Heeey doods! This has been an idea that's been bouncing around my head for a while and ya'll know that I love Taylor Swift...(most of my Clone Wars stories are named after her songs...) and then I decided, "What the heck, just write song fics already!" But the thing is, I know that I'm not really supposed to be writing song fics but I actually added my own little touches to the songs so I don't think that's bad...but I will make a disclaimer-The Speak Now album does NOT belong to me, original songs belong to the one and only TAYLOR SWIFT. There. Now...I hope ya'll enjoy! Oh and another thing-I'll be switching around pairings in these chapters every once in a while just to make things interesting...these song fics will NOT be connected to each other. Now...enjoy and please review and give feedback! :D
Song 1. Mine
Padmé Admidala—
You were a slave working part-time fixing cables, I left a large planet, and never looked back. I was at flight risk with a fear of falling wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts.
I smiled, looking out at the Coruscant lights shine over the streets. In the middle of war, it was so hard to find peace. I traced the pillars of the stairwell in my apartment and let out a small laugh. Why did I feel so happy, then?
Today was Anakin and my wedding anniversary, and I knew that for once, he would finally be coming home for a short time before he's off to another long battle to command troops. It was such a strange thing for me that I was still in love with that small boy that I met back on Tatooine who was now a fully grown man who had the potential of being one of the best Jedi Knights in the galaxy.
That last part didn't matter much to me, though. Just the fact of Anakin staying with me mattered most.
I say, can you believe it? As we're lying on the couch…that moment I can see it, yes, yes…I can see it now!
Almost right on time, Anakin bursts through the door, a happy smile on his face and he picks me up. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he spins me around. "Happy anniversary, Padmé." He whispers in my ear.
"I thought you'd forget." I said teasingly.
"Now, would I be a good husband if I did?" He asked me and we walked down to the couch. I sat down and waited patiently for him to join me. Instead, Anakin lays himself out and rests his head on my lap. I giggled and he whispers, "I'm going to enjoy myself while it lasts."
I brushed away some of his hair and replied, "Then enjoy yourself."
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water? You put your arm around me for the first time…you made a rebel of a proper man's clever daughter. You are the best thing that's ever been mine!
I smiled and whispered, "Do you remember our wedding day?"
Anakin smirked and stroke my face. "How can I forget?" I closed my eyes at his touch and said, "We were married near the lake…"
"And everything was perfect." Anakin adds quietly. "Yes." I replied. "That was the best day of our lives…"
Flash forward and we're taking on the galaxy together and there's a drawer of my things at your place. You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded. You say that we'll never make my parent's mistakes.
No matter how distinguished my family was, my parents were never quite…together. They were both too busy trying to raise me up to actually interact with each other. I knew that there was such thing as love, but I never thought I would fall into it until I met Anakin.
But we've got things to do, we got nothing figured out. When it was hard to take, yes, yes, this is what I thought about! Do you remember we were sitting there by the water? You put your arm around me for the first time…you made a rebel of a proper's man clever daughter. You are the best thing that's ever been mine!
It was frustrating sometimes, how Anakin was constantly fighting in the war and I was constantly making speeches and trying to fight off a political war of my own. But I knew that whenever we were both about to break, we would think about each other.
That was the best thing about our love…we would always be together. That much, I believed in.
Do you remember all of the flowers in the water? You saw me start to believe for the first time. You made a rebel of a proper man's clever daughter. You are the best thing that's ever been mine!
My hands began to move towards a hidden pocket in the hem of my dress and I picked up a holo-pad. Anakin smiles and turns it on. A blue, hazy image of Anakin and me getting married projected in front of us and I nestled my face into his neck. Flowers were dotting the water, and his lips were pressed against mine in the image. It was hard not to miss the happiness that was practically radiating between us.
And I remember that fight, 2:30 am, when everything was slipping right out of our hands and I ran out crying but you followed me out into the street.
Of course, like every married couple, the first couple days were rough for us. There was one fight that we had one night and it was the kind of fight that included screaming, crying, and of course, running out of the building.
It was a while ago, actually, but I couldn't remember much of anything. I suppose it was too silly for me now to reminisce the actual point. All I could recollect, however, was that I was running out of the apartment, tears streaming down my face and fury spinning out of control.
Braced myself for the goodbye, 'cause that's all I've ever known. And you took me by surprise, you said "I'll never leave you alone…" And you said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water, and every time I look at you, it's like the first time. I fell in love with a proper man's clever daughter. You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
I would never forget Anakin's words to me that night, though. He had grabbed me by the wrist and held me back and whispered that he would always stay by me. Tears had welled up in my eyes and I was grateful for having the best husband that there possibly could be.
"I still remember." Anakin whispers out loud and I smiled, looking down at him.
Hold on, make it last. Hold on, never look back! You made a rebel of a proper man's clever daughter, you are the best thing that's ever been mine! Yes, yes, do you believe it?
"Can you believe it, Anakin?" I asked quietly. Anakin smiled and whispers, "Of course I can, Padmé. I always have."
Yes, yes, we're gonna make it now! Yes, yes, I can see it. Yes, yes, I can see it now…
I smiled and pressed my soft lips against his. Anakin slid his hand down to mine and we both stayed like that.
He is and he always will be the best thing that's ever been mine.
