3. 3 Star Gazing and Snoring

The Snoozing Padawan

#3- Star Gazing and Snoring

Kanan couldn't sleep.

He'd been trying to go to sleep for the past few hours, but it just wasn't happening.

The Jedi sighed.

Then, he decided to go outside.

He got up, opened the door, and walked down the hall.

On his way out, he was surprised to see his Padawan laying on the ramp. He was on his back, and his arms were folded behind his head.

"Ezra?", he said. "What are you doing out here?"

Ezra didn't respond.

"Ezra?", he said again, a little louder this time.

A soft snore was the only response he received.

Kanan was surprised that Ezra had fallen asleep on the ramp. However, he was even more surprised by the fact that his Padawan snored.

He'd never heard the boy do that before.

He got a little closer and looked down at the teen.

Ezra had a peaceful and innocent look on his face, and his chest rose and fell with each breath he took.

"He must've fallen asleep while star gazing", Kanan thought.

During his first few weeks on The Ghost, Ezra complained about Zeb's loud snoring. After a few months, Ezra adapted and became a heavy sleeper. Now, he usually slept as deeply as his roommate.

Kanan couldn't help but think it was ironic that Ezra snored, too.

However, there were a few differences in the ways the two snored. While Zeb snored loudly, Ezra snored so softly that it was almost inaudible. The other difference was that Ezra snored through his nose, while his roommate's snores emanated from his gaping mouth.

Then, as carefully as he could, Kanan picked the kid up, cradling him in his arms. Ezra unconsciously snuggled up to his master.

Kanan couldn't help but smile at the blue-haired boy.

Then, he carried his Padawan inside.

He took the boy to his and Zeb's room.

He carried the boy up the ladder and laid him down on his bunk.

Then, he tucked him in.

Ezra didn't so much as twitch. He jt slept (and snored) on, as if nothing was happening.

Kanan reached out and ran his fingers through Ezra's hair.

"Goodnight, Kid", Kanan whispered.

"Smnnz…"

Kanan smiled and climbed down the ladder.

Then, he opened the door and left the room.

The End.
