stay alive (luke skywalker)

A/N: Yes, this oneshot is semi-inspired by the Hamilton song Stay Alive. I thought it would make a cute fluff with all that. <3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"luke."

your voice echoed out into the dark corridor between the holding cell you had been placed in and another cell.

"luke!"

you knew he heard you, your voice filled with anguish and unknown thoughts that made you too nauseated to be said out loud.

you felt his presence, with the force, perhaps above you fighting someone.

you were tired, and cold, and hungry, and while in this jail cell, you had come to a very sickening conclusion: you were in love with luke skywalker. the bruises and gash on your leg ached, the bandages were wrapped too tight causing the gash to bleed more.

why is that sickening? for years, luke had teased you...days on end in the old village would have been him making fun of you. now, he was your only hope..

you didn't dare communicate with him now, for you knew he couldn't possibly care about a dismissed little girl like you.

but maybe...

no! i can't think that. i've thrown my life into this rebellion and i will not have my thoughts overtaken by luke.

but what it would be like to kiss him-

you hear pounding steps coming down the hallway, and a voice calls your name out.

oh, gross, it's luke.

please, this was the man you were just wondering about kissing-

"y/n, i know you don't like me, but i'm here to get you out."

"whoa." luke has caught sight of your leg.

"seriously, i'm getting you out of here."

he broke the bars on the cell, then leaped inside only to pick you up and get you out.

oh, how nice it is to be held in luke's arms...

stop!!

"are you okay?" he looks down at you.

"yeah. fine. just, get me out."

"y/n, we need to talk."

you rolled your eyes.

"luke, what do you want?"

"listen, y/n, i know i'm not exactly your favorite person ever, but i was recently noticing that i'm on your mind a lot more. you're distracted."

"luke! did you read my thoughts?"

"i..i'm sorry, i shouldn't have."

"well, that secret's out."

"i just wanted you to know that i love-"

the moment is interrupted by vader knocking you out of luke's arms and onto the floor, then pushing him out of the way to gain access to you.

holding luke back with the force, vader turns to you.

you see luke begin to cry, and his face is red.

"please. let me go!"

"why should i?" vader asks.

"n-no. at least let luke go. i'm willing to go for him."

"y/n! no!"

vader gives luke to the count of 10 to escape, and he does, promising to come back for you later through tears.

the last thing he told you was he loved you.

a few minutes later, you had taken several lightsaber hits to your right leg, and you were bleeding badly. you felt light-headed, most likely from loss of blood.

in your trance-like situation someone picks you up, assumably luke, and takes you to a room somewhere.

you don't really know what's going on, but black out.

when you wake up, you keep your eyes closed as you attempt to remember where you were.

"please, obi-wan, can't you tell me something about her?"

"no, luke, i'm afraid not."

you hear luke sobbing quietly, and feel him place a hand on yours.

"stay alive......" he says shakily.

"stay alive." he repeats.

you flicked your eyes open, and luke was trembling. 

"obi-wan, she's awake." he shakily whispered.

"luke, come here." you managed to choke out that one sentence.

"yes, love, what do you need?"

you kissed him, and told him if it weren't for him you probably wouldn't be alive.

"i love you, skywalker."

"just stay alive."

"i will, i promise!"

"just stay alive." he repeats once more, stroking the side of your face and smiling down at you.
