"surprise i have feelings and you just hurt them" is so good
Thank you anon-dearest! š„°š„°š„°
As I was given free reign, and also was too unreasonable for self controlāI didn't only write it way longer than it should have been (250w per prompt LOL) I also fully rewritten in afterwards :')
Obikin || 1,500w || Obi-Wan & Anakin formed a new Force Bond and Obi-Wan has to deal with an increase in Force Migraines poor man
ā¾ā¾ā¾
āSurprise, I have feelings and you just hurt them.āĀ Anakin spits the words out angrily, punctuating each word with a sharp hand gesture.
Thereās heat rolling off of him in waves, itās a tangible thing in the Force to anyone who is even mildly attuned to it. Even small living organisms would try and stir clear from someone so prominent in the force while theyāre emitting such waves of emotions. Itās unsettling to all who is untrained, unable to recognize where and why the thing they are sensing is coming from. To someone who had even just begun their training, this would be a deafening roar. As for Obi-Wan, who had happened to share a somewhat-training-but-not-bond with said individualā¦. Itās destructively overwhelming.
Thereās a pulsing migraine building up at Obi-Wanās temples, swiftly spreading in pulses of pain through his forehead and head, blearing his vision in a way that is usually reserved to extreme battle fatigue. Obi-Wanās patience is not only thinned out, but fully gone by this point. The pain, and the previously failed mission do not help. Anakinās need to prove himself had cost them an important battle and speaking of Anakinās feelings is truly not the thing they should be concerned most withā
āI think itās hardly a surprise Anakinā he hears himself say more than he actually thinks through the words, he hardly manages to care as much as he probably should given how violate Anakin anyways is. āYou are, more than less, hammering them against the minds of anyone unfortunate enough to be within the standard hour distance from us.ā
Anakinās mouth snaps open, thereās blotchy redness across his cheeks, he seems to not find the words to describe precisely how angry Obi-Wanās word just made him. Silencing Anakin would be a feat to be commended on a normal day, if only that was true for his Force Signature as well. A fresh wave of emotions crush against his battered shields, straining them beyond their capacity.
The moment he feels the first crack run through, is the same moment they collapse completely.
Anger, hurt, betrayal, andā¦
Obi-Wanās mind is momentarily blinded by the whirlpool of emotions washing over and sucking his own mind in. Thereās too much of it, all at once, all different. The indignant anger, the vulnerable hurt, the deep sense of being abandoned and uncared for, theā
Obi-Wan whimpers silently. Itās a sharp exhale more than anything, yet itās more than enough to alert Anakin. He might have found it endearing, how quickly Anakinās attention had shifted from himself to him, if not for the crushing wave of new emotions, even more absolute in their intensity.
Worry, anxiety, fear, anger, confusion, fear, worryā
Obi-Wan feels like he might lose his mind within them.
āStop,ā he snaps at same time as Anakin had reached out for him. The boy pulls his hand away as if hit. Obi-Wan should care for this, care for how he feels more than how he himself feels at the momentā¦.
Hurt, confusion, anger, hurtā anxiety, fearāĀ fearā
Anakinās emotions spiral into a deeper, more violent vortex of darkness, a never ending cycle, one emotion swallowing the tail of its predecessor, being reborn into the next one, each time bigger, stronger.
Oh Force.Ā Obi-Wan thinks in desperation.This is too much.
āMaster?ā Anakinās Force Signature is dripping fear, thereās an urgency to it that centers Obi-Wan enough to realize, with great shame, that his own pain started bleeding through their not-quite-training-bondā orā¦Force Bond, if he was honest enough. Call a Bantha a Bantha.
āMaster, what is wrong, why are youā¦?ā he reaches for him again, stopping quickly and retrieving his hand away. Anakin opening and closing his fist draws Obi-Wanās attention. He looks like heās about to blow up, and that, Obi-Wan knows, is something that would certainly echo even louder in the Force.
āAnakin please,ā he reaches out to him, despite the inherent risk of touch increasing the intensity of the Bond. He must balance the boy long enough to give himself the opportunity to gather his shields into anything resembling those of a Jedi Master. That, or leave. He is not pained enough to be that cruel. Doesnāt ever plan to be. He braces himself instead.
āDear One,ā his knuckles touch Anakinās cheek briefly, the word of endearment is strained, forced to some degree. Itās the one that never fails to get a reaction, uncover a meeker, more gentle side of Anakin.Ā āYou are deafening meā he gives the Bond a light, barely there nudge.
Anakin jumps at that as if zapped. Eyes wide, his face shifts through a number of complex thoughts, faster than what could register or broadcast emotionally through the Bond.
Suddenly, the storm is gone. What Anakin calls shields and Obi-Wan chides as only a suggestion of such is now a durasteel tight and not leaking anywhere. The silence that follows is deafening in its own right. He has to muffle the groan of relief, not wanting to rile Anakin again
āThank you.ā Obi-Wan smiles, pained. He knows that the migraine will only worsen now that it was set off, he still can appreciate not being radiated by a small sun through it, though.
āExcellent shielding, Padawan.ā He sounds sarcastic even to his ears, even though he doesnāt mean to be. Anakin doesnāt react to it, looking more troubled than angry now, a deep crease between his eyebrows.
āIāmā¦ā Anakin bite his lower lip, still fuller than most despite him well and truly out of his teenage years. Obi-Wan should not be noticing those things. āI didnāt mean toā¦ā his cheeks are darker now, he looks ashamed. The aftertaste of Anakinās emotionās linger in Obi-Wanās mind. Guilt. The last clear emotion Obi-Wan managed to decipher. Guilt for hurting him.
āI know.ā Obi-Wan says curtly, he hopes that not unkindly. āIād appreciate it if we could discuss the matter when Iām a little lessā¦ā he gestures at himself with what he hopes is the appropriate amount of self deprecation. Thereās many reasons for Anakinās lack of control, not all are good, but he still is a knight, still is learning.
Thereās not a single good excuse for his own lack of mastery of himself.
āObi-Wan, the Bondāā Anakin starts, disregarding Obi-Wanās request in favor of what to his mind, is no bound far more urgent. The Bond. It had taken months for Obi-Wan to notice, the budding start of something new, growing in a different place than the long severed training Bond, developing over the months spent on joint missions on this endless war.
It seems that, as Obi-Wan had suspected, Anakin had managed to miss it out entirely.
āNot now, Anakin.ā Obi-Wanās voice sharpens, he should feel more guilt for the way Anakinās shoulders jump up and tense.
āFine, whateverā¦ā Anakin mutters, looking away, glancing back and then away again. āFeel better.ā He says with more hesitation than such a simple wish should warrant for. This time, Obi-Wan feels the full extent of guilt. He was too strict with him, those past few months were strained beyond what either one of them had wanted. He needs to speak with him, properly, make amends,Ā properly.
Not now though, not while his head is splitting into two and his Force Signature is shaking after Anakin ground it so relentlessly. Knowing that Anakin didnāt mean to, doesnāt change the reality of things, his Force Signature can be downright oppressive if left unchecked. Itās not so felt when he himself is in the state for proper shields, however the repeated missions, the lack of sleep and the loss of the recent planetā¦ were factors that are hard to ignore.
He needs to rest. He needs to meditate.Ā Then heāll be fine.
Obi-Wan refuses to acknowledge, even now, that what would bring the most immediate relief would be severing the Bond. Today showcased just how dangerous it is, how out of control it is, how out of Obi-Wanās control it is. It all makes sense, any one following logic would have done it. A bond developed without their conscious choice in the matter, one that is not appreciate for Jedi to have.
The only thing that makes sense, is to end it. Yet this is the only thing that Obi-Wan will not do, is unwilling to do. He will not severe another Bond with Anakin. The consequences of the first time still too fresh in his own mind. Both for their relationship andā¦himself.
āThank you, Anakin.ā he says politely, hoping that he looks more collected than what he feels like. He refuses to think of this further for today. Giving Anakin the barest of hand waves, he turns and walks off.
He needs to rest. He needs to meditate. Then, heāll be fineā¦
