"We're not talking about that right now," Obi-Wan deflected cripsly, "we're talking about you."
“Well we shouldbe talking about that! Force, Obi-Wan – ”
“Padawan – ”
“Don’tpadawan me!” Anakin shouted. The younger man rounded on him,emotions like a physical thunderstorm in the Force, and Obi-Wannearly took a step backward, the push was so strong. “How can you,you yell at me for this when you’re doing the same damnthing?!”
Obi-Wan’s chestwent cold. “I have not – ”
“Like hells youdidn’t! You are! You did then and you do now, kriff, I could seeit when we met! Or are you gonna flat-out lie to me – to both ofus – and say you’re not in love with him?!”
All the air went outof the room. No one moved, no one breathed, until –
“Obi-Wan?”
His name, breathedin a cracked whisper by his old master.
Obi-Wan watched helplesslyas Qui-Gon rose to his feet, the most extraordinary look on hiscraggy face. “Padawan? Is this true?”
