0 BBY Yavin 4 Sabine's Pov

The room was buzzing with thoughts. Whether we should attack Scarif for the Death Star plans, or keep trying in the Senate. Whether we should enter open warfare or if we already were. If the Rebellion was over, or this was just its beginning. I wasn't thinking any of those things.

The only thing I could think about was Ezra. We had been together ever since Grand Admiral Thrawn was recalled from Lothal and we destroyed the TIE Defender factories. And in that time I knew one thing. I was in love. We weren't always together. Sometimes I had to go back to help on Mandalore and sometimes Ezra would have to go on long Jedi field trips or missions for the Rebellion. But when we were, I could feel his eyes on me, looking at me like I was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Whenever I saw that look it made my heart melt.

He was right next to me and I could feel his anger at Mon Mothma's decision to not go. From the way she talked about it, Jyn Erso was going to Scarif with the Rebellion or without it. She wouldn't be going alone. After leaving the council room I could already hear people talking about going with her. I knew Ezra couldn't resist the opportunity to strike back against the Empire like this. To make sure they could never destroy a world and all it's people with a push of a button.

I pulled him into a corner we could talk. "No," I said. "You are not going to Scarif." He just looked at me. Mout set, eyes ablaze with passion and said, "Sabine, I have to. You know what the Empire could do with a weapon that devastating. They could destroy any planet they want, and the Rebellion would be helpless to stop it. We need those plans, and I can't just stand around knowing I could do something."

I expected as much. After what happened to Lothal, Ezra had always been a little more aggressive, always ready to kill some Stormtroopers for the sake of the Rebellion. "Ezra listen. This isn't just a mission to invade an Imperial base. This isn't Mykapo or Lothal or even Mandalore. This is the Empire's biggest secret. If you get in they'll send everything they have at you. It's a suicide mission. If you go, you're not coming back!" I don't know why I screamed at him like that. I didn't mean to. But now my eyes were staring straight into his, equally as fiery and passionate. I knew I couldn't lose him, it would break me apart all over again.

He tried to talk but I cut him off. "Sabine-" "NO EZRA!! Ever since we met you've become my family! After what happened on Mandalore and I joined the Rebellion I always wondered who else I'd have to lose. I always wondered if I'd still see Kanan and Zeb after a mission or if the next supply run would be Hera's last. And I know you think you can take care of yourself, that you're gonna tell me that you'll come back. But I know that, despite how good you are, you won't come back. And I can't lose you. I've already lost too much!!"

I was crying now. In all the time I had known Ezra I could count on one hand how many times he had seen me cry. He looked at me, sadness with determination in his eyes now. He tried to talk again, "But Sabine-" This time, before I even knew what was happening, I kissed him.

I don't know how long we stayed like that, just wrapped in each other's arms in a little corner of the Great Temple, but when we let go I couldn't speak.

"Okay," I heard Ezra say after a few seconds.

"What?" I asked, momentarily forgetting why we were fighting.

"I won't go. I'll stay here on Yavin with you. I love you Sabine and you're probably right. I won't come back from this and I couldn't do that to you. I just hope that Jyn will be able to get the plans."

I didn't know what to say. I just held him tighter.

Authors Note:

So this was my first fanfiction. I hope it was good. I really hope I captured the characters well and didn't make them too OOC. Anyway I want to make this into a multi chapter fic, but I don't know how long. Suggestions welcome and please tell me ways to improve. Till next chapter.
