Don't leave me

      Don't leave me!

Thank you AB for giving me the idea for this story.

       Luv you all.

      

Background: Han and Leia aren't married. Luke and Leia have already announced their family lineage. They share an apartment, because they are brother and sister. In this story Luke's best friend (Raque)'s sister was Bria Tharen.

          "My, my someone is looking happy." Luke Skywalker teased, coming into his sister's bedroom.

        Leia stuck her tongue out at him. "It is just that… Han asked me to go out with him tonight."

      "Where are you going?"

      "The nerf-herder wants it to be a surprise."

      "When?"

       "1800 hours, he will pick me up."

       "It is 1600 hours now." Luke said, looking at his chronometer.

       "What?!" Leia exclaimed jumping from the bed. "I must have been daydreaming for 3 hours."

     "So Han called about an hour after I left?"

     "Yup. I think he wanted to wait until Mr. Overprotective brother was gone." Leia teased.

      "Han knows I approve of your relationship, just as long as he doesn't hurt my sister."

    "I was teasing." Leia said, wrapping her arms around her brother's waist.

     "Leia, what is the matter." Luke asked, picking up on Leia's uneasiness.

    "Nothing." Leia lied.

   "Leia." Luke said, firmly.

    Leia sighed, it would be a relief to get it off of her chest. Plus, maybe Luke could help her understand things.

     "I am not good enough for Han."

     "Leia!" Luke said. "Yes you are."

  "No I am not. Marrying…. Or just even dating me for longer will just trap him into this diplomacy stuff. I am no good at love poetry, or courtship rituals."

    "DO you love him?" Luke asked quietly.

   "Heart and soul."

   "Then you deserve him and are good enough for him. Besides, let it be his choice. He is with you, and that means he doesn't mind the small pitfalls of being with you." Luke said.

       "I wish my mind accepted it that easy." Leia said, semi-bitterly. "I have been trying to convince myself of that for a long while."

    "Go on this date tonight, and let your heart guide you."

    Leia looked in her brother's eyes and saw warmth and truth there and love. "Leia, whatever happens, I love you." Luke said. "This heart, mind, and ear are yours."

       "Thank you Luke."  Leia was filled with a new resolve. She was going to, as Luke said let her heart guide her.

      "Now, Sister the great, I think it is time for you to get ready for your date. You need me, holler." Luke said.
