It isn't long before they come to a door and Obi-Wan puts in code in to the pad next to it.
"Yes they are both still asleep" he nods as they step inside, looking the right at two door, "Usually these flats are for a Master and a Padawan" he explains, "But Anakin didn't want to leave after he got Ahsoka, lucky because I am on the Council our flat also came with a large office, so we converted that into a bedroom for Ahsoka and I moved my desk into my own room."
"Makes sense" she nods as though she didn't help Anakin with the planning for reorganising and decorating the office turned Padawan room, or with choosing the furniture in the living area and kitchen.
It looks like the mode they planned, three cream walls, one sky blue with two large comfortable sky blue couches by the wall that is just one large window, a holo viewer sits on a white and blue painted wooded table, a matching table is between the two couches, there is a fluffy cream rug on the floor, behind the couch in a meditation area with three blue floor mats and dozens of candles. The kitchen is also cream coloured with blue accessories and it is open with four blue bar stools to eat at.
It would look exactly how they modelled it if it wasn't for the mechanical mess, old tea cups and dozen datapad, robes and other bits of mess all over.
Padmé smiles it looks so homely.
"Sorry for the mess" he apologizes, moving to the kitchen to make tea, "Would you like a cup?"
"Please" she nods moving a droid head so she can sit on the couch.
"Oh" Obi-Wan pauses like Ani does when sensing something, "It seems our presents has woken them both up" he speaks, not looking away from his still boiling pot of tea.
"Master Kenobi you're back!" Ahsoka burst out of her room minutes later, still pulling her shirt on "Padmé!" she smiles at both of them "What are you doing here Senator?"
"Yeah Senator" Aankin smiles brightly from his doorway, pulling his robe over his shoulders "What are you doing here?" he is visibly holding back from kissing his wife.
She looks to Ahsoka who is sending her Master a unpressed look.
"You know?" she checks.
The Togruta teen rolls her eyes "Everyone knows" she snorts.
"Good" Padmé raises from the couch and walks forwards and kisses Ani's in greeting.
"Um" he turns red, looking to his Master and Padawan, "Padmé" he frowns worriedly.
"Relax Skyguy" Ahsoka runs at the couch jumping at full speed into the spot the older woman just cleared, "We know your married."
His eyes widen in panic.
"You aren't very good at hiding it" Obi-Wan agrees, pouring himself and Padmé a cup of tea, then moving to sit next to his Grandpadawan. "You're in no trouble Ani" he reassures, "Not with me" he promises.
"Oh" he lets out a relieved breath, a smile over taking his face, wrapping his flesh arm around her waist, "Good. I didn't think you'd be okay with us" he admits looking the man who raised him in the eye, "The Chancellor said Jedi-" he cuts himself off, shaking his head "Nevermind."
Padmé goes tense at the reminder of why they are there.
"Ahsoka, I'm sorry to ask but the Senator and I need to have word with Anakin" Onbi-Wan explains, also more tense.
"No kids allowed" she pouts, "Got it" she jumps off the couch, grabbing a piece of fruit from the bar then turning to her room, "I'll get started on my math homework."
"What's going on?" Anakin frowns, moving to sit next to Obi-Wan as his wife gets them both tea.
Obi-Wan moves over, moving a box of droid parts to the floor so their is more room for both of them to join him and putting his tea down the table.
Padmé sits down on his other side, putting both their cups of tea down next to his and taking her husbands hand, "Ani, we wanted to talk to you about the Chancellor."
He blinks "What about him?"
"Anakin" Obi-Wan says his former Padawan's name softly, "We know that you spent a lot more time with him as a child than the visits I took you for once a month."
He winces, "Right, sorry Obi-Wan the Chancellor liked spending time with me, but he didn't think you get it so he asked me not to say anything about it. I didn't think it was really that big a deal" he looks away, his voice turning bitter, "You were gone so much anyway I didn't think you'd care" he mutters quietly.
"I do care Ani" Obi-Wan sighs, "Ani you know I didn't chose to go on those missions, I was assigned them by the Council and the Senate. Just because I went didn't mean I wanted to."
He blinks, "No you asked for all those missions. Sheev told me you begged to go away more!"
Padmé closes her eyes and tries to stay calm, all positive feelings she had for her long time advisor gone. Damn that man.
"No Ani that's not true" Obi-Wan shakes his head, "Palpatine lied to you Aankin, he made sure I was away more so that he could be alone with you."
He pulls away from them, jumping off the couch, shaking his head furiously "No you're lying! Why would he do that huh?"
"To take advantage of you" Padmé speaks the words breaking her heart. "He touched you didn't he?" she lets out a breath "Maybe he still does."
Anakin's eyes go wide "No, no, no! Padmé I don't know what you think you heard or saw but I swear I'd never cheat on you!"
He thinks... "Ani no" she stands up, taking his hands, kissing him gently on the cheek "I know you would never do that" she kisses him again, feeling him relax at her touch "You would never hurt me like that. I'm saying I think the Chancellor made you do something, something you didn't want to do. And that isn't cheating, not if you don't have a choice."
His eyes close tightly, "He...he's my friend" he whisperer falling back onto the couch between them not looking either of them in the eye.
Obi-Wan releases a breath and takes Ani's metal hand, she holds the other. "Young one I am so sorry" he kisses his former Padawan's hair.
He doesn't look at either of them, eyes locked on the tea "It's like being the taker you know? When you have a Depur who is mostly nice but they need a way to take out their anger so they don't hurt all the slaves. One is the taker, they get hurt a few time a week and outside of that time the Depur is nice, so nice to them and everyone else" he shakes his head, tears running down his cheeks "I know Sheev's no Depur, but he's so nice outside that time."
Padmé leads into his side "Ani we don't have takers here. No one should get away with beating or ra-hurting anyone that way. I understand things were different when you were a kid, but that kind of crime is not okay, not for a slave owner or the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic."
He keeps frowning at the tea, "How did you even find out?" he questions chokingly, clearly trying to change the subject.
Padmé and Obi-Wan share a look.
Obi-Wan sighs, "I'm sorry young one but it was in the newspaper. A reporter figured it out."
His head flies up, "What?" his eyes go wide, "Everyone knows?"
They both nod, "I'm sorry Ani" Padmé whisperers kissing his cheek.
"Skyguy!" Ahsoka's door flies open, the girl runs forward and jumps into his lap hugging him, "Sorry I listened at the door, you didn't really think I was gonna do homework did you? I didn't think I'd hear this though."
Anakin half smiles, putting his arms around her "It's alright Snips, shoulda know you would eavesdrop."
She smiles back then freezes, releasing her grip on him, "Sorry" she winces "I didn't think, are you okay with me touching you?"
Padmé grimaces looking down at their join hands, she didn't think of that. Is he okay with them touching him?
"It's okay" he smiles clearly falsely "I uh don't like being touched by people I don't trust" he admits, "Or at all after... time with the Chancellor, or a nightmare about it" he grimaces, "But most of the time I'm happier when I'm hugging one of you guys" he pulls Ahsoka closer and she hugs back with a smile "Or Rex if he ever lets me" he rolls his eyes "He's too Ar-Amu damned professional" he huffs pulling all three of them closer for a cuddle pile, tears still running down his face.
Padmé smiles, oh right she said she'd tell Rex how Ani was doing, she takes out her comm, Rex this is Padmé, we spoke to Anakin and the paper was right. He's as about as well as you could expect, I'll talk to you again later. She sends before curling up closer to the man she loves and the people who love him.
