Angstober Day 13

From Childhood

Spoiler: This is an excerpt from Favorless

But something is wrong, and his master is still away to some political meeting, and Anakin doesn’t want to be alone.

The only other one here is Threepio, and Sidious had him shut off a month ago.

He – he came with Anakin when Maul took him from Tatooine, and he’s all Anakin has had since, except his master.

But… Sidious isn’t here now. It isn’t like he’d know if it was for just a few minutes, right?

Sidious is his master. He raised him. He – he took care of him, and Anakin shouldn’t do something that he told him not to, either. It’s – it’s complicated, because he’s terrified to be stuck here alone right now.

The place – Sidious’  mansion on Naboo– is too big. It’s too quiet, and it feels like something’s coming.

It was his fault, really, not Threepio’s, and he still doesn’t think it’s fair to leave him off for so long. Not that he dares push the matter with Sidious though, so he doesn’t order the droid dismantled altogether. Anakin had been the idiot who thought giving the droid a lightsaber was a good idea, anyway. He shouldn’t have – if someone came and saw lightsaber marks inside Palpatine’s home, it would incriminate them both. He could’ve gotten them killed or – or something, and it was an accident, but that doesn’t make it okay.

He misses Threepio, and he wants to talk to him again, even if it’s only for a few minutes.

He –

Doesn’t want to be stuck here alone.

Something’s wrong.

Something’s happening, and Anakin is used to being absorbed in his mechanical madness – he likes building and fixing things, and it’s good at distracting – when he’s not learning. It helps, but not right now.

Something’s wrong, and it’s itching and burning inside him, and he can’t keep ignoring it.

Sidious would be so angry if he knew, but he… doesn’t have to? Not if Anakin’s fast and careful. The meeting wasn’t supposed to be over for another hour or so. He waits a little longer, until the silence starts grating on him beyond the point of ignoring, and he finally stands, tossing aside the tools he was using to fix the ship he was working on. Sidious hates it when Anakin gets grease all over his clothes, but he’s only ever been used to fixing machines, and he can’t imagine doing anything else

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself

[lazylittledragon]

i will never listen to anyone saying that being a child/teenager is the best years of your life because when you're 22 you can just decide you want cookies and then in like 25 minutes you have cookies. could a child do that i think not

Prompt:

Oliver Queen and Bruce Wayne are childhood best friends.

Green Arrow hates Batman’s guts.

That animosity— and his aim to subtly piss Batman off at every turn— results in Green Arrow and Red Hood collaborating on a trafficking bust.

This somehow results in discovering that the Red Hood is his best friend’s supposedly dead son.

Oliver doesn’t know how he’s going to fix this, with Jason refusing to want anything to do with either Bruce or the Batman of Gotham (who everyone knows is dating the former)… but one thing’s for sure:

He needs to bring the kid home. Oliver can’t bear to watch Bruce suffer any longer when the cause for it is sitting at his kitchen table, alive, and stuffing his face with waffles.
