DarthSomething; I have to make this quick because otherwise this section will be longer than my actual story. Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it. I see were you're coming from when you say taking out Anakin's and Padme's relationship would make the movies really different. Boring? I guess I can't imagine that however. To be honest though most slash stories I've read don't completely remove their relationship, it happens prior to Anakin and Obi-Wan ending up together or in a number of different scenerios, depends on the story. Personally, I like stories, including Au's, that keep as many elements of the canon as possible. Everyone sees things differently though and maybe for some people it would be boring. Thanks again for the reply and sorry if I sounded a bit mean or rude in my previous comment.
DarthSomething: I'm really glad we were able to go back and forth with giving each other too much grieve. I'm also happy to hear you're going to read stories first before reviewing, that's a good thing. There's plenty of awesome stories on fanfiction by amazing authors so happy reading and may the force be with too, always! :)
DarthSomething: No prob. I didn't expect you to read something you weren't interested in and I hope people will see the good things in my story too! lol, I hope I get this much feedback from people who do read this story. Not sure if you're being playful or mean by adding; :P but thanks for the reply and of course Anakin has fun in the story. ;)
A/N Don't know what time setting this is but it's prior to RotS. I always try to be in-character but it's been awhile since I've watched the movies so sorry for any ooc ness. Hope you like it! This is slash, malexmale, Anakin and Obi-Wan in a relationship, if you don't like it fine but turn away now! Hurry! Bye, bye! For the rest of you, enjoy! :) I erased a reply I had to a guess reviewer because it was a bit wordy but I know they saw it already because they replied to it so it should be alright. Anyway, I realized I forgot to warn people about something that I probably should have, sorry. This is rated T so there is nothing explicit but there is some sexual reference. Okay, think I'm good now. :)
Obi-wan raised an eyebrow at the idea Anakin had suggested. "A traditional first date?" he questioned the new knight curiously.
Anakin smiled and nodded. He and Obi-wan had been an "official" couple for nearly a year. Official in their hearts and minds but as far as the order or anyone else was concerned their relationship hadn't changed. The two were still, former master and padawan, friends, brothers-in-arms and the team to beat all teams. They were still those things, of course, but for the last year they had been more. Since they never had a technical date, and both would have some well-deserved time off in the next couple days, Anakin figured it was over do. It would have to be low-key but it wouldn't be the first time he and Obi-wan went out for drinks or even for a bite and no one but them would know it was a date.
Obi-wan sighed heavily. "Haven't we already done that?" In his mind it was late in the game to being going on a first date.
Anakin shook his head. "We've been out for drinks and food as friends and comrades, but never been out on a real date." he said, frowning.
Their relationship had had a sudden change in one night nearly a year ago, taking them from friends to lovers. The night had been one neither would forget.
It had begun as an argument between Anakin and Obi-wan, about what exactly no longer mattered but it had been more heated than any argument they previously had. It eventually turned physical when Anakin had taken his master by the front of his robes and slammed him hard against a wall in their shared chambers. Anakin had glared at Obi-wan angrily, breathing hard. When the boy regained his composure he suddenly, for a reason he couldn't explain, pulled the older man against him roughly. Anakin had then wrapped a hand around the back of his master's neck and crashed their lips together in a searing kiss. Things quickly escalated from there. Before Obi-wan had had time to think on how wrong it was he had Anakin pinned to the nearest bed, kissing, caressing and grinding against the younger man with a desperate need. From there things had been a blear; grasping hands from both, torn clothing, feverish kisses and bites on heated flesh, lewd moans and curses so loud both had prayed to any God that might have heard that the walls were thick enough to muffle the sounds.
The next morning had been awkward, to say the least. Obi-wan had left their quarters extra early, feeling a gnawing guilt. Despite Anakin being the one who initiated, the master felt he should have stopped it. He had done nothing but encouraged Anakin, accepted his advances and even fought him for dominance. Though Anakin had been of age at the time and Obi-wan had never had inappropriate thoughts about the young Jedi prior to him entering adulthood, Anakin still had been his padawan. Obi-wan knew what they had done was wrong in a number of ways and that had nearly caused the Jedi master to search out a new master to teach the young man.
That night however, as Obi-wan prepared to talk to Anakin about how the incident should never repeat itself and how he might want to consider another master to train him, Anakin approached him with something else on his mind. The sex had been slower, more sensual but just as passionate and came with less guilt the next morning.
Things continued in the same way, night after night, Anakin came to Obi-wan's bed. Eventually, the two came to a silent but mutual understanding and they both found every moment alone they could find.
"The start of our relationship was hot, angry sex in your…" Anakin was cut off by Obi-wan shouting his name. "Anakin!"
"Would you say that a little louder, I don't think the whole temple heard?" Obi-wan asked sarcastically but quietly. He glanced around the hallway they stood in and groaned silently in frustration. "You said a traditional date, what did you have in mind?"
The younger man leaned against the wall, arms crossed. He shrugged his shoulders. "You know, dinner, dancing, a show, like normal couples."
Obi-wan rubbed his temple with a hand. "In case you haven't noticed, we are not a normal couple." He felt his head beginning to ache. "We're not even supposed to be a couple at all, if the council found out…." It was Anakin's turn to interrupt.
"The council." the younger Jedi rolled his eyes and shifted in his spot. He meant Obi-wan's eyes. "You worry too much about the council master." Anakin said, a little too dismissively for Obi-wan's taste.
Obi-wan backed himself against the wall across from Anakin, tilting his head backwards to stare at the ceiling and flinched as he hit the wall harder than intended. "When were you thinking of us going on this 'date'?" he asked in resignation, knowing from experience how persistent Anakin could be.
Anakin straightened. "I was thinking tomorrow night?" he asked, hopefully.
Obi-wan sighed again. "After classes, if nothing else transpires." he replied as he straightened himself up too. "And, I'm no longer your master." he said matter-of-factly.
Anakin beamed. "Tomorrow then." he replied happily. "And I can still call you master in the bedroom right?" he asked cheeky, laughing when Obi-wan groaned loudly as they parted ways. Anakin went off to hone his sabre skills and Obi-wan headed towards a class of younglings he had to teach.
