senatuse spoke: ❝  you’re my person.  ❞

When angels spoke, you listened. As such, every time Padme so much as breathed, Anakin hung to her words like gospel. Three little ones this time, ones that he would treasure within his heart, ones that he would repeat in his mind when he was far from her, ones that would remind him always of the LOVE between them.

"You're my person."

Did she know what that meant to him? To belong to someone in a way that didn't remind him of arid heat and sand caught in the cracks of his skin? She must. Padme was smarter than he was.

"And you're mine," he prayed to her as he dared to press a kiss to her lips. Just a chaste gesture as he let the feeling of belonging overwhelm him. Such feelings always did. Anakin had gotten very good at hiding them beneath cocksure smiles, behind a confidence that seemed to be made of durasteel at times, but often was just a very plain glass.

If he could, he would hold her forever. But they both had duties that made them who they were. He could never ask Padme to stop being a Senator-- even if, some days, he wanted to run with her and never look back only to feel pangs of guilt at the mere idea of abandoning the war, the other Jedi... Of leaving behind Obi-Wan, Ahsoka... Rex.

he feels her almost instantly,       her presence in the force a tidal wave of nostalgia and agony it causes him to stumble slightly.     gently,     so as not to startle her,    he pokes her through the connection they once shared.      anakin used to do this during the clone wars as a way to let her know he’s safe    &    thinking about her.        the memories choke him harder than the smoke of mustafar ever could.

“ . “ just like that, she bows her head slightly in acknowledgement, in recognition. though she was far from an upstanding citizen before and after the fall, everybody knew padme amidala . more importantly she knew what the other represented for darth vader. and the old republic . and the rebellion. more importantly, perhaps, she was luke skywalker’s biological mother. “ it’s not fitting for former royalty to ask assistance from a smuggling freighter. IS IT? “

          nothing  of  the  question  should  surprise  him.      ever  since  becoming  privy  to  the  secret  that  his  general  and  senator  kept,    rex  had  known  there  were…      risky  aspects  to  the  situation.      still,    he  is  incapable  of  looking  at  her  with  a  modicum  of  shock  in  his  gaze,    mouth  set  in  a  thin  line  while  he  runs  the  question  through  his  mind.      every  mission  with  anakin  skywalker  had  seemed  to  only  prove  one  thing:      the  jedi  cared  more  than  he  should,    certainly  more  than  anyone  within  the  order  would  have  considered  safe.      but  rex  wasn’t  a  jedi,    and  he  certainly  couldn’t  deny  that  there  was  something  between  the  two  that  seemed  to  outshine  even  the  brightest  of  suns,    and  what  could  be  foolish  about  that?      lips  quirking  into  what  he  hopes  is  a  reassuring  smile,    rex  allows  himself  to  answer  gently.      “truthfully?    no,    i  don’t  think  so.”      for  anyone  to  love  and  let  themselves  be  loved  by  general  skywalker  was  not  a  surprise.      the  man  practically  bled  compassion  and  empathy,    giving  all  of  the  501st  and  anyone  who  came  across  him  much  needed  hope  in  bleak  times.      more  than  that,    rex  knew  that  between  the  two  of  them…      the  risk  was  worth  it,    it  had  to  be.      loving  padme  certainly  made  anakin  better,    gave  him  a  purpose  outside  of  the  war  that  seemed  every  day  to  take  a  little  more  from  all  of  them.

"Next time you plan on risking your life like that, warn me!" Sabé snapped, she had one job and that was keeping her senator and best friend alive.
