Dating Anakin was complicated, but not for the reasons you expected. You thought it would mostly be worrying about him on missions, which, admittedly, that was part of it. But the biggest anomaly to Anakin Skywalker? Не refused to hold your hand. Every time you two did anything together, he would hold your wrist and when you tried to hold his hand, he'd just maneuver to hold your wrist again.

You just didn't understand. Why is he so scared to hold your hand? Eventually, you got fed up with it, and now you two were sitting on the floor of the Jedi Temple courtyard, working up the courage to not only ask him but to ask him without getting upset, crying, or yelling at him.

Eventually, you gathered the courage to ask, and his answer? It was unexpected, if you were being honest.

"If I hold your hand, then I can't understand you."

He said it, leaving you in your own confusion until he finally spoke up again, looking lost as he tried to find the proper way to word his meaning.

"When I hold your hand, it's hard to know what you're feeling. Holding your wrist, I can feel your pulse- and the way you breathe. It tells me when you're excited, or nervous... it helps me understand you."
