Flashbacks are in italics
When Obi-wan contacted you you were happy to hear a familiar voice after many years of barely know about him and your brother, you were sure Obi-wan was taking good care of Anakin. You were excited to meet them and catch up with your little brother.
Your orders were to wait in the hangars of Coruscant for your brother and the person you would be transporting but the Jedi Master never told you who was that special person you would be escorting and you wished he at least had warned you it was her.
“Y/N?” Padme said surprised to see you waiting outside the big starship. “Is it truly you, Y/N?” she asked with a big smile.
She looked radiant as ever, hadn’t change much since the last time you saw her a few years ago except for the fact that time had only made her even more beautiful. Her soft smile and tender yet penetrating gaze reminded you of the first time you met in a planet with twin suns.
“Boy, get in here! Now!” Watto yelled and a little Anakin ran in from the junkyard. "What took you so long?" He asked in the language of the Hutt.
"I was cleaning the bin" the young boy said in the same language.
"Never mind! Watch the store. I've got some selling to do here" the blue alien commanded. "And where the hell is your sister? Call her" He said and turned to meet his client, a man who needed some parts for his ship.
With a last warning to the gungan the man followed Watto outside the store to the junkyard, leaving the young woman and the gungan with Anakin who sat on the counter, pretending to clean a part but his gaze was glued to the young woman standing a big uncomfortable in the middle of the room.
"Y/N!" Anakin looked behind the counter.
"Give me a moment!" You yelled from the room in the back of the shop where you were fixing some small motors and parts Watto was unable to, he knew you were good with mechanics. You stood up and took a piece of cloth to clean your oil covered hands as you walked towards the front of the shop.
Meanwhile the young Anakin couldn't stop glancing at the girl and then he finally got the courage to speak to her.
“Are you an angel?” your brother asked surprising the lady.
“What?” she said with a bit of surprise.
You were entering to the room but stopped for a moment to hear your little brother speaking.
“An angel.” he continued “I’ve heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They live on the moons of iego, I think.” Anakin explained “They are the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They are good and kind, and so pretty they make even the most hardened spice pirate cry.”
You chuckled taking the last steps to the counter and you stayed behind it next to your brother to finally look at the young woman he was referring as an angel who was a bit silent, certainly not really knowing what to answer to a child like Ani admiring her beauty.
“Anakin!” you interrupted seeing the lady slightly blushed. Your gaze met hers then, she scanned your face, curious to know who you were. You saw kindness on her eyes and when smiled, Maker, you felt like you were melting. If Anakin wasn’t right about calling her an angel, she was the most beautiful creature you had ever seen. You almost freeze for a moment, stunned by her.
“I’ve never heard of angels” she said smiling at you before she returned her eyes back to Ani.
“You must be one.” Ani said “Maybe you just don’t know it.” he added.
“You’re a funny little boy” the girl chuckled.
“You must forgive my little brother” you told her with a gentle smile “He can be a bit mouthy sometimes” Anakin stared at you furious.
“I see that” she said with a bigger smile.
“He’s not really used to see pretty girls such as yourself” you told her and you saw her slightly chuckling, if your brother could make a move over this girl you were going to show him the proper way to flirt.
Padme blushed for a moment before she shook her head and gave you an intense, daring glance. “Now, who’s being mouthy?”
You went silent for a moment, not only was she beautiful but she had such a brave personality.
You hoped she would have stayed around a bit longer, but a man followed by a droid rushed into the store from the junkyard.
“We’re leaving” the man said and the gungar that was playing around with some small droid followed him. Padme doubted for a moment to follow the man.
“I’m glad I met you…” she said looking kindly at you.
“Y/N. I’m Padme” she said with a smile and then she turned to your brother “I’m glad to met you too, little boy”
“My name's Anakin” your brother protested only to making Padme chuckle before she turned to leave the shop. “I’m glad I met you too”
You both watched silently how she left.
“I think she likes me”Anakin said breaking the silence and you couldn’t contain yourself from laughing a little too hard.
“And what you know about girls, Ani?” you mocked “You’re nine”
“Shut up! I know she likes me!” he told you. You laughed messing his hair a little, an action you knew he hated.
“Yeah, whatever. Now go finish your work so we can go home” you told him and he immediately jumped off the counter. Once he was gone you kept staring at the door hoping Padme would come back someday.
“I can't believe it’s actually you, Y/N” Padme said as she greeted you with a warm hug, you smelled her rich perfume and enjoyed her closeness.
“It’s so good to see you, Padme” you told her still keeping her close to you. Then you finally let go of her.
“For all the stars! Look at you, Y/N” she said smiling as her eyes traveled up and down your body. “You certainly inherited your mother’s beauty. I’ve really missed you, Y/N” She looked you in the eyes for a moment, you had forgot how much power this woman had over you, with only one gaze she could make the whole world around you disappear.
Anakin cleared his throat audibly, he wanted to remind you his presence there, just like when he was a little child.
“We better get going now” He said “For Padme’s safety” You finally took a look at your little brother, well he was absolutely not little anymore, he looked rather like a man, tall, strong but he still had the same mischief smirk.
“Good to see you too, Ani” you chuckled and he rolled his eyes.
“Where’s the pilot?” he asked.
“I am the pilot, Anakin” you told him “In fact, I own this ship” there was a bit of surprise on his eyes, admiration too but he decided not to show it too much
“Can that thing even fly?” he said looking with an arched brow at your starship.
"You can bet" you told him and turned to Padme gently offering a hand "Welcome aboard the Medusa, m’lady. Please let me show you around" you told her and she giggled as she took your hand it the same polite and classy way she would have done years before when she was monarch. You leaded her inside the ship leaving Anakin with the luggage and R2 beeping by his side.
“You look more like mom every day” Anakin murmured leaning in the doorway of the cockpit, you watched him for a moment over your shoulder. “Have you seen her?”
“Not in a long time” you told him. “You?” he shook his head.
Pulling some levers the ship went into lightspeed, the you let the control panel to look at your brother. Time had really change him, he looked so professional on his Jedi robes. He analyzed the cockpit for a moment.
“So this is yours?” He said smiling “It’s nice”
“Thanks, I worked a lot to buy it” you told him as you got up pushing some buttons around the place. You stood in front of him before you smiled.
"What you're thinking about?" You asked, his gaze was focused on the distance but met yours to answer.
"Her" he murmured "I just can't stop thinking about her and she didn't even recognize me when she saw me"
"Well, you have changed quite a bit, little brother" you chuckled.
"But she remembered you immediately when she saw you" he said "and it's not fair. I have spent all this years thinking on her, dreaming about her… "
"Longing to see her again, to meet her intense stare and soft smile. To hear her firm voice when she speaks serious matters but warm when she's talking about her people" you murmured unconsciously, it was your heart speaking. "Time had only seem to make her more gorgeous" you said and only then you noticed that your brother was suddenly silent and when you turned to face him he had that mischievous grin.
"So you do like her, Y/N" he grinned. “I thought that for a time but I never thought it was truth”
"No!" You rushed to said feeling your face blushing. "We're just good friends" you lied.
"Good" he smiled "Then I guess it won’t bother you if I make a move" he teased.
"You're becoming a Jedi, Anakin. Love is forbidden isn't it?" He was going to answer you but you cut him off "Good thing I'm not a Jedi." You mocked "Now if you excuse me” you told him already walking out the cockpit “The Senator may be feeling lonely, I’m going to make her some company"
“No, I am going to keep her company” Anakin said “It’s my mission to protect her.”
“It’s my mission to escort her and also this is my ship” you told him. “And again, I’m a good friend of hers, we’re close, Ani” you said with a smirk.
"Close" you told him looking over your shoulder satisfied with the effect of your words on him, he seemed absolutely not happy with you. He followed in silence down the hall to the main room of the ship, he was plotting something you could tell, you knew your brother just too well so you were not surprised when he playfully pushed you, just like the old times in Tatooine when you two used to race.
“It’s that how it’s going to be, huh?” you chuckled and pushed back, rushing down the hall laughing. Anakin hurried to pass you, moving you out off his way when he reached you sending you to the closest wall “Seriously?” you said recovering fast from the small hit.
“Somethings never change, I’m still faster than you” he said slowing down for a moment.
“You’re still a cheater, that’s what you are, Anakin” you told him and rushed again but this time down a different hall, you knew the faster way to the main room, it was your ship after all. “I won!” you yelled just when he was arriving.
“No you didn’t!” he chuckled “I let you win, Y/N”
“What are you two doing?” a melodious voice asked surprising you, as a reflex both turned your head to find Padme standing in the other side of the room. She had changed clothes and was now in a delightful new dress.
“Nothing” Anakin and you said at unison making a sweet laugh fell from Padme’s lips.
“You’re such children” she told you.
“I can assure you, I’ve grown up” Anakin declared “I’m a gentleman now, Padme”
“A gentleman who slammed his sister to the wall to win a race” Padme said in serious like she used to do in the Senate “Yes, a gentleman indeed, Ani”
You smiled at Padme and she winked at you while Anakin seemed to be rather embarrassed.
“Captain Y/N, can I talk to you a for a moment” she said still in the serious tone and yet smiling playfully at you.
“I’m at your service, Senator” you gave her the same professional tone and a small bow with the head before you followed her leaving Anakin alone and pissed once again.
Padme was the one to start talking once she was sure your brother wasn’t following you.
“I’m really glad to see you, Y/N” she told you kindly “It’s been a long time since the last time I saw you, how many years had passed?” she told you with a smile as you walked through the ship and stopped in front of a big window.
“Eight years” you murmured.
“It’s a lot to catch up then” she chuckled.
“It certainly is” you chuckled too “After Naboo, life was an odyssey. It’s a bit strange to think we will be there in a few hours, had it changed? I mean, Naboo.”
You caught a nostalgic smile curving her lips.
“Not much, not since you left” she told you. “You could have stayed, you know?”
After the battle in Naboo you hoped to get training like your brother, unfortunately the Jedi council stated you were far too old to join them. You seemed lost for a moment not exactly knowing where to go or what to do now but Padme was kind enough to accept you in her court making you a lady in waiting. You learned manners and formalities at the same time Captain Panaka taught you more about piloting and fighting. It was a good life, calm but monotone, the only thing that was keeping you there was Padme. You got the chance to see her every day, to make her laugh while walking through the palace you would have stayed forever just for her but you left.
“I know, I thought about it but… I belong in the stars, you know me Padme” you told her giving her a wink.
“Always glancing at the stars” she gave you a warm smile “I have to confess” Padme said with a bit of sadness on her tone “I was heartbroken when you left, Y/N” she told you sincerely. She thought for a moment before finally speaking again. “Tell me something, please be honest”
“Would you have stayed if I had asked you?”
You took her hand and sftly guided it to your lips pressing a soft kiss on her knuckles, a simple way to show her your affection you used to do back when you were her lady in waiting.
“Of course” you murmured “You mean the galaxy to me, Padme. I should have told you a long time ago.” you confessed making a soft pink painted her cheeks as the most marvelous smile lighted her face.
Doubting she leaned close to you, her hazel eyes focused on your lips. Taking all the courage in you you closed the distance pressing a short but pleasant kiss on her delicate lips. She smiled briefly before pulling you into a new kiss forgetting for an instant about the world around you, it was a voice what made you two get back to reality.
"Y/N, where are you?" Anakin's voice rumbled through the ship. "You have to land this thing"
Breaking away Padme and you shared an annoyed glance.
"I'm going to kill him" you joked.
"Same boy from the desert" Padme murmured with a small laugh.
You gave her a loving stare as you keep holding her hand. You felt home again having her on your life after all this time.
"I'm going to land if you don't come here, Y/N" your brother yelled.
"Don't touch my ship, Anakin!" You yelled back making Padme laugh.
"And same lovely girl from the desert too" she told you caressing your cheekbone for a moment. "You should go, he's not my favorite pilot" she said.
"He's going to crash my ship" you agreed.
Reluctantly you left Padme's side to go to the cockpit. Looking over your shoulder you gave her a last smile and a complicit look. Once Anakin said that Padme was an angel, as a pilot you had seen those angels, he was wrong, there was no beauty in the galaxy to compare with hers.
