Breaking The Code (Anakin Skywalker x Reader)

Chapter 22

Anakin POV:

I tried to contain my anger as (y/n) finished telling me what happened to her in the training room. A Sith is going to try and convince her to kill herself in the future? I felt a more protective side of me emerging now more than ever, but I probably should've expected that something like this might happen. Destroying the Sith is what she and I are meant to do, so it makes sense that they would try to find ways to stop us and prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled.

I continued to rub her back and listened as her sniffles began to ebb slowly, turning into deep breaths.

"Ani....what if that vision of the future actually happens? What if I can't stop it?" She asked in a sorrowful voice.

I looked down at her and saw that her head was still against my chest, "Hey, look at me."

She lifted her head off of me and sat up in front of me. I crossed my legs so she could sit in between them, and grabbed her shoulders.

"I will make sure that never happens. I'll protect you from the Sith, and I'll protect you from yourself."

She still looked uncertain but nodded anyways. I took her chin in my left hand and rubbed my thumb over it reassuringly, lightly caressing her bottom lip as well.

I know there wasn't much I could say to make her feel better, since I have no idea what enduring through those visions is like. But I could still be here for her, and that's all that matters right now.

But then another thought struck me. Now would be a good time to ask Yoda about the question I've been avoiding for a while now. I just needed to figure out a way to ask it that didn't make the attachment between (y/n) and I obvious. I wondered though, did that even matter at this point? If anything, it only makes sense that we should have an attachment for the sake of this prophecy and keeping our bond strong. A relationship is one thing that is probably still forbidden, but maybe the Council will be lenient on regular attachments.

Maybe I was being too hopeful, but I doubt they would kick us out of the order for this considering all that we've learned. I had that fear at the beginning when our feelings developed but not so much anymore.

"There's something important I need to go do, but I'll be back as quickly as possible. Will you be okay alone?" I asked.

She nodded and moved out of the spot between my legs to lay beside me, "I think I'm gonna try to get some sleep. Maybe I'll feel a bit better and more rested."

She closed her eyes and began breathing softly. I sighed and leaned down, kissing the area next to her lips. I hopped off of my bed and forced myself to leave the room and find Yoda, who was probably still in the training room. If anyone has all the answers to anything, it's him. As I suspected, he was still in the training room and was meditating, which is something he practically spends most of his days doing.

I took a deep breath and opened the doors, fidgeting with my robe as I stepped inside.

"Master Yoda? Could I have a word with you?" I asked while I continued to get closer to his sitting form. I tried my best to contain my nervousness but it was probably obvious by now.

"Troubling you, what is?" He asked while still keeping his eyes closed.

I started to pace back and forth as I thought of how to ask my question, "I uh—well, I was curious to know if this prophecy affects the way that (y/n) and I think or feel. Because you mentioned that our connection has to remain stable for us to bring balance, but is this connection forced? Or is it real because of our re—friendship."
