Another drabble that I had in mind - I'll go back to requests after one more of my other drabbles.

Enjoy!


Plot – Ahsoka and Anakin were both tired. [Not Anisoka, just some brother/sister fluff.]

xXx

"Oh, good! You two are here! Just give me a minute, will you? I'll be back," Senator Amidala trilled cheerfully, darting out of the sitting room. Ahsoka and Anakin exchanged wary glances, though they both relaxed into the couch and waited patiently for Padmé to return.

They were both incredibly tired, and for good reason. They had spent the last few hours on a wild goose-chase for some good-for-nothing black marketer, only to realize that he had already been taken away to the authorities. Why Anakin and Ahsoka weren't told that in the first place, they had no idea.

Naturally, they weren't in a good mood when Senator Amidala asked them to come to a debate that was going to be held tonight. "It'll be an interesting one, I promise!" The woman had assured, and within a few minutes, Anakin had given in and agreed to the senator's arrangement, dragging Ahsoka along with him.

So, here they were, trying their best not to run out of the apartment and/or nod off. It was hard, though – the room was warm and the couch provided much comfort. Anakin had taken on the form of leaning on his left elbow, his hand resting on his cheek so that he wouldn't fall asleep all the way. On the other side of the couch, Ahsoka was staring up at the ceiling, keeping her eyes as wide open as possible. However, she was beginning to take extended blinks.

"Snips?" Anakin whispered, looking over at his apprentice. Ahsoka turned her head. "Yeah?" She mumbled.

"Don't fall asleep," Anakin replied. Ahsoka sighed and brought her hands to her face. "I wasn't going to." She said tiredly. Anakin adjusted his cheek on his hand and murmured, "Good." He waited for a few minutes, trying to fight the urge to shut his eyes. "Are you sleepy?"

There wasn't any answer. Anakin frowned and sat up, turning back to look at the Togruta. "Snips, are you – oh." He sighed. Ahsoka's eyes were closed. Her chest was rising and falling in deep, even breaths. Anakin smirked, shaking his head. "That quick, huh?" He whispered.

The sight of Ahsoka sleeping so peacefully didn't do much to help Anakin's own dilemma of weariness. It didn't take too long for him to close his eyes, either. Two minutes, he promised himself, but the second he entered sleep, he was much further in than he had anticipated.

Padmé came back out to the sitting room to find the two curled up on the couch with quiet, low breaths and eyes shut. The senator smiled and with a laugh, she walked out of the apartment. She'll just go to the debate by herself.


A/N - Because I love all of this sleepy stuff. XD Announcement - in three days, I'll be going back to school. And I'll be in high school. For the very first time. Eeek! Ten classes, no lunch period, helping out for community service hours, more tests and quizzes and homework - what are you gonna do? O.O When I go back to school, I'll try to keep up with my daily updating schedule, but no promises! Again, please just bear with me!

Reviews would be great - constructive criticism is allowed, but flames are not!
