summary: What happens when 3 idiots attempt to do anything
includes: fluff, Ahsoka
The movie was barely halfway through and already forgotten. Ahsoka had sprawled herself across your couch like she owned it, feet kicked up on the coffee table, blanket wrapped around her shoulders, eyes locked on the screen while she absentmindedly munched on popcorn that was definitely going stale. You were curled up on the other end, half-watching, half-dozing, both of you too comfortable to care about plot holes or who was even winning the space battle currently unfolding in front of you.
The door slid open with its usual hiss and a very familiar sigh echoed through the entryway.
Ahsoka didn’t even flinch. “Took you long enough.”
You turned your head toward the door just as Anakin stepped in, looking every bit the exhausted Jedi Knight — cloak slung over his arm, tunic rumpled, hair a windswept mess like he'd argued with Obi-Wan and a sandstorm on the way back.
He blinked at the two of you, then slowly raised an eyebrow. “What... is this?”
“Movie night.” Ahsoka said without missing a beat.
“We do this now?” He asked, kicking off his boots.
“We did this the second you were late.” You smiled, shifting over so there was a spot for him on the couch — not that he ever asked.
He came over, dropped his cloak on the armrest, and collapsed next to you with a groan. “I thought we were doing dinner.”
“You were supposed to be home an hour ago.” You pointed out. “Ahsoka got here first. She picked the movie.”
“She picked this?” Anakin squinted at the screen. “This is garbage.”
“It’s fun garbage.” Ahsoka argued, grabbing a handful of popcorn and throwing a few pieces at him. “Shut up and watch.”
Anakin caught one in his mouth, chewed, then leaned his head back against the couch with a dramatic sigh. “I’m starving.”
“There’s leftover pasta.” You offered.
“We could make something.” You said without thinking.
He turned to look at you, eyes lighting up like you just offered to smuggle him off Coruscant. “Seriously?”
“I mean, it’d be better than this movie.” You teased, already standing.
“I’ll help,” Ahsoka said, hopping up immediately, which made you pause.
“You helping me cook?” you raised an eyebrow. “Since when?”
“Since I decided I’m the only one here with basic taste.” She grinned, grabbing the blanket and wrapping it around her like a cape. “C’mon, I’ve seen how he makes toast.”
Anakin sat up straight. “That happened one time—”
“You set the toaster on fire.” You and Ahsoka said at the same time.
He pouted and crossed his arms. “It was defective.”
You shook your head, laughing as you led the way into the kitchen. Ahsoka immediately went to raid the pantry while Anakin trailed after you like a very tall, very clingy shadow. “Cookies?” Anakin offered.
Not twenty minutes later, the kitchen was in shambles.
There was flour on the floor. On the counter. Somehow on the ceiling. You weren’t even sure how that happened, but when you looked up, you saw a thin white smudge above the light fixture and decided it was better not to ask.
Anakin refused to follow a recipe. He was elbow-deep in a mixing bowl, dumping sugar in without measuring, claiming that he definitely remembered how to do it from the one time Shmi taught him.
“She told me to never let you near a kitchen again.” You pointed out, only half joking.
“She was exaggerating.” He said confidently, not even looking up.
You leaned over to Ahsoka, who was aggressively stirring chocolate chips into a separate bowl like she was trying to start a fight with it. “He’s going to burn them.”
“I give it five minutes before he sets off the fire alarms,. She grinned.
“Guys.” Anakin interrupted, brushing hair out of his face with a hand that was somehow now sticky with batter. “Trust me.”
You didn’t. But you also didn’t stop him.
Eventually, after a lot of arguing over oven temperature and cookie size, you managed to get the first tray in. Anakin shoved it into the oven like it personally offended him, and you immediately turned the heat down the second he looked away.
The second the cookies were out, Ahsoka tried to pipe little chocolate faces on, but her attempts at drawing droids came out…questionable at best. She held one up proudly. “This one’s you.”
You squinted at the lopsided blob. “That’s rude.”
“It’s accurate.” She smirked.
“They look cursed.” Anakin said flatly.
“They look like me.” You replied dryly. “Thanks.”
“They’re your kind of cursed.” Anakin said, nudging Ahsoka’s shoulder. “Which means they’re perfect.”
You rolled your eyes, but your heart was already melting.
When the second batch finally came out, but was burnt on the edges. The third batch was raw in the middle. The fourth one was passable—maybe a little too soft, a little uneven, but edible. Barely...
You all sat on the kitchen floor afterward, backs against the counters, cookie plates scattered around you. There was frosting on Ahsoka’s cheek, flour dusting the front of Anakin’s tunic, and a smear of chocolate across your own wrist. It was a mess. You were a mess. Everything smelled like sugar and chaos.
You took a bite out of one that looked the least disastrous, chewed slowly, and then said, “Not bad.”
“I’m a baking genius.” Anakin muttered, already half-asleep beside you, eyes closed and head leaned against the wall.
“You almost blew up the oven.”
“Teamwork.” He said smugly, cracking one eye open to smirk at you.
Ahsoka groaned beside you. “I’ve never been this full and disappointed at the same time.”
You reached over and flicked a crumb off her forehead. “We should do it again sometime.”
“I’m pretty sure the kitchen needs to be exorcised before that happens.” She said, glancing toward the wreckage.
You laughed and leaned your head against Anakin’s shoulder. For a moment, no one spoke. The room was quiet, warm, full of the kind of soft peace that was rare in all three of your lives. Even with the mess, the raw dough, the half-melted frosting — it felt perfect.
Later, when Ahsoka was finally convinced to help clean (after threatening to leave five different times and Anakin bribing her with the last decent cookie), the three of you tackled the disaster zone together. Anakin kept licking the spoon and then pretending he didn’t, and Ahsoka kept flinging tiny balls of dough at him when she thought you weren’t looking.
It took a while, and the kitchen still looked a little haunted by the end of it, but you managed.
Afterward, when Ahsoka was heading back to the Temple, Anakin pulled you aside, still a little dusted with powdered sugar, his hand warm against your waist.
