crawl back to you (qimir x reader)

2

morning dawned the next day, serene sunlight streaming through the windows. you get up feeling well slept as you get ready to do for your job. with everything packed up and in place, you leave for Lauphus hoping to return as soon as you can.

the next three days were not as difficult as you thought it would be. you reached Lauphus, plucked all the ones you wanted (got stung by something in the process too) and is now on the way home to Olega. funny to think that you thought of Olega as your home when in the past you knew you never had one.

after getting off the ship, you met with the patron and delivered their necessary plants. you head home, with a bag jingling full of money , to take a shower and change into clean clothes, before setting off to see Qimir. on Lauphus you had plucked some plants for him too, for him to make new poisons and potions. as you tightly clutch the plants in your hand on your way to the apothecary, you realise you are smiling ear to ear.

as you reach the apothecary, your smile fades away. the door is locked from outside, indicating he has disappeared again. you tried asking him one time why kept on disappearing time to time but he shrugged it away saying it was to collect some precious things for his apothecary, but you had a nagging sensation that it's more than that. but you could hardly complain, since you also have your secret.

with a heavy heart you turn away and began to head back home, unaware of the pair of eyes following you. you reach home after a short detour, only to find an unexpected visitor infront of your doors.

"master Nocki ?" you say surprised as the Jedi master standing in front of you smiled warmly. old memories resurfaced inside you as you struggle to smile at him, the events of that night plaguing your mind "why are you here?"

" it's nice to see you after all these years y/n. i heard you have become a resourceful person doing all sort of trades." he says warmly which made me uneasy.

"yeah i would not say resourceful, i do whatever the patrons sought me out for " you reply as you open your door and gesture for him to come inside.

a moment of awkward silence passes through before he questions " how are you y/n?"

" i am fine, actually doing great. master Nocki can i know why you came here? i am assuming its more than a happy reunion "

"yes i need your help y/n. what i am about to tell is totally confidential information" he pauses as his voice drop low  " a threat has risen, someone with their identity concealed has been killing Jedi stationed in multiple planets. we dont know anything about this person or mercenary, except the fact that they use something which might help us identity the individual. it is our last shot since they have eluded us in all other ways. i need your help with finding me something. something that is crucial to a mission i am assigned to"

"what is that?"

a brief pause again before master Nocki replies "a planet rich with cortosis deposit. i want you to find the source of this material the masked mercenary uses"

Qimir's POV

blood pools around Qimir's soles as he kills off the last Jedi soldier, cleanly slicing his head off from the rest of the weak, pathetic limp of a torso. the scent of death and victory envelope around him; his two favourite scents. as he walk over the dead corpses, only two things were going through his mind ; 1) how to tell you about all these things 2) how to make you understand what he did was all for a good reason.

but right know he needs to go to Lauphus and see if his girl is doing okay. so he packs up everything and quietly trail you to Lauphus, as you are totally unaware of him following (or stalking) you. parking his airship in the thick dark foliage of the leaves to avoid you finding out, he began to stalk you quietly, while thinking of how tired you must be. he hides behind the shrubs as he watches you pluck all the necessary herbs you were commissioned to bring, his mind swirling with thoughts of you.

the first day he met you, he never knew you were going to be someone special, someone irreplaceable. he was just going to use you for your skills, that's why he befriended you in the first place ; become your friend, use you to get what he wants and then silence you off for good. but as you turned from a stranger he could take advantage of, to a person whose face he wished to see everyday, his heart wavered. after all to love a person to death is to change part of oneself that was in deep slumber. you made your way into his life, broke down his defenses and tugged at his heartstrings the moment he began to understand the depths of your layer, making him feel exposed and raw. the first time he looked at you without malice or ill intention; abandoning the thoughts of taking advantage of you for his personal gain, he knew you were the same as him; a kindred soul. and also someone who could be his equal in all ways - your energy, your vibrations and all the particles that you were made with - made him feel seen for the first time in his entire life. the only thing he regret was how wrong he had been to think he could use and kill you off when he first met you. you had been the answer to the prayers he never thought would come into fruition and for that he was glad, glad that he has someone to live and love for.

your frustrated voice bring him out of his reverie, as he held up his lightsaber, ready to protect you from whatever is going on. a group of flies were crircling you, stinging you in the process, as you walk towards your airship, uttering curses.

' how cute ' he thought as he watched you walk back to your airship. he took his lightsaber out, the red glow illuminating his face as he went back to the spot you were a few minutes ago. he searched around , his eyes scanning the lush jade forest before he found the target - the nest of the flies.

with one slash of his lightsaber, he burned the whole nest as the bodies of the mutliple flies sizzled in the sir, before shriveling up and falling dead "no one hurts my woman" he says as he slashes again, only to split the tree in two clean halves.

he follows you back to Olega (again you being oblivious) feeling a flutter of happiness. you had no idea he was trailing you whenever you get any commissions from the patron. just to make sure you are undisturbed, he follows you till you reach your home amd what he finds petrifies him. Qimir is surprised to find a Jedi in front of your home, as he quickly hide behind a heavy bush, his breath sounding more erratic in the helmet. he push away the fact that this man was there looking for you instead of him, but somehow that made him more anxious than the fact he is there for him. he already lost a part of his heart and his soul to the Jedi, he is not going to lose his another half too.

So Qimir waits as you invite the Jedi master inside your house, his hand tightly clutching the lightsaber in anger. someday he is going to kill of every Jedi and offer you a place where you can live in freedom, without worrying about those scums. and that day he is going to make sure that you belong to him - only him.
