Kyber crystals – so does Sidious have a plan to try to capture Obi-Wan?

Suppressing
the desire to laugh like a maniac is rather hard when one is as
gleeful as Darth Sidious is at this moment, but he manages somehow,
to hide his desire to laugh behind a genial smile as he steepled his
hands together in a triangle and gives Skywalker a parting word as
the boy makes his way out.

And
still the Sith has to count to five before he drops back in his chair
and chuckles lowly under his breath, still leery should his secretary
hear him or if the dimwitted girl has allowed anyone too close to the
office door without informing Sidious.

‘A
Star child.’ The Sith can’t help but marvel, rubbing his hands
together as he his lips lift in a smile that has too many teeth to be
good.

His
intended apprentice, the chosen one himself and his former Jedi
master is a Star
Child.
A creation made by the very stars themselves and given a flesh and
bone shape that cried power!

Oh
it’s almost too good to be true, Sidious wants to laugh even more
because his victory will be all the more sweeter once operation
Knight Fall arrives.

That
only leaves him with a few questions.

To
grab the man now, or to wait.

Rubbing
his chin, Sidious turned his chair to peer out the large window
behind his desk, staring at the Jedi temple lit up in a halo of a
blood red setting sun before he starts smirking and inclining his
head ever so slightly. “For now you’re safe… enjoy your days in
the sun for as long as they last, for once you are mine…” Sidious
eyes sparked yellow in his reflection, his grin predatory on his old
face. “You will cry yourself empty
of kyber until you break and are mine.”
He chuckled

And
even better, once Kenobi was his, he could be used to ensure
Skywalker’s obidence, ensure his place at Sidious side.

Oh
he wasn’t stupid after all, Skywalker loved Kenobi with all his
heart.

Not
in a romantic way, oh no it was purely platonic that was clear with
Skywalker being a clingy little cuddler, something that would have to
be trained out of him of course. But he still adored the other man
with all his heart, would guard and protect him with everything he
had and if Sidious got his hands on him…

Well,
Skywalker would do anything to help him and yet as powerful as he
was, he would be helpless to help Kenobi.

The
delicious anger that would provoke, the spite and rage…

Oh
Sidious could already taste it on the tip of his tongue, the rage,
the despair and the pain.

Standing
as he stared at the temple as dusk finally started to appear at the
edge of the horizon, Sidious licked his lips with hunger.

He
couldn’t wait until Kenobi was firmly caught in his web, helpless,
friendless and tortured, only tears and darkness for him to give
Sidious what he desired.

‘Rest
well as long as you can Kenobi, your safety will be spoiled before
you know it.’ He sneered silently.

Green
eyes snapped open and Obi-Wan let out a slightly confused noise, half
sitting up on the couch to look around the quarters.

A
quick glance confirmed to him that both Ahsoka and Anakin were still
out, their boots not by the door mats just yet and Anakin’s
slippers were still by the door.

So
what had woken Obi-Wan?

Licking
his lips a bit, Obi-Wan glanced tiredly about the quarters and then
slowly laid back down, tugging the star pattered blanket around
himself again as he settled down to continue his nap as the healers
had recommended for him. And yet, even as proper darkness fell and
Obi-Wan should have an even easier time taking his nap, especially
with the sleeping aids the healers had given him, Obi-Wan found
himself unable.

His
eyelids were heavy and yet his mind seemed to scream at him that
something was wrong.

Something
dangerous was afoot.

Something..
illusive.

Unconsciously,
Obi-Wan shivered and tucked his hand around the little
bag tied to his belt where the
two pink kyber crystals he had cried during the council meeting were
held,
seeking warmth and comfort they
emitted to those in contact or using them.

And
yet he still could not find the rest or the comfort from before,
something cold settling in his bones.

In
the end, it was the drugs the healers had given him only hours
before, that finally dragged him back into an uneasy sleep as he
shifted fitfully around, the flashes of yellow eyes and lightning
appearing in his dreams that he wouldn’t remember when he woke up
to Anakin entering the quarters hours later, a tired and haggered
look on the blonds face that rapidly made Obi-Wan forget about his
own unease.

In
the end, Obi-Wan Kenobi’s number one priority would always be
Anakin Skywalker.

And
so the uneasy sleep was forgotten in favor of comforting a friend.

#thelightinus: Sidious tries to snare something from Obi-Wan again to use for his Sith Sorcery.

Blasted
karking leaking pus infected cocks!

Glaring
at his blackened hand, Sidious growled to himself before throwing
himself onto his couch to glare at the window while wiping his hand
on his outfit as he didn’t want to soil the couch since the latter
was harder to clean.

Every
time he tried to get his hand on something of Kenobi, it ended up
bursting into fire.

Either
the moment he held it in his grasp, when he infused it with the dark
side or the moment he initiated whatever ritual he required it for.

It
never failed and he was becoming rather perturbed
by it.

It
was as if the Force itself was working against Sidious and with a
growl he summoned one of the more expensive bottles of wine out of
his cabinet with a wave of his hand, pulling a glass after it a
moment later.

‘I
need to get something that won’t burn, something that is still
personal but won’t karking burn… his hair does not work, his
feathers all crumble in my grasp, the soiled bandages lit up like a
bonfire and Force knows the robe Dooku’s little acolyte managed to
get me didn’t work out.’ Sidious seethed with his own emotions.

Then
he paused, the rim of the glass against his lips.

Thinking
back to the blood soiled bandages… it was the fabric that lit up
now that he thought about it.

Little
traces of the feathers attached to the fabric along with the blood.

Kenobi’s
blood…

Maybe
if he could get his hands on the Jedi’s blood he would finally have
a proper ritual item but even more than that, blood could be so
useful.

‘I
still would have preferred the feathers to work, such soft, delicate
things, so
tightly entwined in his physical being that there would be no doubt
that it would work.’
Sidious narrowed his eyes at his blackened carpet, cursing
the pretty little things for once more causing him to need to replace
his carpet before he could allow visitors.

And
he knew that there was some damage control to do, he would need to
invite Skywalker the moment the boy was on Coruscant.

Blast
it, he should have been more careful but to have Kenobi at his
fingertips…

He
could still almost feel the fluttering of feathers, so close and
vibrant and his fingertips itched.

He
would have the other on his knees, he’d rip those wings apart,
Sidious would have Kenobi on his knees, chained and drained and made
into a vassal.

Brushing
his bared
hand
gently over the wings and scaring away the fireflies that had settled
in the already glowing appendages, Cody smiled faintly to himself as
he continued slowly brushing his hand along the warmth while
tucking his glove onto his belt.

The
glowing bugs took to their own wings and left the General’s alone
as the man smiled in bemusement at him. “They weren’t a bother
you know, I hardly even noticed they were in my wings and they
weren’t really all that gross.” He stated calmly, letting out a
soft noise when Cody settled beside him.

“They’re
pretty but I rather like your wings without anything in them…”
Cody murmured as he sat down on the little rocky outcropping with his
General, both of them now being able to observe the valley below them
full of animals coming and going to the waterhole.

Behind
them the 212th
and the 501st
were winding down, taking the precious moments of rest they were
allowed since the planet’s meteorite shower was interfering with
communications on all points, making it impossible to get mission
order or even locate any enemies on planet.

Glancing
up, Cody let out a thoughtful hum as he took in the flashes of lights
above them as he dared to place his hand down with his fingertips
brushing his General’s lightly, feeling the warmth of skin. “That’s
rather gorgeous a view huh.” He said thoughtfully, as if his heart
wasn’t nervously thumping in his chest, having not really had the
time before to just settle down and observe a meteorite shower from
below.

“I’d
say it is.” Obi-Wan stated fondly and when Cody glanced at him, he
found the Jedi looking at the clone commander with soft eyes, his
wings rustling softly.

Swallowing
heavily, Cody internally sent off a prayer and then shifted his hand
closer, grasping Obi-Wan’s warm, calloused hand in his own, feeling
little scars and dents in the skin.

Little
imperfections that were perfect against Cody’s own.

Instantly
Obi-Wan grasped Cody’s hand in return, cradling the trooper’s
caramel colored hand in his own pale one as they focused back up at
the sky.

After
a moment Obi-Wan’s wing settled around Cody’s shoulder, warming
him and shielding him as they remained sitting side by side, gazing
at the darkening
sky with a cool breeze brushing over their faces.

Vaderkins being gifted padawan Obi by his master?

Anakin
is bored.

Laying
on his back with his legs slung up over the back of the couch as he
reads the damn politics
book his master demands of him, Anakin is utterly bored but he dares
not slack in his reading because he knows that if Sidious figures out
that he has been lackluster, the old crow will punish him and it will
not be good.

Anakin
has seen the man’s former apprentice, Darth Maul’s metal leg is
still the whisper of many Sith apprentices when the zabrak is not
listening.

So
Anakin reads and tries to take in the details he knows he will be
quizzed on though why he needs to know all this he doesn’t know.

Anakin,
or Vader when he is a Sith on a mission, has the Force and is
superior to any slimy politician.

They
will listen or Anakin will choke them.

He’s
just about to give up when the door swishes open and Anakin hurries
to sit up properly and get to his feet because its Sidious in all his
wrinkly glory and Anakin bows quickly in respect while murmuring a
quiet master.

Sidious
surveys him with acidly yellow eyes for a moment before smirking. “I
see you are working hard my apprentice. And you have been doing
rather well for the last few months much to my very pleasant
surprise.” The man drawled.

Anakin
glanced up at him through his bangs, half curious and half wary of
what his master is up to now.

“So
I have decided to reward you apprentice,” Sidious stepped aside,
Anakin straightening in surprise as he sees the person behind his
master, a shorter person in a brown cloak and bare human feet, the
hood up. For a moment Anakin wonders if his master has gotten him a
slave of his own or a concubine. And then his jaw drops when Sidious
pushes the hood back with a flicker of his hand, showing a head full
of copper hair but more importantly, a thin braid trailing down below
the right ear to lay against the man’s neck and shoulder. A young
human male, not much older than Vader, a blindfold wrapped around his
eyes and a collar around his neck, shifting uncertainly. “Your very
own Jedi pet.” Sidious smirked at Anakin’s face.

“How…
where did you…” Anakin approached slowly, watching how the Jedi
shifted warily on his heels, clearly aware and afraid yet knowing
that he couldn’t escape. “I thought they were hiding?” He
finally got out, his voice choked.

“Oh
indeed,” Sidious chuckled darkly, also looking at the young Jedi.
“But sometimes we get lucky. With so few of them left, I figured I
would get you your own Jedi pet… but its up to you what you wish to
do with him.” Sidious shrugged before glaring at Anakin. “Do not
disappointment me Vader, do not let him escape.” He growled
quietly.

Fear
sizzled along Anakin’s spine for a moment before his eyes focused
back on the redhead standing shivering in the sun shining in through
the cold Coruscant winter day. “…That won’t be an issue
Master.” Anakin promised quietly, licking his lips a bit as a flash
of pale skin peeked out through the robe.

Sidious
just smirked and waved his hand, heading for the door. “The collar
is a Force inhibitor. Now, do not disappointment me young Vader,
there are still many trials to come.” And with that the Sith Lord
was gone, leaving Anakin with his new present.

His
very skittish, pretty present.

‘…They’re
all going to be so jealous, I have a Jedi.’
Anakin stared at the man, a hungry grin across his face as
he slowly moved closer to the Jedi as his eyes continued to trail the
little flashes of flesh and skin when
the robe fluttered.

He
want to bruise the other, but
a thought grabbed him by the back of the neck.

It
would be easy, so
easy to
hurt,
maim him, hold him down, take
him roughly and
eventually break him like he had seen others do to Jedi that had been
caught and caged.

But
Anakin wanted more, he wanted the other to curl into him and hide,
wanted him to seek out Anakin’s touch, a
permanent reminder of Darth Vader’s superiority.
‘What was that old adage? You get more flies with honey than
vinegar?’ Anakin licked his lips then reached up and carefully
undid the knot of the blindfold, ignoring the flinch of the Jedi as
green eyes squinted at the light and tried to hide the fear in the
Jedi.

Jedi.

Hi Moddy, I’d like to see more of the Obiwan caught the plague, and Vaderkin found him and took him home. Do they find a cure for him medically? Or does Vaderkin descend into sith alchemy? and does Vader use the easy access to Obiwans head to make their bond permanent?

“Lord
Vader, I feel I have to warn you once again that while this will cure
him, it may also permanently damage Master Kenobi.” Sidious eyes
were glowing maliciously inside the hood he usually wore now a days
and Anakin felt his lips twist in contempt.

“He’s
permanently damaged as it is. As long as what comes out of this is
still Obi-Wan, I will be satisfied.”

“Yes
the droids told me as much.” The man sat back, watching his
apprentice though Anakin knew he had far suppressed the other in
sheer power.

There
was a reason the other was slow to teach him what Anakin needed to
know.

After
all, Sith apprentices became proper lords once their masters were
gone.

“His
legs are fully crippled?” Sidious was almost gloating in his tone
and Anakin felt himself twist in rage.

Obi-Wan
would be proud of him to know he only narrowed his eyes in response.
“They lost much muscle mass, cybernetic may not help so yes.”

“You
could give up his legs, that could be the sacrifice in the alchemy.”

Anakin
wanted to tear out the tender spots of the mans throat but kept his
words barely behind his teeth. “There are other things to
sacrifice.”

“That
Kenobi would accept?”

“He
never needs to know.”

“If
you use someone else, you don’t think he’ll find out?” Sidious
cackled, sitting back in his throne. Anakin felt the hairs on the
back of his neck rise and knew with certainty that Sidious would
‘slip it’ to Obi-Wan.

“Obi-Wan
understands death row.”  He settled on slowly. “My method would
be more painless then even death row.”

The
two stared at each other.

“Touche
apprentice…”

()()

Obi-Wan?
It was easier to slide into the others mind now, almost too easy but
considering the bonds they had formed even in Obi-Wan’s passed out
state, that may not be so strange despite Obi-Wan’s now stronger
shields.

A
rousing humming greeting him as Obi-Wan’s conscious mind swam to
the surface, a wary ‘glance’ around as if to check for others
before he allowed Anakin to grasp him and bring him close. He’d
often wonder how it would look, would it be as if he was grasping the
real Obi-Wan, hugging him like he hadn’t done since he was a
youngling himself?

It
was a…nice image.

He’d
have to recreated it once Obi-Wan was out of the tank.

Its
just me. I wouldn’t let him near you.

He soothed the light in his arms, wondering if Obi-Wan couldn’t
manifest as a form in his own mind or was choosing not to.

Perhaps
a bit of both, it was Obi-Wan, he
could be petty at times or he just may not have the energy for it.

Cautions…what
did you want Anakin?

Obi-Wan’s voice vibrated with curiosity.

I
found a way to bring you out of the tank, but it has costs. Sith
alchemy.

Disgust
coiled in the light but Obi-Wan wasn’t outright denying him so
there was something at least.

You
should just let me go Anakin, I accepted my death when I discovered I
had the
plague of all things.

They
had this argument a few times and Anakin knew each and every word
they’d say. So he ignored it.

Your
legs are most likely ruined for life, the healers don’t think
cybernetic even can fix them at this point. But I was thinking I
could take a death ro-

There
was something flat in Obi-Wan’s light and Anakin had to bite in a
chuckle at the look the other must be sending him.

-You
are not using someone else to fuel my life.

Death
row Obi-Wan. Convicted pedophiles and murderers. Not a rebellion
agent, nothing like that but someone who hurt children like Leia and
Luke.-
Anakin coaxed.

And
there was the real argument between them, why Obi-Wan was still
there, why he himself just hadn’t let himself go into the Force.

The
twins.

Hesitation
curled into Obi-Wan’s light.

If
my legs are really that shoddy, I couldn’t protect them you know.

They
don’t need that. They need your love. I’ll give you a few days to
think about it Obi-Wan. You don’t need legs to hold them and love
them.-
He was about to pull out
to let the other think when the light that was Obi-Wan latched onto
him tight. –Obi-Wan?

…It
gets lonely in here…stay a little bit longer?

Delighted,
Anakin instantly curled himself around the light and gave it a nuzzle
in the best of words. –Anything for you.

A
relieved sigh echoed. –Thank you Anakin.

Your codywan story, the rise of wild wan, is wonderful, thank you, thank you for writing it!! And I’m very interested by the fact that when he had three minutes to himself, not anymore so tired, he deduced the truth. No we know why Palpatine pushed the Jedi so much! Could I ask what happen after that?

“Master Kenobi, what a…surprise.”
Palpatine eyed him from where he was standing in the doorway of his
own darkened office as Obi-Wan was perched on the desk as the Jedi
once again looked as he should, the very picture of a respectable
Jedi.

“Mmmn, I suppose it must be a
surprise.” Obi-Wan absently picked up a stylus from the desk and
wiggled it a bit. “But then again not much does surprise you does
it…Darth Sidious.” He smiled at the man, light of Coruscant the
only thing illuminating the two.

Palpatine stepped into the office and
closed it behind himself, locking it firmly even as Obi-Wan leaned
back on the desk, placing the hands behind him.

“So you know. I suspected as much.”
He drawled, eyes firmly on Obi-Wan’s relaxed form.

“Of course. A week of relaxing? Of
having a moment to myself? To THINK? You left to many clues behind
for me to find when I took a good look at Anakin. Speaking of which,
I could kill you where you stood for creeping on my padawan.”
Obi-Wan’s face got a pinched look.

A slow smirk curled the sith’s lips
as he watched him. “But you can’t.”

“I can’t.” Obi-Wan agreed. “You
positioned yourself well, the public feels with you in your difficult
position.” His lips curled. “While steadily turning against the
Jedi as you build your empire up around yourself.”

The Sith moved into the room slowly and
Obi-Wan stood, moving away to keep a distance between them.

“Such a clever man. I knew there was
a reason I kept you busy.” The man drawled. “It was foolish of
you to come here alone though.”

“If I told anyone else what I knew,
they would have gone to the Senate and you would have had a warning.”
Obi-Wan kept his eyes on the man. “After all, someone who can
organize a war on two sides and have them fight each other has to
have spies, even if Dooku acts as your front along with his
apprentices.”

Palpatine laughed, his voice low and
cruel as he followed Obi-Wan’s retreating form. “He is a good
cover, very charismatic and his funds as the count of Serenno is
nothing to laugh at though the Banking clans added fingers help
especially in ordering the clones.”

Obi-Wan’s face twitched a bit,
suddenly he had an answer to the creations of his men as he had not
thought it had come from Palpatine. “I’m still impressed he
answers to you, he is older then you and Yan Dooku has never been
known as someone who likes to take orders.” The Jedi hummed.

“But he is a man who respects power.”
Palpatine sneered a bit.

“So you admit it then, plotting a
war? This entire war? All to bring yourself to power over the galaxy
and bring the Jedi down?”

Palpatine laughed, his voice loud in
the darkened office. “Oh yes I do, the Jedi were even gullible
enough to agree to be Generals of all things and it worked out so
brilliantly in my favor. But who is ever going to learn it, you’re
certainly not going to tell anyone for you are not leaving this
office alive.”

But to his confusion Obi-Wan only
grinned back at him. “I don’t need to tell anyone. You just
have.” His green eyes flickered to the desk and Palpatine jerked
too, staring at it at a flickering light.

“…The emergency channel…” He
whispered.

“To every channel in Republic hands,
everyone on Coruscant can see you and this is being recorded for
prosperity. Best part of all is that I barely had to prompt you into
telling them. Say hello to your adoring public war monger.” Obi-Wan
grinned, the look almost vicious.

There was a thunderstruck moment, a
moment full of of the Force being filled with shock, rage and anger
and then Palpatine struck, Obi-Wan barely dodging the lighting
streaking across the office from the mans fingers.

“YOU WRETCHED WORM!” The Sith
snarled at him, visage contorted as he drew his saber.

Obi-Wan quickly did the same but kept
his distance from the man.

“I should have smothered you when I
had the chance.” He hissed, pursing Obi-Wan even as the Jedi
retreated from him.

“Should have, could have are things
of the past. What matters is that you didn’t!” Obi-Wan taunted
before barely managing to bring his saber up in time to parry the
others attack. He could only pray that Jedi were close enough to the
Senate Dome before he paid for his action with his life though he was
prepared for that too.

He yelled out in pain as the crimson
saber slashed at his hip and burned through his tunic before he could
dodge away. As the door suddenly slammed open Obi-Wan felt the saber
burn through his back, cutting through his spine as he fell to the
floor with another yell.

And then Mace was there, throwing
himself against Palpatine with Eeth Koth following behind him.

Obi-Wan gave a breathy little pained
laugh as he tried to pull himself out of the way, legs useless as Kit
knelt down by him.

“You utter idiot Kenobi.” The
Nautolan hissed at him even as he gave him a quick check.

“Go help them.” Obi-Wan hissed in
return, nodding to the furious fight Mace was leading against
Palpatine.

“Kark you.” Yet Kit listened to him
and jumped to his feet, lightsaber in hand.

Obi-Wan allowed himself to rest his
head on his arms, laughing quietly again to himself, for once his
plans worked out even if he had to pay the price. He would gladly pay
the price anyhow.

Your codywan story, the rise of wild wan, is wonderful, thank you, thank you for writing it!! And I’m very interested by the fact that when he had three minutes to himself, not anymore so tired, he deduced the truth. No we know why Palpatine pushed the Jedi so much! Could I ask what happen after that?

“Master Kenobi, what a…surprise.”
Palpatine eyed him from where he was standing in the doorway of his
own darkened office as Obi-Wan was perched on the desk as the Jedi
once again looked as he should, the very picture of a respectable
Jedi.

“Mmmn, I suppose it must be a
surprise.” Obi-Wan absently picked up a stylus from the desk and
wiggled it a bit. “But then again not much does surprise you does
it…Darth Sidious.” He smiled at the man, light of Coruscant the
only thing illuminating the two.

Palpatine stepped into the office and
closed it behind himself, locking it firmly even as Obi-Wan leaned
back on the desk, placing the hands behind him.

“So you know. I suspected as much.”
He drawled, eyes firmly on Obi-Wan’s relaxed form.

“Of course. A week of relaxing? Of
having a moment to myself? To THINK? You left to many clues behind
for me to find when I took a good look at Anakin. Speaking of which,
I could kill you where you stood for creeping on my padawan.”
Obi-Wan’s face got a pinched look.

A slow smirk curled the sith’s lips
as he watched him. “But you can’t.”

“I can’t.” Obi-Wan agreed. “You
positioned yourself well, the public feels with you in your difficult
position.” His lips curled. “While steadily turning against the
Jedi as you build your empire up around yourself.”

The Sith moved into the room slowly and
Obi-Wan stood, moving away to keep a distance between them.

“Such a clever man. I knew there was
a reason I kept you busy.” The man drawled. “It was foolish of
you to come here alone though.”

“If I told anyone else what I knew,
they would have gone to the Senate and you would have had a warning.”
Obi-Wan kept his eyes on the man. “After all, someone who can
organize a war on two sides and have them fight each other has to
have spies, even if Dooku acts as your front along with his
apprentices.”

Palpatine laughed, his voice low and
cruel as he followed Obi-Wan’s retreating form. “He is a good
cover, very charismatic and his funds as the count of Serenno is
nothing to laugh at though the Banking clans added fingers help
especially in ordering the clones.”

Obi-Wan’s face twitched a bit,
suddenly he had an answer to the creations of his men as he had not
thought it had come from Palpatine. “I’m still impressed he
answers to you, he is older then you and Yan Dooku has never been
known as someone who likes to take orders.” The Jedi hummed.

“But he is a man who respects power.”
Palpatine sneered a bit.

“So you admit it then, plotting a
war? This entire war? All to bring yourself to power over the galaxy
and bring the Jedi down?”

Palpatine laughed, his voice loud in
the darkened office. “Oh yes I do, the Jedi were even gullible

Can we have more of ruin researcher obi wan and palpatjne getting along (much to qui gons disgust) maybe with someone making a comment about it (and obi wans omega nature) and getting verbally reamed out by obi wan and the normally mild chancellor

Palpatine was utterly fascinated by
Obi-Wan.

That was very clear, the beta was
utterly fascinated by Obi-Wan and his knowledge and his tales and his
exploration and just…everything.

The omega still spent most of his time
in the temple, teaching and enjoying the gardens and spending time
with Plo and Kit and occasionally Anakin and Qui-Gon when they
managed to catch him in a good mood.

But a lot of his time was now also
spent with the Supreme Chancellor, with either Anakin or Qui-Gon
acting as his escort since Obi-Wan needed one to get back into the
temple without hassle. Anakin had admitted to Obi-Wan though that
Yoda had asked them as a personal favor to keep a look after Obi-Wan
because the old troll was worried about his health now that Obi-Wan
was hitting his seventh month.

It was the only reason Obi-Wan
tolerated their presence.

“You must forgive me, but are you
well Obi-Wan? Your pregnancy has progressed quite a bit.” Sheev
offered his arm to him, smiling when Obi-Wan took it with no
hesitation and leaned on the Chancellor for some support as they
walked together out to the speeder.

“Medically speaking I’m quite well
but the baby is havoc on my body control.” Obi-Wan snorted.

“Oh? Forgive me once again but may I
ask what the little one is doing?” Sheev chuckled.

“Tap dancing on my bladder for once.
I swear to Force, if I didn’t adore the little one already, I’d
be cursing them out at the same time.” Obi-Wan sighed while Sheev
laughed a bit louder.

Anakin wasn’t sure who in the
Chancellor’s entourage gave a low mutter about omegas belonging in
bedrooms and not socializing with the high.

Regardless he didn’t have a moment to
act on it as it was a derogatory comment when both Palpatine and
Obi-Wan stopped and turned, both sporting equally pinched looks with
Sheev instantly focusing on the culprit of the group.

“I see some of your employees has
archaic views on omegas.” Obi-Wan offered acidly.

“Yes, I was not aware of that.”
Sheev drawled, his face a carefully constructed mask to hide the
obvious displeasure he was feeling.

Anakin shifted as he felt the Force
darken with emotions and glanced at Obi-Wan, hoping the other
wouldn’t do something out of character.

“Hmm, I shall leave this matter to
you then?” Obi-Wan raised a brow, glancing at Sheev who gave a
sharp nod.

“Yes, I will have to speak to Mas
about the coming available posts I will be having…”

The words caused a few of Sheev’s
entourage to pale but Obi-Wan smiled, his smile all teeth and damn it
if he didn’t look like that when someone tried to argue with him,
especially Mace while Yoda cackled at the two.

Vindictive pleasure slid across
Anakin’s senses as Obi-Wan took Sheev’s arm again and let himself
be lead out to the speeder with the aides falling behind further in
an attempt to be inconspicuous. By the speeder the chancellor caught
his hand and pressed a kiss to the back of it. “Please, do visit
again, I’ll make sure the company is less…odious by then.”

Obi-Wan said nothing but gave him a
small smile, lips quirked in the corners before climbing into the
speeder and settling down, giving a low sigh as he rubbed his stomach
steadily.

Anakin, officially going from shocked
to a bit freaked out, jumped into the front and powered up the
speeder, giving the chancellor a nod before taking off with Obi-Wan.

There was quiet for a bit before
Obi-Wan started to chuckle in the back, Anakin glancing at him in the
mirror. “What?”

“Its almost funny how easily upset
you get. I’m not interested in Sheev nor will I ever be but he
treats me like a person and not as something fragile that belongs on
the bedroom or like a fucking incubator. So rest your head, you can
push those images out of your mind.” Obi-Wan sniggered to himself
and Anakin felt himself color.

“I’m…broadcasting.” He offered
in a resigned tone.

“Very hard too. If I didn’t know
better…” The other fell mute, the silence full of contemplation.
“Hmm. You’re either worried or you’re jealous. I can’t tell
which.”

“Jealous.” Anakin admitted. “I
like you, you’re…different, and I mean you’re different because
you’re not afraid to argue with anyone. I want your friendship but
I managed to kick everything off on the wrong foot and now I’m not
sure how to…” He sighed.

“Well admitting it is a good step.”
Obi-Wan snorted. “Just continue with that. Being honest with me and
treating me like a damn person Skywalker and we’ll see about being
friends.”

Anakin glanced at Obi-Wan again in the
mirror then smiled a bit. “Alright.
