Reader, Tristain.
Snoring lightly, the young Obi-Wan's arm lay draped tenderly
across Qui-Gon's chest. The older Jedi smiled. The young man
was deep in sleep. Qui-Gon turned slowly and looked at the
young Padawan sleeping. In the depth of his slumber, the young
Jedi wasn't aware he was pressed so closely to his master's
body. Rippling the force around him, Qui-Gon could feel the
heat and the scent of the young man's body as it pressed next
to him.
After having taken a long shower, Obi-Wan had finally come to
bed. He had put on more bedclothes than necessary. No amount of
clothing could hide the young Jedi's 18 yr old body. Even as
the Obi-Wan lay sleeping, his body was traitorous. Qui-Gon
could feel the Padawan's manhood pressed against his hip.
As he slept, Obi-Wan began to mumble. Then, he began to rub
against his Master's body. Qui-Gon took a deep breath and
contemplated the situation. If he woke the boy, it would
embarrass the young man needlessly. The older Jedi needed the
boy's mind and his spirit to be at peace if there was to be any
hope in their helping to resolve the dispute between Baldur and
its twin planet Alfadur.
Qui-Gon closed his eyes and waved his hand softly over the
sleeping boy's face. He concentrated the Force to keep the
young Jedi in his deep dream state. The Master watched the
boy's face. The full sensuous lips of Obi-Wan were pursed
together, mimicking a kiss. The young Padawan continued to rub
his body up against his Master's. Qui-Gon laid still and
allowed the young man to use him for his relief. He would,
after all, believe it was another nocturnal emission. It took
all the training and determination that Qui-Gon could muster to
keep him from grabbing. The older man knew the moment for such
a thing was not right. A Master couldn't force himself in such
an intimate way upon a student. The beginning of a sexual
relationship had to be something the young Padawan agreed upon.
A Padawan must never feel forced or coerced into such a
relationship. That step had to be reached mutually and with the
Padawan's explicit consent.
Qui-Gon could tell the young Padawan was near climax. He could
sense the boy's increased heartbeat and breathing. The Force
was great during heightened sexual peaks. Obi-Wan began to
whimper and tightened his grip around his Master's chest. The
thrusts of his manhood grew faster. Qui-Gon wondered what dream
could have brought his young serious Jedi to such sexual
abandonment? He then felt the boy shiver.
Then he felt the warm growing wetness of the boy's release.
Qui-Gon continued to manipulate the force over the boy to
insure that he would continue to sleep until morning.
The Master got out of the bed and quickly entered the bathroom.
He stood before the mirror and shook his head. This wouldn't be
so hard if his own emotions weren't clouding his mind.
An hour later, young Obi-Wan Kenobi began to wake up. He slowly
opened his eyes. Suddenly, he sat up in the bed and put his
hand down upon his crotch. He was wet. It hadn't been a dream.
He had another nocturnal emission, and this time he hadn't been
alone. On the other hand, had he been?
Obi-Wan could only pray to the Force that his Master had risen
before his little 'accident'. He knew he could not face such an
embarrassment. Obi-Wan quickly got out of bed and prepared
himself for his second day upon the ship Absyrtus.
After having their first meal of the day, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan
walked along the corridors of the ship. They nodded to the
passing Calydonian crewmembers.
"Listen carefully my young Padawan, I think it is time you knew
more about our mission".
"Yes, Master." Obi-Wan walked in step with his Master. His
hands in the large open sleeves and yet they were only a blink
away from his light saber.
"We are on our way to the planet Baldur. The planet is being
ruled by King Aby'dos. However, it has a twin planet called
Alfadur. A monarch called, King Clotho is sovereign of that
planet. Both these planets share a moon called Ymir. There has
been peace among both planets for over 1000 years. This harmony
between them has existed because both royal families have been
related by marriage. Nevertheless, for the last century or so
that link has been weak because each King has born only girls
and no sons. Now finally both King Aby'dos and King Clotho each
have a son to once more restore the marriage link that keeps
them at peace. Yet, according to the Baldur ambassador who
brought the issue to the Jedi Council, that link has collapsed.
Somehow, the marriage link has turned to talk of war, and we
are being sent to prevent that from happening. We must find out
what happened; resolve it, and restore centuries of peace to
these two planets."
"Master, you said that both Kings have borne sons and therefore
enabled the marriage link. Why are the sons important to the
issue? Why not their daughters?"
"Custom of the Baldur/Alfadur planets is the marriage between
princes. Prince Boreas, son of Aby'dos, is betrothed to Prince
Dardanus, son of King Clotho, because that is their custom."
Qui-Gon could feel the rise of Obi-Wan's sudden apprehension.
"Is there something wrong Padawan? Does this mission for some
reason trouble you?" "No Master, I am just sometimes so amazed
at the different customs among the many planetary systems in
the galaxy. I was raised inside the Jedi Temple, and therefore
a bit shut off from the world. "
"As Jedi we must learn to accept that which is different. We
must be of open heart and open mind young Padawan."
"Yes, Master."
"You are essential for this mission Obi-Wan because the Princes
are both young and near your age. They will probably feel more
comfortable in confiding in you. It might enable us find out
what the problem is and find a quick resolution."
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were suddenly interrupted by a crewmember.
The Calydonian bowed to both Jedi. "Greetings, I am here to
invite you both to our crew lounge. There will be a feast and
recital in your honor."
Qui-Gon bowed, "we shall be honored by your hospitality".
Obi-Wan bowed also and smiled to the Calydonian.
Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon followed the humanoid and soon arrived at
the crew lounge area. The room's walls were covered in mirrors.
There was a large table where Calydonian customary food and
drinks were being served. Qui-Gon smiled to his Padawan and
nudged him to mingle and enjoy this respite before getting to
Baldur.
Obi-Wan walked over to the drink area and got himself some Yama
wine. It was a sweet and floral tasting wine. It had a sharp
potency and Obi-Wan could feel its effects immediately. He was
not used to mind/body altering substances.
The young Jedi turned to look at himself in the mirror. He
looked at his face and suddenly stuck his tongue out at his
reflection. A small giggle reached his ears. It had come from
across the room.
A young Calydonian crew member walked over to him.
"Why did you make that face? It was quite amusing, will you do
it again please?"
"Thank you for the complement, but I believe it was the
delicious Yama wine that induced me to such facial expression."
Obi-Wan said and hoped he hadn't offended the man.
The Calydonian looked at himself in the mirror nearest him and
began to make the same expression as Obi-Wan had done. Both
young men began to laugh. Obi-Wan couldn't remember the last
time he chuckled over anything as silly as making faces.
"You are even prettier when you laugh Jedi."
Obi-Wan froze but remained composed. He needed to remember that
the Calydonians were a vain race. For any of them to give
another race, such a complement was considered the zenith of
gratitude and graciousness. "Thank you very much. You are very
pretty also." Obi-Wan said, knowing he was required to return
the gesture.
"I am called Verdandi. Would you like to see my garden? I was
allowed to bring back a few flowers from Calydones. We have the
most beautiful flowers in the universe."
Obi-Wan bowed, "I will be honored. Let me inform my Master
before we leave."
Qui-Gon was chatting with a few of the crewmembers when his
young apprentice approached him.
"Master, my new friend Verdandi has asked me to come see his
flower collection. With your permission?" Obi-Wan asked, hoping
that his Master wouldn't grant it. Besides, he was beginning to
get a strange 'feeling' about his new friend, and being alone
with him only heightened the feeling.
Qui-Gon could feel his Padawan's apprehension but figured this
was a necessary experience for the young man. "Permission
granted Obi-Wan. Enjoy yourself. I will speak to you later."
Obi-Wan was about to say something when he felt a hand encircle
his own.
"Come along Obi-Wan, your Master has granted you permission."
Verdandi said and pulled the young Jedi out the lounge door.
Qui-Gon watched the reluctant boy leave but smiled knowing a
good time was probably going to be had.
