He didn't have to wait very long.

Rory, puffy-eyed and pale, made her way into the clearing wearing last night's clothes.

"Hi. Sorry for sleeping."

"Don't be sorry," Anakin said quickly. "You needed the rest."

"I didn't want to miss anything," she said apologetically. "You should've woken me."

She looked around the clearing. "I'm not going to be able to come here for awhile," she said hollowly, as though she was stating a simple fact.

Anakin bit his lip and gestured at the tree. "Don't suppose this will help things much, huh?"

Rory took a deep breath.

"No, of course not," she said softly. "You're you."

emo_padawan August 29 2006, 22:19:38 UTC

Anakin squeezed her fingers but didn't say anything.

"Ignore me. I'm being selfish," Rory mumbled, staring at her feet.

"You're being human," Anakin said quietly. "Don't apologize for it."

"Mwahaha," Rory said half-heartedly.

emo_padawan August 30 2006, 00:07:08 UTC

Anakin tilted his head down to kiss her. "I love you. For as long as I live, I will continue to love you. And nothing will stop that."

auroryborealis August 30 2006, 00:10:03 UTC

Rory bit her lip hard.

"You've made me a better person," she whispered. "I'm changed because of you. You've had more of an impact in eight months than most people who've known me for years."

emo_padawan August 30 2006, 00:31:11 UTC

Anakin's eyes filled up with tears again. "You've made me a better man," he said, "which will make me a better Jedi. There aren't words to explain how much you mean to me."

"It's called that here," she said unnecessarily. "Offically and everything. Astronomers have to call it that now."

emo_padawan August 30 2006, 01:58:51 UTC

Anakin smiled. "I love that," he said.

auroryborealis August 30 2006, 02:07:37 UTC

"So do I," she murmured. "I'll think about you when I see it. And when I don't. And when I'm eating, especially with sticks. And when I play fetch with Vladdie. And when it snows. And when I'm in the shower." She smiled a little at that. "And when I'm just about to go to sleep."

emo_padawan August 30 2006, 15:55:13 UTC

Anakin smiled back, eyes shining. "And I'll think of you when I'm flying, or making a new lightsaber, or practicing with glitter, or learning a new language, or drinking caf." He reached out to touch her cheek. "And when I'm just about to go to sleep."

"Those are both mine, too," Rory reminded him softly.

emo_padawan August 30 2006, 18:22:36 UTC

"I'm not supposed to have anything that's just mine, anyway," Anakin said, leaning his head against hers. "I'd much rather share."

auroryborealis August 30 2006, 18:29:14 UTC

Rory pulled his arms around her. "I know something you don't have to share."

emo_padawan August 30 2006, 18:36:35 UTC

Anakin rested his cheek against her hair. "What's that?"
