(y/n)'s POV
I took off the helmet and eyed the building with furrowed brows, wondering why we were here of all places, "I'll be right back, I just have to grab something, then we'll go." Anakin assured me as he kicked the stand to his bike down, leaving it safe for me to sit on without worrying about it falling.
(Had one fall on me once because the stand wasn't down, not fun..it was so painful and I have a lovely scar on my knee because of it)

I nodded without giving him a verbal response, my gaze staying on the mechanics shop, recognizing a few of the men inside. One of them was Piett, another was Maul, there were also a few others whose names I hadn't learned, and lastly was Rex, Josie's brother. He was standing alone and staring down at a clipboard in his hands, while the others were conversing.

They all greeted Anakin when he approached them and I noticed a few of them looking in my direction. I even saw Maul slip something to Anakin, but I couldn't make out what it was.

Rex's head lifted up when he noticed Anakin's presence and waved him over. I watched their interaction for a moment since I didn't really have anything else to do over here, and I can tell that Anakin was annoyed at whatever information Rex was giving to him.

Then my view was suddenly blocked by a dark clothed individual that I hadn't notice was walking my way until now. I looked up at the tall familiar man who was smiling down at me, he then proceeded to hold his hand out in my direction, "Nice to see you again (y/n). I don't know if you remember me but I'm Maul, and this here is Savage." He tilted his head to the younger looking man next to him who in turn gave me a shy wave.

I smiled politely back and accepted Mauls handshake, "I do remember you, it's nice to see you again as well," I looked towards Savage and gave him a soft grin, "And it's nice to meet you too Savage."

Savage didn't respond verbally, he merely nodded before looking down at the floor, "Don't mind him," Maul released his grip on me and we both dropped our hands back down, "He's a mute."

"I'm not a mute, stop telling people that." Savage finally spoke up as he narrowed his eyes at his friend.

Maul proceeded to chuckle as he placed his hand on his Savages shoulder, "Well speak up once in awhile and I won't."

"What are you two doing over here?" Anakin appeared, placing his hands on each of their shoulders before pushing them apart to walk in-between them, towards me.

Maul smirked, "Just admiring your stunning friend here."

I raised my brows at his forward comment, and Anakin narrowed his eyes, "Well don't, we're leaving now." He took his seat in front of me, and I quickly wrapped my arms around him like a reflex.

Maul rolled his eyes with an amused grin, "Alright bye beautiful." He winked at me and Anakin snapped his head to the side to shoot him a warning glare; causing Maul to chuckle. It's obvious he's only trying to annoy him. I found it to be kind of amusing as well, "Call me." He mouthed, holding his thumb and pinky up to his ear to mimic a telephone.

I laughed and I heard Anakin breathe out a sigh of annoyance.

Maul and Savage walked back towards the shop, and Anakin turned his head to look at me from his side vision, "I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to take you home. Our sitter for my sister canceled and my brother has to leave for work."

I felt my stomach twist at his words, the last place I wanted to go was home. I just didn't want to be alone, since I doubt my dad was going to be there and Josie was working today.

So, I thought of a different idea than going to that lonely place, "Or," I tilted my head so he could see me better, "Maybe I can go with you?" I offered, hoping he would say yes.

He furrowed his brows, and a slight grin appeared on his lips, "You want to babysit with me? Doesn't that sound boring to you?"

I shook my head, "Absolutely not, home sounds boring to me. But only if you want me to come." I added. I didn't want it to seem like I was trying to force him to bring me if he really didn't want to.

His smile grew, "Of course I want you to come," He turned his head forward and roared his motorcycle to life, "But just a little warning, she can be a bit of a hand-full."

"She can't be any worse than you can she?" I teased.

"You would think," He chuckled as he shook his head; suddenly I was feeling a bit nervous. I was about to meet his family, what would I introduce myself as? "Alright let's go, but first, put your helmet on."

༻✦༺

I stepped off of Anakin's bike that he had parked in the driveway, and gazed upon the pastel yellow house, "Wow this is nice." I uttered in surprise.

Not that I expected a cardboard box or anything, but this didn't seem like a house that someone like him lived in. Nor is it in a neighborhood that someone like him would normally live in. Drapes usually inhabit the southern areas of town. This neighborhood however, is even nicer than my own.

"What were you expecting? Barred windows, graffiti covered walls, and angry dogs out front?" Anakin raised a brow as he laid the helmet I had worn on the leather seat.

"No," I looked away from the house to meet his charming blue eyes, "Not the dogs." I shrugged, causing him to laugh as he shook his head in amusement,

I'm not sure what it is about his laugh, but I absolutely loved it. It was smooth, like a soft melody. So I always did my best to make him laugh whenever I could.

He nudged his head towards the house, "Come on, I'm sure my brother is having a mini stroke right about now by how long I took."

I followed him up the stone steps onto the patio as he dug into his pockets before he pulled out a silver key and placed it in the lock. He pushed open the door and I was instantly hit with the scent of cinnamon.

"Smells like Ahsoka wanted cinnamon rolls again," Anakin mumbled with a head shake as he closed the door behind me.

I quickly scanned the foyer like entry-way in awe, the interior of this house was divine, and incredibly clean. There was a white staircase leading up to the second floor, along with white railings going across the upstairs hallway. There was a small sized chandelier slightly above where I was now and a table in the middle that held—what I'm sure is fake, fruit. It wasn't necessarily fancy by any means, but it was definitely above average.

"I'm home," Anakin announced in a high volume as he gestured for me to follow him through a doorway into,—what I'm guessing—is the living room.

"You have a fire place?" I asked with excitement. I've always wanted one, but never had the luxury of having one, especially during the winter time. The idea of snuggling next to a fire during a snowy or rainy day with hot chocolate sounded like heaven to me.

He nodded as he followed me into the room since I practically dashed towards the brick made design and ran my fingers along the dust-free exterior, "We don't use it often unless it's winter. We get nervous with Ahsoka around so, even then, we tend to use it as little as possible."

I turned to him with furrowed brows, "You think she's going to run into the fireplace or something?" That doesn't seem very logical.

He shook his head as he slightly laughed at my question, "She just has a habit of being clumsy. She's already burned herself once, and I guess I also wouldn't really put it past her to run into it thinking she's invincible."

"Neither would I." An unfamiliar voice spoke from next to the doorway, although I couldn't see him since Anakin was blocking my view. He, who I'm guessing is Anakin's brother, stepped further into the room and I could finally make out his dark hair and professional looking attire, "Took you long enough." He raised a brow at Anakin who rolled his eyes in return.

"I wasn't even there, you're lucky I just happened to stop by the shop to receive your message," Anakin took off his leather jacket and tossed it over the couch, revealing his plain white t-shirt underneath.

"No," The older looking man stepped closer to his brother, "You're the the lucky one, because I was told you'd be there till three. So if you didn't get my message because you decided not to show up, then you'd be in trouble right now."

Anakin shrugged, seeming unfazed by his scolding, "I was there, I just left early." He lightly nudged his head to the side, in my direction.

The mans blue eyes that were similar to Anakin's were now on me. He quickly smiled to hide his annoyance with his brother, "Hello there, sorry you had to witness our bickering, I'm Obi-Wan." He stepped forward and held his hand out to me with a polite smile.

I graciously accepted it while smiling back, "(y/n)."

"And youre his, girlfriend?" He asked with uncertainty as he released his firm grip on my hand, and dropped it back down.

"Oh no," I shook my head with an awkward chuckle, "We're just friends."

"My apologies, I didn't mean to assume," He glanced to Anakin with a look I couldn't quite place, "My little brother here never tells me anything, so I live off of my guesses and assumptions when it comes to him."

"She's gonna stay with me while I watch Ahsoka, you don't mind right?" Anakin asked with a slight head tilt, ignoring his brothers comment.

Obi-Wan shook his head, "Not at all, just be good and don't do anything I wouldn't do." He raised his brows at him.

"That's a short list." Anakin mumbled, and he instantly grinned at his own comment.

Obi-Wan rolled his eyes, "Ahsoka come say bye," He called behind him and in a matter of seconds I heard small footsteps rushing down the flight of stairs.

A little girl appeared in the living room. Her small blue eyes were locked on her oldest brother, "Bye." She responded bluntly with no emotion to her tone, before turning around to leave the room as quickly as she came in.

"Oh I don't think so," Obi-Wan grabbed her by the waist before she could run. He picked her up like her weight was equivalent to a feather and placed a kiss on her cheek. She giggled as he did this, and he quickly set her back down, "Now tell me you love me."

"I love... that you made me cinnamon rolls." She smirked up at him.

Obi-Wan folded his arms over his chest and glared down at her, "Try again."

"Fine," She playfully rolled her eyes with a dramatic sigh, "I love you Obi."

He immediately smiled, "And I love you, I'll be back soon." He ruffled her hair; making her groan in annoyance as she began to fix it, "It was nice meeting you (y/n)." He addressed me as he grabbed his coat from a rack and placed it over his arm.

"You as well," I nodded with a polite smile.

Then his attention went to Anakin, "If you need to take her home before I return, the keys to the other car are in my bedside stand so that way you can take Ahsoka with you as well. Oh and get her some new clothes out, her dress is filthy with god knows what."

"Will do," Anakin stepped forward and picked up Ahsoka up just as easily as his brother did. She let out a small scream as he tossed her over his shoulder, "I'll be back (y/n)." He carried his little sister through the doorway, "What the hell did you even get on your dress snips?" He sighed.

"Paint." She responded innocently.

"We don't have paint." He spoke in a confused tone, and soon they were no longer in my view.

"I know, I made it."

"Jesus Christ. With what?"

Obi-Wan cleared his throat, catching my attention just as I was about to sit on the couch, "You seem like a sweet girl, be careful around him."

I furrowed my brows, "What do you mean?"

He looked towards the doorway where Anakin had just left through before sighing and glancing back to me, "He's a good kid, a brilliant one actually. But he sometimes doesn't make the smartest choices and I'd hate to see you get caught in the cross-fire of one of those choices." He quickly glanced down to his watch, "I'd love to talk more, but I should go. Have a good day, and please don't let him give her too much sugar."

I nodded slowly, not knowing what to make of what he just told me. He left the room while grabbing his keys from a bowl on a table, and I heard the sound of the front door opening and closing, signaling his departure.

After a few minutes of me sitting in the couch and thinking about what Obi-Wan said. My peaceful silence was disrupted by a small feminine voice, "Who are you?"

I slightly jumped in surprise when I turned my head and Ahsoka was standing a lot closer than I expected, "I'm (y/n), Anakin's friend." I smiled softly even though my heart was pounding from my near heart attack.

She slightly eyed me up and down, "You're pretty," She said it like she was surprised, "Most of his friends are ugly." She shrugged.

I chuckled at her comment, but I was also curious about it, "And how many lady friends does he actually bring here?" I asked.

"Just you," She informed me; much to my confusion, until her next words cleared it up, "I was talking about the boys, they all smell like oil and come here looking like they're homeless."

I nodded in agreement with a laugh, "It's true, boys do smell."

She smiled back and held her hand out to me, "Kin is busy making me a sandwich, come with me, I want to show you my toys."

Surprised by her gesture, I accepted her hand. I've come to learn that when a child wants to show you their toys, it means they like you, "Lead the way my lady."
