the photo.

And Kix, looking at the holo, thinks of the old mando'a that they used to say; Ni su'cuyi, gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli, gar darasuum. 'I'm still alive, but you are dead. I remember you, so you are eternal.'

So he tells the girl.

He tells her how they were his brothers. He tells her how he was apart of the 501st. He tells her how they fought for freedom. He tells her how they were always finding ways to laugh during the war. He tells her how they adopted the jedi into their family. He tells her how no matter how bad things got the clones knew they would be okay as long as they had eachother. He tells her their names.

The more stories he tells the more people listen. And word spreads. The Clones are not all gone. There is one left. And he's telling the stories of the clones, the stories that, when there where millions of clone alive no one wanted to hear. But they want to hear them now, they want to know the clones now. They want to know the worriors that fought for freedom and laid down the foundations for everything after. They clones story may be a tragedy, but it will not be forgotten.

The Vode will be remembered.
