When it all began...

It all starts with the day you find out you are having feelings for the great General Skywalker. To realize your attachment towards him crosses the field of a concern from one Jedi to another comes like a punch in your stomach.

In truth, the reason why such perception distresses you lies on your fear of feeling anything at all, particularly when he is nearby.

It takes every force of you to bury it. For your own sake—and because you know how besotted he is with that Senator whom you personally think unworthy of him, but oh well—you keep it to yourself.

So it's Saturday and you have been released of your missions, though coming back from planet Y/C costed you good nights of sleep and a great deal of being scowled by Master Windu for your recklessness. Yet here you are, at the gardens, when you...feel him close.

Anakin has not been obnoxious to you, though. You ignore that his eyes have been following you more than often—-to the point where Ahsoka rolls her eyes everytime you are around and he is distracted—, that he's been jealous of how you speak kindly to other men, or even so how annoying it is you cannot tell his fondness for you.

He is also a very observing man. That being said, he's noticed your change of moods, he's felt the nights you've been sleeping unwell, and what is more hurtful is that you don't come for him to confide your fears like he does to you. Even though Anakin knows how you feel for him, he somewhat hopes you give the first steps.

So here he is. Leaning against the wall, his blue eyes are set on you, admiring the shades of y/c that color your hair, your y/c skin and the robes that reinforce your curves. Anakin holds back a sigh, and it is only when he comes closer that you joke:

"What's up, Skywalker? What mischief are you up to today?"

"No big deal", he lies down over the grass, not too far from where you are. Your eyes remain closed and he smirks at you. "Why are you assuming I am up to no good?"

You try to remain serious, but the moment he says that, your lips part in a smile.

"Because you are always annoying Obi-Wan. But since the corridors have been quiet, I'm assuming you are free today?"

Anakin rolls his eyes but he too smiles.

"Yes. For some odd reason everything is quiet. No trainings or missions. I came after you because for some reason that goes beyond my understanding you've been a little off these days."

That observation makes you open your eyes and Anakin can tell that his remark is the reason why your heart starts beating faster. He tries to hold back a smile, even though presumption is behind his blue eyes.

So maybe there is hope.

"What are you talking about, Anakin? Don't go assuming things."

"Why, it's true, though." He shrugs his shoulders. "The other day when I asked you a favor regarding Senator Amidala, you told me you could not do it because you've been already assigned to another mission. And yet I found you playing cards with Fives. I mean... Really?"
