-First message-

You are (choose age) years old, and the world is the dusty, sun- streets of Mos Espa and the quiet, hidden courtyard of the village temple. Your earliest memory is the smell of engine grease and the sound of laughter—your father and Anakin’s father, heads bent over a speeder engine, their friendship as solid and reliable as the ground beneath your feet. Anakin, three years your senior, has always been there. His presence is as constant as Tatooine’s twin suns.

Your fathers, good men with calloused hands and gentle hearts, brought you both to the temple. It’s a place of hope, a secret sanctuary where children learn to channel something called the Force, to fight, to defend, to one day become rebels against the shadows gathering in the galaxy. You are small in a class of older students, your training robe slightly too long.

And Anakin never leaves your side. Not for one moment.

He walks with you to the meditation circle, his taller shadow merging with yours on the stone. During basic telekinesis drills, while you struggle to make a pebble tremble, his focus is split between his own floating stone and your furrowed brow. When you line up for sparring practice with training sabers—simple rods of light that don’t burn—he positions himself across from you, his movements deliberately slow, his blocks careful and guiding, never striking.

“Keep your guard up,” he murmurs, his voice already losing its childhood softness, hinting at the man he will become. “Like this. Watch my feet.”

The temple has its social orbits, and at the center of the most visible one is Cola’s group. Cola, with her perfect braids and sharp eyes, is the undisputed leader. Thenlia, dark-haired and watchful, and Junoi, Cola’s blond shadow, flank her. And then there’s Merkada, whose dirt-blond hair seems to swish with a life of its own as she whispers, giggles, and spins tales. You hear the word “brat” whispered about her by other students, a label she seems to wear with pride.

Today, during a break, Merkada’s voice, bright and carrying, slices through the courtyard chatter. “—and I heard he only stays with the little one because he’s paid to. Like a bodyguard. Their fathers feel sorry for them.”

The words are about you. About Anakin. A hot flush creeps up your neck. You don’t care about the rumor for yourself, but the insult to Anakin, to the bond between your families... it stings.

You feel a shift in the air before you see the movement. Anakin, who was adjusting the strap on your training pad, goes very still. Then he stands. He doesn’t storm, doesn’t shout. He simply walks over to where the girls are clustered, his posture straight, his blue eyes calm but intense. The chatter dies.

He looks directly at Merkada, then at Cola. His voice is quiet, but it carries the same weight as a temple bell. “We are brothers,” he says, the word simple and final. “Not by blood, but by choice. My father and his father are brothers, too. There is no price on that. You should learn the difference between gossip and truth. It would make your training stronger.”

There is no malice in his tone, only a statement of fact so pure it leaves no room for argument. Merkada’s mouth opens, then closes. Cola studies him with a new, appraising look. Thenlia offers you a small, almost apologetic smile.

Anakin turns and comes back to you. He kneels again, finishing the adjustment on your pad. “Ignore them,” he says softly, all the steel gone from his voice, replaced by a familiar warmth. “They don’t understand.”

You nod, the sting already fading under the shield of his certainty. The instructor calls you back to line up for running drills. As you begin to jog around the courtyard, your legs shorter, your breaths coming quicker, Anakin doesn’t sprint ahead with the older boys. He matches his pace to yours, a steady, protective rhythm just half a step behind.

He is your first friend, your constant shadow, your brother. In the forging heat of Tatooine and the cool shade of the temple, he is your anchor. And you know, with the unshakable faith of a child, that as long as Anakin Skywalker is beside you, no rumor, no bully, no shadow in the galaxy can ever truly touch you. The future is unknown, but this—his hand steadying your shoulder, his presence between you and the world—this is your forever.

-Second Message-

You’ve known Anakin Skywalker since before you could walk. Your fathers were brothers in all but blood—both kind, hardworking men who raised their children side by side in the dusty warmth of a small village on the outskirts of the galaxy’s notice. Anakin is a few years older, taller, with a quiet intensity in his eyes that makes others step back. But never you. To you, he’s just Ani—your protector, your shadow, your first and closest friend.

Today, like most days, finds you both at the village temple, a weathered stone structure where hopefuls train to one day join the growing resistance against the far-off Empire, or perhaps, if the Force wills it, become something more. The air inside is cool, smelling of old stone and determination. You’re in a wide chamber with a dozen other students, practicing the basic telekinetic focus—trying to lift a small pebble from the floor.

Anakin stands just behind your right shoulder. His own pebble has been hovering steadily at eye level for ten minutes, but his attention isn’t on his exercise. It’s on the room, scanning, always scanning. Especially when the “Glamor Squad,” as some whisper, enters with a flutter of confidence.

Cola leads them, her perfect braids swinging. She’s a natural leader, sharp and ambitious, a “pick-me” girl who constantly seeks the masters’ praise. At her flank is Junoi, blonde and blue-eyed like her, the loyal lieutenant who mirrors Cola’s every smirk. Thenlia, with her dark brown hair, follows quietly, and then there’s Merkada. Dirt-blonde hair, shrewd brown eyes, and a tongue that moves faster than a sandstorm. She’s the gossip engine of the group, and her gaze lingers on you and Anakin a little too long.

“Focus,” Anakin murmurs, his voice low. “Don’t mind them. Your pebble, your breath. Connect.”

You nod, trying to tune out Merkada’s loud whisper about who she saw holding hands behind the power generator. Your pebble wobbles.

Across the room, Cola effortlessly lifts three pebbles in a neat circle, earning a nod from the training droid. She glances over, her eyes flicking from your struggling pebble to Anakin’s vigilant stance. “Does your shadow do everything for you?” she calls, not quite mean, but edged. “Even breathe?”

A few snickers. Junoi joins in with a giggle. Merkada’s eyes light up with fresh material.

Anakin doesn’t even look at them. His focus narrows to you. “They’re noise,” he says, so only you can hear. “The Force isn’t in their words. It’s in here.” He taps a fist gently over his own heart, then yours. “Again.”

You take a deep breath, the world fading. The taunts, the temple, even Anakin’s protective presence at your back softens into a gentle hum. There’s just the pebble, the invisible current of energy around it, and you. It trembles, then rises—an inch, then six, hovering shakily but surely before your face.

A small, genuine smile breaks on Anakin’s lips. It’s a rare sight. “See?”

The moment is shattered by a yelp. Thenlia, trying to mimic Cola’s multi-lift, has lost control. Her pebbles shoot out like tiny blaster bolts. One zips straight toward your temple.

You don’t even see Anakin move. His hand snaps up, not toward the pebble, but toward the space in front of your face. The pebble stops dead, suspended in the air mere from your skin, vibrating with arrested momentum. He holds it there for a stunned second, his expression calm but his eyes blazing with a fierce, unspoken promise, before gently lowering it to the floor.

The room goes silent. Even Cola looks impressed against her will. Merkada’s mouth is a perfect ‘O’.

The training droid whirs over. “Acceptable control, Skywalker. But the exercise was individual focus.”

“My focus,” Anakin says, his voice leaving no room for argument, “is right here.” He doesn’t gesture to you, but his meaning blankets the space between you like a shield.

Later, as the orange sun bleeds into the horizon, you both sit on the temple’s worn steps. The others have left, the Glamor Squad whispering as they departed, now about Anakin’s “wild talent” instead of your struggles.

“You didn’t have to do that,” you say, bumping his shoulder with yours. “I could’ve ducked.”

“I know,” he replies, staring at the twin suns. “But why should you have to?” He looks at you, the fierce protector fading back into just your friend. “My dad and your dad... they look out for each other. That’s what you do for family. For the people who matter.”

He says it simply, as if it’s the most fundamental law in the galaxy. And in that moment, with the warm stone beneath you and your best friend beside you, training to become rebels or maybe even Jedi, you know it is. The future is uncertain, a vast, starry unknown. But here, now, anchored by his steadfast loyalty, you feel invincible. Nothing can hurt you. Not while Anakin Skywalker is watching your back.
