(aka a very self-indulgent modern!selfship fic)
Magnolia Whispers had always praised herself for being one of the only girls at Coruscant Academy who wasn't insane about dating.
Until the school talent show, watching a school indie band, "The Ghost Crew", perform with their lead singer:
Ahsoka Tano.
She knew that she was screwed the moment she watched Ahsoka step onstage. She was in a black turtleneck teck and jeans with stars on them. She was absolutely lovestruck. Magnolia noticed her mic stand was covered in stickers.
Then she started to sing, and oh kriff.
Her voice was angelic. She guessed they were playing a cover of some alternative song she didn't know, but still majestic.
She couldn't pay attention to anyone else in the band.
Not Hera, who was playing the drums.
Or Kanan and Ezra, on the keys and guitar.
Sabine on background vocals.
Just Ahsoka. Purely Ahsoka. With her dark, vitiligo-full skin and long hair with dyed bits of blue and white mixed in. Her dark crimson lips, so absolutely full and gorgeous.
She couldn't look away. Whatsoever. She knew that she was probably as pink as her sweater, but she couldn't bring herself to care.
Then Ahsoka winked at her. At least, she thought it was her. Could've been a whole separate girl.
Eventually, the talent show ended and Magnolia grabbed her bag, burying those feelings as deep as she could. Romance was heavily frowned upon at Coruscant Academy, according to all the teachers.
But Maker, she couldn't help but admire Ahsoka packing up her mic as she passed. Her headphones blared her comfort album, "Speak Now" by Taylor Swift. Taylor's Version, of course. She wasn't a heathen (though the original was great).
She gripped the straps of her bag tightly, thankful that she was heading to her secret area in the boarding school during the next free period.
She figured out in freshman year that there was a small door in the library that nobody noticed, so it was her little private escape.
There was a TV, a blanket on the wood floor, a radio, her schoolbooks, and a small stuffed animal collection next to her phone charger. She exhaled as she crawled into the room, still not getting the other girl out of her head.
She'd work up the courage one day...
OP: OKAY THIS IS KINDA ASS BARE WITH ME 🥹😭
