Chapter Text
By the time that they are coming back from a shit mission and you've already heard it was crap. You're on The Resolute and have been given about two hours notice, via Anakin, that they're heading back so you set to work. You strip all their beds of their comfies and bedding and drag it to one of the bigger empty rooms, you think it was a spare conference room before, but who cares.
You set all the mattresses and bedding into a big pile and set some string lights and have snacks all prepared. You've been planning this for a while, Anakin approved and Ashoka assisted.
So when the boys go to their room and see everything gone they first panic, but then see the flimsi-note telling them to head to a certain room.
Upon opening the door, they see you sitting in the middle of the giant 'bed' waiting. And when you see them, you open your arms and make grabby hands with a big grin.
"There's my precious baby boys~"
Most of them stammer and blush upon the words leaving your lips. Fives and Echo practically rush to you first though. Fives tripping over himself as he kicks the boots off and dives into your arms, Echo faceplanting to your shoulder only a second later.
Kix and Rex share an amused look having worked through the stupor, while Tup shyly shuffles over and manages to squeeze between the twins to get some comforting too. Hardcase and Jesse strip off their armour as fast as possible then jump into the pile, content to flop into all the cushioning and soft items with happy groans. Dogma is grumbling under his breath about it being uncalled for and against rule xyz.
It takes Rex and Kix both quietly reasoning with him as they start taking off their armour. Unlike their crazy brothers, they set their armour aside carefully and methodically before trying to force Dogma out of his own. He complains the whole time, but when they forcibly lead the not-as-against-it-as-he-says boy over he melts fast into the blankets.
You're quickly in the middle of the pile and everyone is trying to unwind. You listen to them grumble, complain and hold back sobs as they explain how awful the mission ended up. About those they lost and those that were saved. You can easily see them all starting to amp up to fight for curling against you, so a turn system is introduced.
Every half hour, they have to switch, but during their 30 mins they can cling tightly to you while you hold them tightly and comfort them like they deserve.
Surely and soon enough, Fives and Echo are passed out to your left in a tangled mess, Echo's hand gripping the edge of your pj shirt hem. Jesse and Hardcase are snacking quietly, although Hardcase is crashing quickly. His eyes are half open and even with his tight grip on the popcorn bowl, he's spilling some onto the blankets as his head is rolling to the side onto Jesse's shoulder. Kix is actively trying to remove the bowl from the overtired and over sugar-ed brother of his just after he carefully removed Fives' and Echo's armour from their dead-to-the-galaxy forms.
Dogma is asleep to your far right, his big toe stuck out and touching your hip but otherwise is cocooned by himself in the furthest spot of the mattress island. Rex has his side leaned against yours while he is working on a datapad and curled up in the blankets. While Tup is falling asleep between your legs with his face against your chest. His arms are wound tightly around you while he's drifting away and you've untied his hair and are playing with it as you hum softly. He was the third-last to get a turn, after him were Kix and Rex who both have already quietly told you to just keep Tup with you.
You didn't agree with it as they needed their turns too, but you weren't going to argue now...You'd get them later once their brothers were asleep.
The door opened softly and light flooded from the door only to quickly be shut again. Ahsoka easily caught your eyes as she deftly and quietly rushed over to the pile with a pillow and blanket of her own.
"I couldn't sleep...and I knew you'd all be in here..." she mumbled with a shy smile as she stood before you
Tup sleepily sat up enough to grab her hand and, while rolling away from you, trap her against him and fell right back asleep.
The padawan made absolutely no move to argue and promptly melted into him, only sticking her hand out to pat your thigh in thanks.
You stood and moved the snacks away so that nobody accidentally knocked them over in sleep. You then yawned and had just started to walk towards the door when -
"Oh no, you don't..."
You were quickly wrangled by Kix, his arms encircling you and dragging you right back to the mattress island. He then plopped you next to Rex and settled on your other side, effectively trapping you between their bodies
"But-"
"Are you denying us our turns...?" Rex asked with a fake hurt look, knowing that it would not only get you to stay...but most likely end in you cuddling even closer in a form of spite against his words
"N-no...!" you denied scandalized
"Then cuddle up and get sleepy. Doctor's orders" Kix mumbled nuzzling his face into your shoulder and pressing as close as he could to your side
Happily trapped within not only the puzzle of clone, and one padawan's, bodies...you soon found yourself drifting off. Your eyes growing unbelievably heavy with two human heaters on either side of you and the soft snoring echoing around the room from the rest of the group. Your one hand holding Kix's, fingers laced sweetly together, and the other reaching for Rex's to do the same
"Goodnight boys..." your words came out mumbled and slurred as sleep dragged you into it's depths
Sometime later, Anakin came by to check on everyone.
But upon opening the door, saw the scene most of the Republic would be pitching a fit over. Clones were fleshy killing machines to most's view. Yet here they were all curled up on a collection of mattresses all tangled into each other, his padawan and you.
His gaze drifted across your bodies as he easily noticed that Dogma had moved closer but was, still, cocooned to one side...One of Jesse's legs were across Dogma's blanket wrapped ones. Jesse and Hardcase were smushed against on another and the wall with blankets that had once been draped over them. Fives and Echo were to the other side still tangled close together, but their heads were close to your's while Echo's butt was propping up Ashoka's pillow. Tup was curled up around the padawan while the girl's hand had snuck out of the long-haired trooper's hold and clutched onto Kix's sleep shirt. Kix was holding onto a pillow but one hand was holding yours and Rex was half wrapped around you while your left hand had smacked into his face at one point, although it miraculously hadn't woken the captain.
"I knew this was a good idea...night guys" he then turned to leave whispering "Good job-" followed by a beam of your name as he left to inform his master on how awesome his group was.
