Secrets in the Sand: A Luxsoka Story

Summary:

After escaping from Death Watch, Lux and Ahsoka made the decision not to return to the Separatists or the Republic. Instead, with R2 in tow, they head for the planet Tatooine where they hope to live a somewhat peaceful life together.

For two years, they lived on the desert planet completely undisturbed by the war. Ahsoka found work at a cantina/store/garage called The Claim at one of the oases while Lux got a job on one of the moister farms. They've gotten married; set up house in one of the abandoned homesteads; traded with the Jawas; and made friends with the merchants, moister farmers, and bounty hunters (an a band of Sand People) that are just trying to get by like them.

But nothing escapes the Empire for long and soon an Imperial Grand Moff comes to the small, out-of-the-way planet looking to tax the people and make a deal with the Hutts to exploit the merchants and moister farmers. Now Ahsoka and Lux fear that their past may be discovered and that Ahsoka's identity as a former Jedi (as well as the identities of two others) will be reviled. But what can they and their friends do to protect themselves from the Galactic Empire?

Chapter Text

Ahsoka couldn't believe the mess that Lux had gotten them into. They were on Carlac in the middle of a Death Watch camp. She knew that Lux was looking for revenge after Count Dooku had his mother killed but she knew that Death Watch was dangerous; she had heard the stories from both Obi-Wan and Duchess Satine. Fortunately, Death Watch had no idea she was a Jedi; they thought she was Lux's betrothed.
She paced around the tent she was sharing with Lux for the night. It was a request Lux made to keep her safe. She looked uneasily at the only bed in the tent. It would be very difficult to share without getting extremely close, something Ahsoka was forbidden to do as a Jedi. Still, she'd be lying to herself if she didn't admit that she had thought about it before; she was sixteen after all. She'd also be lying to herself if she didn't admit that she was more than a little attracted to Lux. She also knew that Lux was attracted to her and she didn't need the Force to figure it out.
She heard the sound of the tent flap moving aside and soon felt Lux's presents. She turned to look at him.
"I know," Lux said. "You're mad at me. I don't have to be a Jedi to figure that out."
"We have to get out of here," Ahsoka said. "Death Watch can't be trusted."
"We can't leave. The camp is too well guarded. We're stuck here, at least for tonight."
Ahsoka went back to pacing around the tent. She was trying to center herself and come up with a plan to get them out of this mess. But she couldn't concentrate. Her desire for Lux was growing and distracting her and she could sense his growing desire for her. When she looked up, she found herself standing right in front of him. They both wanted each other and they knew it. They also knew that this could be their only chance to act on their feelings.
I shouldn't be doing this, Ahsoka thought as she and Lux began to kiss and move their hands over each other's bodies. It's forbidden. But it feels so good. And no one will know. One night as a normal teenage girl with the boy I love, that's all I want.

◇◇◇

The ship Ahsoka, Lux, and R2 took to Carlac speed away from the planet. Ahsoka leaned back in the pilot's chair and breathed a sigh of relief. Death Watch wouldn't follow them.
"We did it," Lux said from the co-pilot seat. "We got away from them."
"We did," Ahsoka said. "It was close though."
"We make a pretty good team."
Lux rose and helped her out of her seat and the two stood there looking into each other's eyes.
"Come with me," Lux said. "I'm going to the Outer Rim to try and start over and, after what we shared last night, I want you to come with me if you want to."
Before Ahsoka could answer, a familiar voice came over her com link.
"Ahsoka," said Anakin. "Where have you been? Are you on your way back to the temple?"
She was torn. Part of her wanted to stay with Lux but another part of her wanted to return to the temple and she had no idea which one to choose. Suddenly she felt something through the Force and a smile spread across her face.
"I'm sorry, Master," she said into her com link, "but I won't be coming back."
She turned off her com link just as Lux pressed his lips to hers. She knew she wasn't going to regret her choice. She loved Lux with every fiber of her being and knew that he loved her.
"Lux," she said between kisses, "I have to tell you something."
"What?" he asked still kissing her.
She pulled back slightly and looked into his eyes. Love radiated from him like heat from a sun.
"I'm 99% sure that we're going to have a baby."
