Unbonded misery! Omg omg omg!! That’s so much ANGSYLT MODDY!!! WHY!!!!! Can we have the shot where Anakin has to be all «Master Koon, I wanna make a thing but I need ingredients» and the shopping trip because I need a bit of fluff to counter all the angst!!!
Surveying Obi-Wan’s
back as the other slept while Qui-Gon had gone to speak with the
healers about Obi-Wan’s current and future condition and recovery,
Anakin pressed clammy hands to his thighs as he wondered how so much
could go so bad in so little time.
Just twelve hours
earlier things had been great.

Having found Master
Koon in the library, Anakin took a deep breath and approached the kel
dor, calling for his attention and then bowing respectfully to him.
“Master Koon, would you perhaps do me a favor?” He questioned
meekly since he was honestly asking for a huge favor.
But he would dare
for Obi-Wan.
The kel dor peered
at him, his cheeks shifting into what Anakin recognized as a small
smile of the kel dor variety. “Padawan Skywalker, that does depend
on the favor. Please, do ask.” He chuckled.
‘So far, so
good,’ Anakin thought optimistically and honestly, Plo sounded in a
good mood so he thought he had a rather decent chance. “You’re a
council member so you’re fully aware of the… the situation with
my brother padawan, Obi-Wan,” He startled haltingly, watching Plo
sit up more and obviously pay more attention and when the man nodded
encouragingly, Anakin plowed onward. “He’s not in a good mood
lately, to be frank but I wanted to do something special for him,
recreate a dish I often had on Tatooine when I was ill. However…”
He trailed off.
Plo picked it up
with ease. “However you can’t find those ingredients in the
temple for it, can you?” He hummed. “And since you came asking a
council member, your master is busy with Knight Kenobi is he not?”
He posed each sentence like a question but seemed to know the answer
to each of them.
Anakin still
nodded. “Yes Master Koon. And Obi-Wan needs master Qui-Gon right
now, that’s why I came to you. I was hoping that, well maybe if you
escorted me, the temple wouldn’t mind too awfully?” He asked
hopefully.
Humming a bit, Plo
finally nodded and stood, shutting off the terminal as he did. “I
believe that can be arranged yes. The council has been… worried
about young Knight Kenobi and I believe your kindness will be good
for him today.” He smiled down at Anakin.
Beaming brightly up
at the kel dor, Anakin gave a quick bow. “Thank you!” He gasped,
utterly delighted, though he tucked away the information that the
council was worried about Obi-Wan for later inspection.

It had all seemed
so okay back then as he came back to the temple and hid the groceries
in the fridge to create the dish.
They were still in
the fridge actually.
Maybe he can still
make a comfort dinner for Obi-Wan…
Looking up, Anakin
bit his lips as he noticed the others shaking body and crawled onto
the bed to hug him.
Immediately Obi-Wan
turned and pulled Anakin into his chest, tucking himself around
Anakin as if he was a giant teddy bear or plush eopie but Anakin
didn’t mind, knowing the omega needed comfort. He was quite willing
to play plushy toy for Obi-Wan’s comfort as he petted at the others
side with a small hand and listened to the muffled hitches of breath.
He knew there were
tears, but those he could not do anything about.
But he’d do his
best to offer comfort and sometimes crying was just the thing you
needed.
Sometimes crying
brought relief.
So Anakin quietly
offered comfort and let Obi-Wan cry.
