I Am No Jedi: Ahsoka x Reader

Before-10

edit: changed a bit of the scene cos i didnt realise that lightsabers dont emit passive heat

After wandering around the tunnels aimlessly, with no sign of their kyebrs, the two stumbled into a dead end. The passage suddenly stopped with no warning. y/n would have walked directly into the stone wall had Ahsoka not pulled him back in time.

The two younglings stared at the wall; y/n in annoyance, Ahsoka in impatience.

"Seriously? This is harder than I thought," y/n groaned, and kicked a rock near him. Immediately, he slipped and fell with a loud yelp.

"What have you gotten yourself into this time?" Ahsoka smirked and crossed her arms.

"I didn't do anything!" he replied irritably.

As she approached him, the Togruta noticed something peculiar.

y/n had slipped on a large piece of ice. They hadn't seen ice ever since the collapsed cliff had carried them down into the tunnel.

Ahsoka knelt and examined the frozen substance.

"So...?" y/n questioned and picked himself up. He almost walked over the ice again but Ahsoka saved him from another fall.

"Ice. Hmm, I wonder why this is here," she contemplated.

"I don't see anything," y/n replied, visibly confused.

Ahsoka rolled her eyes at his lack of observation.

"Here," she said, guiding his hand to the cold, wet ice. His fingers retreated on instinct when he felt the sudden chill pass through his skin.

The boy unclipped his lightsaber from his belt and ignited one blade. Immediately, the passage was bathed in a sharp red glow. The light was refracted by the ice, and sent long, white gleaming streaks glinting on the cave wall like thin white scars. Ahsoka jumped away as soon as she heard the hiss of his weapon.

She looked at him and asked, "Are you sure that's allowed here?"

y/n shrugged. "They'll never know." He narrowed his eyes, then declared, "Step back."

Ahsoka cautiously retreated to a safe distance and was about to ask him what he was planning, but her friend had already plunged the sizzling blade into the ice. An eruption of steam suddenly exploded outwards with a deafening hiss. The violent vapour explosion would have burned y/n if he hadn't been ready to shield himself using the Force.

He extracted his weapon from the water and turned it off, retreating from the edge.

Instead of slicing through the ice effortlessly, the lightsaber had bored a hole, melting and vaporising layers, whilst water formed around the blade and quickly turned into superheated steam. A jet of boiling water and steam shot upwards from pit, bubbling relentlessly for a few seconds even after y/n had removed his blade.

"Now what?" Ahsoka asked, echoing the thoughts in his own head. She had recoiled from the edge of the pit after seeing the searing splashes. The water was hissing angrily like a Moraband serpent, and ready to strike like one too. However, she had to admit the warm steam evaporating from the hole and obscuring their vision with clouds of vapour was a nice change to the never-ending cold of Ilum.

Ahsoka closed her eyes. She could feel something down there, at the bottom of the hole, something that called her name.

y/n did the same. He too could sense an object in the pit.

They both knew what it was. They both needed it. They both didn't have much time.

They were both competitive. And there was only one kyber crystal.
