Vader took a deep breath, savoring your presence. His embrace around you relaxing. Normally, the Sith Lord would be at the helm of his ship, barking orders at the pilots, staring into the never ending space ahead of them. Now, however, he was perfectly content to sit here, wrapped up in you, the only person in his entire miserable existence that he didn't have to lie to.

Vader closed his eyes behind the helmet, savoring the feeling of having you close to him. You are the light in the darkness, he heard himself murmur, the words slipping from his lips as if they were made to speak them, the only one who can bring me back from the brink. Without you, I feel as if I am nothing.
