Ye olde shuttle parking [morning]

[sith_happened]

There was less than a week until Rory left.

Anakin was trying not to panic.

This...wasn't really working.

Which was why a slightly important part of the shuttle was in pieces around him as he tinkered around, his shirts and robe in a neatly folded pile on the shuttle ramp.

[OOC: For Rory and I totally didn't forget it was Monday omg for reelz.]

Anakin arched an eyebrow as he stood up. "Please?" he prompted.

"Please," she added, rolling her eyes.

"You're welcome," he singsonged on his way to the galley, returned a few minutes later with caf and pastries.

He gave her a shy smile. "I wanted to make this trip a little memorable," he admitted.

"You didn't have to," Rory said, her cheeks flaming up.

"It's not like I strung up lights in the rec room," he said quietly. "It's breakfast. We're friends and you're leaving."

His voice almost didn't shake at that. He was very proud of himself. "I can spoil you a little."

She smiled. "I guess I can let you, just this one time."

Anakin gave her the small plate. On it were flaky croissant-y things covered in chocolate and colored sprinkles.

"I drew the line at glitter," he said quietly, looking a little nervous.

"Sprinkles are edible glitter, anyway," she said softly, grinning.

Anakin smiled back, eyes shining, before sitting down in his chair and cradling his mug of caf between his hands. "So what's the plan for Sunday?" he asked.

"Leaving in the evening. I drive up to Stars Hollow, sleep, then hang out there with Mom and Luke and Bucky for a week before heading to Yale," she said, carefully breaking off a piece of pastry.

"And you'll call?" Anakin said, trying not to be panicky. It was beginning to hit him that he'd never lived in a Fandom without Rory.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Yes," she promised quietly. "And you will too."

[sith_happened]

He nodded, then bit his lip. "If you want...I can fix your phone again. So you can see a little me? I promise that an ornery Jedi Master won't stomp on my comlink ever again."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

She grinned. "If you want to."

[sith_happened]

"I do," he said, giving her another not-strictly-friends-type smile and biting back a "what will I do without you?" wail.

"My roommates are so going to think I'm weird."

[sith_happened]

"Tell them it's the latest upgrade and how sad it must be to be them and so out of date," Anakin said, taking a sip from his mug.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"That'll work until they try to get one," she pointed out.

[sith_happened]

He smiled. "Tell them you know a guy." He held out his hand. "I can do it right now. We won't be at the nebula for another ten minutes."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory handed her phone over. "I'll be careful with it, too."

[sith_happened]

"Good," Anakin said softly. "Because I don't here from you, I'm be up looking. History isn't repeating itself here."

He was a litttttttle concerned, yeah.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Don't call when I'm in class," she suggested.

[sith_happened]

Anakin reached into his pouch for his portable tool kit. "I know the difference between please leave a message and call not completed," he said a little sullenly. "I'm not that obsessed."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I'm just saying," she said, shrugging.

[sith_happened]

Anakin dropped his head. "Correction taken," he said softly.
