Obi-Wan Kenobi Imagine *Family Ties*

"Best two out of three?" Obi-Wan asked smugly, holding out a hand to help you up off the ground. Once again he had struck you down, practically knocking the life out of you. You took a moment to catch your breath before accepting his helping hand, pulling him down beside you with all of your might. He collapsed beside you, chuckling. You turned to face him, smirking. "I guess I finally knocked you down." You said with a smile. He propped himself up with his hand, grinning. "I still win." He said cheekily, a smug smile on his lips. "You cheated." "No, you're just a sore loser, (Y/N)." You gave him a gentle nudge to the chest as you laughed, hearing his wonderful chuckle fill your ears. You smiled to yourself as you fiddled with his robes, your fingers tangling in the rough fabric. You could feel his eyes on you, causing your face to turn pink. For as long as you had been at the Jedi Temple, you and Obi-Wan were practically inseparable. You were as close as any two people could be; You could tell what the other was thinking without them saying a word. And though it was forbidden, you loved each other. "Come on," He said, standing up and brushing himself off, "We should get out of here." You two were soon off, walking along the corridor and simply enjoying each other's company. You gently tugged at his learner braid, making him chuckle. "What was that for?" "For cheating." You teased, smiling to yourself as you continued to walk the through the temple in silence, his hand gently reaching for yours. Your mind wandered off, thinking about the day that all of this began.

"(Y/N), the Jedi Code clearly states-" "-Oh, forget the Code for once!" You exclaimed, throwing your hands up in defeat. "Just blame it on us being young and careless! I'm not asking you to elope here!" He stepped closer to you, his voice becoming rather cautious, "I understand, (Y/N), but-" "I care about you, Obi-Wan..." Obi-Wan fell silent, almost as if he didn't know what to say. "I...I hold you in deep regard as well, (Y/N)." His voice was barely above a whisper, his cheeks dusted with pink. Taking hold of his hand, you gave him a sweet smile. Much to your surprise he gave your hand a gentle squeeze. "Then what's stopping us?"

That was the only persuasion he needed. And so, despite the Code, the two of you had begun your own little love affair. The both of you had fallen quickly and completely; It was all new and thrilling for the both of you, sharing glances across the room, holding hands underneath tables and such. You were utterly devoted to one another and as the days passed by you found it harder to hide your affections. At any moment you could be caught, but that made it all the more exciting. You were pulled out of your mind as Obi-Wan tugged at your hand, pulling you to the side where you were hidden behind one of the many large pillars that lined the corridor. He pulled you in to a tight embrace, much to your surprise. "(Y/N)," He mumbled into the crook of your neck, "I'm afraid I have to go away for a while." The words hit you like a bullet, your heart sinking in your chest. You tightened your hold on him, as if he would disappear in to thin air if you didn't. "Away? Why?" "Master Qui-Gon and I have a mission far away in another system," He said softly, "I have to go." He gently pressed his forehead to yours, taking your hands in his. You sighed, lowering your gaze. "I'll miss you." "I'll be back soon," He said, pressing a kiss to your knuckle, "I promise." "Obi-Wan?" Master Qui-Gon. "Damn." Obi-Wan hissed, hastily kissing your forehead. Your heart was pounding out of your chest. If Qui-Gon caught you two...."You'll be back safe, that's all that matters." You enveloped him in a tight hug, which he hesitantly returned in the presence of Qui-Gon Jinn. However, his arms were tight around your small frame, almost as if he didn't want to let go. You loved the feeling of being the only thing he wanted in a world where he couldn't want anything, but all too soon he pulled away in order to avoid suspicion. "Obi-Wan Kenobi!" Obi-Wan stepped out of our shadowy hiding place, clearing his throat. "Master Qui-Gon-" "-Ah, there you are!" You prayed that you were invisible behind the pillar, listening intently. "We are ready for departure. Come along, we mustn't dawdle." You let out a sigh of relief as the pair began their walk to the platform, when Qui-Gon chuckled. "Goodbye, (Y/N). We'll send you a postcard." Your eyes widened, face heating up. Shit.

You couldn't seem to concentrate on your training this morning. Your mind was scattered all over the place and yet the only thing it seemed to focus on was Obi-Wan. You missed him terribly, and your training was suffering because of it. Years worth of technique seemed to have vanished from your brain and you had been defeated three times in a row by your sparring partner, whom you had been previously undefeated against. It was almost as if you had even forgotten how to hold your own lightsaber. Master Yoda sensed this disturbance and pulled you aside, concern and worry prevalent on his face. "Distracted you are," He said, studying your blank face, "Something bothering you, is there?" You shrugged, wrapping your arms around yourself defensively. Although you knew it would be best to confide in your mentor, you couldn't bring yourself to say a word. Yoda, however, raised an eyebrow. "Hm," He began, "Missing Obi-Wan you are." Your wide eyes snapped to him as he said this, confirming his suspicion. You felt your face grow warm as you thought of a way to explain yourself when the sound of jets interrupted your thoughts. You looked out the window and your eyes widened upon seeing the ship that Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon Jinn had departed in. Your heart immediately lifted upon seeing the space craft heading towards the landing station, a grin stretching from ear to ear. Obi-Wan. Yoda followed your gaze, a chuckle rising from him upon seeing the object of your fascination. "Go on," He mused, "Done for the day your training is." Though it was often frowned upon, you couldn't help but tackle your master in a tight hug as he dismissed you from your training, exclaiming your thanks over and over again. Exhilaration flooded your senses as you ran through the temple, pushing past Padawans and Masters alike to get to the ship. It was almost as if your feet couldn't carry you fast enough. After weeks of waiting, he was finally home. You finally reached the landing bay, out of breath and heart thumping so hard you thought it was going to burst out of your chest. The ship finally opened and there he was, looking somewhat relieved to be home. You couldn't take it any longer; If you waited another minute you thought you would die of impatience. "Obi-Wan!" You exclaimed, a large grin spreading across your face as you ran to him, throwing your arms around him tightly. "(Y/N)!" He chuckled as he lifted you off the ground, giving you a small spin before setting you down. "I've missed you so much, (Y/N)." He gently kissed your forehead like he had before he left, and you were eager to hear all about his travels. Suddenly, you felt something tug at your pant leg. You turned to see what-or who-was pulling at you, only to see a young boy looking up at you with wide eyes. You furrowed you eyebrows in confusion, when the little boy spoke up. "Hey, Obi-Wan," He began, "Who's this?" Obi-Wan cleared his throat, giving you a small smile that said 'sorry...' He bent down to the child's level, taking him by the shoulders. "This is (Y/N)," He explained, "She's a Jedi in training like myself."  You smiled at the small shrimp of a boy before you and he smiled back brightly.  "(Y/N), this is a new Padawan from Tatooine." "Well hello there!" You said, holding out a hand for the child to shake. "What's your name?" "Anakin, though most people call me Ani." He accepted your hand and eagerly shook it, and you tried your hardest not to giggle like a fool. He was adorable..."Well, Ani, welcome to Coruscant. Would you like to have a look around?" He nodded and you grinned, "Hop on, then." The little boy climbed up on to your back, holding on tightly as the three of you began to make your way through the temple, easily conversing with the nine year old. "Gee, I like her, Obi-Wan!" You stuck your tongue out teasingly at Obi-Wan when Ani wasn't looking, as if to triumphantly say 'he likes me better'. Obi-Wan merely chuckled, ruffling the boy's hair. "I like her too, Ani." "Are you guys going to be my new mom and dad?" Anakin asked, looking down at his shoes bashfully. You blinked in surprise, seeing Obi-Wan's face turn pink. Didn't Obi-Wan explain what it meant to be a Padawan? "In a way, Ani, we will be like your family. But we are here to teach you the ways of the Force and help you become a powerful Jedi master-" "-Obi Wan," Qui-Gon Jinn interrupted, a smug smile on his face, "Master Yoda has requested your presence." Where the heck did Qui-Gon come from? Had he been here the whole time? Obi-Wan immediately stiffened his posture and raised his head up high, nodding. "Of course, Master Qui-Gon." As Obi-Wan began to leave you knelt down to so Anakin could climb off, taking the young boy's hand in yours. "What would you like to do first, Ani? We could explore the temple, or I could show you the-" "-(Y/N)," Qui-Gon called, making your eyes widen, "You are wanted as well. I will watch the boy." Damn it, Qui-Gon! You stood up slowly, smoothing your robes as you desperately tried to regain your composure. You gave Anakin a small smile, despite feeling as if your heart was in your throat. "I'll be right back Ani, okay?" Had Yoda found out that you had broken the Jedi Code? What would be your punishment for such a crime? Is that what Master Qui-Gon was so smug about? You made your way down the corridor, mind whirring with excuses and ways to get out of the situation. What if you were thrown out of the temple? Panic began to settle in your stomach as the thought of being stripped of your home gnawed away at your brain, heart thumping against your chest. As you entered the Council room you spotted Obi-Wan, who appeared to be rather calm under the given circumstances. You took your spot next to him, bowing in respect to your master. Yoda leaned back in his chair, an amused look on his face. "Ah, speak with you two I must."

"What?!" You and Obi-Wan exclaimed, eyes wide as saucers. "To be your Padawan, young Anakin is," Yoda explained slowly, a proud grin spreading across his leathery face. "Raise him together you will." "Raise him?" You repeated, still trying to wrap your head around the matter, "Obi-Wan and I are going to raise and train Anakin?" You couldn't fight the grin on your lips, feeling as if you were going to boil over with absolute delight. This was so much better than being thrown out of the temple! All of your fear melted away into sheer excitement as he announced that Anakin was now your shared Padawan. You felt as if someone had heard your heart's cry for a family, and you were being granted your wish. When you became a Jedi, you knew you were signing away any chance for a normal family, but you couldn't help but feel like Yoda was offering you the chance to have not only a Padawan, but a son. You grabbed Obi-Wan's hand in a bone crushing embrace, hearing him chuckle. Yoda noticed this, his smile growing wide. You dropped his hand out of embarrassment, realizing it probably wasn't the safest option at the moment. "Watched you both, Master Qui-Gon and I have," he said with a chuckle, "Care for each other very much you do. Perfect to raise Anakin you are. Wonderful trainers and parents you will be." "Parents?" Obi-Wan repeated, "But Master Yoda, neither of us are Jedi Masters. Besides, aren't we a little bit too young to raise a boy like Anakin?" Yoda gently took Obi-Wan's hand and your own, bringing them together once again as a small smile pulled on his lips. "Approve of this union I do. Special permission the Jedi Council has given you. Provide a normal childhood for Anakin, you two must." Obi-Wan blinked, a grin spreading from ear to ear. "Master Yoda, do you mean that (Y/N) and I have permission to..?" "Fall in love?" Yoda chuckled, "Indeed." This made you laugh out loud, giving Obi-Wan the biggest grin of your life. Bashfully, he wrapped an arm around your shoulders as he gave you a loving kiss on the top of your head. "Thank you so much, Master Yoda!" You and Obi-Wan were to raise Anakin together in order to insure a "normal childhood"....but in your minds, it was your own little family.
