This one was suggested by cassturn93. You wanted Sabine and Ezra fluff so here you go! I wrote it as brother sister fluff but you can see it both ways.
Midnight Luna- I responded to your review in case you didn't see it. I hope you're doing okay.
Summary: When Kanan and Hera are off meeting with Bail Organa, Sabine is the one to comfort Ezra when he wakes up screaming.
Kanan didn't like the idea of leaving, but Hera needed a partner to go meet with Senator Organa and insisted he needed some time away from everything. No fighting, just a peaceful talk. And just for one night.
He had protested, not wanting to leave his padawan, but Hera reassured him that Sabine and Zeb were perfectly capable of taking care of him for one night.
Kanan sighed, staring at the splash of green among the white outlines as he heard the Phantom go into hyperspace.
"Force, please let him be okay."
That night was rough for Sabine.
Within hours, she found herself in Kanan's room, Zeb on her heels. Ezra was curled up in a ball on the floor, screaming and crying, terrified of being alone.
Zeb had absolutely no idea what to do so Sabine volunteered to stay with him. Was it always going to be like this? Two steps forward, one step back?
Sabine was to the point of tears as she lifted him back onto the bed and held her surrogate little brother in her arms, feeling helpless as she rocked him back and forth like an infant, shushing him, stroking his hair and trying to be gentle, but Ezra continued to ball, screaming for Kanan, for anyone. Sabine blinked back her tears and sighed. Without thinking, a soft melody spilled from her lips.
Close your eyes
It'll be alright
The night is long but the moon is bright.
Even if the clouds roll in tonight
I will be here through the night.
It was not a traditional Mando lullaby, but it was something her mother would sing to her each night.
Ezra stopped sobbing and relaxed into his surrogate sister's embrace, his eyes starting to drift as he began slipping back into sleep. Sabine continued singing the song for him.
The day is over now
Stop your crying now
Close your eyes now
Cause I will be here through the night.
Sabine knew a few more lullabies, some more traditional than others, but there was no need. Ezra was still shaking, but he was asleep. Sabine sighed in relief as she laid Ezra back on the bed. Ezra grunted in protest as his hand frantically grabbed at air. Sabine watched for a moment. "I guess I could stay," she said softly with a smile. She quickly pulled up a chair and let Ezra grab her hand. The sight broke Sabine's heart. Ezra was always independent. What had happened to this kid? Her eyes watered and she leaned down, planting a soft kiss on Ezra's head. The grip on her hand relaxed slightly but Sabine didn't let go, nor did she plan on letting go. She sat up with him for as long as she could before she found herself plunging into sleep.
Hera and Kanan's mission had gone off without a hitch. They had met with Senator Organa and informed them of what happened. Apparently, he was planning on sending a replacement for Ahsoka soon. Hera had wanted to scoff at the word "replacement." That was the one thing she disliked about military protocol. Everyone could be replaced. However, Hera shook it off. As sad as she was about Ahsoka's death, that was the cost of war.
A heartwarming sight broke Hera out of her thoughts. Kanan paused behind her, a confused look on her face. "Come here," Hera whispered, glowing with joy. Hera peered into the room and watched Kanan smile upon sensing the calm in the room. Sabine was sitting in a chair, slumped over the bed, hand clasped around Ezra's hand. Ezra was curled up, mouth agape and snoring quietly and adorably. "Looks like someone did her job well," Hera murmured, her tone making Kanan's heart flutter.
Kanan couldn't help but sigh in relief. Ezra was safe. He would be safe with his family watching over him.
Believe it or not, I wrote the lullaby. I love writing poetry and attempting to set it to music. Don't forget that there will NOT be an update next week. I shall return in a couple of weeks and (don't hold me to this) I will try to update more frequently since I will be on summer break! Yay! Leave love and suggestions in the comments below.
Byeeeeee!
