Can I ask for a continuation of the tempest au, if you’re interested? Something cheerful? I love your writing, you’re wonderful!
The holodrama has gotten to the climax of its sorry state of actors
and plotlines but that is not what holds Obi-Wan’s attention.
No its the man he’s leaning against, the blanket wrapped around the
both of them as they have cuddled up together on the couch.
Qui-Gon is asleep, his head supported on a hand that’s settled on
the couch arm. He’s relaxed, breathing steadily with his eyes shut
and long hair falling out of his ponytail, utterly at peace as
Obi-Wan watches him with an awed little smile on his lips.
Qui-Gon, open and trusting, falling asleep before Obi-Wan.
A sign of being comfortable and content in the others presence.
It never failed to make the Jedi warm to the very core of his stomach
that Qui-Gon trusted him so much that he’d leave himself vulnerable
to the copper haired knight.
Force knew Obi-Wan could do anything right now, slip a Force
suppressor on him, kill him, restrain him…anything really.
Yet here the former Sith lord was. Lord Tempest, apprenticed to Count
Dooku…asleep against a Jedi, having been watching holodramas after
having a healthy dinner made of greens and slightly tough bantha meat
from them overcooking it.
He reached out and cupped the others bearded cheek with his palm,
stroking his cheekbone slowly with his fingertips.
‘When did I fall so deeply in love with you?’ He wondered as
Qui-Gon mumbled at the touch and leaned into it, remaining stubbornly
asleep as Obi-Wan caressed him affectionately. ‘Mace and Depa still
worries about me, their right as my former master and linage sister
but…you would never hurt me my Qui-Gon.’ He smiled softly before
shifting the blanket slowly off them and turning the holodrama off.
He gave a little shiver as the warmth from the blanket left him as he
got up, gently tapping Qui-Gon’s cheek.
“Mmmngh?” The other grunted and opened his eyes, blinking up at
Obi-Wan.
“Bed. Its late and we’re both falling asleep on the couch.” He
smiled down at him.
“Ah, I see.” The other yawned before stretching slowly, giving a
low grunt as his back popped. Obi-Wan chuckled and held out his
hands, pulling the yellow eyed man to his feet. Qui-Gon gave him a
small peck on the cheek and then headed for the fresher to get ready,
finding his sleep tunic on the way.
Obi-Wan meanwhile turned of the lights of the apartment, padding
around until the fresher was free for him to do his night time
preparations and change into his sleep wear. He was keenly aware of
amber eyes watching him from the bed, Qui-Gon laying on his side,
propped up on his elbow to keep an eye on Obi-Wan from the open door.
It was a lazily interested gaze with a slight tinge of question.
Spitting out his toothpaste, Obi-Wan caught the gaze in the window
and gave him a slightly foamy smile before he rinsed his mouth and
turned. “What?”
“Was just thinking, that’s all.”
“Oh? What about?”
“Just wondering when I got so domestic.” The former sith snorted,
lifting the edge of the covers to let Obi-Wan in under the same one.
“Strangely enough, I was thinking the same earlier, just about
myself.” The young knight laughed quietly as he snuggled up against
the broad chest of the other man as the covers were re-tucked. “But
I don’t mind. I like having you close. I feel…warm when I’m
with you.”
Qui-Gon gave another snort but didn’t contradict him, instead
brushing a soft kiss to his forehead. “I think that holodrama mush
is getting to your brain.”
“You were the one who insisted watching it.”
“…I honestly didn’t think it was that bad. I think it was the
reason I fell asleep like a log.”
“Next time we’ll watch something more interesting, perhaps a
planetary documentary about wildlife or such.” Obi-Wan hummed,
closing his eyes as Qui-Gon turned of the light in the room, sliding
an arm about the other mans waist.
“Sounds like a plan Obi-Wan.”
“Then its agreed…but right now I think the only words I need is
goodnight Qui-Gon.”
Qui-Gon gave a deep, rumbling chuckle before settling too. “Good
night my Obi-Wan.”
“Possessive bastard.”
“Sith.”
“Former Sith.”
“Good night Obi-Wan.”
Obi-Wan shook his head, smiling in the dark before falling asleep in
the comfortable warmth of Qui-Gon’s arms.
