"Uh I am so tired", ahsoka let her head roll back on the edge of the couch after setting herself down with a thump on the main item in the living room.
"Welcome to my life every day and you thought Jedi training was hard", I set a glass of water down on the coffee table as I passed by to hang up my day pack.
"How do you keep doing that every day for so long", she gave me a pleading look pulling her head up from the couch.
"It's not easy but it's worth it to be in the temple", I admitted trying to lighten her burden a little.
I realized she grew up in the temple and that that was not going to seem a viable reason to her because of it.
"So do you have any friends outside of the Jedi order I could meet", at my words ahsoka seemed to come alive with renewed energy and fly off of the couch.
"Yes there is someone very special", she almost yelled at realizing something I was still trying to understand.
"Who"
"Lux Bonteri", her eyes seemed filled with an emotion I say in people usual before they do something stupid or... Do something related to love.
"Your boyfriend", I smirked placing my head in my hand as I watched her pace the floor.
"No of course not were just friends", she was lying and I could easily see that through her attempted cover up of a truth present all over her face.
"Yeah right, at least not for now", I laugh quietly bracing for a punch to any part of the body. It was not to happen as I heard a small sigh from her which told me that I had hit a nerve.
I looked up to see her sitting on the floor leaning up against the opposite wall looking very depressed.
"What's wrong", I inquired sliding down the portion of wall next to my friend. She seemed solely focused on one thing that she was yet to explain to me. I sighed to myself taking a risk that might result to me getting injured or at least a beating.
I reached my arm over her head as if about to a bomb, I slowly and surely lowed it till it was placed around Ahsoka's shoulders. Now came the part of truth that determined live from highly possible personal injury. To my upmost surprise she did it for me by resting her head on my shoulder as I tightened my grip gently.
"I'm here for you Ahsoka what's wrong", I tried to be a friend during need but I felt as thou I was causing part of the problem.
"What is Lux does not want to see me", she sounded more like she was in deep thought than on the verge of tears which is what I figured she was doing anyway.
"You never know until you try and if he does not want to see you then it's his lose", my words we accepted with a mixed response. Half of her seemed to want to jump up and run out the door in a flurry, never to return.
The other half seemed to want to break down and just talk about, which I was very unlikely to want to do.
"How about I cook up some food and while you wait I'll give you a few credits to contact your boyfriend", I proposed standing up from the floor and giving out my hand to Ahsoka.
"That would be good, thanks", she seemed to have lightened up a tab as I helped her onto her feet. I handed her the credits then made my way towards the kitchen.
As I arrived at the first cabinet to collect my ingredients the door slammed behind me. I was hoping to make something over the top and tasty to celebrate her first day at the temple as an archiver, but that didn't end up well. Everything ended up burnt or disgusting making it way over to the trash one way or another.
Uh I leaned onto the cold metal counter tops massaging my slightly burned fingers. At that moment despite me thinking things could not get much worse I heard the door open.
I stood up from the counter placing my hands behind my back to try and hide them.
"I'm back and I brought pizza", ahsoka cheered tossing the box onto the counter.
"Why did you get pizza", I was awestruck as I reached for the box my hunger getting the better of me.
"Well your good at cooking normal food, but when ever you try to make a 'special' meal you burn down the house", she air quoted the word special with her left hand as she took a piece of pizza with the other.
I looked down at my hand before giving a pathetic laugh trying to pretend that it did not happen.
"So did you get a hold of your friend", I asked taking a bit of the pizza.
"Yeah I did and he wants to invite us to dinner in a month", she giggled giving away that she really did have feelings for the guy.
"Well I better start getting ready I don't know what to do with my hair", I joked running my hand through my hair in a comedically manner.
"Neither do I", she responded giving us both a small fit of giggles.
