Anakin was excited, today was the day his Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, was returning from his 2 month long mission! The 17 year old, impatiently sat through the rest of his classes for the day, and rushed home as soon as humanly possible. Obi-Wan Kenobi walked into their shared quarters, upon not seeing Anakin, he realized that his young apprentice was in class still. Sighing, he tried to slip out of his cloak, and boots, but he was so tired from the mission he simply fell into a heap on the couch. The Jedi Knight was asleep before his head hit the cushions.
Anakin ran into their shared quarters, ready to tackle the older man with a fierce hug, but was greeted by a much more amusing sight. There lay his master, twisted in a half worn cloak, and one boot off on their living room couch. Obi-Wan wasn't usually a heavy sleeper, but he didn't even stir when Anakin sat on the other end of the couch, just watching the older man sleep. Smiling, he got up, and very gently removed the older man's cloak and boots. The young apprentice walked into Obi-Wan's room, grabbed a blanket, and walked back to his Master's sleeping form; draping the comforter around him.
The Jedi Knight stirred, opening his eyes to see his padawan watching him with a bemused smile. "Anakin?" he asked groggily, moving to get up. His apprentice's hand was on his chest in a moment, pushing him back down. "You're tired, Master. Rest." Obi-Wan sighed, laying back, and his eyes fluttering closed. Then they opened, and eyed his padawan. "Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked aloud, thinking perhaps something was wrong. The padawan shook his head, and replied, "I was simply thinking how. . ." The Jedi Knight cut him off, "If you say 'cute when I'm sleepy' I'll have you licking the Council chambers clean." he threatened. Anakin gave a shocked look, and then a sly grin. "Well, I was going to say 'peaceful', but now that you mention it. . ." said Anakin, giving a thoughtful look. Obi-Wan's apprentice didn't even see the pillow flying through the air at him until it knocked him to the ground. Oof "That's padawan abuse!" he cried, unable to hide the small laugh. Obi-Wan snorted, "Then let me sleep, you said I need by beauty rest." Anakin chuckled evilly, "I said you needed you're rest, yes, but I cringe at the thought of how much you'll need to actually start looking good." He dodged the next pillow, and ran out of the room laughing. Obi-Wan sighed, using the force to close and lock the door, so he might possibly get some decent sleep. He gave a small smile, as his eyes fluttered closed.
It was good to be home.
