"Come on, Snips. If you manage to keep — and remember to use — both your sabers this time, you get — something. Whether you win the spar or not," Anakin says, raising both eyebrows at her and spinning his own lightsaber one-handedly in that way that makes her insides twist — not because it's a particularly complicated thing to do, it's just that he always looks so — so flippant when he does it, so arrogant, and Ahsoka finds it stupidly hot because she's wrong in the head that way.
She doesn't ask Anakin to specify whether "something" is his weekly meat ration or a shift off from bridge duty; she knows already what she wants, and she lets the promise of it keep her focused, lets it lengthen her reach, deepen her connection to the Force, heighten her awareness of Anakin and herself.
And when she's got Anakin pinned to the mats with her knees on his shoulders and her sabers each at one side of his neck and Anakin is laughing delightedly up at her, Ahsoka takes only a moment to pant and savor her win before saying, "Come on, Skyguy. You have a bet to pay."
