In your sheevson verse, is ghost!Qui-Gon around? And if he is, what does he thinks of all this? Thank you, love all your writing!!
Soft sniggering disturbed Anakin from
his drowse and he lifted his head of his pillow to blink down at his
chest where Obi-Wan’s head was resting, having managed to coax the
other into sharing a bunk together instead of sleeping separate since
they were with their troopers.
Anakin was pretty sure that the 501th
at least knew about their relationship so it didn’t matter if they
saw them.
“What?” He mumbled.
“Sorry, was…was thinking.”
Obi-Wan lifted his head, eyes soft and warm as he peered at the
other.
“About?”
“How you reacted when I told you
Sheev was my father.” Obi-Wan grinned and Anakin grumbled a bit.
“Come on, I was eating at the time.”
Anakin mumbled.
“You choked on your own cereal and
got it stuck in your nose.” Obi-Wan giggled helpessly. “Blue milk
came out your nose. I can’t believe you didn’t suspect it after
all those years.”
“I never saw a picture of Palpatine
as a young man.” Anakin defended. “He looks like a old wrinkled
walnut.”
Obi-Wan dropped his head back in the
others chest and laughed even more, nuzzling into the others chest.
“And he kept touching you, I kept
thinking the old walnut was interested in you.” Anakin tightened
his arms around the others waist.
That got a low hum out of Obi-Wan.
“No…he figured out that I was touch starved so he…” He let
his words trail off.
He knew what Sheev had done.
He had slowly gained Obi-Wan’s touch,
given him what he had subconsciously craved since he was a small boy.
Someone who cared for him, touched him, listened to him and never
blamed him for anything.
Just someone who was willing to be
there for him without demanding anything in return.
Force how twisted was it that a Sith
had become his most trusted person beside Anakin?
And Anakin was well on his way to
Falling.
He swallowed heavily at that, feeling
old guilt slowly rising in his chest.
“Hey, no, none of that.” Anakin
whispered, cupping his chin and forcing his head up again until
Obi-Wan meet his eyes. “Obi-Wan…the Jedi Order has lost their
way. We know that. It needs reforms.” He whispered.
“I know…but I shouldn’t… I
can’t… I’m on the council.” Tears stung at Obi-Wan’s eyes.
“And then there’s this.” He looked at the way they were laying.
“I…”
“Obi-Wan…you’re allowed to want
things.” Anakin whispered firmly. “Obi-Wan this can’t be wrong.
If it was wrong then the Force wouldn’t allow it.” He leaned in
and kissed the other sweetly on the lips before pressing a softer
kiss to each of the mans eyelids. “Trust in that.”
Obi-Wan gave a harsh swallow then hid
out in Anakin’s chest. “…Ka-Adi and Yarael died last week… as
did four masters and two knights.” He whispered. “…I think…I
think the Chancellor was behind it.”
“…Why do you think that?” Anakin
murmured, stroking the others hair.
“Because he wants to make me
grandmaster of the Jedi Order so I can implement reforms that would
make it easier for him to take charge…” Obi-Wan confessed.
Anakin’s hand stilled on his hair
then he continued slowly stroking the others hair. “Do you want to
be grandmaster?” He whispered, not sounding as horrified about the
betrayal to the Jedi order as Obi-Wan had feared.
Lifting his head slowly of off the
others chest, he stared at Anakin who stared back.
“…Between the order and you… you
have my heart, I follow you anywhere you go.” Anakin whispered then
grunted when Obi-Wan surged forward and took his lips in a desperate
kiss that was more teeth then anything.
‘He doesn’t hate me. He won’t
tell anyone.’ Obi-Wan felt himself let out a sob against the others
lips and Anakin’s arms tightened around him, holding the other to
him as he gentled the kiss into something soft but just as needful,
knowing that Obi-Wan needed the reassurance.

“Obi-Wan can no longer be trusted.”
Yoda cracked his eyes open at the voice and stared into the darkness
of his room, hands tightening on his cane.
“Certain you are?”
“He has fallen from the path. Unless
the order can provide guidance, he is lost to us.” The voice
continued.
“Steer him on the right path you
can?” Yoda questioned.
“I’m…uncertain.” The voice grew
fainter and Yoda sighed.
“Even in death you remain a wild card
Qui-Gon.” He slowly got out of his chair to go inform Mace. They
would need to keep Obi-Wan under watch…at all times.
