Hotel room of some handwavey number. The one with Rory in it. [afternoon]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was wiped out. The feeling of foreboding he'd had for the last few days hadn't gone away and was not being helped at all by adding a hangover and a hefty dose of portal-lag into the mix.

Nothing was going to keep him from the wedding, though. He let himself into the room and wondered if he'd be able to catch a nap before the rehearsal.

Not likely, considering the wide-awake and chipper Rory that bounced out of the bathroom, the shower going and a long red dress hanging on the back of the door. "Hey, you!"

[sith_happened]

"Hi," Anakin said, smiling softly and dropping his bag on the floor with a thump before wrapping his arms around her. "Missed you."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Missed you, too," she murmured, going up on her toes to cling all the better.

[sith_happened]

Anakin cradled her head against his chest and held on tightly. He couldn't put his finger on what was making him so uneasy, and promises about letting go aside, he felt better knowing Rory was all right.

"How was the bachelor party?" she asked, trying to see if she could smell strippers.

[sith_happened]

"Fine," Anakin said, nudging his nose against hers. "Nothing for you to worry about."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Good," she said, "but if you did go see naked ladies, I would forgive you."

Just in case.

[sith_happened]

"Now you tell me," Anakin said laughing softly. "I didn't, love. I have you."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

She smiled. "Good. How was it other than the non-nudity?"

"I won at the roulette wheel," Anakin said proudly, "so I upgraded your anniversary gift a little."

He pulled a distinctive blue box from the pouch around his waist.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Her eyes went wide. "...that's from Tiffany."

[sith_happened]

"I got you more than the box," Anakin said with a small smile.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

She opened it, eyes going bigger. "Ohh."

[sith_happened]

Anakin smiled wider. "I thought it might look nice against a red dress."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Anakin, this is....wow," she murmured, staring and finally breaking into a giant grin.

[sith_happened]

"Happy anniversary, my love," he said, stroking her cheek.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," she said, moving in for a kiss.

[sith_happened]

Anakin pulled her closer, nipping a bit at her lower lip. "You're welcome."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"So, how badly do you want a shower?" she murmured, tugging on his tabards and moving a little back towards the bathroom. "Because I'm steaming my dress, so it's already nice and warm...."

[sith_happened]

Anakin moaned softly and followed along. "You make a compelling argument," he said.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I try. And I'm also trying to get rid of excess energy. Think you're up to it?" she asked, going onto her toes to kiss his neck as soon as they reached the bathroom.

[sith_happened]

"Silly question," Anakin said, pulling off his shirts.

Something inked and black peeked out from the top of his waistband.

And of course she noticed. "...oh my god, you got a tattoo."

[sith_happened]

Anakin gave her a small smile. "Yeah."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You got a tattoo," she breathed, moving back enough to trace her fingertips along it.
