#GuildofExile It’s a race between Palpacreep and the Council to get to Obi-Wan first…..Who wins?
Staring
at all the CIS ships above
them,
Anakin felt the saliva in his mouth go dry.
There
were so many, how could so many ships had gotten here in such a short
amount of time and why.
Normally
they didn’t focus on a single spot so brutally and… was Obi-Wan
the reason?
Had
a report gone out already to the CIS about what the other could do?
As
far as Anakin could see, there were eight dreadnoughts classed ships
above them, four rather large battle cruisers, several missile
fighters and even as Anakin observed, another two dreadnoughts joined
the barricade that was going to bear down on them.
They
weren’t leaving here alive, there
were just too many ships and too many droids on those ships and…
these were odds even Anakin could not win against with
all his Force and luck on his side as the troopers and the Guild
members stared up with grim faces.
A
hand grasped his elbow,
starling Anakin.
“Anakin, lend me your strength.”
A urgent voice whispered and he looked down, away from the sky
to meet Obi-Wan’s eyes as the redhead stared at him.
“Wha-”
Obi-Wan
cut in. “Lend me your strength you idiot and we may still survive.”
The man hissed, his the
pupils of the man’s eyes blown wide with emotions Anakin couldn’t
even begin to recognize in his own tumultuous state.
Blinking,
Anakin turned to him then offered up both his palms despite one being
a mech hand.
Quickly
Obi-Wan took it and Anakin was gone, gone
into Obi-Wan and his strength.
Suddenly
he could feel
everything,
could
feel Obi-Wan, could feel Qui-Gon,
every clone, every Jedi, everything living
in
the entire galaxy as he understood that this
was the cosmic Force he had asked Obi-Wan to teach him about.
He
could feel Padme all the way to Coruscant, her
slight annoyance and even more a smug sort of satisfaction as if she
managed to get a bill through or a victory at least.
But
most important… he could feel Obi-Wan as he sunk willingly
into
the other man’s Force ability and as he did, he felt anger because
Obi-Wan was his.
He could see it at that moment, the glimpses of another world,
another life.
One
where Obi-Wan had not been sent away, where he had temporarily
belonged to Qui-Gon, been trained to be a Jedi knight until Anakin
came along. Then the redhead was his,
was Anakin’s master, his guiding light.
‘You
are strong and wise, Anakin, and I am very proud of you.’
The
whisper was soft and quickly followed by another. ‘There
are no other Jedi I’d want at my side, Anakin.’
Jedi,
Obi-Wan was suppose to be his
but the Jedi hadn’t kept him as they should have and so Anakin was
only now seeing clear.
His
Obi-Wan.
As
he came back to the quiet awe of everyone around him as the CIS ships
sparked and
crashed into each other up in the sky
to find Obi-Wan’s eyes still as liquid, green
fire, he wondered how the hell he was suppose to explain this to
Padme.
He
had once told her that he wasn’t a good Jedi, that he wanted more
and in this moment… he wanted Obi-Wan.
The
other was his and as Obi-Wan finally returned to himself, Anakin
freed his hands from the others only to reach up to the dazed
captain’s face to cup it and duck down, pulling Obi-Wan into a deep
kiss.
He
received a surprise noise, a dazed Obi-Wan uncertainly flailing
before suddenly responding, his hands coming up into Anakin’s hair
to pull him in, cupping the back of the Jedi’s head as he pressed
in closer with his lower armored self contrasting wonderfully against
the warmth of his upper, armorless body.
‘Mine,
just mine, only mine. I won’t let you go, I can’t let you go.
Mine, Mine. MINE!’ Anakin reached out into the Force and dragged
the other to him, tying Obi-Wan to him through the Force, entwining
their signatures.
And
Obi-Wan put up no protest, no shields.
On
the contrary, he opened up to
Anakin
like a flower before
the sun and let Anakin consume him with his power as the bond bloomed
for both of them with the Jedi knight tying them irreversibly
together with his brute power in the Force.
Finally
pulling back, to wolf whistles and catcalls, Anakin panted as he
stared down at the sweaty and dark eyed guild captain, who licked his
lips and looked up at Anakin with swelling lips. “…I believe you
have some explaining to do Anakin Skywalker.” He whispered, heat
trapped in his voice.
“Uhu,
will, gonna, not now, need you now.” Anapkin whispered in return,
leaning his forehead against Obi-Wan’s to catch the man’s breath
still, to feel his warmth and remain close as the fresh bond deepened
between them the longer they held it open on both side.
The
flow of the Force, of their signatures entwining was intoxicating
and Anakin would always want more of this, more of Obi-Wan.
He
almost wanted to be corny, to ask where the other had been all his
life but he knew that. And now he had Obi-Wan.
‘I’m
going to devour you…’ He realized with some trepidation
and yet excitement. ‘And you might just devour me in return.’
Anakin realized as those sparks of lights could still be seen in the
others darkened eyes.
