(y/n)'s/Izdaja's POV
"If you're going to wield it, you need to know how to use it." Maul paced around me with his dark blade in hand. I was using the new blade that was given to me by Rey. The special thing about it was that with the press of a button, another crimson blade came from the other end. Making it a double lightsaber. I've wielded two at a time before but not one like this. So using it was new to me and Maul was trying to train me.
He advanced towards me and I deflected his attacks with twists and turns, using both ends as he taught me. I left an opening on accident and he kicked my leg causing me to fall on my stomach. I smacked the floor in frustration, "Damn it." I growled as I pushed myself up.
He scoffed with an eye roll, "You need to watch your legs."
"Funny coming from someone who doesn't have any." I rolled my eyes and he force shoved me into the wall.
"Another stupid comment like that and I'll take yours too." He threatened and I stood up so I could get in his face.
"Do it then." I dared and I felt the force push us apart a few feet.
"Enough." Rey walked into the room. "You're supposed to train not fight." She glared at Maul who narrowed his eyes at her.
"Fine let's get this over with." Maul mumbled and
got into a stance.
But I didn't, his choice of words triggered a memory and it started to play in my head like a movie.
Flashback(this takes place during (y/n)'s training that I skipped past with the one month time jump. So it's before they married and before her first mission to Naboo.)
"Stop Anakin someone will see." I gently pushed him off of me. We were currently in the training room and the door was left open.
"I can't help it," He placed soft kisses on my neck causing me to giggle at the tingling feeling it gave me, "You're so beautiful, it's impossible to keep my hands off of you." His hands roamed my body and he gripped onto my hips tightly, pulling me hard against him. He lifted one of his hands without breaking his lips from my neck and with one wave, the door to the room closed.
"Anakin," I moaned his name as his kisses intensified. He pulled away from my neck and brought his lips to mine, my heart was racing like it always did when we would be this close.
"I love you so much (y/n)." He whispered against my lips.
"I love you too." I responded barely breaking my lips from his.
He tore his lips away from me and we were both breathing heavily, he placed a hand on my neck and looked lovingly in my eyes, "I'm going to marry you one day." (GIF ABOVE)
I smiled, "Mrs.(y/n) Skywalker, I like the sound of that."
"So do I." He chuckled and he was about to bring his lips back to mine when I stopped him.
"As much as I want to keep doing this, I promised Obi-Wan we would actually train today." I placed my hand on his chest and pushed him, even though all I wanted was to have him hold me.
"Do we have to?" He sighed and tried to wrap his arms around me.
I nodded giving him another little push, "Yes now come on." I walked past him and I heard him groan in annoyance.
"Fine let's get this over with."
Flashback ends.
I blinked a few times like I was coming out of a trance and I saw Mauls blade inches from my face, I backed up but not in time. The blade sliced across my left cheek, from the bottom of my eye to the corner of my lip. I shouted in pain and gripped my face where the burnt flesh was. "Maybe you should pay attention." He huffed as he retracted his blade.
I was walking fast towards him, gripping my blade in my hand. "You son of a bit-" But I was stopped by Rey.
"Stop." She grabbed onto my arm and pulled me out of the room, "Let's get that cleaned up." She pulled me into my room and I sat on the bed as she went to get an alcohol wipe. I sighed as I remembered why I had gotten distracted in the first place. Why was I thinking about him now? I was doing fine for weeks. "Alright, don't flinch away from me." She came back into the room and started to dap the pad on my cheek. It burned, but I stayed in place and didn't show any pain. "What happened in there?" She asked, continuing to sterilize my cheek.
"It was nothing I just got lost in thought for a second." I admitted and I kept my gaze away from hers but I could feel her eyes on me like she was waiting for me to explain more.
She tossed the wipe to the side and began adding a cream to it. I winced at the coldness, "What exactly were you thinking about?" She questioned.
"My training." I lied, I didn't want to tell her what really went through my head.
Rey's POV
She's lying, it was obvious.
Whatever she was thinking about wasn't good. I saw her eyes shifting colors before Maul cut her cheek.
I had this feeling it had to do with Skywalker and as long as he was alive there was always going to be a small amount of conflict inside of her. She still loved him, that much I knew, even if she was oblivious to her own feelings. She's convinced herself that she hates him but there is a very thin line between love and hate.
I'm going to have to send Savage to take care of him. It shouldn't be too difficult since I found out that hes been spending most of his nights drinking his feelings away. Let's just hope that big dumb fool that Maul insists on keeping around doesn't fail. And as for her, I was going to have to take her on a little trip.
"Rey." I heard her mumble and I looked up at her and she held a sick look on her face.
"What's wrong?" I questioned, backing up and before she could respond she leaned forward and threw up on the floor.
Anakin's POV
We watched the footage on the holotable and it showed Rey going into the room and stealing the message from Damon so no one else could see it.
She planned this whole thing from the beginning. She was always going to use that footage so (y/n) would believe that the council abandoned her. I felt my blood boil with anger, "I'm going to kill her." I slammed my fist onto the table causing Cody and Obi-Wan to jump.
"Or we could just arrest her like civilized people." My former Master commented causing me to shoot him an annoyed glare.
"We'll see." I mumbled and turned to leave the room.
"Where are you going?" He questioned as I made my way to the door.
"To give Padme the update." I responded and left the room. Padme had asked me to come to her with anything that I've learned about (y/n). I hopped in my yellow speeder and made my way to the Senate building. I know she misses (y/n) as much as I do and feels extremely guilty for how things have gone. She was her best friend after all.
I arrived at her apartment and I stepped into her living room that was surprisingly empty, "Padm-" I began to shout her name but I stopped when a familiar soldier of mine walked out from the hallway. Our eyes met and he stopped walking instantly as his eyes widened slightly.
"General Skywalker." He mumbled in surprise.
"Rex. What are you doing here?" I questioned with curiosity in my voice. Although I had a theory already.
He turned to look behind him awkwardly then back to me, "I was um, helping the Senator clean her kitchen."
I furrowed my brows together at his obvious lie, "One, the kitchen is over there," I pointed to my right to the kitchen door, "And two, Padme doesn't clean."I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Rex I found the loofah!" The woman in question appeared behind him with a smile on her face that quickly dropped when she saw me and her eyes widened, "Uh hey Anakin, what's up." She did her best to act nonchalant. "Rex is just helping me... redo the bathroom." She nodded like she herself believed that was a good lie.
I raised my brow at the pair, "Interesting, Rex here said you were cleaning the kitchen." I smirked as my eyes shifted between them.
This is amazing.
She nodded, "Yeah that too." And I thought (y/n) was a terrible liar, but these two take the trophy.
"And you need a loofah for that?" I chuckled and they both shared an awkward look before Padme threw the loofah behind her into the hallway. "How long has this been going on?"
"Two weeks." She mumbled in embarrassment that I caught them and Rex intertwined his fingers with hers, causing her to look up and smile at him.
"I'm sorry we didn't tell you General, we wanted to figure things out first before telling anyone." He frowned as he apologized, looking guilty.
I waved my hand, "You don't need to explain anything to me, Im happy for you two." I gave them a small smile. I really was happy for them. But looking at them together right now reminded me of (y/n) during our first weeks together. Suddenly the urge to have a drink took over as I started to feel the familiar ache in my chest.
"You came for a reason though," Padme pulled me out of my thoughts, "Is there something you need to tell me?"
I shook my head, "No it can wait, I'll come back tomorrow evening. Enjoy your loofah." I smirked and her cheeks grew red as Rex let out a chuckle.
"Okay, goodnight Anakin." She pulled on Rex's arm to lead him back to wherever they came from.
"Night General." He spoke in his accent as he followed behind her with a grin on his face.
I watched them both walk away and I imagined (y/n) giggling as I pulled her into our favorite make-out locations.
Force I missed her so much.
I jumped in my speeder and headed to the one place I wanted to be.
The bar.
I walked into the familiar setting and sat down at the same stool I sat in every night. The bartender, without asking what I wanted since he already knew, set a glass in front of me as I placed the credits down for him to grab. He gave me a sad smile before turning to the rest of his customers.
I drank glass after glass as I thought of her smile, the feeling of her kisses, the warmth of her hugs, the sweetness of her scent, and the beautiful sound of her giggles. A tear fell down my cheek as I thought of everything there is to love about her.
I sighed as I waved for drink number nine. I no longer felt the burn so I knew I was pretty far gone. I leaned against the bar with my head in my hands, "So who am I calling tonight?" The bartender asked me and I looked up to him as he took the empty glass. He placed it behind him which is how I knew he was cutting me off.
"No one." I slurred as I stood up. I stumbled slightly but gripped onto the bar to keep myself from falling, "I drove."
He chuckled, "You're not driving." He held up a pair of keys and I started to touch my pockets and I realized the keys he was holding were mine.
I looked at him in disbelief, "How dare you steal from me, I am a Jedi." I slurred as I tried to look intimidating. But ultimately failed when I tripped over my own foot and fell, knocking the stool I was sitting in over when I tried to grab it for support.
I heard him sigh, "Your speeder will be safe here til tomorrow, I'm calling Obi-Wan." I finally was able to stand up and I saw him on a call talking to someone, "Yeah he's here, eight of them." I took this opportunity while he was distracted to exit into the alleyway.
I gripped onto the wall for support as I continued to walk down the alley. I didn't know where I was going, I had no destination in mind. I just knew I didn't want to be at that temple. Everything in there reminded me of her. The lobby where I first saw her, the cafeteria where we used to eat together and tell jokes that would make her throw a piece of food at me due to my dark humor, the training room where we did so many wonderful 'activities', the room we shared, the hallways we'd walk down or run down when we tried hiding from Obi-Wan. I could go on forever, I was in so much pain, I wanted to die.
Is this how she felt? If it is then I wouldn't want anything to do with me either.
I looked ahead of me and saw the silhouette of a person standing near the exit of the alleyway. I couldn't make out who they were due to my intoxicated state, but they started to walk towards me. I got a bad feeling from whoever they were and attempted to turn around. I'm not one to run from a fight but I know damn well that I wouldn't win in this condition. I started to pick up my pace as I used the wall for support. Suddenly, I felt a tight grip on the back of my neck and I was lifted and thrown into the wall on the opposite side.
Obi-Wan's POV
"Why would this idiot leave." I growled in frustration. The bartender just informed me that just after our call, Anakin had disappeared. I pulled the tracker out of my pocket that I stole from him incase something like this happened. It's the one he had for (y/n) and since she left, he's been wearing her ring and crystal along his neck with his ring. I saw that he was just outside in the alleyway and I sighed with relief that he wasn't far.
I pushed the door open to the alley and I heard a pained whimper. I turned to my head to the left to see Anakin on the floor in a bloodied state with bruises on his face and a busted lip. Standing over him was Savage holding up a lightsaber like he was about to impale him.
Panic took over my body and I ran towards them.
But I was too late.
He brought the lightsaber down and pierced it through Anakin's abdomen, he let out a cry of pain.
"No!" I shouted in rage as I rushed to the pair, Savage turned to look at me but in one swift movement I pushed my blue blade through his chest. Not giving him a single chance to attack me or run.
His eyes widened and he fell to the floor with a loud thud.
I heard Anakin gasping and I knelt down next to him. I pulled him onto my lap and attempted to heal him, but it wasn't working. Damn it, I wasn't strong enough to heal him. The only person who was strong enough with the force to force heal was Anakin. I could barely heal a paper cut. Only when we did it together was the only time I was ever successful.
"You idiot, you should have stayed inside." Tears came to my eyes as I felt his life force weaken.
He let out a weak chuckle, "I'm sorry." His eyes began to close but I slapped him so they would open again, he groaned from the impact but his eyes opened back up. I shouted for someone to help and when the bartender peaked out of the door I told him to call the temple medics. He rushed back inside to do just that.
"It's okay, you're gonna be just fine." I brushed his hair out of his face and he slowly looked up to meet my eyes.
"When she comes back, tell her I love her." He spoke in almost a whisper.
I shook my head. "No you'll tell her yourself, you are going to be fine Anakin." I felt like I was trying to convince myself more than him.
He gave a little smile, "I love you too," He tried closing his eyes, but once again I slapped him. He whined and opened his eyes.
"Stop slapping me." He muttered in annoyance.
"Stop trying to leave me." I responded as I caressed his cheek. Images of him as a little boy causing mayhem in the temple appeared in my mind.
I can't even remember the amount of times I had an angry council member knock on my door with little Anakin standing right behind them with a smirk, always proud of the chaos he caused.
"They're back here!" I heard the familiar voice of the bartender which was followed by the sounds of running footsteps and a rolling gurney.
The medics appeared in front of us and they took Anakin out of my arms and placed him up on the gurney. "You better save him." I growled, there were no other options, he wasn't going to die on me.
They gave me a nod, "We'll do our best." They rolled him away and placed him in a van to take him back to the temple medical ward.
Leaving me alone in this alley with the body of Savage and covered in the blood of the person I love most in the galaxy
