The Other Padawan

by Khoshekh42

When Obi-Wan and his Padawan Anakin find themselves back in time, Obi-Wan finds his younger self and Qui-Gon, and he must come to terms that his younger self develops a crush on Anakin. Updated every weekday. Short chapters.

55. Chapter 55

Obi-Wan was panicking. He thought he was going to die. Except instead he was here, on Coruscant, with yet another version of himself apparently. Now that he was near the Jedi temple, he was panicking, somehow convinced that everyone would find out about him and Anakin. That his older self would find out about him and Anakin. And then tell Qui-Gon. In every scenario that he played out in his head, somehow Qui-Gon ended up finding out about Anakin and he's relationship and telling Yoda, Yoda and Mace Windu would yell at him, and then he'd get kicked out of the Jedi order.

He could barely breathe. Part of him wanted to just tell Anakin that they couldn't be together, period. Even though Anakin was 'leaving' (Which Obi-Wan was becoming more and more convinced that it wasn't possible to go to any specific point in time purposefully).

But another part of him wanted to grab Anakin's hand, and just run. Run away from the Jedi order. Run away from the Jedi code. Run away from a life where he couldn't spend it loving Anakin.

Instead, he sat there quietly, with tears running down his face.
