Atton is outside, training.

He has a dozen or so floating targets, like dartboards, zipping around him very quickly and firing stun bolts down at him from tiny holes at the sides. It's very obvious that he cobbled them together from various machines.

He's blindfolded, and he's alternating between throwing knives at them with one hand and shooting them with another, while dodging the stun bolts. Judging by the bright, chirpy green flashes and the heavy blaster scoring and multiple knife marks on and immediately around the bullseye, he's doing quite well.

He may be grinning from ear to ear, because it's reassuring to know that he's not helpless without the Force.

Angrily, "I don't know!"

"What about a future, Atton?" He sighs, looking away. "I really want a family someday. I want something permanent. Don't you?"

"Haven't you ever thought about it?"

Because Gavin has, and he's even younger than Atton.

"Asyr and I -- we were going to start a family, Atton. I've thought about it a lot."

Gavin rolls his eyes. That's not his Asyr. That's a woman that doesn't even know him.

"Then stop surviving and start living."

He shakes his head. "That's not even the point, Atton. How can we ever plan anything if we're always going to live in two separate worlds?"

"See?!" He's close to shouting. "This is exactly my point. We don't have anything but love."

And maybe it just turns out that love isn't enough anymore.

Gavin doesn't look much better himself right now.

"Then why meet my parents? Why should I even bother telling them about you if they never will meet you?"

Because he's finally figured out the truth. It's not that he is ashamed of anything. It's that he doesn't want to give them yet another uncertainty in their lives.

Gavin's taken a keen interest in his feet. Quietly, "I just sort of want a future back home as well."

Family is family. And the most important thing in the galaxy if you as Gavin.

"No."

[identity profile] jawaswag.livejournal.com 2007-12-22 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
He shrugs. "I'm just being selfish. Sorry."

[identity profile] jawaswag.livejournal.com 2007-12-22 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Another shrug. "I want you to be good enough though."
