oooh for Smithsonian au what if one of them gets into some serious trouble at work? all i can think of is obiwan is possibly cleaning a shark tank exhibit but maybe gets his suit punctured by a sharp rock or sea urchin and he starts bleeding from a small scratch and he realizes the shark smells him and his suit is filling up with water and tries not to freak out and call for help. and anakin finds out and rushes over and idk maybe obi wan almost drowns and anakin realizes they (he) could have lost obi wan. he could have been hurt or possibly killed if no one was there. idk you can adjust this too if you have another idea about how they realize their feelings. obiwan goes to the hospital and he asks for anakin and could ask why he saved him or he just thought of him before he blacked out from lack of oxygen

oh!! so i love this absolutely but there are no shark tanks in the museum :< but actually there SHOULD be and i can see something happening when obi-wan is out at the baltimore national aquarium doing research or something

but im gonna take this idea and run with it and throw in like. a bit more angst if that's possible but a lot more guilt

but lets say anakin goes to collect padmé for lunch on their break but padmé has callen in sick and forgotten to tell him but she's also scheduled it so obi-wan is waiting on the steps because he thinks they're going to lunch

and anakin sees obi-wan and he's immediately like 'what are you doing just standing around out here? looking for water?'

and obi-wan is like 'no actually im looking at the sky trying to find a single thing of academic interest. oh! there's one. no, never mind. it's just a plane.'

anyway so anakin calls padme as he's glaring at obi-wan and obi-wan is trying to call padmé too but padmé makes a group chat with both of them (while ignoring all their calls) and she's like 'ah im sorry i forgot to say i can't go to lunch today but you two should! reservations are here.'

and so theyre both like 'of course we're not going to do that' and then start off in the same direction but they're arguing the entire time

and obi-wan turns his back to keep arguing right as he's crossing the street and he doesn't see the approaching car but anakin does and he has this split second of terror that obi-wan is going to die from arguing with him that he grabs at the front of his shirt and pulls it so hard towards him that it rips completely and also obi-wan topples over onto anakin

and anyway obi-wan is like scared too but not going to show it so he's like 'you owe me a shirt' and anakin is like '....fine' because he's too shaken up to argue. and then he's like 'i know just the place.'

and he takes him to the air and space museum's gift shop and buys him a NASA hoodie and he comes out and he's like 'and i even bought lunch for you' and it's the dehydrated space food

a year or so later when they start sleeping with each other, anakin is over at obi-wan's apartment and he spills like coffee on his shirt during breakfast so he asks to borrow one of obi-wans and he's like yeah pick anything from the closet and he goes inside and he finds that hoodie he bought obi-wan but it's soft and well worn now and he can just picture obi-wan curled up on his couch with a mug of tea, wearing this hoodie while sending him long hate messages over every platform of social media they share

and thats when anakin knows he's in love for sure, because he doesn't think anything has ever sounded more adorable <3

#asks #smithsonian au #the smithsonian au #I KEEP FORGETTING WHICH ONE #and now all my tags are broken :( #but anyway thats a problem i will fix tuesday #because my day off is wednesday so i can get drunk and do html and stuff (most hated) #anyway ahh im sorry i did adjust it a lot #i know for sure they sleep with each other in the closet at padme's birthday party #and then fuck afterwards and it's sorta understood theyre dating #because padme laid most of obi-wans cards on the table #and then when obi-wan decides to stay its also sorta obvious #and anakin has been dreading him leaving anyway #so this works and they're sorta boyfriends #but i guess him finding the sweatshirt and realizing he kept it makes him like very sure hes in love idk
