(y/n)'s POV
I sighed in frustration as I walked out of the medical wing. I looked up to the sound of rushing footsteps and I see Piett darting past people to get to me, "What-" He began, but he stopped to catch his breath, he buckled over and held up his index finger at me, signaling me to give him a second. I chuckled at his tired state and he finally stood up straight and eyed me with concern, "What happened?" He asked with a sigh.

I shrugged, "It's no big deal," I held up my left hand, "I broke my finger."

He groaned, "Oh my god, seriously?" He spoke in an annoyed tone and grabbed my hand to eye the small cast that was placed on my left index finger, "How did this happen?" He glared up at me, "Lord Vader should be returning later today and I told him that you would be in the same condition that he left you in." He sighed as he shook his head, "And here you are, breaking fingers and shit."

I narrowed my eyes at him, "I didn't plan to break it, it just happened," I glanced annoyingly over at R2 who was right next to me, "Someone distracted me." He beeped in defense and I shook my head at him. Little asshole rolled into my work station and knocked a bunch of shit over when I was hammering into a ship, thus causing me to look at him and not pay attention to what I was doing. So I hit the hammer against my index finger, it hurt like hell.

"But still, you need to be more car-"

"Piett?" I watched as he visibly stiffened with slightly widened eyes when he heard the familiar voice of Aubra. She was walking towards his back when he slowly turned to face her, she was glaring intently at him, "I thought I said I didn't want to see you over here." She stopped and folded her arms.

He rolled his eyes, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize you own the Death Star Aubra." He responded in a snippy tone and I held in a laugh, I love him.

She scoffed, "So how is little miss blondie anyway?" She asked in a disgusted tone as she eyed him up and down.

He smirked, oh god he's gonna say something he shouldn't, "Good, she's much better in bed. And not as clingy and psychotic as some people." He smiled sarcastically.

My jaw dropped, he did not just say that..

"You asshole!" She stepped forward and slapped him. She pushed past him and walked away down the corridor, practically stomping her feet along the way.

I shook my head as he turned to face me while he gripped his cheek with a scowl, "You had to have known that was going to happen."

He shrugged as he dropped his hand down, "She deserved it." He gestured for me to follow him down the hall. R2 rolled by right next to me, which reminds me, I wonder where BB-4 is. Unless she's with Ellie again.

"You know, you never told me why your relationship with Aubra ended." I reminded him, he had told me before that he'd tell m. And she hasn't said anything either, in fact I've hardly talked to her since it all happened. Which is fine I guess, she was cool, but we never had more than a few lunches together so we weren't that close. I've become closer with Ellie actually.

He sighed, "It's embarrassing." He admitted without making eye contact with me.

I gave him a confused look, "Piett you're talking to me. You've literally seen you know who's face in between my thighs, held back my hair for me last week while I was throwing up, and let's not forget the time I had my period and you ran around this place looking for tampons for me. We've reached a level of friendship that is unmatched." I nudged him on the shoulder with mine, if I'm being honest too, he's filled a void that was left empty when I lost my brother. In a way, he's become like a brother to me, "You should never be embarrassed to tell me anything."

(TW: Topic about Domestic abuse)

He smiled and reached his hand over to his sleeve and lifted it up to reveal his forearm, "What am I looking at?" I asked confused.

"Here." He pointed to multiple marks on his arm.

I grabbed his arm and eyed the marks that looked like they came from, nails? "She did this to you?" I asked in disbelief.

He nodded with a shrug, "It's fine, it's not that bad. She didn't full on hit me or anything, but she did dig her nails in pretty deep if she got too mad. So, I got tired of it and I ended it. She didn't take it well." He sighed as he pulled his sleeve back down. Wow I had no idea she was that kind of person. I quickly turned around and headed back in her direction, "No." Piett grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.

I narrowed my eyes at him, "What? I just want to talk to her." I smiled innocently.

He shook his head with a light chuckle, "I know what you want to do and just don't. It doesn't matter anymore, I'm with Ellie now and I'm happy, forget about it okay?" He asked in a sincere tone and I sighed in defeat. I'll let it go. For now.

"Why would you be embarrassed to tell me something like this?"

He shrugged with a frown, "I felt like it made me look weak."

I linked my arm in his, "If there's anything I've learned about you, my good friend, is that you are far from weak." I smiled at him in hopes that my words made him feel better.

He smiled down at me, showing me that they did, "Thanks, now come on. Do you think you can one handedly play cards?" He changed the subject and I didn't try pressing further about it.

"I'm not freaking handicapped it's just my index finger, the other four work fine." I rolled my eyes as we made our way to my room.

"Captain Piett!" We were stopped by someone running in our direction. Piett moved his arm from mine and met the person half-way.

"What is it?"

"It's the the Imperial Palace sir, It went under attack about twenty minutes ago, we suspect it was the rebels or the people from the riot. There was an explosion and the place is falling apart. We also haven't been able to find Lord Vader either or contact him, but we know he was still inside." They informed him.

Pietts face fell into one of worry and anger, "Get me a ship and troops, I'm leaving within the next five minutes." The man nodded and walked away quickly, Piett turned to me, "I'm going to be bring him back okay?"

He spoke but I hardly heard him. My heart sunk into my chest and my stomach churned uncomfortably at the news. No, he has to be okay, he said he would come back to me. I envisioned his face, the beautiful face of my angel, I can't lose him. Oh god, what if he's dead and I never get to see him again, or hold him again?

Before I knew it, I was throwing up all over the metal floor.

~*~•~*~

Anakin's/Vader's POV
Everything felt like it was moving slowly. Ashes were blowing in the air, fire was erupted around me. But I was stuck underneath multiples pieces of rubble that I was too weak to move. I was pinned from the chest down.

It all happened so fast, one minute I was walking in the halls, about to leave and get back to her. Then an explosion erupted and the ceiling began to fall on me.

I could hear grunts and moans of pain all around me from people that were barely alive. This had to be the rebels, they could have used the riot from yesterday as a distraction. They were the only ones, not associated with the Empire that were in here. One of them could have placed the bomb inside without anyone knowing and left before I showed up to look into their mind.

This has to be a warning for destroying Tatooine.

My breathing was shallow and I could feel the pain in my abdomen from the weight of the concrete.I don't think anything is broken, but I tried wiggle free and nothing has worked. I also tried using the force to move it, but was unsuccessful. I laid my head down and tried to catch my breath, even though every breath I took caused my lungs to burn from the ash.

I heard coughing, "Lord Vader!" I heard a man shout. Finally someone shows up, I've been counting the time, I've been stuck under here for well over an hour.

"I'm here." I responded weakly as I searched through the smoke for whoever it was.

A man came into view that I didn't recognize, "There you are," He half-smiled as he placed a mask over my face, "This will protect your lungs from the ash." I might actually be grateful if I couldn't hear into his mind right now. He's only helping me to protect his own skin when the Emperor gives his wrath about what happened here. He thinks by saving me, he will gain favor and therefore won't be killed.

He is mistaken. He tried lifting the rubble off of me but was unsuccessful.

If only I could leave him to die, I'd be doing a lot of people a favor. Or even kill him myself, now that would be satisfying.

He thought and I snorted in response, "You know I can hear what you're thinking." I glared at him and his eyes went wide.

He stopped trying to help and pulled his hands away, "Then I guess I'm dead either way." He stood up to leave me here, then he stopped in his tracks, "Or I could do it and no one would even know." He added in a low whisper, like he was talking to himself. I already knew what he was planning to do, the one thing almost everyone I've come across wants to do. My expression never changed as he walked over to me. He knelt down next to me and wrapped his hands around my neck to begin choking me, "How does it feel?" He asked with a hateful glare. I could feel myself getting weaker, but I didn't give him the satisfaction of watching me suffer, I remained as calm as I could, even though I felt myself dying.

"Hey!" I heard a familiar voice shout and a shot fired. The mans grip loosened and he slumped over and away from me. I caughed my breathe and looked through the smoke. Then I saw someone I was more than happy to see.

"Funny seeing you come to my rescue for once." I spoke into the mask once Piett reached my side.

He smiled, "I came as soon as I heard, I had to make sure you were brought back safe, I can't handle (y/n)'s crazy ass on my own," I gave off a weak laugh and he tried lifting the rubble but was having a rough time, "A little help would be nice!" He shouted behind him and a group of clones came to his aid and helped him lift everything off of me. I sighed with relief once I was no longer being weighted down, although my body was still in pain, "Come on, there's someone who's worried sick about you, literally, she threw up everywhere." He chuckled as he helped me up and my body was weak so he was holding up most of my weight. He lifted his one arm up and kept the mask on my face to protect me from the air.

"Thank you Piett." I tightened my grip on his shoulder as he helped carry me out, along with a few clones who were walking next to us to make sure I didn't fall, "Don't ever repeat this again and if you bring it up, I'll deny I ever said it," I sighed, "But you're the brother I deserved, (y/n) isn't the only person who means a lot to me."

He turned his head to look at me, "You're gonna make me cry." I saw his eyes get teary.

I shook my head with an annoyed sigh, "Don't fucking cry, it makes me uncomfortable."

~*~•~*~

"You'll be alright my Lord," The doctor on the Death Star informed me as he checked my body over, "You have a lot of bruising and even a slight concussion, but nothing too serious. You're lucky to have no broken ribs."

I nodded, "Thanks," I got up from the bed and winced in pain once I stood up straight.

"Are you sure you don't wish to stay here to be monitored?" He asked.

I shook my head, "You said I'm fine right?" I turned to him and he nodded, "Good, I have somewhere to be." I wanted to see her before I have to talk to Sidious. I have no idea how he's going to react to all of this. I left clones there in order check for survivors and a team that was looking into the explosion. I walked out of the room and Piett was already standing out of the door waiting for me, "You didn't have to stay." I smiled as we both walked towards my quarters. Where I had told Piett to make sure (y/n) was waiting for me. I heard she put up a fight because she wanted to see me as soon as I arrived. But I didn't want her to see me in that state, at least not until I knew it was nothing serious.

"I know but there's something you should know before you see (y/n)." He spoke with a sigh.

I side-eyed him, "What did she do?"

He shrugged, "She broke her finger."

Instead of getting upset, I let out a chuckle. Which caused a few people in the halls to look at us funny, not a single person here is used to seeing me laugh, "How does she manage to always get hurt when I'm not around?"

He shrugged, " I have no idea, she blamed R2."

I playfully rolled my eyes, "Of course she did." We reached my door and I was already overcome with excitement to see her. Today when I was stuck under all that debris, my main worry was that I'd never seeever again. That I would die without marrying her, now I get to go in there and hold her for hours, which is exactly what I needed right now, "Well this is where we say goodbye, I'm about to go have sex." I smiled in hopes of grossing him out.

He scrunched his face, "I don't need to know that. Just be careful with your bruises, let her be on top." He added with a smirk and my jaw dropped. He chuckled at my reaction, "See you later, brother." He added before quickly walking away before I could say anything else. I knew I shouldn't have said anything kow he's gonna call me that all the time.

I opened the door and smiled once my eyes landed on her figure sitting on the bed, "Ani!" She jumped up and rushed to me; tears spilling from her eyes, "I was so worried," She sighed with relief as I held her in my arms, "Please don't ever scare me like that again."

The bruises I had were hurting from our tight embrace, but the pain was worth it.

"I'm sorry baby," I pulled away so I could softly caress her cheek; taking in her beauty like it was the first time I ever saw her, "I missed you so much." I lowered my lips down and brought them to hers.

(y/n)'s POV
He kissed me passionately and he lifted his hands up to cup my face. He immediately began pushing me towards the bed and I could feel his excitement down below. I fell back on the bed and he crawled in next to me so we were side by side. He continued kissing me as we faced each other. His hand trailed from my cheek down the side of my breast and towards my pants, but he suddenly stopped moving once he reached the side of my stomach, and he even stopped kissing me.

Almost like he was frozen in place.

I pulled away and opened my eyes to give him a confused look. He wasn't looking at me, and he had an expression I couldn't read, "Anakin what's wrong?" I asked and his gaze slowly looked up to meet mine, with slightly wide eyes.

"(y/n). When's the last time you had your period?"

(a/n sorrry if the whole beginning part was boring or if it went too fast, but I was trying to focus on Pietts relationship with (y/n) and Vader. So please let know your thoughts♥️)
