The jedi council had made the decision to give Anakin and Obi-wan a break simply because they were tired of holding the leash of obi-wan as he was dragged along by anakin's leash. Crazy adventures, unplanned ambushes, to say they were trouble was an understatement. The head injuries they endured were sly excuses to have them sent off. But now, they had been there for what seemed like forever. Mace had a great distrust with Anakin. But there was a darker hatred, of wishes for whips and poison to "unfortunately" conquer the so-called chosen one. Mace was enraged at this point, and without a second thought, ushered through the dark halls to the command center. Empty. He sent his squadron to "weaken the rouge Jedi", to finally restore his place. To have all eyes on him. To be the hero. Even if it meant defying all his own rules.

Obi-wan thoughtfully made a cup of tea, stirring the bag around the rim of the cup as if trying to entrance himself. Anakin was in the shower, the steam clearing the air. The first month was over. But once they got back to the Temple, what would they do? How will they be able to be together? Then- a thought so reckless, so extreme, what if they ran away together? Faked their own death? The force is with you regaurdless if you live in the Temple, and if they ran away, they would take their lightsabers with them...
The shower stopped. After a couple of seconds Anakin emerged, hair still wet with a towel on.
" You want to run away too.." Anakin placed a hand on Obi-Wan's cheek.
"You... felt that?"
"No, you still think out loud."
They both laughed softly. Something washed over Anakin, a presence like whips of fire, stinging his thoughts of traumas once long forgotten. He leaned against the coffee table, clutching his forehead.
"Anakin! Are you alright? Stars, you're burning up! You must be a bit anemic from the hot shower..."
Obi wan rushed to grab some ice. As soon as he had put it into a small plastic bag, he heard a loud thud. Turning around-
His whole world collapsed in front of him.
