Chapter 5: Feelings Admitted

Six Months Later

POV: Anakin

It's been six months since Ahsoka's first day and I still haven't broken my attachment to her. If anything things have gotten so much harder. I can't stop thinking about her. She's on my mind 24/7. She lets me see all her drawings now, which is good, but it's only made me grow to love her more. I tried to cover up my attachment as best I could, but I could sense Ahsoka beginning to become suspicious.

We had been sent on a mission to Geonosia. According to our clone intelligence, there is a droid factory hidden out here somewhere. So the council sent Ahsoka and I to snoop around and find out. Basically we were spying. Not my speciality, but I didn't mind it. We were dropped off two days ago with nothing but our lightsabers and two life packs. We still hadn't found anything though. We had to search the whole planet before we left, unless we found it, then we could return early. We had been going through narrow pathways, so we were always close to each other. Great. This is just what I need. Her to be so close to me…I thought, frustrated. We continued onwards for another five minutes and I just couldn't take it any longer.

"Ahsoka go ahead for a bit. I'll catch up. I just need a minute…" I said. I looked away and sat down against a wall.

"I'm not leaving you Skyguy. I'll wait for you." She smiled. She sat down next to me. Well, this just defeats the whole purpose of staying behind! I thought. I don't know how much longer I'm going to be able to keep this up. I pretended to clear my head and just relax, and she seemed to buy it. We sat in silence for a few minutes, and then I decided it was time to keep going.

"Ok, let's keep going," I said, breaking the silence.

"Alright Master," She replied. We continued. Through more narrow paths, over sand dunes, even though a few caves. We travelled until Sun down. I found a big enough cave for us to sleep a few meters apart. I don't think I would be able to handle sleeping next to her. I'm worried I might lose control.

"Ok Snips, you can sleep over there if you want. I'm gonna sleep just here," I said, unrolling my sleeping bag.

"Is it ok if I sleep here?" She pointed next to me. I couldn't make anything obvious so I told her she can if she wants to. I closed my mind and kept my distance from her for the next hour. Everything was going ok until I felt large waves of sadness roll over her. I raised an eyebrow and looked at her. She's so beautiful…Oh Force…

"Snips are you okay?" I asked from inside the cave. She was sitting with her legs over a cliff at the mouth of the cave, staring at Guermessa, one of Tatooine's many moons.

"Nothing. I don't want to bother you." She said a bit harshly, wiping a tear away from her eye. She tried to hide it but I caught onto it. I know that I was a bit unstable to be close to her at the moment, but I didn't have a choice. She was upset and as her Master I was expected to care for her. And there was the small factor that I loved her… I walked over to her.

POV: Ahsoka

I hated it when he shut me out. We had grown so much closer over the past few months. I was even thinking about telling him my past, but if he can't even tell me what's bothering him I guess we aren't that close. I just wish he would tell me, I can help him through it. He's been avoiding me all day…I hope I haven't done anything to upset him…

POV: 3rd Person

Anakin slowly walked over to her and sat down, throwing his legs over the cliff edge with hers. He looked at her to see her staring into the night sky, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Ahsoka, tell me what's wrong." He asked gently. She didn't respond to him, and leaned back until she was laying back on her elbows, still watching the sky. He scooted closer to her, hoping to get through to her.

"Ahsoka, please. Tell me why you're upset, I don't like seeing you unhappy." She sighed and looked at him.

"I'm worried about you Master. You…you block your mind from me, you don't talk to me unless you have to, you've been avoiding me, and you haven't been yourself lately. I hate it when you shut me out. I…I was going to tell you about my past, but we don't even seem that close anymore... Please just tell me what's bothering you. I can help you, just tell me," Ahsoka pleaded. Anakin sighed. He stood up and walked back into the cave before he did something stupid like kiss her. Ahsoka grew frustrated of him blocking her out. She followed him into the cave and tugged on his shoulder to get him to face her again.

"Master, you're not a robot. You have feelings. And sometimes when we have sad or unsure feelings, we need to talk to people about them. You're not the emotionless Chosen One that everyone thinks you are. You're a real person with real problems and real emotions. So tell me what you are feeling and what's bothering you and let me help you get through it! You can't go on like this! Whatever is bothering you is affecting your life and how you act and talk to people! It's affecting me too and I don't like it!" Ahsoka said. She was so worried about him. She couldn't deny to herself that she felt something more than a Master-Padawan relationship now. There was something else there. And the concerned way she had just acted about her Master's problems had just proved it. She couldn't pretend there wasn't anything there any longer. She had to accept it. She loved him.

POV: Anakin

Ahsoka was begging me to tell her why I had been a bit off lately. What if I told her? She might think that I'm crazy. Mental. She might think I'm a creep and then I would never regain the relationship we had now. But in order to keep her trust, there had to be no secrets between us. There was always the chance, even in the slightest fraction, that she felt something for me too. I never thought she would love me in a million years. Sure she might be attracted to me because of my body, but she would probably never love me for me. For my personality. And if she ever loved me it would probably be a sibling love. I didn't think she could ever see me as her lover. Just like an older brother she never had. But oh Force, I wanted to be with her so bad… I wanted to protect her, to hold her, and I wanted to be hers. I wished she was mine, and I was hers. It would be a dream come true…

I turned away from Ahsoka again and sat down at the deepest part of the cave, against the wall. It was darker over there, and you could only make out silhouettes. She sat down next to me, I could see that she wouldn't be giving up until she got what she wanted to hear.

"Ahsoka, it's nothing, alright?" I said softly.

"If you think I'm going to buy that your wrong." She stood up in front of me. "I have stood by you all this time and now you're going to throw all the trust we have away because you won't tell me what's bothering you?! Why won't you tell me?! What are you afraid of?!" She shouted. I stood up as well, towering over her. I could feel I was intimidating her a little.

"I'm not afraid of anything! You won't understand! You will ask for a new master! You'll never want to see me again! All these months of bonding and training together and trust will be ripped apart! Turned to dust! Nothing left!" I shouted back. This small matter of my attachment to Ahsoka had turned into an argument.

"Master, I promise I won't judge you, I won't ask for a new Master, I won't say anything if you don't want me to. Just please, tell me what's wrong. I hate seeing you upset…" She shed a tear. My eyes widened. Ahsoka never cries. She might be only a young girl, but she's strong. I have never, in all the time we have been a team, seen her cry. Even when we lost a fellow comrade or a clone that she was great friends with, she had never cried. But now, she was crying over me. I couldn't hold it in any longer. As the tear trickled down her face, her eyes locked on the floor, I wiped it away and brought her chin up to meet my gaze. I closed my eyes and very gently, kissed her warm lips. It felt so good to finally kiss her. I was well aware that I might not ever get to do it again, so I treasured the moment as the seconds went by. Her lips didn't move, so nether did mine. We just stood there, our lips touching, eyes closed. A few seconds later, I pulled away slowly, keeping my eyes closed. I was scared to open them. What expressions would be written across her face? Sadness? Disappointment? Confusion? …Happiness?...I painfully opened my eyes to see hers staring into mine.

"I'm so sorry Ashoka. I…I-"

"Is this what's been bothering you?" She asked, I couldn't read her emotions or facial expressions. At the moment they were blank.

I sighed. "Yes…I'm sorry." I said looking down in shame. The next thing she did I didn't expect at all. She nervously put her arms around my neck and leaned in for another kiss. She took my lips in hers, and pulled me in closer. I felt huge waves of happiness roll over her and I felt my eyes welling up in tears. I couldn't believe I was kissing her. I wrapped my arms around her lower back and pulled her even closer. I never wanted to let her go, not even for a second. This is all I've wanted for a long time. I pulled away and stared into her beautiful baby blue eyes.

"A-Ahsoka, I…I love you." I said nervously. "I couldn't…help it any longer. I…need you…" I felt more waves of happiness coming off her. They were stronger than anything else I had ever felt from her. This was looking good.

"I…love you too Master…" She admitted, quietly. I smiled widely. I had never felt so happy in my life. I lifted her up and spun us around, kissing her again. She was so surprised but she was really happy. I let her down but didn't break the kiss. I lost control, pushing her back against the wall, kissing her viciously.

"Master!" She squealed and I tore myself away from her, panting. I walked out of the cave and into the night. I could never do that again. I had to train myself not to lose control with her. She was only young, and I had to respect if she didn't want to be with me. She had her whole life ahead of her, and being with me might hold her back. I calmed myself down and stayed out for a while. I heard her calling for me, but I didn't return.

POV: Ahsoka

He pulled away quickly and stormed out of the cave. I could tell he was angry with himself. Yes, I was a little afraid and intimidated by him back there, but I didn't want him to leave. I caught my breath back and ran to the mouth of the cave.

"Master!" I called. No reply. I thought that now we had connected on a deeper level I should call him by his first name.

"A…Anakin!" I screamed. It felt a little weird at first, but it was ok. I felt through the force he liked the way I called his name. I called out again.

"Anakin! Come back!" I shouted. Still, nothing. I tried talking through our bond. Anakin, please, wherever you are, come back…He still wasn't showing any signs of returning. The wind suddenly picked up and I backed up into the cave. I began to shiver from the cold. I decided I would find him tomorrow. He wouldn't do anything stupid, I hope. He can look after himself anyway. I rolled out the sleeping backs and lots of blankets and crawled under them, still cold. After a few minutes I was warm again. I thought about Anakin. About the kiss, and I hoped I could do it again one day. As the wind died down a little, I fell asleep, dreaming of Anakin.

I hope you like it! Please review! Nice comments please! It's my First fic!
