"Sleep," came the raspy voice of his padawan.

No. It was a silent unspoken no that he could not tell his padawan; he could not let him go, not now, not after how long he had held on.

"Sleep, Master?" questioning it sounded, but still as raspy as before, if not more.

He hugged his padawan closer to him, trying to warm him from the cold, of course, both knew that it was to no avail. The gaping hole above his heart gave him no reprieve. To give him what he wanted would be to slowly kill the Master, who would slowly die of a broken heart.

"Please," he was begging, barely able to force the word out.

"Shhh, padawan," he whispered. It broke his heart as he cradled the boy to him.

"Sleep padawan," he said quietly as tears streamed down his face.

A/N: well, that was my first drabble I've ever tried to write. Constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated!
