Torn Asunder

Chapter 1: New Kid

No warnings, just setup.

It was the first day of your junior year of high school when you met him. Your class was small, only 56 strong, and most of you had been in school together since kindergarten, so it wasn't easy for the new kid to blend in. That didn't stop him from trying to keep a low profile in the back of the room.

You were immediately captivated. There was something about his stormy blue eyes that drew you in. You tried to send a small, friendly smile his way when you made eye contact, but he quickly averted his eyes to the textbook on his desk, hiding behind his long fringe of curly dark blonde hair. You leaned over to your good friend Aayla to ask, "Know anything about the new kid?"

"I saw his family moving into the house down the street last week. But I don't know his name," she whispered.

The bell rang, signaling the start of first period, which was Calculus on "A" days. The whispered conversations contined as friends caught up with one another until the teacher, Mr. Mundi, stepped over to his computer and began roll call. Familiar names sounded off, until you heard, "Anakin Skywalker?"

"Here," you heard the boy finally speak from the back row. The volume of whispers grew as everyone turned to look at him. You felt embarrassed for...Anakin. What a unique name. Hardly anything new and exciting happened in this small town, so it would be a while before the novelty wore off.

"Welcome, Mr. Skywalker. I trust that your classmates will make you feel welcome and stop staring shortly." He raised an eyebrow and looked across the room, passive-aggressively guilting the offending students into facing forward once more. Once roll call was finished, Mr. Mundi stepped over to the lectern to begin a review of algebra concepts from the spring semester before starting new material.

You and Anakin had the same class schedule until lunch. You've never been the "new kid," but you've watched enough cliché movies to know that someone should help him find the cafeteria and offer him a seat. May as well be you...so you caught him on the way out of class.

"Hi!" You chirped as you waved to get his attention and flashed the warm smile from earlier.

"Uh, hi." A slight smile tugged at the corners of his mouth before he cast his eyes back to the floor.

"So your name is Anakin?" [mental facepalm...real smooth]

"Last I checked. And your name is Y/N, right?" at least keeping eye contact again.

You were top of your class, yet the depth of those eyes reduced you to a bumbling idiot. "Uh...yeah! Last I checked," you replied with a soft nervous chuckle. Finally you got your wits about you once more. "Since we've had all the same classes this morning, I thought maybe you'd like a familiar face to show you to the cafeteria."

Without skipping a beat, "Are you asking me out on a date?" he said flatly.

"WHAT?! No, I...I..." You felt your cheeks stain red as your heart recovered from flatlining.

Suddenly, a huge grin flashed across his face. "I kid, I kid. That is nice of you to offer. Lead the way."

Basic Obi Kenobi is my spirit animal.

Kaf — Obi-Wan Kenobi

AN OBI-WAN KENOBI x READER DRABBLE

description: it’s the little things for obi, including waking up just to get his favorite drink

warnings: none, just fluff and soft obi

a/n: this is so sickenly sweet i hate it and love it at the same time. but yeah, this is another little fall fic for obi bc im tryna churn some of those out and i thought this was a funny and cute lil idea (yes it’s basically a pumpkin spice latte lol)

words: 310

“Hey,”

You groaned as Obi-Wan tried to gently coax you awake with his whispers. At least he was trying to be considerate, but groggy you was still pissed at being awoken from your slumber.

“Hey, y/n, my love, let’s get something to eat,”

“Obi, how do I put this…” you rolled over and pressed your head into his chest for warmth, “It’s too fucking early,” You felt the little rumble in his chest as he laughed at your snarky response. This wasn’t new though, his waking up early, but he usually let you stay asleep, only accidentally stirring you with a kiss to your forehead, the rest of your face usually buried in blankets. He just ran his hands through your hair, then along your forearms to warm you up from the first cold night of Coruscanti fall.

“I want to go to the diner,” he told you. Then it clicked.

“Oh my stars, are you waking me up just so you can get kaf?” You would’ve been irritated at his excuse for waking you if you didnt find it adorable. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, accomplished warrior and revered around the galaxy, was trying to get you up because he was excited over a seasonal drink.

Autumn Spice Kaf only came around this time of year, and Obi-Wan made sure to get his fill before it was gone. Cup after cup…after cup, he downed the kaf. You didn’t understand why he loved them, especially considering he was typically more of a tea fan. You thought it was way too sweet, but he was addicted.

You sighed, “Ten more minutes and then we’ll go get you an Autumn Spice Kaf,”

“Thank you, love,”

You didnt have to look it know that he was smiling. It was the cute little things about him that would usually surprise people, like his childish excitement for a sweet treat, that made you feel lucky that he was your Obi-Wan.

Short girl problems.

Stretch Marks

CW: Pregnancy (post-partum), body image, foreplay and implied smut.

A/N: This is my first ever Tumblr post. Please be gentle.

Summary: Ben worships your stretch marks (contemporary AU Obi-wan)

*************************************************

You sat on the edge of the bed in a tank top and underwear, staring at your closet in exasperation. Ben could feel your angst through the Force, so he came upstairs to check on you. "Why so glum, chum?" he asked in an annoyingly chipper voice.

After a quick glare, you responded with a pout. "None of my cute clothes fit anymore." You and Ben were invited out to a Halloween party downtown. You hadn't been "out" in the night scene in more than a year, and lots had changed since then. You were three months post-partum and your body was still adjusting to its new norm. Your mother happily volunteered to watch the twins to allow you and Ben some time away, so you didn't really have a good excuse to bow out. Shopping for clothes had been the furthest thing from your mind, so you rummaged through the closet while the babies napped.

"What about that black number with ruffled sleeves," he asked. It was one of his favorites.

"It's tight across my chest now," you huffed while he eyes flashed and a slight smirk appeared on his face for a fraction of a second. He held himself back from coming closer to cup your breasts in his hand, sensing that you probably weren't in any mood to be physical.

"Ah, yes, well - what about that sparkly, uh...oh, what do you call it? It's stretchy," as he gestured across his chest.

Trying not to laugh at his attempts to be helpful, you responded with a slight chortle, "the bandeau top? Maybe in a previous life, but not now." Probably not ever again. Your eyes dropped to the floor.

He stepped closer to where you were seated on the bed and gently pulled your chin up with his index finger. "What's going on behind those beautiful [y/c] eyes of yours?"

"I...I...don't want anyone looking at my stomach," you said. You got up to face the full length mirror, crossing your arms across your body as if giving yourself a hug. It was never going to look the same again. Thanks to your short stature and waist, your babies had nowhere to grow but out, stretching the skin over your abdomen and hips to near breaking point. You were now branded with reddish-pink scars running down the length of your bulging tummy and wider hips. So much for wearing those unforgiving pre-pregnancy jeans for a while.

Ben came up behind you and set his chin on your shoulder. He placed his hands on your hips, burying his lips into the crook of your neck and slowly inching his fingers under your shirt. "Even me? I'm not just anyone."

"Maybe you, if the lights are dimmed." Your hands stopped his from snaking under your clothes. You and he hadn't been intimate since the babies were born. Life as new parents (x2) had been exhausting, and you really hadn't felt up to it anyway.

Ben spun you around and leaned against the wall, one hand on each side of your head. His nose nuzzled yours for a second, then he stared into your eyes. Gah, those blue orbs were mesmerizing. "But I want to see you."

"Have you really taken a look at me since Ahna and Ashla were born?" You weren't sure how Ben could possibly look at you the same after seeing you in the delivery room spread eagle on the table, legs in stirrups, screaming like a banshee as each of the twins crowned. He had seen a lot in his lifetime, but you saw him grow pale after he snuck a peek, quickly regretting and resuming his focus on your white knuckles threatening to crush his hand. Nevermind all of the leaking afterward...eyes that constantly teared up from the hormonal rollercoaster ride, nipples that oozed with just a whimper from any baby, not just yours, and the war zone between your legs. And then mother nature threw in a period not too long after. You felt gross, and you're not sure how he could possibly think otherwise.

"You don't realize how utterly amazing you are," he sighed, taking your previous spot on the edge of the bed, motioning for you to come sit in his lap. You oblige and sit sideways, your legs perpendicular to his.

He wrapped one arm behind your back and rested the other in your lap, gently stroking your hands that nearly broke his three months prior. "You were breathtakingly beautiful before falling pregnant, but I now have so much more respect for what your body can do. You don't give it enough credit. This body was a vessel for the Force to materialize into not just one, but two new lives. I watched as your body adapted to make a home for our daughters - the very manifestations of our love for each other. It was miraculous. I was left in awe at your body's strength as you delivered them earthside. And this same body continues to nourish them. You were always my angel, Y/N, but now...now you're a glorious goddess in my eyes. A goddess who should be revered."

Ben stood you up, facing him. Once again, his hands started snaking up your shirt. You didn't stop him, so he continued until he pulled it off over your head. His face was at eye level with your tummy. You held your breath, resisting the urge to bring your arms over your abs to hide. Gently, he placed light kisses to the side of your belly button. His fingers traced the length of your stretch marks. Your breath hitched as you felt a familiar warmth spreading through the pit of your stomach and legs.

"Different isn't bad, Y/N. For example, these hips are much more fun to grab and will be great for guiding my thrusts," he playfully growled. Suddenly, Ben flipped you over, wearing a huge mischievous grin on his face. Your back was on the bed and your knees at his hips. He stood over you, looking you up and down. "My goddess." He leaned down to kiss at the bottom of your sternum. You couldn't help but moan lightly. His hands slipped under your back to unhook your bra. After fumbling a bit -- he was never great with bras -- he tossed it to the side. "And these," interrupted by a sultry lick to your right breast, "are a sculpted work of art."

He buried his face between your engorged breasts as you arch your back in response. You noticed how much more space they took up in his large hands. And then you realized...

"Karabast," you muttered.

"What is it, angel?" he asked with a puzzled tone. Then, as if on cue, you heard Ashla begin to fuss over the baby monitor. "Oh...." he said. His head hung down with disappointment, his forehead resting on your collarbone.

"Whelp, duty calls." You rolled to the side to stand up, leaving Ben laying on the bed. You walked into the next room and got the twins settled on the nursing pillow. They stared up at you, and you hoped they'd keep their father's blue eyes.

Ben soon appeared in the nursery doorway, arms crossed, head and shoulder leaning gently against the frame. The fiery playful lust in his eyes had morphed into a loving gleam as he took in the sight of his three loves. You saw an idea dawn on him, and then he stepped away.

You heard shuffling in your bedroom. Within a few minutes, Ben appeared in the nursery with a nursing tank top and black leggings. You raised an eyebrow in confusion mixed with curiosity. He stopped at the doorway and appeared to be distracted by a thought. He held up one finger (silently indicating "hold on") and went back to the bedroom. He returned with one of his green plaid flannel shirts and your black riding boots.

"Here, I think this will look cute on you. Maybe you could tie up the front of my shirt like that one time you paraded around the band hall in college, acting like a farm girl trying to get that trumpet player's attention," his mischievous grin returned.

"Ben Kenobi!" you exclaimed, feigning irritation while grinning, and then shushed yourself after Ahna startled. "I distinctly remember trying to get YOUR attention."

"Well, it worked. It was a good look on you. And now you're stuck with me," he smiled softly and rested his eyes on yours.

"Indeed I am. I can think of worse positions to be in." Ben turned around to go get himself dressed when you said, "Hey, speaking of positions, maybe we can excuse ourselves from the party a little early and finish that conversation we started before we pick up the girls from Mom."

"How can a mere mortal say no to his goddess?" His eyes sparkled with possibility.
