You tapped on the new piece of hardware hanging over your ear as you walked through the darkened backrooms of the base.
"Is this thing working?" You asked in a hushed tone.
"Yes, I can hear you just fine." You heard Obi-Wan's voice come through with a small amount of static mixed in.
"Oh good, now I can have your voice in my head telling me all the things I do wrong all the time now."
You could almost hear the smirk on Obi-Wan's face at your sarcastic remark before he replied "Perhaps this will stop you from making your impulsive decisions then."
"Don't get your hopes up."
Obi-Wan smiled again as he checked his scanners again. Even in these kinds of situations you could always make him smile.
He was nervous for you, being alone in a rebel base with no real knowledge of what you were actually looking for. And he hated that he was so far away, unable to get closer due to the base's ability to scan for ships.
So you snuck in yourself. Obi-Wan insisted on coming too, but you needed someone to be prepared to get you out fast, besides, if you got caught, there was a higher chance of him being recognized. You had a better ability of blending in, and no one knew your face, you couldn't be tracked back to the resistance.
"Damn"
Obi-Wan's heart dropped when he heard you curse, immedietely sitting up in his chair his hands hvering over the ships controls in case he needed to make his way to you.
"Y/n? What is it?"
"Someones coming, hold on." Your voice was barely audible, but Obi-Wan held his tongue, and his breath.
You snuck into a nearby room and leaned against the wall in the darkness. The sound of people walking past echoed through your ears.
Your heart was hammering as you held the handle of your phaser tightly.
"Y/n?" Obi-Wan's voice spoke softly, worry obvious.
"I'm good." You whispered and you heard an audible sigh of relief.
Looking around the room you had snuck into, you realized it was full of computers and paperwork. Looking closer, you saw drives locked up in a cabinet. Your interest piqued, you inched closer, wondering if the information on the drives might be valuable.
"I found a bunch of data drives"
"Any way of knowing what's on them?"
Breaking the lock, you took as many drives as you could fit in your bag. "No Idea but I grabbed some. I'm going to try and get into their system."
Able to hack in, you were only able to find one file on a potential weapon development for the rebels before you suddenly heard the door behind you slide open.
You dropped down, trying not to be seen, but you weren't fast enough.
"There they are!"
Through the comm's Obi-Wan heard an unfamiliar yell before the sound of weapons fire was heard. Obi-Wan immediately started the ship and made his way towards the base.
Hearing you grunt in pain, Obi-Wan's heart dropped "Y/n?"
"I've been hit" You said with panic in your voice as you fired your weapon at the rebels. Killing one, and wounding the other, you managed to get out of the room.
You raced down the corridors, your abdomen burning from your wound. As alarms started to blare through the base, you looked for a way out, but as the sound of running approached, you felt a sense of dread wash over you.
"I'll be there soon Y/n, can you get to the pick up point?"
"I'll get back to you on that."
Weapons fire filled the comm's again and panic coursed through Obi-Wan. He knew it was too dangerous to send you alone, he hated that he didn't go with you, he hated that he didn't risk the resistance being linked to the mission.
When silence came through the comm's Obi-Wan spoke "Y/n, what's going on?"
He heard your heavy breaths through the comm "I can't get out, they've got the place flooded with people. Obi-Wan, they knew I was here. They didn't just find me, they were looking for me."
Obi-Wan's breath caught in his throat "Are you sure?"
You nodded, forgetting that he couldn't see you "Yes, they knew"
Anger and worry coursed through him, who found out? Or, who betrayed you?
"Where are you?"
"I found a small storage room, I'm hiding in, I don't know if they'll find me. If they do, I'm screwed."
"How are your injuries?"
You looked down at your body and you swallowed. After the first hit to your abdomen in the control room, the ambush of rebels in the hall did more damage. You had been hit in the shoulder, arm and leg. It wasn't good, you already felt your body weakening.
Your clothes were burned from the phaser fire, the wounds were cauterized, but blood seeped from them due to your desperate escape.
"Not good."
Obi-Wan's stomach turned "I'm almost there, just hang on okay?"
"Obi-Wan, don't"
"Don't what?"
"Don't come for me."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm too far into the base, it's too risky. And I'm too injured. It's not worth it."
Obi-Wan let out a scoff of anger and surprise.
"You mean you're not worth it?"
You always had this mindset. You always threw yourself into dangerous situations so other's didn't have too, because you thought you wouldn't be as missed, that you wouldn't be worth as much, that no one would really care if you died.
And he hated it, he hated that you didn't see your worth. He hated that you didn't see how much he cared.
Your silence told him exactly what he already knew.
"How can you still think that?" He asked, his voice desperate "How can you think after all this time, after all the people you've saved, that you aren't worth it?"
"It's an occupational hazard I guess." You spoke softly, obviously in pain, but he could hear the forced smile on your face as you spoke.
You were never one to want to worry him, so you always made jokes.
"Even if I don't think I'm worth it. It's too dangerous for you. The base is flooded with people, you may be a jedi, but you can't make it through all of them to find me. You'll get yourself killed."
"I'm coming to get you Y/n, nothing is stopping me."
Your heart was hammering in your chest, and you weren't sure if it was because of the pain, panic, or the way Obi-Wan was speaking.
"Is this what it feels like to be you, when I make reckless decisions?"
You heard Obi-Wan let out a soft huff "Yes"
"No wonder you always get so upset with me."
"Occupational hazard" He mumbled as his knuckles turned white due to the grip of his hands.
He could hear your voice slowly getting softer, you were loosing strength.
"I'm getting close Y/n, just hang on."
You could hear the sound of footsteps nearby and fear coursed through you. You pointed you weapon at the door, prepared to fire if needed. Even if you'd die here, you wouldn't let them take you out easily.
The footsteps faded and you felt relief wash over you. You hissed as a jolt of pain shot through your stomach.
"Y/n?"
"Obi-Wan, it's too late." Your voice was softer now, as your eyelids grew heavier. Your clothes slowly soaked with blood, your wounds aching.
"Don't you dare say that. I know you're stronger than this, so just stay awake, I'm almost there!"
Obi-Wan could feel himself losing to his emotions, but he didn't care, not now. He couldn't lose you, he wouldn't.
"Always so worried about me, always caring so much more than others. Why?" You were mumbling but Obi-Wan could still hear you.
Obi-Wan felt his eyes burning, hearing the pain and worry in your tone "Don't you know?"
"Yes. But If I'm going to die I'd like to hear it at least once."
Obi-Wan shook his head, "You're not going to die. You're going to hold on, and I'll tell you in person. How does that sound?"
"So now you're trying to bribe me into surviving?"
"Anything to make you stay"
You didn't notice your grip loosening and your gun falling to the floor, or the way your body began to slump. You tried to focus on Obi-Wan's voice, to stay awake, but you felt yourself falling into darkness.
"I don't...think I h-have...a choice"
"Y/n? Y/n!"
When you didn't response, and he was only met with silence and static, dread washed over him.
"Y/n?"
Seeing the base come into view, Obi-Wan began to land his ship. Fear, anger and determination coursed through him. He wouldn't believe you were gone, not until he found you. And if- if you were dead, he wouldn't leave you here, not alone.
Obi-Wan managed to get half-way through the base before encountering rebels. After a fight, and a light wound to his arm, he made his way through the base again.
Reaching out with the force, he felt for your presence, any sign of you nearby. Feeling nothing, he felt his heart clench painfully in his chest.
Suddenly, just for a second, he felt a familiar presence, a sort of warmth washed over him, but then it was gone. But it was enough for him as he picked up his pace, and began running.
Finding a small door sort of hidden in a corridor, Obi-Wan knew it would be the sort of place you would go too. Going in silently, his eyes immediately spotted you at the back of the small room and his heart dropped.
You were still, no movement could be seen. Your phaser was lying on the ground beside you, your hands limp and head to the side. Your clothes were soaked with blood, as phaser burns could be seen.
Obi-Wan ran to you taking your face in his hands. He felt relief wash over him. You were still alive, though barely.
He knew it would e dangerous getting you out. He'd have to carry you, but he was not leaving you. Scooping you up into his arms, he made his way out into the corridor. He could hear the sound of footsteps nearby. Taking a breath, he started to run, to get you to safety, so save you.
--- --- ---
You weren't sure how long you had been in the darkness, lost and numb. But slowly, you started to feel as though there was someone in the darkness with you. Like you were underwater and someone was reaching for you, all you needed to do was take their hand.
"Don't go Y/n."
The voice was familiar, but you had trouble placing it. It was warm, it felt safe.
"I'm right here, we're almost out of this, just don't let go."
Suddenly, like a jolt of electricity you realized. It was Obi-Wan. He had come for you after all. But you were sure you were dead. Weren't you?
No. Not yet.
Darkness swallowed you again, but you felt lighter, as though you weren't drowning anymore, but floating, waiting to wake up.
When your eyes finally fluttered open, the room around you was unfamiliar, but the presence beside you was a comforting one.
Obi-Wan stared at you for a moment, surprised by your sudden consciousness. Relief followed quickly though as he leaned forward.
You met his eyes before you spoke, your voice soft "You came for me"
He smiled softly "Of course I did."
"Even though I told you not too."
"Yes"
Your eyes wandered to his arm, which was now in a sling. "You got hurt"
"Yes."
He saw the guilt cross your face and he reached out and placed his hand over the top of yours. You met his eyes again as he spoke.
"It's nothing serious. I got off a lot better than you did. You've been asleep for days."
You looked down at Obi-Wan's hand as it encased yours. "I heard you, talking to me. Telling me to hold on."
Obi-Wan smiled softly. He knew what you were referring too. When he finally got you back to the ship, he reached out to you with the force. He knew there was a connection to the force within you, even if you refused to acknowledge it. That was how you could hear him.
"And you did hold on."
You nodded softly, seemingly lost in thought. Obi-Wan squeezed your hand softly and you looked back to his face. Your eyes remained locked in silence for a moment before he spoke.
"You asked why I cared so much for you" He began, his voice uncertain, knowing the things he wanted to say were meant to stay a secret. Knowing he was going back on his own training and beliefs for simply feeling them.
You shook your head, stopping him "You don't need to tell me Obi-Wan"
Silence fell as your eyes remained locked. You knew how he felt, and he knew how you felt. But that was all it could be. And you both knew it.
In a moment of desperation, before you thought you were going to die, you wanted to hear him say it, just once. But now you were alive, safe again. And those words could no longer be said again.
"It's okay." You said softly, your emotion obvious in your voice "I know."
Obi-Wan smiled, but there was only sadness and regret behind it.
He wanted to tell you so badly, but both of you understood the consequences if he let those emotions take hold of him. You smiled at him, but there was sadness behind it. The same as he held onto.
You both knew how you felt, and you both knew that feeling was worth holing onto, worth saving until you could final feel it freely. But for now, it would remain unsaid.
xx End xx
Not sure how I feel about how this came out, but I hope you enjoyed it!

Obi-Wan slowly slipping under the covers behind you after having to stay with the council until the late hours on Coruscant. Sneaking into your quarters undetected making him feel like he’s a young padawan doing things he’s not supposed to. But he just can’t stay away. You’re letting out soft moans with each breath and all he wants is to enter your mind and find out if you’re dreaming of him. He’s been ready for you since you told him that you’d be expecting him later and leaving him a hot mess in the library. It taking all of his will power to not let out his frustration right there behind the tall book shelves.
Tumblr media
He oh so slowly moves your sleep shorts to the side enough for him to slip inside of you. Oh. You are having a good dream indeed. He’s pressed up so close to you; his nose in the tangles of your hair and his hands pulling you closer by your waist….
😳😳😳 Uhhh excuse me?
Loui. Babes. Sweetheart. Bestie. You can't just hit me with somnophilia without a warning like that!!!!!!
NSFW below cut. Descriptive talk of somnophilia so if that makes you uncomfortable, please skedaddle away. Also, Obi-Wan is a kinky fucker. No you can't change my mind.
Tumblr media
God I can picture this so vividly too. He can't wait to return back into your arms. He walks with the single goal in mind: getting to your quarters in the dead of night without anyone noticing. The good thing is, your rooms aren't far from each other. But the bad thing is, your rooms aren't far from each other...which means, any other Jedi Master on the Council, also returning to their own rooms around this time, might catch him going into yours.
So he has to be even more careful than usual. He takes long strides, but does his best to calm his Force Signature, and the discomfort of the blood running somewhere he wishes wouldn't be such a distraction at the moment. He brings his robes around his front to shield the growing hardness tenting his trousers, only halting in the hurried steps when he reaches your door. It's clear to him that whatever he's experiencing now is similar to when he was a youngling, perhaps even worse, because while he may have snuck out several times during his youth to steal from Master Yoda's favorite fruits, the actions he's close to taking now are much more serious. Obi-Wan does laugh though when he thinks of Master Yoda's reaction if he were to find out what he's doing now. It would not be dissimilar to the way he approached him years ago when he finally found out who was sneaking into the kitchens and hoarding the delicacies.
When he's sure no one is around, and those who were are fast asleep, he pushes the combination to your door in and sneaks inside, the door sliding shut immediately after he enters. Obi-Wan takes a few moments to collect his bearings, and when he finally turns around, he's met with the sight of your calm and content form beneath the soft sheets of your bed. He grimaces to himself when he sees you're wearing clothes, but the reality of the situation overrules his irritation and he undresses in record time. For a brief moment, he thinks of leaving his boxer briefs on, but the sounds and moans you begin to make in your sleep derail whatever thought he just had.
Slipping the last article of clothing down his legs, he approaches you slowly and stands at the foot of your bed for a while, tilting his head to the side when you move to your side and continue to groan in your sleep, a little bit louder than earlier.
Maker, whatever you were dreaming of must have gotten you in a bit of a frenzy.
Not wanting to waste another moment, Obi-Wan walks around and slips behind you, shifting the sheets away from your body until the two of you were exposed to the chill of the night air. He caresses your arms with two fingers, smiling to himself when he sees gooseflesh erupt across your skin. Your breath hitches all of a sudden and Obi-Wan is torn between watching your Force Signature spike in heat and probing your mind so he can have a front row seat of what's getting you so hot and bothered.
He slides his hand beneath your arm and around your navel, digging his fingers into your stomach to bring you as close to him as possible. When your own hand shifts down and holds onto his own like an anchor, his mind is made up almost instantly.
Obi-Wan pushes his nose the space just behind your ear, inhaling deeply as he moves his hand down and pushes one of your thighs higher so he can get better access to your cunt. You oblige with ease, and the Jedi Master feels his cock twitch with excitement at remembering what you said to him earlier today when he was researching something for an upcoming mission in the library.
I can't wait to feel you tonight. It's been so long Obi, and my fingers are nothing compared to your cock.
He teases your slit with the tips of his fingers, groaning your name when he finds you wet and wanting and shaking for him. Pushing your sleep shorts aside, he shuts his eyes to contain himself from coming then and there at the mere prospect of being engulfed by your heat.
I know you'll come late tonight baby. But...I was thinking- even if you do, I...I still want to feel you. Wouldn't you want that too? I could be good for you...all the time. If you just train my body to take you whenever you want, however you need, I could bring you pleasure any time you yearn for release. Even when I'm not even aware I am. Please Obi, let me help you rest. Let me pleasure you in my sleep...it would mean the world to me, knowing that I can serve you at any given moment.
Pushing his nose into your skin one last time, Obi-Wan thrusts his cock into your cunt, growling with desperation when your walls sheath him like the tightest of gloves. He can't move for a few minutes, afraid he would shoot his load deep in your womb if he so much as pushes into you a little bit more. Your sounds only egg him on though, and his breath shakes with sheer anguish at the prospect of pleasing you in return. He roams his hand up and down your body, torn between holding onto your waist as he fucks into you and moving his hand up your body to grope your breasts in his palm. He thinks that if he were to keep them on your waist, he might end up pushing you beneath him and railing into you until you woke up, something neither of you wanted now.
So he slides his hand underneath your night shirt, and he forgets how to breath for a second when he rests his hand above your heart and finds it hammering against him. He's unsure how this should make him feel, if he should feel pride at being the one to cause you such heightened sensations, or if he should feel possessive of the way your body reacts to his touch, even in your unconscious state.
As soon as his fingers grace your nipples and find them achingly hard for him, he decides that he will dwell on that last thought later. For now, he wanted to make you sing for him in your sleep, and push more filthy dreams into your mind so you can feel as fulfilled as he was now.
Focusing all of his energy on not coming prematurely, Obi-Wan bucks his hips and feels a strike of lightning shoot down his spine at the hot, soaking welcoming of your walls. He wants to scream your name, tell you how good you are to him, even when he's not letting go inside of you, but he knows that anyone around will catch a hint of whatever is going on in this room, so he rests his forehead against your shoulder blade and bites his lower lip to quiet down. He moves with determination, pinching your nipples occassionally if only to hear you moan something akin to his name in your sleep or simply groan and take in a harsh breath.
Obi-Wan doesn't know how long he goes on. It feels like a thousand years, his cock nudging a perfect corner inside you that causes you to gush even more around him, coating the bedsheets beneath you with more of your juices as proof of his ability to pleasure you even when you're not asking him to do anything. But as the need for release grows, he realizes that he must have you cum on his cock before he does, because he's not sure what would happen if he were to shoot his seed inside you and you were left hanging in your sleep. He wanted you to experience rapture as he was now, and before he can think twice of what he's doing, he slips his hand down in between your thighs and shoves his fingers inside your sleep shorts, quickly flicking your clit as he increases his thrusts and feels your walls clenching around him.
He opens his eyes in time to look at your damp neck, and with a few more flicks to your engorged bundle of nerves, he watches as you descend into ecstasy, your Force Signature singing his name louder than he thought even possible in such a state. He wants to wake you, warn you of what would happen if anyone found out, but he can't find it in himself to ruin your orgasm, so he pushes and pushes until he feels a blaster hit his stomach, his cock twitching violently in your cunt as he shoots his load and paints your walls for what feels like minutes.
He throws his head back against the pillow, but doesn't let go of you or pull away, and only when he comes to his senses do his eyes shoot open in panic. He listens, and listens....and listens some more, for any sign of anyone around knowing what just happened. When nothing out of the ordinary draws his attention, he thanks the Maker that he can remain where he is now instead of getting up and doing damage control.
As he sits up on his elbow and looks down at you, he finds your eyebrows furrowed, as if you were focusing on something really hard for a long time and weren't able to do it. Roaming his eyes down your body, he finds your nails digging into his forearms, your breaths coming in hot and ragged. Obi-Wan laughs to himself because of course you wanted more of him even in your sleep. The thought warms his heart because to know that you only ever thought of him, even in your unconscious state, is to have lived within the Force itself.
Even though he knows he should clean the two of you, he doesn't dare move, and instead returns flush behind you, giving your clit a few, teasing rubs to feel your cunt flutter around him once more before resting.
Hmm, tomorrow morning was certainly going to be interesting.

Kinktober Day 26
Day Twenty-Five | 🌹Kinktober Masterlist🌹 | Day Twenty-Seven
Tumblr media
Pairing: Sith!Obi-Wan Kenobi x Apprentice!Reader
Rating: Explicit - 18+ Only. Any minors interacting with ANY of these Kinktober prompts will be blocked
Notes: I'm hecking nervous about this one, too 😅 This uhhh this was not the plan for today. But here we are.
Warnings: Sith Master!Obi-Wan; Sith Apprentice!Reader; Power imbalance; Force-choking; deep-throating; grinding; masturbation; choking (without the Force); degradation
Tumblr media
You twist against the bounds of the Force, grunting in frustration. You can’t raise your arm, and you strain to move your fingers, to summon your lightsaber from where it’s fallen just a few feet away. The Force loosens, and you drop to the floor with a groan, wincing as your knees slam against the floor.
“Are you through?”
“No, Master,” You swear.
“Then why are you still on the floor.” 
Obi-Wan’s dismissive tone cut through you, drifting past you toward the door. You curl your hand into fist, pounding it against the floor before you spring up, your hand shooting out. Your lightsaber smacks into your palm, flickering to life as you raise it. Before you can land a proper blow, Obi-Wan’s stops yours. The force of his parry makes you stumble, sending you backward. You regain your footing, raising your lightsaber to strike—but with every blow that he levels, you find yourself forced further and further into playing defense. Your back hits the wall as your lightsaber is knocked from your hand again. You feel the Force pinning your hands to the wall, and your gaze drops to Obi’s hand. It’s slightly extended, and you thrill at the fact that he hardly has to exert himself to restrain you. He loosens his grip again, shaking his head as he heads for the door.
“We’ll resume tomorrow.” 
You push yourself off of the wall, unsteady, but determined. 
“We’re not done,” You argue.
“You won’t win.” 
“Don’t turn your back on me—Coward!” 
You know immediately that it’s a mistake. It stills him in his step, and you find yourself as intrigued as you are panicked. The air seems to crackle as Obi-Wan turns back toward you, his jaw tight, and his dark and eyes narrowed with rage. You open your mouth to speak again, but gasp as pressure closes in around your neck, forcing you against the wall. You fight to keep your eyes on Obi-Wan’s, your irritation giving way to arousal as he silently stalks closer. You force your arms up, trying to summon your lightsaber again, but he knocks your wrist aside.
You swallow thickly, face twisted in frustration you fight against the Force. Obi-Wan stops toe-to-toe with you, his chest brushing yours. His gaze sweeps your face before he leans in. Your eyes lower to eye his dark robes, your breath catching as you feel the tip of his nose brush your cheekbone. 
“Look at you,” He murmurs, tipping his head to the side; the bristle of his beard against your cheek makes your stomach flip. “Pathetic…Weak. It’s almost precious to watch you struggle.”
You shiver as he presses closer, your body going hot at his purred taunts.
“You like it, don’t you,” He adds, his breath brushing against your ear. “I see how you fight for it. I know that you are more powerful than you appear, but you make these…Silly little mistakes. For what? For this?” 
You choke out a moan as you feel the Force tighten for just a moment before it loosens again. Obi-Wan tuts softly, shaking his head. 
“If you challenge me, you need to be ready for all that comes with it. Do you understand?” 
“Yes, Master.” 
“Do you?” He chuckles cruelly. “You can hardly keep your lightsaber in your hand—Ah, ah…” The pressure tightens around your neck again as you try to press closer to him, “Temper, temper.” 
He tips his chin up, staring down his nose at you. 
“What you want…Is beyond the bounds of what you have known. Can you handle what comes with it?” 
“I can, Master.” 
He hums speculatively, nodding slowly. 
“We shall see.” 
--
You can’t breathe. Your throat spasms around Obi-Wan's cock, your nails digging into his thighs as you struggle against the hold that he has on the back of your neck, and the shove of his hips. It’s another blinding, head-splitting moment before he lets you pull away. You draw in a thick, greedy breath, coughing wetly as peer up at Obi, your eyes tearing. He strokes his fingers along your nape, the sweet feeling making your lashes flutter for just a moment—
Until he shoves you back down. Your jaw goes slack, aching from exertion as you take him between your lips again. You press closer, shuffling your knees against the floor as he reclines in his seat. You press your thighs together, savoring the aching throb as you messily swipe your tongue against his thick shaft. You shiver as the top of his boot catches against your clothed, slick pussy, and you can’t help but press slightly against the crinkling leather. He scoffs above you, pressing his leg between your thighs. 
“Look at you,” He coos, “You desperate little slut…Humping my leg like a charhound in heat.” 
You whimper around him, driving your hips forward into the pressure. You bob your head, swirling your tongue messily along the shaft. You brace again as Obi-Wan holds your head down, his groans filling your ears as you struggle and gag. He lets go just long enough for you to catch your breath before immediately pushing you back down. His hips bound up against you, and you aren’t given a word of warning as he cums. You surrender to it, desperately trying to swallow. When you can’t, you draw off of his cock and raise your hand. You gather the spit and cum that have slipped and swipe your fingers through them before sliding your hand beneath your trousers. 
The first slick, heated touch to your clit makes you moan aloud. Obi-Wan hinges forward in the chair and leans over you, spreading the remainder of the mess across your face before sliding his hand around your throat. You press into the hot feeling of his palm and fingers as he squeezes. His gaze is heavy on yours as your eyelids flutter, your hips driving into your touch as you chase the pressure building between your thighs, even as your head seems to throb. His grip tightens, his face twisted into a snarl as you pant desperately. 
“M-More,” You plead, whimpering as you feel the added pressure of the Force beneath his palm. Your mouth parts as you pant, your vision beginning to crowd with spots. 
“Master...Obi—" Your eyes roll into the back of your head, hand faltering as you struggle to draw in a breath—
You fall to the floor as he releases you, your hips jolting as you cum. Your fingers still move on auto-pilot; your head pounds, still reeling from the restraint. You draw in a greedy breath, watching stars dance in your vision as you stare at the ceiling. You swallow thickly as you settle, the blood still roaring in your ears. Your head lolls to the side a touch as you see Obi-Wan stand, and watch him straighten his trousers. He forgoes his tunic as he stands over you, his eyes sweeping down your body. 
“...Dress,” He counsels, “And leave. We’ll resume in the morning.” 
“Yes, Master.”

On the Streets of Coruscant: Part Two
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Obi-Wan x Fem!Reader
Read Part One (posted on my old account @persephone-writes2)
Obi-Wan image by ObmanBalagan on pinterest
Description: Over a decade after their spontaneous stroll around the Plaza, Y/N is working as an aide to Senator Amidala. When the Senator is placed under the protection of two Jedi after an assassination attempt, Y/N is reunited with the now Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Word Count: 9.7k
Warnings & Tags: canon typical violence/the assassination attempts of Padme (mentioned only), mild discussions of low self esteem, reader specifically does *not* have children, probably a crap ton of grammatical errors, lots of Y/N usage, fluff, kissing, happy ending!
Notes: Sooo, full warning, I hate this, but I'm posting it anyway! This takes place during Attack of the Clones, so I had to change a few things around to fit in the reader (some things just happen because I said so lol) This also means that I HAD to include Jar Jar. I attempted at writing dialogue for him but I just couldn't bring myself to, so I tried my best to just have him barely be there lmao. Also, mullet obi-wan is top tier and I will die on that hill
Y/N clicked away on her holopad, attempting to get through the pile of work that had been dumped on her that morning.  While her job was always demanding, and sometimes overwhelming, this was the busiest she had been in a long time.  With Senator Amidala set to arrive on Coruscant today amidst an increasingly intense political climate, Y/N was tasked with taking what seemed like hundreds of messages, thoroughly organizing and answering every one.  While Padmé had an array of other aides to help her, Y/N was the head of her office on Coruscant, leaving her with the majority of the responsibility when she was on-planet, besides that of Dormé. 
Despite her spinning head, Y/N adored her job, as well as Senator Amidala.  She had worked in a variety of low level positions for different Senators, many of which were not nearly as kind.  No matter how much pressure she faced, Padmé never spoke harshly or berated those who worked for her.  Y/N couldn’t imagine how exhausting it must be to represent an entire planet, all while keeping up a professional appearance.  Outside of her office, Padmé had to seem relaxed, dignified, and confident no matter what she was up against.  At least Y/N didn’t have to face the wrath of the public or the argumentative nature of the Senate.  Always tucked away inside the office, Y/N could plug away at her work without the eyes of thousands upon her at any given time. 
Another aide knocked on the door of the office before entering, peeking his head in. 
“The Senator is landing.”
“Thank you,” Y/N replied, frantically pulling up the most urgent messages in preparation.  The aide hurried away down the hall, the door closing behind him.  After a few minutes, a guard came running down the hall, opening the door abruptly.  Y/N jumped at the sudden intrusion, growing fearful when she saw the look on his face. 
“The Senator’s ship has been attacked,” the guard said, a bit out of breath.  Y/N felt her stomach drop, dread rushing through her. 
“Is she alright?” Y/N asked, voice desperate. Before he could answer, Captain Typho pushed past him, leading Padmé into the room.  Her face was contorted in sadness and confusion, obviously still in shock.  She wasn’t wearing her usual attire, dressed identically to Typho in a dark turtleneck and leather vest.  She immediately sat down in one of the chairs, head hung low.  
A wave of relief came over Y/N knowing Padmé was okay.  She immediately rushed to her, kneeling down beside her chair. 
“Milady, are you alright?” Padmé only nodded.  Y/N looked up at Captain Typho, who was pacing around the room. “What happened?”
“I don’t know,” he said, eyes darting around in thought. “Someone bombed the ship.”
For a moment, Y/N stared out into space, swallowing thickly before she stood.  
“Milady,” Typho began, to which Padmé lifted her head, “We must get you somewhere safer.”
She nodded, standing up and taking a deep breath.  Her composure was regained, and Y/N marveled at the speed to which she recovered from such a terrifying incident.  She turned to Y/N, eyes determined. 
“Y/N, send me all the necessary documents for the vote,” she paused, turning to Typho, “We shall go to my apartment.”
“Yes, milady,” Y/N answered.  Typho then led Padmé from the room, Y/N immediately returning to her desk to get to work once again.  
A few hours later, Y/N received a message from the Captain that she would be meeting with the Chancellor and would not be returning to the Senate today.  Further, Y/N was to meet Padmé at her apartment to discuss a series of negotiation plans which Y/N had been organizing.  Y/N was no stranger to working in the Senator’s apartment, having done so on many late nights when Padmé refused to get some rest.  However, it had never been under such circumstances.   
Later in the afternoon, Padmé’s team sent a transport for her along with a guard.  Y/N thought it was overkill, as no one was after a random aide, but she didn’t make too much of a fuss about it.  No one could stop Padmé from worrying about her team, especially after some of them likely died in the attack.  As the transport flew through the busy city, Y/N peered out of the window, wondering who could have been behind the explosion.  Padmé had many adversaries, though it surprised Y/N that any one of them would attempt to assassinate her.  The Separatist movement had uprooted nearly every system, turning the Senate into more of a battle ground than ever before.  Even so, war had not broken out yet, and all Y/N could do was hope that it wouldn’t resort to that.
Pulling up to the apartment, Y/N was escorted by the guard all the way up the glass turbolift, exposed to the city.  Stepping in, she remembered the first time she had been called here, unable to pull her eyes away from the city growing smaller as she ascended.  
As the turbolift doors opened, she immediately heard the happy voice of Jar Jar Binks.  While she thought it strange for someone to be excited at a time like this, it was hard to tamper Jar Jar’s spirits.  The guard led her into the apartment, where she saw Padmé sitting on one of the long sofas.  She was clothed her usual fashion, hair in an updo, wearing a wide skirt dress with long flowing sleeves.  Although Padmé looked good in almost anything, it was a small relief to see her back to her normal self.  Captain Typho was standing a few feet away, with Dormé sitting beside Padmé.  On the sofa opposite sat two men who Y/N instantly recognized as Jedi.  Working for the Senate, Y/N had seen her fair share of Jedi over the years, though their presence usually didn’t bring good news.  Of course, today wasn’t the day for good news anyhow. 
Padmé stopped speaking, spotting Y/N as she walked into the room.  She turned to smile at her, which Y/N returned easily.  The other’s followed Padmé’s gaze, and Y/N grew a bit nervous at the attention.  Her eyes went to the two Jedi, now given a clear view of their faces.  The one sitting closest had short, cropped brown hair and the braid of a padawan falling across his shoulder.  He appeared slightly annoyed, and Y/N wondered if she had intruded upon an important conversation she was not meant to be a part of.  Her gaze drifted to the other Jedi, whose hair was on the longer side and a light copper in color.  His beard was short and neatly trimmed, though there was still an air about him that was rugged, ever so slightly ruffled.  After her brief first impression, the realization hit Y/N with a full, intense force.  Her heart sped up significantly as she thought back to over ten years ago when she had met a Jedi at a nightclub. 
Before Y/N could make any sort of reaction, Padmé stood, followed by the others.  
“Y/N,” she said kindly, walking over to greet her. 
“Senator,” Y/N said in return, bowing.
Jar Jar happily pranced over and shook Y/N’s hand, telling her it was nice to see her again.  Y/N chuckled at his enthusiasm before turning back to Padmé. 
“This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his padawn, Anakin Skywalker,” she introduced.  Y/N was forced to look at the two Jedi, feeling heat rush up her spine and into her face.  She had no idea if she should acknowledge that they knew each other, or pretend they were strangers.  Obi-Wan reached out his hand to shake hers, a small, polite smile on his lips.  She took it wearily, forcing herself to make eye contact.  It was easier to shake the padawan’s hand, who only nodded at her. 
Now that she was closer to Obi-Wan, she stole a look at him from the corner of her eye.  He was just as handsome as he was when they first met, perhaps even more handsome.  His face was not boyish as it had been, now more mature, his features stronger and more pronounced.  The buzz that once existed all around him was settled, but not completely gone.  Remnants of it remained in his eyes, which still held their playful shine.  Suddenly, Y/N grew self conscious of her appearance.  She was older than she had been, no longer the young girl she once was.  It was hard for her to know how different she truly looked, as she had watched herself slowly age over many years.  Her clothes as well were more mature, or rather refined.  She realized that Obi-Wan had only seen her in her party clothes, never something professional, clean-cut, more simple.  Her rapid thoughts were interrupted by Padmé, who went on to introduce her.
“This is Y/N L/N, my leading aide on Coruscant,” Padmé said.  Obi-Wan let out a small laugh at her words, earning a confused look from Padmé.  His laugh was a bit deeper than it was all those years ago, but it held the same lightness and ease. 
“We’ve met,” he said, accent still smooth, “a long time ago.”
Y/N smiled sheepishly, knowing that Obi-Wan was looking at her face.  Padmé appeared pleasantly surprised, Anakin raising his brows at his Master. 
“You have?” Padmé asked, smiling at Y/N.  
Y/N nodded, trying to think of what to say.  Obi-Wan saved her, speaking before anyone could ask questions. 
“I was still a padawan then,” Obi-Wan said, light hearted without giving anything away.  Anakin looked suspiciously towards Y/N, but wiped his face quickly when she noticed. 
“This is the day of reacquaintance,” Padmé said, pleased with the surprise. Y/N gave her a confused look, and she laughed a bit, realizing her mistake. “I met Master Kenobi and Anakin ten years ago, when I was Queen.”
Y/N nodded. “I see,” was all she could think to say.  
“You must excuse us,” Padmé began, “We have much work to do.”
“It was lovely to meet you,” Y/N said to Anakin.  She then looked to Obi-Wan, mind reeling. “And it’s nice to see you again.”  She then left to follow Padmé and Dormé, cheeks burning.  
Y/N spent the afternoon into the evening with Padmé and Dormé, going over documents and discussing her next moves.  Y/N did most of the clerical work, leaving the politics to Padmé and Dormé, who knew the ins and outs.  Although Y/N had picked up a lot, she still felt overwhelmed by the current climate and all its complexities.  The whole time, she was hyper aware that Obi-Wan was in the other room, doing who knows what.  
As the evening fell, Padmé excused Y/N, asking her to return tomorrow morning.  She was thankful, as the eventful day had her tired, as surely Padmé was as well.  At least she knew that Padmé would take it easy for the rest of the night, forgoing any further work until morning. Exiting the room, holopad in hand, Y/N saw Anakin and Obi-Wan talking on the balcony.  She hoped they wouldn’t notice her, allowing her to slip out quietly, though the chances of this were likely slim.  In all honesty, she had no idea how she would handle being so close to Obi-Wan for the foreseeable future, unable to acknowledge the circumstance of their last meeting and pretending as if they hadn’t gone on a romantic escapade.  
Perhaps feeling her eyes upon his back, Anakin turned, catching Y/N staring.  To her surprise, he gave her a small smile, which she anxiously returned before whipping her head forward.  She walked quickly to the turbolift, hoping that somehow Obi-Wan would remain ignorant of her growing uncertainty. 
Her alarm blared and she hastily reached over to turn off the cacophony of noise.  She laid in bed for a quiet moment, still groggy but remembering the events of the day prior.  She groaned upon the realization that she’d be forced to face Obi-Wan, all with the intent not to embarrass herself.  She envied his even manner which gave nothing away, not letting anyone know of their odd history.  As she pondered over this, she felt a pang in her heart at the thought that Obi-Wan was completely unaffected by her presence.  Yes, Y/N had a series of relationships since her single, solitary kiss with Obi-Wan, but that didn’t take away from the fact that she was entirely unprepared to ever see him again.  Until now, Obi-Wan was a fleeting yet meaningful moment in her life, one which Y/N would look back on every once in a while with an immature sadness.  The thought of him, someone who was so kind, so bright, so considerate, unable to form any romantic attachments, was poignant to say the least.  When this kind of thinking arose, she’d kick herself for giving it the time of day.  You only met him once, you only kissed once, what's the big deal?
Y/N got ready for the day with the intent of forgetting about Obi-Wan, focusing on the far more pressing matters.  Today would likely consist of setting up calls with many different Senators, some of which would want to discuss the recent attack, others who would simply want to argue about the motion to create an army.  Further, Y/N had no clue how long Senator Amidala would stay on-planet, so she would have to get to organizing all she could before she was off somewhere else.  As she brushed her teeth, Y/N stared at her reflection in the mirror, paying far too much attention to how she looked.  Just as she had sworn off thinking about Obi-Wan, the image of herself brought back feelings of insecurity.  She couldn’t stop herself from wondering what Obi-Wan thought when he first saw her again, thinking that perhaps his placidity came from the fact that he no longer found her attractive.  Although she tried to brush the thought of him away, she didn’t stop herself from putting on her best work-appropriate outfit.  
In a kind gesture, Padmé sent a speeder to pick Y/N up from her apartment, again accompanied by a guard.  She made small talk with him on the way to Padmé’s in an aim to calm her nerves, which despite all her efforts still bubbled beneath the surface.  When Y/N arrived, she saw Padmé and Dormé sitting opposite each other in the seating area, multiple holopads and projections on the table between them.  Off to the side, Obi-Wan and Anakin stood, Anakin seeming on guard and brewing with energy.  Padmé looked up from her work, waving Y/N over to sit with them. 
“There was another attack,” Padmé said, voice even and calculated, “I’m leaving for Naboo tomorrow.”
“Why not today, milady?” Y/N asked, full of concern. 
“I must leave on an unregistered transport, it will take some time to organize,” Padmé explained.  Seeing Y/N’s worries, she placed a hand on her shoulder for reassurance. “I will be alright, Anakin will be with me.”
Y/N nodded, feeling a bit better.  She wondered why Obi-Wan would not be joining her, though didn’t ask.  
“In the meantime, we must get as much done as we can.  I doubt I will be able to work much in hiding.”
With that, they all got to work.  Y/N was mostly silent, leaving Dormé and Padmé to talk over the majority of her decisions.  Padmé received a warm call from Senator Organa, who extended any help to her that he could offer.  Y/N never had the chance to work under him, though she expected it would be much like working for Padmé.  To Y/N, they seemed to be the only two honest and truly kind politicians in the galaxy, setting them in stark contrast to the increasingly unscrupulous nature of the Senate at large.  Amidst the growing chaos, Y/N hardly paid attention to the two Jedi guarding the apartment. 
Some time that morning, Padmé decided to move to a different room which housed a large table so that they could spread out more.  Y/N was off to the side, plugging away as usual, happy that her responsibilities seemed mild in comparison to Padmé and Dormé’s.  
Y/N hadn’t even noticed that they had worked well into midday, brought up from her work when Dormé suggested they break for a short lunch.  They were all left with a little free time, as it would take a bit for the chef to prepare their meals.  That was one thing Y/N loved about working at Padmé’s apartment; the chef.  Padmé and Dormé left the room as Y/N finished the last few sentences of her address to another Senatorial aide, sighed deeply as she sent it along. 
Walking into the main living space, she found Padmé standing beside one of the long floor to ceiling windows speaking to Anakin.  Padmé’s smile was calm, and for the first time in a while she seemed genuinely relieved.  If Y/N didn't know better, it looked as though Padmé and Anakin were close, long time friends, used to seeing one another.  Her eyes were taken away from the pair, drifting to Obi-Wan who was pouring over something on his holopad.  He too appeared incredibly natural, though tense in the shoulders.  If it weren’t for his robes, he could've been just another aide hard at work. 
Y/N lazily walked over to the balcony, pushing open the large glass doors and feeling the cool air of Coruscant brush against her face.  She sighed with contentment, taking in the view of the city from such a great height.  It wasn’t often that she was so high like this, nearly above the clouds.  It was as close to peaceful as she’s had in a while, not since her last visit to Corellia several years ago.  A few minutes passed, Y/N’s mind wandering to the various tasks which still needed to be done before Padmé left for Naboo. 
She was interrupted by the sound of the door opening behind her.  She glanced back, expecting to see Dormé or perhaps Padmé, only to find that it was Obi-Wan.  Her heart rate picked up as she took in his regal appearance, robes tidy and neatly tucked.  He smiled softly as if to ask permission to join her.  She returned it the best she could, trying to push her nerves down.  He came up beside her near the railing and looked out, sighing to himself. Y/N couldn’t bring herself to peek at him, fearful that her emotions would too clearly show upon her face. 
“I’m glad to see you working in the profession you wanted,” Obi-Wan said, voice abundantly friendly, yet somewhat professional in nature.  Y/N bravely glanced at him with a kind expression, genuinely pleased that he remembered. 
“Yes, I am too,” she paused, realizing that unlike before, it wouldn’t be awkward to mention his profession. “And now you’re a Master, with a padawan of your own.  Congratulations,” she said honestly. 
He chuckled, “Thank you.”  Obi-Wan shifted his weight to one foot, turning to look at her profile. “Truly, I am pleased to see you again.”
“I’m a bit surprised you remembered me,” she let slip, growing a bit more comfortable with the exchange.  Her teasing earned another small chuckle from him.
“I don’t easily forget,” was all he said in return, leaning an elbow on the railing. 
Y/N fully turned towards him, met with the same face she saw that night in the club as they both stood at the bar.  Now, his jaw was partially obscured by a beard.  She thought it suited him, as did his longer hair.  She wanted to tell him so, but decided against it, not wanting to break what felt like a fragile moment. 
“I’ve since visited Corellia,” Obi-Wan began again, tone still light. 
Y/N smiled at him, brows slightly raised. “You did?”
“Yes, though as you might expect, I was occupied most of the time.  However, it did not disappoint.”
Y/N realized he was very much still the same, though perhaps more subtle in his cheekiness. 
“I’ve been back as well, though only a few times. It’s still as boring as I remembered,” she joked. 
“Now, I am sure you are longing for boredom as well.”
Something electric shot through her with his words, reminding her more and more of that night.  It appeared as though Obi-Wan did not lie; he does not easily forget.  A small seed of innocent, foolish hope made its way into her heart.  Had he thought about me since then, as I did him?  She quickly reprimanded herself, shaking her head to clear the thought away. 
“You’re right,” she sighed, “For the Senator’s sake rather than mine.”
Obi-Wan paused, not replying for a moment. Y/N couldn’t stop herself from wondering what was going on inside his mind, which puzzle pieces he was trying to fit together.  She had no clue who was attempting to assassinate Padmé, too many possibilities floating around to grasp.  However, she was sure Obi-Wan had a much better idea than herself. 
“It’s a tricky business we both are in, though all things important are difficult.”
Once again, she was infatuated with his wisdom, which had only grown. 
“I bet you are a wonderful master to Anakin.” 
He took the compliment well, not as bashful as he once was. “Thank you, Y/N,” he said her name warmly, resurfacing a slurry of emotions she didn’t know still existed.  All at once she felt ten years younger, enraptured with her name said in his accent, in his voice.  
“I mean it, really.  I could hardly imagine trying to lead someone, teach them what I know.  The whole thought of it makes me feel like I know nothing,” she was letting more and more of her feelings slip, far more than she originally intended.  This morning, she had vowed to be wholly professional, to focus on the job she had to do, not to get caught up in buried emotions.  However, there was something about Obi-Wan’s presence that made her too free with her words.  It was the same way over ten years ago, where she found herself spilling her guts to an almost stranger.  If he stuck around any longer, one of these days she might just get herself into real trouble.
“I’m sure you could, if given the chance.  It takes courage to come to a new place, to build a new life.  That is something you know far more about than I.”  There he went again, melting her from the inside out. 
“Perhaps, and I’d have to bet I’d beat you in a typing contest,” she jested.  
Obi-Wan let out a hearty laugh, unconstricted and full, “I believe you are right.”
The conversation lulled, with Y/N unsure what to say.  Her guards were still up, despite the fact that they were steadily lowering against her will.  She wondered how much she could get away with addressing, which facts were off limits and which were okay to mention.  Obi-Wan seemed to be perfectly comfortable with speaking about everything but the kiss, though she didn’t want to push her luck.  
She settled on something simple, something pertaining to the here and now. “I’m happy Anakin will accompany the Senator, I’m sure she will be safe in his presence.”
Obi-Wan nodded slowly, glancing down for a moment. “His eagerness often worries me, though it may serve him well with his task,” Obi-Wan said. 
“A product of youth,” she commented, amused at the thought of Obi-Wan having to deal with the antics of a young man.  She thought that perhaps once, Obi-Wan had done the same to his Master. 
“Unavoidable, I’m afraid,” Obi-Wan replied effortlessly, turning to look at her face once again.  She felt bare under his gaze, as if he could see through her every shield, each mask she wore.  
“I’m sure with your guidance he will grow into an exemplary Jedi.  I don’t think you could mold him into anything less.” Her flattery was not lost on Obi-Wan, whose ardent smile felt like a flowering bruise, a reminder of his oxymoronic, sweet rejection.  
“Your faith in me surpasses that of myself,” he retorted frivolously, making Y/N chuckle.  After a pause, Obi-Wan spoke again, “How long have you worked for Senator Amidala?”
Y/N thought for a moment, adding up the years in her head. “About four years now.  I hope to work for her as long as she’ll let me.  She is by far the kindest boss I’ve ever had,” she laughed a bit with the thought of begging Padmé to let her stay, offering to do anything but go back to working with the other Senators. 
Obi-Wan smiled to himself, eyes darting around the skyline. “She is a rarity, no doubt.”
“I’m sure you have worked with a fair few Senators.  You must know how…difficult they can be.”
Obi-Wan chuckled with a sigh, seeming surprised by her admission. “Yes, I know what you mean.”
Without thinking, Y/N said what was on her mind, letting it pass through her filters as if it were a smuggler, “I’m glad you have not lost your sense of humor.”
“I need it to deal with Anakin,” he joked, now his turn to surprise Y/N.  
She couldn’t stop herself from giggling girlishly, placing a hand over her mouth.  She glanced at him from the corner of her eye, seeing a mildly devilish look on his face.  
“Your sharp tongue must get you into trouble sometimes,” she teased, pushing the limits a bit further.  
Obi-Wan tilted his head a bit, shrugging slightly. “It only appears amongst friends.”
Friends. The word danced around her head, bouncing all the way to her chest, pulsing against her heartbeat.  She thought that perhaps he was humoring her, throwing her a bone.  He couldn’t possibly think of her as a friend, could he?  Technically, they’ve only known each other a total of three days, which was far too soon to be friends.  Acquaintances, yes.  Friends? No.  While Y/N struggled with the idea that he might just be indulging her, she was suddenly reminded of a detail of their first encounter, one which she played over and over in her head the days following: I should not have allowed myself such an indulgence.  
Obi-Wan glanced back through the glass door, then back to Y/N, who didn’t notice his staring. “Do you still see those whom I met that night?” he asked.
It took a second for Y/N to understand what he meant, remembering he probably never got their names. “Oh, yes, I do.  Well, some of them.  I still see Ripp, whose father owned the club.”
Obi-Wan nodded, chuckling to himself, “They seemed like a lively bunch.”
Y/N laughed, thinking back to the times they had together while in school. “Yes, they were.  Thankfully, we are all doing quite well for ourselves now.”
“I’d say so,” Obi-Wan said genuinely, eyes soft.  
Y/N looked down, unable to meet his gaze. “Did you ever find that man?”
“I believe we did,” it sounded almost like a question, as if he wasn’t quite sure.  
Y/N wanted to comment on the fact that he had told her he doesn’t forget things, but thought that it might come out wrong.  Instead, she focused on the vast expanse of skyscrapers and traffic in front of her.  She could sense Obi-Wan looking at her profile, resurfacing her nerves. 
“You have not lost your wonder,” he said gently, almost a whisper.  Suddenly, she could not stop herself from looking at him, met with his tender expression.  His words confused her, throwing her off the delicate footing she had found herself on.  Her mind raced with endless possibilities, attempting to decide what he expected her to do, what he wanted her to say in return.  
With her breath caught in her throat, she said the only thing that came to mind, “Neither have you.”
He smiled, the kind of smile that seemed too intimate for their odd relationship.  Y/N felt honored to have been on the receiving end of such a smile, especially from Obi-Wan.  The gesture made her weak, pathetically chasing another look like that, completely insatiable.  Amending her earlier thought, Y/N decided that if he stuck around, her truthfulness would not be the only thing to get her in trouble.  It seemed as though there were a million things Obi-Wan could get her to do or say with a simple look towards her or a single suggestion.  It wasn’t because he was charming or persuasive, or even because he was handsome.  No, it was because he listened to her so intently, spoke to her so kindly, and seemed to remember insignificant details from a night which occurred so long ago. 
Y/N fought the urge to reach out and touch this cheek, or at least his arm.  She yearned to feel something which solidified his presence in front of her, anything to tell her he was real and not a ghost conjured up from her memory.  His eyes would have to do for now, sparkling against the midday light, so beautiful Y/N couldn’t possibly have dreamt them.  
“I envy your opinion of me,” Obi-Wan said, still soft but with an air of jest, “But I feel you may be wrong.”
She shook her head instantly, bewildered by his statement.  She wondered how he could possibly think that about himself, while at the same time saying such kind things about herself. 
He laughed quietly, taking his eyes from her.  Mourning the loss of their clear blue color, Y/N stayed staring at face, wanting to soak up every second she had with him on the balcony, where everything seemed simple. 
“I don’t believe that for a second,” she countered.  
He glanced at her with a playful smirk. “For a moment I thought you had grown a bit more shy, but I see that I was wrong.”
She chuckled, feeling embarrassed by his words.  Her whole body was burning hot, despite the high altitude breeze that came whipping past.   
“I’ve just learned when to hold my tongue,” she joked, relaxing a bit as the intensity of the moment began to lift. 
“I only wish Anakn had your skills,” he sounded serious, but Y/N could tell he was joking by his upturned lips and the crinkle on the corners of his eyes.  His sarcasm was new, though it did not feel unnatural, for his wit had always been sharp as a blade.  Y/N giggled to herself, thinking of Obi-Wan talking to his padawan, pestering him with father-like nagging. 
“Something amusing?” Obi-Wan teased, though played it off as if it was a genuine question.  
She shook her head. “No, no,” she faltered for a moment, chuckling to herself, “Are all Jedi as funny as you?”
Obi-Wan sighed as if to think it over, “Perhaps, if you get to know them.” As Y/N was beginning to get caught up in his hidden meaning, he spoke again, “Are all Senatorial aides as diligent as yourself?”
His question caught her a bit off guard, and she wondered if he had peeked into the room and seen her working.  The idea sent butterflies soaring in her belly. 
“No,” she laughed, “But it’s easy to be devoted when Senator Amidala is leading you.”
“You think quite highly of her,” Obi-Wan said a bit curiously.
“Yes,” she answered without thought, “I do.”
“I know how much of a gift it can be to be led by such an admirable example,” Obi-Wan said, voice a bit far off. 
“You’re thinking of your master?” she asked hesitantly, hoping not to overstep her bounds.  Obi-Wan nodded, though his smile had faded.  His eyes, too, were not as bright as they were before.  “I’m sorry, if you don’t want to talk about it-” she rambled, fearing the worst.  
Obi-Wan gave her a sad smile, but his face soon turned neutral. “It’s quite alright.  He died many years ago,” he confessed.  Y/N felt a devastating privilege to have received such an admission, surprised that he gave it so freely.  
“Oh,” she said without thinking, “I’m so sorry, Obi-Wan. I didn’t know.”
“How could you,” he said, unperturbed, the sadness on his face all but washed away.  She wondered where he got his resilience, so that she could get some for herself. 
“He was a good man, and a fine Jedi,” Obi-Wan began again, sounding as if he was speaking only to himself.  Y/N clung to every word, hanging on tightly to anything he chose to tell her. “Though he was a bit more like Anakin than myself.”
Y/N smiled, which soon turned into a grin when Obi-Wan gave her a mischievous sideways glance. “Just think of it as practice.” 
“Yes,” he chuckled, pausing for a moment, “I was lucky to have him, as I am lucky to have Anakin as my padawan,” his tone was deeply warm and full of love.  
Y/N couldn’t believe that he so readily told her about his life in this way, how openly he shared small, intimate details.  While his words alone were not particularly notable, the way he said them told her that he was bearing little pieces of his innermost world.  She wondered how many people were lucky enough to see him like this, punishing herself for assuming that she was special in some way.  Perhaps he was always this open, this unfettered in conversation.  Regardless, she craved a deeper look, even if it was just a peek like a sliver of light coming through a slightly open door.  
After her internal gushing over Obi-Wan’s divulgence, she noticed him looking somewhat hesitant.  It was the first time he faltered since their reintroduction, his expression seeming foreign and unlike his usual self, although Y/N couldn’t deny that she wasn’t the leading expert on the matter.  She cocked her head, flashing him a confused look. 
“What?” she asked, clueless as to what he was thinking. 
He looked down reticently, quickly bringing his eyes back to hers without any shyness.  “Do you have children of your own?” he said it innocently, as if he wasn’t nervous at all.  
Thinking perhaps she had misread his expression, Y/N laughed a bit at the question, “No, I do not.”
“Then you are free of that particular headache,” he chuckled, and Y/N laughed along.
“I can barely take care of myself,” she joked.
“You doubt yourself far too often,” Obi-Wan paused, watching her face, “and ignore how far you have come.”
His kindness spread through her like the tranquil waters of Corellia she used to swim in during the summer months, waves falling in a steady ebb and flow.  She sighed, staring at her hands which rested on the railing.  What could she possibly say to him, what words could express what she felt while also concealing the attraction which had begun to float to the surface?
Before she could think of a reply, Dormé opened the door, causing each of them to turn. 
“Our meal is ready,” she said with a small smile.
“Thank you, Dormé,” Y/N replied, heading back into the apartment with Obi-Wan following behind.  Padmé was already sitting at the table, along with Anakin.  Y/N and Dormé sat down opposite the pair. 
“Join us, Obi-Wan,” Padmé offered.  
Obi-Wan looked a bit hesitant.  “I’ll keep guard, milady,” he said, walking over to the entrance near the turbolift. 
“Captain Typho is on watch,” Padmé insisted, “Please, come eat.”
Obi-Wan sighed, giving in quickly to Padmé’s request.  He took a seat beside Anakin, directly in front of Y/N.  She grew a bit nervous, forced to face him directly, but her attention was diverted as the meals were placed on the table. 
“So, how did you two meet?” Padmé asked Obi-Wan and Y/N, beginning to tuck into her food.  Y/N should have known the question was coming, but she was a bit bewildered nonetheless.  Her mouth opened to answer, but she was at a loss for words. 
“I was on a small mission here in Coruscant,” Obi-Wan began cooly, “Y/N was kind enough to offer a bit of help.”
Anakin smirked to himself as Padmé looked towards Y/N, unaware that she was currently fighting off jitters. Y/N nodded, knowing that she should speak. 
“He was looking for someone, but I was no help,” she said in an even tone, picking at her meal.  
“Surely something must have happened,” Anakin commented, a bit of mockery in his voice, “How else would you remember each other?”
Obi-Wan smiled, completely nonchalant.  Y/N was left wondering how nervous she truly looked, hoping she was playing it as well as Obi-Wan, but seriously doubting her abilities. 
“If I am remembering correctly, a friend of yours knew the man that I was searching for,” he answered, taking a bite. 
“Yes,” she said with a breath, regaining her composure, “His father had kicked him out of the club some time before.”
“The club?” Anakin asked with a raised brow, a smirk playing upon his lips.  Realizing her mistake, Y/N felt heat creep up her cheeks.  Padmé laughed a bit, though Y/N could not tell if it was due to her reaction or Anakins. 
“Yes, Anakin,” Obi-Wan clipped, side-eyeing his padawan, “You’re no stranger to them.” 
Obi-Wan’s jab did not seem to affect Anakin, who looked rather pleased with himself.  Y/N focused on her food, not wanting to face the eyes which were surly looking at her.  Normally, she wouldn’t be embarrassed if people knew she went to clubs, especially in her younger years.  However, there was something off about mentioning it in front of a Senator and two Jedi.  It felt as though she had admitted to committing a strange sort of crime.  
“What an odd string of fate,” Padmé said pleasantly, smiling at the others. “It is not often that we are reunited with such fleeting acquaintanceships in a city this large.”
“You are right, milady,” Obi-Wan said, seemingly unbothered by the whole ordeal. 
“Yes, it is quite funny,” Y/N forced herself to say, fearing that her silence may enact suspicion. 
Thankfully, no one brought it up for the rest of the meal.  At first they discussed politics, though soon Obi-Wan went on to share a few stories of missions he and Anakin had gone on over the years.  Y/N listened with interest, holding onto every word.  Obi-Wan was an excellent storyteller, she realized, finding herself content just to hear his voice.  When the meal was finished, Padmé and Dormé went to discuss the details of the plan with Obi-Wan, excusing themselves to speak privately in another room.  Y/N was left with Anakin, who was to keep watch while Obi-Wan was occupied.   
With her holopad in the other room, Y/N was left to kill time on her own.  She walked over to the large windows, watching the speeders fly past, criss-crossing lanes along the skyline.  She soon began to worry about Padmé, wishing that whoever was behind the attacks would somehow slip up and reveal themselves.  It was a futile hope, but there was nothing else she could do.  So deep in thought, she did not hear Anakin coming up to stand beside her.  
His voice came without warning, “I have a feeling there is more to you than meets the eye.” 
She jumped, placing a hand on her chest as her head whipped around to see him.  He chuckled at her unease, and she gave him a weary smile.  However, it soon left when she processed his words. 
“What do you mean?” she asked, still a bit fretful from the scare. 
He let out a slow chuckle, looking out the window instead of at her. “I know my master well, better than most.  Which means I know when he is concealing the truth.”
She inhaled shakily, her hands coming together, fingers winding around with nervousness.  Something in her face or tone must have slipped during lunch, letting Anakin in on her secret.  She bit her lip, wondering what to say and how to deny it.  
He smirked, eyeing her steadily. “Something else happened.”
She shook her head, deciding to act as if she had no clue what he was talking about. “No, it really is as simple as what he said.”
Anakin laughed again, “You are a terrible liar.”
She wanted to groan, knowing it was fruitless to play ignorant.  She decided on a new game plan: tell him as little as it takes to satisfy his curiosity. 
“Fine,” she surrendered, wavering a bit, “I bought him a drink. A single drink.”
Anakin stared at her, spurring her on.  As she gave her a resolute look back, he raised his brows. “You know I know that's not all.”
She faltered, feeling his provocation pulling her towards his will.  Unwisely, she had thought her admission would be enough for him.  
“I promise not to tell my Master,” he offered.
After a long pause, she gave in, knowing he would not easily let the matter go. “We got talking, just small talk.  I asked him if he’d ever been around Coruscant while he’s not working, and he said no, and I…” she trailed off, scared that she would reveal too much if she went any further.  
Anakin’s eyes lit at the confession, and he let out a happy sigh. “You see, I knew my Master wasn’t as good of a padawan as he says he was,” he laughed, “He’s probably reeling, worrying that I would find out.”
She shot him an angry look, afraid that he would tell Obi-Wan of her indiscretion.  Anakin rolled his eyes, waving a hand in her direction. 
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to tell, even though I want to,” he drawled, looking proud that he had gotten the secret from her.  He crossed his arms over his chest, standing tall.  Y/N would have been infuriated if her embarrassment wasn’t so strong.  While Y/N overthought their interaction, running it over in her head until the words sounded foreign, Anakin strolled off as if nothing had happened.  
She was left a bit stunned until Padmé, Dormé, and Obi-Wan emerged from the room.  Obi-Wan went over to Anakin, telling him that he would have to leave.  He sounded quite urgent, but his composure did not waiver.  Anakin only nodded, and with that Obi-Wan left without a goodbye.  Usually so polite, Y/N guessed that the matter likely pertained to the assassination attempts, which had doubled over the course of a single day.  
Padmé walked over to Y/N, calm and collected as she always was. 
“Y/N, you are free to go back to the Senate,” her voice was tenacious, strong-willed as always.
Y/N nodded. “Yes, milady.  Would you be needing anything else from me before I leave?”
“No, that's alright,” Padmé answered with a smile, “I’m not sure when I will be in contact with you next, so give all messages to Jar Jar, who will be representing me in my absence.”
Y/N bowed, going over to her workspace to collect her things.  She had a feeling Padmé would be getting ready to depart tomorrow, and it was safer for her to have Y/N know as little as possible.  She was already a bit surprised they let her know that Padmé would be leaving Coruscant, though she had been working with her for some time.  Y/N was warmed by the thought that the Senator trusted her so much, feeling a bit proud of the work she had done thus far. 
Y/N returned to the Senate to get the rest of her work completed, not even realizing that she might never see Obi-Wan again until the end of the day.  When the thought came, a wave of sadness drifted all around her, especially since she hadn’t had the chance to say goodbye.  In spite of all her efforts, she felt the same as she did over a decade ago, sitting on the bench in the Plaza as Obi-Wan faded into the crowd.  It was stupid, foolish, and entirely immature, but her mind could not release its hook from their conversation on the balcony.  She went over every word, every expression, each twitch of the lips.  Instead of pushing the memory away as she should, she held it tighter, embracing it with open arms.  It only appears amongst friends. You have not lost your wonder. You doubt yourself far too often, and ignore how far you have come. I don’t easily forget, I don’t easily forget, I don’t easily forget.  It was if his words were echoing around the empty office, fading out into space only to begin once more.  The letters rolled on top of each other, spinning into a melodious song sung in his pleasant voice. 
As she left work, she walked slowly down the wide corridors of the Senate building, arms limp at her sides.  A haze of melancholy enveloped every step, dulling the click of her shoes against the polished stone floor.  During the taxi ride home, she looked out of the window like she always did, following the lines of the buildings with her eyes, locking onto a particular point until it was lost in her peripheral.  The noise of the city outside was dulled in her ears, as if she was listening underwater.  She thought of Obi-Wan, his copper hair, his aquamarine eyes, then dismissed it, back and forth into oblivion.  She told herself it was not by fate that they met again, that his words were simply friendly and meant nothing, though her efforts were in vain.  Every irrational bone in her body overpowered her feeble attempts to break them or expose their falsehoods.  It was a losing battle, so she pushed it off as best she could, telling the soldiers it could wait until morning. 
Her head pounded to the beat of the alarm clock like a punishment for the day before.  Turning off the vexatious beeping, she headed straight for the ‘fresher to take some pills for the pain.  She shook her head at herself in the mirror, tsking her half-witted hope that somehow Obi-Wan would fall for her again.  Even if he did happen to feel the same, he was older now, not so impulsive.  He’d never let the past repeat itself.  Y/N had to remind herself that she was an adult now too, that she would have to get over her childish infatuation and move on.  It wasn’t as if she’d never dated anyone since then.  They were never quite like him, though.
In order to regain some sense of normalcy, she went about her routine in the same way she always did.  When it was time to dress, she found herself staring into her closet at all the clothes she had hanging there, her nice outfit piled in the hamper.  She chuckled at her ridiculous decision to wear what she did the day before, somehow thinking that it was important to look nice for a man she could never have.  
The taxi ride to the Senate was longer than usual, traffic congested but thankfully never completely stalled.  It was only a few hours into the day and already it was turning out awful, though Y/N’s patience was thin to start out with.  Unlike the previous evening, she walked quickly through the Senate to her office, giving the people she passed a cordial, but somewhat frigid smile.  She didn’t know if she’d be able to get through the pleasantries of “how are you?” or “nice to see you again”, thinking it better just to get to her office and hole up there until she was ready to go back home.  On the bright side, today her mind would remain busy with work, unable to muse over other things. 
Only a few people popped into the office that morning, mostly for a quick word and nothing more.  It was a blessing that everyone was incredibly swamped as well, unable to take any down time to chat.  Every once in a while, when Y/N wondered if Padmé was off planet yet, or something came in mentioning the assassination, she was practically forced into thinking about Obi-Wan.  With how much he was likely occupied, she thought it would be highly improbable that he was thinking of her at all, even in passing.  His work was important, far more important than her own, demanding diligent, careful attention.  Despite these small reminders of him, they did not stick around like they had last night, remaining fleeting and pulled from her mind when she looked back at her holopad.  
It was the afternoon, the sun over its peak, slowly descending over the city.  A ray shined through the curtainless window, specks of dust revealed in the air which looked almost like falling snow.  Deep in thought, Y/N jumped as the door wooshed open, her head shooting up from the holopad.  As she looked at the door, her breath caught in her throat, making it feel as though she had forgotten how to breathe.  There in her office, Obi-Wan was standing, his brown robe skimming the floor, eyes wide as if he was surprised by his own entrance.  Y/N stood abruptly, her chair pushing out behind her and bumping the wall.  
“Obi-Wan,” she said in shock, or perhaps as a question.  He took a step into the room, then went to take another, though stopped in his tracks. 
“Y/N, I,” he paused, swallowing, “I never got a chance to say goodbye. I’m leaving now, and I am unsure as to when I will return.”
“Oh,” was all she could muster, still paralyzed and unmoving.   
He looked down for a moment, hands clasped together. “It’s been a pleasure,” he said with a small smile.  She didn’t return it, still too stunned to do anything but stare at him.  Obi-Wan promptly turned and left, the door closing behind him.  
She just stood there, her thoughts a thousand miles high.  She questioned if Obi-Wan had really just come into the office or if it was a figment of her imagination, created by her night-long mulling over of the day before.  Her breaths remained shallow as her thoughts caught up to themselves, their summersaults ending with a finale of fireworks erupting between her ears.  She was baffled by his entrance, completely unaware of his motives.  Gradually, all else dropped away but her need to find Obi-Wan, to ask him if had really come back only to say goodbye, or if he had something else to say.  Her mind willed her legs to move, but they stayed still, frozen in time.  
“Come on,” she whispered to herself, not hearing her own voice, “run.”
With that her body finally obeyed, and she rushed to the door, huffing as she pressed the button to open it.  Her feet carried her flying down the hall, not noticing the people who stopped to stare at her along the way.  She skirted around every corner, the white walls and metal doors a single blur like the swipe of a wide paintbrush.  When she came upon the exit to the landing platforms, it was as if the wide door was encased in the glowing light of a new sun, calling her to come through to the other side.  Thankfully, the door was motion censored, saving her the precious few seconds that would be needed to open it.  As she emerged, the sun shined in her eyes, and she placed a hand on her forehead as a shield.  Frantically, she looked around for Obi-Wan, scanning every ship for movement, only to find every ship near to her vacant.  
In the distance, she saw the loading ramp of a ship descend, euphoric at the sight of Obi-Wan’s brown robe.  She began running towards him, sprinting faster as she saw him beginning to board.  Fearing that she would be too late, she called out his name.  Obi-Wan's face was hidden within the ship, though she could see him stop.  He looked down and saw her, though Y/N wasn’t close enough to tell the details of his expression.  As she neared, the realization of what she was doing set in, bringing about a wave of uncertainty.  However, it washed away when she saw Obi-Wan’s face. 
She stood at the base of the ramp, panting from her impromptu workout.  She locked her eyes with Obi-Wan’s, which were soft, brilliantly gleaming as they stared across her face.  Her once racing mind was all but empty, filled only with the serene happiness of having caught Obi-Wan before he took off.  Neither she or Obi-Wan said a word, though he smiled thoughtfully like he had a secret.  Stars, he must think I’m some kind of crazy person.
Despite her lack of shame or uneasiness, she fumbled with her words, not knowing how to express what she wanted to.  
“I,” she began, a doting smile beginning to peek through, “I feel like this is completely foolish,” she paused, bringing her hands up to her face for a moment, “Stars, I just can’t let you leave without telling you.”
“Tell me what?” he murmured, his smile growing slightly more noticeable. 
Her gaze drifted from his, overwhelmed by her boiling face and heart which was beating so fast she ought to be concerned.  Even though she had thought about doing this all last night, running over what she would say and what she would do, the reality of it was unfamiliar territory.  She was flying blind, attempting to find anything that could point her in the right direction.  
Finding a bit of courage left, she glanced back into her eyes, crystal blue and clear.  Within them she saw something new, the knowledge of what he was thinking in this very moment. Without another word or thought, she leapt up the ramp towards him, following all the instincts she had at her disposal.  Throwing her arms around his neck, she crashed her lips to his, a sparkling fuzz running down her spine and into her limbs.  Much differently than last time, Obi-Wan did not hesitate to return her kiss, falling into it along with her.  He held her body to his, pulling her a bit off of the floor and fully into his embrace. Their lips moved as if they had kissed a thousand times, synchronized in each other's affection.  She felt the tickle of his beard against her cheek, his hands gripping her waist tighter as she gasped.  
Breathless, she pulled away, only enough to suck in a gulp of much needed hair.  Obi-Wan did the same, breath uneven and shaky as if he had just been in battle.  Y/N stared into his eyes, watching as their surprise settled into something else, something tender.  A blush had formed upon his cheeks, peeking out from his beard and dotting across his nose.  The rush in her ears was gone, replaced by the low hum of the ship and the soft sound of her hands upon his robes.  She held him tighter, dreading the moment when she would finally have to let go. 
“Will I see you later?” she asked, not bothering to disguise her pleading and desperate tone.  She didn’t know what she was expecting him to do, but his wide grin pleasantly surprised her. 
“Yes,” he said with a long exhale, studying her face.  She grew warm with the attention, even though they had just done much more than look at each other.  Something about his gaze was always so intense, more passionate than she could easily handle.  It was as if flustering her came naturally to him, like he was born to make her shy.
Finally, he slowly set her down, and she relaxed her beskar-like grip she had on his shoulders.  Her hands settled on his chest briefly before falling down at her sides, already missing his touch. She was unsure what to say, but as usual, Obi-Wan was not at a similar loss for words. 
“Perhaps it is the absence, but you’ve grown even more beautiful,” the fondness of his voice did not escape her, bringing about a buzzing feeling in her stomach. 
She felt her knees nearly buckle, growing impossibly weak at his words.  With them, all her fears and worries about herself subsided, and she felt like the most beautiful person in the galaxy.  Forcing herself not to look down at her feet, she gave Obi-Wan a sickly sweet smile, agonized by how much she cared for him in so little time.  He was smiling as well, pleased by her total disarmament.  She longed to tell him how handsome he was, how well he had grown into himself, but she felt the time quickly slipping away.  Knowing he needed to leave soon, she stepped back, still grinning ear to ear.  She bit her lip, giddy with the reemergence of her clandestine romance, now with the promise that Obi-Wan wasn’t gone for good. 
“Be safe,” she said softly, making her way partly down the ramp.  Obi-Wan chuckled, looking self assured as he stood in the entrance of his ship. 
“I always am,” he answered, voice smooth and warm like Gatalentian tea. 
Mustering up every bit of her willpower she had, Y/N turned and walked down the ramp and into the landing platform.  The ramp closed behind her, and she rushed off near the entrance of the Senate building.  She watched as the ship powered up, rising into the air before zooming away all too quickly.  It was bitter to watch him leave, though their parting felt parsecs different than the last time.  From all she knew about him, Obi-Wan was not in the habit of lying, and her chances of seeing him again were close to certain.  With his ship out of sight, Y/N dreamily walked back into the Senate, feeling light as a feather.

☆⋆。⋆☆⋆。⋆☆⋆。⋆☆⋆。⋆☆⋆。⋆☆⋆。⋆☆⋆。⋆☆⋆。⋆☆ ⋆。⋆
The streets of Coruscant were always buzzing, day or night, and whatever the weather. The only refuge one could find from its constant commotion was indoors, preferably on the upper levels, where the noise could be drowned out and the shades could be drawn. While not on the lowest level, Y/N had no such luxury, having to deal with the hustle and bustle no matter what she did. However, it was a small price to pay for leaving Corellia, which was beautiful, yet boring. It wasn't her fault that some of the best schools in the galaxy were located on Coruscant, or that their clubs were so good.
It was Zhellday, which meant Y/N had once again found herself in her and her friends usual club, which one of their fathers owned. It was the best mid-level bar in the region, and they got to drink for cheap, so they rarely went anywhere else. They sat around one of the many small seating areas away from the dance floor, nursing some early drinks and gazing around at the crowd. Ya'sami, a twi'lek who had come to Coruscant for the same reason as Y/N, quickly downed their drink, smiling at the group.
"Someone dance with me," they said, looking around at the group.
Ripp shook his head. "I'm not drunk enough." They all knew you had to get Ripp good and drunk if he was going to dance.
"Alright," Y/N said in an exaggeratedly annoyed tone, "If you insist."
"Finally!" Ya'sami laughed, "Its what we come for, is it not?"
Laughing, Ya'sami took Y/N's hand and led them to the dance floor. The music was annoyingly loud, but neither noticed, forgetting their loads of schoolwork and impending due-dates in favor of the drumming boom of sound. The music was different on Coruscant than it was on Corellia. While Corellia wasn’t known for its soft melody’s or brooding lyrics, Coruscant’s made it seem so. On Coruscant, music was meant for partying, and Y/N took it up on its enticing offer.
After a while, Y/N grew parched, and yelled to Ya'sami over the noise, "I'm going to the bar!" Ya'sami kept on dancing, now in their own little groove.
Y/N pushed through the thick crowd, bumping elbows but trying her best to be polite. She muscled her way to the front, finding a small empty space along the surface of the bar. She rested her elbows against it, waiting for the bartender, who knew her well, to come over. It would take a while, since it was peak hours on a Zhellday, but she didn't mind. It was nice to cool off, as she could feel her arms growing sticky with the heat of all the bodies pressed into one room.
The bartender came up to give the man beside her his drink, throwing her an apologetic look. "Sorry Y/N, I'm swamped, I'll be there in a minute."
"No problem," she said, smiling.
Just as the space opened up next to her, another came to take his place. She felt something rough brush against her arm, and glancing over, she caught a look at the unfairly attractive man next to her. She looked away quickly, smiling sheepishly to herself. Even as an adult, Y/N always felt like a schoolgirl around attractive people. Trying to act inconspicuous, she dared another glance. His hair was a reddish brown, cropped short and spiky around his face. His nose was straight and his brow was strong. As the colored lights danced against his face, she noticed a small dimple on his chin. Stars, was he cute. Furrowing her brows, Y/N first thought it strange to wear such an outfit at a club of all places. His robes were plain and loose upon his chest, his deep brown cloak draped over his shoulders and billowing down to the floor. Then, the realization hit her as her eyes honed in on the small braid cascading down his left shoulder.
Y/N looked away quickly, head reeling. She knew little about the Jedi, only what her friend from Coruscant had told her. "Very secretive," Ripp had said, "All any normal person really knows about them is their 'force' or whatever it is, and their light sabers. And, once when I was a kid, I heard one got kicked out because he was seeing a woman on the outside."
And, Y/N had found out one way or another, before they were Jedi Masters, they wore a long braid on the side of their head.
Nothing Y/N knew about them said they couldn't go to clubs on their nights off, or did they even get a night off? Even if they technically could, Y/N had never seen one casually grabbing a drink anywhere, or even heard about it. It seemed like something people would gossip about.
The bartender came wizzing around the corner. The man, or rather Jedi, beside Y/N stuck his hand out as he passed.
"I'm looking for someone named-" he began in a strong Coruscanti accent. The bartender only glanced his way.
"Sorry kid, I'm a little busy," he said before quickly walking away, carrying far too many drinks.
The Jedi huffed, hanging his head for a moment before looking back at the sea of people. Before Y/N even knew what she was doing, she turned to the handsome stranger.
"I might know who you're looking for."
He turned to her, eyes blue and bright, and she nearly gasped. Stars, she kept saying over and over in her head, stars, stars, stars.
He raised his eye brows at her, looking around for moment before turning back to her gaze. Her eyes bounced around, fearing he may be able to tell she fancied him just by looking at her.
"You might?" he asked, clearly surprised, though Y/N didn't know what exactly for. Was he shocked that she was listening to him, or that some random club-goer dared to speak to him, a Jedi-in-training. She couldn't think about it for too long, as he was waiting for an answer.
"Y-yeah," she stuttered, "I come here a lot, and my friends father owns the place."
He nodded, giving her a small smile, making her nerves build even more than they had before. She wasn't sure if it was because he was so handsome, or the fact that she knew he had a light saber stashed under his robes and lived in the big temple on the upper level.
"I'm looking for a Mirialan named Craz. He's said to spend some time here." He looked at her sternly, yet with a clam air about him. Y/N had expected him to be arrogant, someone of such importance. However, she had the feeling he was not at all, despite the authority he could so easily command. Although he was on the job, or so she assumed, he posture was relaxed and easy like his robes.
She shook her head, feeling guilty or taking up his time when she had no answers. He only looked slightly disappointed, a crease forming between his brows.
As he went to speak, Y/N interrupted, again without thinking. The thought of him leaving, without learning even so much as his name, made her want to prolong it as long as she could. She told herself it was curiosity, rather than hopeless attraction.
"My friends might know, though! Most of them have been living here longer than I have."
His eyes turned upwards in thought before he glanced around. He shrugged, smiling once again. "Thank you," he said, letting Y/N lead the way from the bar.
She could feel him following behind her, so close yet never touching. Weaving through the crowd, she looked back once to see if he was still there or had been lost amongst the people. He was, catching her looking and staring straight into her eyes. While he was not smiling, he seemed somewhat amused at her guilty glance. She realized it was foolish to think he, a Jedi, might have lost his way.
They made their way to her friends, most of which were still sitting at the spot where she left them. While a few had gone to dance, Ripp, whos father was the owner, was thankfully still there. If anyone would know who the man was, it would be him.
"Guys," she said, the man standing beside her, "this is..." She faltered.
"Obi-Wan," he said.
Ripp's eye went wide, and Y/N could feel her face heat up already. She should have known they'd freak out at the sight of her bringing along a Jedi.
Dani, who was sitting beside Ripp, began to giggle. Y/N rolled her eyes, knowing it was he was handsome.
"What brings a gentleman such as yourself into a place like this?" Ripp joked. Dani bit her lip, making Y/N want to crawl inside of herself. Obi-Wan either didn't notice Dani's shameless display or chose not to react. Rather, he chuckled at Ripp's joke.
"I am looking for a Mirilalan, Craz. I was told you may know where he is."
"Oh, I know Craz," Ripp answered, leaning back into the couch, "My father had to throw him out of here a few months ago and told him never to come back."
Obi-Wan put a hand on his chin in thought. "Do you know where he might be these days?"
Ripp shook his head, "No clue, sorry."
Obi-Wan huffed, placing a hand on his hip. In doing so, he revealed his light saber hanging from the leather belt along his waist. Y/N had never seen one up close, only catching glimpses on the holo. It's impressiveness did not escape her, nor did its elegance. For a moment she wondered if he would let her see it closer if she asked, though she promptly pushed this thought from her mind. Not only would it be rude, but she felt as if outside eyes on such a weapon could somehow tarnish its great power.
Besides the deadly force hanging from his belt, Obi-Wan appeared the more normal he had all night. His stance was even more relaxed than it had been before, as if he was just another club-goer waiting on a drink.
After a moment of thought, Obi-Wan spoke again, "Thank you for your help, and I apologize for taking so much of your time."
Y/N nearly laughed, for he had not taken more than a minute. She wondered if all Jedi were so polite. As he turned to leave, Ripp called after him, not hiding his excitement, "Nice meeting you, Obi-Wan!"
Obi-Wan turned and smirked, offering a courteous, "Likewise." before walking away.
As he disappeared into the crowd, Dani stared dreamily into the distance. "Ya'sami's going to be so mad when she hears about this! Stars, are all Jedi that cute?"
"He can probably still hear you," Ripp joked, making Dani go pink.
For the third time that evening, Y/N acted without thinking, all due to the handsome Jedi. Without responding to her friends, she turned and followed after Obi-Wan, trying to reach him in the crowd. He was hard to spot, but she caught him skirting around the dance floor, robe flowing behind. As she neared him, she shouted his name. He turned, not looking all that surprised. Perhaps he sensed me coming.
"Yes?" he asked, accent smooth and level, even through all the noise.
She hadn't thought of what she was going to say, and her heart began racing, threatening to burst from her chest. She had never acted on so many impulses in one night before, usually allowing herself a single bad decision and refraining from the rest. The common culprits were almost always benign, such as one too many drinks or dancing too close to a handsy guy. Never had she been so forward with someone who she knew, deep down, would never fall for her advances.
"I-I," she stuttered. Maker, get yourself together. "I feel bad, for not helping you more, taking up your time."
He did not laugh, but looked at her with a soft pity. "It's quite alright. Your friend provided me with important information. I will search elsewhere."
Elsewhere, not here, not with me.
"Well, let me at least buy you a drink," she offered, smiling. Seeing his reservations, she offered another excuse, "I get them half off anyway."
He thought for a moment, tilting his head slightly before meeting her eyes. Could Jedi even drink?
“Come on,” she pleaded, growing a bit desperate. Embarrassed by her own words, she attempted to backpedal a bit, “one for the road.”
"Alright, if you insist," he answered, looking towards the bar. They found a spot to wait, Obi-Wan resting an elbow against it and peering out across the room. Y/N angled towards him slightly, though kept a polite distance.
"I'm Y/N," she said, holding out her hand.
He took it, handshake far softer than she expected. She felt a spark run up her arm.
"Pleased to make your acquaintance, Y/N".
She loved the way her name sounded on his lips. She never was one to swoon over the Coruscanti accent, as she had run across many travelers with it on Corellia. There was just something about his voice, subtle but strong, serious on the edge of jest.
"Are you allowed to tell me what this Craz has done to warrant your search?" Y/N was half joking and half curious, especially since learning that Ripps father had thrown him out not too long ago.
"He's an important member of a crime syndicate that runs out of the lower levels, but they've been making their way up the city for some time now."
"Maker, I didn't know we got those kinds of characters in here." She truly was shocked, for she had only seen a few fights break out here, and never with blasters.
"You usually don't. It's easier to keep it contained if they don't spread levels, which is why I'm here."
The bartender interrupted them, looking a bit dazed due to his consent running around.
"Y/N," he said, and then looking towards Obi-Wan, "Sorry about before, Kid. What do you need?"
Obi-Wan replied before Y/N had the chance, "It's all taken care of."
The bartender looked pleased to not have to answer any questions on such a busy night. "So, what can I get you?"
"I'll have a phattro," Y/N began, "And you'll have.." she said, looking towards Obi-Wan.
"A corellian," he said, glancing towards her with a thankful nod.
"A phattro and a corellian," the bartender repeated before walking away to make the drinks.
Y/N smiled towards Obi-Wan. "A corellian," she said slyly. Obi-Wan gave her an amused look. "Thats where I'm from."
"A planet rich with history," he offered, for the first time seemingly genuinely intrigued.
"Yes, and a stagnant present," she chuckled dryly, "have you ever been there?"
He shook his head. "I have not had the pleasure."
"I'd say it is more of a pleasure that you haven't been there. It's excitements pale in comparison to Coruscant, unless you enjoy working long hours on ships."
For the first time, he fully laughed, rather than a reserved chuckle. His eyes shined in the lights, forcing Y/N to look away before her knees gave out.
"I'm not much for flying," said Obi-Wan, still looking at her, "My strong suits lay elsewhere."
"And where may that be?" She leaned in a bit closer to him, for a moment forgetting he was not just a man she met at the bar who happened to catch her eye. He did not move away or look displeased. In fact, he appeared amused.
"Conversation," he answered simply.
The bartender came over with their drinks.
“Put it on my tab,” she said to the bartender, who nodded and walked off.
Y/N watched as Obi-Wan took a sip of his, emptying half of the small glass.
"Then I shall test your abilities," she said, smirking as she lead him away from the bar and into the crowd. They stood amongst the others for a moment, now closer than they had been to each other all night. Once again, his cloak pressed against her shoulder, though she now felt his arm beneath it. She tried to hide her childish joy at the barely-there connection, taking a sip of her drink.
It was a bit louder now that they moved farther into the thick of things. Obi-Wan was forced to lean closer to her ear as he spoke, "Did you come to Coruscant only for the excitements?"
She couldn't help but laugh, "No, I go to the university. The night life is only a bonus."
"What are your studies in?" he asked, surprising Y/N for the umptenth time. She hadn't expected him to be interested in her life.
"Intergalatic relations. I hope to work for senatorial office one day."
He smiled brightly. Stars, he had a lovely smile.
"An honorable profession."
She could feel his eyes on her as he spoke, swearing she could catch him daring a look at her outfit, which was far more flashy than she would wear in her day-to-day life. Rather than feeling embarrassed, she thanked herself for putting so much thought in her partying appearance, which Ya'sami had said was totally smokin'. At the time she had brushed it off, laughing, though now she realized Ya'sami may have been right.
"Not as honorable as yours," she chuckled nervously. It was the first time either of them had hinted at him being a Jedi, and she soon feared that it would scare him away. While he did not seem to be easily frightened, rather on the contrary, she did not know if he was bending any rules to have a drink with her.
He looked away, seeming to remember his place for a moment. To Y/N's delight, he turned back quickly.
"We all have our place," he offered, "Without the senatorial office, who knows what would have become of me."
Boldly, Y/N began to push the boundaries of whatever this was. "I'm sure you would've done great things either way. I can't imagine you back home in the shipyards."
"Without the Corellian shipyards, where would the senate procure their greatest ships?" His question came off not as defensive, or even as if he was trying to steer the conversation away from himself. Rather, Y/N had the feeling she had genuinely engaged him in an interesting topic of conversation. She tried not to let her chest swell with a strange sort of pride.
"I have to say, your respect for my home world surprises me, especially due to their exceedingly cold attitude towards the Senate."
He laughed, making Y/N wonder how she could make him do it again. She wanted to listen to him laugh all night.
"I am starting to see why you left."
"Perhaps you are coddled by the comforts of Coruscant. Though I'd think that you've traveled to your fair share of systems." She took a sip of her drink, watching him from the corner of her eye. A pink light shined against the back of his head, highlighting his spiky hair.
"It's one of the perks," he said before finishing the rest of his drink. Fuck, he'll probably leave now.
Thankfully, he kept talking, "Though you often do not get the chance to sight-see."
"What a shame." She sincerely felt sorry for Obi-Wan, realizing that he likely didn't get out much. Perhaps thats why he allowed her to buy him a drink, why he so thoughtfully indulged her wishes to entertain him, even for a few minutes.
As she thought on this more, she pondered the possibility that he had never been taken around Coruscant, shown the touristy landmarks that everyone visits when they first arrive. Likely he had been all around the city, though it was probably for work with the inability to stop and take it all in. All at once, she had the ludicrous, irresponsible idea of taking his hand and dragging him around to all the sights that enthrall the thousands of tourists that flood the streets everyday.
"I assume you've seen the sights of Coruscant?" she asked shyly, internally pleading that he would say no.
He shook his head and she forced herself to not jump for joy. "Only in passing, though I know my way around the lower levels quite well. But I do not think that is what you meant," he chuckled.
All too eagerly, she spoke in excitement, "Well, how much time do you have?"
He sighed, looking weary. She could tell he was going over the time in his head, thinking about going along with her across the city, and about whoever was waiting for him back at the temple.
"I really shouldn't..." he said, mostly to himself. A smile began to form at the corner of his mouth.
"Come on," she pried, grinning up at him, "It'll only take a little while. Just call it a much needed break." In an act of flirtatious desperation, she held out her hand for him to take. Looking down at it, then up to her, he placed his hand in hers, smiling.
She quickly began leading, or rather pulling him towards the exit of the club. As they passed a small table, they each half hazzardly placed their drink down. For a moment she remembered she was here with friends, who were likely wondering where she was, though she hadn't the mind to care. Caught up in the temptation of spending the evening with Obi-Wan, with whom she had grown more and more enthralled with, Y/N giddily pushed the heavy doors to walk out into the cool city night. Now outside, the music was muffled, yet the bass was still heavy in the air. Despite the crisp temperature, Y/N's body was still warm with the heat of the club, and with the feeling of Obi-Wan's hand clasped in hers. She turned back to look at him, who was a bit more collected than herself, but still more carefree than he had been in the club. Perhaps he wasn’t used to suck loud music, or being surrounded by drunk patrons looking to dance. Slowly and to her glee, she could tell he was forgetting the original purpose of his visit.
"So, do you have a preference to where we got first, or I shall I choose?" she asked.
Obi-Wan answered quickly, "You choose."
"To the Plaza then," she said, beginning to walk down the crowded street. Hands still in one anothers, she lead Obi-Wan down the enclosed street towards an opening to the roadway. They each looked out across the wide space filled with cruisers and neon lights on the side of the skyscrapers. Billboards flashed bright images which reflected upon the fast moving cruises, pictures clear against the long transports. Openings in the platforms above revealed the deep black of the night sky, which did not shine with stars.
"Its the one thing I miss about Corellia," she began, staring up at the sky, "The stars."
Obi-Wan looked up and then back at her, though she did not notice, too busy imagining what night looked like on Corellia.
"I remember the first time I saw them," he said with a sigh. Y/N turned towards him, gently holding his hand a bit tighter. "It was on Noe'ha'on. Before then I had only seen them in ships, or briefly on the holo."
For the second time, Y/N felt sorry for Obi-Wan. She almost made herself laugh at the thought of feeling sorry for a Jedi.
He began again, "It was if I was seeing them for the first time. I could not imagine anything in the galaxy more beautiful."
They were staring at each other now, and Y/N felt her heart begin beating faster. She wished he was talking about her and not to her. For an instant, she thought about saying no, you're the most beautiful thing in the galaxy. Then, fear struck her. Could he hear what she was thinking?
"You must see them a lot now, going place to place."
"Yes, but they deserve a moment of peace which does not often find itself on missions.” He seemed to grow lost in thought, and Y/N enjoyed simply watching him think for a moment.
"When I was a little girl,” she said, breaking the silence, “I would sit and look at them for hours. In the winter, if you were lucky, sometimes you could catch aurora borealis." She began to think about showing Obi-Wan the show of lights that would grace the Corellian skies.
He smiled at her words. "I have seen that too, though only once. That was long ago."
"Its too bad I can't show you that tonight," she said with a sad smile, "though I will keep my promise and show you what the travelers come for!" Her excitement returned, and she turned to hail a taxi. One came wizzing by and to an abrupt stop in front of them. The door slid open, and Y/N was forced to let go of Obi-Wan's hand. She mourned the loss of his touch, which she did not expect she would receive again. The excuse to take his hand was all but gone, so she settle for sitting next to him.
The droid asked them their destination, with Y/N answering in the calmest manner she could muster. She thought it wise to hide her elation at his company, attempting to present an air of coolness that would likely fail. Obi-Wan had not yet recoiled fully at her advances of friendship, which she was thankful for.
Y/N looked out the window of the taxi, watching as it climbed through the air towards the upper levels. She had been on Coruscant for a year now, but the foreign beauty of the city was not yet lost on her. Obi-Wan watched her expression of wonder at the sights, which she was meant to be showing him. He chuckled at her childlike enrapture, making her turn to him with a confused look.
"Are you making fun of me?" she asked in amusement. He seemed a bit horrified at the thought of offending her.
"Oh, no, I-"
She cut him off with laughter., “I'm only teasing."
He visibly relaxed at her words, his smiling returning.
"I still can't get over the sight of the city at night," she explained, "I lived a ways off from any city on Corellia. I'm not entirely used to it yet, though I'm not sure I want to be."
"Wonder is a great gift," his voice was tender, much softer than before, "most loose it as they grow."
Her chest warmed at his words, feeling fuzzy. She had never met anyone like Obi-Wan, and not just because he was a Jedi. His poise came off not as a cockiness, but rather comfortably dignified. She did not get the impression that he thought her below him, even though she met him as he was on some important work and she was blowing off steam at a club. They way he took her hand so easily, the way he allowed her to take him away in a taxi, and the way in which he complimented a trait of hers she often felt insecure about; her ceaseless wonder at the world around her, made her feel as though she could tell him anything. She fought the urge to tell him just that, that she felt as though she could tell him anything. Don't scare him away.
"You're very kind," she said instead, feeling as if it was somewhat comparable to her true thoughts.
He smiled softly. Y/N reasoned that he smiled at everyone that way.
"Kindness is also a virtue, though I do not lie. It would do many good if they had a bit more wonder left in them." He seemed serious, and under any other circumstance, Y/N would have expected him to reach out and touch her. Stars, did she want him to, though she knew he would not.
"They say it's a Corellian thing, we've always got an itch."
He pondered her words before speaking. Y/N noted that he always spoke carefully and with purpose.
"Can you truly assign a trait to an entire planet?" he asked with a chuckle.
She knew she wasn't meant to answer, but she shrugged anyhow, deciding to tease him. "Lets see. Where are you from?"
"Well, I'd normally say I was from Coruscant, though I was not born here. I was born on Stewjon." She sensed something stir within him. Perhaps she should not have asked where he was from. Y/N did not know how the Jedi got to the temple, if their parents were also Jedi who lived in the temple, or if they were normal people. Her understanding of the force of elementary at best, having no clue if it was hereditary or something which just occurred. All she knew was Ripp's words, I heard one got kicked out because he was seeing a woman on the outside. Did they mean they could date on the inside, or not at all? Either way, she knew she had little to no chance of catching his eye.
Before she was fully caught up in her thoughts, she folded, "Hm, you've seemed to beat me. I know almost nothing about Stewjon."
He smirked, looking quite proud of himself, though Y/N knew it was just an act.
"I thought you said you were a intergalatic relations student?" he taunted. She flashed him a glare, though a smile played on her lips.
"It's impossible to know things about every system. Though, if you'd like to test me, ask me about someplace else." An impish glimmer shined in her eyes.
Obi-Wan thought for a moment, placing a hand on his chin.
"Hm, what about Kerev Doi?"
"Kerev Doi," she repeated slowly, searching her mind, "Located along the Nanth'ri Trade Route, it is home to Bodach'i. It's economy is mainly dependent on its spice mining, though it is aided by the various crime syndicates which have their hands in a variety of different enterprises across the planet, which I am sure you must be well aware of," she answered proudly, holding her head up high, "Would you like more?"
He raised his brows, chuckling at her manner. "No, you have proven yourself a fine student."
She giggled, catching herself smirking at him in a not so friendly manner. Darting her eyes away, she cleared her throat, "Thank you."
The taxi came to a rushing stop, with the droid announcing they have arrived at their location. Y/N reached into her bag for credits, but Obi-Wan beat her to it, pulling some out of his robes.
"Allow me," he said in passing, handing over the credits and stepping out onto the platform. Butterflies erupted in her stomach at the simple gesture, even more so when Obi-Wan leaned over and offered his hand to her as she stepped out.
"Thanks," she said, trying to hide her smile. He only nodded at her, turning to look at the Plaza. It was even busier than the streets outside of the club, though the people were far more diverse. Visitors of all ages crowded around the street vendors, many others lazily strolling around the open space. A few long lines of people were gathered outside of restaurants, others coming in and out of the shops.
"I've never been here at night," Obi-Wan said, a bit breathless, "and I have never gotten the chance to look around."
It was the first time that night that Obi-Wan seemed to be the one mesmerized and not Y/N. The change gave her a hope that she knew she shouldn't have, though she let it lead her anyway. She instinctually looped her arm through his and began walking into the Plaza. Obi-Wan looked down at their linked arms but did not comment, nor pull away.
They strolled through the Plaza at a leisurely pace, each gazing around at nothing in particular. Y/N stopped them in front of a restaurant, which emitted soft music from its closed doors.
"Have you ever been to this one," she asked, pointing at the restaurant.
He shook his head.
"Me either. Ripp says its been here practically forever, but you need to make reservations a year in advance," she laughed, "I also heard it's wildly expensive."
"I've been to a few fancy banquets," he began as they started walking again, "but I personally feel they're overrated."
"Well, thats good for me," she joked, wondering where he would have found himself at a banquet.
"If I am being honest, I have found the best food is often not found in such places. You have to go to the seedy parts of town," he chuckled, gazing at her as if she was an old friend.
She laughed along with him, feeling whatever tension she was once experiencing wash away. She had all but forgotten her promise not to scare him away, giving into her desire to speak with him as if he weren't a Jedi.
They began walking down one side of the Plaza, stopping to look in the window of a shop. The display was filled with items of all sorts; jewelry, beautiful glass blown bowls and vessels, and at its center a metal sculpture.
“There’s a sculpture like that on Mandalore,” he said, pointing to it.
“You’ve been to Mandalore?” She asked excitedly. He nodded. “Tell me what it’s like.”
He paused to collect his words, each still looking at the sculpture in the window. “It is quite unique, the architecture is magnificent, unlike anything in the galaxy that I’ve had the chance to see.” He turned to her. “There’s more metal than you’ve ever seen, everywhere you turn it is there, towering above and below. Thats another system with a rich history, though I am sure you know all about it.”
“Yes, it is fascinating,” was all she could muster at the moment, imagining it. “I’d love to visit one day.”
“If you work for the Senate, I’m sure you will find yourself in many different places.”
“Yes, well, I’m still taking in Coruscant," she said with a sigh.
They strolled along, chatting as they went, with Y/N asking most of the questions. She learned of some of the places Obi-Wan has been over the years, though did not pry into why he was there. She knew it was likely on Jedi business, assuming that such things should be kept secret, or least not told out in the open. At the sight of a display of dresses, Y/N began telling him about a festival on her home world.
“It happens every spring, there’s a big band on this stage in the center of town, with ships flying overhead. The streets are decorated with banners and flowers. Stars, it’s beautiful. There’s dancers as well. One year, not too long ago, I danced. It took months of practice, and when we all walked into the streets I thought that I might faint. We wore dresses just like that,” she spoke animatedly, recalling the joy she had felt at the festival, one of the only times she did not find living on Corellia boring. Obi-Wan listened to her intently, holding on the every word as he pictured her description.
“I would have liked to see that,” he said with a wide smile.
“I’m sure you can make an excuse to see it one day,” she replied, though he shook his head with a laugh.
“No, I meant that I would have liked to see you.”
Y/N felt her face warm, and too embarrassed to look at him, cast her eyes downward. They began walking once again, this time with her leading him towards the center of the Plaza. They soon neared Umate, and at the sight of the mountain peak, Y/N pointed.
"Look!" she said, pulling him towards the protruding rock. As they came towards it, she looked over to Obi-Wan. "You must have seen the peak before."
He stared at the tip of the mountain, deep in thought. The warm glow of the street lamps showed the contours and ridges on its surface. Every time Y/N saw it, she couldn't help but picture the vast surface which lay beneath the platform, all the way down to the planets surface.
Almost whispering, he answered, "Only in passing."
They each stood gazing at the peak, Obi-Wan spoke seemingly to himself, "The only uncovered surface."
Arms still linked, Y/N slowly inched her hand up without realizing what she was doing, softly gripping his arm. She felt Obi-Wan tense, and at the realization of what she was doing, she quickly dropped her hand, though did not drop her arm from his completely. Neither said a word, and Y/N feared she had shattered their bubble. Now you've done it.
As she kicked herself, Obi-Wan looked past the peak and towards a vendor. He turned to her, and if Y/N hadn't known better, she'd think he looked nervous.
"Y/N?" he asked, breaking the silence.
"Yes?" she said, a bit surprised and wondering if he was going to say he had to leave, that she had shown him enough.
On the contrary, his eyes looked back towards the vendor. "I have to admit something."
Intrigued, her confused expression turned into a smile. "What?"
"I've never had a popsicle, and I was wondering if we could-"
Before he could finish, Y/N grinned and began pulling him in the direction of the vendor. Obi-Wan began to laugh, making her chuckle along with him.
"This is the kind of initiative I like to see!" she joked, leading them to stand in line.
"My masters going to kill me." His tone was light hearted enough, though Y/N got the sense he wasn't entirely joking. However, in the moment, he seemed receptive, so she allowed herself to ask him a question.
"You master?"
His gaze met hers before she glanced at his braid which was now thrown behind his shoulder. She longed to run her hands down it and ask him why all young Jedi had one.
"Yes, all Padawans are paired with a Master until they become Knights," he explained, eyes dancing across her face.
"Padawan, knight," she repeated, then laughed to herself, "you're making me realize there are a million things I do not know."
"I am sure you know more than me about many things," his voice was soft and tender as it was before in the taxi. She felt herself begin to melt.
She shook her head. "I don't think so," she paused, "At least not about many things."
"Seeing is not knowing," Obi-Wan commented, head turning to peer at his surroundings. "I am not yet a knight, and there are many things I have not come to learn."
"The we are the same, I am still a student myself," she retorted. Obi-Wan seemed to have been defeated, not saying anything further on the subject. In his silence, she wondered how a Jedi could never think she, a simple student at the university, could possibly know more than him about anything. In comparison, she had been almost nowhere, seen almost nothing. One of the only things she had an upper hand on was knowing how much rent cost in Coruscant, or possibly what a good deal on a ship was due to her childhood spent among the shipyards.
They had now moved to the front of the line, the vendor asking what flavors they'd like. Obi-Wan looked to her, unable to answer. Y/N ordered for them each, paying before Obi-Wan had the chance.
"My treat this time," she said to him with a small smile. He looked at her thankfully, taking his popsicle.
As they began eating, Y/N lead them to a bench. Their arms came a part as they sat, making her sigh. She hoped Obi-Wan had taken it for contentment, rather than disappointment.
"So," she said between licks, "Is this not the best night of your life?"
Obi-Wan chuckled. I did that, she thought.
"Its in the running." His smile had not ceased, much to Y/N's delight.
They ate their popsicles in mostly silence, with Y/N pointing to a few other shops, telling Obi-Wan about what was inside. A bit of Obi-Wan's began to run down his hand, making each of them laugh. For a moment it felt as though they were both normal people, both simply club-goers who happened to cross paths. After they both had finished, Y/N smiled at him, then nodded to the waste basket a ways away.
"Think you can make it in?" She asked, head cocked. Even though she didn't know squat about the force, she figured making a stick into a waist basket was likely child's play to him.
He gave her a devilish look, and smiling, placed a hand over his eyes. Then, he threw the stick, which expertly landed in the center of the basket. Removing his hand, he grinned.
"Lucky shot," she challenged, holding out her stick for him to take. He did so happily, doing the same thing again and wielding the same result.
Rolling her eyes at him, Y/N decided to be bold. "Does your master usually send you out alone?"
"It is unusual, though it depends on the mission. Searching for a criminal, especially without a set location, can be done alone."
The freeness to which he answered the question gave Y/N the hope that she may have the opportunity to ask more about him, though she did not want to overdo it.
"My life must seem boring in comparison." She retreated inwards for a moment, all too aware of how he might see her, as just some random student.
"I long for boredom," he said, not seeming to be joking. Y/N gave him an odd look, making him smile. "Tell me about the university. What is it like?"
She felt her face heat at the thought of him caring about her life, what she did. How could she make anything interesting to him? Even to her it was often dull.
"It was quite scary at first, leaving home and coming to a place like this," she paused, thinking his question over, "But it's interesting, learning about all the different star systems, the politics, how the Republic is structured. It all felt so little at home, even with all the travelers that would come in and out of the ports. Now it's as if I'm in the thick of everything all at once. I could spend hours in the University archives, reading about all these little planets and moons that I didn't even know existed."
Lost in her rambling, she did not catch the twitch in Obi-Wan's hand, nor the fascination on his face.
"You'd love the archives at the Temple," he said, turning away to look at the Plaza. Y/N kept her eyes on his profile, which she wanted to keep in her memory as long as she could.
"I can only imagine," she said with a soft breath, "You could never get me to leave."
He looked back to her. "I wish I could bring you there, in repayment for tonight."
She smirked, biting her lip before she could stop herself. Obi-Wan stayed where he was, head now angled towards hers.
"No, your company is enough," she replied sweetly, the urge to reach out her hand and touch his shoulder almost too much to resist.
“I have always appreciated the city for its beauty, for the energy which permeates its every corner. Yet, I have never seen it in this light.”
Obi-Wan sighed, eyes softening. Under the lights of the Plaza, they look dazzlingly blue, reminding her of the ocean back home. After an entire night of stopping herself from saying something foolish, Y/N gave in fully, throwing all caution and embressment to the wind.
"Your eyes," she whispered, forgetting about the people passing by and the chatter of their voices, "they're just like the oceans on Corellia. Clear, like aquamarine."
Obi-Wan breathed in sharply, staring at her with a clipped intensity, as if he was holding himself back. His robes, loose around his chest, billowed as his shoulders relaxed, revealing a sliver of his golden skin. Obi-Wan did not speak, eyes darting across her face. Slowly and with great care, Y/N lifted her hand and placed it on his shoulder as she had wanted to before. It inched towards the hood of his robe, all the while Obi-Wan allowed her to do so, making no move to stop it. Her nerves went wild, shooting bursts of warmth all through her, up her arms and down her spine. With a final press into the rough texture of his robes, she reached up towards his face, brushing his cheek with the backs of her fingers. Obi-Wan shuttered, so slightly that Y/N would have missed it if she hadn't have been fully taking him in, absorbed in his presence.
Breaking her from her trance, Obi-Wan reached for her hand, taking it in his. He brought it down to his chest, cradling it softly.
"Y/N..." he began, rubbing his thumb along the back of her hand.
"I know," she said, not waiting for him to finish.
He sighed deeply, dropping his head and looking at her hand within his, still moving his thumb back and forth. His expression was blank, though a crease formed between his brows. Just like before, she thought.
While much of Obi-Wan was still a mystery, she knew he was overthinking every step he had made that night, her hand in his, arms linked, the fast beating of their hearts. She longed to stop his train of thought, to tell him that it was all okay, that this was far from bad. Out of pure instinct and selfish desire, she leaned down to catch his eyes. Below his face, she stared up at him, who for the first time that night appeared entirely unsure of himself. While he had seemed weary before, never was he so lost, completely out of his element. His inner turmoil played out within his eyes, though as she looked into them, the more he seemed to bend. She glanced at his lips, which were slightly parted, sucking in a breath as she slowly moved forward. Giving him time to pull away, to jump back and send her off, she placed the hand that was not in his on his opposite shoulder. With Obi-Wan's head still tilted forward, their lips softly met.
Her heart fluttered even though neither of them moved. The touch of his lips against hers was impossibly delicate, as if it was the first time she had ever kissed someone. She feared that deepening the kiss or moving an inch would scare him away, but was still content with its simplicity. Obi-Wan released her hand, moving to cup her cheek. Smiling into the kiss, she took as an innovation to go further. She opened her mouth, pressing harder into him. He responded slowly, yet did not pull away. Rather, he leaned in as well, allowing her to carefully run her tongue along his lower lip. Sighing deeply, he moved away, though not far. Y/N could feel his warm breath upon her, and she smiled sheepishly.
Their eyes met, and Obi-Wan began to stroke her face with his thumb as he had done with her hand. She fisted the robes which lay across his shoulder, body moving towards his.
The guilt then came upon her, flooding her with a unique shame. She looked into his eyes and spoke softly, "I'm sorry, I-" she faltered. Obi-Wan's expression changed to that of sadness, or perhaps pity.
"It is my fault," his voice was thin, as if it were spread taut. Y/N placed both her hands on his face, letting her head fall against his chest. For a moment Obi-Wan did nothing but keep his hand where it was on her cheek, though soon brought her face back up to at his. "There is a code," he whispered, "It is my duty to keep to it. I should not have allowed myself such an indulgence."
All this time Y/N had thought he was indulging her, and his admission causing a pang within her heart. Her hands dropped from his face.
"But I should not have done that," she said with full sincerity.
He smiled sadly, studying her face which was still in his hands. He brushed the backs of his fingers across it again.
"I have never," he paused, sighing to himself, "You are lovely, Y/N, and you have given me a great gift,” he stopped, pressing his lips together tightly as if to keep himself from speaking further. With another shaky exhale, he dropped his eyes from hers.
"I have never met anyone like you," she said, hoping he knew what she meant. It was not that she had never met a Jedi. No, she had simply never met a man, or person like himself.
"Likewise," he answered, chuckling dryly, looking back into her eyes.
They both sat for a moment looking at one another, not saying a word. Y/N hoped to prolong his departure as much as she could, feeling it coming upon them far faster than she would have liked. She studied the shape of his kind eyes, his strong chin, his lips which were now stern. The desire to memorize him was given into greedily, just as she had given into their kiss. It was almost gluttonous, the way she took in the last remaining drops of his presence. Don’t forget his eyes, don’t forget his words, don’t forget our kiss.
She nearly stopped herself from speaking, though reasoned that it was no use now. She had already shown him all he could know. "I wish it were different," her voice barely cracked, though she knew he noticed.
"As do I." He dropped his gaze again, and they each sat quietly for a while, how long Y/N could not tell. It could have been ten seconds or ten hours before he spoke again, "I must go," his voice trailed off.
Y/N moved away from him as he stood, already missing their closeness. He stared out across the Plaza for a long moment before turning back to her, who was watching him, thinking about his braid. “Let me see that you return safely,” he offered. Y/N shook her head.
“I have plenty of credits for a taxi,” she replied, still feeling a bit dazed from their kiss.
“Are you sure?” He asked, seeming quite concerned. If she wasn’t so forlorn, she would have laughed.
“Yes, I’m sure. I’m used to getting home at night.”
Looking somewhat disappointed in her stubbornness, Obi-Wan leaned down and kissed her temple, holding his lips there a for a moment longer than she had expected.
Half to herself, Y/N spoke out into the night at no one in particular, “I’ll never see you again, will I?”
Again, Obi-Wan smiled down at her. “Perhaps one day.”
Then, Obi-Wan walked away into the crowd. Y/N soon lost him amongst the rest of the people, a strange feeling stirring in her stomach. She didn’t expect to ever meet anyone like him ever again, Jedi or not. Though, there was always the hope that one day, they may cross paths again.

Tumblr media
It’s far too humid, you think, standing at the edge of the covered balcony. The warm downtown air sticks to your skin, giving you a slight sheen from the sweat and city lights below you. Rain patters down outside, turning the concrete street a dark, muddy blur. It’s fresh, and wet, and invigorating.
A long drag of a cigarette has your eyes hazy with smoke, and your mind rushing with nicotine. It’s almost dizzying; the high you get from your first inhale.
You’re leaning against the window railing, dressed in only an untied robe. The cuffs pass your hands, leaving just enough of your fingers exposed to hold the cigarette without getting ash on the scratchy beige material.
“Darling?” Obi-Wan, who you thought was asleep says, his voice rough against the night air. “What are you doing up?”
You turn to him. He’s propped himself up on his elbow, staring at you. The cotton sheets fall dangerously low on his waist, while his shirt rides up, giving you the faintest glance of smooth skin. Skin you had touched just hours earlier.
You wave the cigarette that hangs between your fingers. “Smoking.”
He rolls his eyes. “Yes, I can see that. It’s almost dawn.”
You take one last drag before picking up the gaudy glass ashtray from the floor and stubbing out your cigarette, the ash smearing and sizzling as it fades. You don't return to the comfort of the bed, though you can feel his glare on the back of your neck. The pressure builds, you know he’s wondering why you’re still outside.
“What’s on your mind?” An inevitable question.
“Not tonight.” You don't face him.
He doesn’t push you, and it’s a small gesture you’re grateful for. His force signature lingers against yours, an act of comfort rather than aggression. He’s like that, you think, thoughtful in ways that others aren’t. He knows the secrets you keep so closely guarded without making you feel stripped and exposed. He’s gentle, and equally encouraging when you want him to be. In bed, he has become more rough, the way you like it, as he’s no longer afraid of hurting you. He knows your limits, and how to push you just enough to the edge of your breaking point. In a way, it’s equally more gentle, the ease of familiarity and intimacy guiding you both.
Your relationship has evolved into an odd semblance of something more, your original unspoken arrangement heavier than it once was. You know he feels the same, but you won’t dare admit it aloud, for the fear of what it would mean.
The way he looks at you from across the shared bedroom reminds you of the first time you broke your oath.
It started in a bar, and not a nice one either. It was the type of dive that served cheap beer and vodka that bordered on alcohol poisoning. The glasses were foggy, barely washed in between uses, but just enough to count as clean. Cracks in the crumbling brick walls were covered by old holographs from a time long ago when the bar was lively. The criminal underground of Coruscant could be rough on establishments.
Obi-Wan sat three seats over from you on your undercover assignment for the council. It was the early days of the war, when you were less likely to be recognized as famous Jedi generals. You couldn’t pinpoint how it happened, but there was a glint of hope in his eyes that provoked a heat within you.
The order wasn’t celibate. Physical intimacy could be achieved without attachment, so you were free to engage with whomever you desired. You never took Obi-Wan for the type of Jedi who slept around, though the rumours always circling the Temple left you curious.
Less than a minute later he had you crowded into a cramped bathroom stall, pushing you in enough to shut the door behind you. In an instant he spun you, your back pressed into the cool grey metal. His hands went to work, one resting on your hip, the other going beneath the skirt of your dress. He ran his hand along the thin fabric blocking your skin, enough to tease you into whimpering. He then dipped a hand into your panties, sliding between your folds. His cold callused fingers were heaven against your overheated skin.
The pads of his fingers pressed into your clit, rubbing you just enough to have you slick. Obi-Wan undid his pants, taking out his hard cock to line up against your entrance. In one swift movement, he pulled your thigh up to rest against his hip, then pushed inside of you, setting a brutal pace.
There were no caresses or soft kisses, just the pulsing thrusts and tight grip on your leg, where you knew there would be a hand-shaped bruise the next day. You didn’t complain, just took each thrust with a breathy moan. It was everything you needed that night to forget the war.
When he was nearing his climax, you quickly found your clit, circling it with your own fingers to come around his cock. A familiar Coruscanti tune playing from the jukebox muffled your noise from the empty bar, save for the bartender one room over. After you were finished catching your breath, Obi-Wan was out the door to complete the job, acknowledging it was a way to pass the time away from your own miseries. Nothing more.
It only progressed from there. A one night stand turned into several more, and then it was every time you saw each other, whether it was sneaking through the Temple to one of your rooms, in a bunk aboard a ship, or offworld, in depths of the galaxy where they didn’t know your names.
You’re reminded of the present when you hear Obi-Wan get out of bed. He stands behind you, gently brushing your hair to the side, and kissing the back of your neck. Goosebumps break out across your forearms from the unexpected touch and tickle of fingertips running down your overheated skin. His hands trail around your waist, finally settling on your stomach. He slowly moves one upwards to cup your breast, while the other trails between your legs. You realise he’s not in the mood to tease you when his thumb rubs firm, steady circles over your clit. Two fingers push inside of you, your slick walls only protesting out of sensitivity rather than lack of eagerness. When he curls his fingers, rubbing against you just right, you’re leaning back against him, face pressed into his neck. It doesn’t take long before you’re on the verge of orgasm. He doesn’t make you beg, just holds you as you cry out, going stiff against him.
“Come back to bed,” he whispers into your hair.
You whine, “I need more.”
He picks you up easily, taking a few steps and tossing you onto the bed. He climbs on top of you, kissing you with far too much tongue and teeth. It’s sloppy, lacking your usual precision.
“You’re insatiable, you know that?” He says, pulling away slightly. “I might have to make you come over and over until you beg me to stop.”
“Please! Fuck me,” you cry.
Slipping out of your needy grip, he leans back onto his heels to look down at you. You’re breathtaking to him; long hair framing your flushed face, all of you exposed to him, still donning his robe. You can tell he’s resisting the urge to tear into you right then, judging by his sudden composure. Instead, he crawls between your legs to taste you. Spreading your thighs, he places a kiss directly on your clit before lapping up your juices from your orgasm. You’re sweet and womanly, your taste unique to you alone.
Once, long ago after one of your many rendezvous, you confessed how he was the only man to make you come like that. You’ll never forget the indescribable mix of fondness and adoration on his face. It fills you with satisfaction knowing that he feels a certain pride between your thighs.
Shifting his focus upwards, he flicks his tongue against your clit, the motion akin to a candle flame fluttering. It’s too much, and not enough.
“I’m going to come if you keep doing that,” you say breathlessly, eyes squeezed shut.
He glances up at you. “I know darling, it’s okay. You can stop holding on, you can come.”
You tremble at his words, and he can feel the exact moment you release, your pussy throbbing against him. He lets you ride out your climax until you’re panting and gently pushing his head away from you. He moves back up to kiss you, opening his mouth to yours. You taste yourself on his tongue, until you’re not sure where he begins and you end.
“Please, just fuck me Obi,” you once again whine your earlier words.
With the absence of a scolding on your lack of patience, you know he’s just as desperate as you. He slips out of his underwear, finally resting his hard cock against your heat. You’re dripping, and it takes mere seconds to coat himself so he can push into your quivering depth.
You instinctively cry out at the intrusion, moaning a soft, “harder.”
That gets his attention. “Patience, dear, I haven’t even started. Be the good girl I know you are.”
You breathe out, a deep exhale through your mouth, forcing yourself to calm down until he moves inside of you. Contrary to his words, his own impatience shows as he thrusts deep, his full length enveloped by you. The silky walls of your pussy clamp around him, it’s tight, and ever so warm. There is no discomfort at his size, just a rich fullness that leaves your heart palpitating and your body throbbing. Grabbing at his shoulders, you pull him down so you’re pressed together. He’s so close you can hear his racing heartbeat, almost in sync with his thrusts.
“Please,” you mumble, the only comprehensible word to the rest of your lust-filled pleas. It’s a blend of your appreciation for him, and your need to come. Though even in your blissed out state, you can feel when he’s nearing his finish. His thrusts become sloppier, and he loses his rhythm he has so carefully built.
“Come for me, baby, I know you can,” he groans. “My good girl, always so good for me.”
His claim on you, the recognition that you are his pushes you over the edge. Obi-Wan thrusts once, twice more, and a warmth fills you deep within. Exhausted, and completely sated, you grin at him.
“My girl, always,” he whispers, kissing your shoulder.
Your heart soars as daybreak shines through the windows. It's vivid and golden, and mostly the colour of affinity.

The Three Times You Meet Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the Last: Obi-Wan Kenobi/Reader (GN)

Pairing: Obi-Wan Kenobi/Reader; gender-neutral reader with no mentions of their appearance.  Rating: MA, 18+ (Younglings, foundlings, and cadets, BEGONE!) Warnings: Mature content (no smut) — Angst, Clone Wars and Imperial era galaxy, events and aftermath of Order 66, war violence and descriptions of battle, mentions of PTSD and disassociation, death, pining, grief and hurt, language, SPOILERS FOR OBI-WAN KENOBI (SERIES), tagged accordingly Word Count: 5.5k
Tumblr media
The First Time
The onset of the Clone Wars brought change to your life, but you could not say that the life of a senator’s aide had been calm or peaceful even before the war. Your every day had been filled with annoying red tape and patience-trying bureaucracy and general political bullshit. And that was all before you got to your real job, which was to handle any and all administrative needs for Senator Organa, as well as any research that needed doing for whatever reason or another, most often into mundane, long-forgotten Republic laws and policies. You even functioned as his representative if needed.
And this time, it had been needed. 
Today found you aboard a Venator-class Star Destroyer, the Negotiator, en route to Scarif, a small world on the Outer Rim. Scarif was a tropical world, but it was rich with dense metals that would be invaluable to ship construction for the war effort. Many in the Republic Senate considered it too expensive to invest in Scarif, seeing how far it was from the Core Worlds, but your senator and some others disagreed. 
Not because it wasn’t expensive. It was. But because it would benefit the Republic in the long-run. 
This war had raged for less than a year now and the Republic had already spent billions on ship construction alone. And while you couldn’t deny that the destroyer you stood on was armed to the teeth and prepared for battle, Republic ships, quite frankly, could barely withstand battle. Nearly every week saw construction on a new fleet of ships for whatever legion or battalion or corps needed it. If the Republic was willing to invest so much in their clone army (an entirely different matter of its own), why were they not willing to invest in proper, safe, battle-enduring transport for that army? And with how often medical frigates, shipments, and stations were targeted, the Republic needed better ships to withstand the ever-advancing droids and weapons of the Separatists. 
You personally believed that investing in the metals Scarif offered would save the Republic money in the end, but more importantly, would save lives.
And all lives were worth protecting and saving.
“Everything all right, sir?”
You glanced over your shoulder, lips curling into a small smile. “Yes, Lieutenant, thank you. Is there an estimated time of arrival?”
“Yes, sir. Within the hour.”
“Thank you, Lieutenant.” 
“You seem pensive.”
A new voice cut in. Looking over your shoulder, your eyes fell on the owner of the new voice. 
With a poised stride, lilting accent, and dashing smile, Jedi Master Kenobi was too charming for his own good. And despite your better judgment, you felt your heart skip as he approached.
“I apologize, Master Kenobi. Were my thoughts too loud?”
After years spent on Coruscant, and many dealings with different Jedi, you were relatively familiar with some of their abilities, including how they could often sense the thoughts and feelings of others without meaning to. You were loath to think your thoughts were so loud they distracted him from his, likely, more important duties. 
“It wasn’t your thoughts. Rather your expression.” He still smiled at you, polite and friendly. With a nod, he dismissed the clone lieutenant assigned to assist you while on board.
“I will take that as advice to never play sabacc.”
Master Kenobi let out a surprised, bright laugh. You felt your own smile widen at the sound, which you admitted, somewhere in the back of your mind, was annoyingly beautiful. Though as soon as it quieted, you felt compelled to say something. 
“I must thank you, Master Kenobi, for transporting me to Scarif. I know you are not often away from the front lines.”
“And that is why this mission is such a relief for me and my men,” Master Kenobi instantly replied. “It’s not often we get assigned to peaceful negotiations.”
You couldn’t withhold a snort. Neither the word “peaceful” nor “negotiations” truly applied to your mission. It was plain old research, which you normally liked.
But you feared your Republic did not know the meaning of those words anymore. Peaceful. Negotiations. Neither did the Separatists. But the longer the war stretched, the more you began to wonder who this Republic was actually fighting this war for: its people, or its pride. 
“May I ask you something?”
“Of course, Master Kenobi.”
“Why become a senator’s aide?”
You looked over at the Jedi, meeting his blue eyes. “I believed in democracy. I believed in the Republic. And I wanted to serve it in whatever way I was able.”
And most of the time, you still felt that way. 
If Master Kenobi noticed the afterthought, he gracefully decided not to mention it. He instead said, “The Senate could use more people like you.”
It was his turn to startle a laugh from you, evidently. And his amiable smile became more of an amused smirk.
“Hardly,” you said. “I have no patience for days-long sessions and fake smiles and debating for debates’ sake. Senator Organa is a saint for putting up with it all.”
Master Kenobi chuckled. “A harmless little debate never hurt anyone.”
“Hmph, I’m not surprised to hear you say that,” you said. You smothered a smirk. “Your own negotiation exploits are quite... infamous.”
“Why must you call them exploits?” He sounded both amused and affronted. 
Your shoulders shook with laughter that bordered along giggle territory. 
“Master Kenobi, they can hardly be called ‘tactics’ when they end with General Grievous’ four lightsabers in your face.”
A snort sounded behind you. You turned in time to see General Kenobi’s marshal commander straightening. Master Kenobi tried to feign offense, but you saw his lip twitch. 
It spurned a rather smug grin from you. One that soon softened. 
“Well, whether this mission is a nice reprieve for you and your men or not, I am still grateful. So thank you, Master Kenobi.”
He smiled back, and it looked far more real and genuine than his practiced, polite smile. “You’re welcome.”
You both turned, knowing that it was time for you to get to the hangar where a smaller shuttle would take you to the surface. You had nearly arrived. 
“Would you perhaps mind some company on the surface?”
You were surprised by the offer, yet delighted. Not only would it be extremely beneficial to have a Jedi help you research the metals and assess the potential Republic partnership, but you also felt happy at the prospect of spending more time with this particular Jedi. 
You still had to tease him though.
“As long as you’re not planning on getting up to your exploits —”
“No promises.”
You smirked. “Then I would be delighted for your company, Master Kenobi.”
“The honor is mine, representative. And please, just Obi-Wan.”
You smiled, only your years of politics giving you the ability to temper the full-blown giddy grin it wanted to become. 
Yes, Obi-Wan was entirely too charming for his own good. 
The Second Time
“Obi-Wan Kenobi, I am so mad at you.”
A cocky grin was thrown your way. “Whatever for?”
Bastard. Stupid, charming, disgustingly attractive bastard.
Battle raged around you. Your ears rang with the constant whistling of blaster fire, and you could feel explosion shockwaves deep in your chest. Your face was streaked with ash, and your formal Alderaanian robes were torn and more than a little dirty.
The battle hadn’t been anticipated. And there had been no indication that the Separatists had any interest in D’Qar. It was in Republic territory, and there was no civilization to speak of. D’Qar had once been home to a great civilization, but all that was left of it was ruins. So you had gone there to do some research into maybe establishing a secret Republic base somewhere within the planet’s expansive forests. 
The first hour had gone well, and every hour after it had gone to utter shit. 
A blaster was held in your hand, and you were decidedly not afraid of using it. Obi-Wan had spotted the Separatist squad first, snagging his arm around your waist and yanking you to him just in time for a blaster bolt to appear where your head had just been. 
Three days later, the battle was still raging and communications off-planet were being jammed. No backup was coming, so you and the 212th were on your own. You had had the opportunity to negotiate a stalemate with the Separatist commander a day ago, but Obi-Wan had thoroughly karked that.
Not that it was going to succeed in the first place, but you still felt like giving Obi-Wan shit. His negotiation tactics truly were “exploits.”
“Cody!” Obi-Wan called. The hum of his lightsaber had become a strange comfort to you as the battle raged. When you heard the hum, you knew Obi-Wan was near. “Status report!”
“Waxer and Boil took a squad northwest, and scanners picked up even more clankers to the northeast. They just keep coming!”
“Are they trying to push us back or funnel us north?” you huffed aloud. Seemed like a weird tactic for them to only come in wide. It also didn’t seem like an effective ambush strategy. 
You truly hadn’t expected any response or reaction to your semi-rhetorical quip, but Obi-Wan looked at you like you’d personally won the battle for them. Despite the fact that it was very much still happening. 
“Cody, run a scan directly to the north, make sure they’re not pushing us into a trap!”
“Yes, sir!”
“We might make it out of this yet.”
Just as the words left Obi-Wan’s mouth, a rocket landed less than ten feet from you. Obi-Wan and you both reacted by throwing yourselves toward the other, and you collapsed against the forest floor in a tangled, limb-entwined heap.
“Had to say something, didn’t you?” you grouched.
Whatever Obi-Wan’s surely sassy retort was got swallowed by a second explosion, and his weight pressed down on top of you as the ground shook beneath you and trees splintered into wooden rain. You thanked the Maker that Obi-Wan probably attributed the frantic beating of your heart and flush of your cheeks to the heat of battle rather than the flush press of your chests. 
“General!”
“Cody!”
“Scanners picked up tanks and cannons due north. They’re pushing us into an ambush.”
“Fan the men out, try to maneuver around the droids, and make sure the men know not to be pushed in. Use the trees if you must. Take two platoons and circle around wide to the north, and we’ll take another platoon and meet them head on. I’ll confront the Separatists and keep them occupied until we can fully attack and take out the tanks and cannons.”
“Yes, sir!”
Obi-Wan looked at you, indicating that you’d be with him. There was no ordering you to stay behind. You’d already had that argument three days ago when the battle broke out. He’d lost when you’d told him, rightly, that he needed as many boots on the ground as he could get. You had a blaster and you were willing and able to fight. You served the Republic, wherever you were needed.
And this time, you were needed on the battlefield. 
“The Republic truly does need more people like you,” he’d said.
Again, he was entirely too charming for his own good. But you did not mind even a little bit.
The battle continued to rage as Obi-Wan cut a path down the middle, you somewhere amongst his platoon. Your blaster had never felt more natural and comfortable in your hands than it did right then, and if you had any awareness of anything other than the battle, it would rattle you to your core. But as it was, you were too focused on dodging searing bolts, not dying, and trying not to allow the beacon that was Obi-Wan distract you. 
He truly was an elegant fighter, with a refined, precise, absolutely devastating technique. Everything seemed to be about defense with him — deflecting blaster bolts, dodging them, whirling in and out of lines of battle droids. Only when he was too close to deflect bolts did he use his lightsaber to cut through the clankers. 
Though, as you noticed him twirl his blade in arcs of light, and practically dance in between the droids, you had to laugh that his fighting could be as flashy as his negotiations. 
You could instantly tell where the Separatists had laid their trap, because the deep, looming forest around you suddenly thinned. Trees had noticeably been cleared away, leaving a smoother ground beneath your feet that felt very out of place on a planet where the terrain was notoriously difficult. Even to you, someone who was most definitely not a soldier, this screamed trap.
And indeed, in an arc surrounding the clearer landscape was an impressive amount of tanks and cannons. 
Your arrival drew their fire instantly.
Knowing your blasters would do nothing against tanks and cannons, your platoon took cover behind the trees.
“Aim for the operators!” came Obi-Wan’s clear voice. “We need to draw their fire and give the others a chance to flank them!”
But every time someone took out a cannon operator or droid tank commander, another seemed to take their place. And their onslaught was constant and unrelenting. 
A clone only five feet away from you fell with a scream, and your throat squeezed closed. His name had been Draft.
You weren’t sure how long you continued firing from the cover of your tree. Your later memory of the battle would make it feel like it was both seconds and hours later when the Separatists’ onslaught suddenly faltered, and no less than five cannons and three tanks suddenly exploded.
“Move in!”
An entire battalion of droids seemed to meet you in the middle, and it was all you could do to shoot your way through them. The air glowed red around you, and the air itself smelled singed. Every time one of your shots pierced metal, it was like you were watching through someone else’s eyes. The edges of your vision were blurred, and everything seemed to happen too slowly to be real.
An arc of blue cut into your vision. You blinked. And everything became clear again. 
“We need to take out the transports, or the droids will just keep coming!”
Obi-Wan’s voice had never sounded as sweet as it did just then. The mere sound of it allowed you to breathe easier, and your entire body relaxed. You hadn’t even realized how tense you’d been.
“Got a plan?”
That annoying grin of his was back.
“Cover me?”
“What — Obi-Wan!!”
But he dashed away, cutting a path through the battle droids so fast and fiercely you could do nothing but follow.
Between you covering his flashy ass and his flashy lightsaber moves (and more than a few droid poppers and bombs courtesy of Cody), the Separatists were scrap, and the battle was won. 
Later, after the surrounding area was confirmed to be clear of droids and secure, Cody had to laugh as he saw the cross (albeit half-hearted) looks you kept tossing at his general, even as you stood right beside him.
“What did he do this time?”
“Nearly gave me a heart attack. I thought General Skywalker was supposed to be the reckless one.”
Obi-Wan pouted, actually, honest-to-maker pouted, as Cody laughed harder than you’d thought possible. But as you laughed as well, Obi-Wan could only join in.
You really loved his laugh.
The Third Time
You couldn’t say you were much of a singer, but the baby in your arms seemed content with your shaky rendition of a traditional Alderaanian lullaby. Luke was on the precipice of sleep, lulled by your voice and the gentle rocking of your arms. 
The calm soaring of the asteroid field outside the window did nothing for comfort you, neither did the glowing stars behind it. The skin of your cheeks pulled and itched uncomfortably from dried tears. And something deep inside you felt numb. The sweet little baby in your arms was the only thing keeping you grounded right now, so you clung to him in the quiet of the medical station.
Bail had long left with Luke’s sister, as the journey to Alderaan from the Polis Massa asteroid field was rather long. Little Leia had been swathed in warm blankets and the promise of a loving mother and father. Luke too would live happy and loved, away from the Sith and their empire. 
So much had happened in so little time. You could hardly believe it all. But these little babies would hopefully never have to remember the horrors they were born into. They would grow happy, healthy, loved and good.
They would never have to experience the horrors their family had. 
Padmé had been a dear friend to you for a long time, and the thought of her brought more tears to your eyes. You swallowed them back, lest they disturb little Luke. But the thought of Padmé Amidala only brought thoughts of Anakin Skywalker.
And how far and hard he’d fallen.
You had considered him a friend as well. Anyone dear to Padmé and Obi-Wan was dear to you. But your family now lay in tatters, and all that was left was a pair of infants, a trapped senator, the aide who had barely scraped by with their life, and the Jedi who had lost everything.
How had it come to this? How had it come to this.
Quiet footsteps broke through your haze. You recognized them instantly.
You had never seen Obi-Wan look so... subdued. His blue eyes didn’t twinkle as before, and the lines of his body drooped with exhaustion and grief. And yet still, you wondered if it had fully set in yet. What had happened. Anakin. Mustafar. Padmé. Order 66. The fall. The Empire. You wondered if it had fully set in yet, and if not, worried about when it inevitably did.
You worried for yourself too. It would not be long until you heard the ringing of blaster fire and the screams of friends in your dreams.
You’d had the unfortunate luck of being inside the Jedi Temple as Palpatine executed Order 66. You’d been meeting with Jedi Master Corrine Wallen about what it would take to introduce an initiative in the Senate regarding clone rights. With the war waning following the deaths of Count Dooku and General Grievous, it was past time to give the clones the rights they deserved. But as you and Corrine giggled over matching cups of tea, gossiping about mindless little things that made it feel like you weren’t still in the thick of war, Corrine’s giggles had suddenly stopped. And she had fallen, a hole in her chest smoking. 
And at the threshold of the door stood her own clone captain, Miles, his blaster smoking just the same. 
The Jedi Temple erupted into chaos. Clones stormed the place, their fire focused solely on their Jedi brothers and sisters. Lightsabers whirled through the air with sheer confusion and desperation, and the screams of younglings and masters alike echoed through the halls. Miles had not even answered you when you demanded what was happening, beyond a nearly robotic chant of good soldiers follow orders. 
The terror and horror it filled you with would live with you forever.
You had fought your way through the Temple, finger trembling over the trigger of your blaster as you defended the Jedi. It was then the clones turned their fire to you as well. An ally of the Jedi was an enemy to be executed. And you could still feel the stinging heat of the blaster bolt that had streaked past your cheek, leaving singed skin and inevitable nightmares in its wake. 
You’d finally escaped, finding Obi-Wan and Master Yoda hunched over footage of Anakin Skywalker, your friend, slaughtering children. 
What happened afterwards was a bit of a blur. You remembered Obi-Wan and the relief you’d felt seeing him alive. And that same relief mirrored in his own eyes as he looked at you. You remembered Padmé, and her vehement refusal that Anakin was responsible, and the anguish in her as she realized it was true. You remembered the orange and black and red hot surface of Mustafar, and Padmé’s tears as she confronted the man she loved. You remembered Obi-Wan’s lightsaber, ignited and turned on the man he had called brother, and the sheer pain in his eyes as he returned. He hadn’t needed to say it.
Anakin Skywalker was gone.
And now here you were, and the baby in your arms was as good as gravity. You’d surely float and fade away without him.
And you saw the same devastation in Obi-Wan’s eyes.
“The ship is ready,” he said, in barely a whisper.
You swallowed. And nodded.
It was with a tight chest and lump in your throat that you placed the sleeping baby into the little cradle hovering beside Obi-Wan. Tatooine wasn’t too far from Polis Massa, but Obi-Wan would not be returning. And you would not be going with him.
Your place was with Bail. You were not well-known enough to be identified as someone who escaped the Jedi Temple, so you were able to return with him to the Senate. And now with the rise of the Empire, he would need as much support as he could possibly get.
Your place was here. You could not go with Obi-Wan. No matter how much your heart ached to do so.
Obi-Wan looked at you with your heartache reflected in his eyes. But it seemed neither of you were able to say anything. For what was there to possibly say?
But you took a small communicator, untraceable and simple, and pressed it into Obi-Wan’s hands. 
“Just in case.”
Obi-Wan left you with an embrace as memorable as he was. And you knew, as you looked back out at the asteroid field, that it would never leave you.
You would never want it to.
You began to cry.
The Last Time
Obi-Wan walked into the cave of a hovel that had been his reality and home for ten years now. Ever wary, Obi-Wan had been on edge since the moment he’d been alerted of an intruder in his home. And he was prepared to do whatever he had to.
A cloaked figure stood in the cave, practically haloed by the light of the setting suns.
They raised their head, turned, and flicked the hood away.
Obi-Wan nearly stumbled. You were still so beautiful.
“Hello, Obi-Wan.” The mere sight of him had a smile shining in your eyes. “It’s been a long time.”
He slowly relaxed, exhaling heavily. “You should not have come.”
You admitted that it was risky for you to come to Tatooine, but it was a risk you would take a million times over if it meant saving Leia.
“You know I had to.”
Obi-Wan had aged in the past decade. His hair was longer, more scraggly, and the auburn color was fading to a greyed brown. His skin was tanned and weatherbeaten; his clothes were roughspun. You watched as grains of sand rained from his poncho as he pulled it from his shoulders. His boots had seen better days, and frankly, he looked like he needed a shower. But what struck you most was his eyes. 
They were haunted.
Haunted by the horrors of the past, and the bleakness of the future. You wondered if he was sleeping, or if dreams plagued him as much as they did you. Probably more considering his connection to the Force. And as your eyes flicked to his waist, you saw no lightsaber.
Probably for the best, but it was still jarring.
Nevertheless, before you stood the Jedi you had, against all common sense, grown to love. And though everything had changed in the decade since you’d seen each other, that love you felt was so familiar and comforting that seeing Obi-Wan felt like coming home. 
“It’s good to see you, Obi-Wan. Truly.”
His expression softened, and you saw his lips turn up. His smile, too, was changed. Yet you loved it all the same.
“And you. And you.” But as your smile grew, his faded. “But I’ll tell you what I told Bail and Breha. Find someone else.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“No! Obi-Wan, don’t you get it? There is no one else!” You strode towards him. “You are the only one we trust to find Leia!”
“My place is here, with Luke!”
“Luke is fine! He is safe! But Leia —” Your voice broke. “They took her. She’s only ten, Obi-Wan, she’s still just a kid. And someone took her! She’s in danger!”
You inhaled sharply, forcing yourself to calm down. Obi-Wan didn’t deserve you yelling at him. Your voice softened. “Despite the sudden appearance of Inquisitors in Mos Eisley, don’t think I didn’t notice, the Empire has no presence on Tatooine. But Leia... She and her parents are public figures in the heart of the Imperial Senate. We cannot risk sending ourselves or a bounty hunter, lest word about her reach the wrong people. And you know this, Obi-Wan.”
He didn’t look at you, and for a long moment, you started to believe he wouldn’t even respond. Until he finally did, in a broken, burdened voice.
“I’m not the same man I once was.”
Your heart ached. “Obi-Wan —”
“No, I failed. I failed! And I won’t fail again! You have to ask someone else. Ask someone else!”
The outburst seemed to drain him, his shoulders slumping as soon as the words were out. He squeezed his eyes shut, and truly, your heart ached.
“Obi-Wan...” You dared to reach up and cup his weathered cheek. He leaned into the touch unconsciously, starved for it. Then consciously, craving it. “We all made mistakes. And no one has forgotten the past. But we cannot cling to it. It is to our future we now must look. And our future lies with Luke and Leia.” You brought your other hand up, cradling the face of a suffering man in as gentle of a hold as you could manage, for Tatooine was not a gentle place. “I do not have the skills to go after Leia myself, Obi-Wan. And I’m too recognizable now. So Bail sent me here to watch over Luke while you rescue Leia. He would never ask you to leave the boy on his own.”
Obi-Wan’s hands, trembling, slowly came to cup over your own.
“I know you have suffered, Obi-Wan. More than anyone. And it’s not fair to ask more of you than you have already given, and I wish desperately I did not have to ask at all. But there is no one else we trust to find her, Obi-Wan.” Your lips wobbled, thinking of the princess. That imp of a girl with absolutely no filter, more sass than seemed possible for her tiny little body, and all the makings of a galaxy-rocking leader. Your niece, for all intents and purposes, who you loved with all your heart.
“We cannot let them, let her suffer as we have, Obi-Wan.”
It nearly broke you, seeing the tears your words brought to his eyes. And you’d meant it when you’d said you wished you did not have to ask this of him, but you had no choice. Obi-Wan truly was the only one you and the Organas trusted to find and save Leia.
He was your only hope. 
“You’ll stay with him?”
Obi-Wan’s voice had roughened in the last decade. The accent was no less lilting, but where once his voice had seemed silken and even musical at times, it was now roughened from a decade of Tatooine sands and grief.
You still loved it all the same.
“I promise.”
Obi-Wan’s lips touched yours so gently tears instantly sprang to your eyes. Everything was different. You, him, the galaxy, everything. But here and now, with his unpracticed, chapped lips against yours and his greying beard scratching delightfully against your skin, you could swear it was the closest you would ever come to finding solace. 
So you cradled Obi-Wan’s head in your hands and kissed him as gently and tenderly as he deserved.
“I’m sorry, my love,” came his whisper after you’d pulled away. His eyes were still wet, and you knew he wasn’t apologizing for the kiss, but rather that you’d never have the opportunity for it to become more. 
You smiled, gently.
“I’m not.” You pecked his lips. “This was a gift, Obi-Wan. You are a gift. To the twins, to the galaxy. To me. Don’t apologize for making me happier than I’ve been in the last ten years.”
Obi-Wan surged forward, kissing you with still unpracticed, but passionate abandon. Smiling beneath him, you guided his lips into a rhythm, continuing to hold and kiss him with everything you weren’t able to voice. Reverence. Appreciation. Grief for what could’ve been. Yearning. Relief. Happiness.
Love.
You helped him pack. He showed you the best spots to observe and watch over the Lars farm. He offered you his credits so you could get food in town. You shoved them and more back at him when you saw how little he truly had. And then snuck more into his stash when he wasn’t looking. 
And when Obi-Wan left you the next morning, a lightsaber on his hip and his kiss still searing your lips, you truly felt happier than you had in a very long time.
You weren’t sure how long it would take for him to return, though you had complete faith he would find and save Leia, so you settled in. Luke was a cute kid, just like his sister. And you were endlessly amused at how alike they were without even knowing. More than once you had caught Leia sneaking into the woods or kitchens in order to escape her responsibilities. And similarly, you’d now observed Luke, more than once, sneak away from his uncle and chores in favor of pretending to be a pod racer or playing with his toys. Not to mention both of them seemed to like watching the incoming and outgoing ships.
Indeed, you felt happy. 
______________
The age of the Empire had seemed to stretch for centuries, and you felt you could remember each agonizing, oppressive day with excruciating detail. Nineteen years. Nineteen years since that fateful, horrific day.
And yet you felt change was coming.
Leia now was the Galactic — Imperial — Senator of Alderaan, and you served as her aide just as you had served her father. And while your days were still filled with bureaucratic nonsense and political lunacy and senseless cruelty that all came together to be your personal, ongoing nightmare, you still continued to serve as you always had: to the best of your ability. 
Though Leia had still yet to curb the compulsion to straight-up tell others they were morons. Sometimes, you were tempted to let her.
News of Scarif had been both terrifying and exhilarating. The Alliance to Restore the Republic, the rebellion you proudly and secretly served, had finally secured their first true victory against the Empire. But many had given their lives for such a victory, and part of you feared it was not over. More was still to come. Word of the Death Star, the Imperial superweapon and planet-killer was a harrowing thing. Both Jedha City and Scarif had met their fates by it. 
But with this victory, and with the stolen Death Star plans, you had real, genuine hope that the Empire would not win. 
Leia had been on her way back to Alderaan from Coruscant when word of Rogue One’s mission spread through the Rebellion. And as the battle loomed, Leia lied in wait nearby, ready to receive the secret, stolen plans. Ready to receive hope. 
But with Leia occupied with bringing the plans to the Rebellion, it was up to you to step up and represent her in the Senate. So you were packing your things to return to Coruscant. 
You liked the congested planet even less now than you did twenty years ago.
“Ready?”
You smiled at Bail over your shoulder. He truly was your oldest and dearest friend. You admired and trusted him like none other.
“Never.”
He chuckled. “You are more than capable.”
“Of course I’m capable, I just don’t like it.”
Bail laughed more heartily. “Oh, my friend, as always, I’ll miss you while you’re gone.”
You smiled. “I’ll miss you too, Bail. Walk me to my shuttle?”
“As if you need to ask.”
But as you and Bail left your home, the sky darkened, like it had been taken by a sudden night.
And indeed, when you looked up, shielding your eyes, you could see a large, moon-like sphere eclipsing the sun.
Terror seized your body. That was no moon.
Across the galaxy, inside a hunk of junk masquerading as a Corellian freighter, Obi-Wan Kenobi clutched his heart and fell.

If Only - Part Three
Part One -- Part Two
Plot: Four years after Obi-Wan goes into exile on Tatooine, he begins to dream of Y/n, someone he thought he had lost. But as these dreams begin to feel more like visions and messages, Obi-Wan begins to wonder if maybe you aren't gone after all. Meanwhile, a very much alive Y/n is being held captive by Empire allies.
Pairing: Obi-Wan Kenobi x GN!Reader
Warnings: Mentions of blood, injuries, torture, screaming, death. Weapons (blasters).
Words: 3.7k
Notes: Takes place four years after Revenge of the Sith movie. Angst + Whump with a happy ending. This is the last part of this short series. The "Netherworld" is in reference to where the Jedi go when they die. Sometimes you can see or contact them, as seen in some of the movies.

The dream was different this time. He was in a place he didn't recognize. But he could hear you speaking, your voice was muffled, as if you were under water.
He began walking down the corridor, at least he thought it was a corridor. The walls seemed to be made of water, the path in front of him darkened by shadow.
He stopped as your voice called out again. No longer muffled, but distant, and sad. "If there is anyone left, please. Can anyone hear me?"
"Y/n?" He called you, is own voice seeming to echo around him.
"Obi-Wan?" Your voice returned.
He felt his heart racing. "Y/n! What is this?"
"Obi-Wan, where are you? Why can't I see you?"
"Y/n, where are you?"
"Obi-Wan? Obi-Wan!"
Suddenly, within the darkness, a scream pierced his ears. You were screaming, you were in pain. You were dying.
As his eyes shot open, he could still hear the sound of your voice echoing in his head. Sitting up, he looked around, as though he expected you to be right there in front of him.
Rubbing his eyes he remembered your scream, piercing, horrible. Was he somehow connected to your memory through the force? Was that you dying? No. No it was just a dream.
Getting out of his bed, he looked out the window, dawn was just beginning. Looking around the room he let out a long sigh. His eyes lingered on a small chest on the floor. Walking over, he opened it, before rifling through and pulling out a cloth pouch. Dumping the contents into his hand he sat back on he bed.
Staring down at the pendant, he thought back on the last day he saw you. That last day. Though it was four years ago, he could still remember the way it felt to kiss you. And how painful it was to see you walk away from him. He thought he would see you again, but then everything changed, and everything ended, and you were gone.
There were very few Jedi left, and he was sure, at least at first, that you weren't one of them. He had learned from Master Yoda later on where you had been stationed after he left. From what he could learn, every Jedi in that sector had been killed by the Empire. You were one. At least, that's what he had thought these past four years.
But recently, since these dreams started, he began to wonder if that was true. What you said in the dream. "Where are you? Why can't I see you?" What did that mean? Why would you be reaching out to him if you were dead?
He had tried to reach out before, with the force, to contact you in the Netherworld, like some could those with those who had died. But nothing happened. Was that what this was now? Him reaching out subconsiously, hearing your last moments some how?
Looking back down at the pendant, he squeezed it tight in his fist. Bringing his fist up to his face he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. He felt regret and guilt building up in his gut. Regret at having never had the chance to be with you. Guilt at chasing you away.
"Obi-Wan."
His eyes shot open as he looked around the room. Standing up he called out. "Y/n?"
That was your voice, it sounded as though you were right there. But you sounded tired, weak, sad. Taking a deep breath he focused with the force. He could feel you, a connection surrounding him. "Y/n?"
Hearing a guttural scream echo throughout his house he let out a startled breath, and the connection disappeared.
"Y/n" He said softly to himself.
This was not you reaching out from the Netherworld, it couldn't be. He needed to find out what happened to you. He needed to know if he was mourning you for four years, while you were still out there. And if you were out there, why were you in such pain?
----------------
"Obi-Wan, where are you? Why can't I see you?" You swear you had heard his voice, as though he was right there. Hearing nothing in return you called out again, desperation in your voice. "Obi-wan? Obi-Wan!"
Before you could reach out again, the torture continued, but you tried to hold the connection, you didn't want to be alone. You had been trying for weeks now to reach out with the force. To either contact another Jedi, or get help from someone in the Netherworld. But nothing had happened, no one came.
But then you heard his voice. Obi-Wan's, but you could't see him. From everything you heard, you should see him. Were you not strong enough to reach out to the Netherworld?
Some time had passed since you had heard Obi-Wan's voice. You closed your eyes and leaned back against the cold wall, a tear streaming down your face. You had been in this place for weeks now, having been captured by allies of the Empire.
You thought back on everything that had happened as you sat in the darkness. After the deaths of most of the Jedi, you ran. You barely survived being killed, but now you were alone, and lost. You tried to find out more about the remaining Jedi, but found little over the years. Obi-Wan, Yoda, Anakin, everyone was gone.
But your questions drew attention, and now you were a captive being tortured for information. They thought you were a spy for the remaining Resistance. Even though you truly knew nothing about them anymore, they did not believe you. You were glad they had no way of knowing you had been a Jedi, but you feared they might find out somehow.
Hearing steps echoing down the corridor, closer and closer, you took a deep breath. They were coming for you, again. Maybe this time your body would finally give up.
Feeling a sudden rush of frustration wash over you, you shook away the thought of giving up. That wasn't you. You needed to remember who you were. Obi-Wan's voice echoed through your mind. 'Remember who you are.'
If you were going to die here, it wouldn't be while getting tortured. It would be while escaping. While fighting.
As the cell doors slid open, you looked up at the man in front of you. One of the guards you seemed to take a liking to hurting you. Looking down at you, he sneered, teeth showing, standing up, you let him get close, and you smiled back at him.
-----------------
Obi-Wan looked down at the planet from orbit, it was small, and in the center of a large city, was a large military-like base, run by allies of the Empire.
After a few days of searching for information, he finally found a resistance spy. The spy knew nothing about you, whether you were dead or alive. The only information they had, was that recently, a supposed spy had been taken by these empire allies to be tortured for information.
There was nothing to prove that it was you, but Obi-Wan couldn't shake this feeling in his gut that told him it was you down there. Alone, in pain, reaching out to anyone who was still around that might hear you. And the closer he got, the more the feeling increased.
So whether or not he was going to find you, or another resistance spy, there was no turning back, not now.
--------
You crept through the corridor, staying in the darkness, as you tried to avoid being seen. You didn't know how long it would be before a guard found that it was not you in your cell, but the guard who was supposed to watch you.
Hand gripped around a stun cane, you hid in the darkness as someone ran past. You let out a shaky breath as you began moving again, every part of your body screaming in pain. Sweat was caking your brow, your hands shaking, head aching. You could feel the warm stain of blood on your side as you moved, your wounds having opened during your fight with the guard.
Rounding the corner, you stumbled to a stop as you came face to face with one of the guards. He didn't hesitate before lunging at you with his own stun cane.
Dodging the first blow, you swung your cane, hitting him in the leg. Yelling out in anger, he struck back, hitting you in the shoulder, the shock causing you to drop your own cane.
Striking you again, right in your wounded side, you groaned in pain before you grabbed his arm, pulling and flinging him over your shoulder. As he hit the ground, you grabbed his cane, forcing to his neck until he passed out. Rising, you stumbled into the wall, breathing heavily.
You flinched as you heard the sound of blaster fire echoing from somewhere else in the base. A moment later, the lights began flashing as an alarm started wailing. Grabbing the guard, you dragged him into a nearby storage room, taking his cloak, you put it on, hoping you could blend in.
As you got closer to the docking bay, you heard blaster fire getting closer. You jumped back as guards an past, paying you no mind, as the hood of your cloak shrouded your face.
You could see the docking bay just ahead of you, there was an intruder there, but you needed to steal a ship to get away. A sudden thought entered your mind. What if the intruder was here for you?
Quickly, doubt replaced the hope that built at the thought. No one was coming for you, you needed to get out yourself. Feeling you vision blur momentarily, you leaned against the wall. Looking back towards the docking bay as three more guards ran in, you felt panic begin to rise as the doors began to shut. Running, ignoring the pain and dizziness, you managed to barely make it as the doors shut behind you.
Hearing blaster fire just ahead of you, you dove behind a large container. Peaking out, you saw the guards firing on someone at the edge of the room. You could only see a glimpse of the person as they occasionally reached out to fire.
You watched as a guard tried to sneak up on them, and as they went behind a container, your eyes widened when you saw them fly back, and into the wall, unconscious.
'A Jedi? Did someone really hear me? Obi-Wan?' Creeping around the edge of the room, your thoughts ran wild. 'It can't be Obi-Wan, he's dead. Isn't he?'
As you peaked around another container, you felt your whole body freeze. You could see enough of him now, his face peaking out from beneath his own cloak as he fired on the guards. "Obi-Wan." You whispered, feeling your head spin.
As a blaster shot grazed past Obi-Wan's head, you came out of your shock, realizing he was outnumbered.
Looking around, you saw a nearby blaster, lying beside a dead guard. Taking a deep breath, and pushing past the screaming pain in your body and the weakness you felt threatening. You ran out, grabbing the blaster and firing at the guards.
Obi-Wan looked over at the sound of nearby blaster fire. He prepared to fire, but stopped as he saw the cloaked figure firing on the guards. As the figure ducked away from blaster fire, Obi-Wan rose, firing on the rest of the guards.
After the last guard finally fell, he let out a breath of relief. But jumped when a shot blew past him, spinning back, he saw a guard that had snuck up on him, fall to the ground. Turning back around, he aimed his blaster at the cloaked figure.
As Obi-Wan pointed his blaster at you, you lowered yours, and raised your hands up. Your voice was caught in your throat, though you wanted nothing more than to call out to him.
Slowly, you raised your hands towards your face, grabbing the edge of your hood, and pulling it back.
You saw Obi-Wan's face change to surprise as he slowly lowered his gun. "Y/n." His voice came out, barely audible.
You let out a soft breath and smiled at him. "Obi-Wan." You took a small step forward, but felt your vision blur.
Obi-Wan ran towards you as you began to fall to the ground. Catching you in his arms before you hit the ground, he brought his hand to your face. "Y/n!" Your face was bruised, tired, and dirty. Looking down, he saw blood seeping through the cloak.
He could hear banging on the walls of the docking bay he had rigged to close. Scooping you up into his arms, he ran back the way he came, hoping he was not too late to get to you.
Your eyes fluttered open as cold metal was pressed against your back. Looking through blurred vision, you saw Obi-Wan at the head of the small ship.
Your eyes closed again.
"Y/n. Y/n?"
Obi-Wan's voice pulled you from the darkness. As you opened your heavy eyes, you saw him leaning over you. You were still on the ship.
"It's alright now, we've escaped."
You stared into his eyes for a moment, unaware a tear was streaming down your face. As Obi-Wan wiped it away, you forced yourself to speak.
"H-how? I thought, you were dead."
He smiled sadly as he kept his palm to your cheek. "I thought the same of you. Until the dreams."
"So that was really you that I heard?"
He nodded his head once.
Another tear fell as you felt your eyes growing heavier again. "I-I thought that...I was alone."
Obi-Wan felt his own eyes beginning to burn hot. "Not anymore." He said softly.
As you met his eyes briefly, he felt his gut clench when your eyes closed, and your body went limp. Quickly grabbing what medical supplies he had, he laid you flat down on the ground.
Seeing to your wounds, he almost felt sick. It seemed that your whole body was bruised, small burns littered your side, and you had multiple wounds, the worse was on your side, which was still bleeding.
Thinking back on why you were in the docking bay, he saw your knuckles freshly red. You must have begun your own escape. But how long had you been there? Guilt rocketed through him. If only he had listened to the dreams before, when they first started.
Wipeing at your face, he stared down at you. Through the dirt and bruises, he could still tell you were just as alluring as you had been. Oh how he missed looking at you.
Turning and looking out of the ship window, he note that you'd arrive back on Tatooine in a few hours. He would take you back to his home. You would be safe there. He would have to tell you about Anakin. Padme, Luke, Leia. There was so much you weren't there to see. And he was sure there was much you had to tell him.
Covering you with his cloak, he began to gently stroking your face. After everything he had lost, somehow, the universe brought you back to him. This time, he would not make the mistake of letting you go again.
------------------
As your eyes fluttered open, you felt a moment of panic and confusion. Sitting up you let out a small wince, as pain shot through your side. Looking around the small hut like structure, you wondered where you were.
Suddenly remembering everything that had taken place, you climbed out of the bed and walked to the door. Stepping out into the hot sun's light, you looked around desperately.
And as Obi-Wan rounded the corner, water pale in hand, you felt an almost overwhelming mix of relief rush through you.
As his eyes landed on you, he stopped in his tracks. Slowly setting down the water pale, he watched you, seeing various emotions crossing your face.
"You're finally awake." He mused softly, days of worry, watching over you, fading into relief.
"I thought it was a dream." You said softly. "When I woke up I thought I was...back there."
He walked towards you. "It wasn't a dream. You're safe."
Your eyes scanned his face, and it seemed as though he had aged much more than you'd expected. Then again, you didn't know what these last four years had been like for him.
As he stopped in front of you, you felt overwhelmed again, and threw yourself forward, wrapping your arms around his neck tightly. A moment later you felt his arms wrap around you as well.
"All this time." You didn't finished your thought, you knew he knew exactly what you meant.
All this time, thinking the other was dead. All this time alone. All this time, you were so close to each other, yet so far away.
Pulling away, you met his eyes again, and he smiled at you. You felt your heart quake at the sight. You had missed that smile.
Going back to grab the water, he walked back to you and took your hand in his. "Come, lets go inside. We have a lot to discuss."
You stared at the floor, processing everything Obi-Wan had told you. About Anakin. About Padme's death, and her two children. That one was on this very planet.
You felt a tear stream down your face, and you quickly wiped it away. Looking at Obi-Wan, you could see heavy emotion weighing over him. You were close to Anakin, but not nearly as much as Obi-Wan.
"How could he do it?" You asked softly as you shook your head.
Obi-Wan shook his head softly. "I've been asking myself that for years."
"And the boy. Luke, he's safe here?"
He nodded his head. "Yes. I check in on him every now and again." Clearing his throat he looked at you, scanning you for a second. "Now, what happened to you? I had heard that every Jedi in that sector you were in was killed. How did you survive?"
You let out a soft scoff. "I barely did. Sometimes I still wonder how. I was injured, pretty severely. But to my luck, I had befriended some resistance members on the planet. I made it to them, and they saved me. By the time I regained my strength...it was all over. Everyone was gone."
There was a moment of thick silence hanging in the air. Looking around the small hut, you smiled to yourself.
"What?" Obi-Wan asked.
"I just thought about you staying here, alone. You must get so restless."
He smiled softly and shrugged his head. "I keep busy when I can. But yes, you are correct. But, I suppose that will change now."
"How so?" You asked softly as you met his gaze.
"Well I'm not alone anymore now am I? Or did you think I was going to shoo you off on your way?"
You let out a breathy laugh. "I hadn't really thought that far."
"Or is it...that you have somewhere to go back to?"
He didn't say it, but you knew the unspoken question, you felt it. Do you have someone to go back to?
You shook your head softly. "No. I have nowhere to go back to, not really. I never stayed in one place for too long."
He nodded his head. "Then you can stay here. With me."
You felt your hear hammering in your chest. After all these years, he still did that to you. And for some reason, you still felt like you had to run away.
You looked out the window. "Master Yoda isn't going to show up suddenly and tell me to leave is he?"
A short laugh escaped Obi-Wan, taking him by surprise. "No. No, and if he did I would certainly not be sure what to expect from him."
Standing suddenly, he walked over to the table before walking back to you. He sat down in font of you, and took your hand in his. You felt him press something into your palm.
Even before you opened your hand, you knew what it was. The pendant. You stared down at it, memories rushing through your mind. The day he gave it to you. Your first kiss. Your last kiss.
"We may still be Jedi, in our hearts, in our whole beings. But..."
You looked up, meeting his eyes. "But?"
"But, there is no Jedi Order anymore. I do not know how long we must remain dormant, hidden away. So until then, we should live as we wish to. Do the things we want. Be with, who we want." Reaching out, he enclosed his hands around yours. "We must remember who we are. But that includes who we love."
"Love?" Your whispered out.
"Yes. No matter how hard I had to push it away, it was there. And there it remains." Taking your hand, he brought it to his chest. You could feel his heart beating heavily in his chest. "Here."
You took in a sharp breath as you met his eyes. "All those years ago, back on that ship. We mused about, 'if only things were different'. I don't think either of us imagined things being how they are now. But they are different."
"Yes." Inching forward, he brought his other hand up to your face, cupping your cheek. "So many things are different. Frightening even. But one thing that never changed, was how I feel for you. And all these years I ached with guilt at having never had the courage to act on them. Guilt for having never been with you the way I wished. But now..."
"We can be together?" You asked in a whisper, as his face inched closer, his nose brushing yours.
"Yes. We can be together now, Y/n. There is nothing that can stop it now."
Closing you eyes as his lips pressed against yours, you pushed away your thoughts. Thoughts about what you had lost, what you would never find again. If only you had never lost your friends. If only you had not lost your home.
Instead you embraced what you were feeling. Relief at no longer being completely alone. Relief at finding Obi-Wan. Happiness of finally being with him again.
Wrapping your arms around him, he pulled your closer, deepening the kiss. He held you tightly against him, knowing that no matter what, he had you.
xx End xx
I struggled a bit with this part unfortunately, but I hope you enjoyed it!

Could you do romance tropes with Star Wars characters?
I sure as hell can!
Pairing: Anakin, Obi-Wan, Darth Maul, Kanan, Poe, Kylo Ren x Reader
Tags: fluff, secret relationship, making out, sneaking around, flirting, denial, confession, lots of tension
A/N: I should expand on these one of these days cause they're all so good.
ANAKIN + NOBODY THINKS IT WILL WORK
He is a big flirt so of course everyone figures that it's a short term thing. Almost like they're just waiting to see how long you last before Anakin gets bored of you. No one except for you can see just how much he's fallen for you. It may have started with nothing but lustful nights and kisses but it's so much more now. He's seeking you out, holding your hand, talking about what will happen after the war, how he can give you a good life. He swears he will make things work.
OBI-WAN + UNREQUITED LOVE
He knows there's something there from how you look at him, he can feel it on his own heart as well, a feeling that Obi-Wan hasn't felt in so long. Of course he needs to wait until things have settled down before he does anything about this feeling. It's not that you don't like him back, you do but you can't bring, allow yourself to love him. You know it would tear him apart to have to choose between you and the Jedi. So when he confesses you convince him, and yourself that you don't love him back.
DARTH MAUL + LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP
Oh man, the tension between you can't be cut even by a lightsaber. No matter how many times you say you hate each other you always find a way into each others arms. Everything you do has an undertone of competition, it's way you both always walk away with so many marks on you. When you and Maul work together you always tease each other, you always try to fluster the other by outdoing each other and somehow relaying it back to the things that happen behind closed doors.
KANAN + LOVERS IN DENIAL
You live together, you sleep together, you tease and flirt and kiss each other, but no, you and Kanan are not lovers. You're together because you fit each other like a glove but you both deny any romantic feelings there. It makes you the subject of much gossip in the Rebellion but you try not to let it get to you much. When you think you hear the other confess you pretend it didn't happen. Not yet. You're gonna confess properly after the war. Until then what you have is enough.
POE + UNDERCOVER RELATIONSHIP
You and Poe get along really well, which is why you were chosen for an undercover mission. It was supposed to stay only that, you should have remained professional, but your hands and mouth and tongues had other plans. It may have started as an undercover relationship but by the end of the mission it's looking more like that was just an excuse for your true feelings to come to light.
KYLO REN + SUNNY VS GRUMPY
He doesn't want anyone to know you're in this sort of a relationship. You have to sneak in and out of his bedroom, but little doors he know that it makes you very happy to know you have such a special place in his heart. He will never admit it, he will have his angry face on whenever you point this out to him and it won't go away if you kiss him, you have to work much harder to get Kylo to stop frowning.
