Authors note: short one shot scene from attack of the clones a conversation between padme and Anakin.
What do you really know?
Padme was laying back her head in Anakins' lap gazing up at him. "Your so beautiful my angel" he said softly bending closer to my mouth for another kiss. I smiled at him, "Anakin, what do you really know about angels?" I asked. I was curious about him, and how he really saw me. "What do you mean?" he asked back.
"It's a simple question, what do you know about angels?" I asked again. He seemed to stop and think for a moment. "Only what I've heard, that they inhabit the moons of Iego and are the most beautiful creatures in the universe," he answered. I smiled because he had just called me beautiful.
"Why what do you know about them?" he asked suddenly curious. I thought back to what the priests had taught me as a child and said "I was always told that whenever the gods wanted to punish someone they sent an angel," since he wasn't speaking I continued, "have you ever wondered what a being like that was like?" He was looking at me funny, trying to understand my point.
"I mean imagine spending your whole life in loving worship to something that sends you to be its executioner, forever trying to walk in the light but always with one wing dipped in blood" I said softly.
Anakin frowned at my words. Perhaps they hit too close to home. "If that were true would you ever really want to see an angel?" I asked. "Well not if you put it that way, no" he said at last. I went on nonplussed by his answer.
"If I'm your angel which am I to you, executioner or loving worshipper?" I asked softly gazing deep into his eyes. He smiled a slightly sad smile. "My love I think you are both," he answered simply.
