Mypainyourpain: SO CUTE but also for Qui-Gon to blush when Obi-Wan suggests sealing the bond, what is involved with it? Is it salacious? or is it just a kiss and Qui-Gon is shy?
Suppressing
his desire to laugh, Obi-Wan couldn’t resist his lips twitching at
the sight of his flushing master. “Are you embarrassed?” He
teased, his restrained laugh obvious in his voice.
Grumbling
a bit, Qui-Gon pulled one hand free from Obi-Wan’s grip so he could
rub the back of his neck with a small grimace. “Well excuse
me for resisting the desire to imagine kissing my padawan and
soulmate. I had to make some
barriers you know so no one could accuse me of indecency.” He
pointed out wryly, his lips turning into a sheepish grimace.
Chuckling,
feeling a tiny bit bad, Obi-Wan shuffled over while clinging to
Qui-Gon’s remaining hand. “So…”
He ventured, raising his brow.
Pausing,
Qui-Gon peered at him for a moment before chuckling softly. “So how
about you take charge for this hmm? I wouldn’t mind that too much.”
He murmured quietly, his blue eyes tender and expecting at the same
time.
Wallowing
heavily, shifting close enough to knock knees with the other man,
Obi-Wan nervously licked his suddenly too dry lips. “So just a
kiss, right?” Nodding,
Qui-Gon ducked his head down a bit.
‘I
can do this, I can totally do this.’ Obi-Wan swallowed and reached
up, cupping a bearded cheek, watching with wide eyes as Qui-Gon
leaned into the touch, allowed Obi-Wan to direct him with his touch
alone.
Was
his mind screaming a bit?
Well
maybe, but this was kinda big and Obi-Wan swallowed once more before
leaning in and pressing his lips to Qui-Gon’s for the first time.
Absurdly,
before his mind went blank, Obi-Wan’s last thought was how
Qui-Gon’s large ears were still red.
Firework
went off in his head at
the contact.
He
could feel Qui-Gon,
and only Qui-Gon.
The
scent of the others hair, beard and skin, the feel of his slightly
chapped lips against Obi-Wan’s, the way his beard lightly scratched
at his palm and face. And then the sensation of the
other filling his head to the brim, the beat of Qui-Gon’s heart in
his own chest and closing that gap in his own soul that he hadn’t
even felt, the pain that somehow escaped his notice.
“Tears,
Obi-Wan?” A low voice rasped and Obi-Wan’s eyes fluttered open,
only realizing then that he had closed them as the kiss progressed.
He
meet Qui-Gon’s worried eyes as one large thumb caressed under his
left eye, wiping away the tears the other had noticed.
Breathing
out shakily, Obi-Wan pushed into the touch as he swallowed, tried to
get his throat to work. “I didn’t… I didn’t know how empty
and cold I was… until you filled in the space.” He whispered,
laughing shakily before burying himself in Qui-Gon’s chest,
wrapping his arms around the large chest, listening to the beat of a
heart as strong arms wrapped around him.
“Oh
Obi-Wan… I didn’t know either, I can’t imagine how soul
withering must have… Obi-Wan, I’m so sorry for not realizing.”
He whispered, rubbing down the others back slowly and steadily.
Huffing
into the warm, musky scented clothes, Obi-Wan tightened his grip
around the other. “That wouldn’t have changed what needed to be
done, you couldn’t have… but thank you still.” He sniffled,
rubbing his cheek against the coarse grain of Qui-Gon’s tunic,
savoring the warmth, scent and closeness.
‘Was
I missing this without realizing that something was gone?’ Obi-Wan
couldn’t help but wonder if other soulmate pairs had it like this
or was it just him and his soul withering.
It
was painful honestly, how deeply it effected him.
‘But
it’s done now. I got the ‘cure’ so to speak.’ He relaxed,
raising his head and lifting his chin expectantly when he meet
Qui-Gon’s eyes.
Qui-Gon
raised a brow in question before chuckling when Obi-Wan pushed his
desire into the now fully sealed bond between them. “Of
course Obi-Wan.” He rumbled, obliging his soulmate by ducking down
and gently sealing their lips again, his hands shifting from holding
to supporting Obi-Wan with one in the small of his back and the other
on back of his shoulders..
Another
kiss just for pleasure and comfort, as they held around each other.
There
were still questions Obi-Wan needed to get answered, but those he
would have to ask someone who was knowledgeable about soul withering
and there were of course relationship issues to figure out as the
future continued slowly and steadily along with the new bond they now
shared but they would figure that out given time.
‘Together.’
Obi-Wan sighed happily into the kiss.
‘Indeed
Obi-Wan, together.’ Qui-Gon responded, chuckling contently when
Obi-Wan squeaked into the kiss.
Oh
yes, there were new things to learn about their bond and
relationship.
