Breaking The Code (Anakin Skywalker x Reader)

Chapter 25

(a/n): Not really a TW but most of this chapter is pretty depressing, soooo prepare yourself if you need to

Anakin POV:

I was absolutely furious right now. All other emotions were banished from my mind as I ruminated on everything that just happened. I was just about to find out where Dooku has been hiding for all these years. I made Cad Bane think that I surrendered to him, that I would even join his side, and like a fool, he fell for it. And then right as I convinced him to reveal the classified whereabouts, (y/n) killed him heedlessly and ruined the whole thing.

I knew I was probably hurting her from how hard I squeezed her shoulders so I turned around and brought my fists to my forehead, walking forward and groaning out my frustrations.

"It'll be another blue moon before we might be able find that information again." I muttered bitterly.

With our luck in the war, probably not even a blue moon. I doubt we'll be able to get that kind of information at all. I know that's not positive thinking but the fact that this opportunity was just ripped away from me while I couldn't even fix it, makes this so much more infuriating. Anger was the only emotion I felt, because I couldn't think of a reason to feel anything else.

I closed my eyes and sighed, bringing my fists down to my sides, "That was the most mindless thing you've ever done." I walked out of the room without looking back at her.

I needed to cool off, and to tell Obi-Wan what happened since he's probably concerned by now. The three moons still shone brightly over the town and I could see Obi-Wan's shadow from behind a barrel.

I sighed and trudged over to him, "You can come out now, it's over." I said monotonously.

He instantly stood up and wiped his hair out of his eyes, looking around somewhat frantically. "What is going on?" He demanded in a confused and slightly horrified voice. When (y/n) ran away from her position, she probably didn't even tell Obi-Wan what she was doing.

I shook my head, causing my blonde curls to sway back and forth, "(y/n) charged inside and killed Cad Bane before I could get anything out of him. He was just about to tell me where Dooku is hiding out, but he didn't even get that far." I whinged in my still nettled attitude.

"My stars." Obi-Wan lifted his head up to the sky and ran his hands through his already messy hair. He took a deep breath as he sighed, and his sea-blue eyes were pervaded with vexation. He was just as appalled as I was, and it was evidently displayed through his expression as he looked to the sky.

Obviously I was still frustrated, but I was also genuinely surprised with how quickly everything escalated, and not a lot of things surprise me. (y/n) has never done anything like that before; she's never been so reckless. And that's saying something, coming from me. It was strange to see that side of her, the darker side. It was still hard to believe that that side of her even existed.

I remembered what she told me earlier through the force, and I could feel her nervousness about my response radiating off of her. That moment is such an opposing comparison to how she acted just now. I couldn't recognize the (y/n) I know, the one who's my girlfriend and best friend, inside of the person I saw that killed Cad Bane without thinking twice.

I sighed and sat on top of the barrel that Obi-Wan was previously ducking behind, and stared at my hands that sat in my lap.

Of course I love her, with all of my conceited, arrogant heart.

I just can't bring myself to say it right now, when I'm still in such a short-tempered mood. I'm worried that I might say or do something I'll regret in the heat of the moment, so I want to at least cool off some more and talk to her when I know I'll be levelheaded.
