I sighed softly as I sat at my throne, looking out the window. The Jedi were to be here at any moment and even if I was ready and prepared, with my guards on either side of my throne and my handmaidens clustered together to the side, I was a bit annoyed with this. I didn't understand the need for there to be so much security for me over just a threat. I hoped we could get this over with as soon as possible.

"Princess (Y/L/N), the Jedi have arrived." A guard from outside called

"Bring them in." I told him as I sat up on my seat, fixing my hair

In came the two Jedi I was expecting and I smiled softly. These must be the Qui-Gon Jihn and Obi Wan Kenobi that were to stay here to protect me.

They stood a few feet away from my throne and bowed," An honor to meet you, Your Majesty." The older one smiled up at me

I smiled softly as I stood up and went to them," I resent the fact that we have to meet like this but the threats have increased and everyone but me believes that the Jedi are the best way to protect myself."

Qui-Gon took my hand in his and brought it up for a soft kiss, smiling at me. I turned to the man beside him who couldn't be any much older than I was.

"You must be Obi-Wan Kenobi." I smiled at him

The man blushed," Yes, I am. A pleasure meeting you, Princess (Y/L/N)." He brought my hand up for a kiss that lingered longer than Qui-Gon's which made me giggle softly

"We are the best protection there is for you, Your Majesty." Qui-Gon nodded," I'll be investigating the case while my Padawan will be staying with you to protect you."

I smiled," I trust that you will find the perpetrator and bring him to justice?"

"You have my word, Your Majesty."

I thanked him and he bid me goodbye as he began his investigation. I turned to Obi Wan who was already staring at me.

"Maybe you could tell me more about yourself, since we'll be seeing each other a lot." I smiled at him

It was a few days later and I would spend almost all of my time with Obi Wan which I had now nicknamed him Ben. This morning, we had breakfast together which made me smile, seeing how adorably sleepy the Padawan Jedi was in the morning.

"Would you like to join me for a walk, Ben?" I smiled at him as we finished breakfast

"Of course, Your Majesty." Obi Wan smiled as we walked out of the dining room, my handmaidens giggling and winking at me

"Tell me about you being a Jedi, Ben. It must be amazing." I heard many many stories about the heroics of the Jedi and now that I had one right next to me, I couldn't pass up the opportunity in asking him

The Padawan smiled and talked about his experiences and the many journeys he's been on with his Master. I listened to him, enjoying every story he could tell me until he landed on the topic of the Jedi code.

"You are not allowed to love?" I asked him, frowning as he told me this, not understanding why this rule was in the code

Obi Wan nodded, looking over at me," It is forbidden to form attachments, to find love, to express passion for another."

"That must be absurd. Everyone should find someone to love. That is how we live."

"The Jedi only seek to create a balance between peace and serenity in the galaxy. If we form attachments, it might provoke our judgement and we must always have a clear mind."

"Do you have a clear mind, Ben?" I looked over his rugged facial features, bringing my hand up to fix his hair for a moment

He watched me intently," I do not."

I was taken aback at this but smiled to myself," Why not?" I hummed as I walked over to the balcony, looking over my beautiful garden of flowers

"A woman." He said, standing where he still was, looking over my backside and watching as I looked over my garden while I tried to avoid smiling any larger

"How would you know that she's the one clouding your mind?" I turned back at him with a soft smile as we continued walking together

"She's all I can ever think about, every moment of the day. She has a large effect on me."  Obi Wan smiled down at me

"That sounds pleasant. Thinking about someone you love." I hummed

"It would be pleasant if I didn't have the code restricting me from being able to act on my emotions."

"Rules are meant to be broken at times, Ben." I smiled shyly up at him who blushed and looked away

Later that evening, as I was getting ready for bed and brushing through my long hair, I thought about what Obi Wan had said earlier. He loved a woman. I loved him but I wouldn't want to force him into breaking his Jedi code.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a knock on the door to my bedroom. I put my brush down and went to the door, opening it and smiling when I saw Obi Wan.

"Hi, Ben. Are you alright?" I noticed that he wouldn't look at me straight in the eye

"Um.. yeah? I believe so. Can I come in?" He asked nervously

"Of course." I smiled as I stood aside to let him pass through and closed the door before turning my attention back to him

The Jedi was pacing around and looked like he was troubled with something," What's wrong, Ben?" I asked softly, walking to him and holding his arms so that he could stand still

He closed his eyes and sighed softly, not wanting to say anything. He couldn't. She was too much for him.

"Please tell me, Ben. I can help with whatever is troubling you."

Obi Wan opened his eyes and looked down at me before wrapping his arms around my small waist and kissing me passionately. I was surprised at first but I kissed him back, in awe with how soft his lips were.

"You're troubling me." He sighed in frustration as he pulled away," I'm trying not to but I have you in my head every second of the day. I'm infatuated with you."

I looked up at him and smiled softly, bringing my hands up to caress his cheek and the other to rub my fingers through his hair.

"I'm here for you, Ben." I whispered and smiled as he leaned into my touch, closing his eyes

"My Master returns in two cycles (two days) and all I want is to have you with me." Obi Wan sighed, leaning down to press our foreheads together

"Then I will be with you until Qui-Gon returns." I smiled softly, pressing our lips together in a loving kiss

He smiled and picked me up in his arms as we continued kissing, carrying me to my bed.

The morning after, I woke up to Obi Wan beside me, sound asleep. I smiled fondly, cuddling closer to him and wrapping the duvet around my nude body tighter. Obi Wan woke up to the movement and he yawned, looking over at me with his eyes so full of love.

He smiled and leaned down to kiss me," Good morning, beautiful."

I kissed him back and sighed happily," Good morning, handsome."

We basked in the simplicity of the moment, knowing that this was probably our only time to express our love for one another.
