Between Two Worlds-Luxsoka

getting better

Ahsoka woke unable to move. She tried, but something felt heavy on her chest.

Then she realized she was in the clutch of the senator.

This is wrong. I never should have asked for him to stay with me. I never should have allowed for him to touch me. This isn't appropriate.

Besides, he'd have to deal with the knowledge that his late girlfriend died because of me.

Though Ahsoka's thoughts were contradicting each other.

But you know you like him. You know you don't mind it. You want to be hugged and kissed by him.

But he's a senator. And if something else between us happens and Coruscant finds out, I'd be exposed for sure.

Please. Just, give in. Just a little. Take it slow.

We'll see. I still don't think he'd feel the same way.

Are you blind? Of course he feels for you. Why else would he be acting this way?

Because he's nice.

Just kiss him already!

No!

Lux began to stir as Ahsoka's inner argument settled.  "Good morning, sleepyhead," she said, stroking his bangs. Stop it now, Ahsoka. Stop.

Lux gave an ear-to-ear grin, and gave Ahsoka a quick kiss on the cheek. "Mornin'."

"What was that for?" Ahsoka asked.

"It's friendly." Sure.

Oh shut up. You wish it was on the lips.

Be quiet! No I don't.

"Can you help me? I'm hungry." In an instant, Lux was up, walking to the chair. Bridal-style, Lux set Ahsoka in there.

Usually they'd both be dressed for breakfast. But they didn't care. (Secretly, Ahsoka was excited about the boy's messy hair. It was just so cute.)

Ahsoka didn't even punish herself for this comment. It was difficult to disagree.

"Smells wonderful!" Lux exclaimed as he rolled Ahsoka into her place at the table. "Must be fresh!"

They ate in relative silence. But both of them snuck glaces at each other when they thought no one was looking. (The king saw this, and so did Lux's assistant, the cook, and a few other paid servants.)

"Jupa come here," Lux proclaimed suddenly. The assistant quickly came to Lux's side. Lux then promptly kissed Jupa on the cheek. "See, Ahsoka, friendly."

Both Jupa and Ahsoka were in shock, but accepted the fact that Bonteri did that.

After they ate, Lux wheeled Ahsoka to her room so she could use the toilet and freshen herself up while Lux waited for her outside.

He thought indefinitely that he most likely loved the girl he was caring for. But so many questions still buzzed around his head.

Why haven't the Jedi come for her yet? Why hasn't she talked to him about it? Why doesn't she want him to send a hologram to them? Why why why?

"Help," from a small voice pulled Lux out of his thoughts.

"Yes?" he called back.

"I'm stuck," was barely said before Lux came in to help. Well, she was right. She was stuck on the refresher toilet.

Embarrassment flushed through both Ahsoka and Lux. Ahsoka kept apologizing over and over again. "You shouldn't have to do this."

"Hush," he said, ignoring he fact she was half naked. "I will have to do this sometime in the future."

Ahsoka wasn't exactly sure what that meant, but allowed for the help she asked.

Standing up, the shirt fell over her nether regions. Lux didn't have to worry anymore.

Instead of helping her back to the chair, Lux gave an embrace. Holding her. Making sure she's safe. "You don't ever have to apologize for anything. I'm here to protect you now. No more saving me. That's my job, 'Soka."

Clutching tightly onto the polo fabric of Lux's shirt, she put her lekku to his heart, hearing the steady thum thum thum.

Looking up into his warm eyes, Ahsoka had the instinct to lean in and kiss him. However, something stopped her from doing so, and she didn't know why.

For a while it was just the senator and Togruta, clinging onto each other in the sick girl's refresher.

And neither wanted to let go.
