Star Wars: Survivor

43-Late-Night Thoughts

Obi Wan opened his eyes to the now familiar ceiling of the Med Center. Back again, am I? 

He assessed himself and determined there was no damage. He felt a little tired but not so much that it would affect him. 

He sat up and looked around the room. It was empty. Checking his infallible time-sense, Obi Wan determined that it was 1:27 in the morning. That explained why his room was empty. Obi Wan rose from the bed, noticed he was still in his suit, minus the blazer which had been damaged, and walked out. He found Vokara Che, got checked out, then left. He flagged a taxi and told the driver the address. 

Finally, he found himself in front of the door to his and Satine's apartment. He unlocked it and went in search of his wife. His wife...  he liked how that sounded. He found her asleep in bed. Quietly, he got into his sleepwear and slid in beside her. She woke and asked, "Obi?" 

"Hello, Mrs. Kenobi." He smiled at that. 

She laughed and wrapped him in a hug, then she pulled back and kissed him deeply. He put his arms around her and she leaned into him. 

After they broke apart, Satine slid over and leaned against him. "Welcome home, my hero." He kissed her on the top of the head and she fell asleep cuddled into him. He fell asleep soon after to the sensation of his beautiful wife pressed against him.

Ahsoka lay in bed late at night feeling lonely. She missed Lux dreadfully. After she had left the Order he had helped her and they had grown close. Very close. They had both been in the Rebellion against the Empire. The week before she had been sent on the mission to save Luke Skywalker, he had proposed. She had accepted, of course! She loved him, and now they were separated. How was he coping with her death? Did he miss her as much as she missed her? Had he moved on? Did he even miss her? 

Whenever Ahsoka was alone or not occupied, these thoughts ate away at her. She sighed and turned over, trying to get more comfortable. She wished that Lux was here... But that would mean he had died. She didn't want that. She wanted him to live a long life. But...

Ahsoka gave up on sleep and pulled out the single holo of Lux and her that she had. With some small mercy, the Force had allowed it to stay in her pocket, even after she had died. She smiled at how they were holding hands. They looked so happy and carefree. It had been taken right after he had proposed. She could see the ring on her finger. She felt the weight of it on her finger now. She cherished it and thanked the Force that she had retained that link to her love. 

Ahsoka lay back and clutched the ring like a lifeline. Tears leaked out of her closed eyes, slowly trickling down her face. Eventually, she fell asleep, the holo of her and Lux filling the room with a small amount of light...

Anakin and Padme lay together on their bed. Padme was asleep but Anakin was still awake. Via his bond with his former Master, he knew that Obi Wan was now awake and home. That made him smile, his last worry evaporated. Unaware of why he couldn't sleep, he stretched out through the Force. There was Padme, peaceful in a pleasant dream. Obi Wan and Satine were happy. What was wrong? He reached farther, beyond his building. There was a rush of feelings and people, but he narrowed it to the one's he cared about.

Ahsoka...

She was upset. Why? He could't tell and she wasn't acknowledging him. She probably didn't notice that he was there. Was something troubling her? Was she ill? Anakin sighed. He would ask her tomorrow. Hopefully, she would tell him. He only wanted to help. He would find out and try to fix it. With that resolution for the new day, Anakin fell asleep.

A/N: Poor Ahsoka! Anyway, I have three of my ships in this chapter: Luxsoka, Obitine, and Anidala. 

Anyway, may the Force be with you!
