“Mom?” Ben poked his head around the corner of the family’s living room. “I need to ask your serious opinion about something.”

He moved fully into the room, waiting for her to put  down her datapad and focus. “I realize that this will cause you to give me the third degree, and I also realize that there’s nothing that I can do about it. I also know that I feel pretty good about most of the decisions going into this, and I want you to not be too... I dunno... Mom about it, okay?” 

He dropped into the chair opposite her and put his feet up on the coffee table. “Can you do that?”

    the Dark Side wasn’t a reliable narrator. galen and come form a family, he had been someone before being Vader and unknowingly the emperor's puppet. he stared back at the girl, he had indeed been drawn to her, “ i wanted more than a slaves life.”

@capacityformayhem​:  ❝ shut up and kiss me. ❞

She didn’t have to tell him twice. Luke leaned over to kiss her, one hand resting at the back of her neck-- while the other went to his side to playfully cover Ben’s eyes while his parents kissed.

🍻 + “ is there something you have never told anyone ?”

“I mean... obviously. However, if I tell you, then there isn’t, is there? So. Yes. Yes is the answer. There is.”

That isn’t a question she expects to be asked. It takes her a moment to process, eventually deciding on a light shrug. “If I knew, I’d worry a lot less. But I’m not sure even your dad knows the answer to that one, baby.” There isn’t much Luke can’t answer but unless he’d had some experience she had no idea about... “All I can tell you is that the people left behind will carry the memories of you forward and that’s all I can ask for.”

“But he’s a Jedi like you, Mommy. Everyone says you and Daddy know everything.” Nothing seems to satisfy his four-year-old mind, the curiosity on his brows getting deeper with each sentence. “Can’t they take our stuff? What’s gonna happen to our stuff when we die? Are they gonna throw it away?” He tilts his head at his mother with a faint pout, clutching his stuffed tooka closer to his chest. Bedtime stories are supposed to be fun, aren’t they? He doesn’t like this feeling—this tightness in his chest. “I don’t want them to throw Jak away.”

Closet Monsters

Closet Monsters: Does your muse hide any aspects of their personality/life from others?

If Ben hides anything from everyone, it’s how out of his depths he feels most of the time. He really is still so very, very young. And he knows that most of the people he knows were, too, and so that’s why he tries hard to be just as confident as he’s sure that they were. (If he only knew...)

Also, he’s secretly sort of afraid that he missed the part of being a kid where you’re actually... y’know... a kid. So he worries that he’s not very good at hanging out with other people his own age and he worries about what that means for him.

@capacityformayhem​: Don’t “mother” me, I’m still mom and can still kick your adorable butt!

“I’ve never doubted that for a second... but, adorable, though? Mom...” He scrunched his face. “I’m not a kid anymore.”
