*Two weeks pass…*
"What are you doing?" Caryn asked suddenly, "You can't give us a test." The class muttered agreements to her statement.
"And why not?" Obi-Wan continued passing out test papers as he threw her an amused glance.
"It's too weird," Liza replied, making a face.
"You're like- one of us," Razi stated, again the class agreed.
"You're too cool to give a test," Kifa added optimistically.
"Yeah, yeah, nice try," Obi-Wan said nonchalantly. Cagi raised her hand and he gave her an inquisitive nod, mentally noting that the seat in front of her was empty.
"Can I have the pass?" she asked. Cadi- he remembered who filled that seat now, Cadi was absent.
"Sure," Obi-Wan wove his way out of the rows of desks back to his own and began to dug through his bag for the standard-issue wooden hall pass. Not finding it, he looked up. "Ah man," he pouted, "Where's my pass? I loved that pass."
Unconvinced giggles circled around the room.
"Seriously, I did. It had my name on it and everything, I show it off to my friends all the time," his pout deepened.
"Um, Mr. Kenobi?" Jorey said uncertainly, pointing to something on the floor, "Is that it?"
Obi spun around, "My pass!" he exclaimed happily and swept it up off the floor. Grinning, eyes shining proudly, he handed it to Cagi, who left with it promptly.
"You could've just gotten another one," Chaos suggested offhandedly as she and her peers scribbled out their tests, "A *cleaner* one."
"I don't even want to *think* about how filthy that thing is," he grinned evilly as the classed 'EWW-ed.' "In my mind, it is the most pristine square of wood on Coruscant."
Cagi came back into the room and handed him the pass, which he embraced in both hands. Randomly he stuck out his tongue as far as it would go and dragged the pass down it. Several students started gagging, their tests forsaken. He grinned again.
"Did you enjoy yourself?" he inquired casually, hugging his pass to his chest affectionately.
"In the- bathroom?" Cagi looked at him strangely as she found her seat, "If that's possible, I guess."
*The next day*
Cadi Din neared the door of what would be her Classic class in about five minutes. The halls were empty besides her; this was her free period. She briefly wondered if Mr. Kenobi was around, she had to ask him when to make up the test she'd missed yesterday.
As if reading her thoughts, Obi-Wan popped out of the Language office and strolled down the hall in the opposite direction of where she was standing; he hadn't noticed her there. After recovering from the initial shock to her senses that the sight of him always caused, she left her bag on the floor and skipped to catch up with him.
"Mr. Kenobi!" she stage-whispered, not wanting to upset any of the classes still in progress. Obi-Wan halted abruptly and looked around for who had called him. Cadi stopped where she was next to a long strip of lockers and waited for him. Obi-Wan smiled politely.
"Where were you yesterday?" he asked conspiratorially, "I missed you." Casually he walked up to where she was.
"Yeah, sorry. I was wondering-" Cadi paused nervously, noticing now that Obi-Wan was kind of close to her, and he smelled *really* good. She fought to hold his crystalline gaze steadily.
"What?" Obi took another fraction of a step toward her, and Cadi glanced down quickly to assess that they were now standing toe-to-toe. Wow, she thought, *he's* got no sense of personal space whatsoever. No longer capable of staring up at him, she lowered her gaze. A mistake: now all she could focus on was the minimal rising and falling of his chest underneath his clothes as he breathed silently. Cadi pleaded to the Force for this moment to be over as she secretly wished it wouldn't end.
"About the test-" she managed, clearing her throat self-consciously.
"Oh right!" he cried out in sudden remembrance, "Ahm, whenever you're ready to take it-"
"I've got lunch after your class," she confessed quickly, fearing that if she didn't get out of this position within the next minute, she wouldn't be able to contain herself any longer.
"Great, I'm free too," he backed toward the office slowly to retrieve his books before class started. He smiled again and gave her an imperceptible wink as he disappeared behind the door. Cadi breathed out forcefully and fell against the lockers.
"What a god," she sighed again to herself, "but praise the Force that's over."
"What are you doing?" Caryn asked suddenly, "You can't give us a test." The class muttered agreements to her statement.
"And why not?" Obi-Wan continued passing out test papers as he threw her an amused glance.
