Ahsoka POV

These past couple of days have been some of the happiest in my life. For one, me and Thomas are now a thing, though we have kept that a secret from everyone since it's forbidden to form attachments as a jedi. But nonetheless, we're making it work.

We've been sleeping with each other for a couple days, not doing anything sexual, yet. Thomas has been adamant about taking it slow, mostly due to his faith where he waits for sex after marriage, which I respect.

When Obi-Wan had questions about why we were spending so much time together so much, we came up with projects Thomas was developing, which wasn't completely wrong. We were working on perfecting the power armor for me. On top of that, Thomas was developing his own armor as well, he was just more focused on my armor first.

Back to the present, I woke up next to Thomas, who was still sound asleep. I smiled at how cute he was when he was asleep. I noticed some of the scars he got from months from Ryloth when he was held captive by the separatists. I shuddered when I though back to when I first saw him, being electrocuted by the droids, screaming in agony. Thinking about that incident makes me wanna keep him with me at all times just so he's safe and protected.

I then feel him shift, his eyes slowly opening. He looks up groggily and smiles.

"Morning beautiful," he said.

"Morning handsome," I said pecking his lips.

He then shifts to sit up, not on my watch. I put a hand on his chest and gently push him back down.

"A little longer, please," I say softly looking into his eyes.

He sighed and smiled, "Okay snips, just a little while longer, but then we have to get back to work."

"Fiiiiine," I groan.

We lay there for a couple more minutes when Thomas started to rise up. He stretched and looked back at me.

"C'mon snips, we gotta get up," he told me while pulling me up.

"Fiiiiiiiiine," I whine.

I got up and stretched as well. He went and got washed up and put on some clean clothes. I smile at his wet hair. I don't know what it is about hair but I'm just so fascinated by it. Anyway, I go and wash up while he told me he was going to keep working on my armor.

When I come out, he had some music going. I could tell his was one of his favorites as he sang it in different tones.

A/N: The song is Seminole Wind by John Anderson in case y'all wonderin.

Ever since the days of old

Men would search for wealth untold

They'd dig for silver and for gold

And leave the empty holes

And way down south in the Everglades

Where the black water rolls and the saw grass waves
