Your scars are what make the you you are now
“And this one?”
Ahsoka had been trailing the various markings, the scars left behind my the life lived on her partner’s, Barriss’ body, the two lying naked on the bed, not in any hurry to do more than to get reacquainted with each other’s likes, wants and needs.
“Yeah, that one…her, it was the time when a snow tiger got it’s teeth onto me. I thought it was done for good.”
Barriss was thinking back to the horrid moment the large animal had attacked her on the snowy frozen planet all those years ago when living life by herself as the healer out there, in the wide galaxy while trying to pay for her, well, guess sins.
“You never were good with animals were you.” Ahsoka let out a chuckle.
“Nothing like you, you little lion tamer you!” Barriss chuckled too as she caressed Ahsoka, tickling her a bit too. “But that is what I loved about you, you know. Always so brave, taking on whatever was thrown your way.”
“Yeah, lions, tigers, tookas, banthas… you name it, I got them all to attack me.” Ahsoka sounded almost proud for animal’s trying to off her.
“Banthas!? You’ve got to be kidding me, right?”
“No, no, there was this one time one almost sat on me. Really trying to squish me to death.”
Barriss stared at Ahsoka intently, trying to read her.
“You are joking right? I mean you have to be. There is no way… that happened.”
Barriss was still getting the hang of this new Ahsoka, more mature, mellow, and yet carrying the weight of the galaxy on her shoulders. And yet the childlike humour had never really left her.
Ahsoka tried to keep a straight face on her, but soon enough, she burst into a wide grin and then started giggling.
“Gotcha!”
Barriss stared at her lover for a long spell, trying to keep her own straight face on. Alas the urge was way too strong. The urge, for attack! Tickle fight!
Barriss pounced on Ahsoka without warning, mercilessly tickling her, remembering which spots were especially sensitive. Those special spots, like under her lekku.
“Not fair Ris! You know how… easily I tickle there. Stop it!”
Ahsoka though, despite her initial objections, was enjoying the attention of her lover.
Barriss taking it easy on her, the tickling more like caressing in the end, just there, on the right spots. She in turn trailing down the scars on Ahsoka’s body with her finger, before kissing them all the way… down.
“Okay, now this… is certainly fair.”
Ahsoka relaxed, laying back down on the bed, letting her partner simply take control of her body. As this felt good, familiar and Ahsoka was loving every single moment.
“Really, very fair.”
