You hated Anakin Skywalker. Simple as that!

Not detested, not despised, not disliked. You loathed him.

You had been the top two younglings in your class, you beating him in force abilities, but him beating you in combat. You were both taken on as padawans,
Obi-Wan for Anakin, and Mace Windu for you.

Even when you saw each other less, you would still take a jab and make snide remarks at him whenever you saw him.

You had just gotten out of a training session with Mace Windu, where at the end he had told you you would be going on a mission with Anakin. Your whole mood had been soured at the news; even more so when Anakin came up to you in the hall, "what do you want, waste of space?"You ask turning to face him.

"Jeez who spit in your oatmeal, short-stack ?"He asked smirking.

You roll your eyes at him and turn back around to continue walking when he grabs your arm and stops you. You raise your eyebrow and look down at his hand on your robed arm. He instantly removed it, "sorry!"He said. "I thought we could go over a strategy for the mission?"He proposed to you.

You scoffed,"just because we are going on this mission together doesn't change anything! I still hate you! You still hate me, and that's never gonna change! So cut it with the civility act!" You tell him pushing past him and walking down the hall.

This made you unable to see the heartbroken expression on Anakin's face. Because in actuality Anakin had never hated you, not once. He had just always been competitive. But your words confirmed that you thought he hated you, when in reality it was the exact opposite.

In fact the word hate was so far removed from his feelings of you that it didn't even exist.
But the sad part was you hated the boy who held unrequited feelings for you.

When you reached the sanctuary of your quarters you pulled out your lightsaber and ignited it. The amethyst blade identical to your master's gleamed back at you. You sighed and deactivated it, then tossed it onto your bed.

You realized you shouldn't have blown up on Anakin. He was just being nice after all. You laid on your bed and tossed your arm over your eyes lazily. I'll apologize to him tomorrow! You decided and fell fast asleep.

The next morning your comm woke you up and you grabbed it and answered. "WHAT?"You grumble annoyed.

"(y/n) where are you? You have 5 minutes to get down to the docking bay!"Anakin's voice rang out.

At his words you disconnected and jumped out of your bed and grabbed your lightsaber before bolting out of the room.

You rush to the docking bay where you see Anakin waiting checking the time. "Ah 20 seconds to spare!"Anakin said smirking before turning and walking to one of the rental ships.

You sighed and rushed after him. You settled into the copilot's seat as he sat down in the pilot's. He flipped a few switches and hit a few buttons before he lifted off into the sky. You came into orbit as you left the atmosphere of Coruscant.

Anakin was quick to set the coordinates of your destination into the mainframe. He kicked his feet up onto the dash and leaned back in his chair.

You sigh and look over at him and saw he had gone to autopilot. You figured it was the perfect time to apologize given that he no longer had to focus on piloting as much.

"Skywalker?"You call out to him. He turns and meets your eyes.

"What is it, (l/n)?"He asked, eyeing you suspiciously. "Want to yell at me like yesterday?"He asked almost angrily. He didn't mean for it to sound as angry as it had, but you had hurt him deeply yesterday.

You gulped guiltily, "I know I blew up on you yesterday, and I realize you didn't deserve that!"You say.

He raises an eyebrow at the lack of hostility in your tone for once. He wanted to see where this conversation was going and so he nods for you to continue, "I realized after some thinking that you were just trying to be civil, and I wanted to apologize!"You finish.

He nodded in almost surprise at your complete 180 from yesterday, "well I appreciate your apology,
(l/n)!"He said smiling at you. For the first time your heart fluttered at his smile.

But you shook your head to shake away your intrusive thoughts. You reminded yourself that you hated him. "Just because I apologized doesn't mean my feelings for you have changed."You inform him. "I still loathe you and I know you hate m-" your words get cut off by a pair of lips crashing against yours.

Your hands instantly go to his neck in surprise as he kisses you. His lips were warm, soft, and fit perfectly with yours. Your hateful emotions toward him slipped away as he kissed you with everything he had.

His lips told yours a confession. A confession the poor boy had hid from you for so long. He kissed you with sweetness yet urgency. His action had flipped your heart upside down. Both lips kissed the others and almost dared the other to pull away.

Sadly you eventually had to pull away and he leaned his forehead against yours

Sadly you eventually had to pull away and he leaned his forehead against yours. His blue eyes gazed into your eyes; the eyes that no longer held loathing, or hate within them.

"Hate is not exactly the word I'd use, (l/n)!"He admitted smirking shyly, his confidence almost diminishing after his daring action.

"Then what word would you use, Skywalker?"You ask panting softly as you met his gaze.

He smiled, "I believe the word I'd use is...Love!"
