Obi-Wan staggered into the quarters he shared with his master, collapsing against the door milliseconds after it closed. He gazed blearily across the darkened common room, identifying the couch as his immediate goal. With tremendous determination he pushed off from the cold metal surface and propelled himself across the seemingly endless expanse of floor. With unending gratitude, he flopped down onto the welcoming furniture and rested his head against the cushioned back.

Why, oh why? What had possessed him to voluntarily spend two days judging the Initiates' Trials? Even worse, why had he agreed to chaperone the all-day celebration at their conclusion? He'd never before been so exhausted. This was worse than his previous personal fatigue record, established on a mission to Andrigar when he and Qui-Gon had snatched only two hours' sleep during a four-day bombing raid.

Obi-Wan sank further into the plump comfort. His bones had dissolved several hours ago. His muscles had resigned from all responsibility for at least the next day and a half. His hair hurt.

With his eyes closed, Obi-Wan breathed deeply and began to relax, taking in his surroundings. He realized his master must have been occupying this same spot before retiring for the night. The apprentice could easily read his master's Force signature in the area. A quick check along their training bond confirmed that Qui-Gon was in his room, sleeping peacefully.

After considerable deliberation, Obi-Wan decided that if anything could possibly feel better than sinking into the comfortable familiarity of the sitting couch and his master's aura, it would be doing so without his boots on. The young man concentrated intently for several seconds, gathering as much energy as he could muster.

He threw his weight forward and with the resulting momentum managed to grasp the straps on his left boot. With his eyes barely open, he unfastened the three buckles and, gathering the Force about him, extricated his foot from the worn leather binding.

Oh, that felt wondrous. The cool air caressed his hot, stinging foot. The disparate sensations between the clad foot and the exposed one were extremely disconcerting, though, and he was driven to quickly remove the remaining source of offense.

Bliss. Such simple pleasures made life worthwhile. Obi-Wan wiggled his toes, drowning in the absence of the constraining footwear that until now he had not noticed was bothering him. Slitting open his eyes long enough to satisfy his compulsion for tidiness, the young man picked up his boots and propped them beside the couch, next to a taller, larger pair.

He hadn't noticed them when he sat down. Qui-Gon must have done much the same thing sitting in that spot. He must have taken off his worn but serviceable boots and tucked them away against the side of the couch, forgetting them when he wandered into bed.

Looking at them, Obi-Wan couldn't help but smile. They were like familiar friends. He had followed Qui-Gon's boots through swamps and deserts, palaces and war zones. He remembered several instances when only the backs of those boots anchored him to reality during endless hours of trudging.

Even in the Temple, the boots had been a recurring focus of his attention. As a youth, he had spent countless hours rubbing oil into the soft hide, satisfied to be helping his teacher in this small way.

Indulging in a whim, Obi-Wan slipped into the tall boots. They were so large! He wiggled his toes, finding the interior topography all wrong for his feet. The contours had certainly been developed by a frame much larger than his own.

After checking to be sure Qui-Gon was really asleep, Obi-Wan found enough energy to stand and clomp around the room. He laughed to himself, feeling like one of the young initiates he had just left. He vividly remembered the days long ago when he would do just this, imagining how it would feel to one day fill a Jedi Master's shoes.

He knew now that he could never fill Qui-Gon's footsteps, literally or figuratively. His master was... a Master. Obi-Wan was privileged to walk in his shadow. Some day he might become a Knight, but he would never be the Jedi that Qui-Gon was.

Plopping back down into the indentation on the couch, Obi-Wan crossed his left ankle over his right knee. He fingered the soft leather of the boots, tracing his fingers along the scars etched into the surface. He could actually identify the source of some of them: the scratches left by the thorn patch in the woodland of Marigae, the slice from the saber encounter on Westrim III.

Qui-Gon's life was inscribed on these boots. Their life together was written there, too.

Obi-Wan's head tilted back to rest on the cushion, fatigue once again overwhelming him. He continued rubbing his hand over the leather, releasing the rich, comfortable odor. He envisioned his master striding along before him, confident and sure.

He wasn't sure when his arousal had begun, but suddenly Obi-Wan was painfully aware of the hardness between his legs. Yet again he checked to be sure his master slept, unaware of his padawan's presence in the adjoining room. Reassured that he was unobserved, Obi-Wan indulged himself in the fantasy.

...Qui-Gon striding toward him, the leather boots emphasizing every powerful step. Qui-Gon's hands grasping his arms, brusquely pulling him forward....

Obi-Wan's right hand caressed the buttery hide of the boot. His left hand untied his leggings, and pulled his erection free. His cock pulsed in his palm, demanding to be stroked.

...Qui-Gon leaning over and kissing him, a groan accompanying the master's tongue as it probed deeply into his mouth....

Obi-Wan moved his fingertips lightly over the shaft, circling the head, not wanting to rush the sensations. His did not notice the harshness of each breath that left his lips.

...Qui-Gon ripping the tunics from him, exposing his chest. Qui-Gon's rough hands on his back, and eager mouth locking onto a nipple, sucking fiercely....

His arousal building quickly, Obi-Wan began to stroke more seriously, his tunneled fingers moving up and down his cock. His other hand kneaded the leather, pushing and pulling in time with the erotic strokes.

...Qui-Gon kneeling before him, untying his leggings, pushing them hastily down to drape over his boots. Qui-Gon's hands grasping his rear. Qui-Gon's mouth descending on his phallus, possessing, licking, taking him in, sucking hard....

Obi-Wan groaned quietly. His hips rose to meet the harsh rhythm of his left hand, the pace accelerating. His right hand pulled the booted foot forward, drawing his leg closer to his groin.

...Qui-Gon's demanding mouth pulling him to an explosive climax. His hips thrusting forward, spilling his orgasm into his grateful master's throat....

Obi-Wan gasped as he came, spurting his seed over the brown leather. His hips thrust once, twice more, before he sank his weight back into the cushions. He calmed his breath slowly but deliberately, relishing the tingle still moving over his skin. Finally, with one eye peaking open, the young man confirmed the mess he had made of Qui-Gon's boot.

After putting his leggings to rights, Obi-Wan removed both boots, placing the right one on the floor, and taking the left one in hand. Lovingly, he rubbed his semen into the worn leather, merging his essence with his master's. It would be dry by morning.

He sat the boots back where they had been, and picked up his own smaller pair. With a last effort of will, he hoisted himself from the couch and stumbled into his own room and bed.

The End.
