I watch him as he finally gets a katana he has been working on, eyes shining
with happiness and not undue pride. I watch him as he struggles with an
astrophysics lesson, grumbling with dissatisfaction in his poor mark. I
watch him as he successfully helps to delegate a peace treaty between two
warring clans on a mission, his serenity and compassion exposed like a
beacon. I watch him training and becoming the Jedi I knew he would.
MY PADAWAN.
I watch his mouth twitch with amusement at one of my dry jokes, finally
giving in and bursting out in rare laughter. I watch the mischief shine in
his eyes as he plans some sort of surprise for my naming day, his joy of
getting to do something special for me evident. I watch him console me when
I have had a hard day in Council's chambers, his support never wavering. I
watch him growing into the man I knew he would.
MY FRIEND.
I watch the sweat slide over his cheeks as we are locked together in
passion, my name escaping his lips. I watch him serve me breakfast in bed on
an unusual day of him rising before me, just because he wants to. I watch
him brush my hair with loving care after a bath, because he says I can't do
it right. I watch him love me as I knew he would.
MY LOVER.
I watch him share a joke with his friends, his eyes sparking as he includes
me in the banter. I watch him quietly reading a trashy space pirate novel,
enjoying a quiet moment alone. I watch him bow to a senator at an official
gathering, never putting himself in a subordinate placing to them. I watch
him becoming the person I knew he would.
MY OBI-WAN.
