Guess who finished watching season 2 today (and is now watching season 3)
Hiiii! I love your writing so much! Can you please do one with crosshair and his adorable general whoâs super sweet but is super shy and easily frightened. Because of this crosshair is SUPER protective of her and every time someone teases him about it he completely denies his feelings for her. And of course, his general is totally oblivious to this.
Though I am slow at requests, I so appreciate what y'all send me. I hope you enjoy <3
Word Count: 1.9k Pairing: fem!reader x Crosshair No Warnings Summary: A little drabble of Crosshair basically being a grumpy shadow for ya in the best way.
Crosshair stuck the butt of his rifle in your path. "Not a chance," he stated flatly.
You were deep into a recon mission for the legion you both were aiding. As the Jedi General assigned to Clone Force 99, your task was to locate and rendezvous with the commanding General. The journey required traversing two kliks over a rugged ridge, and having Crosshair, with his keen sniper's eye, was indispensable. Just as you were gearing up to leap down to a lower vantage point, he intervened.
Gently pushing his rifle aside with two fingers, you questioned, "Why not?"
His gaze followed the trajectory of your intended jump. "Doesn't seem like your kind of jump," he remarked coolly. Heâd gotten a glimpse of your fear of heights a few missions ago and had yet to let you live it down.
âI can handle it.â You challenged him.
âSure you can.â Crosshair replied. He readjusted his rifle and pivoted away, signaling for you to follow without awaiting a reply. "Let's move."
Catching up, you prodded him, "Who's in command here, exactly?" Your tone was light, playful even. It was this easy going demeanor that had landed you with Clone Force 99; your leadership style didn't clash with the team's dynamic, as you knew when to lead and when to listen.
Crosshair snorted, but continued on in silence. Heâd welcomed your being assigned to his squad. Despite not being fond of over the top accolades, he couldnât deny he enjoyed the recognition. Even without the Force, he found you impressive. You were skilled and selfless, sometimes to your own detriment.Â
Despite your clear nervousness, you never allowed fear to dominate. The entire squad had noticed your jumpiness, a stark contrast to your fearless command. Crosshair, with his sniper eyes, noted the small tells: the slight purse of your lips before diving into water, the held breath as you squeezed through narrow gaps. Your reaction to the sudden boom of cannons or the sharp crack of thunder was almost instinctual, a flinch that you could barely control.
Yet, for all your sensitivities, you never let them hinder the mission. You pressed on without complaint, earning not just Crosshairâs respect but his silent guardianship. He watched over you, often from a distance, ensuring that nothing would compromise your focus or safety.
That protectiveness went into high gear when youâd nearly slipped down a steep cliff. Youâd caught yourself well enough and in doing so you clung to Crosshair immediately beside you. Even through his armor he could feel your trembling. It was only for a moment, you released him quickly enough, but Crosshair picked up on it all the same.
Once you scouted the ridge, you commed the commanding General and headed for the rendezvous spot.Â
âHe said he and his captain will meet us back at camp,â you relayed, checking the coordinates on your comm device before glancing at Crosshair. âWe should make it back before they do.â
âIs that a challenge?â Crosshair asked, a scoff at the end.
You hummed playfully, âI didnât realize that would be a challenge for you.â
Crosshair held his rifle close, positioning himself to sprint. âDonât expect me to catch you if you trip.â
The suggestion sent a jolt through youâwas it the fear or the thought of his arms catching you? There wasnât time to ponder as Crosshair surged ahead. Show off, you mused silently, though the view of him leading the way was something you never complained about.
Before returning to camp, you had to make it down a steep incline - about 50 feet. Crosshair slid down the incline, as nimble as ever. At the bottom, he secured his rifle across his pack and shifted his weight onto one foot, signaling you to follow.
âDonât worry,â He said, his teasing bordered on mocking. âWhen you fall, Iâll catch you.â Even with his helmet concealing his features, the slight tilt of his head suggested a smirk.
Without pausing to gauge the distance, you summoned the Force behind your movement and launched yourself down the incline. It was a controlled, forceful descent aimed directly at the sniper. His helmet jerked back slightly, caught off-guard by your bold maneuver, as he braced to intercept you.Â
You could have eased the landing, but the opportunity to test Crosshair's assurance was far too tempting. True to his word, he caught you adeptly, his movements syncing perfectly with your descent. He pivoted, his arm securing around your legs while his other hand steadied at the small of your back, guiding you safely against him. Your waist nestled just below his chest, your hands resting lightly on his shoulders as you looked down at him with a smile.
A subtle motion caught your attentionâthe soft brush of his thumb across your back, almost imperceptible.
âNice catch.â You whispered down to him.Â
Crosshairâs helmet, angled up towards you, tilted subtly to the sideâa silent question or perhaps contemplation. He made no move to lower you to the ground, his arms creating a gentle but firm cradle. You remained as motionless as possible, acutely aware of every point of contact. The warmth from where your bodies touched seemed to radiate, intensifying the sensations.
Under the fading light of dusk, shadows played across your faces, cloaking the flush that had started to climb up your neck. You hoped the dimness concealed your reaction, though part of you wondered if Crosshair, with his keen senses, could detect the change in your pulse or the slight tremor in your breath.
With a slight shift, Crosshair broke the silence in a dry tone, âShould we include you jumping into my arms in the debrief or was the little show just for me?â Even hidden behind his helmet, the slight tilt of his head suggested a smirk.
A flush of embarrassment warmed your cheeks as another thumb brushed the small of your back, the slow, deliberate motion sending a shiver through you. You arched involuntarily at the touch, a nervous laugh escaping your lips. Squirming slightly under his gaze, you managed to wiggle free from his loose embrace and found your footing on solid ground. Your hands lingered on his chest briefly, feeling his arms still encircling you.
Before he felt your hands trembling, you gave him a light pat on the chest. âBest keep it between us - wouldnât want to have to explain your slow reflexes.â You were impressed by the steadiness in your voice.
Crosshair stepped back, feigning offense. âSlow reflexes? You launched yourself at me.â It wasnât an accusatory statement, more of a reminder.
Backing away in the direction of camp, you wagged a finger between the two of you. âBetween us it is.â At the rate you walked away you were practically fleeing the scene.
You ended up making it back before the other general. Crosshair joined his brotherâs at the landing strip of the Marauder while you checked in with the Commander on duty.
As Crosshair approached he pulled his helmet off and slipped a toothpick between his lips.Â
Hunter leaned against the wing of the shuttle and said, âTook you long enough.â The comment earned a sharp glance from Crosshair, his expression tightening just enough to convey his annoyance. Hunter had watched his brother pick at you and knew him enough to know Crosshair was fussing over you in his own way.
Tech's voice preceded him from the ship. âRight on time. The other general is arriving momentarily as well.â Descending the stairs, Tech barely lifted his eyes from his datapad. âWe should be departing shortly.â
True to Tech's prediction, the Jedi General in command and his Clone Captain emerged through the underbrush soon after. While you engaged in a discussion with the General, the Clone Captain approached the rest of the Batch.Â
He tilted his helmet respectfully. âThanks for the support, troopers. They werenât kidding when they said you were effective.â
Wrecker snorted, a smirk playing on his lips. âYeah, someone's gotta be good at their job around here.â
The Captain did a double take at the large clone, but only shook his helmet in response. Resting a hand on his hip, he glanced towards where his Jedi General was standing. With a chuckle, he mused aloud, âI wouldnât mind being under her command.â
Tech audibly groaned, while Crosshairâs head snapped towards the Captain, his body language tense. âAnd why is that?â His voice was sharp, a clear edge underlying the question.
Hunter inhaled deeply, sensing the brewing storm. Wrecker, meanwhile, stood by grinning, evidently enjoying the unfolding drama.
Nonchalantly, the Captain gestured towards you, unaware of the undercurrents swirling around him. âWho wouldnât want to get to look at her all the time?â
Crosshairâs helmet muffled his simmering as he pulled it over his head. Turning to face him directly, Crosshair tilted his head towards the Captain. âYouâll have to say that again.â
The Captain, caught off guard by the sniperâs intensity, scoffed dismissively, âIs that right?â
In a taunting, egging-on voice Crosshair said, âEither you say it to her.â Crosshair pointed to you then stepped closer, invading the Captainâs personal space, his posture menacing. âOr you say it to me.â
A dismissive chuckle came from the Captain and he said, âFine.â
Meanwhile, you wrapped up with the General. âAnytime Master, weâre happy to have helped.â You were about to shake their hand when you noticed a commotion at the edge of your vision.
The next moment Crosshair rammed his helmet into the Captainâs with enough force to send the man on his ass.Â
âTime to go,â you sighed, rushing towards the unfolding scene. A few regs were gathering by the time you made it through.Â
Crosshair was poised to advance on the fallen Captain when you intervened. Slipping in front of him, you wrapped your arms around his armored torso, your presence an immediate barrier. His rage simmered down to a trembling restraint under your hold.
âCross,â you said with a firm tone, but softened immediately when he pushed against you again. âHey, hey, hey. Whoâs jumping into whose arms now, huh?â Crosshair held the pressure a moment longer, his breath heavy against you, then growled softly and stepped back.
Realizing your hands were still at his sides, you snatched your hands back as if he was too hot to touch.
âWise choice,â Crosshair sneered over your shoulder at the Captain, who was clumsily regaining his footing. His hand found its way to your waist, and with a hiss that betrayed a blend of annoyance and protective instinct, he murmured, âAfter you, General,â guiding you towards the Marauderâs ramp with an unexpected gentleness.
As you passed Hunter, his smirk broad and clearly entertained, Crosshair snapped, âStow it.â
Your head swiveled between them, confusion knitting your brows. Once on the ship, you halted and pushed back against Crosshairâs guiding hand, spinning around to face him while trying to ignore how his touch lingered. âYou just had to fight, didnât you?â Despite your attempt at authority, your voice cracked, revealing your weak resolution.
Crosshair looked down, a soft chuckle escaping him. He gently turned you back around by the waist and nudged you deeper into the ship. âYour fault,â he crooned, his voice low and teasing.
Your heart skipped despite your frustration. You craned your neck to look up at him, demanding an explanation, âTell me how.â
âI donât think I will,â he replied, the hint of a smile still in his voice, leaving the words hanging between you like a challenge.
