I was sad from the Clone Wars finale so here is fluff oneshot number #2 for our Clone boys. Hope you enjoy!


The blistering cold winds of Rhen Vhar were relentless against the flaps of Adorsha's tent, the power had been cutting in and out frequently, leaving her freezing beneath what should of been the warm embrace of her bed.

Her worst fear was realized when she heard a loud crackle, and looked over to see her heater giving one last spark before it died. She whined, wrapping her blankets around herself and shivering as the cold quickly began to creep in. It had been too long of a day, and she needed the rest. She wasn't about to take away somebody else's heater though, nor ask to have it fixed while there was a blizzard going on and it was nightfall, where all the technicians would undoubtedly be asleep.

Reaching over for her boots, she slipped them on along with her coat, grabbing her lightsaber just in case she would need her weapon. This was a horrible idea, but right now, Adorsha was willing to sacrifice a bit of her dignity for some warmth and much needed rest. She flipped the hood up on her coat, and left her tent, making a beeline for the tent barracks.

Slipping inside, she wasn't surprised to find not all of the men asleep quite yet, but those that were seemed to be quite shocked to see her. Among those still awake were Jesse, Dogma, Fives, and Kix, who was giving one last look over of Dogma's bandages on his arm before they all turned in. Dogma was actually the first to stand at attention, with the others who were still awake following suit.

"At ease," she whispered to them all, and approached them quietly so they could speak without waking everyone else.

"Something wrong, Ma'am?" Kix asked, knowing she should have been asleep by now too.

"Can't sleep?" Jesse added.

"My heater broke," Adorsha informed them all "I was… I was wondering if there was a spare bed anywhere?"

All of them turned to look, the beds weren't so much beds as they were really just cots with a pillow and a blanket. Until they got the base properly set up, this would be how they would be sleeping. Normally they would have an extra bed or two in the barracks, just in case or transfers, but tonight it appeared they only brought enough to accompany the men they had brought with them planetside.

"... You can have mine, I'll join the night patrol outside," Fives spoke up after a moment of silence.

"No, Fives-"

"Or mine, one of us can just sleep in your quarters, be a nice surprise for any assassins," Jesse added with a smirk.

"Jesse, I-"

"Take mine, I need to take inventory of the medical supplies anyway," Kix interrupted.

"No!" She said a little too loudly, stunning the four of them, shutting down whatever Dogma had to say. Adorsha looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief seeing they hadn't woken anyone up. "N-No, I'm not kicking anyone out of their bed, I… I was going to ask if I could uhm… perhaps… share? Maybe? With one of you?" She asked, swallowing her pride and plunging them all into silence again as the Clones looked at one another.

"... Share with me, Adorsha," Fives finally broke the silence "My bed is nearest to the heater, if it gets too hot there, Jesse's the next one over,"

"Thank you, Fives, I-I promise this will only be for a night," Adorsha nodded to him, starting to undo her coat as she went over to the empty bed by the heater.

She looked back at him as he followed her, trying not to stare as he took off his armor, she folded her coat up and placed it on his trunk, slipping off her boots shortly after. She wasn't as cold in front of the heater with so many people in the room, but the ice nipped at her feet as she stood facing him on the opposite side of the cot.

"Y-You get in first, I'll squeeze in whatever room is left," Adorsha instructed.

It was a little awkward to fit both of them in comfortably, and Adorsha had to give up on not having any contact with the ARC Trooper if either of them were going to stand a chance of having a good night's sleep. Eventually she had to settle for resting on his chest, with her legs between his own. She keened when his warm hand wrapped around the top of one of her montrals.

"Kriff you're cold," he cursed, and Adorsha bit her tongue as he slid his hand up and down, trying to warm them, meanwhile Adorsha tried to ignore how good his hands felt and found herself biting her lip so that the others didn't hear her. She could feel his heart beating beneath the hard plane of muscle that protected it, and Adorsha had to stop herself from rubbing up against him. Even if the heater wasn't above them, Fives could have been his own furnace. She mewled softly and hid her face in further embarrassment when his hand switched to warm her other montral. Thankfully, he seemed to take notice, and slowed down his strokes, loosening his grip so his touch was less a tease and more a warm presence on the part of her that was coldest. Meanwhile all Adorsha could do was lean into Fives even more, his touch, his warmth, made her feel like jelly above him.

Fives looked down to see Adorsha, her eyes starting to close, hearing her purr as exhaustion allowed the warmth to take her. How could he not smile at that adorable sight?

"Goodnight, Adorsha,"
