[ Chuckle. ] I was lying. Heroin has nothing to do with it.
[His voice pitches up at least an octave.] Not /that/.

On the kitchen top, there was one plate waiting for him. No food for Qui-Gon it seemed. Either he'd already eaten, or-- "Please, go ahead."
β€œ okay, okay. ” he followed his former master and friend with enthusiasm, he would rarely eat such things but when qui-gonn made it, he couldn't refuse at all.
"Of course. When you became my Padawan, I did have a duty of care; Just-- That doesn't end simply because you are no longer my Padawan." He smiled ever so gently at the other.

[ Shrug. ] What did you expect, Obi-Wan?
There was so much left unsaid in that embrace between two men. They cared for each other, that much was clear for even the most casual onlooker, but this went so much deeper. Qui-Gon considered himself Obi-Wan's father in all meanings of the word, except the actual biological +
Perhaps there’s a part of Obi-Wan that has grieved so thoroughly over his Master, that he cannot even allow this to be reality. He is removed from it, finding it much easier to turn a blind eye and accept that he lives, and doesn’t live, rather than question the details.β€”

grew more desperate, especially in the eyes of those who were closest to him. It still took him so by surprise, as always, that he promptly forgot what Obi-Wan had been talking about and instead reassured him. "I'm here," he whispered. "I'm here and I won't go away again." +

Unless someone killed him again, of course, and even that would only be temporary.
Neither of them addressed the elephant in the room that was Qui-Gon's body temperature, nor the brief flash of pain on his face as Obi-Wan and his embrace got just a little too close to wounds that'd never heal, and that was fine by him. Instead, he gently rubbed the +
He tenses, then relaxes. He /melts/, burying his face into Qui-Gon’s shoulder and wrapping his arms around him as he would’ve done when he was a boy. Qui-Gon would’ve had to kneel to reach his height back then, but now Kenobi is tall and holding him just as much as he is held.β€”

other's back and listened to his words. "Then hold onto that," he said, his voice soft and gentle and oh-so calm. He didn't feel all the emotions that Obi-Wan felt, simply an undying belief in both his Padawans. He believed just as much that Anakin still lived, and if +

anyone would be able to lure him out again, it'd be Obi-Wan.
And then, impulsively, Qui-Gon rushed forward and pulled his former Padawan in for a hug. "His choice. I know that isn't nice, but in the end that's on him. We've taught him, always, that hate leads to the dark side. He knew what this would bring. . ."
The words come rushing out of him, exhausted and weak: β€œHe blames me, Master. He /hates/ me.” And the worst part of all is that Kenobi can’t blame himβ€”not entirely. He knows he hasn’t been the best Master or brother. That he made many decisions that left Anakin on the outside.
"No, you haven't." He understood feeling unmoored, uncertain. He understood having to relearn everything. He would never blame Obi-Wan for that. "I appreciate your honesty."

Qui-Gon blinked in surprise, and he had to remind himself that him being here was new. That he had died ( many ) times by now. And so he nodded. "I understand . . ."

Not premeditated. Not by you alone anyway. [ He shook his head ever so slightly, but not because he was disappointed. ] Obi-Wan, you did the best you could do. Anakin made that decision himself.
Yes. A choice premeditated by every interaction I’ve ever had with him, every bit of training I took him through, and every skirmish in the war. [A deep exhale, mournfully looking up to his Master as if searching for absolution.] This is a terrible feeling, this guilt.
