I Can't Deny It Anymore

Axle's POV

I woke up to the sound of a soft sound of an owl. My heavy eyelids slowly opened as they stared up at the ceiling. I saw the owl sitting on one of the supports looking down at us. It then spread its wings and flew around the room. Then the majestic creature flew out of the doorway and into the sky.

Ahsoka lifted her head a little and hovered it over my face. Nothing moved but our eyes. Our warm breath slowly blew the sweat off our faces. Ahsoka moved her lips left and right, teasing me. A thin blanket laid on top of us, but gave no warmth. Ahsoka moved her right leg to rub against my waist. She finally stopped teasing me and moved her lips to meet mine.

She stopped and looked into my eyes, "Axle, what if....what if we didn't go back. Most of the Republic believes that we're dead. And we've broken the Jedi code. They won't accept us anymore." I said nothing as she continued, "If we didn't go back, we could be free. We could do whatever we want with no penalty of the Jedi code." I sighed, "Ahsoka, as much as I want to be free from these rules, we still have a duty to what we believe in. As Commanders in the GAR we have to take responsibility for our jobs." She looked down and took in a large breath. I stroke her montrals, "Don't get me wrong I love being with you. It feels right that we're together. But, we just can't leave right now." "You're right. But if we do go back, we might never get to feel like this again." She answered. I sighed again, "That's a risk we have to take. I promise you once the war is over that we can be like this again. We can leave all of it behind if you want. But for now, we have a job to do and that's to get back in the fight." She stuttered a bit and I saw a small tear develop, "Don't......make a girl a promise you can't keep."

I stood on top of the giant wall looking out in the forest like I did a few days ago. Bandages wrapped around my torso. I still had the scars from the blaster bolts on my chest and back. It felt easier to breath with my ribs back in place, but it would still take time to heal. My legs felt weak and my mind was full of conflict. I have to kill the dragon if we're going to get out of here. But, there was something different about it. I felt a small connection with the creature. I was still confused on how a Krayt Dragon got onto this planet. As far as I knew, Krayt Dragons were only found on desert planets like Tatooine.

My mind still went crazy over my emotions. I still couldn't believe Ahsoka and I fell for each other. I always saw her as an amazing person and her looks stood out to me. I was taught about teenage hormones, but this.....this was way WAY more intense then what was explained. I feel this uncontrollable pull that's strong as hell. It's just too much for me to ignore. I can't deny it anymore. I'm in love with Ahsoka.
