Imagine Anakin's Alternative Versions...

Imagine: you are Anakin's best friend.

Imagine you are Anakin's best friend. You seem content with that until the day you watch him with Senator Padmé Amídala. So the question is: what will it happen with your friendship now?

Warnings: drama, fluffy and smut. Minors, do not read it.

Recommendations: this is (very) loosely based on two songs that got me inspired to write this: "One Day" by Dua Lipa and "When You're Gone" by Shawn Mendes.

Intro. Anakin's POV.

He was a boy when he met you. Obi-Wan made sure you two were acquainted. Anakin asked him right before you:

"Am I really supposed to be friends with a girl?"

You punched his face, much to everyone's dismay in the younglings's room—although Obi-Wan did struggle not to burst into laughters.

"I am stronger than you, idiot", you told him.

"Now now, violence and arrogance are not the Jedi way, Y/N." Obi-Wan told you.

Anakin for some reason was impressed. And even though you two didn't begin really well that day, Master Jinn paired you throughout the classes because he thought you had angry issues and Anakin was too proud for a young boy. Somehow you matched.

"Can I play with you?" Anakin did not like how often you were left aside by other younglings. He was amazed by how a shy kid as you could be so strong—clearly bearing in mind the day you punched him.

You had two buns each side your head and was dressing white. You looked up at that boy with sand hair and suspicious blue eyes.

"Why not. Come in Anakin. Where did you come from?"

He told you about his days in Tatooine, how he and his mother were slaves. You got emotional by hearing that because you never met someone who was enslaved before. Where you came from, you told him, there were no slaves.

That day you promised that when the two of you grow up, you'd end slavery throughout the galaxy. Anakin took your hand in his and did not let you go. You saw fear in his eyes and said:

"We will be best friends for ever, Ani. I will never leave you, I vow you that."

The scene was cute for the outsiders and, according to Obi-Wan's opinion, a positive sign that Anakin could make friends. But, in truth, there was more to it. And both of you sensed somehow.

"Thank you", he said. "You are the nicest girl of this room."

You giggled. The two of you still held hands.

"And you are the nicest boy here."

And thus the bond was made. Anakin thought that, mayhaps, it wasn't entirely bad to become a Jedi in the future if you'd be by his side.

Your POV.

You became characteristically known to your fellow padawans by the two buns that you appreciated wearing since you were a child. Anakin liked to tease about these buns, pointing how they made you look like a rebel princess.

"Oh shut up, you don't even know what you are talking about", you laughed at that.

You were teenagers now, though trained by different masters. But this never stopped both of you to practice together at the fighting room. The bond between you were so strong that one mirrored the other's moves.

"Stop copying me, Ani!" you said when both of you twisted and zoooom zooom zooom, your lightsabers collided.

"I invented that move first, my dear Y/N", said he, so gallantly in the sarcasm you were familiar with. "What can I do if you are inspired by me?"
