the one where you do an anakin (obi-wan x reader)

summary: after you pull a reckless stunt on a mission, obi-wan comes to remind you that you are a good jedi - and perhaps something even more to him (it was originally a drabble based on this prompt but...oh gosh darn this evolved into something much longer)

also: on this blog, anakin is now a verb as well. to do an anakin is to do something dumb and reckless, hence the title - which i am still, for some reason, naming in the style of friends episodes

enjoy,

Obi-Wan Kenobi had always joked that you and Anakin Skywalker were a match made in hell. Between your impulsiveness and his overconfidence, you were an accident waiting to happen.

And boy, it had happened.

It wasn’t the end of the world. Yes, you had failed your mission and yes, your robes had been utterly barbecued and yes, the Jedi Council were going to be angry and – you’d forgotten where you were going with this. The main point was that you were both in one piece, give or take a few minor injuries. The only thing that had been really hurt was your pride.

‘We probably shouldn’t have tried to take on the droids on our own, huh?’ You played with edges of your charred robes, eyes glued to the floor.

‘I don’t think that’s the part they’re going to be upset about.’ Anakin replied. ‘I have a feeling they’ll be angrier about the fact we blew up seven jets.’

‘Oh, I forgot about that part.’ You mumbled. You dropped your head against the wall, over-dramatically groaning.

You and Anakin had been sat outside of the council room for the better part of an hour. You weren’t really that worried about what they were going to say – you were both still relatively new Jedi knights, and you had a bit of room to mess up. It was Obi-Wan’s reaction that you were dreading – he hadn’t been your master, but he’d very involved in your training and you hated to disappoint him.

‘On a scale of one to ten, how angry do you think Obi-Wan is going to be?’ You nudged Anakin.

‘I don’t think such a short scale can adequately express that kind of thing, to be honest.’ The blonde boy replied.

You shuffled in your seat, trying to get a better view of what was going on in the meeting room. Worst case scenario, you’d have to take the trials again. You’d been pretty damn good at the them the first time so it wouldn’t be the end of the world. Part of you wanted to blame the Jedi Council for thinking that the combination of you and Skywalker would ever have had a happy ending, but you suspected you might make the situation worst by mentioning that particular point.

‘He’s pacing slowly,’ You mumbled. ‘That’s his version of freaking out.’

‘The only thing worse is when he’s stood completely still.’ Anakin commented.

‘Oh no,’ you whispered. ‘Now he’s standing completely still.’

You saw the figure on the other side of the window begin to move again, and a few seconds later, the doors to the council room flung open. Cloak flowing behind him, the Master Jedi made his way down the steps, eyes immediately meeting yours. They darted between you and Anakin for a moment, before settling on your form as he walked towards you. You both scrambled to stand up, preparing yourself for whatever strongly worded lecture was coming your way.

‘You two are going to be death of me.’ Obi-Wan announced. ‘You should be grateful that they’re not banishing you to a desolate temple in the outer rims.’

‘That would be no fun.’ Anakin quipped, but he dropped his smirk when he saw the look on his face. ‘Sorry, master.’

‘And you should be!’ The Jedi pointed a finger at his former Padawan. ‘And you, Y/N. I expected better of you.

‘So, what are they gonna do?’ You pushed.

‘You should consider yourselves lucky that they recognised your new knight status.’ He retracted his hand back, using it to push his hair back. ‘Needless to say, they’re going to be keeping a close eye on both of you. I’m going to be keeping a close eye on you – especially you.’

‘Why me?’ You scowled.

‘Were you not the perpetrator in all this?’

‘That is insulting!’ You tried to argue, but then you saw the look of doubt on Obi-Wan’s face. ‘Yeah, okay. I kind of was.’

‘So, we’re not in trouble?’ Anakin pushed.

‘Not with them.’ He replied. ‘I’m not going to forget about this though, not for a long while.’

Some deep-seated, childish part of you was slightly thrilled at that. It went without saying that you’d always had a certain fondness for Obi-Wan; it had started as a juvenile thing, as a school-girl crush on a more mature man. But, now you were an adult, and not much younger than he’d been when he’d become a new knight himself. You’d started to like him for his humour and wit, and his kindness – and his endless patience for you.

After muttering a sheepish goodbye, you scurried off to your quarters. You were more than ready to shed your robes and finally catch a break – you’d spent the last three days living on a ship, losing sleep over Anakin’s perilous piloting skills. It would be nice to sleep in a bed that didn’t run the risk of flipping upside down in the night.

Dropping your bags onto the counter, you headed for the refresher. You picked out some casual clothes and turned on the shower. You almost revelled under the icy cold water, washing the dirt marks and soot off of your arms. There’d been on longer missions, and harder missions – but that had been as a Padawan. There was a whole new weight on your shoulders now.

Once you’d dried off and dressed in some loose trousers and a large t-shirt, you turned your focus to unpacking your things and warming up your room. It had been vacant for several days, after all.

A few moments later, there was a knock on your door. There were very few people who knocked this late – younglings would occasionally come to you for advice, and Padme would sometimes swing by to show you a new outfit (naturally).

‘Come in!’ You called, rushing to hide some of the mess on your bed.

You were surprised to see Obi-Wan Kenobi – you weren’t entirely sure what he was usually up to at this hour, but you were certain he’d never been to your room this late (or ever, for that matter). Part of you wished that it was slightly tidier; your robes were strewn across the floor, and there was a pile of books scattered across the desk.

‘Obi-Wan,’ you greeted him. ‘You’re in my room.’

‘Really?’ He quipped, raising his eyebrows. ‘I hadn’t noticed.’

You thinned your eyes at him, shutting your suitcase and motioning for him to come in. He peered around the room, almost curious to see what it was like. It was quintessentially you; filled with all the books and weapons needed to make a good Jedi, but they were a little skewwhiff. That summed you up fairly nicely.

‘Let me rephrase that – why are you in my room?’ You leant against one of the posts of the bed. ‘Not that I don’t like your company, of course.’

‘I spoke to my former Padawan a bit more about the stunt you pulled on the mission.’ Obi-Wan replied. ‘I know that you didn’t mean for it to go wrong, and that you had both yours and the missions’ best interest at heart.’

‘I don’t do dumb shit like that for fun.’ You muttered, eyes falling to the ground. ‘It’s a big step up from being a Padawan to being a knight.’

He took a step closer to you, faltering slightly when he saw the change in your body language. He’d come here to try and clear things up, not remind you of your mistakes. It came from a place of caring; he hated to admit it, but he was attached to you. Seeing you grow from a reckless, young adult to an even-more-reckless Jedi knight was something he considered to be an honour.

‘My point is,’ Obi-Wan cleared his throat, ‘that you are a good knight, and an excellent Jedi. It’s shown in your intentions – perhaps not so much your actions, but that’s something that improves with time.’

‘Thank you,’ you smiled up at him. ‘Though somehow, I don’t think the council will be sending me on any more missions in the foreseeable future.’

‘I have something for you, actually. I’m off to Corellia tomorrow for a few days. It’s not a lot, just a security detail, but it’s something, and you’re welcome to join me. And the city is nice – there’s a lot of places we can visit in our free time.’

You poise swayed for a minute, and you tried to hide the surprise on your face. You knew it was a mission, and literally your job – but why was he asking you? Why not Anakin? Or literally any other Jedi who hadn’t just been chastised by the council a matter of hours ago?

‘Are you sure?’ You asked. ‘Like, are you certain you don’t want somebody who’s a bit less…well, me?’

‘Perhaps that’s why I’m asking – because you are so quintessentially…well, you.’

You smiled. ‘In that case, I’ll join you.’

Obi-Wan beamed at you. ‘Then it’s a date.’

i might do a part 2, a what happens in corellia, stays in corellia kinda thing
