Obi-Wan exhaled and closed his eyes. "Fuck." This time, he didn't apologize.
What was I thinking? Why did I do that?
"It could be worse," Siri quipped. He opened his eyes at that.
"Please, tell me, how could it be worse? I just spent half an hour explaining to my padawan that acting on physical desire is inappropriate for a Jedi, and he returns to our quarters to find me kissing you."
"We could have been doing more than kissing," she offered.
He blinked at her. "It was a rhetorical question!"
He sank back onto the bunk, covering his face with his hands. "My padawan is going to turn to the dark side, I just know it. I am fucking this up left and right."
She couldn't help but laugh, even though she wasn't sure if he was trying to be funny. "It's not that bad, you know. You're over-reacting."
"Tell me I'm over-reacting when I have a young Sith lord on my hands." He was smiling just a little now. Siri stretched out beside him, and he turned his head to look at her. "I wasn't ready for this, you know. I have no idea what I'm doing. He is so gifted, and so troubled. I can't give him what he needs, Siri."
He was right about that. "What about you, Obi-Wan? What do you need?"
He held her gaze for a long moment. "Siri, you're my friend. I care about you and I respect you. I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel attracted to you. If not for Anakin..." He looked away, voice trailing off.
"I'm not asking for anything, you know. It was just a kiss."
"Just a kiss. Heh." He turned his head towards her again.
She smiled. "Not even a very good kiss. I can do much better. You only need to ask."
"A very kind offer. I'll keep it in mind." He sat up and glanced at the open door. "At the moment, I seem to have enough complications in my life."
Siri sat up as well, watching him carefully. He wasn't as tense as he'd been earlier -- he just seemed a little confused. She had a sneaking suspicion that this might actually simplify things for him. But it would probably take some convincing.
That, however, required time they did not have. They would arrive at Krisilia in twelve hours, where they would separate into two teams, to work on opposite sides of the planet for weeks. She doubted she'd be able to convince him of the rightness of this in such a short time. She had no doubt that she could simply seduce him if she wanted to -- men were easy that way, and she knew which buttons to push. She could fuck him right there, right then, and walk away and not think twice about it. But he was her friend, and that was more important than fleeting physical pleasure.
She stood and straightened her clothing. "I'd better go find Ferus. I think he might have been a little freaked out by this." Obi-Wan nodded absently. "Anakin seemed fine, though. He almost seemed relieved."
"I imagine that he is. He has one more thing to tease me about now."
**************************
Ferus leaned back against the cold metal wall of the cargo hold, eyes closed, mind straining to remain open. He knew that Siri was unorthodox, that she had experienced things that most Jedi had not. He had suspected that she was not celibate, but he'd never actually been confronted with any evidence before. With Master Obi-Wan? He didn't seem the type. He was so serious and disciplined, and Ferus trusted him as much, if not more than his own master.
"Thought I'd find you here."
Ferus groaned inwardly. This was the last person he wanted to see at the moment. "Please just don't say anything."
"Nothing at all?" Anakin stepped out of the doorway and stood in front of him, just watching him that way he always did. The way that usually meant he was up to something.
"Aren't you a little worried?"
"About what?"
Ferus snorted. "About *them*. Our masters. Kissing, and doing Force knows what else when we're not around."
Anakin stared at him strangely. "It was just a kiss, Ferus. And it wasn't even a real kiss at that."
"It looked like it to me."
"Oh, and you're an expert?"
Ferus' eyes narrowed slightly. "Of course not. And you are?"
Anakin said nothing, but smiled slyly. His eyes lost their focus for a split second, and then refocused on Ferus with a strange intensity. It made him feel distinctly uncomfortable. He swallowed, curiosity rising in him despite a gnawing sensation in his stomach.
"Well?"
"Well what?"
Ferus sighed dramatically. Anakin could be so difficult. He spoke carefully, hid his thoughts, and one never knew exactly what he was thinking or what he would do next. It irritated Ferus to no end.
"I suppose that you're something of an expert on kissing, then. You seem so certain that there was nothing inappropriate happening back there."
"I'm an expert on a lot of things. Why are you so curious about me suddenly?"
"I'm not, I..." Ferus frowned. Why was he even having this conversation?
"I'll bet you've never been kissed."
"Yes, I have."
"Party games don't count."
Ferus frowned at that. "Well, neither have you, in that case."
"What makes you so sure?" Anakin took a step closer, too close for comfort, and placed his hands on the wall on either side of Ferus' head. "Maybe I've done lots of things that you have only dreamed about, that you can't even imagine."
Ferus pressed his back against the wall, trying to make himself as flat as possible. Anakin's blue eyes were dark suddenly, sparkling with something he couldn't identify. He pressed closer still and the tips of their noses brushed together.
"I'll bet you've never had a real kiss, the kind that you still feel days later when you think about it. The kind that leaves the taste of the other person on your tongue. The kind that makes you want to grind your body against them, wanting more. The kind that gets you hard so fast that you can't stop it."
Ferus could feel warm breath against his lips, the heat of the other boy's body mingling with his own, a stark contrast to the cold steel against his back. No, he had not felt this particular combination of sensations before. Anakin was so close he was nearly a blur. Then, quite strangely, he licked his lips. Ferus nearly whimpered at that, and could think of nothing that would be better than to pull Anakin's body against him and just... shut him up, keep his mouth occupied for a while. He strained his head forward enough to brush his lips against the other boy's just slightly.
Anakin stepped away from him, expression unreadable. "I thought not. Let me know if you would like a... demonstration sometime." With a small smile, he left the room.
Ferus closed his eyes and concentrated on breathing, trying to figure out what the hell had just happened to him.

Date: 2003-01-24 06:52 pm (UTC)I know I'm repeating myself...but I'm lovin' this series too!
I kinda liked the "young Sith Lord" and the turning dark comments-CanonObi must've lightened up sometimes-he did hang out with Dex and occasionally in bars...but I see Helens' points.
I haven't read the JQ series, because I just wasn't that interested in Ani from the movies. But you are making me curious!

Date: 2003-01-26 07:52 am (UTC)My husband has quipped more than once, "Too bad writing fan fic doesn't count toward tenure." Too bad indeed.
I know I'm repeating myself...but I'm lovin' this series too!
Thanks! Those are the sorts of comments that make me want to go and write more!
I haven't read the JQ series, because I just wasn't that interested in Ani from the movies. But you are making me curious!
I only started reading JQ because I wanted to see more of Obi as an adult, and I couldn't have cared less about Anakin. But Obi cares about Anakin, and after a while that just rubbed off on me. I will say it again -- I think that JW is doing an outstanding job with JQ. I even think these are much better than JA.
Thanks for reading!
