asked me to continue. Thanks for the review, sorry but this is only going
to be short!
Chapter 8
Entering their quarters, Obi-Wan saw his master sat on the couch. Crossing the room quickly, Obi-Wan dropped to his knees in front of him. Not being able to take it anymore Obi-Wan buried his face in his Master's leg and tried to control his tears.
Qui-Gon stroked his hair. "Padawan, what's wrong?"
"It's just that," Obi-Wan had to force himself to say it. "I've been so stupid!"
"How?" Qui-Gon asked, thoroughly confused, his anger at his apprentice had left him and he now just wanted to know what was going on.
"I should have realised that when you were mad at me, you might have saw either Owen or Ollie. It was Owen and Jamie with Uncle Mace today, not me! I would never leave the order!" Obi-Wan burst out and buried himself closer to his Master, despite the fact that he was still kneeling in front of him. "I never should of yelled at you, I should of thought through things and realised what was going on, instead of letting my anger take over," he sobbed out.
Qui-Gon picked Obi-Wan up off his knees and held him, despite the fact that his Padawan was thirteen and still growing. "I too, should have kept my anger in check, and I'm sorry that I mixed you up with Owen, but it's a easy mistake to make," he whispered soothingly.
Obi-Wan just hiccupped and leaned his head against his Master's broad shoulder, his sobs all spent. "We both should have kept our anger in check and I now know that you didn't want to betray me on Melida/Dann, that you had to, but it still anger me when I thought that you said you didn't want to be a Jedi." Qui-Gon continued, still speaking gently, so as not to upset his apprentice any further.
"I didn't want to betray you, but I didn't want to betray Owen, Ollie, Jamie, Ewan, Bruck and Uncle Xanatos either. That was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. I never want to be in a situation like that again!" Obi-Wan tightened his grip on his Master, as if he let go he wouldn't be able to handle it.
"You'll never have to make that decision again," Qui-Gon rubbed Obi-Wan's back soothingly.
"Good," Obi-Wan choked out, silently berating himself for being so childish and pathetic. Unfortunately for him, he shields weren't so good at the moment and Qui-Gon heard him and regretfully gave him a cuff around the ear.
Obi-Wan looked at him, shocked and Qui-Gon looked back, attempting to look stern. "Crying is all part of growing up, and it is never pathetic," the apprentice was told.
"Doesn't mean I don't feel pathetic," Obi-Wan mumbled, not intending for Qui-Gon to hear.
"Well, you'll feel pathetic explained to Bruck, Owen, Ollie, Jamie and Ewan why you're grounded," Qui-Gon told him.
Obi-Wan just squeaked and went into what he, Bruck and Xanatos called 'full obedience Padawan mode'.
Obi-Wan climbed down off Qui-Gon's lap and went and took a shower. When he came out Qui-Gon was sat at the kitchen table reading. Obi-Wan grabbed his school stuff and sat opposite. "I'm still sorry that I yelled at you earlier, Master. It's not my place as your Jedi Apprentice to question you." All this was said in a timid voice.
"And I should look after my Apprentice better, it's my duty as your Master to do so," Qui-Gon told him lightly.
Obi-Wan smiled at him happily and settled down to work. "Studying right after your study hour, Padawan?" Qui-Gon couldn't help but asking.
"I didn't get much done," Obi-Wan admitted. "I was feeling guilty at the fact I'd yelled at you."
"So you spent the whole hour beating yourself up?" Qui-Gon asked with a laugh.
"Yes, Master," Obi-Wan told him sheepishly.
"Well, at least you're studying now, without me having to tell you to," Qui- Gon commented.
"Well, Uncle Xanatos would kill me if I didn't catch up with my French work," Obi-Wan grinned and then ran for the couch and armed himself with cushion because he had admitted that he was working for his Uncle, not his Master.
"Well, boys will be boys," Qui-Gon groaned and picked his Apprentice up by the waist and began to tickle him.
Ok, this will be continued, but I'm not sure when because of exams. And speaking of exams, I have my maths G.C.S.E in about 2 hours so I'm going to go and study, please leave a review!
