In modern Jedi, does qui comfort obi about his perants thinking he was crazy? Obi needs a hug
Stirring the honey into the tea, Qui-Gon smiled softly as he heard
the sniffles behind him, chuckling softly when a warm body curled
into him with arms slipping around his waist, a cheek coming to rest
between his shoulder blades. “Good morning my love.” He murmured
quietly, turning his head enough to look over his shoulder.
He meet the red rimmed
eyes of Obi-Wan, the other snuffling quietly before he croaked out
something that could have been a good morning in return.
The man was wearing
Qui-Gon’s morning robe, the old but still warm blue thing dragging
a bit on the ground, the large sleeves rucked up around his elbows
when he reached around to hug Qui-Gon.
It was an endearing sight
despite Obi-Wan being ill and with a soft noise, he turned around so
he could pull the other into a tight hug, pressing his nose into
Obi-Wan’s hair while rubbing down the others back. “I was going
to bring breakfast to bed, but since you’re here, want to have it
on the couch?” He offered quietly.
Obi-Wan simply nodded,
sniffling lightly again before grunting.
Smiling in sympathy,
Qui-Gon pressed a quick kiss to the others forehead before calmly
shooing him of, watching the other shuffle to the comfortable leather
couch, the redhead instantly making himself comfortable with blankets
and pillows before tugging over the tissues on the coffee table to
blow his nose.
Wincing in sympathy,
Qui-Gon turned and grabbed one of the trays from the cupboard,
quickly piling on their tea, the porridge, a small bowl of honey in
case Obi-Wan wanted to sweeten it some more, the cinnamon and of
course, a banana and an apple.
Obi-Wan always had fruits
in the morning if he could and a banana would be doable despite
Obi-Wan’s sore throat.
After a moment of
consideration, Qui-Gon grabbed the pitcher of water from the fridge
too and some empty glasses, hoping he could get Obi-Wan to drink some
more fluids but he wouldn’t force the other.
But hopefully he’d drink
the lemon and ginger tea with honey in it, it would help his cold.
Bringing in the tray,
Qui-Gon set it down quickly as it was rather heavy and gave the other
a gentle cheek stroke before plying him with the food and tea,
Obi-Wan letting out a grateful noise before cuddling up against
Qui-Gon with the bowl of porridge, slowly spooning it into his mouth.
He visibly struggled
swallowing and Qui-Gon pressed a kiss to the others temple.
He got a meek smile in
response.
Originally, they hadn’t
intended to move as fast as they currently were, wanting to take it
slow and move into a relationship at a reasonable pace despite
already knowing each other so well but well…
When Qui-Gon had visited
Obi-Wan only to find the man sick and trying to hold a one way
conversation with his Earth father about having found Qui-Gon and
Anakin, that he wasn’t crazy only for the man to groan and wonder
if Obi-Wan needed to go on medication again…
Well, it made Qui-Gon
aware of how tolerant his own parents had been to the concept of an
alternative life.
He wasn’t sure how
welcome Obi-Wan was with his own parents right now but that was
alright, Qui-Gon was there for him, as was Anakin, who after a call,
had showed up with what Qui-Gon had learned were once clones but now
was a big family of very looking alike people.
Rex and Cody lead the
charge of moving all of Obi-Wan’s stuff to Qui-Gon’s apartment,
the guest room now occupied by said redhead as they weren’t quite
ready to share a bed just yet but sharing a couch was very
comfortable and Qui-Gon hadn’t realized how alone in his own
apartment he sometimes felt.
Another month of this and
he might have adopted a shelter animal most likely.
Picking up the tea,
Qui-Gon gently encouraged the other to take a sip, smiling when
Obi-Wan paused eating long enough to take two big sip of the
sweetened liquid. “It will be alright darling. I’m not going
anywhere.” He murmured, feeling Obi-Wan suppress a cough. ‘Except
maybe to the pharmacy for some more cough syrup and some
decongestant. Where is Force healing when you really need it.’ He
mused, smiling sympathetically when Obi-Wan gave him a bedraggled,
tired look.
Saying nothing, Qui-Gon
simply pulled Obi-Wan more into his warm side and continued eating
his own porridge, the two falling into a mostly quiet but comfortable
atmosphere only broken by the occasional sniffle and cough as the
world outside hurried to work and chores, the town bustling with
life.
