The Hair Knight
Jerek laugh deepened at the girl’s goofy face, but she was right. He did want to see his girlfriend in her swimsuit.
What guy wouldn’t?
Allya was self-conscious about her body, but Jerek struggled to understand why. She had a well-built physique that illustrated her physical prowess with only her bare arms and legs, and as she removed her top, the teen could see that her torso displayed even more evidence of that. Jerek had never been in a duel or brawl with his girlfriend, but now he was curious at how that would end. He already knew how powerful she was in the Force, his wide eyes were discovering how much more powerful she could be overall. Why that was attractive to him, the Jedi youth didn’t know.
He did know that his girlfriend was embarrassed about the scars that crisscrossed her back, evidence of some horror that she had never divulged to him. For Jerek, they didn’t do anything to diminish Allya’s beauty, and her shyness was cute rather than irritating. Lust and attraction were supposed to be dangers to a Jedi, but after feeling them for himself, the padawan couldn’t fathom why. He loved watching his girlfriend strip down to the yellow bikini she wore, standing brightly against the darkness of her skin, showing off her athletic feminine body. If the masters teaching him back on Ossus had looked like this, Jerek would have had far more cause to pay attention.
”Hey, that’s not fair!” he called behind her, as Allya launched herself towards the water with a taunting finger and words. Jerek raced to catch up. Resisting the urge to dip into the Force for an extra bit of speed. He would let her win this race, after all he had won their last one. He didn’t slow as he approached Allya in the water, leaning down a little and reaching out his arms to scoop her into them. Now Jerek dipped into the Force to give himself some more speed, rushing deeper into the water until he couldn’t touch ground anymore and Allya was floating out of his arms.
He laughed at his own antics as he tread water next to her, ”Caught ya.”
Taking a breath of air, Jerek dove under the water and swam a little ways, feeling the water as it flowed over his body. It was freeing, this movement through the water, even if it felt more sluggish than on land somehow. But unlike on land, the teen wasn’t tethered here, he felt like nothing was holding him down or keeping him in place. Here in the water, all three dimensions were open to him again, without the petty limits of gravity. His starfighter allowed him a similar freedom, but this was lightyears beyond that. This was pure joy.
Jerek popped back up above the surface farther out from shore, using his hands to wipe back the water and hair that clung to his face, and rub out his eyes so he could see something other than the blurry world that lurked under the water. He looked around for Allya, and spied the shore as he did, noting that more people had arrived to their beach party, and a few were still trickling in. He was glad to have more teenagers here, he missed being around kids his age since joining the Jedi Aces years ago.
There were even a few who looked distinctly outside that age bracket, like Micah and his sand castle. The itch to build one himself grew stronger, something he would have to do later. For now, he had other things to occupy him.
Like where Allya had gone.
