Time line: just after AOTC
Notes: Anakin and Padme aren't in love Padme is also in love with Obi Wan
Anakin turned his hand, it glinted in the harsh light in his room. He hated this thing, how could Obi Wan ever love him with this? And now he had competition. Padme. Anakin felt his scowl deepen, he liked Padme, a little but he didn't appreciate her taking care of Obi Wan, that was his job, but he couldn't have done anything because of his arm. What if Obi Wan fell in love with Padme, the thought caused Anakin to cry out. He couldn't loose Obi Wan, he would loose everything. The gentle knock on the door alerted Anakin of a presence, he turned seeing Obi Wan blocking out the light from the common room, instinctively Anakin pulled his severed arm behind his back, not wanting Obi Wan to see it, but without a word Obi Wan knelt beside him gently taking his hand, melding the cold metal fingers in his own. "What am I going to do with you Anakin?" Obi Wan asked gently, staring into Anakin's eyes playfully, Anakin didn't catch onto Obi Wan's gentle teasing, lost in the warmth he felt, the love that Obi Wan gave him without conditions. "It'll be alright Annie" Obi Wan said, misreading Anakin's silence "We're going to be alright" Obi Wan shifted suddenly "Padme told me that you two exchanged vows of love, is this true?" Anakin heart stopped, he had forgotten all about that in the days after the Geonosian battle, lost in the grief over losing his mother and his arm. He needed to explain but what could he say, he tried to find jealousy on Obi Wan's face but was faced with concern, Anakin felt his hear drop, Obi Wan wasn't jealous he was worried, being the devoted master. Anakin drew in his breath "Master I did say that, but I thought that we were going to die" Anakin shuddered as emotion rolled through him, he didn't want this, he didn't want Padme he wanted it like it had been for ten years just him and Obi Wan together, he didn't need anyone but Obi Wan. 'please be jealous' Anakin silently asked 'please tell Padme that you love me.' "Ani" Obi Wan said slowly, his eyes cast in an emotion Anakin couldn't decipher "No matter what I am the one person you can depend on, you understand me? Whatever you need, I will do to make you happy." It wasn't a declaration of love but Anakin felt warmth fill the cold blackness that enveloped him for days "Thank you master"
