no actual sex occurs.
Summary: Obi-Wan's restlessness is getting to
Qui-Gon.
Notes: This is what happens when I
can't bear to write any more angst and I've been popping M&Ms in an effort
to stay awake. Fortunately, the two things rarely occur together.
"Have sex with your padawan, you
should."
Qui-Gon nearly tripped. "What?"
Master Yoda stopped, turning to look up at him.
"Heard me, you did."
"I just could not believe you would
suggest such a thing. He's a boy."
"Turn seventeen tomorrow he does. Of
age he will be."
"Barely. But his chronological age
isn't the point and you know it. He'll still be my padawan."
"Very responsible, he is."
"Yes, but it is my job to teach him."
"My point, that was."
"Teach him to be a Jedi."
"Restless, he is. Needs grounding, he
does."
"Restless energy can be worked off with
activities other than sex."
"Yes."
Qui-Gon breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps his
master was agreeing with him for once.
"But provide grounding lightsaber practice
does not."
"And sex does?"
"Sometimes, yes."
Qui-Gon sighed. "I'm sure there is
someone among Obi-Wan's peers who can ground him, Master."
"When were you last on Coruscant?"
"Ten months ago." Qui-Gon
grumbled, knowing exactly where his master was heading with this.
"When do you leave again?"
"Two days."
"When will you be back?"
"I don't know."
"Have time with his peers Obi-Wan does not.
Need closeness, he does. Need intimacy. Only person who can
provide it, you are."
"I'll think about it, Master." He said,
more to appease his master than because he really intended to consider the
idea.
"Don't think, Qui-Gon, act."
Qui-Gon watched his padawan pace. It was
only their third day aboard the transport and already Obi-Wan's restlessness
was making him crazy. "Will you sit down, Padawan?"
"Yes, Master." Obi-Wan dropped
gracefully to the floor and sat.
Qui-Gon smiled his approval and returned his
attention to the datapad in his hand. He could almost feel Obi-Wan
twitching. He looked at his apprentice; the young man wasn't
moving, but the control required to keep still was evident in every muscle.
"Why don't you read something?"
"I finished my lessons for today."
"For pleasure, Obi-Wan. Why don't you
read something for pleasure?"
"I'll try."
Obi-Wan retrieved his datapad and settled back on
the floor. Qui-Gon watched him for a moment before returning his
attention to his own reading.
He was moving his lips. Qui-Gon tossed aside
his own datapad. "Padawan."
"Yes, Master?"
"Would you like to have sex?"
"Ummm, yes, someday." Obi-Wan
stammered, surprised.
"I meant now, with me."
"What?" Now he was shocked.
"Would you like to have sex with me?"
"I heard you. I just can't
believe..."
"I didn't think you would."
Qui-Gon picked up his datapad and resumed reading.
Obi-Wan resumed reading as well and they sat in
silence for several minutes. "I can't believe you would ask me like
that, just 'would you like to have sex,' completely out of nowhere."
The master lowered his datapad, gazing at his
apprentice. "How should I have asked you?"
"Not like that. I may be male and an
adolescent but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like a little romance."
"Romance? As in candlelight and soft
music?"
"Nothing that elaborate. But would it
have been to much of a bother to sit next to me, maybe touch my cheek,
and tell me you care for me and find me desirable?"
"You are right, Obi-Wan. I'll do a
better job of asking next time."
"Thank you." Obi-Wan resumed
reading, his master did likewise. Several more minutes passed.
"Master."
"Yes, Padawan?"
"Why did you ask me to have sex with
you?"
"Yoda told me to." Qui-Gon
continued his reading.
"What?"
The outrage in his apprentice's voice caught
his attention and Qui-Gon looked over at him. "Master Yoda
suggested that I should consider having sex with you."
"Why?" Obi-Wan's voice sounded
constricted, almost strangled.
"He thinks you are too restless."
"I see. Master Yoda thinks I'm restless
and that you should have sex with me in order to cure this
problem?" Obi-Wan's voice was dripping with sarcasm now and Qui-Gon
was becoming concerned. Sarcasm was frequently a sign of anger and every
Jedi knows where anger leads.
"Basically." Qui-Gon kept his own
voice calm, almost nonchalant. He had no wish to escalate the
sudden conflict.
More strangling noises were coming from his apprentice's
throat. "I. Cannot. Believe. You."
"Padawan." Qui-Gon put a hint of
warning into his tone.
"You ask me to have sex for no more reason
than because the little green troll told you to."
"Master Yoda is not a troll."
"What species is he?"
"I don't know. No one does, except
Master Yaddle."
"Until he tells us his species I choose to
refer to him as a troll."
"Obi-Wan, you are being petulant."
"You ask me to have sex because the troll
tells you to and you wonder why I'm petulant?"
"I didn't wonder why you were being petulant.
I simply observed that you were being petulant."
"And you are being annoying."
"Padawan!"
"Master!" Obi-Wan answered.
"If this is the reward I get for asking you
to have sex with me, I won't be doing it again."
"Good."
"What do you mean good?"
"Just that, good."
"Are you saying you don't want to have sex
with me?"
"I don't want to have sex with anyone who
does it only when his former master tells him to."
"I do not have sex only when Master Yoda
tells me to."
"If you say so."
"I do." Qui-Gon picked up his
datapad, read the same paragraph three times. "If Master Yoda
hadn't told me to have sex with you, would you want to have sex with me
then?"
Obi-Wan didn't look up from his datapad.
"Maybe."
"Maybe?"
"It would depend on how you asked."
"Oh." A pause. "So you
do find me desirable."
"I never said I didn't." Obi-Wan
continued to look at his datapad.
"I find you desirable, Padawan."
"Do you?"
"Very."
"That's nice."
"Nice? You think my desire for you is
nice?"
Obi-Wan looked up at him, exasperated.
"Fine. I am wildly flattered that a man as handsome, virile, and incredibly
sexy as yourself would desire me."
"You are?"
"Who is the seducer here?"
"I am, I believe," Qui-Gon answered.
"You're the one who should be giving the
compliments, then."
"I did compliment you. I told you I
find you desirable."
"Fine. You complimented me."
Obi-Wan resumed reading.
"You have a very fine ass."
"What?
"You have a very fine ass, Padawan."
"You call that a compliment?!"
"Well, yes. After all I told you
something I find attractive."
"Has that line ever worked for you
before?"
"I've never used it before."
"Good thing." Obi-Wan thought for
a moment. "Master, have you ever actually had sex?"
"Ummm, well, no."
"Why not?"
"I, uhh..."
"Let me guess. Master Yoda never told
you to before."
Qui-Gon flushed.
"I don't believe you. You disobey the
Council all of the time, but you can't have sex unless the troll tells you
to."
"I don't see why you're complaining.
After all he told me to have sex with you."
Obi-Wan's expression turned thoughtful.
"So he did, Master. So he did."
They both resumed their reading.
"Master, have I ever told you that your eyes
are the most remarkable shade of blue?"
