Can we see Alpha Qui-gon escaping and reuniting with Omega Obi-wan? Or Obi-wan coming to his rescue?
There is no waiting on the council to
officially recognize him as he throws himself at the man in the
middle of the room, his mate’s neck bloody and raw looking and his
hands just so too. But alive, Qui-Gon’s alive and his arms are
wrapping around him when Obi-Wan throws himself at the taller mans
chest.
“Obi-Wan!” The alpha breathed out
then pulled him more firmly against his chest, nuzzling into his hair
and murmuring in relief, raw hands pressed to his back and nose
taking in the scent of his mate.
“Where the hell have you been?”
Obi-Wan rasped out before reaching up and cupping the others face in
his hands, staring at him with wide eyes. “Do you have any idea
what it felt like when the mating bond just…” He swallowed then
pulled the other down into a kiss, feeling Qui-Gon’s hands clench
on his hips even as he responded to the kiss.
There was a few moments before someone
cleared their throat. “Not to be a pyjak but we are still in a
council meeting that requires a report before Qui-Gon needs to go to
the healers.”
Obi-Wan pulled back at that, falling
back on his feet from his toes as he blinked at the council before
flushing darkly. “A-Apologies I ju-”
Mace waved him off and Yoda sniggered a
bit. “Understand we do, but report necessary is. Yan Dooku you
mentioned Master Qui-Gon?”
The long haired alpha took a deep
breath and kept his arm around Obi-Wan as he turned back to the
council, nodding. “I’m afraid he’s gone off the deep end
masters. But some of his accusations ring true despite that. He
claimed that there’s a sith in the Senate pulling strings since
Naboo and I’m inclined to believe him.”
Obi-Wan tucked into his mates side as
he listened to the explanation to what happened to Qui-Gon.
So he’s privileged to see how Yoda’s
ears sink at the news of his former padawan’s fall from grace but
that’s nothing to how they outright drop when Qui-Gon tells them
that not only has Dooku walked from the Jedi order…he’s Fallen.
“I’m sorry Master Yoda.” Qui-Gon
whispered.
Yoda sighed. “Knew broken away from
my teaching he had. Knew how far he had fallen I did not.” The old
being’s ears twitched. “…Sith he now is?”
“…I think so yes. The things he
said seemed to indicate it.” Qui-Gon confirmed, the two sharing a
long look, grandpadawan to grandmaster.
Yoda closed his eyes for what felt like
a long moment before he opened them again and looked around the room.
“Then a new enemy the Jedi order has.”
The silence was harsh like a grave.
“Take him alive if possible we must,
questions about the Sith master I have.” Yoda’s tone hardened.
“But if not possible then the Jedi order will do what it must do.”
They all stared at Yoda before they
bowed their heads in understanding, knowing how much those words must
have hurt him, Yan was his last padawan and now… Force, Yoda looked
his 800 years more then ever at that moment.
“If its all the same masters, may I
take my mate to the healers now?” Obi-Wan questioned quietly into
the silence, glancing at the raw hand on his waist and then at the
neck which bore the raw marks of a collar.
Yoda breathed out and nodded. “A
report we now have, an official account into the Archives can go
later. Take master Qui-Gon with you, you shall.”
Obi-Wan bowed as far as he could with
the swell of his stomach in the way and grasped Qui-Gon by the elbow,
slowly pulling him along eagerly. His mate followed docilely, smiling
gently at him, seemingly just grateful to be home.
Squeezing the others elbow, Obi-Wan
reached out through their bond so the other knew just how much he had
been missed and how how worried he had been.
Sorrow and relief came back. Sorrow for
putting Obi-Wan through the entire thing and relief for being home as
Qui-Gon wrapped his arms around the other as they entered the
elevator. “I’m home love. I’m here.” He whispered, one raw
scrubbed hand resting on the curved stomach. “I won’t be leaving
anytime soon.”
“I’m going to kick you if you do.”
Obi-Wan muttered into the others chest. “…Are you hurt anywhere
else?”
“No. I rubbed my neck raw on the
collar and my hands digging my way out.” Qui-Gon sighed. “No
where else love.” He nuzzled into the others hair, letting the
scent of home sooth him. “Does Anakin know…”
“Yes. He’s waiting on us in medical
bay. Not an easy feat I tell you.”
That just got a soft chuckle out of
Qui-Gon as he continued holding the other. “Well done then…”
And then they both grew quiet when the
babe inside Obi-Wan kicked.
Qui-Gon blinked before smiling softly.
“Seems you’re not the only one excited that I’m home.”
“I imagine they missed you as much as
I did.” Obi-Wan whispered.
“And I missed you.” Qui-Gon
tightened his arm around Obi-Wan, petting the stomach gently with one
hand.
