“Master?”

“Yes, Padawan?”

“I need to talk to you.”

“Is there a problem?”

“Well not really a problem . . . “

“Then what is it?”

“Master . . . I’m in love with you.”

“I see. You know that it is quite common for students to think that they are in love with their Masters. In fact I once thought that I was in love with my Master until he showed me that, yes I did love him, but not in the way that I thought. We were just so close and we were always on the move so much that I never had a chance to develop a crush on anybody else. I think that if you meditate on these feelings you’ll see it differently Padawan.”

“I already have Master. It is not a crush. I have thought this through and meditated on it many times. Each time I keep coming back to one thing.”

“That I have loved you from the moment I first saw you on Tatooine, inside the Queen’s ship. When you turned and looked at me I thought that ‘If Padme was an Angel then surely you must be a god.’ But then you turned around and ignored me and I don’t blame you. I was taking the attention of the most important person in your life. When Qui-Gon was killed, I was crushed. He was the closest thing to a father that I’d ever had. But I never even considered your feelings. I cried and cried and then you came to me. You hugged me and said that all would be well. And then you did something wonderful. You cried with me. You trusted me with your grief. That time, that gift was the most precious thing that anyone had ever given me. We cried together. You cradled me in your lap with you arms wrapped securely around me and I felt so safe. Everything felt so right. Then you kissed me on my cheek and told me to be strong and you went off to talk to the council. It was then that I revised my goals for life. One was to become a Jedi Knight. The other was to make it back into your arms Master. To kiss you and earn your love.”

“Anakin, You need not earn my love. It is yours to have,” his Master said as he held out his arms inviting his Padawan into his loving embrace.
