Would love love love to see 31.) โkeep your eyes on meโ for obikin! ๐
ty~hope you enjoy! Set four years before in the face of all that isn't yet begins. (One year before Anakin presents.)
Anakin isn't invited to spar with Obi-Wan. The man avoids him like Anakin is ground zero for some hideously infectious diseaseโand he'd have to be pretty karking stupid not to have realized that at some point over the last seven years.
And he's a lot of things, most of which are tallied and catalogued for critique in the Temple, but stupid isnโt one of them.
Obi-Wanโs problem is more with Qui-Gon than with Anakinโbut Anakin isโฆ
Well. Anakin knows what he is to Obi-Wan: a wound. A reminder. Proof that he'd been shoved from the nest too early for all that Qui-Gon insists he was ready for knighthood. It's bitter medicine, and Obi-Wan canโt quite hide how his gaze purposefully glides past Anakin whenever theyโre in the same room.
