(y/n)'s POV
I danced around the empty room, occasionally looking at myself in the mirror to make sure I held a perfect posture. My teacher, Master Yoda is what he likes to go by, left early for personal matters. So I have been here on my own dancing my stress away for the past hour. Which is the reason I took up dance in the first place, it is not necessary or mandatory, but I adore having a hobby that made me feel free for a few hours.

Plus, my teacher is the only person who does not treat me like a future Queen, he talks to me like I am a normal girl. He even occasionally swats me with his cane if I do something wrong, not too hard of course, but hard enough to where I will not make the same mistake another time. It has worked well, he says my technique has grown from sloppy to nearly gorgeous.

Emphasis on the nearly.

I stood in the corner of the room and ran a small distance forward to jump into a leap, which I hit gracefully. My feet hit the floor once more and I immediately began to perform a long Pirouette(spin); I did about two to three spins until I finally noticed another figure in the room watching me from the doorway.

I stopped my movements and kept my eyes on the blue eyed man, "How long have you been there?" I asked in between pants, the tiredness I was feeling could be heard in my voice.

Anakin shrugged, "When you did some jump thingy." He answered and I chuckled at his choice of words.

I slowly walked over to him and I squinted slightly in pain; my feet were killing me. I hardly took a break these past two hours that I have been in here, "Why are you here?" I asked as I picked up the water that was next to his feet, "You know I prefer to be alone during this time."

It's the slowed version since the regular version was too short for this section and I placed it on top for easy access 🥰

He reached into his pocket and pulled out what looked to be a napkin. He slowly unfolded it and revealed two sugar cookies wrapped inside, which happens to be my favorite snack, "I know you get hungry after you dance," He held the cookies towards me, "I brought something small since I know we just had dinner, although you did not eat as much as I felt you should have."

I took a drink of the water before setting it back down on the floor. A smile spread on my lips as I eagerly reached for the treats, "It seems you do know me better than I thought." I grabbed one of the cookies and took a small bite, "And I was also not very hungry earlier, but with everything that went on today, I do not believe I can be blamed."

"No you can not be." He responded in a cocky tone.

I broke the cookie I had in my hand in half, "Do you want to share with me?" I held it out to him, the piece that did not have the bite I took.

He nodded and grabbed the half I was holding towards him, "Thanks, believe it or not, I have never had this flavor before." He revealed; prompting my eyes to widen as I took a bite of my own.

I moaned at the taste dramatically; causing him to chuckle, "Well you are in for a treat." I responded as I gestured for him to try it.

He went to bite a small piece off and I rolled my eyes as I pushed his hand so the dessert went halfway into his mouth; giving him a bigger bite, "Not bad." He commented as he chewed it, "But chocolate chip is still much better." He smirked while he put the other half in his mouth.

I rolled my eyes again, finishing my own, "Well thank you for bringing me something, but I do not plan to leave for at least another hour." I was having a good time in here, ignoring all responsibilities that the outside world had waiting for me.
