Summary: all anniversaries are not necessarily happy ones
Twelve years today.
It seemed a lifetime. Of training and arguments, laughter and pain. Of his stubborn reluctance to accept me and my unwavering belief that it was meant to be.
Of Bandomeer and last-minute apprenticeships.
Of Melida/Daan and mistakes, Telos and choices.
Then the shattered cup was remade; we became more than distant Master and pathetic Padawan. We became family.
I learned to relax into dry wit, he into smiles.
Inseparable, balanced, loved.
Until….
"I take Anakin Skywalker as my Padawan Learner."
Twelve years gone in a single breath.
Now I was the Unchosen one.
Again.
Happy anniversary, Master.
