(Y/n)'s POV
"So, you tell me not to fight," I spoke with a long sigh as I leaned back in the chair, and turned my head to eye my boyfriend who was in the seat next to me, "Only to do it yourself, and now look what happened." I raised my cuffed hands to gesture around the police station, "Good job." I dropped my hands down to my lap.

So yeah, we got arrested. Emphasis on 'we', not Clovis or Celeste though - just Anakin and I. Normally I'd find this situation to be humorous, but I was scared for what was in store for Anakin. I can only pray that he doesn't go back to jail over this. He didn't even really hit Clovis, he just slammed him to the ground—twice; he shouldn't have tried to get back up.

He slowly turned his head and glared at me, "He had the nerve to call you a derogatory name. I wasn't going to let him get away with that," He huffed before attempting to fold his arms across his chest, until he remembered he was also cuffed which made it impossible. So he dropped his arms back down in annoyance, "I fucking hate these things." He seethed, and this was the first time I've actually seen him so frustrated.

I scooted closer to him so I was partially sitting on my own chair and partially on his. I leaned my head down and laid it on his shoulder, "It's gonna be okay." I tried to not only convince him, but myself.

He let out a long sigh, and I felt his lips brush against my hair before he lightly kissed me, "I'm sorry (Y/n)," He whispered close to my ear, "I shouldn't have lost my temper like that."

"No you shouldn't have," I agreed, but not in a judgmental tone, "But I understand your reasons, so thank you." I shifted my position slightly before peering up and meeting his blue eyes that were already on me, "For defending my honor." I smiled softly.

He smiled back, "So does this mean you'll wait for me for the next three years or so?" I know he was only joking, there's no way he'd get that for something as small as this.

I chuckled and pushed away the nervous feeling in my stomach, "I'll wait ten, but that's my limit," I shrugged, "After that I'll marry a rich man and steal his fortune."

Anakin chuckled with me, "Then when I do get out, we can live off of his money together after he mysteriously dies in a boating accident."

Now I was laughing - enjoying the way we were trying to lighten each other's mood, "Sounds like a plan blondie, now I kind of want you to go to jail so we can set this in motion."

He narrowed his eyes with a look of disbelief, "I don't!" He exclaimed before laughing more with me until the light that shined on us went dim and we heard the sound of someone clearing their throat.

We both slowly turned our heads forward, then lifted our nervous gaze to the eyes of both my father and Anakin's brother who were both glaring at us unamused.

"We are so happy that you two find this funny," Obi-Wan spoke sarcastically with a scowl aimed straight at his younger brother, "You're very lucky that you were with her," He pointed at me without taking his eyes off of Anakin, "And that her father is friends with the arresting officers, or else you'd be behind bars right now for assault," He snapped as he tapped his foot impatiently on the floor.

"He called me before putting it down as an official arrest," My father explained, his gaze burning holes into me.

Anakin's head dropped down in shame, "I'm sorry Obi-"

"You should be," His brother interrupted him. Although I feel like he was being a bit harsh, I do understand that it's cause he was probably scared when he got yet another phone call about his little brother being arrested, "What were you thinking Anakin? You have a record now, you can't be getting into fights—"

"It was my fault Mr.Kenobi," I quickly spoke up and stood up to defend my boyfriend. All eyes were now on me. I swallowed nervously, "I'm the one who started the fight," I admitted, gaining surprised eyes from both Obi-Wan and my dad, "I attacked Celeste and Anakin was trying to stop me, but things just got of hand." I let out a deep breath.

Anakin then stood up, "No it's my fault, we were about to leave, but I lost my tempter and attacked Clovis." He quickly tried to pull the blame back to himself, and I shot him an annoyed glare, which he reciprocated.

"Let's just start with you," My father sighed as he took a step towards me before grabbing my hands and beginning to take the cuffs off of me, "Why did you attack her?"

I bit my bottom lip nervously, not even Anakin knew what Celeste said to provoke me. I didn't want to tell him because I wasn't sure if it would upset him more or not, "She came up to me, taunting me about Anakin and his past incident. She called him pathetic, and I lost it. I'm sorry." I dropped my freed hands down to my side.

My eyes remained locked with my dads and I was waiting for another scolding, but surprisingly I didn't get one. He simply nodded before turning his head towards Anakin, "And why did you attack my daughters ex-boyfriend, was it jealousy?" He assumed with a raised brow.

Anakin shook his head, "No, I just didn't like the way he was talking about her sir, he disrespected her." He answered honestly, and he too began to hold his breath as he waited for another reprimand for losing his temper and risking jail time over nothing but words.

But just like me, he didn't get one, "So you got arrested for defending your girlfriend?" Obi-Wan questioned with knitted brows, and it was also as if he was asking if I actually was girlfriend as well, "From her ex-boyfriend?"

Anakin nodded, "He called her a derogatory remark because she moved on with me."

"What did he call her?" My father asked lowly.

"Dirty and a slut," He responded and my eyes widened. Okay I didn't expect him to tell them what Clovis actually said - especially my dad whose face turned red in less than a second.

"I never liked him," My dad huffed in annoyance as he began to remove Anakin's cuffs for him.

After Anakin thanked him, he looked up at his brother waiting for a response from him.

After a few seconds, Obi-Wan sighed, "I guess I can't be mad at you for that, but you need to be more careful Anakin. You got lucky this time, but you might not be lucky the next."

My boyfriend nodded with another sigh, "Yeah, I know. This won't happen again, I promise."

"The same goes for you butterfly," My father spoke up, drawing my attention to him, "I understand your reasonings, but I won't always be here to bail you out."

"I know dad, this won't happen again for me either," I assured him and he smiled - having faith that I would keep my word.

"Alright let's get home and relieve the babysitter of our tiny terror," Obi-Wan nudged his head for Anakin to follow him, "And thank you for helping him out Richard." He smiled a thank you to my father before attempting to leave.

"Hold on," My dad held his hand out to stop them from leaving. They both paused and eyed him curiously, "So since our children decided to get arrested, I was able to get the night off. You should join us for dinner tonight." He offered politely.

I was a little surprised by his offer since he never even bothered to ask Clovis' parents to come over. But then again, he really wasn't a fan of him which leads me to believe that he actually does like Anakin.

Obi-Wan looked a bit taken back, before he smiled, "That actually sounds nice," He turned to Anakin who eagerly nodded an agreement to the invitation with a smile of his own, "Is six good?" He asked, looking back towards my father and I.

My dad nodded, "Six is good. Also my sister is in town and she brought my nephew with her who is the same age as Ahsoka." He informed him; causing my eyes to widens with excitement. I absolutely loved my aunt, and I always get ecstatic when she comes to visit, "They'll be joining us."

"Perfect," Obi-Wan chuckled, "Ahsoka could use more friends her age."

"Then it's settled," My dad reached his hand out to shake Obi-wan's hand, he accepted the gesture, "We'll see you at my house at six."

"See you then Richard, and thank you again for everything you've done for him." Obi-Wan dropped his hand down from the handshake with a thankful grin.

My Dad nodded, "Of course, you have a good kid on your hands."

He looked at Anakin, "I know I do," He nudged his head once more for them to leave, "Alright let's get you out of this station."

"Wait," Before we all could go our separate ways, I pulled Anakin into a hug. I know I was going to see him again in only a few hours, but this whole situation scared me and I was just grateful that I was even able to hug him and he wasn't behind bars.

"Thank you," He whispered close to my ear as he tightened his hold on me.

"For?" I asked as I backed away slightly to meet his beautiful eyes and smile.

He gently caressed my cheek with his thumb as he gazed dotingly into my eyes, "Defending my honor."

"Anytime," I winked, and he breathed a soft chuckle.

"Also, don't worry about your car, I'll get it and bring it when I come to your house tonight," He informed me. I have to admit that I'm the midst of everything, I completely forgot about my car.

I gave him a thankful smile, "Thank you, I'll see you in a few hours," I was about to lean in for a kiss, but then I remembered that we had an audience. I turned my head to look at my father and Obi-Wan, "Turn around for a second." I gestured with my finger for them to spin and they obliged to my request.

Anakin looked amused as he cupped my face and pressed his lips to mine.

🤍

I got in my dad's car and pulled my seatbelt over myself, "So when did my aunt get here?"

"This morning while you were at work," He sighed heavily as he turned his car on, "She's going to be staying with us for awhile."

I furrowed my brows, "Is everything okay?"

He slowly turned his head to look at me, "Well, her and her husband," He grimaced at the mention of the man he won't even call by his first name. My dad has his reasons for not liking him, "Have been having issues for awhile, and she recently caught him being unfaithful. So I told her she can stay with us as long as she needs." And this is just one more thing to add on to his list of reasons now.

My jaw nearly fell to the floor, "He cheated on her?" I asked in complete disbelief, "How is she doing?"

"Shes doing okay, she emotionally checked out of that relationship a long time ago. She mostly stayed because of her financial situation, but I told her to stay with us. That it'll be healthier for her that way." He began to pull out of the parking lot. He made a right which caught my attention since home was to the left.

"I agree, I love aunt Satine and she doesn't need to be in that situation," I spoke slowly as I began to recognize the neighborhood he was going through. I was starting to suspect where we were going and the nervous knot in my stomach returned.

"Which is exactly why her and Cal will be staying with us." He made another turn, and my suspicions began to rise even more.

I cleared my throat nervously, "Dad, where are we going?"

He turned his head to look at me with a small smile, "Its about time I had a word with Clovis."
