J.C. An unlikely love story (Thrawnxf!reader)

Home sweet home!

You adjust your sunglasses, it's a sunny day despite the clouds of pollution on Coruscant, and you can feel the wind in your hair. Leaning against the wall of the community shuttle stop you can't resist to take a holograph of the beautiful sun and freiters rings on your imager. You will post it later. You put it away, pull down your hat on your head and observe the different ships passing in front of you in their mish mash of lines that ribbon the sky. It is early in the morning but traffic is already high. School children walk among the salarymans and other office workers. Some hail a cab while others choose to walk. A group of youths are playing hard bass much to the regret of some walkers.

You approach the edge of the platform. That's your shuttle. You enter, validate your ticket and take a seat. Head resting in your hand and forehead against the window's glass you look outside as the ship took off, making your body vibrate.

It is your second leave since you took post in the marine, and you didn't think you would have to pass it that way, but oh well. You start humming a new tone you've heard as the skyscrapers get blurry with the motion. This is gonna be a rough day for your muscles, it's gonna be tiring but it is to help a friend.

You hold that though.

Helping a friend. You bite your inner cheek. You're not gonna dwell on that again... Thrawn doesn't see you in any other way, accept it!

But it is hard. Your reason tells you to cope with it but your heart cries every time, aching you from the inside.

You shake your head. No! Enough with this defeated energy!

You are young!

With a promisng start to a great career!

You always had your chance in the dating market, it's not gonna end now and you won't let it! You're not gonna wait for Thrawn forever and waste your best years, you need to dive right in, drink, fuck, smoke some spice (occasionaly) and make the most of your youth! Fuck this guy! Who does he think he is to shake you up like that? Starting today you take back control of your love life and forget him like the fling it was!

You take out your comlink, searching your contacts. Who would you be down to spend time with? How about one of your new coworkers? There are a few of them you could bite into. No, it will get messy with work. Someone outside of that circle, then. Do you want a fuckbuddy or a grounded relationship? Anything that makes you forget him you decide. You scroll down the list, searching for your heart's desire. Suddenly a contact holds your attention. You consider it, your finger stopped mid-movement. Your pupil dilates considerably reading the name.

"Thrawn wants what ?" You question, incredulous.

"He doesn't want, he needs." Eli corrects.

You put away your comlink for he doesn't hear you sigh at the comment.

"That's a detail..."

"He needs an apartment on Coruscant but he doesn't know anything about how we proceed here."

You flick your tongue.

"Can't he just stay at the barracks?"

"No."

"... He has been thrown out?"

"Yes."

You pinch the bridge of your nose. Oh the headaches in perspective...

"And why should I come? You don't need me for that, I have other plans than this."

You can hear Thrawn in communication with someone else in the background. It's not going well apparently.
