So after the deed is done in Guild of Exile, maybe Obi and Ani need to talk. Obi doesn’t strike me as the type to sleep with his customer’s husband’s without them knowing something.
For
all their need, or more specifically, Anakin’s need, they didn’t
delve deeper than the kiss that they had initiated though Obi-Wan did
allow the Jedi to share his bed and bunk for closeness, Anakin
leaving the Resolute in Rex capable hands to join the captain on the
Dalliance.
And
he got to see the bridge, staring in fascination at all the swaying
colored glass orbs hanging near the captain chair where
Obi-Wan was going over information, needing to be undisturbed for a
bit.
“What are they?” He finally asked, crossing his arms over his
chest as he felt the smooth vibration of a well maintained motor
below his feet.
“It’s
captain’s way of finding out if a job is dangerous,” Lace
answered absently, the former trooper wearing her hair loose and
swaying around her hair in curls at the moment. She was a bit dark
ringed around the eyes still but for someone who had been dead for
seconds, she was in amazing shape. “Since he has the Force, if a
glass orb falls, it means the job is a shit-chute and we have to act
accordingly.” She yawned.
Hoodie
roared in agreement, while
Blast, the ammunition and explosive expert, gave a loud snort.
“That’s when you know we need my hand on everything.” He
smirked only for several to complain about him fucking up their best
blasters with his ‘improvements’ and whatnot.
‘So
he uses these to gauge if a job is harder than it should be…
that’s…fascinating.’ Anakin stared at the orbs before jumping
when a hand touched his hip, Obi-Wan nodding his head towards the
door.
Nodding,
Anakin followed silently, watching Obi-Wan and Lace exchanged hand
gestures that he bet meant that Lace had the bridge and command.
Comfortable
with each other.
‘Mine.’
The dragon in him snarled but it was softer, quieter, Anakin
recognizing that what Lace and Obi-Wan had was a sibling
relationship.
So
he follows quietly at Obi-Wan’s side, recognizing that they were
going to the captain’s quarters and Anakin won’t deny he had a
minor trill when seeing it was a two person bunk instead of a
singular.
It
was also very sparse, a standard quarter really if a bit bigger,
drawers and closets sunken into the walls to make the space seem
bigger, a few holos of the guild here and there, some trinkets and
the bed with a small fresher attached.
Obi-Wan
made his way over to the bed and started to unclip himself from his
armor, slowly placing it on a chair beside the bed. “You’re going
to have to talk with your wife before anything else happens
Skywalker.” Obi-Wan murmured suddenly, even as Anakin was curiously
examining the holos.
Jerking
a bit, Anakin turned to him. “Right, yes, of course. I’m gonna…
yes. When we get to Coruscant.” He sighed deeply. There was no way
Anakin was going to insult Padme even more by taking the call over
holo, for one it was cowardly and two it was disrespectful to her if
he did.
“Good.”
Obi-Wan hummed, settling down his plate before turning a bit towards
Anakin, watching him. “…You sunk all the way into my mind as if
you belonged there, I’ve never had that happen before.” He
stated, turning back to unclipping his leg plastoid.
Hesitating
a bit, Anakin finally pulled off his own armor and set down. “I saw
a few things when you hooked into my powers, you were meant to be a
Jedi and meet me.” He confessed softly, pausing when Obi-Wan froze.
The
man stared at his armor plate and the thin braid behind his ear fell
out of it’s tied in bun somehow as Anakin watched. Both stared at
it as it swung lightly back and forth and then Obi-Wan let out a deep
breath.
“That
was not my path, not here…but maybe I can have a path with you
considering how you sunk into my mind.” He glanced at Anakin again
before reaching up into his bun to release the much thicker braid,
letting it fall down.
Sitting
down on the bunk, Anakin marveled a bit as he realized the sheets
were blue Naboo cotton, soft and luxurious before jumping a bit when
Obi-Wan sat down too. Coloring as the redhead stared at him, Anakin
offered up an uncertain smile that had Obi-Wan’s lips twitching
into a responding soft smile.
Shifting
up towards the headboard, Obi-Wan suited himself with a pillow behind
his back and his knees raised and lightly spread before he gave
Anakin an expecting stare.
Blinking
uncomprehendingly, Anakin stared at him until Obi-Wan rolled his eyes
and pointedly patted the area between his legs which eagerly prompted
Anakin to crawl in between them and then turn, resting his back to
Obi-Wan’s chest while stretching his legs out.
As
he did, he felt Obi-Wan’s chin rest on his head and his arms go
around Anakin’s chest, finding his flesh hand to lightly rub his
thumb across the back. “Well you asked me to teach you about the
cosmic Force… so how about we start now?” He murmured quietly as
his braids were laying down Anakin’s chest.
Reaching
for the thicker braid, Anakin played with it with his mech fingers,
wishing he had the touch sensors to feel the thing. “Sounds…
okay… meditating right?” He sighed, smiling a tiny bit when
Obi-Wan chuckled.
“Meditating,
just link up with me and I’ll try guiding you this time.” Obi-Wan
murmured and if Anakin’s ears weren’t deceiving him, the man
sounded fond.
These
were the first steps and Anakin hoped…
Well,
he hoped even as he closed his eyes and breathed out, losing himself
to the Force and to Obi-Wan.
