"Ahsoka, be a dear and grab the datapad from my quarters. Anakin and I will be in the bridge."
"Yes, master." Ahsoka quickly took off for her grandmaster's quarters, greeting members of 212Th as she walked down the halls. The 501st was due for shore leave, making Anakin and Ahsoka join Obi-wan on missions in the meantime. Ahsoka found her grandmaster's quarters quickly, previous experiences and overnight stays helping in that regard. As soon as she entered, she found the datapad that Obi-wan was talking about.
"Ow!" she hopped up and down as she held onto her shin, the box that she had knocked it into falling onto its side and spilling its contents," stupid box!" she started to put everything back into the box, trying to hurry before her master commed her, asking why she was taking so long. She stopped when she grabbed something and felt a little click under her hand. Opening her hand, she was surprised to see some sort of remote within her grasp.
"Huh?" she clicked the buttons a few more times in curiosity," wonder what this is?"
She perked up as her communicator started beeping and cringed when she answered it.
"Ahsoka, hurry it up with the datapad." Ahsoka huffed at her master's words and quickly put everything else away, but kept the remote in her hand. Something about clicking the buttons over and over against was really satisfying.
"On my way sky guy, don't get too lonely without me." There was a smirk on her face when she heard Anakin answer.
"Ha-ha, hurry it up," Ahsoka grabbed the datapad and closed the door behind her.
"Yep, I'm already on my way, I accidentally knocked over a box in his quarters, but I put everything back."
"Obi-wan said that it's fine, he'll put it away later."
"Got it, and," she walked into the bridge," I am here." She handed over the datapad when she met up with her masters, and even though she should have been paying attention, she was pleasantly surprised when she realized that she had pocketed the remote. She took it out of her pocket and started to mess with the buttons again, using it as something to just keep her hands busy. And although the remote seemed to be quite old, it virtually made almost no noise, letting her mess with it when she wanted without disturbing anyone.
"Pay attention young one." She ducked her head as Obi-wan reprimanded her without turning around to look at her. She hid the remote behind her back when Anakin glanced at her, giving him a bashful smile. Anakin smiled back and pointily nodded his head towards the small data report.
She can mess with the remote later
"Just what were you messing with during the report?" Ahsoka sat on the couch while Anakin was on the other side of the small room, trying to find a way to make the food rations they got a little bit more flavorful.
"Oh, "she took the remote back out of her pocket, she had nearly forgotten about that," just something I found in master Obi-wans room, seems to be pretty old," she held the remote in her hands, trying to read the faint lettering it had.
"I think it's a remote of some kind," she squinted as she noticed a tiny switch on the side," oh, I wonder what this is supposed to be." As she moved the switch, Anakin quietly grunted behind her, slapping his hand against the back of his neck as something shocked him. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion, he hasn't felt a shock like that for a little bit more than a decade.
"Oh, I turned it on." Ahsoka pressed down on one of the buttons again and jumped when she heard a thud behind her.
"Mas-Anakin!" she threw herself over the back of the couch as her master spasmed on the floor, grunting in pain, his teeth clenched tightly.
"Anakin!" her hands hovered over his body. His body shook as if he was having a seizure, eyes rolling to the back of his head. She tried to touch him, trying to pin down his limbs to keep him from hurting himself but she quickly pulled back her hands once she felt a nasty shock through her hands.
"Rex!" her voice was frantic as she called Rex over the comms," somethings wrong with Anakin! Get Kix and come to our quarters now!" she didn't wait for his answer and felt her chest tighten when her master turned his head to cough up vomit. But as just as fast as it happened, everything stopped.
"…Anakin?" she carefully placed her hands onto his chest, relieved that she didn't get shocked that time and quickly moved him from the puddle of vomit. His body was painfully limp as she maneuvered him onto her lap, cradling his head in her hands.
Her master groaned lowly, finally showing some sign of being responsive.
"Commander!" Rex rushed into the room, Kix right behind him. She could only watch as Kix assessed her master, taking his pulse and other readings before taking her barely responsive master away on a stretcher.
"Commander," rex kneeled in front of Ahsoka, "What happened to general Skywalker?" she looked down at the remote in her hands, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion. It couldn't have been a coincidence that her master had collapsed as soon as she pressed the button…
Right?
"Ahsoka," Obi-wans voice was low, his eyes focused on the remote that she held in her hands.
"Where did you get that from?" they were sitting next to Anakin's bed in the medical bay, Ahsoka holding the remote in her hand when she took it back out to stare at it. She handed over the remote to her grandmaster.
"I found it in your room." Obi-wan took the remote slowly, his eyebrows furrowed. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, Ashoka felt a deep and sharp pain of utter sadness and a feeling of betrayal from her master's side of the bond before he put up her shields. she turned her head just in time to see the horrified face of her master before he scrambled out of bed, keeping the bed between the two of them as if it was a barrier. His face quickly melting into one of anger.
"Master," she watched confused as Anakin kept his eyes on the remote in Obi-wans hands, his voice trembling with anger with an undertone of fear.
"I thought you destroyed that. You told me that you destroyed it." Ahsoka looked on as the two of them had a standoff. Obi-wan quickly putting down the remote and taking a step away from it, dragging Ahsoka along with him.
"No Anakin, th- "
"No?!" Anakin took another step away from them, an overwhelming sense of sorrow washing over the young padawan as her master kept on talking.
"You never trusted me, did you?!"
"Anakin ple- "Obi-wan tried to walk around the bed, trying to reason with his student, only to stop when Anakin took yet another step away, the anger in his face melting away to show the sadness he was feeling. And in a way that didn't look right on her master, he curled in on himself, wrapping his arms around his chest and compacting himself as if he was expecting a hit.
"I should have known, no one would ever trust a slave like you did." She glanced at Obi-wan and felt her heart drop. Never had she seen her grandmaster look so sad, it looked like someone had just torn his heart out.
"Please Anakin, just lis- "
"Get out." Although his words were quiet, they were so full of emotion, it was like he had yelled it.
"…Anakin…"
"Get out!" Ahsoka jumped at the sudden show of emotion while Obi-wan flinched before grabbing Ahsoka, leaving the room with her. She looked between both masters, confused as she was being dragged out. Obi-wan stayed inside the room for a few seconds.
"I'm sorry Anakin."
