45-I Am
(y/n)'s POV
Blaster in hand; I pressed the button for the door to open and the man cowered in fear without looking up, "I'm not him." I spoke in a monotone and he lifted his head to look at me. He was bloody, bruises covered his stomach and face, one of his eyes was swollen shut, I could go on, but to make it short, he looked like hell.
And still.. not a single fuck was given.
"What are you doing here?" He asked as his one good eye looked down to the blaster then back up to me, "Are you going to kill me?" He asked and I even heard hope in his voice. Hope that his pathetic life would finally end and he would no longer be the subject of torture under the infamous Darth Vader.
I nodded as I stepped into the room, but still maintained a few feet distance away from him, "I would certainly like to." I held the blaster up to his face, "You deserve it." I growled while keeping my finger on the trigger.
He tried to step forward, but the chain stopped him, "Go ahead, do it." He encouraged me and my hand began to shake. I was struggling, I wanted to do this, but would I ever be able to return from taking a life. Will I become someone completely different; will I still be me?
But as I looked at this man, I was having a hard time seeing a person, a human life. All I could see, was what I no longer had, "How could you do something so horrible?" I cried as the tears were returning to my eyes, you would think I had no more left to shed, "You had no right!" I screamed as I tightened the grip on the weapon, my anger and pain was completely taking control.
He nodded vigorously, "You're right, kill me. Please, it's better than this." He begged as he tried stepping forward again and the collar dug into his skin. I was still slightly hesitant, would Anakin think the same of me? "What is taking so long?" He shouted at me, "Do it; kill me like I killed that thing that was inside of you!" My chest tightened at his words.
Well that did it.
I tightened my finger on the trigger and fired a shot. But it didn't go where I wanted it to, and that had to do with the person who gripped my wrist and pulled my arm up so the shot hit the ceiling. I looked up to meet the owner of the arm, "What are you doing?" Anakin growled as he pulled the blaster from my hand.
"He deserves to die for what he did!" I shouted as I reached for the weapon again and he pulled it away from me.
He threw it behind him and gripped my wrists in both of his hands, "He does, but not from you." He stared intently into my eyes, "You are not a killer." He brought his forehead to mine as he spoke softly to me.
"But It hurts so much," I breathed heavily to try and control the overwhelming emotions I was feeling, "I want to do it. I want to hurt him the way he hurt me." I growled in anger as the tears poured from my eyes and he nodded to me in understanding.
"I know baby, I know. It hurts me too, it kills me to see you like this," He let go of my wrists and cupped my face as he pulled his forehead off of mine, "But I won't allow you to taint your soul with blood," He gently rubbed my cheeks with his thumbs "You are too pure for that, you are my light and I need you to remain as my light." He kissed my lips softly for a moment before pulling away and I gazed up into his eyes, they always gave me a sense of peace and serenity, "Whatever you want done, I will do it for you. You may not be a killer, but I am." Without looking away from me, he removed one hand and held it to the man. The sound of his choking filled the room, I turned my head to see him dying, I relished at the sight, until Anakin turned my head back to look up at him, "Keep those innocent eyes on me my love, you don't need to see such things." He used the hand that wasn't killing the man to stroke my cheek softly. I nodded slowly as I continued gazing into his blue eyes; getting lost in the spell they alway held me in, "I love you (y/n)." He spoke to me softly, despite the fact that he was in the middle of taking a life.
"I love you too." I responded and soon, the sound of the man dying, was gone. Ani brought his other hand back to me.
"It's done," He whispered and I shifted my eyes to the man who was hanging lifelessly by a chain. Anakin grabbed my face, causing me to look back to him, "Come on." He spoke softly as he pulled me out of the room, "Let's go back to bed."
I nodded and allowed him to take me back. The walk was silent, but not an uncomfortable silence. He pressed the button for his door to open and he quietly ushered me inside.
"Come here." He grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a hug. I tightly hugged him back as he rested his chin on the top of my head, "Are you okay?" He asked me as he pulled away slightly so he could meet my gaze.
I nodded slowly without speaking, I was okay as long as I was in his arms. It's the only time where I feel like I'm not going to fall apart, "Hold me." I whispered.
He placed his hands on my hips and lifted me up, effortlessly, so I could wrap my legs around his waist. He held me tightly against him as I laid my head in the crook of his neck and he walked over to the bed and sat down. He continued holding me as he brushed my hair with his fingertips, "Is there anything I can do?" He asked softly.
I lifted my head and met his eyes once more. I shook my head, "This is just fine." I smiled as I bent down and pressed my lips to his. He brought his hands up from my waist and cupped my cheeks as he laid down and I went down with him. I broke away for a moment, "I can't," I sighed, "I'm not supposed since I just had a-"
He brought his finger to my lips to stop me from saying the word, "I know, all I want to do is what we're doing now. I just want to hold you and kiss you so you can feel how much I love you, I don't need sex to show you that." He smiled as he grabbed ahold of my face and brought my lips to his once more.

2 weeks later
Its been two weeks since it all happened and one week since I've seen Anakin. He didn't want to leave, but being the Supreme Commander, he had obligations in this war, which I understood. But of course I miss him, I'm counting down the moments until he returns.
I was currently in the hangar fixing up a few ships and I even fixed a few weapons for Ellie since she was incredibly overwhelmed right now. It was the least I could do for her being so supportive these past few weeks. Plus it was fun to learn something new and fix something that wasn't a droid or a ship.
"How are you doing?" A familiar voice filled the room and I glanced near the entrance of the hangar to see Piett walking in.
I smiled as I hopped off of my stool to meet him, "I'm okay," I answered honestly, I was still sad every once in awhile, but I've been doing my best to not think about it and move on, "But I would be even better if he was here." I dropped my smile to a frown, I still wasn't sure when he would return.
He nodded, "I know, but I just talked to him and he said to tell you it's going to be another week." He revealed and I nodded with a sigh. I held back a few tears, I just wanted him to come back already.
I composed myself and smiled up at my friend, "Thanks for telling me; and for coming to check on me, but I'm doing fine," I turned and went back to work on my ship, "I have to finish this so I should get back to it, but I'll meet you and Ellie for dinner at the usual time." I spoke without look at him as I placed a crowbar at the top of the ship and pulled off a damaged layer.
"Alright, but call me in the meantime if you need anything." I heard his voice begin to fade as he walked towards the door.
"You know I will." I called back as I continued working on my project.
A few hours had passed by and I was finally finished. But instead of leaving and going back to my bedroom, only to be alone without the comfort of my fiancé, I laid on the cold metal floor and stared up at the ceiling. Counting all the marks I could find in an effort to comfort myself and occupy my mind, so I wouldn't think of anything else.
I've been moving about my business everyday like everything was fine, but once in awhile, I felt that same incomplete feeling I felt that same day in the medical bay after hearing the news. I sighed sadly.
"Hey beautiful."
I shot up quickly and looked up to see Anakin smiling down at me, "Ani?" I jumped up and pulled him into a hug. He hugged me back tightly with a chuckle, "I don't understand," I pulled away to look up and see those piercing blue eyes, "Piett said you wouldn't be back for another week." I smiled in excitement as I placed my hands on the cheek, feeling his warmth.
He nodded, still holding a smile, "That's what I told him to say," He bent down and kissed me passionately. This is all I've wanted this past week, now I'm starting to feel complete again. He grabbed my hand when he pulled away from the kiss and pulled towards a ship at the far corner, "We're going on a trip." He informed me and I was utterly confused, "You need a break from this place." He sighed as he lowered the ships ramp and gestured me to step on.
"What about the droids; and my clothes, I have nothing to wear; and also my projec-" He lifted his hand to stop me from speaking.
"You need to relax and trust me okay? I have everything taken care of. Just get on the ship." He gestured again and this time I nodded and walked onto the familiar ship.
I looked around the interior, "This is the one you used to come and save me from the rebels isn't it?" I asked as I turned to face him. He just finished closing the ramp and was going towards the pilot seat.
"Yes it is." He smiled at me before sitting down and pressing a few buttons to get us ready for take off.
I walked over and sat in the co-pilot seat, "So, care to tell me where you're taking me?" I asked as I leaned back and tilted my head to look at him.
"You'll see."
(a/n sooo where do you think he's taking you?😏 Also i haven't forgotten about Obi-Wan and Ahsoka POV's. I'm just holding off on that for a bit because, If I'm being honest, everytime I try writing for them I get insane writers block or I just don't like what I come up with. But they'll pop up again soon when I have something I'm satisfied with. I only want to give my readers the best 👌🏻)
