Lux's Point of View

A soft knock put my many thoughts to the back of my mind, and I came to my senses. Losing Steila… was not easy to take. Most of my thoughts focused on her. I don't know what I'm going to do without her. A good friend, or, perhaps, something more… had been at work. I didn't understand the meaning of her loss, really. Now I truly had been denied everything. My father and mother, my home, and now, my best friend. A feeling of destitution swept over me, though all this happened in a moment.

I opened the door, and was surprised to see… her. "Ahsoka… are you alright?" She looked very troubled.

"Can I talk to you, Lux?" She ventured quietly.

"I… suppose so. Come on in."

She came inside and, once the door closed, slowly said, "I'm… sorry about Steila… I know you were close to her."

In a flash I realized, behind her mask of words, what she meant by that comment.

"Well… we were… somewhat close, but forgetting such a beautiful creature such as yourself caused me to stay on the safe side." I smiled, but she blushed a deep red. Turning away, she mentioned,

"Are you just saying that to keep me on your good side, or because you really mean it?"

"Well, will this prove anything to you?"

With that, I turned her shoulder towards me and kissed her passionately. She broke away after a few seconds of indescribable bliss, and again denied my sincerity by asking me,

"How do I know you didn't do that with Steila?"

"Because I wouldn't feel safe cheating on a Jedi. Being hunted down by a girl would be embarrassing enough, especially over another woman."

I sighed and sat down on the bed, and leaned my head back until it touched the wall, with one knee up. I had felt a flash of feelings towards Steila, and that only deepened my pain. Now the one person I couldn't live without, Ahsoka, was thinking I was cheating on her. A tear spilled down my cheek. Why was everything falling to pieces?

Ahsoka noticed it, and walked over towards me. She could sense what I was feeling. An unfortunate consequence of loving a jealous Jedi. She stood at me and looked down right into my eyes. Her gaze was hypnotizing. My thoughts jerked me out of the pain long enough for me to lean forward and brush the tear off. I was not about to let Ahsoka see me cry.

"Listen, I believe you. I love you, Lux… don't forget that." With that, she sat on my legs, and looked deep into my eyes.

She slowly lowered herself onto my chest, but I was still propped up on the back of the bed.

"Wait, Ahsoka."

"What?"

"Are you sure this is what you want? This is a serious matter, not lightly considered. I don't really want to be responsible for the consequences."

"Well… do you want me?"

I thought for a moment. "Yeah, I do."

"And I want you. Get it now?"

"Yeah, I guess I do."

"Just think of it as a deep bond. It's not easily broken. And a promise."

"Sounds good to me." I said quietly.

I kissed her passionately, while I ran my finger along her sides. She moaned against the kiss, so I drifted my hand to her breast area. I slowly undid her shoulder straps, breaking the kiss only once.

I started to pulled down her dress, but she stopped me, and blushed. "Don't be shy, I won't bite." I smirked. She allowed me to continue, and I gasped at their beauty as I pulled the dress down further. It was then that the most embarrassing thing in my life occurred.

The door opened.

It was Anakin Skywalker.

Ahsoka's eyes went wide.

He looked at me straight in the eyes. His gaze was like a lightsaber through the heart.

He spoke in a hard tone which made my insides freeze. "What the - are you two doing?!"

I set Ahsoka to the side, while she was in a state of shock. He eyed me, and growled,

"Two creatures are in very… big… trouble. Wouldn't you agree - Lux Bonteri?"
