Tormented || Anakin Skywalker x Reader

47-Metaphorically Speaking

It's going to take a fucking miracle for Cal or I to forgive any of them.

Ahsoka placed a hand on his shoulder and his expression softened, but not as much as she probably hoped it would, "The audacity they have to send me anything." He mumbled as he laid his head back on his pillow and closed his eyes.

I stepped up to his bed side and placed my hand in his. His eyes opened quickly and met mine, now his emotions softened completely, "Nothing like that will ever happen to you again, I promise." I squeezed his hand.

There was a time where I never wanted a Padawan, but now that I have him, I grew a forbidden attachment. I now see why Master Yoda reacts the way he does when it comes to me, if he loves me even a fraction of how much I love this kid, then I completely understand his feelings.

He smiled and gave me a nod, "Nothing like that will ever happen to either of us again." He squeezed my hand back.

Ahsoka sighed from the other side of the bed, "Why don't we ever have moments like this Skyguy?" She glanced up at him and I held in a laugh when I released my hold on Cal.

He shrugged nonchalantly and I could already tell but the smirk growing on his features, that he was going to say something mean, "Because you're annoying Snips." Her jaw dropped and she attempted to punch him on the arm. He laughed and maneuvered his way away from her hit.

Little do they know, they do have moments such as this. It's just expressed differently within their bickering and playful fights. I know Anakin would do the same for her as I would for Cal. We both have come so far when it comes to our Padawans. We went from trying to ship them away in packages to becoming inseparable.

Ahsoka huffed as she crossed her arms, "I guess since I'm so annoying, I won't give you the present I got for you while you were away."

Anakin's expression dropped and he looked regretful, "You got me a present?"

She shrugged with a smirk that mirrored his own, "Not anymore." She spoke in a teasing voice as she began to leave the room.

"Wait Ahsoka I'm sorry!"He quickly followed behind her eagerly, "Tell me what it is!"

I shook my head at them with a laugh before giving my attention back to Cal, "So, how are you feeling?" I called a chair to scoot up behind me and took a seat by his bed.

He sat up a little to get more comfortable, "I'm fine Master, I'd much rather talk about something happy and exciting, like how you're getting married in three days." He nudged my shoulder with a smile and my eyes widened, I had completely forgotten that it was in three days.

Anakin's POV
Ahsoka turned around and held up a hand to stop me the second we were out of ear shot from Cal's room, "Of course I'm gonna give it to you Skyguy." She rolled her eyes playfully before pulling something out of her pocket and holding it out to me, "I just didn't want to hand it to you in front of (y/n)."

I furrowed my brows as I took it from her palm, "A USB drive?" I twisted it around in my fingers to get a better look at it, "Why are you giving me this?" I asked confusedly; turning my gaze back to meet hers for an explanation.

"That," She pointed to it with a proud smile on her features, "Has everything that is currently on the Chancellors computer." She revealed and my eyes widened with shock, but also excitement.

No wonder she didn't put up a fight when I told her she had to stay here, she had a devious plan of her own. I shot her a proud grin, "This is amazing snips, no one saw you thought right?" I questioned with worry; I love that she did this for me, but I don't want her safety to be at risk for this. We still don't know the whole truth, or what we may be dealing with.

She crossed her arms over her chest with a cocky smirk, "Nope, I was practically invisible."

"Good, do you know what's in this?" I asked as I glanced down the hallways to see if anyone could be possibly eavesdropping. When I saw no one, I placed the drive securely in my pocket.

She shook her head, "No, I just downloaded everything quickly and gout out, I wasn't sure how long the meeting was going to last. So I'm not really sure if there's anything of value."

I placed a hand on her shoulder with a grateful smile, "Thank you, I know you're trusting me blindly and I appreciate it more than you know."

She nodded with a smile of her own, "I'll always trust your judgement Master."

"See snips," I gripped her shoulder and pulled her into a side hug; which she returned by wrapping her arm around my back to hug me back, "We have moments too."

Don't worry, the Mace Windu drama isn't over just yet. 😉 I just couldn't have her beat his ass or kill him.. in front of the entire council, that's not very realistic IMO.
