Chapter Seven: Be Mine.
A/N: Hi guys, KyoshiWarrior here, this is my last chapter of this story (don't worry I'll make more, as soon as a have new ideas), I will change a little bit the scene of the kiss between Revan and Bastila, (if you ask me, I hate her personality after kissing Revan, c'mon girl you love him no?) anyway, I hope you like it.
In the morning Bastila was confronted by Mission.
"How went your date with Conner last night?" She asked.
"We didn't have a date Mission, it was only a dinner." Bastila said seriously, last night, she was almost kissed by him. And she wanted, but something inside her told her not do it.
"Sure." Mission said with sarcasm. "You know, you should have kissed him."
Bastila was paralyzed. "When I said that?" She asked.
"Yesterday I was awake when you did it." Mission answered.
Bastila sighed and said "I wanted to kiss him, but part of me told me not to do it."
"I'm sure that part of you was your Jedi part. I know you don't want to break your Jedi Code, but I believe your mind and your heart are in conflict. Your mind tells you not to break the Code and your heart tells you to do it, just for once." Mission said.
"Do what your heart tells you to do, don't silence him."
Bastila stood in silence, she was thinking about last night, when Conner invited her to dance, and the night that was supposed to be dinner, became a romantic night with an almost happy ending. She needed to talk with him.
She thanked Mission for her advice and went to the main hold, Conner was there working in his lightsaber.
"Hi Conner." Bastila said.
"Hey Princess." Conner answered with a smile. "You want to talk with me?"
"Yes, but we can do this in private in your room about eight o'clock?" She asked.
"Sure, see you later." Conner said and went to Ahto City to participate in the swoop races until eight. He wasn't unsure what Bastila wanted to talk about with him, after last night, he didn't want to push her further.
Bastila spent almost all the day in her dormitory, trying to recite her best words she was going to say to him. She didn't want to lose him again, but she also didn't want to break the Code, she needed to make a decision before eight o'clock.
Eight o'clock.
Conner was already in his dormitory waiting for her, he had been waiting her since two seconds ago. Bastila walked and stopped in front of Conner's door, she took a deep breath and went inside, Conner was sitting on the bed looking the exterior of the ship.
"You arrived." Conner said when he noticed Bastila in the room.
"Yes." She answered.
"So, what do you want to talk with me?" Conner asked.
"We need to talk about the two of us. You are like no man I have met before, you make me feel stronger and alive when I'm with you, but also I feel weak. I now realize these feelings are product of our bond."
Conner's face turned serious. "Every time I call to my Jedi disciplines, they fail me, I should be able to control myself, but I can't." She said trying to avoid his eyes, she felt so embarrassed; she wanted to be far from him.
"So, this is all I meant for you? A stone in your path of becoming a master?" He asked with a tone of angry and deception.
"Please, don't say it like that…you make it seem like I was using you." She answered with sadness.
Conner stayed silent a few minutes, how he could be mad at her? In all his life he had finally found a person who had some difficulties in her life just as him.
"Bastila." He said keeping his distance. "I have developed feelings for you and I can't ignore them. I had fallen in love with you, and I know that you also have developed feelings for me, don't ignore them. You and I have this special connection, and I'm not talking about the bond, I know you feel the same because I feel it too." He said lovingly. "Please tell me you felt the same when we kissed."
"You don't understand, Malak has to be stooped. If we let our feelings for each other get into the way it could bring terrible consequences." She said avoiding his eyes, his amber eyes were like warmth light that melted away her cold attitude.
"I will stop Malak, but I want you by my side when I do it." He said making his way to her.
"You…you meant it, don't you?" She said gazing at the floor.
"Yes." He said and stepped in front of her. He took her chin between his fingers and left it until their eyes met. "I love you Bastila, and you know it's true, don't be afraid to love. You said we needed to forget about the kiss, but I can't" He said.
"I…I…love you too." She said, although she had admitted her feelings for him while he was unconscious, but she wanted to do it again. "When I met you back on Taris, I thought you will never change, but I was wrong after your Jedi initiation. I had fallen in love with you."
Conner smiled and leaned to her, his lips met with hers. The kiss was just as sweet as it had been the first time, when he gave it to her back on Kashyyyk. She wrapped her arms around his neck trying not to break the moment; he wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her closer. When they broke apart, she slid her hands down Conner's shoulders until they rested on his chest. They stood in silence a few minutes, with their foreheads resting against each other.
"How do you feel?" He asked smiling.
"Better." She answered between breaths.
Conner smiled and kissed her again, but this time he deepened the kiss, they wanted to enjoy the moment they were having. Conner started to kiss her neck, but she pushed him away.
"What?" He asked trying not to get angry at her.
"Nothing. I'm just…scared." She answered.
"Don't worry, if you aren't prepared for something, I'll not make you do something you're not ready for." He said with sadness, he made his way to the door but was stopped by Bastila.
"No, it's not that. I'm afraid of losing you." She said grabbing his arm. "I already had lost my father, I can't lose you too."
Conner turned to her. "Hey, you won't, I promise." He said brushing away a strand of her hair and placing it behind her ear then he kissed her on the forehead.
She looked into his eyes and saw the sincerity and the love he felt for her. Why she was so scared? Is it wrong to love someone who caused much damage to the galaxy and even now, without knowing his true identity is redeeming at the eyes of the galaxy? She thought. She kissed him deepening the kiss, she gave into him and was barely aware the fact he was taking off her clothes and that she was doing the same thing with him, she never realized when they laid down on the bed. The only thing she felt was the sweet but burning kisses Conner was giving her while his hands explored her body. Their bodies pressed together in rhythmical moves, for them nothing matter right now, they finally had what they wanted; be part of the other. They spent the night in each other's arms. Around midnight Conner woke up and saw that Bastila was still nestled in his arms and her hand was resting in his chest, she look beautiful with the moonlight shinning on her, and he smiled. "Goodnight my beautiful princess."
Morning came and Bastila woke up first, she felt an arm around her, when she opened her eyes, she saw Conner sleeping, she had fell asleep on his shoulder, she could feel the warmth of his body, his muscles. Conner woke up moments later; he looked down and saw Bastila on his shoulder, and smiled.
"Morning beautiful." He said in a sleepy voice.
"Morning." She answered smiling. "I was dreaming with you."
"You were? About what?" He asked.
"You and I were talking, but I told you something and you got mad at me, you said you never wanted to see me again, and then you left." She said looking at him.
"Mmm, that sounds more like a nightmare to me." He answered.
"Yes, I know." She said and kissed him gently on the neck.
Conner sat on the bed, making sure to bring part of the sheet; he turned to look at Bastila, who was lying on the bed covering herself with the rest of the sheet.
"Hey, I will never do that to you, you know that, right?" He said.
"I know, I love you." She said.
"I love you too." He said and leaned to her. She took his face between her hands and kissed him. He smiled against her lips and deepened the kiss. Later, they decided to walk around Ahto City, just the two of them. They had broken the Code for love, but they didn't care. All that matter in that moment was their love, two lovers who never give up their love.
