Imagine “special editions” songs III

“Silenced By The Night”.

Imagine you and Anakin Skywalker leave the Order behind….right before he was about to be tempted to join the Dark Forces.

Warnings: fluffy, drama, light reading.

Warnings 2: based on the aforementioned title of a Keane song.

Recommendations: the whole “Strangeland” album.

***

You find Anakin staring into the Jedi Temple from the window, hands clasped behind his back. This day he is dressing darker robes. The ultimate change of the color of his Jedi robes does not go unnoticed to you.

You stand quietly by the door, observing him, going unnoticed by this grand General whom everyone admires. Your eyes linger at the tension of his shoulders at the same time you perceive his hair is beginning to grow longer, which makes you smile before you even notice his handsomeness is the reason why you smile, hence why you are known as smiler… whenever the two of you are found together your demeanor is always cheerful.

Eventually he feels the weight of your gaze, exposing your signature. Anakin hasn’t been having a good day today—once again he’s been knocked by Obi-Wan and once more he’s been told about his pride and eagerness to win him over—-and yet here you are. A sight to behold.

“Y/nickname”, he turns at you, a smile on his face. His mind goes instantly blank when his gaze meets yours. His heart skips a beat. “How long have you been there?”

“Long enough to watch you”, you answer him back, smiling wide as he blushes before your answer. Then you just run into his arms and he hugs you tight, lifting you and spinning you around before pulling you down.

“Yeah?”, says he, his blue eyes twinkling as he stares down at you. Anakin is so much taller than you, making the difference between the two of you a funny thing to observe. “What has caught your curious mind, little one?”

You squeeze his cheek, distracting him a little bit a you caught him off his guard. Anakin laughs and it’s only then the tension in his body finally dissipates.

“You are wearing darker robes”, you remark at last, earning from him a pair of raised eyebrows.

“I have always preferred sober tones to dress because I am that practical”, so he says rather sarcastically.

You seem to disagree, but seeing how sarcasm is his way to push matters away and rise his walls, you don’t insist on the matter. Instead, you divert away.

“If you say so. Our trials are coming”, you say with a smile on your lips. When the mischief twinkles in your eyes, Anakin knows there is nothing to be concerned himself with. Well, to some extent that is. “I was thinking whether we could go flying again…”

Anakin laughs harder now.

“What is so funny in my request?”, you inquire, rather offended by how he laughs at you.

“Oh dear Y/N… You never cease to surprise me, and that is to say a lot”, so he muses entertained. “There is no one in this world who can surprise me. Sometimes you are predictable, up to follow orders, scowling at me for ignoring rules…”

“But of course, Anakin. I can list the times you were imprudent and reckless…”

He ignores your comment.

“…and even so, here you are, willing to be dragged to my rather reckless and rebellious flying.” Anakin is still laughing as he shakes his head. “I don’t think I’ll ever understand you.”

You blush and punch his arm.

“You are an idiot, Anakin Skywalker.”

And despite his mockeries, he does take you for a rather reckless trip after all.

***

Even as Jedis, even as now Anakin is widely regarded as General Skywalker, you remain attentive towards the darker robes he wears. His hair is longer and your eyes often stare at his curls for more time than you’d like to, admiring the adult male he’d grown to.

You cannot tell why this deeply troubles your mind, though. It makes you frown, you detest that color, preferring cheerful tones like red or pink—your saber is bright pink, as a matter of fact.

“You are overthinking”, a whisper behind you gets you startled. Anakin sees the blush that paints your cheeks, a sight he likes to behold. Yet, he senses something is bothering you. “What’s up, Y/nickname?”

You cast him a somber look before shaking your head in disapproval.

“Goodness me, Skyguy, you are such an annoyance.”

He gives you a smug side smirk.

“You like it, just admit it”, he teases you, but the way he looks at you makes your knees go weak.

Does he know?

“What are you talking about?”, you laugh away nervously.

Oh yes, he knows. He’d always known.

“You know what I am talking about. I’ve sensed your eyes following me since I was in the room and yet you haven’t come to greet me”, he accuses you in a playful tone.

“Well”, you raise your eyes at long last despite the evident pink that colors your cheeks, “I’ve been rather…”

You are interrupted by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who wants to talk to Anakin in private. The joy between the two of you gives place to tension, as you see the irritation in his demeanor.

“Master, I thought we have settled some questions in regards to Dooku.”

“It is worse than I thought. I need a word with you, Anakin. Now”, as if remembering you are there, Obi-Wan softens and smiles at you. “Hello there, General Y/LN. How do you do?”

You bow your head, feeling you are ghosting yourself when you respond him:

“I am doing well, Master Kenobi, thank you. I hope to find you well also.” Turning at Anakin, you say: “I am going after Ahsoka and see what she’s been up to.”

And that is you are about to do when Obi-Wan gravely says:

“I’m afraid that is not possible, General Y/LN. Ahsoka has been detained under accusations of betrayal against the Order and…”

“What?!” Anakin exclaims, horrified.

That is going to be a terrible week, you come to notice. The arrest of Ahsoka Tano, Anakin’s padawan, would affect you too. You start seeing the vanity corrupt the Order you’ve been devoted to, how they dismiss the proper investigation to a younger girl and how even your master ignores the pleas to investigate the conduct of Palpatine, whom you begin to suspect to be behind this whole thing involving Ahsoka.

It’s just a feeling. It will pass.

You try to ignore, but the more you do, the more nightmares you begin to have. It starts afflicting you.

So what you do is… isolate yourself for a while. Anakin notices something is wrong with you, but he only comes for you when Ahsoka is properly reinstated to the Order, and although her accusations are cleansed, she refuses to go back.

By the time he meets you, you notice he is now dressing black. Which only reflects his mood. You don’t judge him, feeling as distressed as he is.

“She left us”, he tells you before bursting into tears.

You hold him tight, aware he has attachment issues—just like you, though. Anakin does not know, but when night comes, it is as if you are divided from all you’ve come to know—hence why you hold against him.

“I’m so sorry, Ani. I truly am. Come here, I want to take you to a place I used to go when I was a toddler.”

He gives you a curious look before following you like a lost puppy. Soon, the two of you get to the part where you used to have astronomy class under the guidance of Master H/N.

“It’s beautiful”, whispers Anakin. “The twilight here is amazing.”

So you two take a seat at a comfortable spot, watching the far away galaxies rising in the dark blue sky right before your eyes.

“We are often too busy to notice we are part of a whole bigger picture. It does feel good to feel small at times, makes us humble”, so you speak.

Your eyes are intently glued on the sky, and it’s by watching you that Anakin reads you. Aware of how you feel, only now he takes notice of your growing concern towards him.

“Y/N…” He takes your hand before gently placing a finger under your chin so your face turns to meet his. “Why didn’t you never tell me about how you feel?”

You blush, but you don’t run away from his inquiring. You watch as your fingers naturally interlock with his before raising your y/c eyes to meet his blue ones.

“I did not wish to bother you, not when there were so much going on with you, and I don’t mean to say Ahsoka.”

Yet something about you indicates there is another reason to. Anakin gently presses a thumb over your wrist, eyeing you as if inviting you to an unannounced tempest.

“There is another reason.”

You realize by how he locks gaze with you that you have been captured by his web.

“I thought…” You clear your throat, but before words reach your tongue, the smile on Anakin’s face disconcerts you. “Anakin! Stop reading my mind!”

He laughs before involving you in a tender embrace.

“We’ve been divided by circumstances for so long! Silly girl, I was never in love with Senator Padmé Amidala…”

And simple as that you betray yourself.

“Oh please! I’ve seen how you look at her!”, you scoff back.

Anakin delights at your jealousy. He nuzzles against your neck, bringing you to closer to him as you now sit in between his legs.

“I’ve never looked at her the same way I looked at you, but damn it you are far too slow to realize that, uh?” As you turn your face in surprise, Anakin chuckles. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Because you can’t be serious”, you protest. “Anakin…”

“I am being very serious.” He beams. “You are the world to me, Y/nickname. Better yet, the sun of this galaxy upon which I gravitate around.”

You smile wide at him, very content for being reciprocated. Delicately, you turn at him, despite hating to leave the comfort you spot you’ve settled to.

“Good to know that. I’d detest to think I had competition”, you tease him, but Anakin can tell you are serious.

When looking at your hair, tied in a long braid, and then at your oval face with delicate features, swimming into your y/c eyes, he drowns into your soul.

“You are the river, and I am the ocean. We are both deep and intense”, he muses thoughtfully, stroking your cheeks as he cups each with his hands.

“We’ve been divided from the light for too long”, you whisper. “The true light resides here, in our hearts.”

“I love you, Y/N.”

As you rest your forehead against his, placing your hands over his shoulders, you close your eyes and smile.

“I love you more, Skyguy.”

And just like that he kisses you for the very first time.

***

Yet, the peace is only momentarily. As the days go on and your relationship remains in secret, bad dreams start to distress you…as much as he grows arrogant towards his own fellow Jedis. Each time, he distances himself from his former Master, discussing and arguing with others such as Mace Windu.

You are not entirely different either. Your missions have been frustrated because of other Jedis who do not acknowledge your worth. Once, Anakin, who is coming back frustrated from a meeting with Palpatine, happens to find you in a heat argument with Master H/N. Something he never thought he’d one day see because you are the exact opposite of his temper.

“I swear, by the Maker, you can’t be serious! You know I have no reason to lie! Books are there to instruct us, and with all due respect…”

“You are not a Master yet to call yourself one.”

You blush furiously and Anakin, from an unseen spot, shares your frustration. I’ve been too blind to see you’ve been suffering the same, Y/N.

Seeing how you struggle with your tears, he waits for the right timing before showing up.

“Obi-Wan is waiting for you, Master H/N.” Anakin says rather cooly. The door is barely closed when he comes to your aid. “My love, my love… Hey, what’s going on? Please talk to me.”

He holds you close, rocking you in his arms as the Jedi hopes to sooth your distress. He strokes your hair and once your sobs end, you tell him what happened.

“They are blind, Y/N”, Anakin tells you in such an angry tone that you step backwards, albeit parting reluctantly the embrace, to check his emotions. “They are blind by their vanity and their pride. They are so full of themselves!”

You wish you could tell him otherwise, and perhaps Anakin is expecting you to by how you glance at him.

“They asked me to spy Palpatine and…”

Your eyes go wide and you take his hands, cutting his words immediately.

“Ani, as right as you are, please don’t do that. Don’t spy Palpatine.” And before he even asks, you are suddenly moved by some blunt part of you unbeknownst to yourself. “Let’s run away.”

Anakin looks at you baffled.

“Uh? What? What are you talking about, Y/N?”

“We’ve been silenced for so long.” You start to chew this idea. “We’ve been divided from what the Order used to be. Ahsoka was brave, I see that now. What other reason do we have to stay? You doubled your powers as did I. To rise again, we cannot be attained to this Order, or to anything else. But Palpatine is dangerous, Ani. He’s been in my dreams… I know you don’t believe me, but…”

He softens when seeing right through you, your shaky body language, the insecurities in your eyes. No one had believed in your dreams, or put any kind of faith in your capacities. When reading your memories, Anakin realizes you’ve been through the same path as his.

“I will always believe in you, Y/N”, he embraces you again, breathing the scent of your hair as he kisses the top of your head. “Don’t cry, my love. You know you are the priority of my heart. I don’t like seeing you sad.”

“Let’s elope.” You suggest again. “Call me whatever you like, but…”

When looking for his eyes, you know there is no need to say more. But your fears are soothed once and for all when Anakin gives you a crooked grin.

“You know what? Fuck them all. Let’s elope.”

And so do you. No more Jedis, no more clone wars. No more Siths. It’s just you and Anakin.

***

Epilogue.

By the time Ahsoka Tano finds you, a lot has happened in three years. As you recapitulate to her, you and Anakin fled from Coruscant without leaving any sort of warning.

“We took our things, the most important ones anyway, and we flew far away from that planet, far away from the Jedis.”

And this doesn’t mean it was easy You both came across the Venturess, for example, and others who served the Sith purposes. A fight happened, and Obi-Wan almost got the track of you.

Eventually, though, both of you managed to successfully escape the tentacles of the clone wars. For a year, you established right into the depths of planet Y/C, known for its neutrality in this conflict.

There, Anakin asked you to be his wife. Also there you conceived. A new, better life started. Now, Anakin is a pilot and you, a farmer. Luke is often with his dad, and his twin sisters, Leia and Margery, stay with you.

“But how exactly did you find us, dear Ahsoka?” You ask her all the whilst serving her tea and reprehending Margery for playing with Ahsoka’s tentacles, despite it bringing amusement to your husband’s former padawan.

“A lucky guess”, she dismisses the conversation. “I’ve been flying around, you see. Republic has settled again, so all has been in peace…”

You and Anakin are told that Palpatine has been discovered by Master Windu as the author of the Sith orchestrations. Obi-Wan Kenobi defeated Count Dooku all the whilst Palpatine was placated by the aforementioned Jedi Master.

“But the Jedi Order has not been the same ever since the mysterious escape of both of you. Some rules have changed so I have heard.”

“Have you considered going back, though?”, Anakin asks, and you realize he’s been quiet ever since the topic has been brought up.

“No”, she responds him gently, but firmly. “I am here for you, Master, but not for them.”

“Good”, Anakin smiles. “Welcome back, Snips.”

Later that day, when both of you are in bed and you pull the blankets over yourselves, you lean against him and contemplate his handsomeness. Anakin is turning the light off when he senses your eyes on him.

“What?”, he asks you in between chuckles. “Why do you look at me with your big, intent y/c eyes, love of my life?”

You love how he cuddles against you, nuzzling your neck as his hands are all protective to you. You love how possessive he is to you, because you mirror his possessiveness too. One completes the other.

“Because I wonder at times if you feel like going back to field. Do you miss the Order?”

“In all frankness?”

“Yes, please.”

“No, I don’t. And honestly fuck them.” He kisses your lips rather passionately before parting to look at you. “Why? Do you?”

“Very honestly?”

Anakin chuckles.

“Yes, love.”

“I don’t. I’ve never been this happy before.”

If you have sensed his darkness in some moment during the day, now it dissipates. Balance is reached and when he comes for you, you welcome him in a blissful harmony.

When your lips collide and your bodies unite, no soul can disarray. You came to stay, and Anakin knows more than anything.

You belong to him and he belongs to you.
