(Don't Deserve You by Plumb🎶 This song inspired this entire chapter!! When it came on I immediately imagined this scene happening! I feel it's exactly how (y/n) feels it's also the song that plays when they dance! Enjoy🥰)

Lida and I are currently on the elevator heading up to Padmé's apartment and I have BD-1 on my shoulder. I tried to tell him to stay in the temple but he wasn't having it, he was a sassy little thing. Lida keeps playing peek-a-boo with him and he's ducking behind my hair every time she does it. I gave out a chuckle every time he would beep at her, he was so cute.

We arrived to Padmé's and she greeted us with a hug, "and who is this?" She beamed referring to BD-1. She pat him and he shook happily in response.

"He's my new droid his name is BD-1." I responded as Lida and I made our way to the couch.

"He's just adorable, maybe he can be friends with 3PO." She chuckled and sat on the chair in front of us.

Before I could ask her who 3PO was a golden protocol droid slowly walked into the room, "Did you call me miss Padmé?"

"No 3PO but since you're here why don't you take BD-1 with you while the girls and I get ready for the party." She gestures towards the small droid that was still sitting casually on my shoulder and he was looking over to 3PO.

"Of course miss Padmé, come along BD," BD-1 jumped from my shoulder onto the floor and followed the golden droid into another room, "I can show you how to fix up some drinks." 3PO continued.

"Beep-Boop."

"What do you mean you don't have hands?" 3PO responded and we all let out a laugh and then we could no longer hear the droids.

"Okay," Padme clapped her hands together before standing up and walking towards a door. She opened it and started to pull out racks of dresses. There had to have been over a hundred dresses to choose from and my eyes went wide. "You ready (y/n)?" She turned to face me and she had a huge grin plastered on her face and I swallowed nervously.

"Let's do it."

A few hours later and Padme was finished with my makeup as well as her own and Lida's. She chose a dress for me and it was beautiful and red how ironic. It was strapless and the top part was a little tight but the bottom flowed beautifully.
(This is the dress I imagine but you can imagine anything you want!)

Padme helped put the dress on me and Lida squealed at the finished result, "(y/n) you look so beautiful!" She exclaimed. The dress Lida was wearing was a pretty simple blue one that had no straps and a leg slit. Padme was wearing a gold dress that flowed almost like mine but hers had laced long sleeves.

I looked down at myself In the dress and smiled. I felt like a normal girl for once and I felt beautiful. "You both look beautiful as well." I complimented them.

"True," Padme laughed, "But you (y/n) look so pretty, there isn't going to be a single man in Coruscant who won't want to dance with you." She winked at me.

"Skywalker." Lida spoke but tried to used a cough to hide what she said and she smiled innocently at me when I narrowed my eyes at her.

Padme chucked again and started to walk outside towards her balcony where she had a driver ready with a speeder, "Let's go ladies, I don't want to be late for my own party."

I said my goodbyes to BD who I was going to leave here with 3PO and headed outside to meet my friends.

Anakin's POV
"Did I really need to wear this stupid thing." I complained as I pulled on my collar to take off the bow tie I felt choking me and tossed it under a table.

Obi-Wan shook his head, "You complain too much." I narrowed my eyes at him as he took a sip of his drink and his eyes drifted up towards the entrance of the room. "You might want to take a look." He tapped me on the shoulder and I drew my gaze over to where he was talking about.

Then I saw her. In a beautiful dress that complimented her perfectly. She looked absolutely stunning. The most beautiful woman in the galaxy.

"Breathe Anakin." Obi-Wan pat me on the back and I let out a breathe of air that I didn't even realize I was holding. I still never took my eyes off of her and then her eyes shifted and she met my gaze.

(y/n)'s POV
I met his gaze and I caught my breathe in my throat. He looked perfect, I could see his crystal blue eyes fixated on me as he trailed them up and down looking at my dress. I quickly looked away and walked to a table to get a drink with Lida.

I needed to keep my distance away from him. I was only planning to stay for a little bit and then I was gonna slip away and tell them I got food poisoning or something.

After about an hour of socializing with random people I prepared myself for my lie. I've been here long enough and I needed to go before Anakin finds me. I've been dodging him all night and slipping through the crowds so he could no longer see me.

"Care for a dance?" An unfamiliar male voice came from behind me and I turned to meet the face of someone I didn't recognize. He had his hand held out for me but before I could accept or reject I felt a familiar presence come beside me.

"No she wouldn't." I looked over to see Anakin glaring daggers at the man. He quickly retracted his hand and mumbled an apology before pacing away.

"Anakin what the hell, you can't do things like that." I scolded him and he seemed unaffected as he just stared into my eyes.

He held out his hand, "Dance with me." He gave me a small smile and I shook my head in response.

"No Anakin, I already told you this wasn't going to happen." I moved my eyes away so I couldn't see him get his feelings hurt but instead he chuckled at me and I snapped my head up to him surprised.

"Your words say one thing," he grabbed my hand and walked me to the dance floor, "But your emotions tell me another." He placed a hand on my hip and intertwined his fingers with mine with the other one.

"Just one dance." I mumbled annoyed while avoiding his gaze.

(CUE THE MUSIC)
I could feel my heart beating rapidly against my chest as we swayed with the music. "Thank you for BD-1," I finally spoke, "He's perfect." I smiled.

"No need to thank me." He pulled me closer to him and I felt my breathing stop, he was looking intently into my eyes and I couldn't stop myself from staring back. It was like everything in me was consumed by him in that moment. "You're the most beautiful woman in this room." He brought his hand up slowly from my hip and brushed my hair behind my ear.

"Stop." I whispered weakly, I needed him to stop but I didn't want him to. The emotions I'm feeling are overwhelming me and I wasn't sure if I was strong enough to do what I had to do if I let him be this close to me.

"You don't mean that." He spun me around the floor and I could feel there were eyes on us as he twirled me in a circle and pulled me even closer when I faced him again.

"You don't want me Anakin." I shook my head and looked down towards the floor.

He used his hand to pull my chin up so I could look back into his beautiful eyes, "I've wanted you since the moment I saw you." He gently used his thumb to stroke my jawline.

I felt myself wanting to cry at his words, I wanted him too. So much that it was killing me right now not kiss him.

"You don't understand, I don't deserve you." I felt the tears starting to come out as I was finally letting my true emotions be released. "You would be better without me, trust me."

"You don't deserve me?" He gave me a confused look before continuing, "(y/n) it's me who doesn't deserve you, you're prefect in every way."

"No I'm not." I started to pull away from him but he grasped me with his hands so I couldn't be free.

"Please just talk to me," he pleaded and I could start to see the hurt in his eyes, the hurt I was trying so hard to avoid. "I want to be with you more than anything and if it's the council you're worried about then don't. Everything will be okay as long as we have each other." He gently squeezed my hand.

I closed my eyes to try and stop the tears but it was no use. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't. I kept reminding myself that no matter what, the Jedi,
Anakin, Padmé, Lida, and all of Coruscant will never accept me, a Sith. My fate was sealed the second my life was placed into Dookus hands.

I finally pulled my arms away from him and ran out of the the building, luckily the temple wasn't very far so I ran there. I got a few quizzical glances from the citizens, I must have looked like a crazy person running full speed in a dress and heels.

I finally reached the temple. Once I got to my room I closed the door without looking into my room and I placed my forehead on the door as I caught my breathe.

"You could have taken a speeder." I jumped and turned around to see Anakin sitting on my bed.

"I told you to stop this." I almost shouted.

"No." Was all he said when he stood and walked closer to me and I could feel my back pressing against the door in order to further my distance from him. "I know you want this just as much as I do, you're just afraid." He placed his mechanical arm by the side of my face and he leaned closer to me and I felt myself stop breathing, for the hundredth time tonight.

"Please Anakin," I stared into his eyes and I could seee him searching me for my emotions, "This is what's best for us, you might not understand now, but one day you will." I begged.

"Then stop me." He whispered low as his lips inched closer to mine and I felt my heart in my chest quicken. He stopped when his lips were barely grazing mine, "Come on (y/n) if you don't want this then stop me right now and I'll go." His normal hand creeped up and he used it to cup my face.

We sat there for what felt like minutes and it was only seconds, I had so many thoughts running through my mind. They were screaming at me to push him away and I almost did but a different emotion took over my body.

Before he could do it himself I leaned forward and pressed my lips to his. I felt like fire was shooting through my entire body as we fell into this kiss. All my worries washed away from me and I got lost in the moment. I didn't think of Dooku, the mission, or any of my fears. I just thought of him and the happiness I was feeling by having my very first kiss with someone as amazing as Anakin Skywalker. The man I was supposed to kill, I don't think that's something that is ever going to happen, I'll die before I do.

We parted for a moment and he stared into my eyes with pure adoration. He then crashed his lips back to mine, this kiss was more passionate and his hands moved to my hips as he pressed me into the door. I used my hands to roam my fingers through his hair.

He gripped my hips tighter and growled against my mouth before picking me and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He turned me around and pushed me onto the bed before he crawled on top of me and put his lips to mine again and I could feel his hand trailing from neck down to my thigh. We laid there getting lost in this perfect moment before he broke our kiss and we both gasped for air. He used his normal hand to gently caress my face, "Ive loved you from the moment I saw you (y/n). The things you make me feel are unlike anything I've ever experienced. I truly love you"

I glared into his eyes without saying anything for a few seconds before I reached my hand up and I stroked his cheek, "I love you too." I surprised myself , I said it back without really thinking about it, because I did I loved him. This unfamiliar feeling, the one I've l been feeling around him, had to be love. I felt truly and utterly consumed by him.
There wasn't anything I wanted more in the galaxy than to be in his arms.

I knew in this moment, that everything was going to change. He needed to know the truth and I had to hope that he would accept me. To accept that I'm capable of change.

I broke our kiss and I heard him whimper at the loss of contact in response, "Anakin?"

"Yes my love?" He glared into my eyes with pure adoration.

"There's something I need to tell you."
