In the early days of your Jedi training, you often found it difficult to connect with the other Padawans. Often feeling like an outsider amongst those who advanced quickly, no amount of wisdom from Master Yoda could ease your self doubt.

That was until you met Anakin.

The boy from Tatooine who was encouraged by his mother—Shmi—to go off with the Jedi to Coruscant, to learn their ways and train to become a Knight because of the greatness she imagined for his future.

Instantly, you became acquainted with one another and as the years passed, the further your bond grew.

Of course, the excessive amount of warnings about attachment were infuriating but, it still didn't stop the two of you from finding discreet ways to see each other even after the Masters expressed their worry about your friendship.

Which led to the present, it was the night before you both were assigned to protect Senator Amidala alongside his Master. It was natural for one to be nervous.

Anakin lay awake in his quarters, the amount of tossing and turning he did within his bed did no justice to help the nerves within him.

So, he got out of bed, putting on his robe just before he exited his quarters. Without a second thought, he made way to yours—which were not very far from his.

It was no surprise his first notion was to seek you out. For the years you’ve been in each other’s company, he knew he could trust you to another galaxy and back. You offered him a safe space, a shoulder to rest his head on—he cherished that greatly.

Upon entering your quarters, his footsteps were silent out of fear he might disturb you. At the minor chance of abruptly waking you, he wanted to be careful. The last thing he wanted was to spook you awake.

“Are you awake?” he inquired with a whisper as he stood at your bedside.
