#They're now tied intrinsically together. Maybe they have been since the first time they met

WIP Wednesday: Sabers & Soulmates AU

When Obi-Wan is twenty-seven, he touches Anakin's lightsaber for the first time. His Padawan is twelve, having just returned from Ilum with his very first saber, and he holds it out to Obi-Wan with a broad smile, clearly looking for approval.

Obi-Wan has to swallow down a rush of affection for his boy, tugging fondly at his Padawan braid as he takes the lightsaber.

Obi-Wan is twenty-seven, and his Padawan is twelve-- and the second he makes contact with the lightsaber, his stomach swoops. He clutches it tightly, unwilling to risk dropping it and offending his Padawan.

He forces himself to look, though he is somewhat more distracted than he'd usually be. Anakin's lightsaber is beautifully crafted, with smooth lines and a solid hilt; the slanted emitter is a particularly nice touch.

Obi-Wan only wishes that was the reason for the heat pooling in his gut.

"Do you like it, Master?"

Anakin watches him with wide eyes, halfway between worry and anticipation. He only comes up to Obi-Wan's shoulders, and-- for an instant-- this suprises him.

For an instant, Obi-Wan had been expecting to look up and see a fully-grown man.

But his Padawan is only twelve, so he forces a smile onto his face and hands the lightsaber back to his soulmate.

"Yes, of course," he tells Anakin. "I do."

#Cue Obi-Wan feeling horribly weird and guilty for the next 10 years bc touching Anakin's lightsaber makes him aroused#But Anakin is still a child#Also yes I specifically chose “I do” to sound like a wedding vow#They're now tied intrinsically together. Maybe they have been since the first time they met#Obi-Wan knows there is no escaping this#(but he maybe doesn't mind as much as he should)
