Panic stricken ~ Skysolo

Chapter 2- Feelings

Luke's pov:

We were now all sat down on the bed as Leia talked about her up coming conference. It was something about the exploitation of labour in war or something along those lines. It was all that was on her mind recently as a win could really do her campaign some good.

All that was on my mind was last nights events though. And this morning. And how good Han looked with bed head. And the way his shirt draped revealing just enough of his-

"Luke? You there Luke?" Leia asked snapping me from my trance. I tried to hide the horror that would have been so plainly written on my face. I wasn't even doing anything wrong right now but I was still frightened as if we had been caught in the act.

I jumped and glanced over at Han who smirked slightly. What a dick. "Yeah I'm fine... continue." I smiled sweetly. I was not very good at hiding this and it was abundantly clear. Han stared at me and he looked slightly proud for making me into this utter mess.

Leia nodded sarcastically, "Really? Then what was I talking about?" She cocked her head and smiled bitterly. Oh shit. She knew exactly what she was doing and I was panicking. What was I meant to say? I hadn't actually been listening.

"Oh just like... your campaign and all that. You know and your strategy for your conference." I babbled. Was that believable at all? Probably not.

She shook her head, "No. I was actually talking about the dinner party after the conference. I have been allowed to invite two people and I have chosen to invite you two. Who else would I invite?" She smiled.

"Oh that's so kind of you Leia." I said. Maybe if I complimented her she would forget? Who am I kidding Leia is far too smart for that, "What planet is it on?" I asked.

She rolled her eyes, "Coruscant. You would know if you were paying attention."

I nodded, "Yeah right I'm sorry." I apologised.

"I have booked two hotel rooms. One for me and Han, the other for you. The hotel will be better than this shit hole though." She looked around the room we were in right now. It was a cheap hotel and you could tell. The paint was chipping off, there was mould growing everywhere and the window was cracked. "It didn't look like this on the pictures."

Time skip brought to you by me trying to figure out how I am going to make it all morally sound.

After a long discussion about Leia's tactics and all that we both left Han to do his own thing. When me and Leia had finally gotten out of the room she asked, "Are you sure your alright Luke? It's just well... you seemed a little distracted in there." She said.

I rushingly nodded, "Im fine. Completely fine. Just the usual stuff you know." I was still panicking. I could hear Han's voice in my head telling me not to spill one detail or he would kill me.

"Are you sure? That didn't seem like just usual Luke stress?" She pushed. "You know you can tell me right. It's good to open up." She smiled as we walked along the long winding corridors.

I shook my head, "Nothing worth bothering you about. Im sure I can sort it all out on my own." Can I though?

She nodded slowly and unsurely, "If you say so. Just talk to me though if you need some help. Especially if you are stressing too much over it." She warned me. She never wanted me to go through anything alone and she never wanted me to feel hurt. This all made me feel ten times worse. All she did was care for me and I had slept with her future husband!

"Are you alright though Leia?" I asked trying to change the subject, "You booked separate rooms for you and Han for this hotel we are staying in right now. Is everything going okay?" I asked. This would hopefully distract her from what she had been asking me about.

"Oh yes we are fine." She reassured me (however it wasn't that reassuring), "I knew he was going to have some drinks and I don't like drunk Han all that much. I also didn't want to intrude on you if he annoyed me too much that's all. I just decided separate rooms were best."

I smiled, "Good good."

"However I will be making sure he has nothing to drink at that dinner party or he will be sleeping on the steps of the hotel." She laughed. I tried to join in with he laughter however it really didn't sound natural. She patted my shoulder, "Well this is my room. See you later Luke and please talk to me if you need to."

I nodded, "Thank you Leia." I smiled and she entered her room.

As I entered mine I ran in and threw myself on the bed tears coming to my eyes. What I did was wrong and I knew that. However I wanted to do it again and again even though I knew how much it would hurt Leia. I yearned for his hands on my body, in my hair literally everywhere he could get his hands on.

The thought made me short of breath and I could feel heat rising in my chest and face. I needed to stop these thoughts but the memories of last night just came flooding back. Him shirtless, me shirtless, the way he touched me as he had clearly done this before.

My thoughts were interrupted however by a loud knock at my door. I wiped my eyes and journeyed over to the door. I slowly opened it and was met with Han.

"Oh. Hi." I said. This was extremely awkward and shocking.

"Hi... can I come in? I think we need to talk." He said looking at me less sternly than he usually would. However he still didn't look fully sober yet.

"Yes... we do." I opened up the door hesitantly and let him inside.
