THE SUN WAS SOFT THAT AFTERNOON, DRAPING THE JEDI TEMPLE GARDENS IN A GOLDEN KIND OF QUIET. The stone paths were warm beneath your boots, the hum of distant speeders barely cutting through the sound of birdsongs and rustling leaves.
There was a breeze, light and playful, threading through the tall grasses and swaying the heads of the flowers that lined the edges of the courtyard. It smelled like Naboo, somehow—like sun-warmed petals and something fresh and green.
It always started the same way.
You’d be walking through the Temple grounds—usually after a training session with your Master, sometimes on your way to the Archives, once even after a really boring mission debrief—and out of nowhere, Anakin would slow down beside you as you two were walking together. His eyes would wander a bit, like he wasn’t really listening anymore. You used to think he was zoning out. Turns out, he was just looking for flowers.
The first time it happened, you right were here in the Temple gardens. You were mid-sentence about something pretty boring—which was the ridiculous size of the new training droids—when you noticed Anakin had stopped listening entirely. You were about to call him out when he suddenly turned to you, completely unbothered, holding the softest-looking flower between his fingers. It was a small flower—soft blue petals, barely bigger than his thumb.
“Hold still,” he said, like it was the most normal thing in the galaxy.
You blinked a few times in confusion, but didn’t move an inch—just tilted your head questioningly as he stepped in close, your eyes looking up at him.
He reached up with one hand and carefully tucked the flower behind your ear, his fingertips brushing your skin so lightly it made your breath catch.
You stood there staring up at him, heart tripping over itself, while he just smiled at you like you’d hung every single star in the sky.
“Perfect,” he said, quietly. Not looking at the flower, but instead looking at you.
You could feel your cheeks warming up, a rosy blush covering your face, but it was still impossible to look away from him. His gaze was so open, so full, that it made your stomach twist in the best kind of way.
“You’re ridiculous.” You murmured as your lips quirked up at the corners, trying to sound casual.
His own lips twitched like he was fighting back a smile. “Can you blame me?”
He said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Like tucking flowers behind your ear was as natural to him as breathing. And maybe it was.
“I like seeing you with something soft,” he added after a beat, voice quieter now. “Like… Like the world should treat you just as gently.”
Your stomach was filled with butterflies in that moment, and it was hard to hide the way your eyes twinkled with adoration for him.
And all he did was smile at you. That small, boyish one. The one that only ever reached his eyes when he was looking at you.
Since then, it’s just become a thing of his now.
Sometimes he does it in passing, like it’s muscle memory now. You’ll be walking towards the mess hall, or sitting on a bench in the courtyard, or leaning over a datapad—and suddenly, there’s Anakin, plucking a tiny bloom from somewhere and tucking it behind your ear like it belongs there.
Like you belong to him, in this small, soft, secret kind of way.
No one else notices. Or if they do, they pretend not to—like Obi-Wan, for instance.
Maybe because it's Anakin, and he knows better than to ask about whatever storm or sun is brewing behind those eyes.
But when he's with you? It's never stormy. Just warm.
Soft. Reverent.
A little shy, even.
The way he looks at you every time he does it… stars. It’s like you’ve undone him without even trying. Like he’s seeing the whole galaxy and somehow you’re still the brightest thing in it.
There’s no smirk on his face, ever. No cocky comment. Just that stupidly soft smile you adore and those eyes—so full of something that looks so dangerously close to love.
Once, you caught him doing it when you were barely paying attention. A little wildflower tucked behind your ear, and he stared at you for a second longer than usual.
“What?” You asked, trying not to grin.
“Nothing,” he said, but his voice was too full of feeling for it to mean nothing. “You’re just… beautiful.”
And you couldn’t even pretend to tease him for it, because your heart was doing backflips, and you knew his was too. Because for all his bravado and charm, Anakin loves in quiet ways—in flowers and looks and touches that said everything he couldn’t out loud.
And even now, with the war growing louder, and the galaxy heavier, he still finds time. Still finds flowers. Still finds you.
Because loving you is the only thing that’s ever felt easy.
And he’d rather die than let go of that.
Rather die than let go of you.
