Anakin and Y/n came back from their business trip on Saturday morning. They parted their ways when the cab arrived to Anakin's house, then it was supposed to drop Y/n off. Anakin took his luggage out of the trunk and made his way to the house. Once he opened the door he was tackled to the ground by Luke and Leia.

-You're back! - grinned Luke, while Leia hugged him around the neck.

-Yes, finally. - sighed Anakin.

-We missed you. - muttered Leia.

-I did too. - smiled Anakin and squeezed hus kids in his arms. - Now come on, I need to rest a bit.

They got up from the ground and went in the house. Shmi was at the stove, making breakfast. She turned around and hugged her son.

-How was your flight? - she asked.

-Not bad, though Y/n was panicking every time the turbulence appeared. - sighed Anakin.

-Who's Y/n? - asked Shmi.

-He's my... - Anakin hesitated. Who was Y/n to him really? -...colleague from work.

-Who has an awesome car! - added Luke.

Shmi smiled and nodded at the information. She served the breakfast to her son and grandkids before she joined them at the table. Anakin ate quickly and asked his mother to stay a bit longer and watch over Luke and Leia while he was taking the nap after the long travel. He thanked her and made his way to his bedroom.

He laid down, but his body refused to sleep. Instead his brain recalled the moment in the cafe from the day earlier. When the waitress said they looked like a couple. He felt his heart skip a beat, just like yesterday. He couldn't stop thinking about it. What also stayed in his mind was Y/n's sad smile.

-What am I supposed to do? - he whispered to himself.

Instead of forgetting his feelings towards Y/n he wanted him even more. The fact that Luke and Leia liked him wasn't helping. His heart ached for Y/n and his brain was running out of rational arguments against having the official relationship with him.

-I'm so confused. - he whispered and looked at the picture of him and Pandme on his nightstand. - What should I do? - he asked, hoping for an answer. He knew he wouldn't get any though.

Time skip

The weekend passed calmly. On Monday Anakin came to work as usual. He made coffee for him and Y/n, and waited until he showed up in the office. He arrived few minutes later.

-Sorry, I couldn't start my car. - he said.

-It's fine, your coffee should still be hot. - answered Anakin.

-Just like you.- muttered Y/n silently, hoping Anakin wouldn't hear him.

-I heard that. - he said.

-Fuck. - answered Y/n. For some reason it made Anakin chuckle. He decided to continue that.

-Y/n - said Anakin, feeling anxious about what he wanted to ask about. - I had some time to think lately... I even talked about it with my kids... - Y/n turned his attention fully to Anakin. He grew curious. - I want you to go out with me.

-Is that a dream or something? - he asked.

-No. - Anakin shook his head. - I want to give us a try.

-Then I definitely go out with you. - smirked Y/n. - And do all I can to not to kiss you right now.

-Fair enough. - answered Anakin smiling.

-You officially made my Monday better. - said Y/n.

-Pleasure is all mine. - answered Anakin, smirking.

Neither of them wanted to get to work but they had to do it finally. The day passed on occasional teasing and flirting, mixes with the things related to work. The atmosphere between them changed a lot and Anakin wouldn't want it any other way. To the point where he actually regretted not giving in sooner. He felt wonderful, so... alive.

-Sugar, what do you want for lunch? - asked Y/n, making Anakin blush. He wasn't prepared for pet names yet.

-W-whatever you choose will be fine. - he answered with a small shutter that didn't get unnoticed by Y/n.

-Cute. - Y/n muttered as he called the Chinese restaurant.

-I'm not cute. - he muttered back.

-Right, you're adorable. - chuckled Y/n.

-Shut up.
