FIC: One thing Jacen did with his twin that he knew he ought not (but did anyway)
Prompt from bodldops.
"We're not supposed to be down here," Jacen pointed out.
Jaina appeared to ignore him, carefully traversing the scattered rubble and building supplies to get to the good part of this service tunnel: the pile of broken machine components. But she projected something in the Force that sounded a lot like, Shut up, Jacen.
"Well, we're not."
"I know."
"I know you know."
"And I know you know I know!"
Jacen grinned.
Then tripped as his little brother tugged him none-too-gently over a rock.
"And we definitely shouldn't have brought Anakin," he added once he'd recovered his balance.
"There!" The seven-year-old pointed firmly at a circuit board that looked as dead as anything else in this tunnel. "I need that one."
Jaina looked at Jacen dubiously. Jacen shrugged and said, "At least he's not touching anything like we told him."
"Anakin, this one's broken."
Anakin's expression clearly said, duh. "I can fix it."
Jacen shook his head. "Just give him it and let's get out of here before they notice we're gone."
Anakin started smiling as Jaina handed him his new prize and said, absently, "Too late."
"...too late?"
"Threepio woke up."
"Well," Jacen said with another shrug at Jaina's alarmed look. "Guess we might as well keep exploring after all."
"You guys are gonna be in trouble," Anakin added in the same absent tone.
"We're gonna be in trouble?"
Anakin blinked innocently at Jaina. "I'm the baby."
Jacen sighed.
