    I seem to be on an Ani/Padme kick. :) Here's a little vignette I wrote. I hope you enjoy! :) Er, I live on feedback. ;)

    Disclaimer: Star Wars belongs to GL.

    ********************

    They lived on secret glances.

    For a better part of a year they saw each other only in passing. Obi-Wan and Anakin seemed to become one of the Council?s favorite pairs to send on off-world missions, often preventing the newly weds from even being on the same planet. Padmé could count on one hand the times they?d actually touched, and even then it was just the brush of a hand or a friendly handshake.

    They met most often in the Chancellor?s office, so much so that Padmé began to look forward to those summons from Palpatine with a happy, hopeful anticipation when once she had sighed in annoyance. But even when the top Jedi and the Chancellor?s personal council were gathered into that one room, it was hard for them to express their love. They could do nothing that might possibly give away their secret. Anakin touched her hand lightly whenever he could, and he always sent her amused, suggestive glances whenever Obi-Wan had turned away.

    Padmé was suffering from this separation, her loneliness even more acute because she had no one to confide in. The last she had heard from Anakin ? three weeks ago ? had been a short holo telling her that he was about to embark on another mission off-world. He hadn?t said where he was going, or how long he would be gone, leaving Padmé to play the message over and over again, staring wistfully at her husband?s miniature blue form and wondering when she would see him again.

    Now, lying in her bed after a long, tedious day, Padmé?s thoughts were drifting to Anakin. She wondered where he was, what he was doing, and ? most importantly ? whether he was thinking of her.

    She lay awake, her mind?s eye perusing his strong, smooth face, imaging herself running her hands through his hair. It was something she never would have allowed herself to indulge in a year ago. Then she would have firmly pushed him out of her mind and turned her thoughts toward political matters. But now that she had admitted that she loved him, after marrying him and dedicating her life to him, such a luxury was permitted.

    If she lay quietly enough, she could her him whispering her name over and over again.

    ?Padmé.?

    Padmé?s eyes snapped open, her mind leaping from her dream world at the sound of her name. She pushed herself off the bed into a sitting position and smiled as she opened her arms to her husband.

    ?Anakin,? she whispered.

    In the pale light she could hardly see him, a dark shape by the door. He moved to her side, sitting on the edge of her bed and encircling her waist with his strong arms. Burying her face in his neck, her fingers twisted his Padawan braid affectionately. He planted soft kisses on her cheek, her neck, his hands buried in her hair. Padmé relaxed into his arms, feeling that she could just melt into him. She could barely believe that he was here, that he had managed to sneak away from Obi-Wan to see her.

    After a few minutes they parted slightly, still clasped in each other?s arms but far apart enough to look each other in the eyes.

    ?What are you doing here?? Padmé asked, smiling.

    Anakin grinned back. ?That?s a nice way to greet your husband.?

    ?Well of course I?m happy to see you,? Padmé said quickly, raising her hand to his cheek. ?But?? She almost asked if he was going to get into trouble for his subterfuge, but she checked herself. She knew, with an embarrassed pleasure that tinted her cheeks pink, that Anakin didn?t worry about rules or getting into trouble when it came to her.

    ?How long are you back for?? she asked instead.

    He bent down and kissed her, softly, quickly. ?I don?t know. The Council sends out many Jedi these days. The Temple feels empty. There are more threats to the Republic now that the war-?

    Padmé laid a finger against his lips. ?Shh,? she said softly. ?I have a rule, my dear husband, which you must learn. Wh

    Very nice work, Tae. Sorry i didnt see this sooner (im hardly ever on these boards).

    I can see them having that much trouble, trying to be together. The Clone Wars certainly wont help things. It was a cute peak into what they have when they ARE together.
