Obi-Wan's eyes widened as he sputtered feebly. "Oh." He murmured, blushing.
"I understand if you don't feel the same way." Padme said hastily, averting his gaze from his. "I just...had to tell you, Obi-Wan."
Obi-Wan took her hand in his, gently brushing it against his soft lips. "Padme, I love you, but you know the Jedi Code. I am forbidden to be with any woman, much less a young queen on Naboo." His eyes were soft blue, and sadness openly shone through them.
"Obi-Wan, why did you choose this path?" Padme replied, tears rolling down her porcelain cheeks. "I love you Obi-Wan." She insisted. "And if not for this stupid Jedi Code I would be with you now."
"Padme, we can't. Possession is forbidden, attachment..."
"I know the Code Obi-Wan!" Padme bellowed. "But..." she stood up, "I'm sorry. I'm being silly, I have to go." She left.
Ten Years Later
"Anakin, why are you so nervous?" Obi-Wan snapped. "Calm yourself my young padawan."
"I haven't seen her in ten years master,"
"Her?" Obi-Wan asked quietly, eyes suddenly sad.
"Padme, master." Anakin murmured, blushingly.
"Ah, I see." Obi-Wan replied, still looking off. "Control your emotions, my padawan."
"If you loved like I've loved, and still do master, you would not think like this." Anakin said coldly.
"Mmmhmm." Obi-Wan murmured.
Meeting Padme
"Master Obi-Wan it is great to see you." The young senator smiled.
"Yes, malady. A pleasure as always." Obi-Wan replied, bringing her offered hand up to his lips, stopping abruptly as their eyes met, the same thought going through their heads.
Anakin frowned as he watched the conversation. "I am sure, Obi-Wan. Master of the Jedi Order to my knowledge."
"You are too kind, Padme."
The senator smiled, nodding to herself before changing the subject. "Ani?" she exclaimed. "Little Ani?"
Obi-Wan stepped back, mouth grave, eyes firmly downcast. "Ah, Obi-Wan." Yoda smiled.
"Master Yoda." Obi-Wan acknowledged.
"Good padawan has been for you?" Yoda asked, hobbling over to the window.
"Yes master." Obi-Wan glanced at the pair as Anakin murmured something that sounded as if he was flirting. Obi-Wan felt his blood boil.
Anakin to have a Mission?
Obi-Wan shook his head. "I do not believe that Anakin is prepared for his first mission." He said firmly.
"Master!" Anakin exclaimed in annoyance.
"Obi-Wan, I'm sure Anakin can choose for himself." Padme replied, frowning slightly.
"It is not a choice, I will not let me padawan go on this mission ill informed. Your feelings threaten you Anakin, they are your enemy."
"Obi-Wan, you don't understand. I..."
