Intothedark is awesome! What is Qui-gon planning? Is it just keeping Obi-wan safe or is he active with the other Sith? I can’t see Obi-wan forgiving him if he killed other Jedi but I can see Qui-gon deciding he’s earned a nice retirement with Obi-wan.
“You do know I’m not going to touch you inappropriately yes?”
Qui-Gon offered calmly, moving the dejarik piece with a smile.
Obi-Wan gave him a long and angry look before moving his own. “I’d
argue you already have, invading my mind. Its mental rape and you
know it.” He bit out.
“Only reviving an old bond Obi-Wan.” The umber haired man
chuckled quietly.
“Its mental rape. You never asked for my permission to
revive it and you’re using it to keep control of me.” Obi-Wan
sighed after a few moments and looked around, staring at the open
balcony door. “…I can’t even leave this house because of you.”
The older man leaned forward, yellow eyes creased with fondness.
“Give you a finger and you take a hand Obi-Wan. I know you too
well. Its why I know you’ll never fall and I know you’ll never
agree. Its also why I try to stay away from the Jedi and only subdue
them when I encounter them. You’d never accept me harming anyone
from the Order.”
The redhead blew air out of his nose sharply and then moved his
kintan strider.
Qui-Gon raised his eyebrow at that, flickering his eyes over the
board quickly before frowning slowly and raising his eyes to Obi-Wan
again. “An aggressive move Obi-Wan…”
The redhead pressed his lips together. “I watched you die in front
of me. I watched your body burn and I’ve raised a padawan in the
aftermath of a shattering heart. I changed a lot.” He growled at
Qui-Gon.
The Sith carefully picked up his glass of water, taking a long sip
even as Obi-Wan watched him.
Obi-Wan’s heart hurt.
There was so much pain in seeing the other man, knowing he was alive,
knowing he had been alive for several years… knowing he hadn’t
sought out the Order when he came back.
He wanted to blame Dooku, say that it was a dangerous Sith alchemy
that had brought Qui-Gon back wrong but…
He had asked the man.
Dooku had shrugged, a nervous look in his eyes only visible for a few
moments before he confessed that he had found Qui-Gon, not brought
him back, just found.
Qui-Gon had been nude, confused and covered in Darkness a few years
after the tall mans death and Dooku had taken him to Serenno and
nursed him to health, watched the man grow darker and darker as if
the dark side of the Force spoke to him.
He
shook himself back into the moment as Qui-Gon finally moved his
mantellian savrip and they both watched as it subdued
and killed Obi-Wan’s kintan strider, the strongest piece.
Wasting no time for more conversation,
Obi-Wan dispatched the savrip with his monnok.
“…A kintan strider gambit Obi-Wan?
An aggressive move.” Qui-Gon murmured quietly. “Not something I
associate with you anymore. Your youth perhaps but not you the adult
and Jedi master.” He tilted his head.
The green eyed man stared at him for a
long moment. “…You don’t have a right to judge my actions
anymore Qui-Go-” A broad hand reached out and carefully stroked his
cheek and it shamed Obi-Wan to admit he leaned into it for a few
moments before he jerked away. “Stop that.” He hissed quietly, as
if his body didn’t burn with the proximity of the others skin on
his.
Just chuckling quietly, Qui-Gon settled
back to looking at the game. “…I believe I’ll be reinforcing
the guards tonight.” He offered lightly and Obi-Wan growled
faintly, looking away.
