( Finally rewriting the first two chapters, gosh I was bad lol I'll be honest- it sucked. )

The hallways in the Jedi Temple were long and narrow, as the echoing footsteps were being tapped by the early night. It's widen windows showed the beauty of the Coursant's city lights and stars. The Temple's floor was covered by carpet, while the bright lights were hovering over Ahsoka Tano. She was carrying a duffle bag, while using the two straps over her shoulders in a form of a backpack. She stopped for a moment and ajusted the duffle bag on her bare back. Her eyes looked down to the floor fusterated.

She grunted to herself, " I can't believe this is still happening."

Earlier that day, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka sitting on the edge of the Twlight alongside Artoo. Her diamonded pattern leggings swung back and forth in return. The Duo were joking in their down time, about how many droids they destroyed at that mission. It was a small game they had of course, but it build the strong force bond to this day. Anakin would smile and laugh, as one of his gloved hands would run back his dirty blond locks. At the end of each rotation, it was worth the laughs caused by Ahsoka that always had its brighter sides despite of the war. He absolutely adored being alongside his Padawan.

The party ended when Obi Wan Kenobi informed Ahsoka, "You will be staying at Anakin's complex now." The look of horror and shock contrast on her face and buried her blushed face/ lekku in then. A gloved hand patted on the top of her head, disarming the female Togruta from her overwhelming emotions.

Anakin laughed, " Oh come on, I know you would love it to as well as me. How bad can it be?" He playfully punched her arm in the process. His words echoed and haunted Ahsoka's mind to now. She could still picture his stupid smirk by that smart comment.

Back to reality, Ahsoka looked up from the floor and saw Anakin leaning against the wall. He was gazing out to the window deep in thought, but turned and gave her a widen smirk. She rolled her eyes and continued walking towards him— knowing that Anakin was to 'pick her up' at that moment. As Ahsoka came closer to him, she could smell the over-powering muscular cologne that came from Anakin. His hair was half damp and dried, letting her know that he just showered earlier. He wore a worn out grey short-sleeved shirt; and black pajama bottoms that cuffed around his pale ankles... barefooted. Interesting.

He pushed himself off the wall and smiled, " Are you ready Snips?"

"As always Master! But... You didn't have to come down to get me. I can handle going up your complex—" Ahsoka exclaimed to Anakin. She felt her heart race by his smile.

" I wanted to come and get you. Instead, we met half way with each other so that I guess we're even." Anakin interrupted suddenly. He circled around beside her.

" D-Definitely."

The two walked up the long narrow hallway and curved over to the elevators. Anakin's cologne was still over powering Ahsoka's nose, making her overwhelmed and dizzy. Her head was pounding into a headache, so there wasn't much of a conversation. Yet... He just smelled so good.

It was the little things like this that made it hard for Ahsoka. She remembered having a stupid crush on her Master since day one. Of course, Ahsoka always thought it would eventually die out sooner or later. She was confused if it was admiration... Or something else. It stirred many emotions underneath her heart, twisting every feeling into sorts of directions. She always pushed the feelings to the back of her mind in the end. Hoping that it would never resurface again for him.

However, it's good to admire people, but Ahsoka was told a motto ' Purpose before Feelings' from Anakin. Those were two different things, but reminding her about the ' Dangerous Attachments ' was always the crucial result of it. Horrible flashbacks reminded her of Lux Boneri, making her face sicken for a moment.

" Ahsoka... You seem troubled? "

" Not at all Master. Why are you asking?"

" Just making sure." Anakin whispered to himself shorty. Ahsoka laughed softy to his quick remarks.

It was obvious that he didn't buy her lie, so what could she tell him? That she had a huge lame liking to him? Ahsoka tried to avoid Anakin's sicken face then— she still wanted to treasure their friendship at the least. Yes, it is forbidden to form any attachment, but why is it so bad to be compassionate towards others. Ahsoka continued to think about theses things over and over, and lost her touch with reality.

" Ahsoka...Ahsoka!" He broke through her thoughts.

The Padawan's eyes widen as she fell headfirst aiming towards the wall. The duffle bag on Ahsoka's back made her balance all at once. It fell behind her back and unto the side of both of them; it made a loud 'thud' that echoed through the Temple halls. She gave a shaken sound from the back of her throat, as Anakin shot his golden mechanic hand to grasp her waist. He loudly slammed his bare hand against the wall for support— but slowly slid down the wall to the floor with her. Their eyes were locked on each other during the whole time. Anakin rested by her side, still holding on to the shaken up Togruta. Ahsoka's hands were both fisted on Anakin's shirt, yet exposing his defined neck and collarbone area. His hand still rested on the wall, but near Ahsoka's side darken lekku. They were both breathing hard in shock and realization of the whole situation.

Several seconds past by, yet none of them are breaking the physical contact at this moment. " ...Are you okay?" Anakin asked softy as his face leaned in closer to her own; as a close friend he was to her.

The tune of his voice was always gentle and kind, but it seemed to be much more deeper now. Despite at times, his voice would change into a general commanding in the heat of the battles. Ahsoka couldn't tell what other emotion that lingered in his velvet like voice. In their past missions, there was another frightening side of Anakin; a angered more like different person brewing inside of him. She ignored those warning signs, as the flashbacks were pushed back from her vision at Morris.

" Y-Yeah I was just shaken up a little. That's all." Her tanned hands left Anakin's shirt, slightly embarressed by his soft laugh that came in play afterwards. It suddenly sended shivers to Ahsoka's spine everytime by he laughed.

He quickly got up to his feet, and extended out his rough and strong human hand, " And that's all that matters. " Ahsoka reached her tanned-orange hand on his, as Anakin softly pulled her up to face him. A pale hand still rested on hers and crossed his mechanic hand soon after. It's golden and brassy finger tips reflected a shine, as Temple hallway lights caused that affect. "I still want you to tell me the truth though." He finished softy.

" I just remembered something unpleasant. It's nothing to worry about at. " Ahsoka laughed awkwardly, " Trust me. "

Soon after, Anakin grabbed her duffle bag over his shoulder like it weighed nothing. He winked at Ahsoka, whom tried to persuade that she can carry her own bag. In the end, she failed by the persuasion but accepted his kind offer to her. Both of them continued to start walking again to the elevators in the Temple; heading towards the dorms where the masters and apprentices stayed at.

The Complex's door slid open, allowing the duo to enter the small entry way together. Ahsoka took a deep breath to inhale the newly fresh scent, while she grabbed her duffle bag from her Master. She looked around the main dining area, that came with a metal medium-sized table in the middle the room; and two couches that curved around the small kitchen's counter top. Ahsoka's heart raced quickly when she peeked her head to the cramped hallway. There were only two rooms from down across from the other, and the bathroom was located in the middle of it.

" Just think it's a sleepover for a few months, Come on 'Soka you always spend a ridiculous amount of time with Skyguy. You got this, its not like he going to give long lectures about everything. " Ahsoka thought silently to herself. She smiled to herself as confindence beamed on her face.

Anakin walked swiftly past her, as she quickly followed beside him in the hallway. A smirk formed on his lips, and winked again at Ahsoka— in knowing that he heard her thought clearly. Her lekku and face darken at him, as she shook her head away from him. He opened the door on the left wall, and lead both of them to the dark room. The hallway light was left on, contrasting their faces by the yellowish light and total darkness. There was only a Futon-bed that rested on far left corner; that had tanned color blankets and two large pillows with it.

He looked at the opposite direction, " I will get your bed and furniture in soon as I can so..." There was a hint of embarrassment in his voice then. His mechanic hand scratch behind his neck, " I hope you don't mind this for the time being."

Ahsoka shook her head, " I don't at all. It's totally understandable Master and thank you for everything." Anakin's eyes soften and returned to meet hers as she smiled in the most honest truth. "... And I'm grateful for that." A soft 'hmp' sound came, in a form of approval from back of his lips.

He yawned quietly as his bare fingers rubbed both of his tired eyes afterwards. Anakin's somewhat-blond lashes brushed on his skin, and the faded scar that ran down his bottom lashes. His eyes were closed, as he leaned against the opened door frame soon after his sleeply justure. He crossed his arms in the process, while Ahsoka was still close beside him. She curiously looked across at Anakin and tilted her head slightly. The silka beads that were attach to her headpiece made small 'beaded' sound.

Ahsoka could tell that he hasn't been sleeping well, however in fact he rarely sleeps at all. She guessed it had been nightmares, but never knew the reason why if it could be the problem. What could he be dreaming about that caused it? Could it be visions? A Part of her felt left out from Anakin, making her heart tighten in worry and concern in the end. As it always did in the end of every situation.

" Mas... Master?" Ahsoka asked quietly as she took a soft step closer to him. No reply came from him. She asked again for him, "Anakin?" The Togruta leaned her head curiously, almost bumping herself onto Anakin. He was breathing softy, but rather tense from her sudden close presence. Several seconds pasted by, " Anakin... What's wrong?" That was repeated once again from her darken lips.

Perhaps her presence was too awkward, but was proven wrong as Anakin slowly open his eyes. Those eyes that were always pure and easy to read in several emotions seemed unreadable this time. They were calm yet dull that made it difficulty right now. His bare hand softy rose behind her front lekku, yet accidently brushing his thumb against one of it's blue strips. He finally rested his fingers to press against the silka beads from the back of her lekku. The touch sended shivers to Ahsoka's spine, making her to let a shaken sigh from her lips. She stared down to the ground, only to stare at the worn-out carpet underneath, and her hands fumbled tighten the duffle bag's handles. Her tanned fingers only fumbled on its fabric ever so anxiously.

Anakin's eyes soften as he slowly lifted the beads closer to him— gently rubbing and pressing his fingertips around every bead. His eyes were brought back to life by them, yet shinning by the hallway's light; as the blue hues and iris were exposed by it. " ... It's nothing." He softy answered but still running his fingers on the beads. " I just..."

"—Is it because of nightmares?" Ahsoka suddenly asked as she looked upon Anakin's eyes. His eyes twitched into deep shades of blue, as his fingers pressed harder on her beads. He was stirred in his spirit, according through their unshaken force bond to a 'yes' to her question. Her painted brows slightly knitted upwards in concern, " I know. "

His eyes looked the other way, somewhat ashamed by the truth behind her words. " What would you know about it? Huh?" He sounded so broken. His fingers quickly dropped the beads and went back to his side, resulting by crossing his arms in front of his chest. " How could you possibly know of how long I've been having them?" He turned his head to face the dark wall away from her.

" You know why Anakin. It's because of the Force Bond we have. " Ahsoka calmly answered as she was searching to meet his eyes. It was the inner courage that beamed in her voice that kept her concern strong for him. She ignored his pained words that was aimed at her, hopefully and believing that there were no true intentions in them. " I know just as much as you know about you and I. It's something that—"

He softy interrupted but hinted a bit of annoyance, "—You have feelings for me. Don't you Ahsoka?" Anakin's eyes returned hers, but had piercing eyes towards her. His wavy brassy over growing bangs fell forward as he breathed hard in point. Was he testing her bearing or teasing her?

" What...?" She whispered somewhat confused yet fluttered by his words. It was the truth after all, just as much both of their feelings, emotions, and current thoughts were exposed through the Force Bond. " I don't understand what you mean—"

In one quick motion, Anakin step forward to his apprentice as she stumbled a few steps back. The duffle bag was dropped to the ground right then. He continued to corner Ahsoka until her back had hit the wall. Hard. She put her hands in front of them, trying to barriate little space herself from him. Her heart began to race and throbbed painfully, despite that he wasn't giving up this point. Anakin swiftly intertwined their hands softy, and pushed them on both sides of the wall. He was somewhat cornering Ahsoka to the wall— like a bug that pinned on a glass on a card. His body was softy pressed against her own, but it wasn't rough or aggressive. His forehead softy leaned on Ahsoka's diamond pattern one, while his rosy lips touched and ghost over her darken ones. Anakin's pair of blue eyes examined her expression, seeing if she was just as curious like her thoughts her telling him.

" Then tell me what I don't understand." He whispered quietly on her lips.

Ahsoka shut her eyes tightly, only to feel his lips hovering and touching her own for several minutes. Her lips trembled against his lips badly. She hated to admit it, but the feeling on her lips was inviting to her. " It's not... It's not what you think..."

" Then explain it to me..." Anakin deeply hummed on her lips. The sound of his voice was like deep velvet, but there was a teasing kind of tone to it. He released his bare hand from hers, and gently lifted it to Ahsoka's winged cheek– tracing the border line with his thumb and index finger. She had to say at least something to him for him to stop teasing her... Or was he for real?

Ahsoka opened her heavy eyes to meet his, but the words couldn't come out from her mouth. She was frozen and stuck by it in time, as the somewhat brunette Jedi Knight swept his scar cheek along side by hers. A long pause came into play, leaving Ahsoka's widen blue eyes in shock.

" Just kidding. "

In a split second, Anakin got off from her and walked towards his room. A soft 'click' was made, as he closed his door to the room and locked it. So in leaving Ahsoka alone in her room as she slowly slid down from the wall to the ground. Her heart was racing like she had just ran a mile marathon, and so many emotions that started to linger now. Her lekkus' darken in a deep shade of blue as well with her face, it was all just so strange but all so real.

The Togruta couldn't considerate for a few moments, until she finally got up and closed her door swiftly. Ahsoka's back was against the door, as her hand cupped over mouth and blinked very rapidly. Sometime later, she changed into some plaid yoga pants and a crop top that exposed her toned abs. Ahsoka headed over to her bed quietly— laying down on the futon and thought to herself, " what on the galaxies just happened?"

Author's end notes: Again, I am changing a few things in the first two chapters. So be patient with me as I am updating and rewriting the chapters. I'm changing the senerio at months before Ahsoka leaves just to add drama in it. As always, thanks again for reading! :)
