Star Wars One Shots

Keep It Between Us - Part 1 - Ben Solo

To say that you were nervous to start training with a Jedi master as respected at Luke Skywalker was an understatement. After all, the Skywalker's are the most well known force-users of the galaxy, there was so much you could learn from him. For the first fourteen years of your life, you've only been an initiate to the Jedi Order, now that you have a master, you'll finally be able to actually train as a Padawan.

You had been brought to the Jedi Temple less than a week ago, and today was the day you were finally going to meet Master Luke, and the other two who will be training with you. From what you've heard around the Temple so far, Master Luke's nephew will be training with you, but you didn't want to get your hopes up.

You had gotten up extra early this morning to get washed up and into your robes for the first time. Showing up early to the training room was allowed, so long as you didn't touch anything. You entered the room, surprised to see that there was a light on already on.

Looking around in awe at your surroundings, you almost didn't sense the other presence in the room with you. The second you registered the presence though, your eyes snapped to who was in the room with you.

You instantly blushed, realizing that not only had you been caught off guard in awe, but that the boy who had caught you was absolutely beautiful to look at. Instantly you regretted thinking that, when the boys eyes widened you felt even more foolish. You keep forgetting that others can heard your thoughts, especially if you project them loud enough. "Uh-" You mumble, hoping that somehow he had't heard you. "I'm sorry, I didn't think anyone else would be in here."

He nodded his head twice, and turned his back to you. Of course you didn't realize that he was just as embarrassed as you, thinking you'd caught him touching some of his uncles training equipment. Ben didn't want anyone to know who is uncle was, if he could help it at least. That meant acting like all these objects were new to him, and he hadn't grown up practicing with him all the time.

You wanted to speak to the boy again, and at least learn his name if you could, but you also didn't want to make a bigger fool of yourself. Swallowing your pride you took a few steps toward him, and stopping when he turned to face you. You smile at him, and tell him your name, and he nods his head, taking a deep breath in. "I'm Ben." You could sense his nerves, so you smiled as kindly as you could and nodded your head as well.

"Nice to meet you, Ben." You were surprised to say the least when he thanked you quietly, and left the room without another word.

Having no idea what had happened with Ben, you began looking around the training room, and almost squeezing in joy when you saw actual lightsabers. You wanted so badly to touch one, and use it, but for one, you were told not to touch anything, and two, you'd only held a lightsaber a handful of times in your life. It wouldn't be practical for you to touch it.

You continued walking around the room, finding your gaze falling back to the lightsabers more than once. Not long after you could feel someone with a lot of power about to enter the room. This must be Luke Skywalker. You think to yourself, turning your full attention to the door.

Seconds later Ben entered the room, but with someone behind him, Luke Skywalker. Your jaw almost dropped when Master Luke said your name, and stepped past Ben to shake your hand. "Nice to meet you Master Luke." Master Luke nodded his head, and turned to Ben expectantly.

"Are you going to introduce yourself Ben?" Master Luke sounded almost surprised that Ben hadn't already spoken to you, though he had earlier. "I've already met her. I was here earlier." A proud smile came across Luke's face, and you looked between him and Ben, realizing that Ben was Master Luke's nephew.

Ben's head snapped in your direction "How did you know that?" His tone accusing, and you couldn't help but feel bad for the new found knowledge. "I- I've heard people saying that Master Luke's nephew would be training with me-" You were about to continue and explain how you knew, but Master Luke held his hand up in your direction, looking at Ben sternly.
