Don't leave my side ever again

Chapter 31- The Deal

Fett carried me all the way back to the ship while I was still crying and raging with the hunter to let me go and be with my father, knowing that if he did left me there, I could've die when the death star took the last hit and exploded with troopers that weren't so lucky to escape like how the others did by taking the tie fighters available at the base before it exploded. Fett and I were back inside the Slave 1 jumping into hyperspace and stopped, he typed in a coordination, turned on the autopilot and let the ship do its thing. Fett relaxed in his chair while I was in his room, laying down on his bed to be precise and with ought the jet-pack, boots and helmet on so that I could be a bit more comfortable.

I could never understand why he was being so kind to me when he's an assassin and the fearsome hunter by many people, meaning that people see him as a no hearted person, but in my eyes...he isn't anything like how people describe him at all, at least that's what I thought for the way he's treating me. 'He's someone you used to know' my father's words came back to me like a boomerang, repeating those words over and over again. "If he's someone I used to know, how come I can't remember him or just anything?" I talked to myself as I stared at the ceiling of the ship. "And what kind of accident did my father mean?" I closed my eyes, exhaling deeply before opening them back again "someone help me understand.." I said lowly.

"Talking to yourself again?" A calm, soothing and robotic voice spoke from the door way, my head turns to the direction of the voice and saw the hunter standing on the door way looking at me, well that's what I thought cause he still had the helmet on, So I can't tell nor read his expressions. I turn to look up at the ceiling, soon getting up in a sitting position on the bed, bringing my legs to my stomach and wrapping my arms around them, hugging them. "I only do that when I have a lot in my mind" I respond just as calmly but my voice was still a bit sad from crying earlier. Footsteps approach me while I stared at nothing in front me, feeling the side of the bed gently sink like someone was sitting next to me. I didn't want to look at Fett for some reason, all I did was just listen to him.

"I'm...I'm so sorry about your fa-" I turned my body to face him and wrapped my arms around his neck, hugging hi tightly as I buried my face on my arm, I could tell he wasn't expecting that hug because his breathing stopped for a few seconds, his body tensed up a bit but after a bit, relaxed. "Thank you" I whispered next to his helmet where his ear is located under it. "For...for what?" His voice calm and confused asked what I meant. "For taking me to see my father, thank you" I reply being grateful for what this hunter did, sure I may not see my father anymore but I am really happy I got to see him before he's dreadful death.

After a few minutes of hugging the hunter, I broke the hug, slowly backing away from the hunter and leaving some space between us. Fett turns his head to face away from me, probably because of the hug. I felt instant regret from hugging him like and I just felt like I needed to apologize "sorry, I shouldn't have hugged you like that, not with ought your consent" I looked away as I rub my arm hoping that I didn't make him uncomfortable or mad about it. "No, its okay, I was just thinking about something" Fett responds, feeling his gaze on me but I didn't look back at him. I soon start to think about earlier, maybe if I ask Fett about what he knew about my father and he knows about me, he'll tell me, right? There was one was to find out, so I took my chances and spoke towards him.

"Fett" I called, he responds with a 'hm' sound as a what? "How do you know my father? And...what am I to you? I mean, What I used to be to you?" I guess theres a better way to ask that but I tried. I didn't get to see the reaction of the hunter since I was looking away from him but something told me that he wasn't expecting those questions. "As much as I want to tell you, I don't think that right now, is not the best time to ask that" he was about to stand up but I stopped the hunter by grabbing his armored wrist, holding him still. "Please Fett, I need to know, I can't continue living in a world were I don't even know who I am, who I really am, who I used to be" my eyes became watery as I looked directly into that T visor where his eyes should be.

"I need to know what you know, what accident did my father meant and also, what if you used to be someone important to me?" The hunter sighs sharply and defeated, his head lowering slightly as if he was looking at the floor before he look up to me again and placed his hand over mine "lets do something, i'll tell you everything I know about your father and you but only if you at least promise me that you'll take a rest for now, you need it" he offered a deal which to be honest, he was right about the fact that I needed to take a rest, I felt so tired, my body begging to lay down but there was one problem "okay deal but, I'm not planning on sleeping um...dirty on your bed" I scratched the back of my head, feeling embarrassed. Fett tilt his head for a moment before he turns his body and walked over to where he keeps his clothes.

"Um" I made a sound as I watched him pull out a black long sleeve and grey baggy pants, once he was done looking for some clothes he walked back to me and handed them to me. I look down at his clothes as I heard him "shower's down the hall to the left, go get freshened up and take a rest, I'll be by the deck if you need me" and just like that he march his way up to the door and left, not giving me the time to thank him.
