Obvious (Star Wars, Obi/Ani, 270 Words) Fandom: Star Wars Title: Obvious Author:jarkai Theme(s): (For 30 Somethings, Nights Prompt Table: #1 Blindness) Pairing/Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker Rating: PG-13, implied slash. Disclaimer/claimer: All characters owned by George Lucas. Critiques: Yes. Summary: With these two, some things never change. The cave's darkness was complete. Even if they had been free, neither Anakin nor Obi-Wan could have seen a hand in front of their faces. In the distance water dripped, and the floor was cold and more than a little damp beneath their splayed legs.
Anakin grunted with the effort of getting free, annoyed at getting caught yet again. He twisted in his bindings, but the damn things wouldn't budge. "You'd think that they'd come up with something new sometimes."
"Have to give them something to do," Obi-Wan huffed. He lurched backward, jerking on the ropes, and nearly sprawled Anakin face down to the cave floor.
Anakin righted himself, sputtering. "Force, Obi-Wan! Not so hard!"
There was a small laugh, and a sharper lurch. This time the Jedi Knight did fall. Obi-Wan's laughter echoed off cave walls as Anakin landed with a splash.
"Fuck," Anakin flailed on the wet cave floor, his hands still bound behind his back.
Obi-Wan's laughter grew even louder, cut short suddenly by the sound of Anakin's full body tackle. Somehow the ropes that had bound them together had come undone, but those that trapped their hands remained fast. Both men hit the ground with a thud, chests bumping, legs kicking, each trying to keep the other down. They were so into besting each other that neither one heard their captors enter the cave. Even the flickering light of the torches did not distract them from their play.
"So, it is true then." The gruff voice of the leader was the thing that finally roused them. "You are a team."
