Pairing: Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon

Why this must be read:

Obi-Wan is suffering from somnambulism—though suffering may not be the right word, since he’s been waking up in his master’s bed, a phenomenon that Qui-Gon has mixed feelings about.

Even in the dark, he could see Obi-Wan that well - as if it were brightest daylight.

When had that happened?

When had he memorized every detail of his Padawan so closely?

Even in the dark he could see the rise and fall of his chest, even and shallow in sleep.

Even in the dark he could see the curve of his hip, the small of his back, the arch of his spine.

And even in the dark, Qui-Gon Jinn could see something else - that he had fallen in love with his apprentice.

But that still didn't answer the first question - why in the name of the hundred little gods was Obi-Wan in his bed?

A light, mildly humorous story in which we find “that unmistakable my-back-is-too-warm-and-my-bed-is-too-small feeling,” the standard padawan-reporting-to-the-Jedi-council-sans-uniform dream, and naked lightsaber sparring.
