Provided with so much comfort plus extra heat from your fast asleep husband- who clung to you like a teddy. His hands cuddled around your middle, your face pressed against his neck while you feel his chest slowly rise and fall which each moment that passes. It was perfect. Both in such a consummated sleep.

A loud clang in your little apartment made your whole body shoot up, followed by Anakin who on instinct, pulled your frame behind him.

You didn't detect anything in the room and it seems Anakin didn't either. He was high on alert and already out of bed before you could even move.

"Stay here," he whispered, he already had his lightsaber on him, and crept toward the sound.

You decide to follow him nonetheless, still staying behind him, he took a glance back at you. Seeing you weren't going to listen to him, he just let out a small sigh, happy enough that you were sticking safely behind him.

Anakin had his hand gripping the hilt of his weapon firmly as you came closer to where the sound was. There was no lights on so you relied on the walls and could make out Anakin's tall stance.

You heard someone talking as you came closer and both of you froze. You held your breath as Anakin withdrew his lightsaber, you felt the wall in search for the switch of the light-  Anakin could easily sense it but you couldn't- you finally found the dip of the switch and looked over at Anakin. Faintly making out the nod in the dark- a signal as he prepared to face the intruder head on.

You flicked the switch on and the lights of the kitchen flickered on. You and Anakin expected to find the person there but there wasn't anyone in sight, making your body tense.

Anakin with the upmost confidence swung his lightsaber around with no care in the world. "I can feel your presence through the force, you may as well show yourself."

Anakin took slow daunting steps towards the counter before a familiar togruta girl popped their head up.

Anakin stared at her in disbelief and so did you as you realised it wasn't a threat- it was your friend Ahsoka- in your apartment, with a bunch of.....your food?

You all just stared wide eyed at each other for a few moments- Ahsoka eyes darted between Anakin and you, both your attires in sleep clothing and you swore you saw a smile.

"Ahsoka....why are you taking my food so late...not that I mind and everything but it's....quite late." You finished your sentence awkwardly, finally breaking the silence that filled the room.

"Right....well....i thought you weren't here.. I mean I saw you leave earlier with Anakin- well- I just didn't know he would be with you here now- I mean, not that I haven't noticed it before-."

You felt your face go flush and you  tilted your head down finding the pattern of the tiles and the detail suddenly look much more interesting before hear Anakin take over.

"Ahsoka..you know we're not-"

"It's ok sky guy," she smirked, "I promise your secrets safe with me, I won't tell anyone." Her voice softened as she spoke those final words.

He nodded with gratitude, felt relieved that she wouldn't say anything. You trusted Ahsoka with your life, one of the many few people who won't go back on their word.

Your eyes landed back on the food she had gathered in her hands "Back to my earlier question..whats with all the food?"

You aren't annoyed, just curious, but Anakin held an unamused look as he stared at the front door which was a little open.

"Oh...right, well, I woke up and had this huge craving for food and so I went down to see if they opened the public kitchens- but they were locked! So, then I remembered that you gave me a spare key and told me I could come over whenever so I thought, why not? I would have waited until the next day but my stomach told me differently." She shrugged but held a guilty look in her eye over at you. "I'm sorry if I woke you...we're still friends right?"

"What was that noise then?" Anakin asked a good question, something I forgotten about.

"Oh...well I tried to open up a cabinet..and it wouldn't budge, then a pan fell on the floor."

Anakin yawned slightly, you glanced over at him, knowing he was fighting sleep off but you knew he was on the verge of collapsing into bed.

"Ahsoka it's ok, you don't need to worry about it- and I did say anytime." You said softly which Ahsoka smiled but Anakin was much more stern than you and shook his head.  "Maybe next time come a little earlier."

Ahsoka nodded eagerly to each word desperately as she clung to the snacks in her arms. "Do you need help?"

"No! No, I got it, you guys can go back to sleep, I'll just- get going."

"Do you seriously need all those?" Anakin raised an unimpressed eyebrow.

"Every single one is necessary ."

You could see Anakin was about to give an input about Ahsokas behaviour before you interjected. "I'll get you a bag." You spoke towards Ahsoka before turning around to face your husband. "And you should go back to bed, you look exhausted."

"I'm not that tired," Anakin was stubborn, his eyes were dropping the longer he stood their which made you look at him with a small frown to which he mimicked in response. "Don't give me that look."

"What look?"

"The one I can't resist saying no to." He whispered making you give him a small peck on his cheek. "Go to bed, I'll only be a minute, promise."

Anakin hypnotised by your words nodded and walked back into our room, you knew he wouldn't fall asleep without you in there and so you first had to deal with Ahsoka.

"I just know training tomorrow is going to be ten times worse tomorrow."

You laughed a little at that, you knew how early he got up in the morning time and those ungodly hours- you took a spare bag out and let Ahsoka pour all the snacks in the bag.

"I'm sure he'll lay off." You handed it over to her and walked her to the door.

"You need to tell me more about this tomorrow." You knew she was referring to you and Anakin, she already had an inking from those lingering looks he'd give to you as you passed through the hallway or those longer than usual subtle touches. Anakin was no good at hiding his feelings but you seemed more good at it- that's why Ahsoka only thought Anakin just had a huge crush on you.

"Come by for drinks tomorrow?"

Ahsokas eyes lit up "you bet."

She gave a wave and skipped down the hallway with a smile before yelling back a thanks which made you nod with a smile of your own.

You shut the door and made sure that everything was in place before returning back to bed.

You pulled back the covers and laid down with a soft sigh. Turning to get into a comfortable position you were faced with Anakin's back.

He twisted over to face you. He had a contemplating look on his face,  you waiting patiently for what he had to say.

"Since when were you and my padawan friends?

You brought your hand up to one of his frown curls, looping it around your finger and realising it gently. "We crossed paths."

Your short worded answer made him narrow his eyes, you gave him an innocent smile, making his eyes soften.

"I'll talk to her tomorrow."

"There's no need."

"If that's what you wish."

He pressed his lips to your forehead. Letting his touch linger as he pulled your body against his, resuming the previous position you were sleeping in earlier.

"Thank you for protecting me earlier."

"You don't need to thank me love, I'll always protect you."
