Three days can seem like very short time a very long one. To Obi-Wan the three days that Anakin spent in unconsciousness with little improvement were some of the hardest of his life, Guilt hadfound a home in his heart and no matter how much he tried to ignore it there was no escaping it's persistent voice that whispered in his ear "This is your fault. You try to be the perfect Jedi but what good Jedi hurts an innocent little boy?"

It had seemed an eternity since he had rushed from the ship to meet the medics who were waiting for them outside, with Anakin in his arms. So he was slightly surprised when he felt Anakin shift slightly. Assuming that his lack of sleep was getting to him he remained deep in thought though his hand moved to close over Anakin's When the boy returned his gesture with a small squeeze Obi-Wan almost jumped from the surprise. Snapping beckto the moment he fixed his gaze more pointedly on Anakin.

"Anakin? Padawan? Can you here me?"

Anakin's head lolled to the side so he could look at Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan felt grateful that that the inhaler had been removed the night before. He thought that the unfamiliar devise that demanded to breathe for you might scare Anakin. "Master Obi-Wan?" Anakin asked, his voice feeble and hoarse.

"I'm here, Anakin. It's alright. I'm right here" Obi-Wan assured him.

"Are you alright? All I remember is..." he broke off with a wince but before Obi-Wan could tell him to keep still he continued "All I remember is…he was tryin' to kill you…"

All Obi-Wan could do was nod. He swallowed hard before speaking. "Yes he was. But you…you saved me, Padawan. But you were…wounded in the process." He waited anxiously for Anakin's reaction. What he wasn't expecting was Anakin's eyes to fill up with tears. "What is it, Ani? Do you want me to call a healer?"

Anakin's head rolled from side to side in a sort of head-shake. "No" he whispered.

"What's wrong, Ani?"

"I'm sorry:" he sniffed "I didn't think you'd come after me I though…I thought you didn't care. I was just trying to make things better. You don't have to take me back if you don't want to! I don' want you to deal with me jus' 'cause of Master Qui-Gon…"

"Anakin…" Obi-Wan trailed off unsure of what to say. How was he going to explain to Anakin why he had been so distant. How was he ever going to make Anakin understand. "Anakin I do care. I know I have been so distant but I've just had a lot on my mind. I know- I know that that's no excuse but…please try to forgive me Anakin."

When Anakin turned back to face Obi-Wan his eyes shown with an acceptance that Obi-Wan had rarely seen before. Then pulling himself up slightly Anakin reached up and locked his arms around Obi-Wan's neck. Obi-Wan leaned down a bit and returned the hug. "I just wanna be your friend" Anakin whispered in his ear.

"I know" Obi-Wan answered softly.

Anakin fell back onto the pillow, his eyes much brighter now. The streams of tears had stopped their cascade down his cheeks and Obi-Wan gently brushed away the remainders. "The council will never allow me to go back" Anakin declared miserably.

"Come now, Anakin. So you really think they'd deny a master the right to continue training his padawan?"

"So does that mean that you want,…still want…me as your padawan?"

Obi-Wan smiled his "yes".

Annaline and a young medic who had come to check on the pair walked into the room at that moment to find Master and Padawan in a tight embrace.

"So if you're feeling lonely, don't
You're the only one I ever want
I only wanna make it good
So if I love you a little more than I should
Please forgive me"
(Bryan Adams "Please Forgive Me")
