[Image ID: A digital illustration of The Clone Wars characters, Waxer and Boil, wearing their camouflage and 212th gold ARF Trooper armor. They're lying in a grassy slope on an Earth-like planet, near the edge of a forest, with the sun setting behind the trees. Boil is on his back, head near the bottom right of the canvas, and Waxer is lying next to him, one arm slung over his chest plate. Their legs are tangled up, and they're both squinting up at the viewer, frowning. Boil's hair is a bit messy and his far arm is up near his head. Waxer is lifting his head up, like he's been resting it on Boil's shoulder or chest, and he has stubble on his face and scalp. They both have dirt smudges on their faces, body gloves (usually called 'blacks' in fanon), and their scuffed armor. Their ARF helmets, with Numa painted on the sides, are in the foreground near their legs, alongside a couple DC-15S blasters. End ID.]
This one is for @anstarwar, who loves ARF armor as much as I do. :D
in my AU, Waxer and Boil were ARF trooper sergeants in the 212th Recon Division for a while before they became lieutenants in charge of their own platoons. This scene took place then, when Waxer led Green Squad and Boil led Tal Squad. They got to work together often, and the two squads were extremely close.
I'm imagining that they'd been trekking for days, doing reconnaissance, and finally, after setting up camp, working out sentry rotations, and everything else they had to do, Waxer and Boil finally passed out for a nap. But of course, at some points, one of the 'kids' had to come over and go, "Hey dad?" "Uh, Sergeant?" and Waxer and Boil both woke up all grumpy like, "Someone had better be dead or missing a limb right now..." XD;
This one isn't necessarily shippy, but as with all art and writing, you're free to interpret it however you like! <3
