A/N This takes places towards the beginning of RotS. It is a 3rd Person POV look at Padme's thoughts about Anakin. AU where he doesn't go to the Darkside. My first song fic. Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars or the song Ours. George Lucas and Taylor Swift do. Please review!
Elevator buttons and morning air
Strangers' silence makes me want to take the stairs
All she could think about anymore was him and vastly more exciting he was than her fellow politicians
If you were here we'd laugh about their vacant stares
But right now my time is theirs
He knew how to make her laugh with that devilish smirk of his, but she was stuck with the Senators until he returned from the front lines.
Seems like there's always someone who disapproves
They'll judge it like they know about me and you
Why did there have to be stupid class distinctions, and rules about you can and cannot love?
And the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do
The jury's out, my choice is you
She didn't care if they knew anymore. She was ready to tell the whole galaxy that he was hers and she was his.
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
He told her whenever she wanted to announce their marriage, he was ready for it.
The stakes are high,
Every day, casualties at the front increased.
The water's rough
And rumors of his death came on a daily basis.
But this love is ours
But, nothing stopped him from coming home.
You never know what people have up their sleeves
Ghosts from your past going to jump out at me
She knew there were plenty of people willing to kill him on sight. She knew the risks of revealing their relationship.
Lurking in the shadows with their lip gloss smiles
But I don't care 'cause right now you're mine
And all those screaming fan girls, well they would just have to deal with the fact that she laid claim on him long ago. And she wasn't giving him up anytime soon.
And you'll say
Don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
He told her not to worry about him in battle. As long as there was a wife to return to, he would come home.
The stakes are high,
Every time she saw him he had a dozen new scars.
The water's rough
And the meetings in the Senate were exhausting.
But this love is ours
But nothing could stop their love.
And it's not theirs to speculate
If it's wrong and
She was ready for the galaxy to know, and she didn't care what it said on the Holonet.
Your hands are tough
But they are where mine belong and
She knew his past, but could love no one else.
I'll fight their doubt and give you faith
With this song for you
She would defend her husband at all costs. If he was ready, they would announce their marriage of four years.
'Cause I love the gap between your teeth
And I love the riddles that you speak
She loved all his imperfections. His arrogance, his rebellious streak, the way he never looked back, the words whispered for only her to hear.
And any snide remarks from my father about your tattoos will be ignored
'Cause my heart is yours
She knew what her father would say. He would taunt her husband because of his past. Because of what he was born to. But nothing would change the way she loved him with every inch of her being.
So don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
They would tell the universe that they shared a love that few could find and no one would stop them. Not the Council. Not the Chancellor.
Don't you worry your pretty little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
But they can't take what's ours
So, he will probably be expelled. So, she will probably be disbarred. Nothing would stand in their way.
They can't take what's ours
Nothing could stop their love.
The stakes are high,
So what if he was a slave turned Jedi.
The water's rough
So what if she was a Queen turned Senator.
But this love is ours
Epilogue: One week ago, after the rescue of Chancellor Palpatine, it was announced that Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padme Amidala Skywalker were married four years prior at the beginning of the Clone Wars. A few days later, Master Skywalker assisted in the arrest of the Chancellor, otherwise known as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. The Jedi Order usually expels those who break their code, in Skywalker's case forming an attachment, but because in view of recent events they are changing their code. Thus, for the time being, he will remain a Jedi Knight. And his wife will remain Senator for the next few months until she takes maternity leave. However, they are not revealing the gender of the child as they want it to be a surprise. Best wishes to all, and May the Force be with you.
