I’m on Coruscant for the farce that is the Imperial Senate, knowing how precarious my position is as I work secretly with the Rebellion. I’m told that there is a new prisoner, thrown in jail without a trial for treason and dissent, and I can’t help but want to see him with my own eyes. To see if he’s truly figured out the evils of the Empire.

“If I had have known you were out here in the cold, well, I would have been here sooner.”

[haveyourmoments]

“I wanted you to be comfortable,” I say, looking up at him. “I have enough to share.”

[going_solo]

“I’m not sure I deserve that,” I say softly.

[haveyourmoments]

“You deserve as much as anyone else,” I say. “You might even be owed a couple.”

[going_solo]

I smile faintly.

“I’m sorry I snapped.”

[haveyourmoments]

“It’s alright,” I say, hugging myself tighter. It’s then that I realize I’m still wrapped up in his jacket and I blush. “Sorry, I should give this back…”

[going_solo]

"You can keep it until you warm up," I offer.

[haveyourmoments]

“Thank you,” I say shyly, looking away. I’m not sure why his presence makes me blush, but it does.

[going_solo]

I nod, then, sitting down on the bench beside and looking across at her.

[haveyourmoments]

“What’re you thinking?” I ask, not used to being stared at so openly.

[going_solo]

“That I really do want to teach you to fly,” I say, and there’s no pretense in my tone.

[haveyourmoments]

“You do?” I ask, studying him. I’d love to do anything that lets me spend more time with him, but I’d also love to learn to fly.

[going_solo]

“I do,” I say, and I’m not sure what it is about her, beside her obvious beauty.

[haveyourmoments]

“I would love that,” I say sincerely, giving him a smile.

[going_solo]

“Then it’s a plan,” I say, smiling at her, relieved the discomfort from earlier seems to have faded.

[haveyourmoments]

“We’re just going to have to borrow a ship,” I say with a soft laugh.

[going_solo]

“Well, about that…” I say, a little sheepish.

[haveyourmoments]

“What about it?” I ask, curling my legs underneath of me and staring at him.

[going_solo]

“I have a ship, a good ship, it’s just not currently in my possession,” I explain.

[haveyourmoments]

“Whose possession is it in?” I ask, curiously.

[going_solo]

“An old friend, let’s put it that way,” I answer, even more sheepish.

[haveyourmoments]

“Well, we’ll have to get it back then,” I smile, reaching to squeeze his wrist gently.

[going_solo]

“You up for another adventure, huh?” I ask, and I’m smiling.

[haveyourmoments]

“As long as it’s with you,” I say boldly, bravely, looking him in the eyes.

[going_solo]

I want to kiss her so badly, then, but instead I find myself biting my tongue, thinking it's too soon, and locking my eyes on hers. "Then we'll go."
