“Where do you fall in this Master?” “What are talking about Anakin?” “I know you were listening in the kitchen to Qui-Gon’s lesson.” “Anakin, I can’t follow half sentences this early in the morning.” “Where do you fall on the scale? You must have some opinion or fall somewhere on the scale.” “I didn’t realize that there was a scale now.” “My love, quit being difficult and answer our son. I must admit being curious.” -Murder Husband (Have fun & use what you want)
Sipping his tea
slowly while sleepily watching Anakin make breakfast for Padme,
Obi-Wan tried to let the warm leaf water wake him up.
It was really good
tea, slightly sweet with a nice after taste that coated Obi-Wan’s
tongue with an almost buzzy sensation but it was only drunk in the
morning because of its natural sweetness as it had quite a bit of
caffeine in it.
He preferred sapir
or a dark variant when he was more awake.
Letting out a happy
hum as Qui-Gon pressed a soft kiss to his temple as the other got
himself some tea, Obi-Wan gave the other a drowsy smile of
contentment without a care to Padme and Anakin seeing it.
After all, Obi-Wan
was where he belonged.
Busy being sleepy
and smiling at Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan did not notice Anakin glancing at him
curiously until the man finally spoke up. “Where do you fall in
this Master?”
Glancing at Anakin,
Obi-Wan raised a confused eyebrow along with a small smile. “What
are talking about Anakin?” He yawned a bit.
That got him an
unimpressed glare before Anakin rolled his still yellow eyes
expressively to the chuckle of both Padme and Qui-Gon. “I know you
were listening in the kitchen to Qui-Gon’s lesson.”
Raising his own
brow, Obi-Wan peered at him in puzzlement still. “And?” He
questioned “Anakin, I can’t follow half sentences this early in
the morning.”
“Where do you
fall on the scale? You must have some opinion or fall somewhere on
the scale.” The blond pressed as he placed another waffle on a
plate for himself and Padme. “You’ve always had an opinion when
it comes to the Force and this shouldn’t be any different.”
Anakin frowned at him.
“I didn’t
realize that there was a scale now.” Obi-Wan hummed back, taking a
calming sip of his tea to avoid answering for now.
“My love, quit
being difficult and answer our ‘son’. I must admit being curious.”
Qui-Gon rumbled, pressing a kiss to his temple once more while
sliding an arm around his waist in a comforting motion. Though Obi-Wan was rather sure the other was teasing him in calling Anakin their son… he thought.
Sighing a bit,
Obi-Wan ran his hand over his face as he let his mind drift in search
of the right words as the sizzle of the pan was all they could hear
outside of their own breathing. Finally he opened his mouth while
focusing his eyes on Anakin. “In the scale of light and dark, I am
towards the spectrum of light because that’s where I found my
balance and center. The dark leaves me cold, leaves me humiliated and
therefor it is not for me,” He glanced up at Qui-Gon. “I agree
there must be balance, but there is a difference in darkness I’ve
come to learn by being here. The dark that hurts and the dark that
balances out the light because there must always be balance, chaos
and order, death and life, light and dark.” He finally said.
Humming at that,
Qui-Gon smiled at him before leaning down and stealing a soft, tea
tasting kiss. “And that’s why I love you, the light inside of you
shines and warms others. Your light has always been beautiful Obi
love.” He squeezed his arm around Obi-Wan’s waist and Obi-Wan
glanced away, a bit embarrassed but mostly pleased with the affection
and especially the praise.
Anakin visibly
mused on it a bit before nodding. “I guess I understand, you never
chafed at it, never seemed to feel small by the limitations because
for you there aren’t limitation. The light is what empowers you,”
He settled on before picking up the plate and setting it down for
Padme then he looked to them. “There’s more batter if you two
want, I can cook it up.” Anakin offered with a grin.
Laughing a bit,
Obi-Wan gave a nod. “I would like that Anakin, you make wonderful
fluffy waffles though I think I will quickly whip up some cream and
berries, which I will of course share.” Obi-Wan said when Padme let
out a hopeful noise while staring at him, pausing in her reach for
the syrup.
Anakin and Qui-Gon
laughed as Obi-Wan moved to the fridge to get the necessary blue
cream and berries, setting his cup down to chop and whisk.
Considering the
seriousness of Anakin’s question though, Obi-Wan was grateful with
how… gentle the morning was, how at ease they were.
It was enough to
make his shoulders lower and his breathing slow and relaxing.
