a jedi's laughter | luke skywalker

You were the only one who could make Luke laugh amidst his burdens and his regrets. Your friendship had spanned both of your lives; you were the only one who could help him see through the grief of his mistakes, even if only for a moment.

His laugh was like a thunderous echoing, but it wasn't startling as mother nature's blundering power usually was. It was sweet and rich, like the music you remember hearing so long ago when you were younger and less burdened with the weight of regrets; when you both were. When you could both dance and share your days in ecstasy. Before the tragedy. Before his nephew fell into Darkness and forsook the Light.

Before the First Order.

Smiles spread across both of your lips like a wildfire as his laughter resonated, altering the worn and wearied landscape of your aging faces. Luke couldn't deny that your presence made his heart surge with hope and relief; he had missed you desperately. He had loved you since before the fall of the Empire ages ago, when your hearts were free and your minds empty of their woes.

He could almost forget his mistakes, his shame, as he looked at you.
