Omg, more showhimlight? ❤️ Like Obi and Maul being cute and awesome together? With maaaaaaaybe a little of Anakin (or others?) seeing how amazing Obi-Wan’s teaching (cough, parenting) style is compared to Qui-Gon’s?
“…If you don’t get off my back, I will buck you off, I swear to
Force Maul Kenobi.” Obi-Wan muttered into his bedroll as he felt
his padawan’s grin in the Force.
“I feel that I should warn you master that I am your padawan and
technically a teen with my twelve and a half year, this means that I
can make your life really hard for you if you buck me off you.” The
teenager chirped.
Lifting his head slowly from the bedroll, Obi-Wan narrowed his eyes
at the trees in front of him. “Yes, that may be true but I should
also warn you, padawan of mine, that I am your master and teacher, I
am fully able to assign you several chores once we get back to the
temple and I will have no issue dragging your ass through sex ed
early.” He turned his head enough to look at Maul over his
shoulder, the angle awkward.
The two engaged in a stare down, yellow meeting green as Maul’s
silka beads swayed lightly in the breeze.
Said stare down might have continued a while longer if it wasn’t
for the little cough interrupting which caused Maul to look up.
Obi-Wan took advantage, twisting around as as a slippery snake and
pouncing, pinning his padawan to the foliage covered ground. “Victory
for the Kenobi clan!”
“I’m part of the Kenobi cla-ah! Master!” The technically a teen
padawan squealed and then started laughing helplessly, flailing
around to escape.
All in vain.
Obi-Wan had a good grip with his legs on his padawan’s thighs,
pinning the boy as he tickled him mercilessly. “Surrender foul
padawan of bad odors and bad habits!”
“Gah! Never master of over tea drinking and flirting!” Maul
giggled helplessly, legs kicking beneath Obi-Wan’s superior body
weight as he tried to grab onto the older mans wrists and their
little ‘battle’ may have continued far longer if a throat hadn’t
been cleared at that moment.
Obi-Wan sat back on Maul’s knees, looking affable as if he was not
sleep mussed and robe wrinkled, having just tickle attacked his own
padawan. “Yes Qui-Gon? Was there something important you wanted?”
He questioned flippantly.
The older master raised his brows from where he was sitting with a
bowl of tea carefully held in his hand. “Just wondering if this is
a common morning ritual of the Kenobi quarters or if we can be
treated to a bit of peace and quiet before we move on wards, that’s
all.” He questioned, tone light.
Behind him, Anakin gave the two an envious grin of amusement,
wishing… well it didn’t matter what he was wishing, Obi-Wan was
Maul’s master.
“Hmm it seems you have been granted an extension of time for your
fate my young technically a teenager padawan.” The knight offered
gravely down at the grinning zabrak, giving the boy a poke in the
stomach which got him a giggle snort before he got up and ran his
hands through his hair. “You are still going to get some mindful
meditation on respect once we get back to the temple.”
“You say that every time Master.” Maul sat up, laughing as he
brushed leaves off himself.
“And one day I’ll mean it.” Obi-Wan countered dryly before
wandering over to the river to drink and splash his face with water.
Maul meanwhile happily started rolling the bedroll together and threw
it over to his own, beaming happily at Anakin and Qui-Gon. “He’ll
be ready in ten minutes Master Jinn.”
“Twenty, I want to eat.” Obi-Wan threw over his shoulder.
“Twenty minutes.” Maul corrected with a happy little bird like
chirp.
