Comments

[jedies]

[ obi-wan blinks, one eyebrow going up. ]

And hello to you too.

[facultative]

[He debates not saying anything and just walking out, but he gives up on that idea quickly as Anakin has never been one to let something go.]

Don't you have other things to do than watch me?

[jedies]

[ obi-wan gives him a placid look. ]

Well, if you want me to leave . . .

[facultative]

[For a brief moment he looks utterly stricken. It's quickly covered up by anger.]

Maybe you should.

[jedies]

[ uh-huh. ]

What's this all about, Anakin?

[facultative]

You should tell me.

[He's not the one keeping secrets this time.]

[jedies]

Tell you what, precisely?

[facultative]

Anything!

[Anakin wants to go over and shake him, except he doesn't have the restraint to not hit him so he stands there doing everything he can to not move.]

[jedies]

What is this about, Anakin?

[facultative]

Who is Jason, Obi-Wan?

[He doesn't have it in him to articulate what the problem actually is.]

[jedies]

[ ah, so that's what it is. ]

Jason is a boyfriend of mine, Anakin. Is that a problem?

[facultative]

Were you ever going to tell me?

[jedies]

If you were interested, yes. I just didn't think you cared all that much about my love life. It's not all that engaging.

How many details do you want? I'm not ashamed to be lurid.

[facultative]

[He'd been hoping it was something else, shame over breaking the code maybe. At least there'd be some sort of excuse even if he wouldn't have been happy about it. Anything other than Obi-Wan didn't find him important enough to tell.]

...why wouldn't I care? What did I do wrong this time?

[jedies]

[ obi-wan blinks, perplexed. ]

You didn't do anything wrong, Anakin. You know I've never cared much about sharing personal details like that. I prefer to keep that between my partners and no one else.

[facultative]

But-- [I thought I wasn't anyone.

Jason had claimed to not want to come between them, but it felt like Obi-Wan had done that for him.]

He already knew everything about me.

[jedies]

[ obi-wan doesn't quite grasp what the issue is here. of course anakin is important to him? anyone who meets obi-wan would know that. ]

Yes. Because you're more than that, Anakin.

[facultative]

Am I?

I guess I should be glad I don't think you're dead this time.

[Obi-Wan probably doesn't even remember what he's referring to. Anakin had thought his whole world had fallen apart and it hadn't been the same after.]

[jedies]

[ of course he remembers. his jaw tightens briefly. ]

That was a very different set of circumstances.

[facultative]

I know. Duty comes first.

And it wasn't something you even thought about here.

[jedies]

Helping people comes first. And that's what we thought we were accomplishing then.

[facultative]

And now?

[jedies]

And now I still believe in helping people. I simply don't have a Senate to answer to. Or a puppetmaster to pull the strings.

[facultative]

[He shakes his head.]

Not about that. You still lied to me.

Does Ezra know?

[jedies]

About what? Jason? No. As I said, I don't talk about it.
