Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

Rey had felt just enough of a draft this morning that she'd gotten up into the rafters for a little bit of maintenance on the hole they'd patched last year. You know, from when a boulder had gone through it. This was how Rey realized that some things in Fandom sounded weirder more time away you had from them.

If you needed her, you'd have to look up. Way up. And she might ask you to toss her the duct tape from there. Not because she couldn't just levitate it up, or even because she needed it, but because it could be fun.

"Rey?" Anakin called out, coming into the warehouse.

[thatwaslucky]

"Up here," she called, still looking at the work she was doing.

He'd be no fun to ask to get the duct tape. Too easy.

"Just doing some maintenance."

[sith_happened]

"Did you throw something else through the roof?" Anakin asked, craning his neck.

[thatwaslucky]

"That's more of a you thing," she pointed out. "I felt a draft, just wanted to reinforce it."

[sith_happened]

"If you want a giant sentient boulder again, I can get you one," Anakin teased.

[thatwaslucky]

"No, thank you!" she called, because you never knew if he'd actually do it! "It should only take... twenty minutes? A boulder is much more time-intensive."

[sith_happened]

"But so much more fun," Anakin wheedled.

[thatwaslucky]

"For one of us," she pointed out.

It was kind of fun for her. Less so fixing it.

[sith_happened]

"Well, yes, but I'd be having fun, so that's really all I care about," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey fixed him with A Look.

[sith_happened]

Anakin grinned back up at her. "What?"

[thatwaslucky]

"I care about a lot more than that!"

Constantly making her be the spoilsport.

[sith_happened]

Anakin grinned. "I know you do."

[thatwaslucky]

"I hate that I have to be the responsible one."

She didn't.

[sith_happened]

"You don't always," Anakin pointed out, smiling.

[thatwaslucky]

"True," she said. "But when it comes to boulders through my roof..."

[sith_happened]

"That might be a reasonable boundary," Anakin admitted.

[thatwaslucky]

"Thank you." That was all it took! "How was your we- two weeks?"

[sith_happened]

"Busy," Anakin said with a rueful smile. "The kids brought home the flu, then passed it to Rory."

Such sharing! So nice!

[thatwaslucky]

"Oh. I guess I should be glad I wasn't around?" Rey asked, fastening something into place.

[sith_happened]

"I didn't get sick," Anakin said, "but everyone else was."

[thatwaslucky]

"That's very lucky for you," Rey told him.

Imagine him with the flu.

[sith_happened]

Whiniest Skywalker ever in a really tight field!

"It was," Anakin agreed.

[thatwaslucky]

"Did I miss anything else?" she called.

[sith_happened]

"Not that I can think of," Anakin admitted. "How was your time...indisposed?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Weirdly good," she said, sounding amused as she started cleaning up. "I was incredibly spoiled."

[sith_happened]

"As a cat, that's nothing less than your due," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey floated the supplies to the ground and said, "I had a throne made of blankets in case I was cold for even a second."

She loved it. It was bad that she'd loved it, right?

[sith_happened]

"I kind of want that now," Anakin admitted.

[thatwaslucky]

With everything else safely down, she hopped down from the rafters, landing easily.

"I'm not sure why he was so worried," she admitted. "I had fur. Though I appreciate it."

[sith_happened]

"You should see if you can get a human sized version," Anakin said with a nod.

[thatwaslucky]

"I am not nearly that bad."

She paused.

"And he'd probably do it."

[sith_happened]

"Get me one instead," Anakin said. "I can sit in a little furry throne and teach you."

Absolutely not, Anakin.

[thatwaslucky]

"I am not having my boyfriend make you a human cat throne."

Making her be not fun again!

[sith_happened]

"You are no fun at all," Anakin decided unfairly.

[thatwaslucky]

"But next time you're a cat," she said, "I could maybe make you a slightly smaller one."

[sith_happened]

"Yes, please," Anakin said.
