take my breath away

never fail to amaze

 You nervously brushed your hair, glancing at your clock. 7:15. 'I need to get to the transport bay soon, I don't need Anakin and Obi-wan upset because I'm running late'. You glanced at your reflection in the mirror and were slightly shocked: no wonder Obi-Wan was looking at me, my hair has grown so much, its almost waist length. You decided to abandon your ponytail and leave it down. Ten minutes later you arrived at the transport bay (after forgetting your lightsaber) out of breath. Why do the residences have to be at the opposite end of the temple from the transport bays? "Y/N, what took you so long?" said Anakin. You could tell that he was definitely eager to see Senator Amidala. Out of the corner of your eye you could see Obi-wan looking at you again with great interest. You turned towards him and smiled. "Well, are we ready?" you asked, twisting your hands behind your back. Whenever he looked at you it made you become suddenly, very self-conscious. "I'm always ready. You on the other hand, Y/N...." he said daringly. You rolled your eyes and took your seat on the transport. Coruscant, being such a huge planet/city, was very spread out. The ride to the Senator's apartment would be about 45 minutes. You took the aisle seat next to Obi-wan and shut your eyes, and drifted off into sleep. 

Obi-wan P.O.V

SLUMP. Obi-wan sat up straight with his senses keen. He looked to his right and saw Y/N, leaning on his shoulder. She had fallen asleep. Obi-wan looked over to Anakin, very confused, and attempted to get his attention. Anakin looked up at, him wondering what was wrong. Obi-wan pointed at Y/N's head on his shoulder and mouthed to him, 'what do I do?'. Anakin chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Nothing!" Obi-wan looked bewildered. "Master, she's tired. Just let her sleep. It's not like she has cooties or anything." he scoffed. Obi-wan hadn't heard the term cooties since he was a youngling. Sometimes the Masters would encourage use of the term to discourage attachment. 'You're a grown man now, Obi-wan. Relax. She's just sleeping on your shoulder. Nothing more.' he reassured himself. He relaxed his body and looked down on the girl sleeping on his shoulder. Her long brown hair cascaded down his back and tickled his neck. She also had a distinct Nubian smell (she was found abandoned on Naboo by Master Windu) about her, which reminded him of the missions he did with Qui-Gon there. Honeysuckle. The sweet smell intoxicated him; he was so distracted that he didn't even notice the transport land. His eyes were fixed upon her. "Master.... Master? Master!" said Anakin. Obi-wan cleared his mind and looked at his padawan. "Distracted much?" laughed Anakin, glancing between him and Y/N. "Oh, bug off Anakin." he said. 

Your P.O.V

"Y/N?" you felt breath tickle your ear, and felt someone slightly nudge your shoulder.  Your eyes blinked open, and saw Anakin looking at you, laughing. "Where's Obi-wan?" you groaned. "Wait, who am I leaning-" you sat bolt upright in your seat, embarassed. "Obi-wan, I'm so sorry.." you rambled. Obi-wan was unphased. "Y/N, stop worrying. You were tired. I didn't know how much I wore you out in that duel earlier.." he laughed. Still kind of embarrassed, you stepped into the elevator to the Senator's quarters. This mission was already off to a bad start. 

*********Hours Later*************

Your trio sprinted into Padme's bedroom to reveal two large, grub like worms ready to bite the sleeping senator. Anakin quickly pounced onto the bed and cut them in two. Soon after, you heard a crash and saw Obi-wan soar out the window after a lingering droid. "Obi-wan!" you shouted, running over to the window. Anakin grabbed your shoulder. "Y/N, it doesn't help to stare, we need to go after him!" he said. You were afraid but your brain told you to trust your feelings. You begrudgingly tore yourself from the window and ran after Anakin. 'Please be ok, please be ok',  you thought to yourself over and over, but somehow you knew that Obi-wan was always going to be ok. After the 'difficult' task of picking out a speeder (why is Anakin like this) you were on your way to help Obi-wan. "Anakin, where are you going?" you yelled over the sound of the traffic buzzing by you. "Just trust me!" he said, weaving in and out of the various lanes. You clenched the side of the speeder so hard your knuckles were white; you hated it when Anakin flew. "Scoot over." said Anakin. "Why?" you replied, thoroughly confused. "I said scoot over!" he said again. You rolled your eyes, and just as you started to scoot over, a huge THUD overtook the speeder and caused it to wobble. "What took you two so long?" he asked, as if he hadn't of just plunged hundreds of feet. "Sorry Master, I was kind of picky with the speeders.." he rambled. Obi-wan wasn't amused. You sat there in shock. 'What even just happened?' you thought to yourself. 

A few moments later, after Anakin's failed 'shortcut', you found yourself on top of the bounty hunter's speeder with Anakin. The speeder was jerking around like crazy, and you were struggling to hang on. Anakin got into the cockpit and was trying to bring the speeder down, but his attempts weren't working. The bounty hunter started firing shots randomly, until one hit you into the arm, and you fell. "Y/N!!!" you heard Anakin shout. Seconds late, you hit the ground with a sickening thud. Bystanders gathered around you, but were soon distracted by the sound of a crash. 'The speeder... Anakin....' you thought. You struggled to stand up, and headed towards the crash sight, but you noticed Anakin and Obi-wan run into a nightclub. When you started walking, a searing pain shot through your abdomen from the blaster wound. You finally managed to hobble into the nightclub unnoticed. 'What a wretched hive of scum..' you thought to yourself. Your thoughts directed you to the bar just in time to see the bounty hunter aim at Obi-wan, who seemed oblivious. Before they could fire their shot, you ignited your lightsaber and cut off their shooting arm.  You sighed in relief and dropped to the floor. "Jedi business, get back to your drinks.." you heard Anakin say. You felt someone pick you up to your feet and swing their arm around your shoulders. "That was quite a fall you had, Y/N." said the distinctive voice of Obi-wan Kenobi. "I've had worse than that.." you said, trying to be humble. " He looked at you bewildered. "What?" you said. Whenever he looked at you like that it felt like he was reading your mind. "What you did back there was very honorable, and you saved my life. I must say, Y/N, you never fail to amaze me." he said. Those words sent your heart up to your chest and gave it wings. All the feelings that the Jedi order told you to shut out rushed into your mind at once like a stampede. Your cheeks turned a violent shade of red. "T-thank you." you managed to stutter. He grinned and put his arm back around your shoulder. "Now let's go find this bounty hunter, shall we?"
