âHey, put that down!â You reach over to take the canister of homemade paint from the small green hand.Â
A babble of protest is all you receive as a response.Â
âI told you we could paint if you didnât make a mess. That was the deal, remember?â
Another babble. The hands reach out again, wanting to take the canister from you. You pull it out of their reach, giving the baby in front of you a stern look.Â
âNo, no, kid. Weâre doing it my way. Got it?â
A squeal serves as a response, and you nod, taking hold of one of the kidâs hands to do what youâd planned on doing.Â
âAlright, weâre going to dip your little hand here, okay? Then press it on the wood. We do that 5 more times and hopefully itâll turn out the way I imagined...â
A childish laugh escapes the kidâs mouth as his hand comes in contact with the blue paint. You hold it up, letting some of the excess paint drip from it before placing it on the wood. After a few seconds pressed, you slowly peel away the blue and green hand, revealing three little fingers on the wood piece.Â
âYes, that looks great. Good job, cariño.â
He gives you a happy coo in response, and you continue to put his hand in the paint to finish the project. After the last hand print, you take a hold of the wood, six, three-fingered hands creating the image of a blue flower.Â
âBeautiful. Weâll see if your dad likes it.â
Familiar footsteps come from behind you, and you know their owner can hear your conversation now.Â
âMight be good to put some color on this ship. Make it more of a home, donât you think?âÂ
The child cooâs at you, his eyes focused on the blue paint on his hand. He doesnât understand why youâre saying what you are, but then again, itâs not exactly directed to him.Â
Wordlessly, the one your words are aimed at passes you, the Razor Crestâs door closing behind him. Once you know his back is to you, you allow your eyes to meet the armored body, traveling up from his boots, to his cape, to the back of the Beskar helmet.Â
You avert your gaze, focusing again on the child and art supplies before you.Â
âLetâs get you cleaned up,â you say, picking up the kid from his awaiting arms.Â
You take him to wash his hands of the paint, putting the wood to the side to dry and the other supplies in your designated art bag. You hum to yourself, the only noise within the ship besides the quiet lull now that the ship is traveling through hyperspace. After cleaning up the kid, you put him to bed, placing a small kiss on his forehead.Â
Youâve been traveling with the notorious bounty hunter known as the Mandalorian and his adopted kid for some time now. Din, the name he gave you when youâd asked him in a drunken spark of courage, took you in as a traveling companion and babysitter when theyâd stopped by your recently destroyed shop on Agamar. It just so happened to be the bounty that Din was after that had destroyed your shop, so after giving him and the child your last salvaged fruit, youâd helped him track down the bounty. And now youâre here, traveling the galaxy together.Â
You step into the cockpit, notebook in one hand and pencil in the other. As before, without a word, you take the seat next to Din, crossing your legs on the seat and opening your notebook to your latest project. If thereâs something that living in Agamar gave you it was time, time to think, to daydream, or in your case, draw your thoughts and dreams. When you joined Din and his kid, you only started drawing more, the different things in the galaxy giving you an endless supply of muses.Â
But your favorite muse is the one sitting next to you, the one that hadnât said a word to you since youâd seen him in the morning. As if sensing your thoughts, Din finally speaks.Â
âNext stop is Pasanna.â The modulated voice is like music to your ears, and you donât realized how much youâve been missing it until now.Â
âFor a quarry?â
He shakes his head, look still focused on the controls before him.Â
âNo. I need some parts for the ship, and I know someone there who can sell more durable ones to me.â
You nod, some relief washing over you when you realize Din wonât be in danger. He turns his seat to face you, and the simple view of the front of his helmet makes your heart skip a beat.Â
âItâs warm there. I was thinking, maybe you can take the kid and explore. Visit some shops even.â
Itâs warm there. Itâs a simple statement to anyone, but to you, it means everything. Agamar is not a warm place, and having spent all your life there, you now prefer warmer climates. And Din knows that.Â
You canât stop the smile that makes its way to your face.Â
âThat sounds great, Din. Iâd love that.â
âI thought you would,â he says, and you can feel the tips of your ears warm at his words.Â
Without realizing it, you move your notebook to hide the page youâre working on. Din has seen your drawings before, praised them even. But this drawing, itâs more personal, something youâre not sure youâre ready to share yet.Â
Thankfully, it seems as if Din doesnât notice. Instead, his visor is directed towards your face. Even though youâre not able to see his eyes, the eyes youâve only dreamt about seeing, you can feel his stare.
âYou have some paint on your cheek.â
âOh, I do?â You move your eyes away from him, a flustered mess before him. You bring your hand up to your cheek, trying to wipe away at where you think the paint is.Â
âY/N, let me. Iâll do it for you.â
You couldnât protest if you wanted to, because the moment his hand comes up to take a hold of your cheek you werenât wiping, you freeze.Â
Itâs not the first time heâs touched you. Living together for the past months meant youâd have to have touched each other before. The occasional brush of hands, the bumping into each other, the helping each other onto the ship after a long day. No, itâs not the first time heâs touched you. But itâs the first time heâs touched you like this.Â
His gloved thumb swipes at your cheek, once, twice, three times before youâre sure heâs taken the paint off. But his hand remains holding you, almost as if youâd crumble like the dried paint if it pulled away. And honestly, with the way your heart is thumping, that might be the case.Â
A small sigh escapes your lips, and you try to fight the need to close your eyes, to no avail. Your eyes close lightly, and the feelings youâve been having for Din come rushing to you. If thereâs one thing you know about yourself, itâs that your late night confessions are almost as dangerous as your drunken ones, and right now, youâre treading on thin ice.Â
âDin...â The name rolls out of your mouth as a plea, and you feel a shiver run down your body. âI...I need to tell you something, Din.â
âI think you need to rest.â
You open your eyes at his words, a small frown making its way to your face.Â
âBut first I have to say something.â
His hand stays on your face, his thumb moving up to rub on the frown of your brows.Â
âYou donât have to say anything.â
Donât have to say anything? Does that mean he knows?
âDin, I ââ
âPlease, Y/N, donât say anything.â
And just like that, it feels as if the once comforting hand burns your skin. You pull your face away, his hand dropping. Before you feel like more of a fool, you get up, closing your notebook and tucking it under your arm.Â
âWait, you donât have to go.â Din makes a move to grab your hand, but youâre out of his reach before he can.Â
âGoodnight.â
âY/N...â
You leave the cockpit without another word. You feel your face burn in embarrassment, embarrassment for how vulnerable you allowed yourself to be. Embarrassment for almost telling Din how you feel.Â
It isnât until youâre in your cot that you let a few tears roll down your cheeks. You almost told him. Not that it would have any effect. It seems he knows already. But he doesnât want you to tell him.
You bring your hand up to wipe the wetness of your cheeks. In an attempt to distract your mind, you open your notebook to draw. Only, you open it to the page youâd been working on. And staring back at you is the helmet that fills your day's thoughts. Of course, the moment you want to not think of Din, you open up your sketch of him.
Taking a deep breath, you flip the page, blankness staring back at you instead. Without another thought, you flip back to the drawing, your pencil coming down to continue defining the curve of his helmet. It moves on to sketch the shape of his arms, the flow of his cape, the curve of his boots. Before you know it, youâve finished the sketch. Youâre not going to deny how good it is. Itâs so accurate, and all by memory.Â
Iâve stared at him long enough, I would be surprised if I didnât sketch this by memory, you think.Â
You close your eyes and rub them, the tiredness getting to you. Closing the notebook, you tuck it into the bag of your other art supplies, and settle into your bed, letting the darkness of sleep consume you.Â
~~~
As you feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, youâre sure youâll never get tired of the feeling. The comfort that comes with the sunâs warmth is one youâll always cherish. And youâll always be thankful that Din is the one that introduced you to that comfort.
An excited babble from the kid brings you back from your thoughts. You look over at where heâs following Din in his pod. You canât help but smile at the sight, the warmth blooming in your chest better than the one coming from the sun. At Dinâs insistence, he and the kid had gone to look for the ship parts so that you could get some time to wander the shops alone. That was a little over an hour ago, and now they found you near where you had departed.
You swing the backpack of things youâd bought over your shoulders, walking over to meet them halfway.
âHey, cariño,â you say, reaching out to grab the little green bundle of joy. A happy giggle is given to you in response, and you pull him close to you.
âHe missed his mom.â
You look over at Din, your cheeks burning at his choice of words. His mom. That was the first time youâd been called that.
âWell, I missed him and his dad very much.â Your eyes are focused on the kid, his smile grounding you as you feel the heat travel all the way up to your ears. Youâre not looking at Din, you canât look at him. After last night, you feel as if youâre setting yourself up for heartbreak. He doesnât want you to tell him how you feel, yet, you bring it up again.
Silence is all you receive as a response from him. In a way, youâre thankful for it. At least that way you can concentrate on the baby talk instead.
And thatâs how the rest of the walk to the Razor Crest is. You opt to carry the kid, talking with him the whole walk. Din is silent behind the two of you, the only indicator that heâs even there is the sound of his boots trudging in the sand.
Night is beginning to fall, and for how warm it was in the day, the night brings with it a chilling breeze. Youâve decided to stay in Pasanna until the morning. It was your suggestion, telling Din that there was no rush to your next destination, so might as well get some good rest. Heâd agreed, little words exchanged between the two of you throughout the day, the tension from whatever that was which happened the night before still evidently present.
Youâre sitting in the pilot chair of the Razor Crest. The kid is fast asleep, the dayâs exploring having tired him out. You, on the other hand, canât sleep, your thoughts flying through your mind at hundreds of parsecs per second.Â
Your eyes wander to the many buttons and switches on the control panel of the ship. You know how to use most of them, Din showing you how to use a feature on nights youâd both find yourselves in the cockpit. Usually, youâd sit in the seat slightly behind him, allowing him to sit in the main seat. But when he wanted to teach you a new feature, heâd let you take his seat, crouching next to you, so close, so patient when you were confused. To be fair, most of the times you were confused were due to him; he distracted you, the proximity never ceasing to take your breath away.
The protagonist of your thoughts is the one who takes you from them. You hear Din walk into the cockpit, the sound of his footsteps instantly catching your attention in the otherwise silent space. Impulsively, you turn to look at him, his visor already set on you.
âDin.â
âCouldnât sleep.â Youâre not sure if itâs a question or a statement, but you nod anyways. Your hands begin to clam up, prompting you to rub your hands on your thighs.
âI had a nice time today. I...I appreciate you choosing to come to Pasanna. The warmth was nice.â
He takes a seat in your usual spot, a sigh heard through his modulator. Itâs ironic, in a way. Youâre sitting in the pilotâs seat, him in the secondary, but it doesnât feel like youâre the one in control of the situation. No, it feels like youâre the ship itself, waiting for his directions to tell you where to go from here.
He doesnât say anything, simply nods as a response. Since youâve known Din, youâve never seen him without his helmet on, and youâve never questioned it. But youâd be lying if you didnât wish you could see his face right now, the face that youâre sure is more beautiful than the way you could ever imagine it. You wish you could see his expressions to try to decipher his thoughts, know where exactly his eyes are focused on. Is it your forehead? Your nose? Perhaps directly at your eyes?
âI...I picked up a few things for you at the market.â
You blink a few times to once again refocus on the present. Only now do you notice heâs holding something, a rectangular object wrapped in sand brown cloth.Â
âOh?â Youâre not really sure what else to say, his actions foreign to you.
He gets up to walk to where youâre sitting, crouching in front of you and holding the wrapped object over. You take it from him, curiosity filling you at the anticipation of what this is. Your fingers unwrap the lightly bound cloth, revealing a simple wooden box. You look up at Din, and at his nod, you move to open it. At the contents inside, you gasp. Within the box, there are paint brushes, beautifully crafted ones of different sizes. And next to the brushes are a few small pots of paint. Real paint. Not the homemade one that youâve been making work. No, this is real paint and itâs yours...
âIt reminded me of you.âÂ
At his words, you look up to meet his visor again. Now you really wish you could see his eyes. Try to get some idea as to what heâs thinking, where heâs looking. Is he looking at the confusion written on your face? Is he looking at the way your eyes suddenly feel wet with emotion? Is he looking at the faint frown of your brow?Â
Turns out heâs looking at your lips. Theyâre slightly parted, the absence of words leaving them in a waiting state. His gloved hand comes to take a hold of your chin, thumb swiping your bottom lip. All air leaves your lungs, and your tongue darts out to lick your lips to try to ease the dryness of mouth youâre experiencing. You hear Din let out a small groan at your actions, the sound only making your heartbeat speed up even more.Â
âIâve seen your drawings.â
At his words, you feel heat rush up to your face. Has he seen the ones youâve drawn of him?Â
âHave you seenâŠâ You canât even bring yourself to ask the question.Â
He nods. âThe ones of me? I have seen them. Youâre not the best at being discreet about it, you know?â
âWell, with such a beautiful muse, can you judge me?â You donât realize what youâve said until the words are out of your mouth. âDinâŠIââ
âY/N, about last nightââ
âYou d-donât have to say anything.â You try to repeat his words from the night before with the same coolness heâd said them, but find you canât with the way he makes you feel.Â
âI shouldnât have said that,â he says, sighing lightly. His thumb comes up to touch your lip again, staying on it this time. âIâm just...I donât know what this is. Iâm not good with words, you know that. I just need you to know I care about you, I have for a long time. And I need you in my life. You and the kid, youâre all that matters to me.âÂ
Taking a shaky breath, you bring your hands up to grab the one heâs holding your face with. Slowly, as if youâd frighten him with faster movements, you bring his hand away from your face, taking a hold of the glove and peeling it off his hand. Closing your eyes, you bring his hand up to your lips, kissing each finger. His thumb, his index, his middle, his ring, his pinky. Then you kiss his knuckles, again, one at a time. You donât open your eyes until youâre done, meeting his visor staring back at you.Â
âI love you, Din, mi vida.â
And indeed he is your life. Him and the kid, just like heâd said.Â
âClose your eyes again.â
You do as he says, eyes closing but not letting go of his hand. He moves it away from you, putting your hands on your lap and bringing his up to cover your eyes. You hear the sound of something being placed on the ground, and before you can ask what it is, you feel lips connect with your own. Theyâre soft, warm. Theyâre Dinâs.Â
He kisses you softly, and you can feel the caution behind it. Heâs being careful, waiting to see how you react.Â
You canât get enough of the feeling. Your hands fly up to take a hold of his head, bringing him closer to you and causing him to kneel instead of crouch. Din groans softly at your eagerness, his other hand coming to take a hold of your thigh. His large hand rubs up and down, all while your fingers comb through his hair.Â
His hair. His lips. Youâre feeling what you never thought you would. And it feels so right.Â
The thought alone makes the fire burning inside you grow, and before you know it, youâre nipping lightly at his bottom lip. Another groan escapes Din, his hand on your thigh squeezing lightly. Itâs your need for air that causes you to pull away, your eyes still shut tightly under his hand.Â
You wait there, heart beating, face warm, swollen lips tingling. When Din removes his hand from your eyes, you keep your eyes closed, not wanting to see anything he doesnât want to show.Â
âYou can open your eyes, sweet girl.â
You do, eyes meeting with the familiar visor once again. You canât help but smile, a breathy laugh escaping your lips.Â
âI love you,â you say again.Â
âI love you too. Thereâs nothing I wouldnât do for you.â
That night, you sleep in Dinâs cot with him. Itâs small, and definitely not meant for two people. But itâs the most comfortable sleep youâve ever had.

Obi-Wan Kenobi x senator!reader
reader is gender neutral!
Request: âcongrats chas!! đđđđ how we feelin about âJust say the word. You know Iâd do anything for youâ and obi?â as requested by @cheriebobaâ
Description: Visiting the Unknown Regions has its risks, especially as a Senator of the Galactic Republic. But you never expect the greatest danger to be your Jedi guardian.Â
Word count: ~2.3 k (was planning for it to be around 1 k but here we are)
Warnings: lots of pining! and lots of fluff!
A/N: I really hope you like this Ann! đ„° Thank you so much for your patience! đ I loosely based this off of Harry Styleâs Adore You, hence the title. I was planning on making this sort of sad but couldnât bring myself to do it as I listened to Adore You, so now itâs pure fluff. Also, thereâs little Easter egg is present from my first ever star wars fic, if you catch it, I love you âșïž
P.S. I have begun to specify gender neutral or female/fem readers on the top of each fic! I am open to write for all genders/pronouns!

Youâre not sure you like this. The feeling of vulnerability, the feeling of not knowing. Of course, youâve dealt with the unknown before, even with the feelings of vulnerability, your role as Senator for the planet of Busil forcing you to deal with both. But youâve never felt them the way you do now.Â
Obi-Wan Kenobi. Heâs been assigned as your go-to Jedi guardian for different high-risk trips you make around the galaxy. Being part of the Galactic Senate and being such an outspoken member of the Antislavery committee means you are not a stranger to being a target. Itâs because of that which Obi-Wan was assigned to protect you on any high-risk missions. But itâs due to his enthralling ways that youâre in the mess you find yourself in.Â
Youâd never admit it to anyone, but you have feelings for the Jedi Knight. Youâre not exactly sure how you got to this point. Romance was never something youâd been looking for. For most of your life, youâve been involved in politics. Your mother had been a Senator for Busil back in her time, and being the only child, you followed in her footsteps.
No, youâre not sure how you got to this point. But eventually, he began to take over the thoughts in your mind. The small conversations became the highlights of your days. The small kiss he gives your cheek upon greeting you began to leave a burning sensation too immense to ignore. You began to long for the feeling of his skin on yours, the fleeting touch of hands suddenly not being enough. You found yourself getting lost in his eyes. Your heart began to jump at the simple mention of his name. Yes, you have feelings for Obi-Wan, but you know you shouldnât.Â
Heâs a Jedi, and Jedi have no possessions, no room for attachments. Heâs fully dedicated to the Order, youâve seen it when he talks to you about it. You could never ask him to leave all that behind for you. Instead, youâre left to love him from afar, giving him your heart in silence. But thereâs a part of you that feels guilty for keeping it from him. The basis of your friendship is honesty, itâs always been that. Not telling him about how you feel, it makes you feel dishonest, betraying almost. How do you manage to keep this from him without tainting the pillars of your friendship?
Youâre currently on a diplomatic mission on a planet in the Outer Rim. Naturally, Obi-Wan is with you. Today in particular, he hasnât left your side, taking extra precautions after the rumors of an attempt against you. If it werenât for the important meeting you are to have tomorrow, the mission would have been called off.Â
âWeâll set camp soon, Senator Y/L/N.â One of your safeguards, Edu, says.Â
âThat sounds great,â you say, welcoming the idea of finally getting some rest.Â
âYou must be tired,â Obi-Wan says, and you look over to find him looking at you with a concerned expression.Â
It had begun raining some time back, immediately after your speeders had given way. Youâd planned on lodging locally, not wanting to bring much attention to you and your entourageâs presence. Because of this, the ship youâd travelled in had been hidden, and youâd been traveling in modest speeders up until theyâd stopped working. Now, youâre all left to travel by foot, hoping to reach civilization at sunrise.Â
âAs much as you are, Iâm sure.â He, along with your other companions of the mission, have been walking in the rain. You would have been too, if it werenât for Obi-Wanâs insistence to âgive you at least some coverageâ.
At your response, he smiles. âAlways concerned about me. Itâs you Iâm asking about.â
âIâm simply stating the truth. Youâve been working hard today.â
âNot any harder than most days, rest assured,â he says, and as if on queue, you can see the tiredness in his eyes.Â
âObi, I wish youâd take the time toââ
âWeâll be stopping here, Senator.â Edu interrupts you, and before you can continue, Obi-Wan gives you a smile before going to help set up camp.Â
The loss of speeders not only meant the need to resort to walking; it also meant you had to carry less supplies with you, and consequently, had less tents for the night. Everyone paired up in the tents, and youâd been left to share your tent with Obi-Wan. Somehow, you knew this would be more dangerous than any attempts made on your life.Â
Youâre sitting on the makeshift bed, foot in hand as you lightly massage away the soreness from the dayâs walk. Youâve changed into some comfier clothes, undoing your hairdo to release any tension on your head. You can hear voices outside your tent: Obi-Wan and Edu discussing security measures for the remainder of the stay. Itâs until you hear them bid each other goodnight that your heartbeat quickens.Â
âMay I come in?â Thereâs no door, nowhere to knock, but he still wants to make his presence known.Â
âOf course.â
He enters the tent, the quick opening letting you hear just how bad the rain is outside. This is only emphasized upon seeing him, his brown cloak drenched. Instantly, you stand, making your way towards him with an extra blanket.Â
âObi-Wan, youâre soaked.â
You stand in front of him, holding the blanket out to him. He pulls back the hood of his cloak, showing his hair is just as wet. Your heart hurts at the sight, not wanting him to be in any sort of uncomfortable state.Â
âPlease, take that off.â As quickly as the words leave your mouth, the heat travels up to your face. Obi-Wan notices your flustered state and lets out a small chuckle.Â
âVery direct, I see.â
You reach out to give him a small push. âYou know what I mean, Kenobi.â
He does, since he shrugs off his cloak and takes the blanket you have for him, giving a small thanks. He uses it to dry the ends of his hair, moving to lessen the dampness of the rest of his robes (thankfully, theyâre not as drenched as his cloak). Your eyes follow his every move, practically glued to the movement. When heâs done, he drapes the blanket over his shoulders, and you take a step closer to wrap it tighter. Lost in thought, you leave your hands on the corners of the blanket, your eyes focusing on the cloth material.
âIs something on your mind, darling?â
Just that I would do anything for you. âNo, Obi, just tired is all.â
âYou should get some rest then.â
âI was hoping we could talk? We havenât had much time lately.â
Another small laugh comes from him. âI thought you were tired.â
âWell, yes, but I miss our talks.â
Obi-Wan smiles, giving you a small nod as you make your way to the bed. You sit next to each other, the distance between you seeming too large and too small all at once.Â
âNow tell me, whatâs been going through that brilliant mind of yours?â
Just that I donât know how to live without you. âIâve been worried about the mission.â
Obi-Wanâs eyes soften, and he takes a hold of one of your hands. It takes all your strength not to interlock your fingers with his.Â
âThereâs nothing to be afraid of, my dear. Iâll keep you safe.â
You nod, a smile present on your lips. âI know, Obi. Itâs not that which Iâm worried about. Itâs tomorrowâs meeting. Iâm worried it wonât go as expected.â
âIf there is one thing which I know is guaranteed from this mission, itâs that youâll do great tomorrow. Youâll get through to them, Y/N, trust me.â
âThank you, Obi.âÂ
He smiles, giving your hand a small squeeze. The blanket slips off one of his shoulders, and when he moves to fix it, you notice a small grimace on his face.Â
âAre you hurt?â You try to mask the worry in your voice, to no avail.Â
âNo, Iâm fine. Itâs from an injury in a previous mission.â
Youâre already up from the bed, hands on his affected shoulder.Â
âHave you gotten it treated?â
âThereâs no need. Iâm fine, really.â
âNo need? Obi-Wan, you have to take care of yourself.â
âI do.â
âWell, you have to do better. I donât know what Iâd do if something happened to you.â
You donât realize youâve said the second sentence out loud until you see his eyes fixed on you. Light-toned sapphires, taking your breath away.Â
âI...may I?âÂ
At your request he nods, and you move to put pressure on his shoulder. Your hands push and pull at it, carefully massaging it the way your father taught you when young. You see Obi-Wan lightly flinch once, then see his eyes relax. You continue to work on his shoulder in silence until he speaks.Â
âWhat are you thinking?â
Just that Iâd walk through literal fire for you. âNothing, really.â
âIs that so?âÂ
âYes.â
âHmmmm...â Damn him for knowing you so well.
You finish working on his shoulder, taking your hands away. âHow do you feel?â
He rolls it back, and to your delight, he doesnât grimace anymore. âMuch better. Thank you.â
âA small payment,â you say.Â
âFor what?â
Just for showing me what itâs like to love someone. âAlways being there for me. And not just on missions. Just, always.â
âThereâs nothing to thank, you know that.â
You look at each other for a bit longer before you break your gaze. âWell, I guess we should be going to bed.â
He nods, getting up and setting the blanket heâd had on his shoulders on the floor. He grabs another blanket and rolls it. Heâs about to place it on top of the spread out blanket on the floor when you notice what heâs doing.Â
âYouâre not sleeping on the floor, Kenobi.â
He turns to look at you, an eyebrow raised. You continue before he can protest (and before you second guess yourself).
âYou have a bad shoulder, and youâve had a long day. The bed is big enough. We can both fit. And Iâm not taking no as an answer.â
An amused smile makes its way to his face. Nodding once again, he picks up the blankets, placing them to the side. You help him fix the bed before slipping under the blankets, Obi-Wan slipping in next to you. Looking up at the tent ceiling and feeling him so close to you, you wonder how you ever thought this was a good idea. Youâre just thankful he canât hear the beating of your heart, at least you hope he canât.Â
âSomethingâs on your mind.â Itâs a statement this time, the third time heâs addressed your pensive state. âAnd itâs not about tomorrowâs meeting.â
Just that I donât know how much longer I can go without telling you how I feel. You hate keeping this from him. Youâve both always been so honest to each other, why not be honest with this too?
You take a gulp before speaking. âCan I tell you something?â
At the seriousness of your voice, he shifts his body so that itâs facing you, giving you his full attention. You, on the other hand, keep your eyes on the tent ceiling.
âYes.â
You take a deep breath, and to your own surprise, turn to face him. Like this, heâs even closer, mere inches separating the tips of your noses.Â
âI adore you, Obi. I have for some time. Weâve always been so honest with each other, and because of that, I need you to know. But know that youâre not obliged to say or do anything. You donât have to say you love me, you donât have to say you donât. You donât have to say anything. I just need you to know.â You take another deep breath. âI just hope to ask one thing.â
âJust say the word. You know Iâd do anything for you.â
His voice is so sincere, and you have to bite the inside of your cheek to calm your breathing.Â
âJust...let me adore you. Itâs been such a beautiful experience for me to feel these things that I do for you. Different and even frightening at times, but really, Iâd have it no other way.â Itâs after you say the words that fret begins to cloud your mind. Why have you told him? What do you expect him to say? What of the Jedi order?
Obi-Wan closes the distance between you by taking a hold of your face, strong hands holding your cheeks to bring you towards him. His lips land on your forehead, and he gives you a kiss that eases even the sound of the strong rain. With eyes closed, you feel like youâre in the clouds. One of your hand comes up to hold his wrist, while the other lands on his chest, right above his heart. The feeling of his heartbeat under your fingertips is what elicits a bloom within your heart.Â
âIâd be honored, my love. Only if you allow me to do the same.â
You look up to meet his eyes, the mesmerizing eyes that took your breath away the first time you saw them. âAre you saying that...â
âYes, darling. I love you. Itâs the only thing Iâll ever do.â
Now itâs your turn to kiss him. You take a hold of his face, bringing his lips to yours. The feelings from it, theyâre amazing. You know now that the feelings of vulnerability and not knowing are not bad; theyâre part of the experience of loving and being loved.Â
Obi-Wan holds you that night as you sleep, and you swear youâve never slept better. Yes, youâre sure you love this.

night in 79âČs
Anakin Skywalker x fem!reader

Request: âCongrats on 100 again!!! Look at you đ€§đ€§ im so proud, a queen getting the recognition she deserves :') I was wondering, could I get #59 from prompt list #1 w/ Anakin por favor? đ„șâ€â as requested by @anakinswhore
Description: After accepting an invitation to unwind at 79âs from his men, Anakin meets the person who will show him love like no other.Â
Word count: ~1.8k
Warnings: some alcohol consumption, some mention of physical illness, sprinkle of spicyness đ¶, unapologetic fluff attack
A/N: this is a prequel to sun, but it can be read on its own! I love sun so much, especially because it was one of my first fics, so I wanted to show how reader and Anakin met for that fic! Since the other fic was somewhat sad, I wanted to give the two some fluff đ Also, Julia, I know you liked sun a lot as well, so I thought itâd be fitting to make this the prequel đ„° If yâall want to listen to the song I had on repeat when writing both sun and this, go ahead and listen to My Fatherâs Favorite by Patrick Doyle from the Sense and Sensibility soundtrack. Itâs from writing sun with that song that it now reminds me so much of Anakin (itâs my theme for him tbh).Â
P.S. Y/L/N indicates âyour last nameâ :)

ââ
Anakin is confident. Or at least, he likes to think he is. He easily takes command on the battlefield, sure of himself when giving orders to his men. So why is it that heâs hesitating now?
It might be because heâs in a new setting, one that he never expected to be in after a battle-filled week: 79âs. Yes, Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight and general of the 501st battalion is in the clone bar surrounded by his men.Â
Itâd been Fivesâs idea, in a way. Heâd been talking to a few of the other clone troopers about how much he was looking forward to unwinding in 79's after âthis Maker-forsaken weekâ, when Anakin walked in on the conversation. Surprised by his entrance, Fives blurted out an invitation to the general, not expecting him to accept. Only, he did. And now Anakin is starting to wish he hadnât.Â
Heâs sitting in a booth, handling a Bloody Rancor, as recommended by Jesse. Sitting next to him is Rex, Anakinâs right hand man both on and off the field. Rex can sense his generalâs uneasiness, indicated by his lack of talking and wandering gaze.Â
âGeneral Skywalker, are you feeling okay?âÂ
Anakin turns to look at Rex, nodding. âYes, Rex, Iâm fine. Iâm just getting used to being in a cantina again. The last time I was in one was on a mission with Obi-Wan in my Padawan days.â
Rex chuckles lightly at the response, turning back to resume his conversation with his brothers on the table.Â
Anakin, on the other hand, keeps looking around. What for, heâs not sure. But his eyes keep traveling, mindlessly. Heâs taking a sip of the Bloody Rancor when his eyes stop. He nearly spits out his drink.Â
Heâs looking at you. Youâre sitting with some friends, a similar drink to his nestled between your hands. Youâre laughing, your face radiant under the cantina lights, and Anakin canât help but stare.Â
Fives is the first to notice Anakinâs staring. He nudges Echo, motioning over to Anakin. Rex catches the twoâs conversation, and his eyes follow their own, seeing the look of curiosity on Anakinâs face.Â
âYou should ask her for a dance,â Fives says.Â
Echo looks at Fives in disbelief, shocked that heâd suggest that. âFives, Jedi canâtââÂ
âI know, I know,â Fives interrupts his mumbling brother. âThat doesnât mean he canât enjoy a dance, does it?â
At Fivesâs suggestion, Anakin is hesitant again. He wants to go talk to you, he really does, but heâs not sure if he should. But then you turn, the feeling of his eyes on you prompting you to look at him. The smile on your face widens, and now Anakin is convinced he has to go talk to you.Â
He takes a large gulp of the Bloody Rancor, prompting a small cheer from the clones on the table (except Rex, who doesnât want to pressure Anakin). He stands, smoothing his Jedi robes before making his way over to the table you and your friends are sitting at.Â
When he reaches your table, he clears his throat. Your eyes lock with his own again, and the way your eyes themselves are smiling at him make Anakin feel like a youngling again.Â
As if on queue, a new song starts, a slower song that has couples flocking to dance.Â
âHello, I donât mean to interrupt. I was wondering if you wanted to dance?â Heâs extending his hand to you, and though he looks sure of himself, inside his heart is beating like a drum.Â
âIâd love to,â you say, and Maker the sound of your voice alone has him weak at the knees.Â
âY/N, are you sure?â The woman sitting next to you tries to ask you discreetly, but Anakin picks up what she says. Looking over at her, he sees similarities between you and her, and heâs sure youâre related.Â
âIâm fine, Lani, itâs a slower song.â The woman, Lani, nods, though she doesnât look fully convinced.Â
You take a hold of Anakinâs hand, skin coming to contact with his own. He leads you to where other couples are dancing, and places his gloved hand on the small of your back, making sure not to go too low. Your free hand takes a hold of his shoulder, and, following his lead, you begin to sway to the music.Â
At first, neither of you speak. You just move with the music, a small, content smile on your face. Then Anakin breaks the silence.Â
âYour name is Y/N.â Itâs more of a statement than a question, having heard what Lani called you.Â
âYes, Iâm Y/N Y/L/N. And who do I have the pleasure of dancing with tonight?â Youâre uncommonly bold tonight, unbeknownst to Anakin.Â
âAnakin Skywalker,â he says.Â
âAnakin.â You say his name. You enjoy the way it feels to say it, and Anakin knows he could hear you saying his name over and over again.Â
âLani, is she your...â
âMy sister. Sheâs my older sister.â
Anakin nods, the similarities in looks making sense. âShe didnât seem to want you to come dance.â
âItâs nothing against you, trust me. Sheâs just worried because Iâm sick.â
Anakinâs eyebrows raise lightly. âSick?â
You nod, a bashful look crossing your face and causing you to look down. âI can be prone to getting sick often, more often than most, and my body isnât the strongest to fight it off. Lani can be protective because of that. I donât usually tell people right away, but I guess I should give you a chance to run before anything.â
Anakin frowns lightly. Run? Who said anything about running? He takes his hand away from your back to slightly lift your chin, prompting you to look at him.Â
âIâm not going anywhere.â
Your face instantly lights up with a smile, one that Anakin knows he wants to always keep on your face.Â
The two of you are seemingly stuck to each other the rest of the night, dancing and talking non stop. When itâs time to go home, Anakin walks you to your place, already making plans for when to see you again. Your meetings multiply over the days, the months, and soon, youâre seeing each other every chance you get.Â
Itâs right before an assignment heâs sent on that he realizes he loves you. Heâs known for some time now, arguably heâs known since the moment he laid eyes on you that night in 79âs. But thereâs something about today, about the thought of not seeing you for Maker knows how many rotations, that pushes the thought to the front of his mind.Â
He loves you, and he needs to let you know.
Anakin is standing outside the door of your home, waiting for you to answer the door. He should be back at the Jedi temple, ready to depart with Rex, but heâs not.Â
You open the door, a surprised look on your face at the sight of him. Meanwhile, Anakin is smiling, the usual smile his face adapts every time he sees you.Â
âAni, I thought you were off to Naboo today.â
âI am, but I wanted to see you first.â
Your mouth curls up to a smile, and you open the door wider to let him in. Once inside, you hug him and give him a kiss on the cheek.Â
âI love that you came, but arenât you going to be late? You said Rex and you were set to leave at,â you look over at the clock on your wall. âNow!â
Anakin laughs lightly, wrapping his arms around your waist to pull you into him. Youâre not sure how heâs so calm about being late for his assignment; in all your time knowing him, heâs never been late.Â
âItâs alright, my love. I told Rex to expect delays.â
At his nonchalant manner, you canât help but join in and laugh. You take a hold of his face, bringing it down so that you can kiss him. When your lips meet, they mold perfectly, as always. Anakin moves to deepen the kiss, his brows furrowed in concentration. His eagerness reminds you of your first kiss together.Â
Youâd been sick, and Anakin had stopped to check up on you. After helping feed you some soup, much to your protest, you were wiping your mouth. His eyes focused on your lips, and in a bash of boldness, heâd leaned in to take your lips with his. The two of you were left breathless, much like now.Â
Your need for air causes you to pull back, to Anakinâs dismay. He could kiss you forever, the taste of your lips doing more at keeping him alive than oxygen itself.Â
Without hesitating, Anakin speaks. âI love you.â
You pull his face down to yours again, literal electricity sparking when your lips meet. Youâve kissed him just seconds ago, but this kiss, itâs different.Â
Anakinâs arms around you tighten, mouth exploring your own, as if it holds hidden treasures. Your hands entangle in his locks, tugging lightly and earning a groan from him. You take a small nip at his lip before pulling back, taking in the look of a closed eyed, drunken-like Anakin.Â
âWow.â
His response elicits a giggle from you, the sound making Anakin open his eyes.Â
âI love you, sun of my life. I always will,â you say.Â
He leans in to kiss you for a third time, this time trading your lips for the top of your head. Itâs soft and tender, one that evokes a content sigh from you.Â
âCome to Naboo with me.â His lips are still on top of your head, his invitation mumbled.Â
You pull back to look up at him. Youâve never been anywhere but Coruscant, Anakin knows that. Heâd always promised you that heâd take you to experience the different worlds within the galaxy. Youâd always assumed heâd meant after the war. Anakin, on the other hand, saw no better time than now.Â
âIâm sure guests arenât allowed on assignments related to Jedi business,â you say, cocking a brow.Â
Anakin gives you a lopsided grin, moving a strand of hair from your face.Â
âNobody has to know.â The look of confusion on your face causes him to laugh. âI could sneak you on the transport. Itâll just be Rex, a few of my men, and I. It shouldnât be difficult.â
âAni, I donât want to get you into any trouble.â
âYou wonât, donât you worry about that. Plus, the Festival of Light will be tomorrow. Iâd love for you to see it.â
Anakin sees and senses your hesitation. When you let out a sigh, he knows heâs won.Â
You finally agree, and Anakin envelopes you in a hug. Itâs the first of many assignments and low risk missions he sneaks you into. He makes it his mission to show you the galaxy, to show you the beauties that, for him, will never compare to you.Â
Every time you land on a new planet, a smile of pure fascination paints your face. And every time Anakin sees it, he knows thereâs nothing he wouldnât do to keep you smiling.Â

ââ
The hot tears flow down your cheeks. Weak, weak, youâre so weak. The thought replays in your head once, twice, multiple times. You bite the inside of your cheek, your attempt at controlling your emotions falling short.Â
Itâs moments like these where you wish you could just leave. Where to, you arenât sure; all you know is you donât want to be here, not right now. Your hand comes up to wipe the wetness at your face away, a sense of dread setting within you for reacting the way you did.Â
Itâs not that big of a deal, just ignore it.Â
You wish you could. But for whatever reason, you canât. It affects you more than youâd ever admit, and each time you canât help but replay the same words in your head: weak, weak, weak.Â
This is not a rare occurrence, and thatâs part of what makes you feel so powerless. It seems every time you have a confrontation, your eyes open the faucets of tears. It makes you feel small, so utterly small.Â
Itâs no different this time. You work in Coruscantâs Senate Executive Building, part of the security division. Youâre under the section that organizes the various Senate Guards, determining shifts, layouts, and other such business. You usually love your job, feeling as if youâre doing your part in keeping the peace across the galaxy. However, there are times that you feel unfit for the job, just like today.Â
You mishandled a few of the schedules for the week, giving the guard units who usually cover each other the same day off. As a result, there was no one to guard one of the main landing hangars. Thankfully, no mishaps happened, but when your supervisor found out you were the one responsible, he gave you the sermon that caused your break.Â
After he had reminded you for the umpteenth time just how dangerous your mistake had been, he dismissed you for the day. The walls of his office did nothing to stop your colleagues from hearing every word, so you waited until you were out of their deep stares to let the tears flow freely.Â
Now youâre headedâactually, you donât know where youâre headed. Youâre walking around the corridors of the building mindlessly, not exactly wanting to go home to be alone with your thoughts. Itâs only until you hear a soft voice behind you that you realize which corridor you had walked into.Â
At the voiceâs second call, you turn around, the worried face of Senator PadmĂ© Amidala looking back at you.Â
âY/N, are you okay?â
You bite the inside of your cheek again, the question causing the somewhat controlled tears to jump back to the corners of your eyes, ready to be released onto your face. PadmĂ©âs face softens, and she approaches you to take a hold of your hand.Â
âHere, letâs go somewhere else,â she says, leading you to her office.Â
You want to protest, not wanting to be a burden for PadmĂ©, but you canât find the strength to say anything without breaking down again. When the two of you enter her office, you feel some of the weight on your shoulders lessen thanks to being away from the public eye. She letâs go of your hand, and walks to the couches. She takes a seat, and you stand there for a second, contemplating whether you should sit down or just excuse yourself.
âPlease, Y/N, take a seat.â
You oblige, taking a seat on the couch next to her. PadmĂ© and you are friends, your friendship developing thanks to your position. You see each other often in the building, and would often greet one another; one day in particular, your greeting had become more of an actual conversation, and you two soon wound up having tea together at least once a week. The scent of your favorite tea takes you out of your thoughts, and you look over to see PadmĂ© already serving you a cup. She hands it over to you, a soft and comforting smile on her face.Â
âNow, do you want to talk about how youâre doing?â Â
You take a sip before answering. âItâs nothing really, Senator Amidala. Iâve...Iâve just had a long day.â
A frown etches itself onto her features. She knows youâre keeping the details from her, but she wonât insist. âWell, if it helps, we can talk about other things, to keep your mind off of work. And please, you know you donât have to be formal with me.â
You nod, not having realized youâd let the formal title slip. âYes, thatâd be nice. Tell me, how has your senator business been?â
With the question, PadmĂ© begins a rundown on all the things sheâs been working on since your last meeting. She talks about the recent blockade attempt by the Trade Federation, as well as some of the issues the Loyalist Committee have been discussing. It helps clear your mind, as she had suggested, and youâre thankful for it.Â
You go up to wipe the corner of your eye to rid of the crusty feeling left by your dried tears. Youâre smiling, the usual smile you have whenever youâre with PadmĂ©. Sheâs telling you about a rather amusing experience she recently had at a senator dinner when thereâs a quick knock on the door.Â
âOh, Iâm sorry, let me get that,â PadmĂ© says, patting your hand before getting up to open the door.Â
When she does open it, the unmistakable dark robes of Anakin Skywalker catch your eye. You see he makes a move to step in, a wide smile on his face. At the sight of you, however, he stops, a surprised look replacing his smile as he speaks to PadmĂ© in a hushed tone.Â
Placing your cup down, you stand and make your way over to the door. You plan to give them some space, knowing theyâd both appreciate it. Youâve suspected for some time now that there is something going on between the Jedi and your friend, something more than a work relationship or a friendship even. Â
You stand near PadmĂ©, close enough for her to notice you but far enough as to not listen in to their conversation. She turns to look at you, Anakin giving you a small smile as he looks at you as well.Â
âI should get going, PadmĂ©. I have some things to do before going home tonight. Thank you for the talk.â
âThereâs nothing to thank, Y/N. You know I always enjoy our time together.â
You hug her as a goodbye, telling Anakin goodbye as well before leaving the office. Youâre a few doors down from PadmĂ©âs office when you hear the soft sound of her door closing, the two having gone inside.Â
In reality, you have nothing to do before going home. Leftovers from yesterday will serve for dinner, and youâd gone to get your weekly groceries and supplies a couple days back. No, nothing to do but get started on some work for tomorrow, maybe go to bed a little earlier...
You almost question whether youâre already asleep when you see the personification of your favorite dreams before you.Â
âObi-Wan.â
He turns at the sound of your voice, cerulean eyes locking with yours. He smiles at you, a smile that can take away any worry from your mind. You approach him, your feet seemingly leading you to him on their own. Itâs until youâre standing before him that youâre suddenly shy.Â
âY/N, lovely seeing you.âÂ
Your heart leaps. Youâre at a loss for words, and you beg the stars to let you say something. Thankfully, they compromise with you by promoting him to speak.Â
âI just arrived with Anakin. I needed to talk with Senator Organa about something, and Anakin said he had some business here as well, though he wouldnât say what exactly...â he trails off, his voice thoughtful.Â
You contemplate telling him that heâs with PadmĂ©, but know you canât do that. They donât need anyone else on their tail.Â
âWell, Iâm sure Anakin knows what he needs to do.â
Obi-Wan nods at your words. âI suppose he does.â The thoughtful expression he held changes to one at ease. âAnd where are you headed, if I may ask? Maybe I can walk with you.â
Itâs the way your heartbeat is thumping at your chest that lets you know this is reality and not indeed a dream. You rush to answer, not wanting to lose your ability to speak once again.Â
âIâm headed home, actually. I...I finished early for the day.â Not a lie, but not the entire truth.Â
âIf I may?â He extends his arm, and you take it, tingling sensations present at the touch.Â
Due to your job, youâve worked with Obi-Wan on different occasions. Like with PadmĂ©, you developed a friendship with the Jedi, one that youâve come to deeply appreciate. Only, unlike your relationship with PadmĂ©, you have feelings for Obi-Wan, more than the usual feelings one has for friends, even close friends.Â
âHow was your day? I heard there was a mix up with some guards. I hope that didnât cause you any problems?â
Your heart sinks at his words. Of course he had heard about that. Just like heâs worked with you before, heâs worked with your department countless times. In fact, heâs currently on an assignment in collaboration with your department, the one he had probably come to discuss with Senator Organa.Â
You donât realize youâve tightened your grip on Obi-Wanâs arm until he puts his other hand on top of your own. When you turn to look at him, heâs already looking at you, worry etched onto his face.Â
âY/N, my dear, is something wrong?â
âI...â The pounding of your heart fills your ears, and you close your eyes while taking a deep breath to try to control it. âIâm okay. I just...I was the one responsible for that mistake.â
Before you know it, the tears have returned to your face. Obi-Wan stops walking when he realizes, taking a soft hold of your arms. You wipe away at your face, embarrassment making you want to run and hide.Â
âThere, there, itâs okay.â Obi-Wanâs hands, his warm, sturdy hands, rub your arms, the feeling alleviating the pounding of your head. âIt was an honest mistake. No one is exempt from making one of those every once in a while.â
You shake your head, all the feelings youâve cooped up for days now, feelings not even relating to todayâs events, come crashing down all at once.Â
âIâI know that. Itâs not even that which gets me so upset. I just feel so utterly weak,â you say in between your tear induced hiccups.Â
âWeak? Darling, youâre not weak.â
âI am, Obi. Iâve been keeping these feelings bottled up inside of me, and I let them get the best of me. Theyâre the reason I made that stupid mistake, and theyâre the reason I broke down after the talk I was given.â
You cover your face with your hands. Itâs an attempt to stop the sobs from escaping your mouth, an attempt to hide from Obi-Wanâs searching look, an attempt to just disappear.
The feeling of being pulled into Obi-Wanâs chest is what makes you finally move your hands from your face. When you do, youâre met by his neck, and without any hesitation, you bury your face into it, your arms wrapping around him. He holds you there for what seems like hours, though is most likely just a minute. His hands rub up and down your back, each stroke acting like another hammer into the walls youâd eradicated.Â
âItâs been a rough few days.â Your voice is muffled, but Obi-Wan hears you nonetheless.Â
âDo you want to talk about it?â
Youâre about to say no, afraid of facing it all. But when his fingers come up to tuck some of your hair behind your ear, the final hammer to your wall causes it to crumble.Â
âYes.â
At your response, he pulls you back, making sure to still keep you close. His hands stay on your arms, keeping you physically and emotionally steady.Â
âIâve been having some problems with my family. Itâs...itâs nothing big really. I just havenât felt very appreciated by them. You know how they can be.â
He nods at your words. Youâve talked to him about them before, and heâs met them on two occasions.Â
âI just feel like they donât see everything Iâm doing sometimes. And it really hurts me, because I feel like they expect more and I donât know if I can give that to them. IâI donât want you to think theyâre horrible people; I love them, very much so, but they do have their faults, as everyone, I suppose.â
âI would never think that,â Obi-Wan says, and at his words, you let out a breath you didnât know you were holding. Youâre hesitant about sharing your family troubles with others, especially Obi-Wan. You donât want him to view them in a bad light, especially because of how important he and they are to you.Â
âAnd I guess thatâs been clouding my mind a lot. So when that happened today, I just, I guess I broke. It made me feel like I canât even do that right, the one thing I pride myself in being good at. And to make matters worse, it made me feel so vulnerable, so weak, how easily I can break.â
âDonât...â Obi-Wan sighs. âPlease donât think of yourself like that. Y/N, you are so fucking powerful, so strong, so resilient. You are the kindest, most caring being I know. You work so hard, and do it with purpose. I need you to realize that.â His eyes are locked onto your own, light cerulean orbs searching for any reaction from you.Â
Your head is spinning. Obi-Wanâs words take a minute to process. When you finally muster the words to speak, heâs still looking at you with the same intensity.Â
âThank you.âÂ
Itâs simple. A thank you. But itâs exactly what sums up everything that you feel as a result of his words. A thank you for reminding you just how powerful you are.Â
One of his hands slides down your arm to take a hold of your hand, leaving a blazing trail at its touch. Holding onto your fingers, he brings your knuckles up to his lips. He kisses them tenderly, leaving you breathless.Â
âThereâs nothing to thank, my darling.â
Before you let the moment pass, you bring your other hand to hold his. With both of your hands holding onto his own, itâs your turn to kiss his knuckles. Your lips connect with the warm skin, and when you move back, your lips are tingling.Â
If Obi-Wan is surprised by your actions, he doesnât show it. He simply smiles, the smile that you love so much. You smile in return, hoping that you can convey to him just how thankful you are for this, for him.
He does know, for when you see him again the next day, he takes no time to greet you with another kiss on your hand, his lips lingering longer than before, seemingly spelling out the word itself: powerful.Â

ââ
The first thing that greets you every morning is the same: heat. Unending, dry heat that youâre sure is the result of the twin suns that decorate Tatooineâs sky. This morning, itâs not different, the heat hitting you in a wave as you become aware of your surroundings. The second constant of every morning for you is the cough. Similar to the heat, it is dry and unending, violently shaking the body of itâs victim. And itâs the sole perpetrator of your final and heaviest constant of every morning: worry. Â
Worry settles in you every morning, the frequency of it not making it any less heavy on your mind. Your mother is the sole family you have, and sheâs sick, her health not improving as the days pass. Part of you wonders if itâs the rough conditions of Tatooine that prevent her recovery.Â
Getting up from your bed, you walk over to your momâs room. Sheâs sitting up on her bed, hand over her mouth and she coughs once, twice, three times. Her eyes meet yours as you enter, and she tries her best to give you a comforting smile.Â
âGood morning, love,â she greets.Â
âGood morning, mom. How are you feeling?â Youâre next to her at this point, your hand extended to help her get up.Â
âAh, well same as always. Not better, but not worse, thank the stars.â
Thatâs the thing about your mom, she always looks at the bright side. It helps you in a way, but never works to fully take away your worry.Â
âHere, let me help you to the kitchen so we can eat some breakfast,â you say. She takes a hold of your hand to get up, then letâs go.Â
âIâm okay to walk, Y/N. Like I said, Iâm not feeling worse today.â She smiles at you to get her point across, and you nod at her before walking to the kitchen.Â
Once there, you grab some haroun bread, hubba gourd preserves, and blue milk. You set them all on the table, along with two plates and two cups. Right as you take your seat, your mom walks into the kitchen, taking a seat on the chair across from you.Â
âThank you, love.â
âOf course.â
The two of you dig into your respective breakfasts. You notice the hubba gourd preserves are running low, and make a mental note to make some more.Â
âOne of the vaporators seems to be acting up,â she says. âIâll check it out and see if I have to fix it after breakfast.â
Quickly, you shake your head. âThatâs alright, I can handle it.â
âY/N...â
You interrupt her before she has a chance to protest.Â
âMom, itâs fine. Iâm headed to the market today anyways. Itâd be good to check on the vaporators beforehand to know if I need any supplies to fix them.â
Your mom sighs, shaking her head lightly. She knows youâve made up your mind on the matter. âWell, let me at least ask Beru to have Luke help you with the vaporators. I was hoping to visit her since she promised me some of her blue milk cheese last time I saw her.â
You shake your head again, this time not as quickly.
âIâm alright. I donât need Luke to help me. Really, I can handle it.â
Another sigh escapes her lips before a small smile appears. She reaches over to place a hand on your cheek. The once soft hand is now rough, calloused due to years of work.Â
âMy sweet, sweet girl. What would I do without you?â
You just smile at her back, some heat brushing your face at her words.Â
âThatâs what Iâm here for, mom.â
Your mother has been sick for some time now. Like she says, it doesnât technically get worse, but youâre sure something this long term doesnât help anybodyâs health. For as long as you can remember, itâs always been just your mom and you, your father having passed when you were young. Sheâs taken care of you all your life, nursing you back to health whenever youâve fallen ill. Now itâs your turn to help her.Â
Once breakfast is done, you kiss your momâs cheek before heading to check in the vaporators. She lets you know she is going to visit the Lars family, but should be back for dinner.Â
You step out into the scorching heat, eyes instantly squinting to adjust to the brightness. Tools in hand, you walk over to the vaporator that is giving trouble. Once you reach it, you begin to inspect it, quickly determining one of the condensers is busted. Should be an easy replacement, but you need to buy some at the market.Â
Cleaning your hands on a rag, you walk over to your home again to drop off the tools and grab some bags to carry what you plan to buy at the market. You notice your mom is no longer there, having already gone to visit the Lars.Â
You start the short walk over to the market, almost reaching it when you hear someone running behind you and your name being called. You turn to find who the owner of the voice is, and find Luke slowing down as he catches up to you, you smile.Â
âHi Luke,â you say as he reaches you. And though he had been the one who had been running, you know heâs not as breathless as you are at the moment.Â
He takes a few breaths before speaking. âHey,â he says and takes another breath. âI went to look for you at your house but hadnât caught you in time.â
âI need to buy a new condenser for one of the vaporators, as well as some other things from the market.â
âYour mom told me,â he says. The two of you begin your walk to the market, sound of conversation and the smell of different food indicating itâs near.Â
âDid she also tell you to help me with the vaporators?â You look at him as you ask your question, your eyebrow rising slightly.Â
His face gives it all away. âIâno she didnât.â
âLuke...â
âOkay,â he says, raising his hands slightly. âShe did ask me to help you out, but in my defense I already planned on visiting you today.â
Luke and you have been friends since childhood. The Lars family are your neighbors, your mom and Beru having always been friendly with each other. With Luke and you being around the same age, it was easy for you to gravitate towards one another. You two are inseparable, and really, you wouldnât have it any other way.Â
âWell, you know Iâm never opposed to seeing you, Luke, but I can fix the vaporator on my own.â
Once you reach the market you walk straight to the shop that you know will have condensers. Luke is next to you the whole time, not leaving your side.Â
âI know you can, but I also know you probably have like 10 other things to do today. Let me help you with that one thing.â
After picking up a condenser, you look over at Luke. Heâs staring at you, his blue eyes searching your face as he waits for your response. You place a hand on his shoulder and squeeze it lightly.Â
âTrust me, 11 things isnât that much different than 10. I can do it.â
Luke throws his head back and gives a dramatic sigh. You laugh as you make your way to purchase the part, Lukeâs response being exactly what you expected.
âIt wonât hurt you to have some help every once in a while, you know?â Luke is behind you as you pay.Â
âI know.â
You both leave the shop and walk towards the main line of food stands. You go around to different stands, with you buying the different food and supplies that are running low back home, while Luke is next to you talking about what heâs been up to since the last time heâd seen you.Â
Youâre back home now, hands deep in the vaporator, Luke sitting on the ground next to you. He helped you carry the condenser and some other things back and had almost started fixing the vaporator. You protested before he got his hands on it, reminding him that his original plan was to visit you, making him your guest, and guests donât fix vaporators.Â
You raise your arm to wipe some sweat off your brow. Setting the tools down, you turn to grab the water canteen that you had brought, finding Luke already holding it out. Thanking him, you take the canteen, bringing the opening to your lips and greedily drinking the cool liquid, some of it dripping down your chin. As you drink, you can feel Lukeâs eyes on you, making you suddenly need more water.Â
Taking a last gulp, you close the canteen and hand it back to Luke. He keeps his eyes on you, even as he grabs it and takes a drink himself. Now itâs your turn to stare. The way his lips connect with the opening, the way his neck moves as he drinks, the way he looks under the sun, the â
âDo I have something on my face, Y/L/N?â
At his words, you blink a few times. Before you get flustered under his gaze, you huff, deciding to put on a playful front instead of letting him know you were admiring him.Â
âI should be asking you that, Skywalker. Youâre the one that was staring first. If I didnât know any better, Iâd think I have a doop bug on my face.â
Luke laughs, a genuine, full laugh that sounds like music to your ears. And with that, your playful front vanishes, replaced by the flustered state that only Luke can cause. In order to avoid having him see you this way, you turn your attention back to finish off the vaporator.Â
You finish right before nightfall, the simple task taking longer than planned thanks to Luke, your favorite distraction. When youâre putting away the tools you used, Luke is standing behind you, talking to you about some new parts he got to tinker around with his familyâs vaporators.Â
âIf you like, you can come over and I can show them to you. You might still find your mom there.â
You nod at his offer, practically jumping at the opportunity to spend more time with him. âYeah, thatâd be great. I might have to steal some of your ideas for the vaporators.â
So you walk with him to his home, bumping into your mom just about halfway. She has some of Beruâs blue milk cheese, and you let her know youâll be home soon. When you arrive to the Lars homestead, you greet Owen and Beru, and Luke leads you to his room.Â
He goes directly to where he has some of his new parts on a table on the corner of his room. Luke is fiddling around with some of the parts, but your eyes land on two little figurines made of wood from japor trees that are on the corner of the table. You pick them up, and upon further inspection you recognize them. You give way to a small gasp, and Luke turns to look at you.Â
âWhatâs wrong? Oh...â His eyes land on the figurines in your hand, one of a girl and the other of a boy.Â
âAre these...are these the ones I made you when we were kids?â Your fingers trace the edges of the rather crude wood carvings, a smile finding its way to your face. âI made these when I was like 10.â
âYeah, IâIâve had them since.â
âWhy? I mean, theyâre not really that good,â you say, laughing at the disproportionate legs and arms.Â
âBecause you made them. For me. How could I not keep them?â
You raise your eyes to look at him, finding heâs looking down at the wood carvings. You take the moment to appreciate how close he is to you. At this proximity, you freely look at his blonde hair, his lashes, his dimpled chin. Heâs the epitome of your favorite dreams, and youâd love nothing more than to let him know that.Â
âI really appreciate you keeping them, Luke.â
He looks up to meet your eyes, a warm smile on his face. Thanking the proximity once again, you have a better view of his smile, the smile that gives you goosebumps on even the hottest Tatooine days.Â
âHere, let me show you the parts.â
After Luke gushes to you about his plans to modify the vaporators to work more efficiently, he asks you if youâd like to go outside and take advantage of the cooler air. Now, the two of you are sitting under the moonsâ light, the absence of the twin suns allowing a small relief of the usual heat.Â
âSo, will you let me modify your vaporators if my technique works?â Luke asks, hope evident in his voice.Â
âYou can teach me how to modify one. I can take care of the rest. I wouldnât want to keep you from your other duties.â
âYou wouldnât be keeping me from anything, Y/N. You know I love helping you.â
You nod. âI know, Luke. But really, I can do the rest on my own.â
Luke is silent for a second. The seconds soon turn to a few minutes, and you would be okay with it if it werenât for the unreadable expression on his face. Youâre about to break the silence when he beats you to it. Â
âWhy do you always think you have to do everything on your own?â
There it is, thereâs the question you know heâs been wanting to ask, but hoped he wouldnât. A sigh escapes your lips as the emotions youâd been holding back come tumbling down like an avalanche. You feel tears start to well in your eyes, and you look down at your hands to hide them from him.Â
âBecause, Luke, I know one day Iâll be on my own. Youâre destined for so much, I know this and you do too. I know one day youâll be out in the galaxy fulfilling that great destiny of yours, and you should. But I know I have to stay here to care for my mom, and one day sheâll be too weak to do even the smallest things. And that day itâll all fall on me, so I need to be prepared for when that day comes.â
You blink back the tears, still looking at your hands, afraid to face Luke. His hand comes to take a soft hold of your chin, lifting it lightly. You still avert your eyes, not wanting to look at him.Â
âY/N, please look at me.â
You finally do look at him, the pleading in his voice snaking its way into your heart and forcing you to meet his eyes. When your eyes lock with his, you feel yourself sink into his gaze.Â
âIâm not going to leave you behind. Ever.â
âLuke, you donât have to always think of me. You have to think about yourself, about your dreams. Iâm not letting you stop everything because of me.â
âAnd I wonât. But Iâm not leaving you behind either. You have to understand that. I canât leave you behind because youâre the one who keeps me going, the one who inspires me to get out of here and search for something better. And I wonât leave you behind because I love you, Iâve loved you since we were children, and Iâll continue loving you until weâre both old and gray.â
You really donât know what to say. Youâve loved Luke for as long as you can remember, the once childish crush growing into something mature and so real as the years passed. Heâd been your first kiss when you two were children, and, unbeknownst to him, your only kiss. So to have him say all this to you leaves you nothing short of wordless.Â
âLuke, I...I donât know what to say.â
His hand moves from your chin to cup your face, his thumb grazing your cheek to wipe away a stray tear.Â
âYou donât have to say anything, Y/N. I just need you to know that you can always count on me. Today, tomorrow, always.â
Before second guessing what youâre doing, you lean in to connect your lips with his. His lips instantly respond. At first you kiss him the way you did all those years ago: innocent and sweet. But soon, the years of love reflect themselves on the kiss.
You grab a hold of his face, bringing him closer to you. His hands drop to take a hold of your waist, staying there for a second until you make the move to inch closer to him. At your action, he pulls you closer to him, his fingers digging slightly into your waist. You let out a small moan at the sensation, one thatâs mimicked by his own.Â
At the sound of Lukeâs name, you pull away.Â
âLuke! I need your help with something!â Itâs Owen who calls him.Â
âIâll be right there!â Luke answers.Â
Then he turns to look at you, the biggest smile youâd ever seen adorns his face. Youâre smiling as well, your lips tingling. A small laugh escapes you as the two of you continue to stare at each other, not really knowing what to say.Â
You lean in to give him a quick kiss on his lips, pulling back before he pulls you in again. And when you look at his eyes again, all you see is pure adoration.Â
A passing traveler had once described to you what you had a hard time imagining: the ocean. So much water in one place, you couldnât fathom. What shocked you the most was his description of the ocean being blue. The most beautiful blue, you remember him saying. Youâd hope to see it yourself one day. However, you know that his words couldnât be true. The most beautiful blue youâd ever and will ever see is the shade of Lukeâs eyes.Â
âLuke!â Owen calls again.Â
âJust a minute! Iâm just saying goodbye to Y/N,â Luke says, standing up and extending his hand to help you up. You take it and stand up, dusting your pants of sand.Â
âOh, then take your time!â
You laugh at Owenâs words. Luke jokingly rolls his eyes, a laugh of his own filling your ears.Â
âHere, Iâll walk you home.â
âNo, Luke, Iâm fine. Owen needs you,â you say.Â
âYou heard what he said. Iâm taking my time.â
You laugh again, taking a hold of Lukeâs arm. The two of you begin the walk to your home. As the two of you walk under the night sky, the light of the moons lighting your way, your conversation fills the air. The two of you tease and laugh, happiness evident. You arrive in front of your home, where Luke promises to see you first thing in the morning, and your chest fills with such beautiful warmth at the anticipation.Â
When Luke kisses you goodnight before jogging his way back home, you know that now every morning, youâll have a fourth constant, the one that will always outweigh the other three: love.

â
Sitting in a dinner hall in a table full of tipsy clones was not what you imagined youâd be doing when General Skywalker told you to pack your bag for the mission this morning. But here you are, in your home planet, eating delicacies youâd only dreamt of as a child.Â
Music bounces off the walls, not loud enough to hurt your ears, but definitely loud enough to make it hard to think. You look around, feeling a bit overwhelmed with the setting you are in. Usually, you wouldnât be attending these sorts of things; your position as an engineer for the 501st allowed you to stand on the sidelines, focus on your job and nothing more. But this is a special mission. The meeting General Skywalker has is with none other than the head of foreign operations of your home world Elzu.Â
The small planet could have been as beautiful as Naboo, were it not for the exploitation of natural resources by the government. By the time Elzu joined the Republic, it was drastically divided. Those who had been part of the group exploiting the resources are still the ones in power now. The rest are left to fend for themselves, many immigrating to other planets in search of a better livelihood. Your parents were part of the latter group, taking you and your siblings to Coruscant when you were about 9 years old. Thanks to their sacrifice and hard work, you now have the job you have.Â
So when General Skywalker asked if youâd be willing to join him and the 501st to the meeting as a point person for all things Elzu, you were hesitant. Elzu held many bittersweet memories, and youâd only been back a handful of times since your family had left all those years ago. General Skywalker had sensed your hesitation, and asked if instead you could help by giving him a list of the customs of the planet. However, as you were writing the list, you thought back to all the ways Skywalker and the 501st had helped you get to where you are, and knew that the least you could do was help with the trip in person. Though now that youâre here, youâre starting to wish youâd just stuck to the list.Â
The boisterous laugh of Fives rips you from your thoughts. You blink a few times in an attempt to refocus on the present. You turn to look at Fives, whoâs sitting at your table, in an attempt to see what heâs laughing at. When your eyes travel around the other clones in your table and settle on a rather flustered looking Dogma, you have an idea of what Fiveâs source of entertainment currently is.Â
In spite of your otherwise uncomfortable feelings, you canât help but smile. It was rare that the clones of the 501st were so at ease while on a mission. Seeing them all gathered in the main dinner hall enjoying good food made you happy, especially knowing this type of mission would be one of a kind.Â
The eating and socializing continues, and though you converse with the clones around you, you mostly stay quiet. After deciding youâd had enough to eat, you excuse yourself and walk out of the dinner hall.Â
You hate to admit it, but the palace youâre currently in is gorgeous. The large and intricate structure was built from different Elzian resources, Elzian marble being the most predominant. As you mindlessly walk down the hallway, you stay close to the wall, the smooth walls leaving a cool sensation on your fingertips. You keep walking around, not really knowing where you intend on going. That is, until you spot a sliver of the night sky.Â
Your feet make their way to the landing deck on its own. It isnât until you feel the cool night breeze on your skin that you realize just how hot it is inside. Letting out a breath you didnât know you were holding, you step out onto the seemingly unused landing deck. You almost gasp at the sight; the height of the deck makes you feel as if youâre in the sky.Â
If there was one thing youâd always miss most about Elzu, itâs the sky. Itâs easy to forget that thereâs even a sky in Coruscant due to the endless bustle of traffic. But that isnât the case here. No, here, the sky is clear, the stars densely decorating it to look like the most royal of sparkling gowns.Â
You take a seat directly on the landing deck, sprawling your legs out in front of you and placing your hands on the durasteel ground. Maker, you can almost reach out and touch the stars, pick them like the fruit of a tree, with how close they seem.Â
âBeautiful night.â
If you werenât sitting, you would have jumped at the sudden voice behind you. However, as the initial shock leaves you, you recognize the voice, a deep honey voice you never get tired of hearing.Â
Footsteps approach you, and you can feel them under your palms. They stop as two white and blue armored legs appear next to you. Your eyes follow the legs up to their ownerâs face, the brown skin and blonde hair of your favorite person making the feeling of a thousand pairs of wings erupt in your stomach.Â
âRex.â
âHow are you, nau?â
At the sound of his tone, you know he can tell youâre not feeling your best. You also know thereâs no point in trying to convince him otherwise.Â
âIâm doing okay, given the circumstances,â you say.Â
Lightly dropping his helmet to his side, he takes a seat next to you. You look at him as he mimics the way youâre sitting, legs spread out in front of him, hands on either side of him. And honestly, you canât help but admire just how beautiful he looks.Â
Your eyes move from where you see his legs brushing your own, landing instead on his face. You find him looking at you, concern etched onto his features.Â
âYou know how I feel about this place, Rex. It doesnât hold the best memories,â you finally say.Â
âI know,â he simply says.Â
He knows. Of course he knows. He knows because heâs been by your side when youâve had a few too many drinks at 79âs and spilled all about your childhood hardships. He knows because heâs been by your side when you try to discreetly get information on how the less fortunate of Elzu are holding up with the war. He knows because heâs always been there, with you.
Relief washes over you when you realize you donât have to explain all the feelings caused by being on Elzu. Bringing up your legs to hug them to your chest, you look up at the sky again, the smile from earlier returning.Â
âHave you ever heard of shooting stars?â
âShooting stars?â At his question, you nod. âI havenât, nau.â
âWell youâre in for a treat tonight.â
His brow raises, and a faint smile paints his face. âIs that right?â
You nod again. âElzu is known for its shooting stars, sometimes called flying stars. The people of Elzu believe theyâre the souls of beings who have passed all around the galaxy as they make their way to their final resting spot. Legend has it they grant wishes.â
Rex laughs lightly, not in a mocking way, but rather in a surprised way. For someone whoâs usually surrounded by so many facts, Rex doesnât expect you to be so invested in old tales.Â
âHey, Iâm being serious!â you say, a laugh coming out of you as well. âI used to make a wish every night when I was a kid.â
Rex wonât ask what you wished, you know that. He doesnât want to impose, pour salt on the wound that is already being constantly poked at while being here in Elzu. But either way, you continue, part of you needing to tell him what you wished for all those years ago.Â
âIâd initially wish for childish things; a new toy or the chance to taste one of those many pastries they have inside. But then the guilt would creep in, and instead Iâd wish for the star to bring my family and I stability. Not riches, those werenât necessary, just stability. Food on the table, a roof over our heads, shoes on our feet. And the next night Iâd do the same again: wish for something childish then scrap it for a worthwhile wish.â
As you finish, you donât know what you expect Rex to say. You donât know if you even expect him to say anything. And initially he doesnât, he sits there next to you in silence looking up at the same sky youâd stare at endlessly as a child.Â
âCaâtra.â
You turn to look at him, the word foreign to your ears. For the most part, you knew the phrases of his native Mandoâa heâd speak around you. Nau, for example, was what he called you, a nickname of sorts. Heâs told you it means light, a nod to the way you two initially met during a blackout on a ship youâd been working on, a flashlight in hand as you bumped in face first to his chest. But caâtra you didnât know, so you waited for him to continue.Â
âIt means ânight skyâ,â he explains, and you make a mental note to add that to the list of Mandoâa words you have written on your data pad. âI often gazed up at the night sky back in Kamino growing up. It brought me calm whenever Iâd feel...uneasy.â
âCaâtra.â You test the word in your mouth, hoping you pronounced it correctly. At his smile and nod, your heart blooms with pride.Â
âAnd though we have no word for shooting star, we do have kaâra, which means stars.âÂ
Another word to add to the list, you think.Â
Your eyes go back to the sky, and almost as if on queue, you see the flash of light that filled you with hope as a child.Â
âLook! A shooting star! Make a wish,â you say, closing your eyes to mentally make your own. You wish for progress in the war with as little casualties as possible, you wish for his safety. A whisper of a thought adds another part to the wish: I wish for Rex to stay by my side.Â
You open your eyes slowly, glancing over at Rex to see if heâs done with his wish. Only, you donât find him with his eyes closed as youâd had them. Heâs not even looking up at the sky. No, heâs looking at you.Â
For a split second, you forget how to breathe at the sight of his beautiful eyes on you. Taking a small breath, you speak.Â
âDid you make a wish?â You donât intend for your voice to be a whisper, but with the way heâs looking at you, you donât manage anything else.Â
Rex nods. âYes, I did.â
You want to ask what it is, but know that the way wishes come true is by keeping them to yourself.Â
âWell,â you say, your hand seemingly moving on its own will as it lands on top of his. âI hope your wish comes true.â
âI hope so too,â he responds.Â
You turn back to look at the sky, your hand still on Rexâs. And maybe itâs the glass of Elzian wine you drank, or the fact that youâre looking up at the night sky you spent your whole childhood wishing under, or even the drunken state Rex causes you to be in regardless of the amount of alcohol in your system, but you think you know what Rex wished for. Well, you hope you know what he wished for.Â
As if to put your mind at ease and to confirm your thoughts all at once, Rex moves his hand so that heâs now holding yours. The cool feeling of the durasteel you both are sitting on makes for a sharp contrast to just how warm his hand feels on your own. Before you have time to process his actions, he hits you with another jolt of electricity when he softly squeezes your hand. Â
You donât have to look at him to know heâs smiling, because youâre smiling too. Youâre smiling the smile that only appears whenever Rex is with you, by your side, safe.Â
And as the two of you sit under the night sky, you donât feel the guilt youâd expected to feel at the last addition to your wish. Itâs a bit selfish, you admit, wishing for something exclusively for you. But you donât, canât feel guilt when all you feel is warm, kind love with Rex by your side.Â
When the next shooting star paints the sky, you once again wish for Rex to stay by your side, nothing more, nothing less.

Hello Chas! Can I request a pairing (I don't mind who, though I would possibly prefer Star Wars)? A bit about myself: I am incredibly quiet and shy, and really like having discussions about many things and just learning in general. I am fairly active and love the outdoors. I get overwhelmed easily and will probably need someone to distract me in someway from those things. I wear glasses and have forgotten them in weird places before.
Hey Aro! So happy you asked for a ship, love! đđ„°
I ship you with Fox!
You donât like going out much, instead preferring to stay home and going through your data pad in search of learning something new. But at the insistence of your friends, and a relatively stressful day at work, you succumb to the invitation of going out to 79âs one night. And thank the stars you did, because thatâs when you lay eyes on him.
You are much too shy to approach him, instead content to simply see him from afar. Thankfully you donât have to make the move. At the sight of the clone commander approaching your table, your nerves get the better of you, and you look at anywhere but at him.
He introduces himself as Commander Fox. Initially you think heâs there to talk to one of your friends, but to your surprise, heâs looking at you the whole time he speaking. Your friends see the curiosity in your eyes, and excuse themselves from the table to give you two some space.
In the beginning, you admit, there is an awkward silence. Youâre much too shy to start talking to him, especially with how his hazel eyes seem to look at you as if he already knows you. Itâs when he starts to ask about what you rather be doing than be here at 79âs that he gets you talking.
And talk you do.
In fact, you talk all night, and soon (too soon for your liking), the night is over. But you promise to meet again the next week, and you always keep your promises. Soon, the two of you are inseparable. He picks up on your mannerisms, and you on his.
Whenever heâs at your place after a mission, you feel more whole, more complete. Heâll always be there when you need him to be. Whether itâs for help looking for your glasses (multiple times a day) or to listen to you excitedly talk about the latest topic youâve learned or to simply hold you after an especially hard day, Fox is always there.
Itâs on one of those hard days that you realize something.
You get him from your job, and to say you feel overwhelmed is putting it lightly. You donât feel valued at your job, and though you keep putting your best to your work, it seems that the work is never-ending. Fox is already in your apartment when you arrive (youâd given him a spare key, and heâs definitely been putting it to good use).
Youâre happy to see him, as you always are, but you also donât want to talk about just how down you feel. But Fox knows you, and with one look at your face, heâs setting down the data pad heâd been holding and embraces you. You sigh, your body giving into the warmth of his own. His hands play with your hair, fingers running through it, and Maker the amount of serotonin that flows through your body due to the sensation should be illegal.
His lips place a soft kiss on your forehead and you donât even realize a few stray tears have fallen down your face until he wipes them away. He doesnât say anything, he doesnât need to. But as he looks at you the same way he did that night at 79âs, you know Fox knows you better than anyone does, he always has. And honestly, you wouldnât have it any other way.

*raises hand* maâam may I please request a pairing?? about me: half-Latina, athletic/former dancer, in need of stimulation 24/7, youngest child, intellectual but also kinda (read: very) clueless, always listening to music, deep thinker, loves to laugh, anxiety & isolationism are good friends of mine, craves soft things, honorable bad boys are *sigh*
Cristina! Iâm so glad you asked for a ship đą and I love the description you gave!
I ship you with Han Solo!
You met the literal epitome of honorable bad boy after taking up a few jobs at the Mos Eisely cantina. Heâs no stranger to the dimly lit tavern, and one night after you finish your shift early, you find yourself unwinding with a few drinks. Itâs when the band plays the lively music you grew up hearing and you make your way to the sad excuse of a dance floor that Han canât help but stare.
You move to the music as if you have it memorized. Itâs second nature to you, dancing for as long as you can remember. The youngest in your family, you were often able to pick up different parts of your culture from those around you. The one that stuck to you most was dancing.
The few drinks you took to unwind take its toll on you, because as you open your eyes to find chocolate orbs staring back, you smile. And that smile is what has Han up from his seat and walking towards you.
From this, youâve learned that as smooth as Han is with his words, his dancing doesnât necessarily follow suit. Since that night, Han never stops dancing with you when he has the chance, the action bringing a warm feeling to your chest. Sometimes you canât help but laugh at how lost he seems to be. But heâll keep making a fool out of himself on the dance floor just to hear you laugh.
When you decide to travel the galaxy with him, he, to your surprise, has a music player installed to the Falcon. Han insists he always had it, but when you point out the obviously newer state itâs in compared to the rest of the ship, all he does is give you a smile to confirm your suspicions.
Later, when he meets Luke, Leia, and the Rebellion, he tells you heâll join them only if you want to. At the gleam of hope in his eyes, hope for something better, you instantly say yes. Youâre initially afraid to be a bother to the crew; they all know so much, they all seem to have their specific purpose. When Han finds you in your cot, the anxiety of not being good enough to help the Rebellion clouding your thoughts, his heart feels heavy. He assures you that the main reason he wants to help the Rebellion is to ensure a better life for you together. His words warm your heart more than the suns on Tatooine ever could, and you hug him close to you, thanking the stars for having him in your life.
Your worry is soon scrapped, as you find your immense knowledge of the history of different planets is soon put to use in the Rebellion. You love to learn, and soon pick up many things around the Rebel base. When youâre not deep in thoughtful conversations with those around you, Han will find you in the small kitchen of either the base or the Falcon (both having working ovens secretly installed by Han himself). Youâll bake your worries away, and Han is always excited to taste your newest creation. Though he loves each one, he knows nothing is quite as sweet as the taste of your lips on his.

can i request a star wars ship for your 100 celebration? (you can pick from any trilogy!) i am a ENTP-T straight female. iâm about 5â2â and i have straight brown hair. i play softball and field hockey. i am witty, stubborn, artistic, and an original. i love listening to music and sketching from time to time. i love athletic wear, but i love to dress nice. i love to read and binge netflix in my free time. thank you lovely! :))
Hey Sarah! Thank you for requesting! đ„°
I ship you with Poe Dameron! Your witty personality is what first caught his attention. You two are both Resistance pilots, and after seeing you around the base many times, Poe took the initiative to get to know you better!
You are both stubborn, which can cause some conflict at times, but it also letâs you two understand each other when others might not. Being part of the Resistance is no easy task, but youâre definitely cut out for the job. Not only are your piloting skills up to par with Poeâs (or better youâd argue, since you often need less fixings to your X-Wing than he does), but youâre also great at squadron tactics and hand to hand combat.
On the rare occasion that you have free time, Poe will find you in a a hidden nook in the base, either laying down with some soft music playing, or enjoying a nice read on your data pad. When he finds you, Poe will either join you in your moment of relaxation, laying his head on your lap while casually going through some documents on his own data pad. When he has nothing on his agenda, heâll just lay there and close his eyes, letting the music youâre playing or the simple hum of the conversations close to you lull him to sleep.
Honestly, you never get tired of looking at Poe. His smile warms your heart and brings a smile to your face every time. Youâll sketch him from time to time, always focusing on emphasizing the soft hair you love rubbing your hands through.
You two complement each other so much. You challenge one another to the point that no one else has, but itâs always in a way that makes each of you a better version of yourself. He knows youâre curious to learn, and heâs always looking forward to talking to you about anything new he found on a mission. Overall, you and Poe make a great team, lifting each other up and always being there for each other when you need it. Not to mention, heâs a great hugger and an even greater kisser ;)
