#and obi-wan is like well might as well stya for dinner

[tennessoui]

can’t believe there’s no balcony neighbors to friends to lovers obikin au

so like imagine like anakin and obi-wan live in apartments that face each other and are separated by a narrrow alleyway, so when both are out on their own balconies, they can pretty easily see each other and talk. they don’t but they could is the thing, it’s just a weird sort of line to step over, being in someone’s space so intimately but not being invited there, witnessing someone’s life move along like an unstoppable ocean current, but not being in the water with them.

anakin knows what book obi-wan is reading and which newspaper he subscribes to. obi-wan knows anakin’s favored brand of beer and how he sounds when he sings his baby to sleep. anakin has overheard many arguments between obi-wan and his lawyer and his estranged wife about the divorce case. they’re physically close enough that when anakin steps out one summer night, obi-wan can wordlessly pass him a cigarette over the divide. “i don’t smoke normally,” obi-wan says, with a flick of his wrist to shake loose the ash. “i know,” anakin says, because he does. “divorce was finalized yesterday,” obi-wan says. “i know,” anakin says, because he does. “my name’s obi-wan,” obi-wan says. “anakin,” anakin says because he hadn’t known that.

#kit's silly lil aus #obikin #to the surprise of no one i am currently ssitting out on my house's balcony #and someone came out and sat on their balcony/sunroom #and started playing guitar and singing #and i was like whoa i don't know your name or whaat you do but you can sing well #and honestly i'd marry you in a heartbeat lol #(might be the glass of wine talking) #(or i have more anakin in me than previously assumed) #anyway obi-wan gets a grill and puts it on his balcony #and goes inside while something is cooking #and anakin is like!! it's on fire!! the food iss ruined ! ! #and jumps over to save obi-wan's food #and obi-wan is like well might as well stya for dinner #also obi-wan is shocked whn anakin has 2 babies #he really thought it was just the one #kit: can't believe this au doesn't exist yet #also kit: have this incredibly niche au i havent seen in any other fandom and don't think is a well known trope
