Baby .... I want to read something like this where we have a picnic day with our beautiful general in a meadow with pretty flowers all around us. Anakin with his head in our lap as we stroke his wavy hair, put little flowers on him as he sleeps with a smile. A contrast of the strong general he usually is. đđđđ
It can be on Alderaan or Naboo wherever you prefer.

THE SUN WAS WARM ON NABOO THAT AFTERNOONâGENTLE AND GOLDEN. It was the kind that made you want to stretch out in a field and forget the rest of the galaxy existed. And, for once, Anakin had let you pull him away from everything. No comms, no strategy meetings, no troopers needing orders. Just you, him, your love, and the open meadow dotted with wildflowers.
The basket you packed was practically forgotten by now, just a few feet away, and half-emptied. Anakin had eaten exactly one pastry you made this morning before mumbling something about being tired and dropping straight into the grass with a groan. Youâd tried not to laugh as he made himself comfortable, his head ending up in your lap like it belonged there.
Which, at this point, it does.
So many nights and days have been spent with his head on your lap, with your fingers carding gently through his hair. It's a solace of his he's never thought he'd ever get to experience. But, Force, he thanks the stars that he does.
It's what he looks forward to every time he gets to come back home to you. The feeling of your warm embrace and your touch, letting him know that he's finally safe.
Now he was dozing, one arm lazily wrapped around your lower back as you sit up in the grass, the other draped across his chest. His breathing was slow and even, and you could tell by the way his fingers twitched every now and then that he wasnât fully asleep, but definitely far enough to let his eyes get the rest they desperately need.
You run your fingers through his soft, sandy curls, brushing them back from his forehead as the breeze rolled over the field. A soft smile pulled at the edges of your lips as you picked a few of the little flowers near your legsâdaisies, mostlyâand started tucking them gently into his hair. It was dumb. Silly. But he looked so peaceful like this, how could you resist?
And it definitely doesn't help how angelic he looks just about now. How could he ever be the one to call you an angel when he looks like this?
He mumbled something under his breath as you brushed a petal against his cheek, gently weaving them into his hair.
âHm?â You hum questioningly, your thumb caressing his cheek gently.Â
ââS nothing,â he murmured, still barely awake. âKeep doing that.â
You bit back a smile, brushing your fingers through his hair again, this time more deliberately. He sighed so gently, the way it sounded so reverent in it's own way. Like it was the first time heâd let himself exhale all week.Â
It was a relieving contrast, seeing him like this. The man who usually stood so cocky and commanding, voice sharp and full of purpose, now curled into you like a tired little boy. His boots were off, his tunic soft and rumpled from where youâd tugged it earlier, teasing him for still dressing like he was about to lead his battalion into a war.
âYou donât look like a general right now,â you said softly, just thinking out loud as your fingers trace his every delicate feature.Â
One of his lids opened, letting you see one of those ocean eyes that hold so much depth to them, the very ones you fell so deeply in love with.
The way he looked up at you held so much passion, that it was hard to express, and it made your very heart tighten. How could a man love so deeply, that you can see it even with only one of his eyes?
The corners of his mouth twitch, opening both eyes now as his lashes flutter a little, trying to blink the drowsiness away. âGood.â He murmurs.
You blinked. âGood?â You ask, a small laugh in your voice.Â
Anakin shifted a little, turning his face so his cheek was pressed fully against your thigh, as that boyish grin you love so much appears on his face. âI donât want to be a general when Iâm with you.â
His tone hit you in a way you werenât expecting. It's so gentle, honest. So utterly adoring.Â
You let yourself trace the edge of his jaw with your thumb, watching the way his eyes fluttered closed again, thick lashes resting. âThen what are you when youâre with me?â
He was quiet for a moment, taking in deep breaths as he relishes in the peaceâthe peace of you.
âJust⊠me.â He replies in a whisper.Â
While his words are so simple, you know him well enough to know how much meaning they really convey. And truly, he finds that he can just be when he's with youâthat he can show his flaws and not be berated for them like he's been his whole life. That you'll love him despite it all, and that's everything to him.
Your heart did a little flip. You didnât say anything, just leaned down and pressed a kiss to his temple. He hummed in approval and relaxed even further, like he could melt right into you.
After a while, his voice floated up again, low and drowsy. âAre there flowers in my hair?â
He huffed, but there was no real protest. âYouâre ridiculous.â He grins, though you know he doesn't mean it. If anything, he's enjoying this. A little too much at that.Â
âAnd youâre beautiful.â You giggle, twirling one of his curls around your pointer finger.
The sound is music to his ears, and it makes his grin only grow wider. He's really found his peace. What would he do without that melodic sound that keeps him tethered to this very ground?
âYouâre making it really hard to go back to the Temple after this,â he said, voice barely above a whisper now.
You kissed the top of his head and smiled against his curls. âGood.â You whisper back, wanting to keep him here in your arms forever. He's always told you that's a dream of his, to be able to never leave your embrace.
It's moments like these that Anakin knows he's found his home in a person. He cherishes these memories with every piece of him, and enjoys them with every fragment of his heart.Â
How could he not? He's with the woman he loves more than every star in the galaxy combined, the one he holds so dearly. The one that he breathes the very air for, lives his life to see. Just your presence lights a flame in his heart he doesn't know if he deserves.Â
But you let him know he deserves it, you always do.Â
And under the blue Naboo sky, Anakin let himself restâknowing he's safe, loved, and wrapped in a kind of peace he didnât think heâd ever be able to have. Not in this life.
But somehow, with you, he's able to.
