I used to be a Jedi but the Jedi Order had fallen forcing me to go on the run. I had survived what had been called Order 66 but my master had not. I had fled to one of the furthest planets from Coruscant but it wasn't far enough because a few weeks later a bounty hunter had come for me and I wound up in carbonite.
Slowly I can feel warmth spreading through my body and the feeling starts returning. Once it's spread down to my toes I start to shiver and I try to open my eyes but I can't and panic. I hear a voice that is changed by a modulator say, "It's okay you're safe." Before I relax.
During the next few weeks, I was nursed back to health which had taken some getting used to since I was always doing things to occupy myself. I sit up on the edge of the bed and prepare and debate for a moment on whether I should get up and try to walk or not. I grab the metal frame above me and brace myself as I pull myself into a standing position. I sway for a moment before I regain my balance.
I begin wobbling towards the ladder and climb up into the cockpit, I hear coos coming from the cockpit which sparks my curiosity. I walk closer and one of the chairs turns around to my absolute delight and surprise I see Grogu. His ears lift when he sees me and he holds out his arms indicating that he wants me to pick him up. I scoop him into my arms and begin rubbing his ears.
From the pilot's seat, I hear the same modulated voice say, "He likes you." I move forward and to my shock, I see a Mandalorian. I had read about them but they were extremely rare and hard to find. I take a seat in Grogu's now empty spot and ask in a dry voice, "How long was I out?" He replies, "A few days."
I nod recognizing that he isn't one for many words. Looking straight ahead he says, "You should go back to bed. If you over-exert yourself you could become sick." I decide to ignore him and choose freedom rather than being cooped up in a bed all day.
The next day I regretted my decision, my whole body ached and I couldn't move. The whole day the Mandalorian takes care of me. Helps me eat and get to the bathroom and I feel something in my chest that I've never felt before.
It's night and Grogu is asleep and I'm well enough to sit up in bed with the Mandalorian across from me. I ask, "Why are you being so nice to me?" He looks up at my question before clearing his throat as he says, "You helped Grogu escape almost certain death and I wish to repay the favor." He doesn't say anything more than that as he stands up and leaves. I feel my heart swell that he cares so much about the kid and treats him as his own.
Once I'm well enough to be out of bed I decide to train Grogu in the force. I do it mostly so I have something to do but also to keep Grogu occupied. We were currently passing a small metal ball between the two of us using the force when we hear the door open. I look up and see the Mandalorian. He motions for me to follow him so I get up from my spot on the floor and walk after him.
Once the door is closed behind him he clears his throat but doesn't say anything. I wait for him to speak and eventually, he does saying, "Listen, I appreciate you teaching the kid but I can't pay you for babysitting." I smile at him before I say, "You nursed me back to health it's the least I can do." I reach out and place my hand on his arm for a moment before pulling away and going back to my training.
As I walk away I feel my heart beating fast in my chest not sure what this feeling is. I sit on my bed meditating trying to clear my mind but all I can think about is the Mandalorian. I wonder what he looks like under his helmet, what his eyes, his hair, his nose, and his lips look like. My eyes fly open and I jump up from my spot. I begin to pace back and forth as I finally realize I have a crush on the Mandalorian.
It would make sense that I wouldn't know what that would feel like especially since Jedi weren't allowed to have feelings or form attachments. But now that the Jedi order was destroyed what did that mean for me? Could I form attachments? Could I stay here if I wanted to? That thought leaves me reeling and I rush to the cockpit.
I arrive in the cockpit with my heart beating a mile a minute and I take a seat in the passenger spot. Without looking at me the Mandalorian says, "Good, you're here. I wanted to talk to you about something."
I gulp and begin to panic trying to figure out if he knew I had feelings for him or not but I quickly rid the thought from my head. He continues, "I was wondering if you'd like to stay with me and Grogu."
My mouth drops open in surprise and my mind goes blank. I quickly go over the pros and cons of staying or leaving. On the one hand, isn't this what I wanted? But on the other hand wouldn't my feelings grow? I ask cautiously, "Is there any particular reason you would like me to stay?"
He's quiet and I fear I've overstepped but he simply says, "Yes." I feel hope blossom in my chest but to my disappointment, he states, "I want you to stay because you're the only person who can train the kid."
I feel my heart drop and mentally curse myself for being so stupid in thinking he wanted me around because he liked me. I put on a fake smile as I say, "Sure I'd love to stay." He nods in acknowledgement and I take that as my cue to leave. As I do so I can't help but think, what did I just get myself into?
