    Summary

    "This is Guiding Light, with your host, Ben Kenobi, and you're listening to K-JEDI."

    Anakin starts listening to the radio on nights he can't sleep. Ben Kenobi's show is random, eclectic, meandering, and sometimes confusing, but it's good, too, and Anakin is grateful for the company in the middle of the night.

    And then one night, everything changed. "I feel like chatting. Here's the number to the station. Anyone want to talk?"

    Anakin woke up his phone, jabbed his finger at the numbers, and hit Send before he could talk himself out of it.

    Summary

    5 + 1 story about Anakin and Obi-Wan bathing with each other through the years.

    “I told you to wait,” Obi-Wan grumbled as he too began to strip off his tunic and pants and underwear before wading his way into the water behind him. “Just because it looks clear isn’t always an indication that it is clear.”
    Anakin huffed, splashing his master with water as he made his way further in, “The force would tell me if it was, wouldn’t it?”
    “Perhaps,” Obi-Wan shot water back towards Anakin by pressing it like a pistol between his palms.

    Summary

    “Having second thoughts now?”

    The answer was written clearly across Anakin's face. Confused and lost, he looked like a puppy that had suddenly forgotten the right trick—wondering if that hand gesture meant lay down or paw. The sight prompted a soft huff from Obi-Wan, a sound he couldn’t quite suppress.

    “It’s alright. You wouldn’t be the first. I have been telling you that this isn’t necessary for everyone. And… I’ll not make you, of course,” he reassured, delivering the final, devastating note of his narrative. “You know where the door is.”

    Obi-Wan truly believed the boy would take the way out. Instead, Anakin had never slammed a door closed faster in his life.

     

    or

    Obi-Wan severely underestimates Anakin's eagerness to enter this new world of play. As it turns out, his new obsession has a couple of delightful surprises in store for him.

    Summary

    Anakin goes on a date he expected to be awkward, transactional, and over the moment the credits are mentioned.

    Instead, he meets Obi-Wan Kenobi— a man who is unexpectedly attentive, disarmingly gentle, and far too good at making Anakin forget what he's supposed to be. What starts as a delicately negotiated arrangement quickly turns into something neither of them handles cleanly.

    And Anakin is no longer sure where the boundaries of the arrangement are, or whether he ever really wanted them in the first place.
