I just want to say, the privacy that has been allowed between Lux and Ahsoka will not lead to any form of sexuality so the rating will remain K+ it may be changed to T for the fact that it's a love story but there will be no sexual references at any time so that is only a thought! Other than that, enjoy!
Ahsoka rushed down the hall until she finally reached her private quarters. She ran in and locked the door as she threw herself onto her bed covering her face in her pillow.
Anakin followed closely behind her but he was to late. She had already locked the door. He pressed his ear against the cold metal door hoping to hear if she was crying. When he didn't hear anything, he knocked.
"Snips, open the door!" He said in a loud voice so she could hear him.
She didn't answer.
"Snips, this is your last warning!" He said in the same loud voice," Ok, I'm coming in!"
He raised his hand over the button which controlled the door and used his force powers to unlock it.
The door slid open, but Ahsoka didn't move.
Anakin walked in and sat on the bed as he waited for her to sit up. She didn't.
"Come on, Snips, we have to talk this over…" He said placing a hand on arm.
"Master….I just don't understand why you didn't trust me…. If you would have told me before, I would understand! If you love Padme', I can't stop you, no-one in the universe can keep you from loving her, I am happy you are with her….it's just the fact that you didn't tell me sooner…." She said as she dropped her head into her pillow again.
Anakin felt bad now that he hadn't trusted her! She was his padawan! He knew almost all of her secrets, and he didn't tell her his one!
"I'm sorry… I should have trusted you, I was afraid you would turn me in for dis-obeying the code…" He said lowering his head.
"Master, if your happy, I'm happy! I would never turn you in, If you love Padme' and she loves you… nothing or no-one should keep you separated…" She said as she sat up now.
"I'm sorry, Snips… I say we make a vow that we will tell each other everything, deal?" He asked.
She turned her eyes up as if she had to think it over, but to be honest, she only wanted to worry him that she would say no.
"Deal!" She said smiling.
"Now that that's all cleared up, is there anything going on between you and Lux?" Anakin asked smiling.
Ahsoka didn't like talking about her love life, but they had just promised they would tell each other everything.
"We are friends…" She said shifting in her chair.
Anakin noticed she was growing un-easy," Only friends? Ahsoka, I use to tell Obi-wan the same thing when I was a padawan….seriously, how do you feel about him?"
Ahsoka's headtails darkened as she answered," He's nice…"
"Is that all?" Anakin said playfully bumping shoulders with her.
"Alright, I admit I do think he is handsome…" Her headtails were really dark now.
"Ahsoka, don't be embarrassed by how you feel for someone. How will you ever learn how that person feels about you if you never admit how you feel for them?" Anakin asked placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Are you saying I need to express my feelings to Lux?" Ahsoka asked slightly shocked.
"If you really like him…."
"But what if he doesn't share the same feelings for me?"
"Then at least you will know!"
Ahsoka stared at the floor in deep thought. Did she really want to tell Lux that she liked him?
A knock came from outside the door. Anakin stood up and opened it only to find Lux standing, hands behind his back.
"Oh, Lux, what can I do for you?" Anakin asked.
"I was wondering if I could talk to Ahsoka…privately…." He said as he began to tap his foot revealing his nervousness.
"Um…." He was unsure what to say. He turned to Ahsoka for a answer. She nodded with a smile spread across her face. "Sure!" Anakin said as he walked out into the hall to give the two some privacy.
Lux walked in and sat on the bed. Ahsoka noticed he was taping his foot and realized he was as nervous as she was.
Lux had gone blank since the moment he saw her; but he knew he had to say something.
"How are you?" He asked bluntly feeling like an idiot to ask such a stupid question.
"Better now, and you?" She asked moving to sit down beside him.
"I'm good…." He felt the conversation was awkward, and he didn't like it.
Anakin walked back in the room where Padme' was sitting. He found her pushing buttons and pulling levers. He found it attractive.
When Anakin didn't speak, she turned to see what was wrong.
"How is she?" She asked when she turned towards him.
"She's over it….we made a vow not to keep secrets from each other…"
"Thats….good….."
"Did you send Lux to her?" He asked taking a seat.
"Yes, he finds her….attractive…" She noticed Anakin's worried look," What troubles you?"
"I just don't want them to suffer the extreme secrecy that we have suffered…" He said walking over to where she sat, taking her hands in his.
"I'm sure they'll be fine!" Padme' said firmly.
"Ahsoka isn't the best at hiding stuff though and it worries me that the council will sense their bond…" He closed his eyes fearing the thought of such.
"Don't worry…" She said pulling him into a kiss," you weren't so good at hiding things either…"
The two sat quietly. They both found it quite awkward.
Lux was growing very uncomfortable. He hated the silence and wanted something to be said; so he did.
"Thank you…" He said.
Ahsoka was a bit confused, why was he saying thank you? "For what?" She asked turning to face him.
"For giving yourself over to Dooku to save my life! You have no idea how much that means to me….physically and romantically…." He said as he whispered the last part.
Ahsoka's headtails grew dark,"No problem….I'm always willing to help a friend!"
"Isn't that your job? As a jedi I mean…" He was wanting to clear things up. Did she care about him or was she only doing her job.
"Yes, but this was different…" She said smiling at him.
At that instant she felt something change inside of her. She had talked to Lux before, but this time was different. The feelings she had for him altered into something more.
"Well thats….good, I guess…"
"Yah…" She was beginning to feel more comfortable around him,"So where are you going to be staying until you get yourself back on your feet?"
"I am guessing I will be staying with Padme', right now she is the closes thing I have to home…" He said sadly remembering the death of his mother.
Ahsoka grew excited at hearing that. He would be staying with Padme'! She knew it would be hard but she wanted to talk Padme' into letting her stay over too.
"Really! Padme' and I were planning on having a sleep over when we got back to Couriscant!" She spoke before she thought, or should I say, she lied before she thought.
"Really? Well I don't want to interrupt you guys party…" He knew she wanted him there but he wanted to hear her say it.
"Oh, it's no problem! You won't be interrupting! It would be fun to have someone different involved in one of our sleep overs!" She worried a little when he suggested staying some where else.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yes!"
Now all I have to do is convince Padme' to let me stay, she thought to herself.
Well! How was it? I know these chapters aren't as long as the one's I wrote for "Dreams and Schemes" Which BTW if you haven't read that story yet, READ IT! It is a follow up to this one! Like I said before, there will be no sexual content in this story even though the two are given privacy!
