Obi-Wan tried not to wiggle sensuously as he strode purposefully down the polished hall of the Jedi Temple, keeping easy pace with his Master Qui-Gon and the precocious child Anakin Skywalker. The boy was the newest addition to the list of pathetic lifeforms that seemed to cling to his beloved Master like....like.....well, like poison leechenberry to the buttocks of a young Padawan. Obi-Wan smiled as his mind wandered back in time....



He had been Qui-Gon's Padawan for several years, roaming the galaxy and having nightly wet dreams about his Master, all the while hiding his carnal desire for the older, inscrutable Jedi. They had been abruptly assigned to assess farm land on the forest covered planet Houila, and having no time to restock their field supplies before embarking, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan had been putting their Jedi ingenuity to the test. Qui-Gon insisted all they would need they would find in the woods, and Obi-Wan had spent the days finding ways to make do with whatever they came across and trying to impress his elder.

And so it had been when he found himself awakened one night after a particularly hot fantasy about Qui-Gon in nothing but a hair tie, striking out into the forest to wash away the evidence of his dream. He washed quickly in a nearby stream that ran so cold, he wondered if he would ever achieve an erection again. Shivering, he realized he had absolutely nothing with which to dry himself. Casting about in the dark, his hands brushed soft, fuzzy leaves and he smiled. Qui-Gon would be impressed with how well his Padawan adapted to this environment! And maybe, just maybe, he would give Obi-Wan a full body hug, something which could fuel the young man's fantasies for weeks.

Breaking off several of the leaves, he rubbed them around his groin and over his smooth butt cheeks. Oh how he wished it were Qui-Gon's strong hands! The leaves seemed to soak up the water very well, but soon became sticky. Before he knew it, they were stuck to his hands and his behind, some sort of sap being excreted and gluing the leaves to his flesh. Disgusted, he peeled the vegetation from his body and washed off what he could of the gluey substance. Now he was cold, wet and tacky. Sighing at his failure, he decided it was best not to tell his Master about this incident and slunk back to bed.

By the time breakfast was finished next morning, Qui-Gon was beginning to notice something odd was up with his Padawan. The normally cheerful apprentice who fawned all over his Master was replaced with a sullen, twitchy young man who couldn't seem to sit still for one minute. Watching out the corners of his eyes, he observed his Padawan cleaning their dishes, scratching his hands and rubbing himself against every available rough surface.

"Padawan, are you quite all right?"

Obi-Wan froze. He was all but humping the pointy end of a tree stump, trying desperately to assuage the inflamed itch in his nether regions. There was no use denying it, and lying to his Master would only make things worse. He looked at his reddened palms and knuckles.

"I...uh, that is... I seem to have developed a rash. Of sorts."

"A rash you say? Hmmmm. I wonder if it was something you ate."

Obi-Wan's face flushed pink. "Well, actually, I think I might have brushed against something in the forest."

Qui-Gon chuckled. "I certainly hope it wasn't that patch of leechenberry leaves down by the water. One light stroke across your leg and you'll gnaw your skin right off!" Qui-Gon stopped when he saw the wide-eyed, horror filled look on his Padawan's face. "You...you didn't go near the leechenberry plants, did you? The ones with the soft, fuzzy leaves?" he asked in a hushed voice.

Obi-Wan gave a manly mewl, for Jedi do not whimper, and bit his bottom lip. Qui-Gon tried not to laugh, and launched into a long discourse on the cautions one should take while camped in the bush. While he lectured, he applied a thick salve to his Padawan's hands, then began wrapping them in thermal blanket strips. The itch would get worse, but at least the young man would still have some skin left when the poison finally dissipated.

"Obi-Wan, you must hold still," said Qui-Gon for the third time. His Padawan was squirming and gyrating while Qui-Gon coccooned his hands in cloth. It was almost as if..... "Obi-Wan, do you have this rash anywhere else?"

"Uhm...I might. A little." Obi-Wan tried to run his fanny over the rough bark of the treestump without being obvious.

"Where, exactly, is the rest of the rash? You've got it on your arse, haven't you?" Obi-Wan tried to skitter away, but Qui-Gon caught him and pulled his leggings down past his waistline. "Oh Force, Padawan! What did you do, sit in it?" Obi-Wan nodded his head miserably. Tears welled in his eyes, and it melted Qui-Gon's heart. "Don't worry Padawan, it'll be all right. I'll take care of you. But we have to get those pants off..."

Obi-Wan blushed crimson. How many times had he fantasized about those very words coming from his Master's lips? "But Master, surely I can do this myself..."

Qui-Gon snorted. Not when an opportunity like this presented itself! "Er...not with your hands in this condition. I'm sorry Padawan, I'll try and be gentle." Obi-Wan did whimper then, and thanked the Force he had remembered to put on clean underwear. His Master turned him around and expertly divested him of his leggings. Hiding a smile and sighing, Qui-Gon positioned him over his knees and began applying salve to the reddened cheeks, angry looking bumps dotting the perfect twin globes. My, how Qui-Gon had wanted to do this for such a long time! He applied more salve, running his hands over his apprentice in slow, smooth strokes.

The young man seemed to grow excited as the stroking continued, Qui-Gon could feel his Padawan's erection bumping him in the leg. Obi-Wan was now mortified as well as severely uncomfortable, but he couldn't stop himself! It felt so good. Then Qui-Gon dipped a salve-covered finger in between those abused cheeks and Obi-Wan began to writhe. A groan from deep within his Padawan made him scoop the young man into his arms and seal his lips over Obi-Wan's. His apprentice returned the kiss forcefully and wrapped his mummified hands around Qui-Gon's neck. They broke apart to catch their breath and Obi-Wan smiled brightly through tears, caught between the ecstasy and the itch, rubbing himself against his Master. Qui-Gon then wrapped a salve covered hand around his reddened manhood and stroked him, all the while whispering words of promise to his beloved Padawan. His other hand wound into the silky hair at the back of his head.....



.....and tugged sharply at his Padawan tail. Obi-Wan squeaked as he was shaken out of his delicious memory. His Master had halted him in time to save young Anakin from being trampled by the day-dreaming apprentice. Obi-Wan blinked and followed his Master and Anakin into the council chambers, rubbing his head and pouting slightly.

Qui-Gon argued with the council to have Anakin trained, insisting he was 'The One.' It was not the first time Qui-Gon had dragged someone to Coruscant to be trained, although he usually used the excuse of "He followed me here, can we keep him?" And as usual, the council said no. Obi-Wan was pleased when at last the they were given leave, and made a politely slow dash for the door. He was quite surprised when Qui-Gon was not behind him, but even more surprised when his Master asked to take Anakin as his Padawan! Obi-Wan was shocked, and gave Qui-Gon his patented "We will be discussing this later, pal" look before remembering where he was. Covering quickly, he assured the Council he was ready for testing, only to be brushed off and told to go back to Naboo with his Master.

The dismissed Jedi bowed and headed for the doors. Qui-Gon murmured to his apprentice, "You're okay with this Anakin thing, right?"

Obi-Wan's whisper was sarcastic. "Oh, I haven't been this thrilled since I won the Jedi Sweepstakes."

"You never play the Jedi Sweepstakes. You're too..."

"Frugal."

"Cheap, yes, that's the word."

As they entered the hall, Anakin cast a last pleading look back at the Jedi council as Obi-Wan gasped theatrically.

"I am not cheap!"

"I'm always buying you lunch."

"I'm your Padawan! You have to buy me lunch!"

Yoda rolled his eyes and shook his head. "So married, they are." Master Windu smiled ruefully and nodded.



Stepping aboard the Queen's ship again, Anakin scuttled ahead of the two Jedi, excited to be going on an adventure. In a deserted corridor, Qui-Gon put his arm affectionately around his Padawan's shoulder. He had some major kissing up to do with the young man.

"Obi-Wan, you will always, always be my love, never doubt that for an instant. Nothing can take the place of you in my heart."

Obi-Wan nestled into his Master's embrace and pouted for effect. "Not even 'The One?'" Qui-Gon shook his head and kissed Obi-Wan's temple. "But, if I become a Knight, I will be assigned separate missions and..."

"Don't worry about that beloved. I have enough dirt on Master Windu to make sure he sends both of us on many assignments together. Who knew that he liked Wookies that way...." As they entered their quarters, Qui-Gon's hand drifted down to cup his Padawan's well formed buttocks. "That reminds me. Don't think I didn't notice you swishing this around outside the council chambers. I haven't seen you move like that since Houila."

Obi-Wan's smile was beautiful. "That's exactly what I was thinking about!"

Qui-Gon embraced Obi-Wan tightly. "I promised you then you would be my love forever, and I meant it." Qui-Gon kissed his apprentice feverishly, both men shedding each others cloaks as they stumbled towards the sleeping chamber.

"Hey guys! Look what I found!"

Two sets of eyes flashed wide and the two men pulled their lips apart with a loud smack. Obi-Wan nearly hurt himself whipping his head around to stare dumbfounded at Anakin, sitting atop a nightstand and looking at them curiously. Gulping, he released Qui-Gon and nodded at the older Jedi.

"And that is...uh...how you share air if..uh...you ever misplace your underwater apparatus. Er..um...Jar Jar told me. Quite useful." Qui-Gon sighed at his sweating Padawan. By the time Anakin became a Jedi, Obi-Wan was going to either be a nervous wreck, or a much better liar.

"Hey guys, what is this stuff? I found it in the drawer by the bed." Anakin briefly held up a tube, then read the side. "Ass-tro-lube. What's Ass-tro-lube?"

Obi-Wan choked. Apparently the crew of the ship, after over-hearing the two Jedi making love, had helpfully provided them with supplies. Qui-Gon decided it was time to teach Obi-Wan Jedi Diplomacy Trick number twenty four, 'If they reach their own conclusions, it's not really lying.'

"What do you think it is, Anakin?"

The boy scratched his chin. "Ass-tro...Ass-tro....I know! It's lube for the astromech droids!"

Qui-Gon smiled at the beaming child, choosing his words carefully. "You're very clever, Annie."

"But what's it doing in your bedroom?"

Qui-Gon turned to Obi-Wan and smiled encouragingly, expecting the young man to follow his example. Obi-Wan stammered and waved his hands vaguely.

"It's ah...well..it's, uhm....it also is very good....bug repellant...?" Obi-Wan finished sheepishly, risking a look at his scowling Master.

"Oh boy! This is to ward off space spiders! Can I use some?"

"Er...uh, sure Annie. Take the whole tube. Now go find your quarters. We'll see you tomorrow." Thanking the older men profusely, the boy bade them good night and dashed out the door. Obi-Wan sunk his head into his hands. Qui-Gon wrapped his arms around the young man and stroked his back. "Maybe you're not quite ready for those tests yet, Padawan." It took some encouraging, but eventually Qui-Gon got his young lover relaxed enough to take him to bed and re-create the salve applying episode from their first lovemaking. Begrudgingly, Obi-Wan had to thank those stupid leaves for his present happiness.



Sometime later that night, Obi-Wan wiggled out of his Master's warm embrace and shrugged into his robes, intending to visit the little Padawan's room down the hall. Muffled sounds from the corridor outside caught his attention. Eeeeee...thump. Eeeeee...thump. Scowling, he opened the door only to step back as Anakin went flying by, executing a belly luge down the hall until he hit the far wall.

"Wheeeeee..." Thump.

"Anakin! Whatever are you doing?"

The boy scrabbled to his feet, trying to get a foothold on the slippery deck. "Oh, Obi-Wan! That spider repellant stuff is great! And if you smear it all over yourself, you can slide down the hall. Watch!" The child launched himself into the air and went sailing past the astonished apprentice. Obi-Wan sighed and headed to the bathroom, slipping on the slick floor, his command of the Force the only thing that kept him from landing on his butt. He wasn't looking forward to explaining to the Queen why her decks were greased, or having to face Qui-Gon once he found their young charge slathered in sexual lubricant. Considering how things were going, whatever happened on Naboo had to be better than this.
