They want to make that intuitive leap
Of all things I could have written... This is a Quinn Fabray x Nancy Wheeler ficlet/drabble. We aren't gonna call it Quancy cause that's gross.
These guys are ... not romantically compatible imo so on a soul level this is more ronance/quinntana
but they are both screamingly comphet more than any other characters I know so I'm obsessed with them
I hope someone else can enjoy my self indulgence
Quinn isn't going to let herself acknowledge it, but she has a plan.
There were calculations involved in every step of getting to this point.
But, if she thinks too much about the fact she's traveled over an hour and a half away to get to the nearest thing she could find to a lesbian bar, then she'd have to start thinking about other things too. Like the fact her usual choice of a long skirt has crept up to barely her mid thigh. Like the fact she had spent the hour before classes this morning filing her nails short.
What works best for Quinn to just act. She has questions she needs answered.
She walks into the bar with the confident front she's been putting on since she was 13.
There are a lot of women.
Not that is is surprising, the Facebook post advertised 'Ladies night', but it's...weird and distracting so have no men in sight.
No one she would assume was a man anyway... There are people here she wouldn't know how to address.
The thought jolts her.
The first person to smile at her as she walks towards the center of activity has bright pink hair, cropped into a short mullet. They are wearing a white singlet that clings to their body, and their chest looks flat. Quinn tenses with anxiety that's a lot like curiosity.
The pink haired person is dancing with a crowd and turns away to laugh with one of them, so Quinn redirects to the bar.
There's a seat next to a girl her age towards the far end of the room.
She's pretty, Quinn thinks, petite. She's wearing some high-waisted trousers and a top cropped in a way that leaves a couple of inches of her back exposed where she leans forward on her stool. Her hair is dark, curly. Quinn pulls back the adjacent stool.
"What are you drinking?" She asks.
The girl next to her looks up. She looks surprised to see Quinn next to her, she thinks, but that might just be her eyes. They're wide and dark and searching in a way that makes her feel exposed before they've even really talked, but she smiles at her and leans back, straightening up.
"It's actually called a gold star" she tells Quinn, her voice drawling slightly. "I couldn't tell you what's in it, I just ordered the one that sounded least perverted".
Quinn smiles back.
"Would you recommend it?"
"If you want something that tastes good, no, but it's the cheapest cocktail on the menu and it'll get you drunk fast". The girl cocks her head and smiles at her again.
There's something in her eyes that makes Quinn prickle. Like this girl is trying to see more than she is currently allowed.
It is not part of how this is going to go.
"What's got you drinking to get drunk?" She asks, conversationally, as if she isn't asking to gain ground.
The girl looks at her, considering, for a moment. Her brows raise. "You want to have sex." She responds, cooly.
Quinn's mouth drops open for a second, before she snaps it shut. She had intended to be bold but she isn't sure how they arrived here after all of 30 seconds.
"Going to ask my name first?", she asks casually watching the other girl carefully.
"Don't need to, Quinn"
The build up to get herself to this point had involved resigning herself to a commitment of being steadfast, stubborn and determined in the face of overwhelming discomfort but that comment about sends her into fight or flight, before the girl gestures to the ID she is twirling between her fingers.
Quinn let's out the breath she's holding silently, through her nose, and flags the bar tender, ordering by pointing at random to the cocktail board.
"Why do you think that's why I'm here?" She asks in the tone she hopes is casual.
"You've come to a lesbian bar night alone and talked to the first single girl you saw" the curly haired girl supplies, looking at Quinn carefully. "Nancy, by the way.".
"Nice to meet you Nancy." Quinn responds flatly. "Want to share why you're here alone?".
Nancy raises an eyebrow at her and Quinn feels a rush of frustration. This is not nearly as simple as it is with boys. She's actually sure if she's closer to fighting this girl or flirting with her.
"I think I might be in love with someone, a friend. A girl" Nancy explains, looking back at her drink at the same time the bar tender slides Quinn hers. "It's confusing. I don't know if we're just really close and I'm not good at that so I'm misunderstanding my feelings, or... I don't know if she thinks of me... like that . I just don't know much about this. So I came here to learn."
"Hands on learner?" The bold question slips out before she can catch it but she feels a tingle of satisfaction when Nancy faintly blushes.
"Hmm, just very thorough." Nancy smiles again. "Have you been with a girl before?".
Quinn tapers down the instinct to balk at that, this girl has been honestly frighteningly open with her and it feels like something mutually satisfactory can come from this.
"Yes." She states. "A friend... we had a casual... encounter". Quinn looks up at Nancy, who's listening intently, and prays she never sees her again after tonight. "I can't stop thinking about it, about her. I've never...it's never been like that before."
Nancy asks softly, "How did it happen?".
"We were at a wedding. I'd broken up with another awful guy and I just wanted something. She was there and willing and I trust her. I was pretty obvious, really. Probably as obvious as just asking.".
"That won't work with mine." Nancy says, dejectedly stirring the ice left in her glass.
"I want to know if... If it was good because it was her or just because she's had a lot of experience"
"I see." Nancy nods. "Well I've never had sex with a girl so that should help answer your question".
Quinn grins. "What about your question?".
"Mine is more, will having sex with a random girl while I'm pining over my friend make me feel better?"
"I'm beginning to think my question has been answered" Quinn finds herself laughing. "This feels like a business transaction".
"Sexy for some." Nancy smiles again and her lashes flutter and Quinn experiences a similar sensation in her chest. "What do you find sexy Quinn?"
🍎🍏🍐🍑🍒🍓🥝🍍🍌🍋🍊🍉🍈🍇
An hour later, they've only had two drinks, but Quinn has lipstick on her neck and Nancy is dragging her somewhere private and she's more happy and excited that she has ever felt with a guy ever.
She tries not to think about how gay Santana would say that is.

Content note: humorous fluff safe for all ages, food, references to straightwashing in the show's English dub, San and Mingi might or might not be a couple, no reader romance
~
Your laptop was heavy in your messenger bag as you trudged to school unenthusiastically. Even though everyone agreed you were a genius, your stomach still tightened on days like today and you were eager to get the looming exam over with. In a pleasant surprise that distracted from your worries, along the way you encountered the most beautiful cat you had ever seen. She was sunning herself on the path and it made the points of her Siamese coat glow a rich brown in the morning light. There was something unusual about her coloring, however. On her forehead the dark shade was marked by a crescent moon shape in the same tan as her lighter fur. Stooping to talk before offering a hand to sniff in greeting, you were interrupted in your admiration by a voice behind you.
“Byeol, there you are. San has been looking for you everywhere.” The newcomer approached the feline and pretended to have a conversation with some head nods and an “Oh really” tossed in ending with, “Thank you for telling me.” Turning his attention from the cat, he looked you over head to toe as you stood again, taking in your sailor-style shirt, then nodded appreciatively. “Nice hair, I like the blue.”
“Thanks,” you offered tucking a short strand behind your ear. “You probably would look great in that color too.” Suddenly concerned you were chatting with a young teen, you thought to ask, “How old are you?”
Your eyes went wide as the mulleted blond announced, “It is my first year...” Stepping away from the high school freshman you saw him hold up his hands as he hung his head. “My first year of college,” he emphasized. “I am twenty-three and started a bit late.” Offering a hand to shake he supplied, “Name's Hongjoong. It is good to meet you.” Seeing your skepticism he added, “It is my height, isn't it?”
“Combined with your bunny backpack and the school uniform, you do look a little youthful.”
He nodded in understanding. “People misjudge my age a lot, I am not always the most mature person and I can get frustrated easily, even to the point of crying.”
“Happens to all of us at times,” you reassured kindly.
His smile in return was grateful. Changing tone, he spread his skirt out in display. Hongjoong explained, “There is no dress code, the skirt is just my taste.” He twirled a little to show off the movement and you noted it had a complete slit which made the choice of trousers along with it make sense.
Despite the awkwardness earlier, you were already at ease around Hongjoong and felt you might become good friends. “The college is my destination too, we can continue together.”
He brightened at the invitation, “I'd like that.”  As you walked on you passed an electronics store with televisions in the window. Hongjoong grinned to see the screens display a handsome blond haired man who looked born to model.
You looked dreamily at the images. “Venus! My favorite actor,” you sighed. “He's so gorgeous.”
“And just as attractive up close,” Hongjoong bragged.  
You looked at your companion in awe and asked in a stunned voice, “You have seen Venus in person?”
In a stage whisper Hongjoong disclosed, “Constantly. His real name is Seonghwa and he's my roommate in our dorm. I can introduce you if you come over for dinner tonight. He is really a sweet guy, bit of a cleaning freak but that comes in handy.”
Your jaw dropped. An evening meal with Venus from your favorite show? You were amazed at the turn this morning was taking. “Yes, I would not pass that chance up for anything,” you excitedly agreed. Recalling your manners you made sure to add, “Of course, getting to know you better is an important reason I am accepting your offer too.”
“Of course,” he echoed. “I could tell that was your real motive,” he preened with a wink as he continued his stroll.  
“Hongjoong, wait up! You left home without us,” panted the men who caught up with a jog and now stood before you drinking from a shared water bottle. The taller of the two had a green head of hair that made him stand out almost as much as his imposing size, while the other bore a longish, stunning black shade and some attention-getting pants of bright red.
“Yunho, Wooyoung, meet...” Hongjoong hesitated as he tried to recall if he had been told your name and forgotten it or if it had not been given yet.
“Oh, um, you can call me Mercury, like the element. It is a nickname I use.”
“Like the planet too,” Wooyoung commented with a hard gaze your way.
“Mercury, this is Yunho,” Hongjoong said while indicating upward with his arm toward a cheerfully beaming man, “and the surly fellow is Wooyoung. They also live with me.”
Wooyoung waved off his friend's description, “I can be friendly when I want to be.” He punctuated the assertion with a smile your way as he opened his shirt a few buttons and ran a hand through his hair revealing purple tones in the sunlight. “I may seem serious at times but that is just because my attention is often split. I can sense danger and am always on the lookout for foes.”
“He is a priest at the local temple,” Yunho brought up with a nervous laugh before hissing, “You make it sound like you are superhero or something like that, Wooyoung.” Turning back to you he implored, “Ignore his rambling, please.”  
“But we are....”
Yunho clapped a hand over his friend's mouth cutting off whatever Wooyoung wanted to reveal. Glancing at the sun's position in the sky, Yunho fretted, “Oh would you look at the time! We better get going so we are not late for classes.” Now walking at your side he requested, “Don't listen to anything he says, Wooyoung is a natural storyteller and even if he makes it sound like we are the kind of people who fight evil by moonlight, please do not believe a word of it.”
Hongjoong agreed a little too readily, “Exactly! We are more 'winning love by daylight' types.” Seeing your curiously arched eyebrow he hastily clarified, “I promise I am not hitting on you.” With a fond look bordering on starry eyes he admitted, “My heart is set on a tall stranger who appears in the night. They look so good in their tuxedo and one day I hope to see the person behind the mask, maybe even have a kid together. I'd like a daughter. Wouldn't pink hair be lovely? One can hope we would be best friends too.” Realizing he was oversharing, Hongjoong unclasped his hands at his chin and concluded, “Now if you get to meet Mingi, he is the real flirt around here but don't pay him any mind, he and San are very dear to each other.”
Just at that moment a motor scooter bearing the two friends under discussion pulled up and the men already with you greeted the arrivals. Wooyoung made the introductions, “Mercury, meet Mingi and San.”
The tall blond driving inclined his head as he walked the bike while remaining seated, keeping pace with you. “Mercury, is it? Lovely name for a lovely person.” The group rolled their eyes and San just shook his vibrant head of wavy teal hair that just brushed the violin case on his back. He knew the talk was all bluster and that Mingi's love already belonged to another.
“Not to pry but, are you a couple? You seem close,” you inquired of the attractive pair.
“Yes, we are dating,” Mingi answered eagerly with a warm glance back to his boyfriend.
“Of course not, we are just cousins, nothing else going on here at all,” San said with his arms still wrapped tightly and what could easily be described as romantically around Mingi despite the scooter moving at a very slow roll for the entire conversation. Seeing your confusion they amended their answers. “Well, it depends,” San hedged.
“This will sound like a weird question,” Mingi began, “but what language do you hear us speaking?”
After a moment of doubt you admitted a little quizzically, “English?”
“Yeah, we are cousins, definitely. That's all.” Even San did not sound convinced by his own words, especially given the way they looked at each other so tenderly. The queer subject was dropped as your growing party had now reached the college gates.
Two more men streaked by as the clock tower struck the hour and everyone rushed for their buildings. Hongjoong called out, “Yeosang, we have a guest for dinner, cook something, would you?”
The brown-haired man with a ponytail yelled back, “Got it!” as he headed to class in stunning green boots.
“He's shy,” Hongjoong explained. “Yeosang had trouble making friends until he met us, but he will warm up to you in time. Shouting at the other newcomer headed in a different direction Hongjoong lectured, “Don't be late tonight, Jongho.” The okay hand sign held up in answer over his black hair was good enough to take as a commitment for the evening. Hongjoong said he would text you their address after exchanging phone numbers. That accomplished, you parted until tonight, giddy with the knowledge of new friends and hope of discovering if Hongjoong really did live with the star you knew as Venus.
The math test went well and you made it through the rest of your courses with only the occasional daydream about Venus while writing his secret name Seonghwa all over your class notes on the laptop. Suffice it to say you came to believe Hongjoong when Venus himself opened the door at your arrival that evening. Down to signature red glasses reminiscent of the mask his well-known character wore, he certainly looked the part of a star. Sensing your shock, he introduced himself as Seonghwa and casually led you by the hand into the dorm. “I am just going to go set the table, may I leave you in Yunho's care?”
Nodding silently, you let Seonghwa maneuver you to the couch with a hand at your back before he disappeared toward the scent of food cooking. Loath to see Seonghwa go, you realized he probably did not want to be stared at and perhaps might have stuck around if you had been more composed. As for yourself, you could also use a break from the intensity of his good looks that were equally as handsome in person as on television and billboards, just as promised by Hongjoong. You sighed happily and relaxed into the seat cushions joined by Byeol, your first friend of the morning, who jumped into your lap and began to purr as you scratched under her chin.
Waiting patiently for your full attention, Yunho made general conversation while you recovered your wits. “You were right on time, that's something I appreciate.”
“Yunho is never late, it is as if time itself bends to his charms,” Jongho declared pleasantly from a chair nearby. Giving his junior a warning look not to say too much, Yunho divulged that Jongho was the most powerful among them. Taking the cue, Jongho began to break fruit from the appetizer plate before him and offered you an apple half after he courteously removed the seeded center using a melon ball tool.
“Pluto, Saturn, it is okay to be fully yourself,” announced a motherly voice nearby and you looked for the source. “Mercury is one of us.” It must have been the apple crunching in your mouth that concealed the direction so much that it seemed to have come from your lap. Surprised did not begin to describe it when you realized it was indeed Byeol the cat who had spoken. She jumped off your legs and sauntered to the table, then was on it with an elegant hop. She licked her paw and began to wash the moon design on her forehead as you looked to the men for an explanation.
“Yes, Byeol can talk and told me about you this morning.” Hongjoong walked into the room and sat on your other side, describing to Yunho and Jongho your meeting. “She knew right away you were the last of the Sailor Scouts needed to complete our group.”
Jongho looked at you in a new light. “Just like we do, you also save the planet from evil?”
The response came quickly, “I've never run from a real fight.”
Yunho laughed at your conviction. “You sound like one of us, alright.”
You broke into smiles all around knowing you would not have to battle on your own again. A few times somebody had shown up after you had done all the work, announcing they would be ready to help again at any time, but otherwise you had been going it alone and that was exhausting. Come to think of it, that masked person was probably the one Hongjoong had mentioned having a crush on. Surely there were not that many people running around your city in a tuxedo and white eye mask while swishing their red-lined cape.
It was at that point Yeosang proudly announced dinner was served and you made your way to the dining room where Mingi gallantly seated you then did the same for his beloved San. “Thank you, Uranus, you always take the best care of me,” San purred while keeping Mingi's hands in a lingering hold.
“I live to serve you, Neptune,” Mingi gushed. Watching the two, it was a sure thing they were family to each other, but you were doubtful it was the cousin relationship they claimed. Everything your eyes saw pointed to a strong romantic partnership even if they did not admit to it. One day when you were closer friends you would ask if the choice to conceal their love was not their own.
“In honor of our special guest, and now crime fighting partner if I overheard correctly, I present my newly invented dish, spaghetti and meatballs with three-hour whipped egg on top.” Yeosang twisted his hands nervously as everyone reexamined the brown items topping their plates. Apparently the flat meatball was not one at all, despite being the exact same shade of brown. It seemed the egg experiment was a rare misstep from the otherwise exemplary cook in their midst.
“Jupiter, I think your recipe needs a little work,” Wooyoung snarked.
“Shut it, Mars, I'd like to see you do better.” Yeosang retorted lovingly.
Wooyoung leapt from his seat brandishing the plate, ready to rub the failure in Yeosang's face.
Trying to calm the situation, you had one request before eating. “I want to take a photo, if I may, to celebrate the occasion.”
They were pleased to gather at your request. You set the timer on your phone and ran behind the group. Unfortunately, Wooyoung had chosen that moment to sneak off, supposedly to eat his burned egg in the kitchen standing suspiciously close by the trash can. In your haste, you forcefully knocked into his plate. Luckily it remained in his grasp but the spaghetti went flying, landing on Hongjoong's head.
“Tell me you got a picture of that,” Seonghwa asked in delight. Despite his leadership role in the group, he still could enjoy silliness from time to time. His smile increased infinitely wider when you shared the screen of your phone once you got back to it. Taken at the exact moment when two meatballs were situated on the victim's head, pasta was also caught streaming out from his scalp emulating pigtails of long hair. Even Hongjoong could admit the photo was funny once he had wiped most of the sauce from his head with Seonghwa's assistance. To be teasingly called meatball head from then on was less so, but Hongjoong was strong enough to bear it knowing laughter was needed to de-stress from your group's crucial job of keeping Earth safe from outside threats.

W-wait you kidnapped, Jareth?
Obi-wan x reader
Tumblr media
(Not my image)
Summary: Dropped into a strange world, pretty much on to a Obi-wan's lap, only for him to take pity on you. What a pity...
Word count:6237
Warnings: Kidnapping of a non-starwars character, tight pants wearing person.../ tight pants/ references to something under tight pants. Post Padme and Anakin reuniting. Some language. Age gap.
Okay, so maybe you had been in another dimension, with no intention,with a bit of a mind flip, you're into the time slip. You don't know how it happened one minute you was  sleeping, having one of those dreams when you are falling but you couldn't wake up, until you had shot awake from painful landing.
Well, the landing wasn't painful, two points of impact, under your legs and on your shoulder blades. Opening your eyes suddenly, to see a auburn haired man, his eyes bright, as they starred into yours, yes he was handsome. Some sort of cream wrap tunic, dark brown shirt underneath, hiding his chest. It was hot, very hot, how was his face no sweating, your arm now around his shoulders to prevent you from falling. No doubt your face showed shock.
"Who are you?!"
What else was you supposed to say, other than 'where am I?' It was not long at all before 'Obi- wan' the man who had caught you had taken you to some green guy called Yoda. Aliens, you would not have guessed it, well most people know there are actually aliens, there are so many galaxies. There was no earth in the place, so they had concluded it be some sort of bigger power had brought you were.
Yoda seemed nice enough, basically the Lady Galadriel of this place, insuring you that no harm would come to you. Of course, he had put the top Jedi on the job, Obi-wan, why did you have to put with the handsome ones, you'd end up red faced even if he looked at you. If he wasn't a nice person then he would've just dropped you.
In the short time you had been in this place, you had wondered why you had fallen in this place in your shoes. However, that is irrelevant, you had learnt about Jedi and siths, typical good guys versus bad boys. Not bad boys...not yet, of course I'm thinking about Din Djarin,well he's not evil.
Yoda did have a lot to say, except oh yes just so you know you've just been dumped into a foreign universe and now you are going on a space ship. You had been given a bag, with sets of clothing for you as well as some other supplies. Obi-wan being himself, not that you knew his regular behaviour, took your bag, when you were both walking towards the ship. Not that it was in view not yet.
"W-wait, so we are going into space?" Your voice laced with panic, as you speed walked next to Obi-wan to keep up.  He had let out a deep chuckle.
"Where else would we go, little one?"
"Uhm, literally anywhere else, do I not get food before we leave? I just got here! I'm starving."
The ship, now in view, was it floating? Was it just on a platform? Nope it was floating, did you just the force to do that, like an elevator? Looking at the Jedi, grinning as you both got closer and closer to the ship.
"It's not that bad, I won't let anything happen to you, nothing will if I am the one steering it anyways..." Obi-wan whispering last bit, but you still heard him, brows scrunching toward, who else would be piloting the ship? You? Never.  That when you saw him, stood on  ramp of the ship, assuming he was waiting for you and Obi-wan. His hair short, light brown and spiked. Was that a rat tail? Oh gosh. He was cute, but you could tell he was trouble.
"Oooh, Master, I thought you said no attachments." Obi-wan had scoffed at the boy, as you both got dangerously close, the boy looked at you with a smirk, his cheeks bunching up like a clown. That he was indeed.
"This is Anakin, Anakin, Y/n, she will be coming with us,"  Obi-wan looked at Anakin who still was looking at you, only at his master briefly. When he did Obi-wan's face could only be described as that face off Zoolander, Blue steel. Why was he pursing his lips, was he expecting a peck or was that just his stern face?
Of course when you held your hand out to shake his, he had took your hand in his pressing his lips to your knuckles. You looked at Obi-wan wide eyes, was this legal? Was Anakin even an adult? Only just, but still, he was not your type.
"Anakin, that's enough, what have I told you?" Pulling Anakin from you , pushing him into the ship, Anakin turns his face to you sending a cheeky grin. Only for Obi-wan to give him another shove out the ship. Obi-wan gesturing you for you to get on before him, with a small smile. "Thank you."
You weren't sure where you were going, hell, you didn't even know what planet you had just been was, but now you say in a seat gripping it, as Obi-wan began to pilot the ship, is that what it was called? Was called something different? You weren't sure, all you knew is this was scary. If you crashed there was little chance of survival, there's no oxygen in space.
Anakin sat next to Obi-wan, both focused on the darkness in front of them. You sat on seat that you could only describe as one of those joint seats at the back of a bus, an British bus. Maybe it's the same for different countries? The chair against the wall, you had strapped your bag down in the seat next you , as well yourself.
You had completely forgotten that you were wearing a baggy t-shirt with trousers, and shoes. That night you must've been so tired that you didn't change, you don't know what happened that night.  You must've looked very out of place, especially with what you had seen everyone else was wearing. Why were they all dressed as Jesus? You were surprised they were surprised they weren't wearing sandals.
"So, where are you from?"  Anakin had spoken gently not taking his face from his position, had made you snap out of thoughts.
"Y/h/c." You weren't sure if he meant planet, you had just stuck with your home country. Anakin had clicked his tongue, thinking, before he could say anymore Obi-wan had stopped him.
"She's not from this galaxy, Anakin." Obi-wan spoke like Anakin was supposed to know that, well you was wearing a shirt that literally had Keanu reeves face on it.
"Well then, how did you get here?"
"I was sleeping in my bed, and then I was falling somehow, whoa Obi-wan happened to be standing below me, and caught me, the end." Anakin had let out a loud snort turning to his master.
"No attachments, well, Master, if I didn't know better, I would say this was the beginning of something that was meant to be."  You swear you saw Anakin raise his eyebrows at Obi-wan, though you couldn't see properly from sitting behind.
"Keep your forked tongue behind you teeth." Why did that sound so familiar... Obi-wan was harsh to his Padawan, he didn't seem to be repulsed by you, maybe he felt uncomfortable by the tone of Anakins voice. W-wait did he just quote Gandalf?
After that everything was silent, for a while anyways, Obi-wan soon told you to go to the bathroom thing in the ship, you had already forgotten what he called it. Informing you that you should change into a set of clothes you were given; so that you would not stick out.
Clothing choice was good considering; you didn't know where you were going but you were glad you were given trousers for walking. Especially what you had been heard, you did not fancy being killed because you had tripped on the dress you were wearing.
The only reason they had took you to this planet was for them to negotiate with someone,  you could swear you saw one of them talking to someone on a hologram, why didn't they just do that. When you did arrive, you had to walk far into town. Security reasons, but the ship stood out more on it's own.
You were definitely not expecting to end up in pub, where else would they find a bad guy. It wasn't high tech like you had thought, it was a tavern, old fashioned. For a hot climate the bar was quite cool.
Strange that Obi-wan had made you sat at a table alone, there was a open space, you assumed for dancing, sat at a booth, you had perfect view to the little stage. Though there was no one there. Obi-wan and Anakin had went searching in the bar for the man or woman , or them, you weren't sure. You didn't understand how it was safer for you to be alone.
Twiddling your thumbs bored, the chat of bar was considerably low, it had already began to get dark. Soon enough the pub would be packed. You hadn't seen the man make his way on stage, standing in front of a microphone, while a couple of other people set up behind him. He did not look the band sort, but those other men were there to play the instruments, since there was only one mic.
It was only when the music began to play did you look up, a skinny man, stood at the microphone, his eyes the brightest blue, though his left pupil bigger than the right. His eyebrows had no ends, eyeshadow flicked up into an wing , the end facing his hairline, his cheekbones clearly highlighted. His hair huge , blond, long as well as being a mullet.
His shirt crisp white,with a leather brown vest, his sleeves puffy. The vest only went above his hip bones, beneath that was some very tight pants. They were almost leggings, the grey clearly presented his package. The boots what a slight heel on them reaching up his calves.
This man was clearly handsome, but he reminded you so much of Bowie, you couldn't help but feel drawn to him.
"There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed
Within your eyes
I'll place the sky
Within your eyes."
His gloved hands on the microphone, as your eyes were glued to him, his eyes gliding over the bar before meeting yours. His eyes eyes latching onto y/c ones, a grin spread across his face, showing his slightly croaked teeth. You quickly looked around making sure he was looking at you, glancing at Obi-wan and Anakin who were busy arguing.
"There's such a fooled heart
Beatin' so fast
In search of new dreams
A love that will last
Within your heart
I'll place the moon"
As your eyes went back to the man, his position now moved, instead of a microphone, he had a mouth piece, a few people waltzing together on the now on the empty space from earlier, but now it wasn't empty. Your heart raced as the man continued to sing, heading your way slowly, dancing with others as he did so.
"Within your heart
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all"
You don't what possessed you to stand up, but you did. Your feet pulling you towards the dance floor, a smirk upon the mans face as he saw you approaching him, you had blinked and with that he had disappeared. Your eyes searching the crowd, he was still singing.
"But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling in love."
You were feeling embarrassed when you could not find the man, especially being on the dance floor alone. You had almost had a heart attack when someone had placed their hand on your arm. Turning around you were face to face to the grinning man, offering you his hand. Your hand in his gloved one, the other on his shoulder, his on your waist.
"I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings though we're strangers 'til now
We're choosing the path
Between the stars"
Smiling up at the man, you felt like nothing else matter, as you waltzed with him, your movements so smooth that his hair didn't even know. Maybe he wore a lot of hairspray. Your eyes never leaving his, you couldn't remember knowing how to waltz.
"I'll leave my love
Between the stars
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down
Falling-"
What you did not notice was the two Jedi's calling your name, as they searched for you, only for Obi-wan to lock eyes onto you, getting Anakins attention, as he sighed. One rumb of the moustache and both of them started heading your way.
Jareth at eyes finally left yours, he had stopped singing, he had not let you go though.
"What are you doing, Y/n?" You had instantly unlaced your hand from the man, turning to face Obi-wan's disapproving glare, Anakin sniffled under his hand, glad he wasn't getting in trouble...again.
"Dancing?" You had even had a second to react when Anakin had stroked his moustache again, and the man was cuffed. Pulling you gently by the arm, you all made your way out of the bar, no doubt that was embarrassing. You had accidentally gotten the guy captured because you danced with him. Then again, Obi-wan would've spotted him singing as well, so maybe it wasn't your fault. Little nervous to why they wanted him, hopefully not for murder.
Once you did make it back to the ship, Anakin was to fly the ship, while the strange man  sat next to your bag, and you next to Obi-wan across from him. 
"I don't understand, I'll did was dance with him, he didn't try to kill me, so what's the problem?"  Obi-wan scoffed, staring at the man, not turning to even look at you.
"The problem is that he kidnaps children."
"No, I take the unwanted ones, those that are wished away." That sounded familiar, the hair, the pants, the David Bowie everything, it was clear who this man was.
"Ben, you can't speak him like that, do you not know who you have captured? He's Jareth, the goblin king!"  Jareth had just smirked at Obi-wan, quite frankly the outburst had made Obi-wan jump. No one called him Ben.
"W-well, I've heard stories of The Labyrinth."
"I'm sorry, how did I not see it before, the hair, the music, the very tight pants , the-"
"Why were you looking at his trousers?" Obi-wan now had turned to face you, his eyes eyes searching your face for answer, his voice stern, your face blushed. You really needed to stop talking about pants all the time.
"Do you want her to look at yours instead,Master?"  Obi -wan had choked his bearded face reddening. His eyes now off your face.
"Oh, I've already looked, what about some tighter pants , I must say you have lovely arse though." Placing a hand on Obi-wan's lower thigh, if his face was red before it was now, he couldn't look at you. A gentle squeeze of his thigh, and he had to excuse himself.
Once Obi-wan was out of ear range, the three of you laughed, though Anakin hadn't seen nor knew what tipped Obi-wan over the edge. However, Jareth had smirked at you, he knew very well what you had done. You had barely had known Obi-wan for four days, and he already felt like he was breaking the rules.
It was very clear why Obi-wan actually left the room, his trouser were now tight on him.
"So, love.."  You were surprised, obi-wan had taken the cuffs off Jareth in the ship and left him with you.  One of his legs , thrown over the end on table, as if it was an arm of a chair.
"Stop that." Anakin's voice stopped Jareth saying anymore.
Before you knew it, you had been talking to to Jareth the whole journey back, Obi-wan had came back shortly after; sitting next to Anakin. 
It was not like you had anything better to do other than speaking to the fae, Obi-wan just criticising Anakin. 'He's overly critical.' What do you want Anakin, a kiss on your cheek, oh sweetie you are doing absolutely amazing at killing the guys on our side.
Stepping out of the ship, Jareth now singing another song, like he was in a movie or something. You had caught eyes with about her man in robes, another Jedi. Hold on, that couldn't be Samuel L Jackson?
"Hey, Jareth?"
"Yes, love."
"Can't you just magic yourself out of this situation back to the your castle?" Jareth's hands weren't cuffed still, he had turned his face towards you with a grin, looking back at him, you felt bad he was only helping he wasn't killing people or anything. He was a lovely guy.
"Yes, I can, I was just waiting for a kiss goodbye." Pointing to his cheek, your pinks slightly pink as your pressed a kiss to his soft skin. With that you had pulled away, one last smile, he had turned dramatically, spinning his cape with him, glitter flying everywhere. Off flew a a light brown owl. He was gone.
"Mother fucker." Your lips turned up slightly trying to prevent a grin, as you turned back to the Jedi's that did not look impressed. Well, Anakin he did not care he just smiled, knowing you were probably were going to get in trouble. You literally didn't even do anything, all you did was kiss the mans cheek.
"What did you do?" Obi-wan eyes on you , his words  like a sharpened butter knife, you could say unnatural...even supernatural. This hands on his hips, pushing his robes back.
"W-what? Me? I told you he was bloody magic ;but no, you didn't listen."
"Control yourself, now come, Master Yoda requests all of you." Did he just tell Obi-wan to calm himself , he just called Jareth a motherfucker. 
The meeting with Yoda, Windu  and the three of you, wasn't with the Jedi republic. According to Yoda, this matter wasn't of importance, he didn't expect You'd been able to hold Jareth for very long. Master Windu, didn't give no shits, he was disappointed.
It wasn't like he killed a bunch of kids, not like Anakin was going to. Not just the men, but the woman and the children too. Jareth basically had loads of Goblin children living their best life's in the goblin city, that wasn't threatening. So, the Goblin king got away, why don't you go kill bloody Palpatine.
The next few weeks were not as eventful, stuck in your room bored, it was awkward to go out you didn't know anyone. Especially not Obi-wan you were pretty sure he hated you at the moment. You did not want to have to get involved with him and Anakin training. Exercise...no thanks.
You really did feel bad for how you acted towards Obi-wan, he was a Jedi you couldn't touch him like that. So, when he turned up at your room in the evening, with your dinner, it was surprising. Normally you'd get brought to dinner by one of the younglings.
Obi-wan stood in front of you with a small smile as he held the tray. The tray with two plates of dinner.
"O-oh, hi," pulling the door open with the door handle allowing Obi-wan into your room, before shutting it behind him.
"I thought maybe you wanted someone to eat with you," He did not expand further. Obi-wan was a kind man, he took a pact basically to have no family no nothing, just to protect the galaxy. With a high chance of death, he was a noble man, you couldn't think of anyone you knew from back home that would do that. You should not have gave him a boner.
Placing the tray on the table within your room, but instead of sitting down, he had lifted the whole table towards the balcony. Obi-wan has , went to Yoda before coming to your room, stating this was strictly professional nothing more. Yoda had just laughed. "Dine with her , you will."
Seeing what Obi-wan was doing, you had grabbed a chair too, onto the the stone of the balcony. The view of the planet, Coruscant was not the best, but it was better than looking at a wall. Ten again you'd be eating in a moment so you wouldn't have to look at either. Fresh are was good though.
Sitting down at the round table with Obi-wan was weird, you really felt guilty for your behaviour it was eating you up, whilst you both ate your dinners up. Looking up to Obi-wan, his eyes fixed to his plate as he struggle to cut a potato, his golden hair tucked behind his eyes.  Orange light from the setting sun shined into his hair, as well as his cheeks, his eyes glistening.  
"The way I acted on the ship, was completely inappropriate, I am so sorry, there is no excuse for my behaviour.  I admit I'm glad you are here now. I don't expect you to forgive me."
Obi-wan's eyes now looking back into yours, his eyebrows frowning together slightly, his knife and fork on his plate, as he lent back in the chair. Rubbing your sweaty hands along your trousers roughly, a small laugh let his lips.
"I must have missed something, you complimented my behind and squeezed my knee. That's hardly anything to apologise for, if anything I would've expected an apology for not listening to my orders."  That guilt did seem to fade away, mostly. Your cheeks reddening, as Oni-wan continued to look at you.
"I'm sorry for not following your orders, especially when in a pub on a strange planet."
Smiling at each for a moment before going back to your dinners before they got cold.  Not speaking fully until you had both finished eating.  
This became a daily occurrence for weeks, then months. You were still not returned home, you were stuck. You didn't feel alone not like you did when you first arrived. You did miss home very much, but nothing could be done about that. 
Sometimes, sorry, every time Obi-wan went out of Coruscant you went with. Even if it was dangerous, either you'd stay in the ship or simply go wherever with him.  It wasn't hard to see how close you had gotten to Obi-wan, the Jedi council did not like it one bit, not that you knew that.  Obi-wan had insisted that he had been assigned to protecting you and that was what he was doing. Not that was far from the truth.
No attachments, Kenobi? Okay.
What makes matters worse you had no currency, it wasn't hard to guess who would supply you with clothing's such. Obi-wan would take you to the market to buy you anything you needed. In return, well, there wasn't much you could do, certainly wasn't safe for you to go off on your own, especially not being from this universe. So, you just kept him company.
Anakin being Obi-wan's padawan he came along too, not to the market but on missions, but that was obvious. You had felt like a burden , you really did,  being reassured you weren't, Obi-wan had given you a role. A purpose. You were their healer.
Not Obi-wan purposely getting small injuries, he'd argue wit himself and sometimes Anakin, that it wasn't on purpose and if it was it was only to make you feel like you part of their team. Not that Obi-wan longed for the soft touches of your skin on his.
However, he was not expecting you to get hurt, no he would not have, he had sworn to protect you and he had failed. You had arrived on this strange planet for 'negotiations' for this clan to basically team up with the republic, but Darth Maul had gotten there first. Of course, you had been kidnapped, since Obi-wan told you to stay in the ship.
Darth held you off the floor by the back of your neck, holding the lightsaber out ready to kill you, not really just leverage. Obi-wan and Anakin in front, they really had no plan. Well, Darth Maul almost stabbed you, but you had the higher air and took a blade from your pocket and stabbed yourself. Blood pouring out of your Abdomen, as your eyes watered, your throat blocked up.
Dropping you to the floor, Darth Maul had laughed. "Oh, I like her." Obi-wan did not like that at all, seeing you face down on the cold floor him an Anakin activated their lightsabers.I could describe the whole fight sequence, but you already know Darth Maul wiggled himself out of that situation back to the Sith, not surprising, you wouldn't remember anyways, you had passed out.
The clan now on the republics side,  only because the Jedi's had saved them and promised protection.
Obi-wan had carried you back to the ship with Anakin, who began to start the ship. He felt guilty to wake you up, he would rather stitch you up when you were unconscious.The thought of hurting you plagued his heart, maybe he should get Anakin to do it. No, he couldn't go through with someone else hurting you.
Grabbing the medical kit, Obi-wan had made his way back to the bed, your body still, he would've been happy if this was Anakin. The thought crossed his mind, to stab Anakin, so he'd bloody shut up. Our tunic now drenched with blood, he could clearly see the tear in your shirt. He was not going to wake you , deciding just to cut a square out of your shirt.
You wouldn't be surprised if that shirt wasn't fashion back home, you know people wearing bandanas as shirts, here's what hot now, reveal your hip and your abdomen with a square hole! Who knows, I don't know anything about fashion, except I dress like David Bowie. Shut up , no one cares.
Your face was already laced with cold beads sweat, like Obi-wan but he felt like furnace, his long hair pushed back, his lips squished together as he grabbed the anaesthesia, pulling up your sleeve carefully before injecting it quickly. Then he had gotten to work, soon enough, you was stitched up.
Only problem was, that Sith had damaged the ship, so Anakin only got the three of you so far before having to land on freezing planet. But, it gets better, Anakin being really great, and supposedly a great pilot had hit the side of a mountain. Snow had covered the ship, you were trapped by an ocean of snow.
Of course, R2 hadn't came in this trip, just luck, only thing that was working was the heating and lights, the signal had gone. No way to contact anyone, however, someone was bound to notice in a few days something had gone wrong.
This was not going to be like without a paddle, where you'd all be in your underwear and spoon. We do not shaggy here, um? Get it before Shaggy is in that movie? 
Eventually, you had woken up, a little dizzy, probably would not have if Anakin wasn't having a tantrum. You didn't even question how you got back to the ship, your shoes tapped quietly against the floor , as you made your way to the cockpit.  Both Obi-wan and Anakin were stood in the centre of the room, Anakin point and clenching his fists, Obi-wan just stood there.
You got a feeling that Anakin was not good at keeping his emotions in check, why was he always so emotional. Obi-wan was now sipping juice, no blue milk, yuck, Anakin still shouting.
"You're jealous, master. You're afraid I am getting too powerful, you want me to fail!"  Placing his drink down, Obi-wan had caught your eyes,  his face lightened into a smile from his frown. "Mum,  you think I am ready to be a Jedi Master, right?"  His eyes soft on the sight of you, coughing slightly, you had looked back at Obi-wan who turned to you in a swing, now amused by his Padawan.
"I'm sorry, aren't I a similar age to you?" The cold temperatures from the snow, had transferred into the ship, but Anakins cheeks still burned. He just stood looking at you unable to speak, Obi-wan had laughed patting his Padawan on the back once.
"Don't worry about it; he does it to everyone. When he was younger, it was difficult to convince him to stop calling me father. Sometimes, he still does." 
"Liar, I do not. You treat me like a whore ; calling everyone my father. I do not, it was mistake!"  Anakin was overwhelmed, his voice defensive and loud as he left the room, leaving you with Obi-wan, who's lips were twitched into a large smile , as he stroked his moustache.
For a few moments you both stood in silence, before you had looked down to the ache and coldness on your lower abdomen. A hole on in your shirt where you we're stabbed, now stitched up.
"Oh yes, sorry about your shirt." Your finger tips tracing the fabric, then touching the wound, pain shot through your body, letting out a welp. Obi-wan eyes had widened, stepping close to inspect the wound again, why would you poke it?
"It's just a shirt, it's not like you don't buy them all anyways, thank you for that again, also thank you for stitching me up ,  that was you?"  Your voice quiet, under his gaze, a deep chuckle had left his mouth.
"Yes, I did, I hardly trust Anakin's flying, how are you feeling? That was very well done back there, but I do recommend you don't do it again." You had scoffed, letting out a short laugh after, Obi-wan looked at you rising his eyebrows, to warning you.
“Oh, yes, I plan on stabbing myself again, who do you think I am? Loki? Okay, maybe I’ll fake my death for attention too.” Obi-wan’s hands gently placed on your shoulders, squeezing lightly , as he looked into your eyes. His blue orbs intensely on yours, his hair neatly tucked back.
“I wouldn’t allow that, from now on you don’t stay in the ship alone, If something happens to you I’d never forgive myself, and I believe that you were sent here for a reason. Not to die.” His hands had left you , smiling at you once more, before leaving the cockpit.
Not only after that you had retired to your bed, in clothes without holes, your now many blankets covered you. Thanks to Obi-wan again, since you all spent so much time on the ship, it was necessary for situations like this. Of course, as long as the ship wasn’t blown up again.
Though the heating was working, it didn’t stop the cold from the outside. Curled up so tight in your blankets, trying to retain heat, you could not get comfortable to sleep. The cold nipping at your feet and cheeks, your nose was probably red too.
Only an hour or two from when you first got into bed, sighing , all your blankets wrapped around you, stepping out of bed. Quietly, making your way around the ship, just to tire yourself out, or to make yourself really cold. So, when you would get back into bed you’d be like ‘oooh warm’ and fall asleep.
You had meant to wake in on Obi-wan sat in his chair in the cockpit, wrapped up in his robes, seemingly fast asleep. His arms crossed, his auburn hair covering his face , neck cranked forward. He was going to have a sore neck in the morning.
Turning on your feet, slowing walking out of the room, pulling your blankets tighter. A sigh had left Obi-wan’s mouth, not loud but you heard it. Your movement now softened, you continued with tiny steps.
“I know you are there, Y/n, come back.” No doubt you almost peed yourself, hearing Obi-wand raspy voice, he had been a sleep, you felt horrible. Walking back from the door way, Obi-wan had turned to chair to look at you.
“I didn’t mean to wake, I didn’t know you was even in here.” Obi-wan opened his mouth yawning loudly, before looking back at you, snorting a laugh, at your choice of clothes.
“What are doing up?” Shifting on your feet, covered with socks, the icy floor numbing them.
“Can’t sleep, aren’t you cold?” You wondered if Anakin was having trouble sleeping too, he must’ve been fine, since he left Obi-wan in here. Obi-wan probably never meant to fall asleep, waiting for anyone to contact. Shaking his head, he had opening his arms up gesturing you over.
“Come here, darling.” Not sure on what he was going to do, yet you still walked towards him, you trusted him. You were glad if you were stuck you was stuck with the Jedi. Pressing his palm around your clenched hand that held tightly onto your blanket. His hands were really warm, like had them between his thighs. His lips moulded into a circle shape, inhaling sharply.
“Oh, I should’ve brought you more blankets.” His hand still on yours, looking up at you, a small smile on your face, your teeth felt like ice cubes, a few moments went by, you weren’t sure what he was waiting for or what you were waiting for.
“ Do you think I could stay here...with you?” Your cheeks now felt hot, the words barely a whisper, you shouldn’t have asked, it’s completely inappropriate. “I-I can go back to bed-“
“Nonsense.” Obi-wan had pulling you into his lap, okay, so maybe you thought he would’ve been like yeah and you would’ve sat in the chair next to him. You head resting against his chest, his stubble tickling upon your head. Obi-wan’s arms wrapped around you tightly, sealing the blankets. Yours around his waist, feet tucked up on the chair, as well. Obi-wan warmth surrounded you with his scent, the soft touch of his lips against your temple.
“Am I allowed to love you, Ben?” Your eyes fluttered closed, your voice barely above a whisper, Obi-wan’s heart hitched into his throat. He flirted too often and he knew it, and he knew that his feelings weren’t platonic either, he wouldn’t have spent dinner every night alone with just anybody.
“No, I suppose you’re not.” What would the council feel about this, he wished he could blame Yoda for making him guardian over you and that first dinner with you.
“If you aren’t supposed to have attachments, then what am I? You promised Master Yoda to protect me, isn’t that an attachment. Would anyone be able to tell? You have to be with me pretty sure all day anyways.”
Your words made him ponder for a moment, he knew you were right, you had already acting like you were together for a long time, not directly in front of council though. It was clear Anakin saw it too, he wouldn’t have called you mum, that was weird though. Maybe he has a kink think because he hasn’t seen his mum since he was 9.
Obi-wan looked over you all the time, brought you everything you needed, ate dinner with you, kept you warm, stitched you up, protected you from strange people. There were times where you’d turn up to his room crying, or upset or missing home, he’d comfort you. Similarly to this situation, you’d end up in his bed, not like that, you in his arms stroking your hair, pressing a kiss to your temple as you fell asleep. It was not new.
“You are right, I love you.” Looking up to the Jedi, as he smiled down at you.
“You do?”
“I do.” He may not have kissed you then, but you had time, you weren’t about to let Anakin take him from you. What mattered was you were together, even being away from your home, you had another. With Ben and a ‘son’ that was older than you.
Oh , Anakin was so cheeky when he had awoken in the morning seen you against his masters chest.
“I knew it.”
