Shared loss

Ahsoka's P.O.V.

I watched him, as he sat in The room of Thousand Fountains. Wait… since when my Master came here? Oh, I knew the reason.

Obi-wan was dead.

It wasn't like that I wasn't grieving. I was, but Anakin… Obi-wan was like a father to him, a father he has never had, as far as I know. And Obi-wan also treated him like a brother, a son. I wish someday I was someone like that for my Master, too. Or maybe I already was? I'd never tell that out loud, but for me Anakin was like an older brother; he protected me, cared for me, sometimes shouted if it was necessary. But as much as he was annoying, I loved him for that.

Now, it was my time to be there, for him.

I slowly walked up to the fountain, and sat beside him. We didn't say anything at first, just enjoyed each other presence in the Force. Finally, I heard Anakin whisper:

-I didn't even thank him, for what he did for me… and now he's gone…- he was trying to hold back tears. My eyes also started to water up at the mention of his death.

-He was proud of you, Master- I touched his flesh hand- he is proud of you…- I added, because we both knew, that Obi-wan was there, somewhere, and he was watching us, finally at peace.

Anakin took my small hand in his big one and squeezed it.

-You're a good padawan, Snips- he said, smiling a little, and I returned it- I hope Obi-wan was proud of me as much as I'm proud of you…

-You're…proud of me?- I asked quietly. I never thought that I'd hear that from him.

Anakin nodded. I thought for a second, then carefully wrapped my arms around him. At first he was still, then I felt his strong arms also hugging me tightly.

-How I could not be proud of you?- Anakin said, resting his chin on the top of my head- you are not only my padawan, but my little sister…

-Thank you…for everything- I whispered into his chest, tightening my grip on him.

And we sat there, thinking about the future, and trying to forgot the past.
