You're simpatico
And of all the lift homes and all the mixed feelings
You're cuts above
And you don't own worries or a chest full of heartache.
Falling in love with Obi-Wan Kenobi was the best, yet worst decision I could ever make. Except, it wasn't my choice. I didn't just fall for him, I was pushed incredibly hard.
It especially sucked when we weren't allowed to be together while the council placed us as close as possible to one another.
And it sucked the worst when I found out I had to accompany him on a certain mission to Mandalore.
"Shut up, Anakin." I grumbled as a certain brunette continued to grin towards me. He let out a chuckle.
"I didn't say anything." I glared at my older brother.
"I'm going to punch you in the face. And then I'm going to chop off your other hand." Anakin laughed as he threw his head back. He then began wiping fake tears away.
"I'm sorry, I just can't believe the irony. Doesn't he know you like him? Or is my Master just that clueless?" He grinned as I stared out the window with a sad expression. He didn't even try to fight against it, in fact, he seemed delighted to be seeing her again. . . "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you."
"That's the thing, you weren't the one to cause me pain." I sighed and continued looking out the window. Anakin sighed and patted me shoulder. "It doesn't matter, I should just trust him and finish the mission." I gave him a smile and he smiled back. He nodded and proceeded to walking out. I should trust him.

"It is an honor to be seeing you again, Obi-Wan Kenobi." Satine smiled towards Obi-Wan as she bowed. He smiled and bowed as well.
"What a long time it has been." She looked towards me and smiled really bright. I smiled with my mouth closed and decided to follow them inside. I was beginning to stray behind them while looking at the art until I felt a hand pulling my waist.
"Keep up, Darling." He murmured in my ear and kept me near him as we walked down two more halls. We then walked into a dining hall where a large table sat with tons of food spread out upon it.
"Do come sit next to me, (Y/N) Skywalker. I have heard so much about you." She grinned as she pulled me into a spot next to her and Obi-Wan sat on my left.
"H-how do you know me, Senator?" I stuttered with widened eyes. Why was she being so nice to me? I thought she had a thing for Obi-Wan. . .
"The council, of course! When they assigned you to guard my planet, I needed to know about you. Of course I already knew about my dear friend, Obi-Wan. But when I found out you were top of your class when you graduated from the academy with Kenobi, I was shocked! When I saw how gifted you were, I could not wait to meet you." She seemed so giddy, it caused me to let out a laugh.
"I'm glad I can assist you, Senator." I grinned back. We then began our meal. . .

"I'm sorry, but I don't swing for that team, Senator." I stuttered as I nudged the senators lips away from my face before they could make contact with my lips.
"Oh, I'm sorry." She chuckled. "Obi-Wan didn't mentioning anything about you liking men. . ."
"Funny you say that, because I kind of have feelings for him." I sighed. "But whether I was into women or Obi-Wan did have feelings for me as well, it's not like I could have done anything about it. I mean, we're both Jedi and it's forbidden. Ugh, I don't get it." I let my hands catch my head as I groaned.
"If it makes you feel any better, my kingdom expects me to marry a man." She sighed. "But I don't think they understand I can't change the fact I'm this way. It's just how I feel. It wasn't some choice where they gave me a check list of how I wanted to feel or who to love." She let out a shaky breath.
"That's incredibly noble of you." I picked my head up.
"How so?"
"I mean, you'd rather keep your planet happy instead of loving who you want to love. I think that's beautiful, but I guess I understand because I'm the same in a way. I know Obi-Wan and I can't be together, so I'm trying my best to keep it in. But half of the time I feel like I'm about to break." Tears flooded my eyes as I thought about it.
"Trust me, I know how difficult it is." She rubbed my back.
"I truly believe Satine, if your planet loved you and respected you enough, you should be able to love who you want. I think they would respected you even more for sticking up to who you are." I smiled at her.
"I will forever take those words in concideration when I have to chose whom I marry. Thank you."
"It's the best I can do."
