TW: Mild sexual content. Otherwise, carry on.

(a/n): Also this chapter is pretty much just a filler because I wanted you to see the experience of moving in with Ani hehe.

(y/n) POV:

"I'm sorry, what?" I asked Obi-Wan with a stunned expression.

Did I hear him correctly? There's no way he just said that Anakin and I were going to be roommates.

Obi-Wan nodded in understanding of my confusion, "I said, you two will be roommates. We want to see what the results will be if you are both physically near each other for longer periods of time than usual. We don't know why your bond was damaged in the first place, but perhaps you both can find a way to keep it strong as you spend additional time with each other."

Oh God. Is this really happening right now?

I nodded but I was still lost in my own thoughts. Anakin and I would be sharing quarters, which sounds like a dream and a nightmare at the same time. I can't even begin to imagine everything that might happen if we're going to be alone together for that long. But I pushed those thoughts aside for now.

Obi-Wan sighed, "I know it may be strange for a while, but we have faith that you'll make this work."

I stiffened and nodded quickly, "Us too. Is that all?"

This was all so awkward and I just wanted to leave. I didn't even look to see Anakin's reaction yet because I know he was probably thinking the same things as me, and looking at him would just make this weirder.

Yoda nodded and lifted his cane, "Dismissed, you are."

He turned his head to look directly at me, "Talk about this more, we will. Start packing, you should."

I nodded again and Anakin and I both said a quick goodbye, then left the room side by side. It was silent for a few seconds before Anakin cleared his throat to get my attention. I looked over at him and saw that he was side glancing at me and failing at trying to hide a smile.

I rolled my eyes, "Don't say it."

This time he started to laugh, "Don't say what?"

I sighed, "Whatever you're about to say, just don't say it."

I turned my head back forward and pulled my hood over myself a bit more so that he couldn't see the smile forming on my lips.

"Okay." He said innocently, "Then I'll say something else."

Suddenly he appeared right in front of me, causing me to stop in my tracks and take a step back. He smirked down at me and loomed over my smaller form.

"Why is your hood up?" He asked in a razzing tone, one that admittedly made my heart flutter. By the way he was looking at me, I could tell he already knew the answer to his own question, but he wanted to hear it from me. I didn't want to make this easy for him, though. Not after that charade he pulled at the party.

I shrugged naturally, hoping it didn't seem weird, "I'm cold."

Anakin chuckled, "Inside of the Temple? And during Coruscant's warmest season?"

I nodded and pushed past him, heading for my room to get my things. I didn't want to give him this satisfaction. Not yet, at least. I speed-walked into my own quarters and grabbed the bag that I had taken to Padmé's apartment. It was already filled with some of my belongings so I didn't have much packing to do. I grabbed my lightsaber and some lotions that I left on my nightstand when I heard footsteps behind me.

I sighed but didn't turn around, "Yes, Anakin?"

"Look, are you okay after learning all of this? We haven't actually talked about it yet."

I continued putting random stuff into my bag, "Well....I guess I don't really know how to feel. It's all still new to me but I guess it's a little worrying to know that so could easily fly off the rails compared to basically everyone else."

Yoda said he would talk to me later about all of this, and knowing him, that probably meant that he would have me do some sort of training to control the darkness inside of me. And that's not really something I'm looking forward to.

"So you made a mistake. No one is perfect, and it'll all get better with time."

I sighed again and turned around this time, "It's more than just a mistake, Anakin. The people on Corellia currently have no leader, and we didn't even do anything to clean up the mess I made."

I appreciated that he was trying to help but it didn't change how guilty I felt.

He gently grabbed both of my shoulders, "They will find a new and better leader. You shouldn't stress over this too much if you want to get better at controlling your emotions."

A thought popped into my head and my eyes widened. I shoved my backpack into Anakin's chest and ran out of the room, "Take that to your room, I have to do something. I'll meet you there!" I called behind me.

I heard Anakin yell after me in confusion but I didn't stop. I ran into a room that I knew was vacant since most of the Jedi were eating dinner by now. As I suspected, the training room was empty so I pulled out my holo-communicator that was in my pocket and contacted Padmé.

She popped up in hologram form and looked surprised when she saw me, "(y/n)! Did you forget something at my place?" She questioned.

I laughed and shook my head, "No, but I did have a question for you. Do you know a Senator who attended that party whose name is Elijah? I don't know what his last name is."

She thought about my question for a moment and then widened her eyes, "Yes I do! I don't know him very well but we are friendly acquaintances. Why did you want to know?"

"He told me that he might lose his position as Senator but I think I have a way to get him another opportunity on Corellia. I know this is last minute and probably a long shot since the people there have no idea who he is, but can you contact him and tell him to come to the Temple? We met at the party so knows who I am, and you can tell him that I requested for him."

She nodded in understanding, "That's nice of you, (y/n). Not a lot of people would go out of their way for someone they barely know. You really have a heart of gold." She smiled warmly at me and I felt a surge of affection for her burst through me. I'm so lucky that Padmé is my friend, and hearing her kind words makes me feel more assured that there's more than just darkness in me.

I nodded with a big smile, "Thank you so much."

We said quick goodbyes and I walked in the direction of Anakin's quarters at a leisurely pace, thinking about what I would do next. It was pretty funny actually; I just got back and I already have another mission. It's not really a mission but I'm counting it as one. I don't mind though, because Elijah is my friend and I really want to help him with this. It'll be beneficial to him and Corellia if he gets accepted there, and hopefully some of my guilt from last time will dissipate from doing this.

I pressed a button to open the door to Anakin's quarters and looked inside from the doorway. His room was similar to mine, as all the rooms are, but his was way messier. I unintentionally giggled out loud and stepped inside, pressing another button and hearing the door close behind me.

"Anakin! What room am I staying in?" I called out.

I heard a door open in the back of the room and saw him poke his head out of it. He beckoned for me to come over to him, "You'll be staying in here."

This room was also identical to the other rooms in everyone's quarters, but since this one is vacant right now, it's very clean and tidy. I noticed that he already put my bag on the bed for me.

"Thanks." I just stood there awkwardly and looked around. Now that I'm actually in here with him, the tension in the air is thicker. It really shouldn't be, given that we're already in a relationship. But I think it's mainly because of the fact that we're actually sharing a room, which I still can't believe they're telling us to do, and the silent 'feud' we've had going on since the party. We haven't really talked about it yet besides back in the hallway when he almost saw my neck.

And he's never going to see it. Not until the bite marks disappear.

I heard him chuckle beside me, "I knew that was why you had your hood up."

I gasped and immediately put barriers up around my mind, and turned to face him, "Why were you reading my mind?" I demanded, more flustered rather than angry.

He shrugged but still wore an amused expression, "I was trying to see if you felt comfortable staying here but instead you were reminiscing of how our little tryst ended the other night." He spoke charismatically.

Oh. So that's how it's going to be.

I scoffed turned back forwards, trying to seem annoyed even though I liked the way he was talking to me, "I still can't believe you did that." I muttered, pulling my hood over my head more to hide the blush on my cheeks. I remembered that night at the party so vividly; every night when I fell asleep, my mind couldn't help but dream about how it would've ended if he hadn't left.

I could see Anakin shrug again in my peripheral vision and all of his sweetness disappeared, "I was just proving a point." The blatant smugness in his voice made me irritated and I spun towards him again, getting in his space so that our bodies almost touched and I crossed my arms and leaned back slightly to meet his eyes.

"And what point was that?"

He gazed down at me intently, and his eyes looked between mine and my lips. As I took notice of the way he studied me, I suddenly became aware of myself and realized that he had me right where he wanted.

"That you're mine, and no one else can touch you." He said in a seductive voice. I could feel his breathing on my cheek because of how close he was to me.

He meant every word, really meant it, which stunned me more than it should've. To see him so territorial provoked a wild reaction in my bones that made my body want to melt to the floor. My knees locked for a moment as my cheeks heated, and I felt myself wanting to shrink away in embarrassment.

A sly smirk formed on his lips when he saw my speechless reaction, and he then advanced towards me. Because of our already close proximity, I backed up quickly, causing my hood to fall off from my movements. I reached both of my hands up and swiftly tried to pull it back up, but my back hit the wall with a quick thud, preventing me from doing so. A small gasp escaped my lips upon contact, and I was soon left with no way out as Anakin appeared right in front of me. He chuckled and placed a hand over my head on the wall. The look in his eyes said everything as he eagerly moved my hair out of the way with his other hand to reveal the side of my neck.

"Well, would you look at that...." He mumbled, gently grabbing the side of my neck and rubbing his thumb over the faded purple splotches. He looked so proud of himself right now; proud of his visible claim over me.

"You're terrible." I muttered under my breath, too dazed to think of a good insult. But the truth is, I was loving every second of this, and he knew it. Now I just needed to find a way to turn the tables on him.

He grabbed my jaw with the hand that was on my neck, "Care to repeat that, baby?"

My knees became weak for a moment and slightly trembled, but I used all the vexation that flamed in my chest to swat his hand off of me and push him backwards with the force. And instead of falling over or staggering backwards, he stood completely still because I used the force to stop all of his movements. His eyes widened in shock and he looked down at himself, trying to move but couldn't.

I started giggling at his position and felt another adrenaline rush flow through my body. Another thing I know that he hates is having to be still or not being able to move or touch anything, so this was the perfect revenge.

He looked up at me with shock still visible in his expression, "What are you doing?" His voice had a tint of warning to it, but that only tempted me further.

I shrugged and sauntered over to him, "Oh you know, proving a point." I mocked his words from before.

He growled and tried turning his head to watch me walk in a circle around him, "Let go of me or else—"

"Or else what?" I interrupted, coming to stand in front of him again. "You'll leave more hickeys on me?" I teased.

Though his expression said otherwise, I could feel that he was loving this. The energy that was radiating off of him was passionate and hungry, just like my own.

He scoffed and let out a dry laugh, "Oh please, so many women would beg me to do that to them."

I rose an eyebrow but was still smiling, "You don't see me begging, do you?"

He smirked this time and eyed me up and down, "I don't have to see it to know it."

I blushed, not expecting him to say that and turned away. I walked over to where my bag was laid on my bed. An idea popped into my head that I know is cruel, but it'll definitely even the score for what he did to me at the party. I smiled mischievously as I took off some of my jewelry and my socks and shoes.

"What are you doing now?" I heard Anakin from behind me where he was still being held by the force. I chuckled and turned around.

I shrugged innocently, "Oh I just figured that now would be a good time to take a shower." I kept my smile as I grabbed my towel and some soaps, and kept eye contact with Anakin the whole time. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes were filled with fury and desire as they studied my every move.

"See you in a bit." I blew him a kiss and took my clothes with me to the washroom, still leaving him there with the force. He's gonna be so pissed, but that's my goal. He'll have a taste of his own medicine.

After about ten minutes of showering, I got dressed and combed out my long, damp hair. I looked in the mirror and smiled, giving myself two finger guns in approval.

I left the washroom and almost rolled over laughing at the sight of Anakin still standing there, looking as if he was about to explode from being forced to stand in one spot and not move or be able to do anything.

"Please." He groaned.

I tilted my head as if I was confused, "Please what?"

"Please let go." He said through gritted teeth.

It was amusing to watch this because now he knew how it felt to be in this situation. Revenge was so sweet. But I decided that he's had enough, and that I'll give us both what we want. I'm satisfied with the payback I got on him.

I nodded with an amused smile, "Okay okay."

His expression never changed as I walked around him and to the door, "You're so dead for this, (y/n)."

I giggled at his frustration and made it to the door so I could get a running start. But as if right on cue, I heard a few knocks on the door to his quarters. I knew exactly who it was and was slightly surprised at how quickly they came. But Anakin didn't know anything so I laughed again when I saw the worried look on his face.

"Relax, I know who it is." I finished putting my clothes on and walked past Anakin to the door to my room. As soon as I opened it, I released him from the force hold.

"I'll be back soon!" I called over my shoulder.

I heard him breathing heavily behind me as well as rage simmering from his breaths. I suppressed a laugh and thought about how funny it was that we both enjoy making each other angry. And not in a bad way, but in a thrilling and passionate way that fills us with excitement. In fact, our bond always feels stronger every time we interact this way. Any intimate interaction with him makes me feel closer to him, no matter what we do.

I opened the door by pressing one of the buttons and smiled at who I saw, "Hey Elijah! How are you?" I stepped out of the room and stood across from him in the hallway.

He rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled, "Hi (y/n). I had no idea you were a Jedi." He said while gazing around the halls.

I laughed and nodded, realizing that I never actually told him who I was back at the party. He probably assumed that I was also just another Senator.

"So uh, why did you ask me here?" He asked, seeming confused as to why he travel all the way to the Temple.

"Well," I linked my arm with his and began walking down the hallway, "I remember you talking about how you might lose your job, and believe it or not, I know of a planet that needs a new Republic leader."

He turned his head towards me with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, "You do?"

I nodded, "It's a long story but, Corellia's previous leader has passed away and they are currently left without one. If you want to, you can apply for a Senator position over there." I suggested.

He smiled and let out a breath that I could tell he was holding in, "Thank you. Thank you so much for telling me, I don't even know how to repay you for this."

I almost giggled at his jubilance and waved my hand in an 'it's nothing' gesture, "There's no need for that. I was just happy to help a friend."

He smiled and we continued walking until we got to the ship he took to get here. I saw some guards standing outside of it, as well as a pilot through the window to the cockpit.

"So," I turned towards him, "I won't be going with you since I have to stay at the Temple. But maybe you can ask Padmé to accompany you over to Corellia if you don't want to go alone? I know it might seem weird for you to just show up unannounced, but Padmé is one of the most well-known Republic politicians in the galaxy, so if she's with you then that might make it less strange." I didn't know too much about politics or how people get chosen for Senator positions, but Padmé also tends to provide support for planets in need, so it would be a win-win.

He shrugged, "I'll do something like that. I can also tell them that you sent me there, so maybe it'll put me in their good graces." He chuckled.

Even though that's the opposite of how I felt, I laughed and nodded, "You can also talk to the hotel manager in Coronet City about job qualifications. He's familiar with the government system over there, so maybe he can help you out. His name is Leo, and he's also one of my friends."

Elijah nodded in understanding and exhaled, looking between his ship and me, "This is a long shot, but I appreciate your suggestions. I'm assuming this is where we part again."

I nodded and waited for him to continue. He rocked on his heels and chuckled amusedly, "I know we'll meet again soon. Just promise me you won't go around flirting with more gay people."

I rolled my eyes and playfully hit his arm, "Come on, that was one time."

He smiled and saluted me as he began to walk backwards. I saluted in return and watched him enter his own ship, feeling a wave of happiness wash over me. I potentially just saved his career and probably his reputation. I can't imagine being in his position but I'm glad I was able to help at least. I was right, it did make me feel less guilty about before. If he gets the job, then he could transform Corellia into a healthier and safer planet than it currently is.

Completely forgetting about what just happened with Anakin, I walked back to his quarters while thinking about how the people of Corellia will feel about Elijah or if they would accept him so soon after the death of their previous leader. He was part of the Republic though, so most people should be familiar with who he is.

I re-entered my new room and shut the door. I walked over to my bed but I noticed that my backpack was moved to the other side of the room. I know I didn't move it so I was really confused for a moment, and tried to think of how it could've moved. Then all the memories came back and before I could do anything, I felt myself being lifted off the ground by the force and thrown onto my bed harshly and landed on my back. I coughed from the impact and leaned up on my elbows to see what was happening. My eyes landed on Anakin who somehow was right at the edge of the bed, and his choleric features and fiery aura made him seem like a predator who just found its prey.

"What are you doing?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer and could feel my heart beating loudly against my chest.

He didn't say anything but got on the bed and began to crawl on top of me. I tried moving away by backing up on my hands but he grabbed my waist and pulled me back down between his legs.

"You're not getting away this time." He kept his hands on me and roughly crashed his lips onto mine, taking me by surprise and sliding his tongue into my mouth, exploring every inch of it.

I smirked against his lips and kissed him back, feeling the butterflies return to my stomach. I ran my fingers through his hair and down to his shoulders, holding him up as he hovered over me. This was his way of letting out his anger at me for earlier, but I wasn't complaining now.

We've barely been roommates for 30 minutes and we can't even keep our hands off of each other.

This was going to be a long and heated night.

(a/n): Soooo that was another spicy chapter that I definitely had too much fun with🤭❤️
