So in our minds, Ani and Obi still share an apartment in the Jedi Temple. Since these oneshots (so far; it'll be stated if this changes) are all placed during The Clone Wars, before Ahsoka, neither Jedi has a Padawan. So neither of them felt the need to move out of the rooms they shared when Ani was Obi's Padawan. Plus, The Clone Wars in full swing, how often do they really go back there?

Anakin lay on his stomach on his bed, reading. Though he would never admit it aloud, the last mission had drained him. Obi-Wan probably thinks I'm… doing something productive. I don't know. But all he really wanted to do was recharge...As long as he doesn't catch me reading. I'd lose my reputation for sure! He smirked, relaxing further into his pillow, his eyes drifting shut as he slowly fell…

A loud, shrill skwawk sounded from outside his room, causing him to jump and tense, anticipating an attack before he realized he… was in his own room. Not letting his guard down, Anakin crept to his door and, hearing nothing outside, opened it, Lightsaber at the ready.

Obi-Wan must have heard him though, because a second later, "Anakin? Can you... Can you bring me a cup or something?" floated through Obi-Wan's door. Anakin stopped in his tracks.

A… cup? What could he need a cup for…? …Why can't he get one himself? It's just in the kitchen… What if he can't? But then... why would he be unable to? A collage of possible situations ran through his head, from Obi-Wan injured – but why would he ask for a cup? – to the beginnings of a couple strange scenarios that he pushed from his mind – forcefully – before they were even complete thoughts. All this happened in a moment before Anakin decided that this was Obi-Wan he was thinking about. Nothing could be that – nevermind. He grabbed the closest one he found and opened his old Master's door.

Anakin had absolutely no idea what to expect, but seeing Obi-Wan standing three feet away from his desk, leaning over to peer at the top of it and desperately trying to make it look like the most normal thing in the world was definitely not it. "Uh, here?" Anakin placed the cup into Obi-Wan's outstretched hand – but the Jedi Master's eyes never left the desk. "What are you-"

"There's a bug."

"…What?"

"A bug." Obi-Wan's face was deadpanned.

"Oh…kay. Where?"

"Over-" he cleared his throat to get his voice back in the correct octave, "over there," he nodded at the desk.

Anakin walked over and saw a baby Needlebug sitting on Obi-Wan's datapad. He snorted before he could stop himself, earning him a warning glare from the elder Jedi. He schooled his features into an impassive mask. "It must have grabbed onto your cloak when you were on Kashyyyk with Senator Organa." He looked back at the Jedi Master, noting the thinly veiled fear in his eyes. "Are you… afraid of bugs, Obi-Wan?" The lack of response was response enough. Anakin was truly confused. "But… the Acklay on Geonosis! You killed that with no problem! It was little more than a giant bug!"

Obi-Wan's gaze had not left the two-inch-long Needlebug on the desk. "That was a giant bug. They're not as sc- intimidating when they're giant."

Anakin quirked an eyebrow at his former Master, but wisely did not comment. Instead, he raised his hands in a placating gesture, stepping back. Obi-Wan tore his gaze from the bug – which had still yet to even twitch an antennae – to give Anakin a meaningful look. He only got a smirk in response, as well as a permissive hand wave toward the desk. And the bug.

Half a minute passed with the Jedi Master not moving a muscle before Anakin took pity on the elder man. Well, sort of. His arms crossed, he flicked the first two fingers on his left hand upward, the Needlebug floating a foot above the desk. Obi-Wan flinched, but to his credit, did not cower. Not quite. Anakin used the Force to open Obi-Wan's window and fling the Needlebug outside. The elder Jedi strode over and slammed the window shut, visibly relaxing once the latch clicked. He stood there, staring out the window for a few moments, his ears turning red before he ducked his head and turned back around. Anakin was standing in the same place as before, arms crossed, smirk on his face. "You were so scared of a bug that you forgot how to use the Force?"

Obi-Wan just shrugged, his ears burning.

Anakin could not hold back the laughter.

Okay, Obi-Wan didn't *actually* react that badly... that was just how I saw the actual character handling this situation... or rather, not handling it. Seren and I can both handle bugs (more or less)!

Please review! We'd love to hear what you think!
