Ribbons and Wrapping Paper
Anakin let out a soft sigh, rubbing his hands gingerly through his hair. How could his little Ahsoka have guys after her already? She was growing up so quickly, though her sarcasm from the first day he met her did not fade. He looked towards her direction, shoving her holocomm slyly into his back pocket. That ought to keep her attention away from him.
He sidled off beside her, folding his gloves and placing them behind himself. His weary eyes widened at the mess that soon bestowed itself in front of them, gritting his teeth in surprise.
He looks away for less than five seconds, and this is what happens?
Obi Wan, muffled under layers of wrapping paper, bits of ribbon and sparkles sticking to his beard. He looked anxiously, letting out a gag as the ribbon tightened. Ahsoka's "human" friend leaned over him with a mysterious bunch of plants, two little red berries trembling from her fingertips. Ahsoka turned slowly, her smile so big it almost stretched off her face. Anakin swallowed.
TWO SECONDS. I LOOKED AWAY FOR TWO BLASTED SECONDS.
"Sorry, Master. We were trying to teach Obi-Wan how to properly wrap presents..."
Anakin held back a laugh as the girl leaned towards the secured Jedi, puckering her lips softly near his chin. Obi-Wan had never felt so much fear, so much agony; in any moment in his entire lifetime.
"...But as you can tell, things got a little wrapped up."
She let out a snort, stumbling towards the tree and waving her empty mug in the air. Anakin felt his confusion grow, and he tilted his head. Was this Christmas, the holiday she was speaking of? It had very odd rituals--from wrapping visitors to trying to kiss them. But despite all of the chaos (most likely the reason he wasn't so concerned because he wasn't on the end of all of it,) it was...relaxing. No slicing droids, no missions, no plans.
Just happy chaos.
With another sigh, he leaned on the wall and stared at the decorations. He could get very used to it. He didn't stir as Obi Wan spat out the ribbon from his mouth, shouting at him.
"CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE, ANAKIN! THIS GIRL IS TRYING TO KISS ME!"
Yeah, he could used to this.
