This... Is... So... EMBARRASSING!
He wasn't even being dragged! He was being CARRIED in Anakin's arms to the healers! But according to hid padawan, he couldn't trust that Obi-Wan would see the healers himself. It wasn't long before he got to the HALLS OF HEALING and gave Obi-Wan to a healer who was waiting.
And with that, Obi-Wan was taken out of the room and into one of the other rooms. He then looked to her calmly and asked, "Do you know if anyone told Anakin about-?"
But the healer cut him off. "Yes. I told Anakin about the infection that had set in your leg and side. He had to know, Master Kenobi."
He blinked and stared at her, she seriously did tell him! Why wasn't he surprised? And why was he so annoyed by this? Maybe because it meant he would have to talk with Anakin and convince him that he was fine and didn't need him to babysit him. So he turned away and walked towards the door.
"Master Kenobi, what about your-?"
"I need to talk with Anakin. And then I will have this minor issue treated." He stated without looking back, he tapped his fingers on the door pad and the door slid open. He left without any further argument.
Outside, Anakin was sitting and staring at the floor, but when Obi-Wan entered, he looked up in shock. "Master, I thought they were going to treat you!"
"They were." Obi-Wan responded evenly. "But I felt I needed to speak with you first." He took a seat beside him and looked to his padawan with a calm expression and relaxed posture. "I need to know why this seems too urgent to you, why you feel so strongly about me seeing help right away."
Anakin looked down, breaking away from Obi-Wan's stare. He didn't know how to answer this.
Maybe he had asked this question too soon, and Anakin wasn't ready to speak about it.
"I'm afraid." Anakin finally mumbled.
"What?" Obi-Wan had heard him clearly, but he couldn't truly being to piece it together. Anakin was usually better at hiding anything but joy or displeasure. But never had he seen fear in his eyes, his actions were more out of arrogance than it as well. It shocked his.
"I'm afraid." Anakin repeated a little louder. "I don't want to imagine what could happen. All the outcomes that could be from this."
It made sense. To Obi-Wan, Anakin was like his little brother. He looked out for him like he was a brother, and stood up for him. Maybe Anakin felt the same way. "You didn't want to see me hurt?"
"Of course not!" Anakin snapped. He took a breath and clenched his fists a moment before he composed himself once more. "When I found you as you were in the mountains, I was scared. I thought you would die before I could find help. But you didn't, and I assumed that everything would get back to normal."
"But it's not." Obi-Wan finished.
"Because you won't just let yourself be treated for the infection. You're only killing yourself, Master." Anakin stated. "And it hurts me to see you like this."
Obi-Wan smiled assuring. "If I see the healer and get myself fixed up, will you stop being so maternal over me?"
"Hey! I wasn't treating you like I was your-!" Anakin stopped and stared at him, eyes locked and Obi-Wan held his firm gaze. Anakin dropped his. "Okay maybe I was. But it shouldn't have been so easy to pull you out of that vent."
"No it shouldn't have. I see your point there." Obi-Wan stood up. "I'll see to that I get healed now, and then we can work on an exercise."
"Yes, Master." Anakin nodded before he watched Obi-Wan walk out. The older left and he sighed heavily. Knowing now that he meant so much to his apprentice was usual. At least he could rely on the boy when he needed him. With a grunt, he continued to walk down the hallway until he came to the room.
He didn't realize how blurry his vision was, or how he was shaking like a leaf. Weakness had caught up to him, and he could only press two of the buttons before he found his legs giving out on him before he fell to the floor in a crippled heap. Obi-Wan could only try and reach out to anyone nearby to help him. He couldn't tell if he were imagining when he heard rushed footsteps before he closed his eyes.
