      he’s not dumb to what’s steadily mounting , can feel it as much in the air as he can through the binding force of their bond . a soft grunt , more of relief than anything , thumbs brush circles across her hipbones and then path higher to press between the cleft of her shoulders , pulling her closer , he needs her CLOSER . atton never does anything half-assed     –  and patience has never been his particular brand of virtue  –     but he’s SLOW to progress this , tentative and hesitant , like if he moves too fast , too much , the moment will dissipate . he’s already lost SO MUCH to his own selfish compulsions , burned holes into every facet of his pretty pathetic excuse for a life . not her too , never her too

      he can count every lash fanned around her eyes, the short wisps of auburn that frame her face as he cranes forward , guided by her fingers against his cheek , eyes heady , lidded . she’s the one to initiate and then just like their sparring match —— SHE WINS .the second their lips meet he knows they’ve crossed the divide of something GREATER and invisible  –  months of stolen glances and tension fueled banter coming to a long awaited head and there’s no going back , hell he doesn’t WANT to . knees press fervent against her sides , cradling her between his legs as he opens his mouth to her , prompts her lips to do the same . if this turns out to be just ANOTHER one of their routine , cursory flirtations he thinks he might throw himself out the airlock .

        and then just as inevitably as the impulse of their kiss , the MAGNITUDE of what they’re doing hits . he withdraws no more than a hair’s breath from her lips , barks a quick , uncertain laugh against her jaw .     ❝  alright ?   ❞     and he’s not sure if it’s assessing her or himself or their situation —– or if there’s really any meaning behind the word at all . kriffing hell , he wants to kiss her again .

            A proper JEDI would not have been in this situation, a PROPER Jedi would not have dove head first into the very threat her attraction played —- a PROPER JEDI wouldn’t have enjoyed how he touched her and how she could hear the very symphony his voice became. Tidreen had FALLEN, fallen from the orders she was supposed to uphold with pride and purity — she’d fallen for the very trick on the mind the heart could play, the very lure his eyes played. TIDREEN KNEW BETTER —— but she wasn’t the one to PULL. She’d CHASED.
           Needless to say, an astonishment found its way to weave into her veins, and it flickered her eerie green eyes to blink herself back into the REALITY their kiss had pull her from. The LAUGH is what sparks the fear within her chest, and suddenly, she could feel her heart banging against her ribcage ————- HAD SHE MADE A MISTAKE? “ ——- What?” A hand drifted from how it landed on the ground beside his head, one of her sabers sheathed within her grip,  and it let go of her WEAPON – for there was no use for it anymore, not with him. Fingers moved to land on the collar of his shirt, one of the very few layers they’d allowed to be the barriers of such DESIRE that shouldn’t have been there in the very first place. 
           “ ——- I – I’m sorry – I-I shouldn’t have.. DONE THAT.” She’d stammered, snapping to realization, eyes blinking for a long pause, as if it was going to wipe away what’d happened – how she wished for more. Her hand moved to her hair, brushing it from invading enough space she’d already done, and she let her teeth clamp onto her lip —- a punishment for its reckless actions. “I – uh, I should — “ What? What was she to do? She wouldn’t MOVE, oh, not without the fight her HEART posed. The redhead was drawn to him – STUCK
