intense, blistering rays of it, flooding your vision as you blearily nestle your way into his frame, letting out a content sigh as a hand trails lazily along your back.
a sweet and gentle touch, thumb tracing circles as it travels.
“it’s morning, love.”
“and what does that have to do with me?”
he tuts, callused fingers squeezing soft skin, “it’s time for us to get out of this stuffy cot and get along with our day.”
next, came the heat.
thick, blazing waves of it as the suns hung high in the horizon, promising of nothing but another scorching day. as you come to, the haziness of slumber wearing off, you sense the stickiness.
a sheen of sweat is beginning to coat your body, but stars, mornings like this were a rarity. typically, he was an early riser.
so why not savor this moment next to your lover?
“but ben,” a protest drips from your lips, “a few more minutes, please.”
“as much as i would to lay here with you for a few more minutes,” ben presses kisses along your temple, just above your brow, “it’s only going to be a matter of time before we’re both utterly miserable.”
“mmm,” you hum, wrinkling your nose, “i say just two more minutes.”
“what am i going to do with you?” ben tsks, yet pulls you closer, completely disregarding that the temperature is spiking by the second.
“i think the best option i can give you is to keep me around,” a giggle bubbles up in your throat as the hairs of ben’s beard tickle your cheek.
his mouth hovers by your ear, his voice brimmed with exhaustion, raspy and low, “hmmm, i do quite like that idea.”
cupping his cheek, you wriggle, rolling on your side so that your faces meet, gazes interlocking, “our two minutes is almost up.”
leaning in, ben’s nose brushes against yours, the corners of his lips curling into a smirk.
“it must be the heat of the morning, or the radiance of your beauty, but i believe our two minutes are only getting started.”

Summary: SFW alphabet for Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Not my gif
A - Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Obi-Wan is pretty damn affectionate- when you both are alone. In public, it is often a different story. That’s not to say he doesn’t sweet talk you quietly when you’re out and about, but he rarely holds your hand when in places that the Jedi Order could see you. When you are alone though, either in his quarters, your Coruscant apartment or elsewhere out of sight, he is one of the most affectionate people you’ve ever met, giving you so many hugs and kisses it’s hard to count.
One of his favourite things to do, during slower days, he’ll sit in his favourite chair whilst he reads, letting you sit in a nearby chair, your hands linking you both together.
B - Best Friend (What would they be like as a best friend? Where does the friendship start?)
Quite simply, Obi-Wan is one of the nicest and fairest beings in the galaxy, and the very best friend should you put the effort in to get to know him- though, even if you don’t, he’s still extraordinarily kind hearted, and ever the gentleman.
The friendship would probably start when he’s assigned to protect you- and of course he politely introduces himself, and you’re drawn to his friendly and calming presence.
C - Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
He ADORES cuddles. All of them. In bed, in comfy chairs, standing up- anywhere, anyhow, so long as you aren’t discovered. Given half the chance, he would cuddle you to the end of time. He’s a big one for physical affection. A lot of his favourite moments with you are spent curled up together, talking about both everything and nothing, basking in each others company.
D - Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking, cleaning, ect?)
Obi-Wan would love to settle down- and he was incredibly ready to leave the Jedi Order for you, but you told him to stay, at least for Anakin’s sake.
He is a marvelous cook- and you can’t convince me otherwise. You don’t go out for secret date nights, oh no, Obi-Wan cooks you a delicious home-made meal.
He’s also quite clean, doing all the chores around his quarters almost every day or when he gets the chance between training sessions, meetings and the missions.
E - Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
If he had to, he would try and let you down slowly. He would try not to make a show of it and explain calmly to you why he think it would be best for you to go your separate ways. It would break him inside, but he’d keep his composure until he was alone.
F - Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? Do they wanna get married?)
He would like very much to get married to you 😊 you are his one and only living love, after all. He’d leave the Order for you, if you let him. Enough said, really.
G - Gentle (How gentle are they both physically and emotionally?)
Very gentle physically, very very gentle indeed. His touches are always so soft, as if he’s nervous that you’re only a dream, and if he’s too rough with you, you’ll suddenly poof out of existence. It’s quite sweet, actually.
H - Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it, and what are they like?)
Like with cuddles, Obi is a pretty big hugger. His hugs are warm, and full of all the love he holds for you. You almost always catch his scent- the faint smell of spices, and it always calms you down, it’s soothing. His hands often find the small of your back and the back of your head, supporting you as well as keeping you close to him.
I - I Love You (How fast do they say the “love” word?)
Not particularly quickly- he tries to suppress his feelings at first, and it takes many weeks of being around you for him to even admit to himself that he liked you, not to mention how long it took for him to muster up the courage to admit his feelings for you.
Even after he admits his love for you, he usually only says the L word when he thinks it’s a special occasion- though he makes sure that you know he loves you in other ways.
J - Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What are they like when jealous?)
Obi-Wan doesn’t often get jealous- he understands the need for close friendships outside of your relationship. But there have been one or two instances where his emotions have gotten the better of him. When he’s jealous, he can get rather possessive. He doesn’t mean to- he truly doesn’t- but he’ll put his arm around your waist, pull you close to his side, whilst giving a very dark glare to send them a message. (He’ll try not to do this in front of Jedi, and has so far succeeded in that regard.)
K - Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Obi-Wan’s kisses are often quite light and brief- as most of them are given in public. Kisses in private are much deeper, much more passionate, much longer. His favourite place to kiss you is the very tip of your nose, he doesn’t know why really, he just thinks it’s a very endearing place to kiss you. His favourite place to be kissed is just under his jaw, your lips just seem to press against his skin so nicely there.
L - Little Ones (How are they around kids?)
Oh, Obi-Wan is a dream around children! He is a wonderful mentor to the younglings in the temple- a brilliant father figure for those who see him as such. Absolute father/husband material, I tell you.
M - Morning (What are mornings like with them?)
They are sometimes few and far between, but... Imagine the most idyllic scene you can think of. Sunlight streaming through the window and lightly hitting your face, as the wonderful smell of breakfast hits your nose, rousing you from your slumber. There he stands, in his nightclothes with his back to you, as he cooks you a glorious breakfast. He turns to smile at you as you get up, moving over to quickly give you a morning kiss on the cheek.
That is a morning with Obi-Wan.
N - Nights (How are nights spent with them?)
Just as heavenly as the mornings. They’re quiet, more often than not, but they’re still wonderful. Though just as rare as the mornings, if not rarer, you both spend the first part of the evening watching the sun set, before dining together, and finally ending up in each others arms, talking nonsense till you both find slumber.
O - Open (When do they open up about themselves?)
Usually late at night, a month or so into your relationship. It’s not about what most people would consider ‘secrets’, but to Obi-Wan these things are incredibly personal. He talks to you about the bond he had with his master, and how he felt when he lost him, he talks about how proud he is of Anakin, all of it. It takes a few weeks and countless late nights, but you’re both all the closer to one another for it.
P - Patience (How easily angered are they?)
Man’s a Jedi. The King of patience. He doesn’t often get angry.
When he does, though... Yikes. He loses it. Thankfully his rage is almost never directed towards you.
Q - Quizzes (How much do they remember about you?)
He remembers everything you tell him, down to the last detail. You mention something as a throwaway comment? I guarantee you he’ll be doing or purchasing something to do with that little throwaway line. Every detail goes into his head and never leaves.
R - Remember (Favorite memory with you?)
A time he found you entertaining the younglings whilst waiting for you. You seemed so happy, your eyes sparkling and full of life, glinting as you laughed. He leant against the wall, just watching you as you played with them, letting them embrace their childhood for a little bit longer. It is something he’ll often play it over and over again in his head when he’s watching you sleep.
S - Security (How protective are they?)
Obi-Wan knows you have to fight your own battles, and he does try his best to let you do that, offering guidance if you need it. However, when he knows you’re out of your depth- whatever that may be- he will step in and defend you in whatever way he needs to.
T - Try (How much effort do they put in?)
He puts in so much effort for you, trying to prove himself to you even though you constantly remind him he doesn’t need to. He also finds it his constant quest to make it up to you for not spending more time with you when in the Order. You tell him not to do that too, but he never seems to listen.
U - Ugly (What are their bad habits?)
Apologising too much. For not spending enough time with you, for being late when he isn’t.. Little things. Little, pesky things. It started off sweet at first, but quickly you found it to be a little bit of a problem.
V - Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Not really that concerned. He keeps himself clean of course, he has more than enough decency for that, but he’s not really that fussed. He’ll pay more attention to small things- like the style of his hair or how he wears his robe- if he wants to impress you, but he’s not exactly vain.
W - Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
Oh he would definitely feel incomplete without you. He misses you deeply when on missions- and even goes as far to use his holocom to contact you when far off and he can’t bear not hearing your voice anymore.
X - Xtra (Random HC)
Obi-Wan is an absolutely divine cook. You want a meal that the canteens or cafeteria don’t do a good job on? Say no more, he shall provide for you. He’d cook practically anything for you, just to see you smile.
Y - Yuck (Things they don’t like either in general or a partner?)
Obi-Wan isn’t particularly fussy when it comes to partners, however there is one thing that almost always has to be there. Manners. Otherwise, you may just have a few ettiquete lessons from Master Kenobi.
Z - Zzz (Sleep habits)
Obi-Wan is usually a sound sleeper, and has a regular sleeping pattern. This pattern is only slightly taken off track when you sleep in the same bed as him, and he’ll spend at least half an hour running his hands through your hair as you sleep, admiring the blissful smile that crosses your lips.
