Poor Admiral

15 - protective

A/n just watched Reacher on netflix, WOW that's a good show
Padme's P.O.V

I finished cleaning myself up and stepped out of the shower, I yawned and suddenly realised how tired I was. I leaned against the wall for a second to collect myeself then grabbed the first outfit I saw- which happened to be my imperial uniform, I am not sleeping in that, so I threw it to the ground and just put on a pair of panties and a bra. I fell straight onto the bed and was asleep the moment I hit the covers,

finally.

I slipped back into consciousness yawned, my brain was still fuzzy but in a not worried way, more of a calm, and without a care -or knowlage- in the world way; I smiled happily as I felt all light and warm and nuzzled into the blankets while rubbing my legs against each other. I felt safer than I had in a long time.

After lying there happily for some amount of time my back started to feel uncomfortable, I recahed out my hands and arched my back- or tried to, I realised I couldn't move and that I was surrounded by something. It took me a moment but then I smiled as I figured out what had happened, while I was sleeping Vader had came back, he must have fallen asleep and was now curled protectivly around me. I felt my face heat up as I remembered I was just wearing panties and a bra, suddenly I felt his eyelids brush my back as he woke up and opened his eyes "Padmé." he said, I was surprised at how light his voice sounded, he let go of me. Then he sat up and crossed his legs- meditating.

I got off the bed and changed into my imperial uniform which I had left on the ground, I looked over at Vader and was impressed to see that he had managed to get a cloak fairly similar to his old one. Vader slid off the bed and put the cloak on, I noticed he didn't hide his face- how ever he did that, I mean with the same cloak sometimes all you could see is a void and sometimes you can see his whole face; but either way he clearly didn't want anyone to think he was Vader. "Lets go." he said, "I've called a shuttle as we left ours when we took a speeder away from that sinkhole." Vader said, I followed him as he walked through the door.

Once we got to the ship Vader told the pilots to go back to the Pau'an village and take the shuttle we came in back to imperial base. Soon enough we entered hyperspace and I looked at Vader, watching his face and how nice he looked in the blue light of hyperspace, how natural he seemed at the ships controls, how calm he looked all alone like this, before he would have to face sidious Sidious. He turned to me "You have something on your mind." he said, I froze but quickly controlled myself
"I just wanted to say thank you, I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't showed up." I said, Vader paused and I got the feeling he didn't know how to reply, I guess most people didn't thank him. I just smiled and said "You don't have to reply." and I turned around.

Once we arrived back at the imperial base Vader went to go see Sidious and I walked down to the Mess Hall/Cafeteria, not the officers lounge. Vader was right, helf of them wanted me, and not in a good way; and the other half are all teachers pets who hate me for being the favourite or think I'm some science experiment to crack. I couldn't deal with their looks right now. Besides, I could finally talk with Rainbow. The minute I walked into the Mess Hall/Caff I saw him, "Rainbow!" I yelled, and I waved my arm as fats as I could while grinning. Most of the the storm troopers and officers stood up and salouted me- me being the highest ranking officer on board, I ignored them except for a salute back and ran over to Rainbow
"Padmé!" she yelled, "You're back!" they said excitedly,
"Your hair!" I squealed
"I know right." he said, grinning and flicking it around, she had kept the same hair style she had when it was brown, most of it buzzed with a little bit of hair on the front left. I sat down and she followed
"So, any news?" I asked, Rainbow shrugged
"Nothing new I'm afriad." he said
"So, are you looking at anyone, romantically?" I asked them
"Padme, you know I'm asexual." he said, she sighed and looked at me "Who are you crushing on so badly?" he said, I froze
"Whaaat!" I said, I looked at them and she deadpaned,
"Who is it." he demanded and she leaned in closer and threateningly "Who. Is. He." she whispered
"I- I'm not telling you!" I said, they sighed dramtically
"Urghhhhhhhh, at least talk about him." she said, I looked at him
"I- well," I sighed then looked up lovingly "He has beautiful hair which isn't straight or wavy but it isn't quite enough to be fully curly, I want to run my fingers through it, see if it's as soft as it looks." I said dreamily
"OhOohhOh! Somebodys smitten." Rainbow grinned, I looked at her, "You're giving more than usual." he said, I sighed
"Well I kept looking at him, and really wanting to kiss him. He's so- uh, how to describe it, dominating almost- no- yes, dominating, and it makes me really want to see what he would look like under me, all submitted and coming undone." I said "He has beautiful, kissable lips. No one who I'm pretty sure has never dated in his LIFE! Should have such sinful lips." I sighed
"Wait, never dated in his life." Rainbow asked "How do you know that?" they asked, I looked up sadly
"You know when you look at someone, or know someone- say Vader for example, emphasis on example, but, you can look at him and just know, he may be powerful but that man has never dated anyone in his life. Y'know?" I asked
"Oh honey." Rainbow said "Damn." she said
"I know!" I complained, "He is so pretty though," I sighed wistfully.
