     OBI-WAN COULD SAY he knew what it felt like to drown , when kissing Anakin felt like a life without air —- & Obi-wan reveled in the breathlessness of it .  like every other part of them , moving in tandem – a singularity , this too was PURE ADRENALINE . he could feel it ; could even taste something purely kinetic in the shock of their lips pressed together . messy , rushed , but efficient enough to burn — just like the heat on anakin’s jaw from where obi-wan’s knuckles had just been . 

       That too , might have been a kiss . 

       BUT LIKE ANY man who knows he’s suffocating , the surface is an inevitability . & this here , this ‘them’ would have to end . the realization of what he’d done is too cold for them to stay this warm . he works the edge out of his kiss , moves slower - making it bittersweet , ( like the guilt he begins to feel ) passing forth a softness with the press of his tongue to Anakin’s bottom lip ; a different sort of apology , compared to the one he’ll have to make . this is wrong , this is wrong , this is exactly what you wanted

       WHEN HE PULLS away , he hopes he took the sound Anakin made with him . when he pulls away , he feels the immediate absence of Anakin’s skin under his palms – feels the magnetized tingle in the oxbow of his lip where it still grazes against Anakin’s , but only just . they’re always ‘ only just ’

       WHEN HE PULLS away , it becomes real - & not a thing of circumstance . not a thing of theory ( the ‘ what if we did ’ ) and the only thing he can say is : 

      ❝   Anakin              ❞    we shouldn’t we shouldn’t we can’t

               IT’S MORE OF a collision than a kiss; with teeth, tongue, && hands that don’t know how to do anything but hold on. His palm settles against Obi-Wan’s chest to find his on stumbling pulse mirrored there, a drumbeat echo on his skin, reflection of the waiting, an ache that never stopped ―

              How did he find out? How long had Obi-Wan been aware of his feelings for him? He’d buried them so deep that even now, the strength of his reaction to his former’s master’s touch surprises him. Pressure flares along nervepaths down the center of his body, && the muscles in his belly and groin pull tight when the tip of his master’s tongue flickers across his lips, seeking entry, then pushing past his teeth. 

          It’s almost too much to bear, but Anakin still mourns its passing.

             When Obi-Wan pulls away Anakin makes another sound, this one full of longing && pain to be once again denied the hidden desire he was now indulging. The heat of the kiss stays with him, spilling dark warmth into his stomach && radiating a gentle glow through his foggy thoughts. He looks properly wrecked, lips worn red with abuse && a violet bruise marring the taut skin of his jawline. Anakin’s curls lie in disarray from where Obi-Wan had wound his fingers through them. He can still feel the ghost of the touch, a phantom of forbidden intimacy.

     ❝ Obi-Wan I— ❞ He has to stop to catch his breath. What happens now?
