46. Chapter 46

Obi-Wan kissed Anakin, trying to forget everything. Trying to forget that he'd be gone a just a few short days, trying to forget the Jedi code. Trying to forget how wrong all of this must be. But he kissed him anyway, trying to forget.

Anakin kissed Obi-Wan, trying to remember everything. Trying to remember what Obi-Wan first said to him, trying to remember the first moment he'd realized he'd fallen for this guy. Trying to remember their first kiss. So he kissed him again, trying to remember.

Kenobi tried to ignore it all. Not knowing what the Padawans could be doing back there, he tried to ignore that it could be bad for him, bad for his former self, bad for Anakin, and bad for the Jedi in general. Tried to ignore what he hoped Obi-Wan was ignoring himself.

The ship tried to handle the sudden burst of the Force. Tried to handle what couldn't be explained by either master on the ship, tried to handle its extreme hold on the ship that had slowed now below hyperspace. Tried to handle it, but couldn't. It failed.

And suddenly the ship was falling. Falling below the atmosphere of a planet that wasn't anywhere near where they were supposed to be. Falling toward Coruscant. Falling toward the Jedi temple, currently inhabited by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, discussing tactics for their next battle in the Clone Wars.
