Chapter 2- Trials

Warning- talk of menstruation
Written by Sam

He woke up with a groan, pain in his stomach made him writhe, and his spiking temperature made his usually comfortable bed a tangled mess of sweat.
"Kriff. Today of all days?"
The teenage boy rolled out of bed, flicked on the shower and waited until the water was steaming. Stepping inside, after taking his pyjamas off of course, he closed his eyes tightly, if he couldn't see his body and his scars, then he could pretend they weren't there. Some of the scars were from battles he and Obi-Wan had fought, he was proud of those, but the ones on his remaining arm made him feel wretched.
Allowing the water and the force to wash away those feelings, he dried himself off and got dressed, binder, underwear, pad, packer. 'It's a good thing I don't let Obi-Wan look through my drawers, these would be hard to explain.' Chuckling at the thought of his master seeing the packer made him feel better, as did the sound of caf being brewed.

Entering their shared living room, Anakin saw Obi-Wan sat on a call to his friend Satine. The Jedi were allowed to live and love freely, but Obi-Wan was still too chicken to ask her out, in Anakin's opinion.
"That's Anakin, gotta go, his trials begin today."
"Wish him good luck from me Obi"
"Will do, bye Tinie"
"Bye!"

His master turned to see anakin in the doorway sipping his drink, smirking.
"I assume you heard that?" Obi-Wan enquired, blushing furiously.

"I did, Obi, so, when you gonna take her on a date?"

Obi-Wan just sighed, buried his face in his hands and mumbled something Anakin could only think was 'when you pass your written exams'. Deciding today would be a day of ridicule for his master, Anakin just flicked his robes over his head using the force. Laughing hard, a sharp pain hit his stomach, and he was reminded of why he woke up so early, quickly dropping his mood. Obi-Wan sensed this, he knew everything about his padawan, he made an effort to learn all he could about being trans, and that made Anakin feel good. His master simply came over to him and gave him a hug,
"You know you don't have to do the trials today if it's easier. Master Yoda would be completely understanding if you feel too unwell."
"Thank you master, but I think a trip to the healing chambers to get some pain relief is all I need." Anakin was glad Obi-Wan was his master, he was kind and honest and was always there for him, and clearly nothing would change that. As he made his way to the couch, he groaned again, uttering a string of huttese curse words that would make Jabba himself blush. Soon he was curled up, clutching his stomach as tightly as he could, and beginning to levitate objects around him.

He could tell Anakin was in pain, he didn't have the heart to scold him for cursing so profusely. After returning from his room to grab his lightsaber, he saw half of the furniture floating, and felt a great wave of anger and frustration come towards him, radiating from his apprentice. Fighting the force Anakin's emotions created, he put his arm on the boy, comforting him, reassuring him that he was okay, and that he was loved. Whilst Anakin just buried himself in the seat, Obi-Wan called for a medical droid to come. He hated seeing his brother in so much agony, and he knew he wasn't fit to do the work required of the trails in this state.

Soon the droid knocked on the door with a metallic clang, and administered a sedative that put the younger man to sleep. The droid gave Obi-Wan a few extra doses in case this happened again, and some pain relievers to give to Anakin if he woke up. As the droid left, the master contacted the council and Master Yoda, informing them of the boy's state.
"Masters, I do apologise, but my padawan will be unable to attend his trials today, and I will have to look after him. I will still be reachable via com, but I do intend to watch over him, he managed to levitate half the furniture in the room whilst trying to repress his feelings. I do not think it is wise for him to be tested until he is feeling well again."

"Agree, I do. The boy is in much pain, rest, he must." Yoda was calm, he knew that the traditional trials were not meant for Skywalker, though he did not share these thoughts with Obi-Wan, not wanting to interfere with the will of the force. Obi-Wan ended the call, and looked back at his friend, he was going to lay him in bed, but noticed that the sheets required changing, this lead him to leaving Anakin on the couch, simply draping a blanket over him. As he sat down on the chair opposite, opening his holo-book, he could tell Anakin was dreaming vividly, he only hoped it was positive.
