cyclicalbalance· ANAKIN SKYWALKER
A starter for @soughtpeace·,
As the sunset inevitably crept its way over Coruscant, the young Jedi Knight slipped away from the stifling clutches of the Academy, recklessly stealthy in his pursuit of his rendezvous. How could so pure an emotion–so strong, potent, and powerful–stray him from his path? Why was it wrong to pursue what he could only describe as right? Such thoughts strayed through Anakin’s mind as he reflected on the teachings of the Jedi, unable to fathom why to harbor love–that overwhelming and blazing feeling beneath his chest–was to court the Dark Side. Did the Jedi not love one another? Look to their kin as family? Was this creed not built upon such principles?
Much as he embraced their ideology, some pieces simply did not fit together for the young Knight. Surely even the most devout Jedi Master had fallen and embraced such emotions at one point in their life? Anakin did not wish to begin to imagine a life without this passion now that he’d kindled the flame with Padme.
As he quietly parked his cruiser close to her balcony–just out of view to surprise her–he leapt from below with a bounding Force Jump and landed only with the slightest of thuds as he tentatively approached the glass door. He glanced around, listening to the rush of the hums of thousands of cruisers zipping past, reaching out into the Force to determine whether or not he was followed, or if danger–something the Senator was no stranger to–was lurking nearby. Satisfied that they were alone and Padme was safe, he leaned in the threshold as the doors slid open, smirking instantly as he found her managing her hair in her silent solace. “You know, if I was an assassin, you’d be in trouble right about now.” He announced his presence, smirking as he knew she could see him in the reflection of the mirror.
oh the wait and the blaze of a forbidden love , the fear of being caught and end up ruining anakin’s chance to fulfil his destiny as a jedi — but also the selfish happiness that came with the idea of being in his arms once again . she remained devoted to her mission and purpose on coruscant , but her focus faltered now and then , her mind strayed away to the more enthusiastic prospect of seeing her secretly husband later that day — and who could blame her ? she was in love regardless , it being a dangerous relationship or not wouldn’t put an end to their feelings towards each other , she was certain of that .
padmé expected anakin at some point the moment the sun started to set , exactly when she had no way to know , however , but she begins undressing the heavy senator dresses and undoing her usual beautiful hairstyle . she’s removing the last of what felt like a thousand hairpins from her hair when a certain stealthy jedi makes his presence known - no doubt a surprise that makes her heart jump but one that’s quickly converted into a happy one . she shoots him a delighted smile through the mirror , her voice not faltering though her heart still beat fast . “ lucky me it is only my husband giving me a fright and nearly scaring me to death ..! ” words spoken in a light mood and a playful tone that end with a faint giggle before she gets up to walk towards him and relish on that moment she had been waiting for all day .
knowing there was absolutely no one that would dare walk into her room like he’s just had , she knew it was safe to go straight for a passionate kiss even though the smile that remained glued onto her lips seemed to get in the way . “ this is very concerning , master skywalker , what if i was indecent . ”
