AOTC: Anakin Skywalker: Convince Padmé with emotions
From Create Your Own Story
Anakin Skywalker
Padmé is taken aback by your words. "Anakin, this is har..."
"Padmé, you have been pouring your feelings on me for 10 years. It is only fair that you hear mine for a fleeting moment."
She clearly does not know how to answer to that. She has an awkward look on her face, and you are unsure what she is thinking—you could probe her mind, but you are drowning in emotions you intend to pour out right now. She looks at her hands, twitching against one another ever so lightly on her lap. Her eyes don’t reach back to yours until you begin speaking.
"I did not know what to think of you when I first saw you," you begin, deeply engaged in your memories, head held high, eyes staring at the ceiling as if you could see the very stars. "If I were to tell you I felt something that day, you could simply say my memories are being deceived by time and imagination. But I dare say, I felt something that day. I felt something was... right. I do not know how else to explain it."
The Senator takes a long, yet light, breath and tilts her head a bit as she listens to you.
"I was but a boy. I hadn't ever felt drawn to a person as I did to you. I didn't know how to interpret that. I was also worried, about your future, that of Qui-Gon, Jar Jar, my mother... It was an overwhelming time. But as it were, I did not feel out of place when I decided to help you. Somehow, in some way, destiny was aligned."
Your robe waves as your arms stretch out to the air, trying to draw the thoughts projecting from your mind.
"But none of it prepared me for the bonding I'd have with you. It was not a regular bond of friendship, it was not even a bond of love. You cared for me from the very moment you first saw me in a way that no one ever did, and you had little to no reason to feel that way. You just did. And it showed. It showed in the way you looked, the way you spoke, the weight you put on your movements, the trembling in your voice... It spoke to me. It all awakened sensations in me that I neither understood nor knew how to handle. Drawn out of curiosity and bewilderment, I followed you, tried to understand you, to realize where this was coming from, to do... something!"
You have both hands outstretched to her, almost in a dramatic, theatrical way—filled with intent and emotion. You continue the unraveling:
"And, through this, I found the path my very life was meant to take. I joined the Jedi, I trained under scrutiny of the greatest Jedi masters of today, and against every expectation, every fear, and every exasperation of mine, I have thrived thus far, because, and only because, the thought of you gave me strength to follow this path. The farther I went from you, the stronger was the lingering sensation that I needed to thrive in my challenges, so I could one day return and find you, and have the power to shape these feelings, this... energy that flowed from you. I'm driven by a great many ideals, but no single power has lent me so much leverage as my memories of the connection I had with you, however brief it was."
You sit in front of her on the bed, knee touching hers, foot dangling off the bedside, slanting towards her.
"Everything I have done since the day I met you was influenced by the thoughts you provoked in me. I'm a mirror, Padmé, as much as I am an amplifier. Everything you threw at me, I threw back thrice fold. I love you, Padmé, because you love me, and this is not a simple love between man and woman, it is something universal—a cosmic calling. You feel it, and I feel it even more, ever stronger."
Drawn by the profoundness of your words, she barely notices your hand reaching out to her face until you touch her cheek, smudging a tear below her eye.
"Do you know how hard it has been to live with this stifled emotion for so long, without ever knowing whether I'd be able to one day tell you this? It is a burden I need to relieve." You hold her face with both your hands, "tell me you understand me, Padmé. Tell me you feel it too."
"Oh, Anakin... I feel it..."
And with this, she hugs you with extreme heartfelt love and tenderness—A link that only you two share, and no one else can hope to comprehend.
With a few delicate kisses, her tears of anguish are replaced for butterflies of anticipation in her stomach, and the moment you’ve been waiting for all your life finally comes.
