          the  celebrations  seemed  to  go  on  for  hours   :   everyone  enjoying  the  liberation  that  comes  with  the  destruction  of  another  death  star   (   &   the  deaths  of  the  two  most  dangerous  men  in  the  galaxy   )   .   despite  the  joy  she  felt   ,   something  inside  her  continually  pulled  her  attention  to  her  brother   .   the  idea  of  luke  being  her  brother  was  still  new   ---   but  she  couldn’t  deny  the  bond  they  shared   .   the  bond  that  had  been  there  from  the  start   :   her  twin   .   ❝   luke   ?   ❞   pressing  her  palms  together   ,   she  finds  the  words  she  wishes  to  say  hard  to  form  on  her  lips   (   something  that  only  frustrated  her  farther   )   .   ❝   can  i  ask  you   ---   about  the  force   . . .   what   ---   what  does  it  feel  like  to  you   ?   ❞

@givemercy  asked  for  nothing   .

There were no words. Luke stared in wide-eyed disbelief into the distance, not connecting with Padmé or anything but the sinking feeling of betrayal. His skin paled, swallowing on a dry throat. Part of him wants to curl up in her arms, pretend it was all some bad dream. But Luke knows he has to be strong, has to keep that distance. He wasn’t a kid anymore, he had to stand on his own two feet.

❛ So, instead, you waited for me to find out the hard way? You should have told me, mom, ❜ did she really think him so shallow that he’d walk out the door if he heard the truth? That Darth Vader was his father? How he’d protested in complete disbelief when he heard, not wanting to accept the hard truth he knew in his heart. ❛ I didn’t want to believe him at first, I kept waiting for him to say he was lying. Because - I thought - my mom would have told me if Vader was my father. ❜

I was terrified. I didn’t know what to do.

          the  weight  of  her  guilt  falls  harder  on  her  as  he  speaks  of  her  betrayal   ---   the  title   :   MOM  used  to  cut  her  deeply   .   lying  to  her  children  had  never  been  the  path  she  wished  to  take   ;   leaving  them  to  be  taken  care  of  by  other  people  was  never  what  she  wanted   .   her  choices  had  been  stripped  from  her  long  before  luke   &   leia   could  begin  to  understand  what  they  were  being  born  into   .   tears  fill  the  brim  of  her  eyelids  as  looks  upon  his  beaten   &   bruised  form   .   she  silently   c u r s e d   anakin  for  his  horrid  actions  against  their  son   ---   the  son  knew  about   .   

          ❝   i  NEVER  wanted  you  to  know   . . .   at  all   .   ❞   the  curt  confession  slipping  from  her  lips  quicker  than  her  ability  to  stop  it   .   it  shocked  even  herself   ,   but  it  was  the  truth   .   meekly  she  steps  forward   ,   placing  two  gentle  hands  on  each  side  of  his  head   ;   lightly  combing  through  his  shaggy  blonde  hair  in  hopes  of  calming  his  panic   .   ❝   please   ---   luke  . . .   i  only  mean  i  wished  for  you  to  only  know  him  as  he  was   .   not  the  man  he’s  become  . . .   a  man  who  would  do  this  to  his  son   .   ❞

❛ Kind-of? ❜ admittedly, Luke’s first attempts at cooking for the family had proved somewhatunimpressive. He was still young, but an adventurous spirit had led to some interesting flavour combinations. His style was to combine everything he liked and hope it turned out well.

Whatever he managed to produce was always placed in front of his father with a showman’s flourish, grinning as though it would somehow encourage Anakin to smile too. It was at least edible, probably. ❛ It’s a mixture of things. Sweet and sour-ish, but with a bit of something savoury as well. ❜

     he looked up at his son as he placed the bowl of blue liquid in front of him, eyebrows knitted in confusion in just how he had concocted such a meal “sweet, sour, savoury, and...” he took the spoon that laid on the table and scooped up some of the mixture “...blue?” 

     “are you trying to poison me, kid?”

A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS » ACCEPTING

『 QUITE RIGHT, MASTER LUKE, SIR !!! 』the droid replies in earnest. He had informed Master Luke of the threat of bodily harm should they not evacuate immediately  « a quick calculation had determined the odds of death or disfigurement to be two-hundred and fourteen to one » exactly thirty-seven minutes prior, and yet still the man had insisted on continuing the mission. It was a uniquely biological character flaw that all natural born sentient lifeforms seemed to possess: a complete and utter disregard for the fragility of their bodies. It was the eternal irony of Threepio’s existence that he, who had the least cause for concern of permanent injury, should be the only voice of caution in such matters. It truly was a droids lot in life to be constantly ignored.  『 MIGHT I INQUIRE THOUGH, SIR, DO YOU HAVE A PLAN ? 』

‘ i’ll always take care of you. ‘

    "I... appreciate the thought; Truly, I do, but I’m not so sure if I can believe it...” Rey felt a ping of uncertainty running through her bones, along with the many doubts that constantly bombard her whenever she is around the other, much wiser individual. She simply did not know what to do about any of this, much less the information that someone like himself was even offering this sort of comfort to her. Her expression lingered on the ground for a moment longer, before her cautious gaze went up to face his, and she couldn’t help but to feel some slight anger in all this. “Why me?”| @givemercy |

“This is what friends do. They support each other.”

“Yeah, well... I ain’t exactly had a lot to go on there.” The admission came grudgingly, but it was one Luke had earned. Too many runs almost dying together had a funny way of bringing people closer together. “But if you say so, we can give it a shot.”
