Forever thinking about this gif in particular.

It’s Echo confused and rambling while he’s still plugged into the Techno Union computer. How he’s still stuck in that moment in the Citadel.

It’s how Rex’s helmet is off so Echo can see his face for the first time in who knows how long. So there isn’t a barrier between them. So he can be as open and vulnerable as possible for Echo.

It’s Rex’s face, his guilt and shame passing over his expression. There’s no doubt in my mind that he’s remembering exactly what happened that day at the Citadel when he lost Echo. It’s the sorrow there. It’s how fucking upsetting this must be for him.

It’s the way he grabs the back of Echo’s head to keep him from hurting himself. It’s his other hand as a grounding presence. It’s the way he looks like he’s trying to hold Echo together with his touch alone.

It’s all the history between them. It’s the shared loss of Fives. The grief. The pain. It’s the endless hours spent knowing and understanding each other. It’s the reminder that Rex met a shiny on the Rishi moon and watched him grow into a capable soldier and an ARC trooper. The same shiny he watched die at the Citadel. The one he can’t help but see even in this moment, after he’s been tortured and experimented on.

It’s how Echo puts all of his faith in Rex and always will. He’s never found a reason to doubt him even after everything he’s been through.

It’s the way Rex so very clearly loves Echo. The way he lets go so Echo can join the batch and learn who he is now. The way their trust transcends everything. It is woven through every story thread, every scene, every line said between them.

It’s a connection that can’t be severed because they’ve never stopped fighting for it.

"So, what's with the paint?"

Bacara, at least, had the decency to turn one dark eye towards Thire as he spoke. Neyo didn't even bother turning around, focused solely on dismantling his blaster at the workstation with practiced hands.

"...You know..." Thire gestured vaguely to their armor with a flap of his hand. "Why does everyone in the GAR have to wear similar colors?"

"...They're not." Neyo was the one who answered- so he was listening!- although his curt tone held an air of "your're an idiot" to it.

Thire squinted at his back, wondering if he was falling into some sort of inside joke.

"No, I'm pretty sure most of them are almost the exact same color. In fact, you two are just a few shades apart."

Thire flicked his gaze over to Bacara, who was watching them both with the same silent intensity of a bursa right before it charged. Neyo had also stopped working and was staring Thire down with a thinned mouth.

"What colors am I wearing, Thire?"

"Uh.... Red?"

"And his?" Neyo jerked his chin towards Bacara.

"A... slightly different red?"

"...What color does Cody wear?"

"What kind of question is that?" Thire scoffed. "It's definitely pink!"

Neyo and Bacara shared a look that was not at all suspicious.

"How the hell did you make it off Kamino?" Neyo wondered aloud, which, true, but rude.

"Hey!"

"You're colorblind," Bacara's gruff voice cut through whatever further argument they were gearing up for.

Thire blinked. Then blinked again.

"Oh."
