Fresh from a long hot shower, the tall stately Jedi Master stood alone in his bed chamber looking absently in the small wall mounted mirror. He gingerly touched the flushed skin of his cheekbones and ran his fingertips through his closely cropped goatee and moustache. The once mocha brown hairs there were quickly turning silver, and the once smooth skin of the forehead and cheeks were becoming more and more lined. He sighed softly and turned his back to the mirror.

Though not a vain man in any sense of the word, he still couldn't help feeling a little... old. It didn't help that his birthday was just a few days away either.

Another year gone by.

He shook his head and strands of brown hair escaping from the leather tong, skittered across his forehead. He took a moment to tuck them neatly back into place.

Qui-Gon Jinn, wrapping his lounge robe closer about his body, crossed the room and sat at his writing desk. Maybe some work would take his mind off of his age. He stared down at the comchips scattered across the table top, but did not see them. He was preoccupied. He was thinking about his young nubile lover, his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Just passing his 27th birthday, Obi-Wan didn't seem to mind getting older. In fact, the boy appeared to relish the fact that he would eventually be a Jedi elder and have an opportunity to sit on the council. He had stated many times over that he had no problem with getting on in the years.

/ He won't have a problem, until he's there / Qui-Gon thought smiling.

Qui-Gon, realizing that his concentration had eluded his grasp, and that he most likely wouldn't get any work done, folded his hands across his midsection and nestled back in the chair.

A knock at the door broke him from his reverie.

"Come!" he shouted not turning to face the door, for he knew who the visitor was.

"Master," said the warm low voice behind him.

Qui-Gon stopped himself from shuddering, hearing the smile in that voice. Obi-Wan could wrap him about his little finger with just a simple wicked inflection of his manicured voice. And sometimes, to his amused dismay, he knew Obi-Wan knew that.

"You've been hiding..." Obi-Wan teased, resting his hands on his master's shoulders.

Qui-Gon slouched in the chair, his heart picking up speed. He could feel the threat of a helpless moan welling up in his throat as Obi-Wan's braid glanced his ear.

"No," he answered ever the stolid Jedi Master. "I am working."

Obi-Wan's chuckle came instantly and he moved his hands from his master's broad shoulders to run them into his loose slightly damp thick hair. He loved touching his master's chocolate and silver mane for it soothed him completely. He combed it through with his fingers and bent to inhale its clean scent.

"No," Obi-Wan said softly, contradicting him, "you are hiding. Are you hiding from me?"

Not wanting to argue, Qui-Gon closed his eyes and relaxed beneath his Padawan's deft fingers. He was thankful that his robe was loose enough to hide his immediate and immense arousal. He didn't want Obi-Wan to think that the merest of touches would easily excite him to stiff erections. Though, of that too, he knew Obi-Wan was well aware.

Obi-Wan remained quiet for a long time, just massaging his lover's tense shoulders before he realized the root of Qui-Gon's distress. At first he'd suspected it was something he'd done wrong and had come to apologize for whatever it was. But after spending a little time probing his master's bare thoughts, he found the truth.

Obi-Wan leaned down to Qui-Gon, brushed aside his luxurious hair and whispered close to his ear,

"Master... you are not close to being old."

Qui-Gon opened his mouth to dispute his Padawan, but Obi-Wan interrupted him.

"In fact, master, you're getting younger right before my eyes."

He smiled brushing his fingers delicately along Qui-Gon's temples and then added playfully, eyeing the bulge beneath the drape of his tunic,

"And... a little bigger..."

Qui-Gon groaned inwardly sliding even farther into the chair. Nothing escaped his Padawan's keen sense of humor.

Obi-Wan gently kissed the space right behind his master's ear and moved his mouth to gently suck the fleshy earlobe between his teeth. Qui-Gon's breath escaped him in a satisfied ragged sigh, and his eyes rolled up in his head. The heat of his apprentice's tongue and lips, slowly working in and around his ear made the deeply seated groan he'd been holding rumble from his throat. He surrendered to Obi-Wan's caress as the throbbing between his thighs became unbearable. He craved the release his lover promised.

Sensing that his master had placed himself at his mercy, Obi-Wan slipped his hand down the broad sturdy chest. He eased his hand in between the creme colored folds of material, pushed back the front flap and teased one nipple erect with the pad of his thumb. Qui-Gon braced himself against the shiver that raced up his spine and let his head fall back against Obi-Wan's belly.

Obi-Wan, lifting his hand moved it upward to cup and turn Qui-Gon's rough chin. He brought his mouth within inches of his lover's and snaked his tongue out to lick along those ruddy lips. Their breaths mingled as softly murmured words spun into soft gasps. Holding him still, Obi-Wan tangled his fingers into Qui-Gon's thick hair and continued to suck and lick at his lips.

"Not old at all..." Obi-Wan sighed, stroking his master's face.

He looked down into dark eyes lit with a most grateful smile before bending to kiss those luscious lips again. Obi-Wan opened his mouth, claiming his master's, the kiss needy and wet between them. He pushed his slippery agile tongue between Qui-Gon's lips and their tongues battled briefly. He closed his eyes, reeling from the realization of what he was going to do to his master to prove that age wasn't everything.

Obi-Wan straightened, his jade eyes gleaming wickedly down at his elder and then he swiveled the chair around to make him face him. His eyes dropped down to where the robe gaped and revealed a strong lightly furred chest. Obi-Wan bit his bottom lip, never having seen his master in such a state of mental disarray. The distraught thoughts and memories of youth lost wafted from Qui-Gon and assaulted Obi-Wan's mental barriers making the younger man experience them as if they had been his own. Compassion flooded into his heart and tears moistened his eyes.

"Master..." he gasped dropping to his knees before him, his green eyes wide with disbelief.

How could his master even entertain the notions that were running rampant in his mind?

Obi-Wan grasped Qui-Gon's splayed knees.

"Master... I love you more than you could know! I would never leave you!"

Qui-Gon smiled at his beloved, reaching out to trail his fingers across his worry creased forehead and down his smooth cheek.

/ I know, my love. I know /

Obi-Wan caught the wandering hand in his and pressed kisses to the fingertips.

"See these calluses?" he whispered, stroking his tongue up and down the sides of his master's fingers, "it's the sign of hard work and dedication, not age. You needn't worry."

Qui-Gon watched his Padawan, breathless from the flare of desire that quickened the ache between his thighs. It wasn't so much that his Padawan was kneeling before him, lavishing kisses to his fingers and palm, that was the crux of his lust, but it was the intoxicating familiarity that flowed like wine between them. It was comforting to have the younger man know him so well.

Obi-Wan looked up and smiled at his master, before moving easily between his knees. He leaned down, opening the robe with one hand, but only as much as to expose him from the waist up. He kissed the taut belly that had not yet gone soft, licking the trail of brown hair that arrowed away from his belly button. Qui-Gon shifted in the chair and Obi-Wan felt his rock hard erection nudge his chest.

Qui-Gon heard him chuckle and say, "Relax, master. This will take a while."

He had planned a long luxurious bout of kissing every part of his master's body, describing in detail how much he desired each wrinkle and curve. He wanted to be in control, and blissfully remained unaware of Qui-Gon's contrasting designs.

An extremely challenging smile tugged at Qui-Gon's lips and he placed a hand against the back of Obi-Wan's head. Tangling his fingers around the ponytail, he roughly jerked his head back. Surprise coloured with pain brightened in Obi-Wan's handsome face and he searched Qui-Gon's amused eyes for an explanation for his rash behavior. His master cupped his head and stood, pulling him upright. The Jedi Master gazed down at his Padawan, feeling the smile lingering on his lips broaden.

Obi-Wan could see the predatory glint in the blue eyes pinned to his and he didn't dare let his eyes move to where his master's robe fell entirely open. He inhaled his warm clean scent, unable to bite back the grin that threatened at his lips.

"Mas--"

Qui-Gon pressed his fingers to the youth's moist mouth and shook his head slowly. He swiftly covered Obi-Wan's mouth with his, pulling his lithe body up against his naked skin. He unceremoniously thrust his tongue into the warm receiving mouth, stroking it over and around Obi-Wan's. The boy, swept up with his own excitement, whimpered into the hot consuming kiss and reached up to clasp his arms about his master's neck.

Obi-Wan pressed hard against him, using his free hand to reach down and take his master's stiff dripping cock. The touch electrified Qui-Gon, sending shards of ecstasy shooting into his brain and mercilessly he deepened the kiss, yanking the wicked young god closer to him. He could taste how submissive, how willing to be abused Obi-Wan was and it turned him on even more.

Obi-Wan finally eased out of the kiss and moved his mouth to suck and lick at the sensitive arch of his master's throat.

Qui-Gon breathed out hard, knowing if his Padawan continued he wouldn't be able to remain upright much longer. His talented fingers stroked his master into a shuddering frenzy, eliciting loud helpless moans from him. He lifted his head, devouring Qui-Gon's open mouth and with each jerk of his slick hand, matching the spastic thrusts of his hips, Obi-Wan plunged his tongue in and out between his master's lips. Without slowing the pumping of his hand he closed his other arm about his master's strong body.

Qui-Gon closed his eyes, tipping his head back, his lips slipping away from Obi-Wan's. He widened his stance, trying desperately to keep his balance and reached down to cup Obi-Wan's head while the boy bent to flick his nipples erect. The violent upheaval of emotion and pleasure exploded passed his crumbling barriers and he cried out, his voice hot and ecstatic near screaming.

Control melted from his grasp. He sang Obi-Wan's luscious name, jetting hot seed all over Obi-Wan's frantically working hand. As blackness flooded in upon his senses, he thought he heard the throaty laugh of his impish Padawan.

Qui-Gon opened his eyes what he thought must have been only a moment later. He sat up, startled to find himself in bed and giving the room a quick sweep, he saw that Obi-Wan was no where to be found. Swinging his legs over the side of the bed and pulling his robe over his rested naked body, he padded across the cool floor to his writing desk to where he saw a neatly folded paper note.

Unfolding it gently, Qui-Gon read silently:

"My beloved master. I love you more than my meager words can describe. I only hope that this love will fill the emptiness that haunts you. Happy Birthday."

/ Thank you, Padawan /

Qui-Gon smiled to himself, tucking the note in his pocket. Then he caught himself. He could not remember what it was that had upset him and again he thanked Obi-Wan.
