okay sorry for the rant ON WITH THE SOFTNESS

"I won't see you tomorrow morning before I'm dispatched," Anakin said as he gently caressed his Padawan's forehead with his thumb. "So I'm just going to say goodbye now." 

Her brow markings furrowed in response to his words, and she shifted her head on her pillow.

"I can wake up early!" she insisted in a whisper.

"No," Anakin replied- gentle, yet firm. "You don't get nearly enough sleep, du tazi unt."

She smirked at the endearment. Anakin's Togruti had certainly gotten better in the year and a half that she'd known him for.

"Mi nah k'ya yeh ke ge, sa'daar... not without me." She and Anakin both knew it was just her exhaustion that caused her lower lip to protrude and begin to tremble- she was fifteen, and didn't cry very much.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, bringing his hand down to cup her cheek and wipe the tears away with a quick swipe of his ungloved thumb. "Please don't cry, Snips."

She sniffled, turning on her side to hide her face in his palm.

"Stay for a little longer... please, Anakin."

He pursed his lips, forehead wrinkling as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"Okay," he replied, thumb now tracing over the edges of the winged marking on her cheek.

Ahsoka closed her eyes, leaning in to the touch. The tears stopped, but she was still shaking. He didn't know why she was so worked up over this- he'd been on tons of solo missions before.

Whatever it was, he wouldn't pressure her for any answers- she likely didn't even know what was going on with herself. But he'd be there for her.

He always would.

"Can I try something?" he asked, readjusting his position on the ground to take the pressure off of his knees. "I think it might help you feel better.

It was almost too dark to see, but he felt her nod against his skin.

"Alright, good. Just- uh, you can stay in your bed if you want, or you can come sit with-"

He could hardly get the words out before she practically jumped out of her bed and into his lap.

"-me," he chuckled, wrapping his arms around her middle as she adjusted her position until she was comfortable.

Her trembling had calmed down by a lot by the time he scooted backwards, leaning his back against her bed.

"Did they ever sing you lullabies in the Crèche when you were a youngling? Well, I mean, you still are a youngling-"

"Hey."

"Just teasing, Snips," he said with a smile that she couldn't see. She chuckled, bringing her arms up around his before answering his question.

"Uh, no... they didn't, but... you can, y'know... if you wanted to."

He laughed softly at the way she tried to hide her blatant eagerness.

"I'd like to."

She nodded, relaxing even more into his hold as he began to hum.

He gently rocked them from side to side in a slight sway as his brain worked quickly to translate the words his mother had sung to him on Tatooine into Basic. He attempted to work some Togruti into the song as well, knowing that Ahsoka's native language often calmed her down. He didn't know much of the language, but he tried as best as he could as he began to sing.

"Remember me, though I have to say goodbye, remember me," he began in a raspy whisper, his voice cracking every so often from the low volume. "Don't let it dau yeh yihl."

The moment the Togruti slipped from his tongue, Ahsoka let out a tiny gasp, promptly sending a message through their force bond.

Du meht bhat'si this ke me!

He kissed the space between her montrals in acknowledgement.

"For even if I'm far away, I'll hold yeh eh du behm, mi bhat'seh-"

"Bhat'si," Ahsoka corrected in a whisper.

"-bhat'si a secret song to you each night we are apart," Anakin sang, laughing quietly through the word he'd mispronounced.

Ahsoka shifted in his lap, turning around so she could stuff her tear-streaked face into his neck while he rubbed her back soothingly.

"Remember me," he continued, swaying on each beat, "though I have to travel far, remember me, each mig yeh ghek a sad guitar."

She lifted her face from his collar, singing softly along with him, Anakin lowering his voice so that he could hear hers.

"Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be," they said together, bumping their foreheads against one another's. Anakin nuzzled his nose against hers, and her face instantly broke out into a smile, making her giggle through the next line.

"Until you're in my arms again," they paused. Anakin squinted his eyes slightly, trying to emphasize the message of the song before continuing on to the next line. Ahsoka nodded against him, holding eye contact as they sang,

"Remember-" Ahsoka broke away, tucking herself comfortably against her brother's chest.

"-me..." Anakin finished, still swaying as Ahsoka snuggled up against him. He sighed into her montrals, about to ask a question when Ahsoka answered before he could get the words out.

"'m okay."

"Mm, I'm glad," he murmured, pressing another kiss to her head. "Goodnight, tunguma."

"'Daughter'?" she asked sleepily, not fully processing his words.

"Yeah," Anakin replied softly. "Daughter."

the song is "remember me" from coco!!
