"LET ME CHECK YOUR WOUND," OBI-WAN stated finally breaking the silence. with a small grunt nova moved off the wall to allow obi-wan to peel off the bit of blood-soaked fabric of the blast wound. she hissed slightly when she felt his fingers gently touch the skin surrounding the wound. "that needs to get treated before any infections happen," he spoke out loud but sound more like he was telling himself that rather than nova. with a grunt she grabbed her knife once again and ripped her shirt on the other side, handing the black fabric over to obi-wan.with a quiet thanks, obi-wan began to wrap her wound. she lifted her arm up just enough so obi-wan could wrap the fabric under her arm pit and over the wound a few times. his warm hands comforted the injured nova who was now shaking lightly from the pain. he made quick work of dressing the wound, and the pressure from the fabric gave her a small sense of relief, once he was finished she just about collapsed into his arms. "thanks, i'm usually quite good at handling pain," she muttered tiredly. obi-wan held her to his side, his heart racing as she continued to mumble.
"well you've not been shot at for while darling," obi-wan reminded her, causing a small smile to appear on her face. "my life has been quite quiet since i stopped bounty hunting," she agreed with him, "especially not having you around," turning her head to face obi-wan. he met her gaze, looking deep into her brown eyes, both of them refusing to break away. they stayed silent for a few minutes, nova noticed his eyes look down for quick second to her lips.
their faces inched closer and closer until obi-wan could feel the light fan of nova's breath against his face. finally obi-wan gave up waiting, he placed a hand gently on her face the pad of his thumb rubbed against her cheek. with a thoughtful smile, he pressed his lips gently on hers. nova immediately sank into the kiss not thinking twice about the consequences, her eyes fluttered shut and ran a hand through his hair.
nova pressed against obi-wan a bit harder that he anticipated but returned the pressure. she moved round so her head wasn't in an awkward position. the kiss lasted a few more seconds until obi-wan broke it off, nova leaned her forehead against his her eyes still shut, the pain in her shoulder being forgotten about.
only their breathing filled the silence, both of them too scared to speak now. "i should've done that a long time ago," the jedi murmured regretfully, his hand still caressing her face. nova shook her head no, "you were still a padawan, it would have been even more risky for you," she reasoned with him, her volume matching obi-wan's. their situation they were in was completely forgotten about, the only thing that nova could focus on was the jedi she was currently leaning against. the jedi who she had became infatuated with for the past ten years despite him having left to train anakin.
nova moved so her back was flat against the wall once again, their shoulder's pressed against one another. she slowly grabbed obi-wan's hand, grasping it tightly afraid if she let go he would leave her in the cell all alone. his calloused hand gave her smaller hand a small squeeze in comfort as they waited for whatever was coming next.

nova and obi-wan ended up chained to two out of the four large pillars in the middle of the sandy stadium which was filled with geonosians cheering loudly. she looked around, her arms straining from being held up for the long period of time she had been waiting with obi-wan. the cheers became louder, causing nova to look over to see a chariot get closer and closer to the pillars. it was hard to tell who it was that was joining them but it became more clearer as they moved.
anakin and padmé's faces came into view causing nova to stifle her laughter knowing obi-wan's reaction would not be a happy one. they watched the pair get chained up to the other two pillars, "i was beginning to wonder if you got my message." obi-wan spoke to anakin, a disapproving expression still on his face. " i retransmitted it just as you requested master, then we decided to come and rescue you two," anakin explained to them, nova rolled her eyes at the young padawan's words. obi-wan glanced up at the chains connected to the burnt orange pillar, "good job." he remarked sarcastically.
the ex-bounty hunter leaned back against her pillar, feeling her wound begin to seep again through the piece of fabric, while someone spoke from the podium above the stadium. she looked down the line, giving padmé a reassuring smile while the waited for whatever was about to be thrown at them. the three gates suddenly opened revealing a very large, very angry reek stomping out, guided by geonosians. followed by a screeching acklay and nexu. "this will be interesting," nova spoke loudly enough for obi-wan to hear then anakin spoke up, "i've got a bad feeling about this,"
each creature targeted one of them, the acklay moved towards obi-wan quickly which gave nova enough time to retrieve her dagger from her boot. she grasped the chain tightly, climbing up the side of the pillar so her hands and feet were level. using all of her strength she quickly grabbed the handle of her dagger before sliding back down her feet hitting the ground roughly. with a grunt she whipped her head up to see the green acklay coming straight towards her. with a huge amount of force, one of its pincers hit just above her head, a few pieces of stone crumbling down on her.
obi-wan came into view while she continued to dodge the attacks from the large creature, she threw her knife over to the jedi. finally the acklay hit her chains freeing her from the pillar, she sprinted out the way and over to obi-wan. she turned around to see anakin being dragged on the ground by the reek and padmé fighting off the nexu with ease.
obi-wan handed back her dagger, and grabbed a spear off on of the guards in the process throwing him to the ground. they backed up together, nova carefully aiming before throwing her dagger watching it land in its eye. it let out a pained screech before obi-wan threw the spear at the creature as well. they watched carefully for the acklay's next move while it screeched loudly. it grabbed the spear from it chest, snapping it in half with its mouth with ease.
obi-wan grabbed nova's hand tightly, dragging her away from the angered acklay. thankfully anakin came round quickly riding the reek with padmé. the jedi wrapped an arm around nova's waisted before jumping up into to the reek and moving away quickly from the acklay.
the group arrived into the middle of the stadium only to be surrounded by battle droids. they waited anxiously, nova's hand discreetly reached behind and laced her fingers with obi-wan's. suddenly the geonosian stadium lit up with green and blue lightsabers, the brunette let out a sigh of relief and squeezed obi-wan's hand tightly.
the battle was just beginning however.
