Anakin Skywalker Imagines

a sign

A/N: it's 4 in the morning but I'm writing this little blurb right now hehe
SONG: Fireflies (slowed) by Owl City

The dark bedsheets pooled around you as you laid on your back, eyes fixated on the vast galaxy framed by the skylight above your bed. Every night, you laid to one side of the bed, making sure your husband's side of the bed remained how he had left it months ago when he left to fight for the war, in case he came back in the middle of the night.

Being wife to a General of the Clone Wars took a toll on you. You longed for the days far before the war, when you spent your nights at home with Anakin, making dinner together in the kitchen of your shared quarters, where he would turn on his small radio and dance with you while your food burned. Anakin loved dancing. He loved to sway with you, bodies intertwined, heartbeats in sync with one another, whispering sweet nothings to one another.

You hated sleeping alone, you much preferred the nights he would lie with you in bed, staring out at the never ending universe above you. He would tell dramatic recollections of his adventures, you knew he was a theatrical storyteller, but it made him happy when you believed every detail he shared, no matter how crazy, so you always went along with it.

But for now, you lie awake as your husband commanded a clone army somewhere far away from the Jedi Temple, where you were to remain to assist with the Jedi Council's diplomatic matters. Not being to feel Anakin's presence was terrifying, he could have been literally anywhere in the galaxy while you were stuck here to lose sleep staring up at the stars, hoping for a sign from him.

You had been analyzing the night sky for hours, searching for abnormalities or shifts in the Force but to no avail. You had become exhausted, and soon felt your eyelids drooping, making it increasingly harder for you to keep your eyes open.

Drifting off to sleep, you found yourself dreaming of piloting your own spacecraft, gliding leisurely across the stars. Your ears picked up a faint whisper, and your intuition told you to try and understand what it was saying.

As you continued to pilot through the stars, the whisper became increasingly clearer, and a familiar husky voice called out to you one last time as you snapped awake from your dream.

"Y/N, Y/N it's me darling. I'll be home soon my love."

Anakin's voice rang through your ears as your eyes shot back up to the skylight above you, where you were met with the faint image of your husband's deep blue eyes staring back at you, the thousands of stars within his irises flaring as if he had set them all ablaze just for you. His words washed you with a feeling of relief. He would be home soon.

Knowing you received his message loud and clear, the picture of his eyes faded away, but not without a characteristic Anakin wink. You smiled to yourself as you drifted back off to sleep, knowing you'd soon be able to hold onto him and never let him go.

eek first post hope you enjoyed! ❤️
