Ignoring the annoyed huff and glares of the other people in the waiting room with him, Anakin kept pacing.
Perhaps if he became too much of a bother they would allow him to wait in Obi-Wan's room instead, where he could see him, touch him, make sure his heart was beating with his own ears and eyes. He just wanted to see him, was that too much to ask?
Apparently yes if the constant refusal of the staff was any indicator.
But what else did they expect? The man he intended to spend the rest of his life with received a poisoned dart to the leg during his last mission and had, according to what Cody told him, collapsed after the fight. And he still hadn't woken up. Anakin had every right to worry.
Patience did not suit him but he would wait as long as needed, Obi-Wan was worth every single minute of pacing in the waiting room of the karked medical wing.
He could always use the time to work on his speech, the one he always prepared when the copper-haired Jedi got hurt. Not that the task needed much effort, his former master's predictable selflessness made the situations leading up to an injury all too similar, allowing his arguments to work for almost all scenarios.
Not that he ever said it out loud, the relief of seeing Obi-Wan alive always drowned out everything else, causing his speech to remain unheard despite the many trips to the medical wing. Anakin didn't mind though, after all, what could he say that his partner didn't already know?
A nurse calling out his name snapped him out of his introspection and the young Jedi excitedly followed her. She barely had time to advise caution that the Jedi rushed in the room, almost tripping over his feet in the process.
Giving Anakin a pointed stare, the nurse informed him Obi-Wan should wake up in a little while but that he was allowed to wait here until he did, the since you're bothering everyone in the waiting room implied.
Snorting once she left the room, Anakin smiled to himself, quite proud that his strategy worked out. Being a disturber didn't have many perks but at least it allowed him to wait by Obi-Wan's side.
