Me and I are not friends. She is only an acquaintance.

SUNSET KISS by Adam Brockbank

"How does one get seduced by the dark side? I was very intrigued by that; it's such an interesting concept. Because with seduction, you have empathy and vulnerability. And that was really appealing to me, because we never really see that in the Sith or in the dark side. It was a lot to explore." - Manny Jacinto

But then…there’s Osha. 

Osha, who leans into him in the shelter of a doorway from the rain on Jabiim, caught in bad weather while buying necessities. Without even thinking, like a reflex he’s had for years, he curls his arm around her, tucking her in close to his side and away from the rain as they wait for the downpour to subside. She inhales, sharp and quiet, the arm not pressed to his side reaching up to touch his coat.

They both look at eachother, a little shocked at their placement, and neither move to change it.

He smiles. It pulls at the corners of his mouth before he can stop it. He watches as her eyes soften, her weight settled comfortably against him, and she smiles too. Her fingers tangle in the fabric of his coat, like she finally had permission.

(she always did)

They both turn away as her cheeks flush, looking at the sodden sky as they wait.
