Five days after finding Ezra…

Kanan's POV

…

BOOM! CRACK! HISS!

I jumped a little at the loud lightning outside. We had arrived on Lothal a few days ago, just when a massive storm was rolling in. "That was close," Hera said, walking into the kitchen. "Yeah. Let's hope it doesn't get any closer." I stirred my coffee, then stirred the small mug of hot chocolate I had made for Ezra. Chopper rolled in as I asked "Where's Ezra?"

Chopper did a few beeps and bops, translating to "I don't know."

I pushed down the panic rising in my chest. "What do you mean you don't know? You guys are always together."

The droid grumbled as I asked worriedly "He didn't leave the ship again, did he?!"

"No, no. He didn't leave… he just… doesn't want to talk about it," the droid confessed.

I let out a sigh of relief. "Can you at least tell me where he is?"

"He's in one of the spare cabins," the droid said, wheeling over towards Hera.

Carrying my coffee in one hand and the hot chocolate in the other, I check the spare rooms. Opening the door to one, I stepped in. "Ezra? You in here?" I asked, turning the light on. There was a small, silent whimper from under the bed. Bending down and craning my neck, I saw the small boy huddled in the dark corner underneath the bed. "What'cha doing down there?" I asked calmly.

He didn't respond and squeezed his loth-cat toy against his chest. "Why don't you come out?" I coaxed. "I've got some hot chocolate for you."

The boy looked up and slowly edged his way out from under the bunk. He poked his head out as I sat cross legged on the floor. I took a sip of my coffee before showing him his drink. A smile pulled at his lips as he came all the way out, holding the mug in his small hands. He sniffed the sweet sensation just before there was a deafening crack and the lights flickered out. That's when I realised what was going on. Ezra had screamed loudly, spilling the contents of the cup all over himself. Once again, he pushed himself under the bed. I put down my coffee and lay down so we were eye level. "Are you afraid of the lightning?" I asked.

He looked at me scared and nodded. I chuckled slightly, extending my arms. "Come on kid. Let's get you cleaned up."

Begrudgingly, he crawled out from under the bed. I scooped him up and walked out of the cabin. Chopper turned the corner, shining a light in my face. "Hey, can you clean up the mess in the spare cabin?"

The droid grumbled at first but when Ezra said "Thanks Chop, you're the best," he couldn't go against it. He wheeled off towards the spare cabin, saying "Your welcome, I know I am."

We walked past Hera in the common room, heading for the kitchen. "Had a little accident I see?" she giggled, handing me a spare torch.

"Yeah, just a little. How's the power?" I asked, grabbing a cloth and trying to clean Ezra.

"It'll be out for a little while, but it's not too bad."

I nodded as Hera made another hot chocolate for Ezra and coffee for me. Thunder grumbled outside, threatening to strike again. I could feel Ezra cling tightly to me, letting out a small whimper. I stroked his head. "It's okay, it's just a little storm. You'll be fine, I promise."

He nodded, looking up at me with big, electric eyes. After everyone had their beverages, we sat down in the common room. "We should probably rest," Hera suggested.

"Sleep? No! Come on! Let's do something fun!" Ezra said, running around the room energetically.

"How much sugar did you put in that thing?" I chuckled.

"Obviously too much," Hera replied.

Ezra's eyes widened with joy as he ran over to us and jumped on me. "Can we play hide n' seek?! Pwitty pwease?" he asked in an adorable, childish voice.

"There's no lights though," I said, trying to ply off his hands digging into my sides.

"Yeah! Even more fun!" he laughed, running around again.

I glanced at Hera. "Okay, I'll play," she said, standing up.

Chopper, who had been waiting at the side stepped in. "Me too."

I sighed. "Fine, I'm in. But no hiding in the vents, okay?" I warned, looking at Ezra.

The boy giggled, then ran off. "Okay! You're it! Count to 15!"

Hera and Chopper left, not far behind Ezra as I closed my eyes and started counting. "1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6… 7… 8… 9… 10… 11… 12… 13… 14… 15… Ready or not, here I come!"

Everyone was exhausted. After an hour of playing, Hera had departed for bed. Chopper had gone to power off after two hours, leaving me and Ezra to play cards in the common room. The rain had turned to a small pitter patter and the storm was starting to pass. The boy yawned. "I think… I'm all out… of energy," he said tiredly.

I picked him up and said "There's just one thing I want to do before you go to sleep."

He leant his head against my shoulder as I climbed up the ladder leading to the turret. I sat on the chair and wiped the foggy glass. "Take a look," I whispered into his ear.

His eyes widened with wonder as he watched the lightning from a distance. "It's pretty," he murmured, staring at it with curiosity.

He put his hands up against the cool glass as purple, yellow and even blue bolts of lightning struck the horizon. "Sometimes, you just have to look at things from a different angle," I said, ruffling his hair.

He smiled and snuggled closer to me. "I don't think I'm afraid anymore," he mumbled, closing his eyes.

I rested my head gently on top of his. "Don't be afraid of anything. You'll be safe…"

I closed my eyes and whispered "…as long as you're with me."

Hey guys! The idea of Ezra being afraid of something was suggested by ElsaSkywalker! Thanks for the awesome idea, I hope it turned out well! I don't have much else to say so… may the force be with you, always!
