Chapter1-Thunder
Summary-Obi-Wan always was afraid of thunder
Obi's age: 12
BOOM
Obi-Wan drew his legs closer to his chest and squeezed his eyes shut. He couldn't take it anymore. It had been raining like banthas for the past half an hour and with rain came thunder. And with thunder came blood curling fear for the young Padawan. He pulled himself up and sat at the edge of his bed, wondering what to do. It was the third hour and the entire temple was fast asleep except him. He hated himself for having this ridiculous fear
Dammit Kenobi what's wrong with you?! It's not like it's gonna make way in here and kill you or anything!
The thought made him shudder.
BOOM
Obi-Wan jumped and almost fell off the bed.
I have to do something about this now.
Looking around his room, one particular thing caught his eye. It was the photo frame on his bedside table that held a picture of him and Qui-Gon which they had taken not too long ago.
Qui-Gon! He'll know what to do about this!
The Padawan beamed but another thought came to him
But what if he's disappointed that something this small has me scared to death……
BOOM
"Ok ok I'll go to him!!" Obi-Wan yelled turning to face the window as though the heavens where trying to tell him something. He got up off the bed and walked out his door. Just as he entered the living room his doubts re-surfaced. He stalled for a second…
Ugh….just go already!! Neither the thunder nor Qui-Gon is going to kill you if you just ask him for some help!
Obi-Wan decided to listen to his inner self and went on to his master's room. He frowned upon stopping at the door. He put his hand on the knob and stalled
Come on! Just open the door, gently wake him up and ask him for some help!!
He took a deep breath, twisted the knob, and opened the door, careful not to squeak it. He stepped into the dark room, leaving the door slightly ajar allowing just enough light in to allow him to see. He looked to the left hand corner of the room where his master lay fast asleep. He walked over to the side of the bed and saw Qui-Gon lying on his side faced towards the wall, and away from him. Obi-Wan swallowed and put a hand on the broad shoulder "Master?" he whispered. Nothing. He shook the shoulder lightly "Master?" After a while Qui-Gon began to stir. He turned his head to face Obi-Wan. "Obi-Wan?" he mumbled still not quite fully awake. "Yes, Master…" Obi-Wan said barely above a whisper. At that moment Qui-Gon's mind registered what was going on: Padawan. Calling. Middle of night-NOT A GOOD SIGN. He shot up and put a hand on the boy's shoulder "Obi-Wan! Is everything alright?!" he half yelled. "Yes master everything is alright…well kind of…." He said almost murmuring the last part. Qui-Gon's body slumped and he pushed himself up to sit on the edge of his bed "Then what brings you to my room at this hour?" He asked softly, gesturing for the boy to sit next to him. Obi-Wan obeyed "well it's kind of that….uh….I'm uh…." He stuttered.
BOOM
Obi-Wan almost jumped up and hid behind his master. Instead he just shrieked and flinched slightly. But Qui-Gon realized what was wrong. He put a hand on the boy's shoulder and pulled him closer "are you afraid of the thunder Padawan?" he said as softly as he could. "I'm so sorry master…I know it's unfit for a Jedi to be afraid of something like this but I just can't help it I-"Qui-Gon silenced his Padawan's ranting by putting a finger to his lips. "Sh. Look Obi-Wan it's perfectly normal to be afraid sometimes. Whether you're a slave, or a Jedi." He said softly. Obi-Wan looked down "Yes master" he mumbled. The thunder roared louder than ever and the Padawan cringed. "Obi-Wan, why don't you stay here for the night?" Qui-Gon said rubbing soft circles onto the boy's back. "Lay down" he added, softly pushing down on his shoulder. Obi-Wan lifted his feet off the floor, and slowly pushed backwards on the bed, then shot his master an "are-you sure?" look. Qui-Gon just nodded. He brought himself to lie next to the boy and propped himself up slightly on his side. He looked down at blue/green eyes. "Let me tell you something Obi-Wan" h said beginning to stroke short ginger hair. Obi-Wan looked up a bit more interested. "When I was your age….I was afraid of thunder as well" A smile graced Qui-Gon's lips as he saw shock and surprise roll off his Padawan in waves. And as if to answer the unspoken question he said "And one day when I couldn't take it anymore, I told my master. I thought he would be ashamed of me but he wasn't. He told me that all I needed to do was to trust him to be there for me when the thunder dawned on us." Qui-Gon's smile widened as he remembered his own padawanship "I haven't been afraid since. Now I ask you Obi-Wan…. Will you trust me?" Obi-Wan, who was momentarily shocked, looked up and nodded. "Close your eyes and trust me my child." Qui-Gon said barely above a whisper. Obi-Wan obeyed, and slept soundly through the whole night.
