Love Across The Stars (Aayla Secura x Male Reader)

A Sisters Love

Aayla POV:

It's been good seeing Shaak again. Her wound seems to have healed fine, but the scar is...it has not helped her self-esteem. her face is still beautiful however she says she can barley see out of that eye anymore.The long scar looked like a different kind of smooth in comparison to her regular complexion.

Her left side had been forever changed by some...savage.She was a symbol of peace and a pillar of knowledge for the clones, seeming untouchable, able to solve any problem, the mother they never had. but them seeing her in that state,it changed her. She had become more reclusive and shut off.

Its been thirty rotations, for the time being, Kit Fisto had taken over the supervision on Kamino.Since Shaak had been gone, he and I had grown as friends, reluctantly at first but he is a good man and a great fighter.

I walked through the great halls of the Temple, the large open space filled with other jedi ranging from younglings to masters, I look outside the large windows to the planet below. The day goes on. I stopped at the cafeteria and picked up some food on a tray and some snacks. As I walk out I'm stopped by a small orange skinned Togruta and a larger brown haired, dark clothed  human male.

"Hello Master Secura" The man folds his arms.

"Hi Master!" The young Togruta waves.

"hello  knight Skywalker, Young Tano." I sound professional because I really don't want to talk right now.

"how is Master TI" Ahsoka looks at me with those small blue eyes.

I sigh. "She is still in her room, she is in no mood to talk."

"Oh I see" Ahsoka closes down and moves away.

"I hope she gets better soon. How are you doing?" Anakin stepped up.

" I'm fine, sure. Why?"

"I'm just asking...I know you and Master Ti were close."

I look at the ground, trying to avert his gaze. Shaak and I were close, before kamino. We are still friends, sure, but its not what it was.But I cannot think about that now, she needs me. she needs someone to be with her.

"I'm sorry, I need to be going."

I push past, holding the  tray as I walk away leaving Ahsoka and Anakin looking sympathetically at me.

I walk up to Shaak's room. the hall way is empty in this wing. the steel door is locked.Poor girl, she hasn't left her room since the medical center.I knocked.

...

I knocked again.

...

"Shaak...its me. I brought some food, I thought we could spend some time together."

...

I sighed, about to leave. I turned my back but in that moment the door whooshed open. I turned to enter and was met with the stale air that was present. having slightly recoiled at the stench, i perss on. closing the door behind me. The room is dark, cold and yet warm. i set the tray down on what I think is her desk.

I move to open the blinds. To see...the piled laundry...the discarded tissues...the empty snack packets and dirty food trays. She's never been this bad before. There, atop the bed was the crumpled pile of bedding that had shielded the Jedi master from the world, from the prying eyes and obnoxious gazes of those around the temple.

I set myself on my haunches in front of the bed, near where her head would be. Seeing only white duvet, only sorrow fills my heart. I give the duvet a light tap. My eyes swell with tears.

"Shaak, its been three weeks...Please...talk to me....acknowledge me...scream, yell at me...just...just..." I begin to cry and sob. laying my hand on the mattress.

I quietly sobbed planting my face in the mattress, slowly i feel a warmth on my hand. Gasping I stop an look to see Shaak's hand on mine. Your right Shaak, I must not cry. You need me now, You need your little sis. I wipe the tears away and press on, to comfort my big sis.

"Shaak, I know the hurt you feel, But it is time...You must not let this injury define who you are.You are Jedi Master Shaak Ti, you have risen above the expectations of those around you.I know this may seem like the darkest storm...it will pass. And when it does, Ill be right where Ive always been...Here" I finish gripping her hand.

the Bedding still hasn't moved, only her hand is visible. There is an uncomfortable silence. She and I used to talk for hours, She was such a bright person. I don't know if she;ll ever recover from this.After the long pause. She spoke.

"Aayla...its not the scar that hurts me..."

I look at where her eyes would be...

"They saw me as more than a Jedi... They saw me as a mother...Something Ive longed to be."

...

"When they found me on the ground...They took me in...You should have seen their eyes...its as if the mother...that perfect image...had shattered.Id never let them see my emotion...Until....Until..." She began to break down.

Without a thought I rush up to hug the duvet and hold her for as long as she needed.Even though the duvet muffled her, her anguished sobs could still peirce my ears.I felt truly hopeless.Not only was she a symbol for the clones...But for me too. Shed stayed so strong for...too...long.

"Shaak...Shaak I'm here,I'm here."

She lunged out of the bedding pile and into my arms. I re-positioned myself onto the bed as she broke in my arms.I couldn't do much, all I could do is hold the pieces together.She wept until falling asleep not long after.

hey guys, not a lot in this chapter, I wanted to have more in it... but we are close to the exiting part so i didn't want to spend too much time on this.

I had an idea for this chapter, but i cut it because i figured less is more. i wanted to try some more character building between these two...but since Shaak isn't going to be as prominent in the story later on, i didn't want to spend too much time on her.

What do you think so far?
