growing up as a slave was hard. Anakin learned that he always had to keep up with the best. no matter how tired or anything he was. so when Anakin went to his first temple fitness class, naturally he pushes himself way too far. their first task was to run a half mile. ok, not too hard. if there weren't kids in the class who were inhacencing speed to do it. (they were combined with the 14 year olds.) the first minute, Anakin was ok. 2 minutes he started to feel dizzy and nausious. and by the end he excused himself to the bathroom to go puke. as soon as he was away, he ran for the toilet, and heaved what must've been the past weeks worth of food.

even then he didn't cry. or panic.

he was strong. sure, running at top speed at a pace you'd normally run for about 10 seconds at was very tiring, and Anakin thought he might black out, but he was fine.

later on it would cause problems, problems he and Obi Wan spoke about.

but for now, he was fine...


Anakin didn't cry when his mother died either.


or when he slaughtered the tuskin raiders.


or ever.


that all changed when Obi Wan died. well, he thought Obi Wan died.
