Have Faith - Anakin Skywalker Imagine
Prompt/s: #19 âare you crying?â & #27 âI canât let you do thisâ
A/N: Soooo surprise! Iâve been completely MIA for 3 years, cool. Iâm back though, at least for now because I saw TROS recently so naturally my love for Anakin returned and I got a sudden burst of motivation to write some imagines. This one was based on a request I had in my inbox from some prompts I reblogged ages ago, Iâm not sure how old the request was although I used it as a way to sort of dip my toes back in the water as itâs been a long time since Iâve written an imagine so I apologise if it isnât the greatest! I may do a part two if itâs wanted, but feel free to request new ideas for imagines as well! Iâll do my best to get to them, hopefully better than last time haha.
Wrapped tightly in Anakinâs arms and comforted by your forbidden loverâs embrace, you held onto him for dear life as you felt tears begin to slide down your cheeks and onto the warm skin of his neck where your head was nestled. âAre you crying?â He asked after a moment, no doubt feeling the wet droplets fall upon his skin before he pulled away just slightly to allow himself a glance at your face. His own voice was strained and there was a look in his eyes that you just couldnât read â which was strange, given how well you knew Anakin. Still, you swallowed back more tears as you nodded lightly, confirming the inevitable.
You knew you should be out there, fighting alongside your comrades. Alongside Anakin. The best of you told you that was what was right, though Anakin told you otherwise. âYou must stay here, where you are safeâ, he had said just moments before. Any other time you wouldnât have listened. Not when there was a full blown war raging just outside your window, where you could see smoke pouring from the Jedi Temple from where the two of you currently stood on the balcony of your shared apartment. You were a Jedi too â it was your duty to standby and protect all that you were. But there had been a certain desperation to the tone of his voice, almost as though he knew something that you didnât. You wanted to question it but for some reason you didnât, too relieved that he had returned to you in this moment whilst also worrying about whether or not he would return again following his visit to the Mustafar system where heâd said he was going in order to end the war.
âI canât let you do this.â You told him with a shake of your head, your hands reaching up to embrace either side of his face. âAt least let me come with you, it doesnât feel right for you to go alone. Please, Anakin. I canât just do nothing.â
Taking both of your hands away from his face and into his own, he squeezed them gently before bringing them to his lips where he kissed them gently. âYou must, Y/N. The Chancellor has given me a very important mission and I must carry it through myself. Besides, I know how skilled of a Jedi you are but I wouldnât be able to forgive myself if anything happened to you.â
Dropping your head to avoid looking him in the eyes, you only nodded reluctantly. It was true that this mission had been given to him by Chancellor Palpatine whom had always had quite a close relationship with Anakin and you were sure that was the reason why he had given it to Anakin alone. Still, you yourself had always been suspicious of the Chancellor for reasons you couldnât quite explain and so you couldnât help but feel uneasy. Though Anakin trusted him and you trusted Anakin with all you had, that being enough for you to swallow your pride and take his word.
âHave faith, my love. Soon everything will be set right.â He spoke softly, raising his flesh hand to gently brush a stray strand of your hair behind your ear. âWait for me until I return. Things will be different, I promise.â His voice held sincerity as did his expression as he looked down upon you reassuringly and once again you could only nod, not trusting your words in that moment. There was a pit in your stomach, making you feel anxious and on edge and oddly enough Anakinâs words didnât seem to ease the feeling. Something was wrong, you just werenât yet sure of what exactly it was. You had no idea of the true meaning behind Anakinâs words, of just how different things would be. You had no idea that he was behind the attacks on the Jedi Temple, that he had killed younglings and Jedi alike. That he had turned to the Dark Side, just as he did in a dream you once had long ago of Anakin where all you could see of him were the yellow of his eyes behind a dark cloak. You didnât know any of this, not yet.
Leaning in closer, Anakinâs lips captured your own in a loving kiss, his fingertips brushing softly along your cheek as he then pulled away once more whilst your hands gripped lightly at either of his forearms as though you were scared to let go of him. And you were. âPlease, wait for me.â These words were more strict than the last, yet still soft spoken as he kept his gaze on you, slowly backing away until he was out of your reach though he didnât take his eyes off you until he turned to board his ship. And just like that, he was gone again â the both of you unaware of just what your next meeting would hold.
