Description
Anakin Skywalker was a goof. He was currently riding on the back of a wild Shaak, desperately trying to maintain his balance despite the creature's kicking and bucking. Cora could only laugh, her golden curls bouncing around her face. Anakin looked back at her, smiling, and she could feel her face go hot. The moment was ruined when Anakin's lack of focus caused the Shaak to buck him off and stampede over him. Cora felt the joy leave her body as he tried to get up, only to fall back to the ground. She rushed to his side, worried out of her mind for her best friend's safety. She touched his shoulders lightly, careful not to hurt him. "Ani," she whispered. She felt his chest move up and down rapidly, before he turned over laughing. Her face lit up with relief, then with irritation when she realized he had tricked her. "Anakin!" she scolded, playfully batting at his chest. Anakin blocked her movement, grabbing her hand and subsequently pulling her on top of him. He looked at her mischievously, before wrapping his arms around her waist and kicking his foot into the ground, rolling them both down the grassy hill. Cora giggled, having no choice but to wrap her arms around him tight. She laughed all the way down, Anakin laughing with her. When they settled at the bottom, the cackling continued until the pair ran out of breath. Cora was left in quite the incriminating position. As a Jedi, straddling your best friend while staring into his admittedly gorgeous eyes and desperately panting to catch your breath wasn't exactly... encouraged. Her breath hitched in her throat, her cheeks went red, and she opened her mouth to apologize. But Anakin beat her to it. "I love you." •••• anakinxoc tpm, aotc, tcw, rots+more!
