5-Very Thin Line
I sat up in the hospital bed as the doctor asked me a million and one questions. He'd ask me; what my name is, who master Yoda was, where was I, if I remember how I got here and etc. I answered all of them correctly. He wrote everything down in his chart and left the room, leaving me alone with Master Yoda.
"Feel better do you?" He asked as he sat on the seat next to my bed.
I nodded with a sigh, "Yeah I just have a headache, but other than that I feel fine." I shrugged, but winced a little at the stinging pain from my wounds. They were doing fine, but they still needed time to heal fully.
"Good." He nodded, then he picked up his cane and whacked me on the arm.
"Ow!" I exclaimed as I gripped my arm that now had a dull ache, "What the hell was that for?"
He shook his head in disappointment, "Reckless you were. Died you could have."
I rolled my eyes, "Okay, but I didn't," I responded with attitude, he quickly lifted his cane and I held my hand out to stop him, "Okay fine, I'm sorry, don't hit me!"
He smiled as he brought his cane back down, "Forgive you I do."
"Looks like the Princess is awake." A sandy blonde man walked into my room with a smirk.
I narrowed my eyes at him, "And you are?" I asked and his smirk fell as his eyes widened slightly. Now it was my turn to smirk, "Kidding, how could I forget an ugly face like yours Skywalker?" I chuckled.
Master Yoda shook his head at my comment and Anakin rolled his eyes as he stuck his hand in his cloak, "Your troopers found it." He pulled my lightsaber out and handed it to me.
I happily reached for it, I was worried I'd lost it when I fell, "Thank you." I told him as I eyed my weapon in my hand before placing it on my lap.
"You're welcome," He responded, still standing in the same spot. I expected him to walk out, but when he didn't, I looked up to him.
"Something else?" I asked, confused that he was still here.
He awkwardly looked around the room while avoiding eye contact, "Um how are you feeling?" He asked, still avoiding my gaze.
Then an idea came to mind, "Oh ow!" I scrunched over in 'pain' as I grabbed my abdomen. Master Yoda shook his head, he knew what I was doing.
Anakin on the other hand is dumb.
"Are you okay?" He asked as he quickly came to my side with worry on his face.
I let go of my stomach and looked up at him with a smirk, "Skywalker is that concern I hear?" How interesting.
He immediately gave me a scowl, "No, not for you." He snapped.
I narrowed my eyes, "Oh yeah; then for who? I seem to be the only one in a hospital bed." I gestured to my condition.
He snorted through his nose, "For-" he paused for a second, "Master Yoda's feelings, he was very upset about your stupid stunt. I don't want to see him sad if your dumb ass decides to die." That is the absolute worst lie I have ever heard in life.
I nodded slowly, "Right his feelings," I rolled my eyes, "Just admit that you were worried about me."
He laughed a humorless laugh, "Please, I couldn't care less." He huffed as he turned around and left the room.
"Nice talking to you!" I teased as I gave him a wave.
Master Yoda sighed, "Dumb, you two are."
I shot him a glare.

4 days later
"I win!" I smacked the cards down on the table. Captain Max sighed as he tossed me my credits, "This was a pleasure Captain." I stood up from the table that held him and a few of my troopers. Today was my first day out of the hospital and they all wanted me to come down and spend time with them. Which I of course agreed to. I loved spending time with my squad.
"I don't have the proof General, but you cheated." He shook his head as he gathered up the cards from the table.
I placed my hand on my chest, "Me; cheat? Never." I smirked. I may or may not have peaked into his mind a little bit. I'm not that good at it yet, but I'm getting a little better. Enough to know the cards he had. I know it's wrong, but I want a new pair of boots, sue me, "Alright men, this has been fun, but this girl needs rest. I have no doubt they're putting me back on duty soon, at least once Master Yoda lifts my temporary ban." I rolled my eyes, I get he's being cautious. But I like violence and adventure, I can't stay cooped up here. They stood up to salute me, "No none of that, I'm your friend right now, not your General." I smiled and they all rested their arms.
"Goodnight General (y/l/n)." They each said to me one at a time.
"Bye boys." I smiled as I exited their quarters.
Captain Max's POV
"Alright men, now that she's gone, we need to discuss something," I smiled as placed the cards in the box. They all looked at me curiously, "Its about our wager."
"Which one?" Dax asked as he leaned back on his bunk.
I chuckled, us clones do nothing but fight and place bets. It's all good fun though, "The romantic one between two certain Generals." I smirked.
"Okay, but the one with General Skywalker and General Kenobi; or the one with General Windu and General Ti; or General Skywalker and General (y/l/n)?" Jimmy asked as he hopped down from his bunk to sit in front of me, "Let's play one." He spoke as he grabbed the cards in my hand and took them out again.
I laughed at the amount of bets we have, "The last one."
"Oooh did something happen?" Another trooper asked from the other side of the room.
I nodded, "Sort of, he seemed awfully concerned about her condition when I told him she got hurt." I sung with a smile.
"You know, now that I think of it, he did seem rather upset on Felucia. I don't even think we were needed, he practically destroyed what was left of the army on his own." Another trooper chuckled from his bed.
"Right? Poor General Kalani never saw it coming either. General Skywalker practically crushed him with his mind juju stuff. He didn't even use his laser stick."
"Exactly what I'm saying men, so I figured why not up the stakes a little." I smiled as Jimmy passed me my cards.
"Oh you're so on, I give it another week before they're in each other's quarters."
"Nah more like a month."
"I say by tomorrow."
"I still think you're all crazy, have you seen how much they hate each other?"
I looked to the trooper who bet against it, "There's a thin line between love and hate my friend, a very thin line."
(y/n)'s POV
"Seriously; It is my first day back in the comfort of my own room and you have to do that?" I gestured behind him to his annoying punching bag.
He rolled his eyes, "Oh my- shut up, I liked it so much better when you weren't here."
I narrowed my eyes at him, "Is that why you came to see me everyday?" I smirked when his expression fell, oh yeah Master Yoda told me.
He shook his head, "I don't know what you're talking about."
I huffed, "Sure you don't."
He started to look uncomfortable, "Go away." He closed his door on my face, what an annoying ass.
I banged on his door one last time, "Just keep it down!" I shouted through the door before walking back to my room.
I dropped onto my bed and began using the force to balance my lightsaber above me. I enjoyed doing this when I was stressed or irritated. It's calming to focus on one thing and nothing else.
"Okay but who told you that?" My door slid open and Anakin's voice filled my room. It startled me out of my concentration and I dropped my lightsaber onto my nose.
I shot up, "fuck!" I yelled as I brought my hand to my bloody nose.
"Shit are you okay?" He asked as he grabbed a tissue from my table and placed it on my nose, "Tilt your head." He instructed and I did. He was pinching my nose with the tissue with one hand, and held the back of my head with the other.
"This is why you knock." I sighed in a nasal voice.
He sighed too, "I'm sorry, does it hurt?" He asked in a calm voice, I haven't heard him speak to me like this since we were kids. This moment kind of reminded of the time I fell in the garden.
"It's alright, I've had worse." I lightly laughed.
After a few moments he pulled the tissue away and I brought my head back down, "I think it's better now." He stood up and threw the tissue away. I let out a chuckle at his choice of words, "What's so funny?"
"I think it's better now." He pulled his robe away and pressed a gentle kiss on my forehead.
"You said that exact thing to me in the garden that day I fell." I informed him, doubting he would even remember. I feel like he's pushed every memory we've ever had away.
He chuckled as he looked away from me, "Don't expect me to kiss your nose." Oh, so he does remember.
I shook my head, "Don't worry, I wouldn't want any of your diseases." I smiled sarcastically.
He narrowed his eyes at me, "I don't have diseases."
I shrugged, "I don't know," I spoke in a sing-song tone, "You spend an awful lot of time in the cantinas, girls there are dirty." I scrunched my nose.
He rolled his eyes, "I go to drink my stress away, not for that."
My ears perked up, "So you're telling me you never.." Now I was just fishing for information. Out of curiosity of course, not that I actually care about what he does in his free time..
He tilted his head with a smirk, "Why do you care if I have or not?"
I shook my head, "I don't." I responded a little too quickly.
"Well have you?" He asked with curiosity.
"I'm not telling you that."
He shrugged, "Well then I'm not telling you either."
I sighed wanting to change the subject, "Why did you come in here in the first place Skywalker? I doubt your intention was to almost break my nose." I sat back and leaned up against my headboard.
He crossed his arms, "I just wanted to know who lied and said I went to your room."
"Master Yoda and he doesn't lie." I smiled. Why can't he just admit he was there, it's not even that big of a deal.
He sighed, "Fine, but I only went because your troops asked me to." He revealed and I felt a little pain in my chest. That was weird, I don't know why that hurt my feelings, I was already used to him being an ass. I guess a part of me kind of wished he still cared.
"Alright well, I'm going to sleep now so if you can-" I gestured to the door. My voice came out sadder than I wanted it to.
He tilted his head at me again, "Did that hurt your feelings?"
I shook my head, "No, of course not," I avoided his gaze. "I don't care that you don't care about me. I'm used to it." I fake smiled.
He sighed, "(y/n)-" he stopped speaking, "Never mind, goodnight." He waved his hand and the door opened so he could walk out. He left so fast that I didn't even get a chance to ask what he was going to say.
I laid back on my bed and shut off my light. But I wasn't tired anymore. I sat back up and opened my nightstand to pull out a necklace, the same one he gave me on my 12th birthday.
Flashback
"Okay, open it." He smiled happily as he placed the tiny box in my hand.
I chuckled at his excitement, it was adorable. I opened the box to reveal a Japor snippet, "Oh Ani I love it!" I exclaimed as I held it up and eyed it with adoration.
"I made it myself." He smirked as he gestured for it so he can put it on me.
I chuckled as I handed it to him and turned around, "I love it even more then, I think it's beautiful ." I slightly blushed when I felt his hands on the back of my neck as he laid the necklace down.
"A Princess deserves beautiful things." He commented causing me to turn around and face him. I didn't realize he was so close and our noses touched. But neither of us backed away. We both stared into each other's eyes. My heart was beating rapidly and I wanted to-
"What's going on here?" We both jumped at the voice.
"Nothing Master Kenobi." We responded together.
Flashback ends
I ran my fingers gently on the necklace, then I placed it on. I sighed at the memory of it. The one I had made him was in the drawer as well, but I haven't taken it out since the day I moved into this room five years ago. When they decided to put us next to each other. And I don't plan to take it out anytime soon either, it brings up a bad memory.
I heard the sound of paper sliding and I looked over to my door to see a small note on the ground. I got up out of bed and picked it up to read it.
No.
