Summary: Day 16: ON A NEED TO KNOW BASIS Recovery | Scars | Aftermath Luke struggles in the aftermath of Bespin. Vampire AU!
Excerpt:
Luke watched his fellow pilots get in line with hollow eyes, a small plate untouched before him. It was some kind of meatloaf tonight, but it hardly mattered. Everything tasted like ash on his tongue these days, only serving to bring back his worst memories. He only ate to satisfy his friends. It hadn’t filled the hole gnawing at his stomach since Bespin.
Wedge sat down across from him with a tray of his own.
“You gonna eat that, Luke?” his friend asked.
Luke pasted a smile on his face. “Yeah, already ate some of it. I was waiting for you guys to finish.”
He cringed internally. I was waiting for you guys to finish? What kind of banthashit was that?
Wedge laughed once, shaking his head as he dug in. “Whatever gets you to eat, Luke.”
