Ahsoka stared intently at Anakin, who was staring longingly at the door. He had been cooped up in the med bay since the small episode a few nights ago, and it was obvious that he was going a little bit stir crazy.

"Hey," Anakin turned to her, an innocent tilt to his head. It still broke Ahsoka's heart to see his pale skin, and that lack of fondness in his eyes. Although she could tell that Anakin cared about her, she knew that it was nowhere as strong as it used to be. She used to be able to feel his protectiveness through his shields.

"Do you wanna go?" Anakin ducked his head bashfully, rubbing the back of neck with a slight blush.

"Its that obvious?" Ahsoka gave him a small smile.

"Yeah, so where do you wanna go?" Anakin shrugged his shoulders while rubbing his eye.

"I don't know, I'll just go where you go." Ahsoka slightly deflated at that. She knew it was going to happen, but she was secretly hoping that her old master would resurface just a little bit and try to dictate where they should go. She pushed the thought out of her mind, reminding herself that she can't expect Anakin to act like he used to when he had amnesia.

"Okay! Come on, I'll take you to the hanger!" she got a curious head tilt at that, but Anakin still followed her out of the med bay (Kix gave them permission). Anakin followed her like a lost puppy, it reminded her of when Anakin was a child that could barely speak basic. He had spent his days following obi-wan and Ahsoka around, always having a grounding hand on their shirt or pants as he followed them. He snuck a look at her master, who kept on rubbing his eyes.

Making a detour, she led him to her quarters, leaving him to stand outside as she ran inside to grab his glasses. After Anakin had been gone for two months, they finally put his belongings in storage, but Ahsoka had stubbornly kept his glasses with her. It was one of the few of Anakin's belongings that was small enough for Ahsoka to carry with her. Obi-wan was the one who kept Anakin's stuffed bantha.

"Here," she took his glasses out of the case and handed them over," I noticed you keep on rubbing your eyes, these are your glasses." Anakin gave her a look of surprise before giving her a very small smile as he put them on. Her heart jumped for joy at the sight of his smile.

She missed seeing him smile.

"Woah," Anakin blinked in surprise as his eyes adjusted to the change," that is much better." He looked down at Ahsoka, his mouth falling silently as he stared at her.

"You're really pretty." well she certainly wasn't expecting that.

"I,um…thanks?" Anakin seemed to realize what he just said and turned a tomato red. And if Ahsoka thought he turned an impressive red while with his tan, he turned red with his pale skin.

"Wait no, I-I didn't mean it like that!" Anakin stepped away from her, trying to cover his red face with his forearm as he looked away," its just that you look better when I wear my glasses-not that I thought you were ugly! I didn't mean it like that either!" Ahsoka just watched with a smile as Anakin tried to explain himself. She could feel the embarrassment he felt, she could also tell that he meant to say it as a fact/compliment, but not in a way that suggested that he was attracted to her. She wasn't offended, she just thought the entire scene was hilarious, especially with the way Anakin was trying to cover his flushed face.

"Its okay," her words stopped Anakin's ramble, trying her best to withhold her chuckles at the sight of a tomato red Anakin," I know what you meant." Anakin gave her a small grateful smile. before Anakin could embarrass himself further, she nudged him to get his attention.

"Come on, let's go." Anakin obediently followed her as she continued to lead him to the hanger. She could feel Anakin's relief through their bond and continued to hold in her laughter.

As soon as she walked into the hanger with Anakin behind her, she could see the men who were present yearning to go and greet Anakin, to go and check on their general that had treated them like actual human beings. But based on the way Anakin shrunk under their gaze, and the way she felt his nerves through their bond, she could tell that he wasn't ready yet. With a heavy heart, she signed for the men to wait, something that got her a confused look from Anakin and sad smiles from her men.

Ahsoka let Anakin to her starfighter, which had taken a few hits in the siege of the base where they found Anakin.

"Think you can help me fix her up?" Anakin looked at her ship with a tilt of his head, scrunching up his face as he thought.

"I think so." Her eyes drifted over when she saw Rex motioning for her to come over before she focused on Anakin again.

"Great! I'll just go and grab some tools, I'll be right back." Ahsoka patted Anakin's shoulder as she walked past him, walking straight for Rex.

"How is he?" Ahsoka shrugged at the question.

"He could be better, but he's doing good. Its really easy to embarrass him now," Rex chuckled and rolled his eyes at that.

"Of course, that's the only thing you think of," his eyes flickered to behind her before looking back at her, "What…?" Rex trailed off as he looked behind her again, prompting Ahsoka to do the same.

Ahsoka just stared as her master was surrounded by the parts of her disassembled starfighter. She honestly didn't know what to be more impressed about, the fact that her master had managed to take apart her entire starfighter in the 30 seconds she wasn't looking, or the fact that each and every single part was being suspended in the air with the force. Considering the fact that her master had lost all knowledge of the force and how to use it, she was going to go with the latter.

"…I thought you said he didn't remember how to use the force?" they both stared at Anakin as he brought parts into his hands, tilting his head left and right as he observed the fighter part before shaking his head and letting it go, letting it float back into place.

"…when we mentioned it to him, he had no idea what we were talking about, he got super excited when we showed it to him and told him that he could do the same thing." Anakin kept on fiddling with the engine parts, immersing himself into his own world as the rest of the clones stopped to stare at him.

"Maybe we should tell him to stop?" Ahsoka quietly shook her head, she didn't want to pop out of nowhere and scare him.

"No, we don't want to scare him, he could lose his concentration and drop everything onto him. "Rex hummed in agreement. The rest of the hanger was silent as Ahsoka got closer to her master, still amazed at the way he was suspending everything in the air.

"So, do you want some help?" Anakin turned to her with a thoughtful look.

"Sure Snips," a confused look appeared on his face when he used the nickname. While Ahsoka's heart was jumping for joy because it had been forever since she had heard the nickname.

"Only if you spend of the rest of the day with me Sky guy." Anakin didn't understand why, but a wide smile spread across his face at the nickname, the nickname made a light, bubbly feeling fill his chest.

"Ok." Ahsoka couldn't keep the smile off her face, her heart was jumping for joy because that was the first time Anakin had actually given her a true smile, not a small smile with the smallest curves of his lips. But an actual smile where he showed his teeth, where the skin around his eyes wrinkled and joy leaked over their bond.

And for the first time, in a very long time.

Everything felt right.
