The Makings Of Greatness | Obi-Wan Kenobi

Anakin!

Vale's P.O.V.

"She agreed to allow me to sleep beside her tonight."

"Agreed?" Obi-Wan teases while tilting his head. "More like invited you."

"Is that jealousy I hear?"

I mumble, cracking a smile up at Kenobi while taking off my jacket. He steps toward me with an amused smile as I move to take off my boots. My eyes dart to his long, light brown hair before resting on his blue eyes.

His muscles frame his attire in a way my body could never wearing Jedi attire. His shoulders stand out, his chest is flat against the fabric, and the Jedi pants cling to his thighs. If I wore the same thing, I'd look like a child playing Jedi dress up.

Somehow, his looks get better with time, and every time it's good differently. I've always thought of him as an attractive boy when we were Padawans. Then, when he started growing his hair and beard out, he looked like a dashing young man.

When his hair reached his shoulders and his beard grew thick, I saw him as a handsome man. I know he's seen me admiring it and secretly loves catching me. I've noticed a sense a pride in him when noticing my getting flustered at his appeal.

"Perhaps..." Obi-Wan whispers while tugging on my belt and pointing out. "It's been some time since you slept in my bed, darling."

"A week, Kenobi. Regardless, I'll make up for it after this mission." I speak up as he walks me to stand in front of him. My eyes roam down him before meeting his gaze again and asking in an innocent voice. "Do you mind taking my belt off for me? It's not very comfortable to sleep in."

"Shall I take off your pants while I'm at it?"

Obi-Wan jokes while undoing my belt for me slowly. He keeps his eyes straight on mine as slips my belt off my waist. We're in the living room and the sun has just set for the night.

Anakin's setting up Padme's room for intruders as Obi-Wan and I speak. I plan to sleep in these close so in case anything happens, I can be on the go as quickly as I can. Lifting my belt in front of us, showing his work, Obi-Wan tosses it on top of my leather jacket.

"Try to be a light sleeper tonight." Obi-Wan proposes while pushing my hair behind my ear. "If someone comes tonight, I need you to be hot on your toes."

"I'll awake up just like I do when I hear you come in my room in the middle of the night."

I assure him with a smirk, making him roll his eyes and pull at one of my belt loops. I let out a sigh and run my fingers through his hair, sensing him enjoying the small action of comfort. Resting my hands on him and tapping my fingers on his solid chest, I whisper knowingly in a gentle voice.

"You and Anakin take shifts tonight. I don't want to hear how Anakin slept through the night while you haven't got an ounce of sleep again."

"I'll try, but no late night girl conversations."

"Yes, dad."

I tease while fixing his shirt and leaning up on my tiptoes to kiss the corner of his lips. Letting go of him, I wink and turn around to head to Padme's room. Anakin should be done by now and Padme should be asleep.

Feeling eyes burning my back, I glance behind me as I walk. Obi-Wan's watching me leave with his arms folded. Biting my bottom lips, I shake my head and head into the hallway.

It's almost been five years since we've allowed ourselves the pleasure of each other. Not once have we've said I love you or plans of being together long term. Somehow, though, I know there's love and a future between us.
