On the run
Obi-wan groaned waking up. His shoulder felt like pins and needles. Now that he thought about it the icy ground didn't help any either, his tunic and robes gave him warmth though. There was something else that was warm against his side.
Obi-wan rolled over onto his good side so he could face the warmth. It was strange to Obi-wan, he seemed to of buried his face into the source of the warmth. It had felt nice to Obi-wan and he had cuddled into the warmth. He had heard someone say something, but he ignored it and wrapped his arm around the wriggling warmth to keep it still. He had felt so tired and sore, this nice warmth had helped him relax.
Obi-wan smiled as the warmth had stopped moving around and held it as tightly to him as his arm and shoulder would let him. Than he heard the voice clearer.
"Master?"
Obi-wan groaned as he opened his eyes to look at who ever was the owner of the voice. He saw a red and black chest in front of his face first. Confused he looked up and saw Maul's face looking down at him with worry and some embarrassment.
"Maul?" Obi-wan said in the haze of his sleep. Obi-wan went to rub the sleepiness from his eyes until he hissed from a sharp pain in his shoulder. He jumped as he felt Maul rub his eyes for him. Maul's hands were gentle as they rubbed Obi-wan's eyes.
"Is that better Master?" Maul asked and Obi-wan couldn't help but feel his face heat up as he realized that Maul had been the source of the warmth. He had cuddled up right against Maul's body.
"Master, are you feeling okay?" Maul asked concerned
"Uh, y-yeah. I'm feeling okay." Obi-wan responded and Maul had sat up. He had taken some bacta packs out of his pocket.
"Here let me help you." Maul said as Obi-wan went to sit up as well. Maul had pull Obi-wan slowly and gently into a sitting position. The after effects of sleeping quickly wore off when Obi-wan noticed that he had a tunic and robes on. The Jedi Knight looked down to see that he was wearing a black tunic and black robes. He saw that the bottom of the robes had been torn. He looked at Maul reminding himself that the younger man was shirtless in front of him and that Obi-wan was wearing black clothing. It had finally clicked in Obi-wan's head that he was wearing Maul's clothes.
"Maul, why do I have your clothes on?" Obi-wan asked looking down at the ground and seeing Maul starting to take off the robe.
"You were getting cold and I didn't grab your clothes from the room. I'm sorry Master." Maul said looking down as if he did something bad and was going to be punished for it as he removed the robe and tunic from Obi-wan carefully.
"It's okay Maul." Obi-wan smiled softly at Maul and placed a hand on Maul's cheek. Maul whined at Obi-wan's kindness, he was so unuse to in his life. Maul looked up at Obi-wan and he pressed his cheek into the soft and welcoming hand.
"I must take a look at your shoulder Master." Maul said looking back down as he started at removing the pieces of fabric from around the scar. Once both pieces of fabric were removed, Maul gentle prodded around the scar that was covered in a faded green goo.
"Does this hurt?" Maul asked looking at Obi-wan.
"Barely." Obi-wan replied and Maul grabbed some of the bacta packs that he pulled out of his pocket and he opened them.
"It would be best if we didn't mess with the scar itself for now." Maul said very carefully applying the bacta to the scar. Maul's hand shook as he was scared he would put too much pressure and cause the scar to tear open again. Although Obi-wan knew Maul would have to apply some kind of pressure to get the bacta to stick to the scar to heal it. Obi-wan took his left hand and placed it on Maul's to help steady his hand help him apply pressure. Maul looked up at Obi-wan when he saw Obi-wan's hand on his.
"I understand you not wanting to hurt me, but you must apply pressure for the bacta to work well. Don't be afraid to use a little pressure Maul." Obi-wan said as they finished applying the bacta. Maul had wrapped the pieces of fabric back around the scar so nothing else would be able to get into the scar to infect it. Maul helped Obi-wan back into the tunic and robe so he wouldn't get cold.
"Aren't you cold too Maul?" Obi-wan asked looking at Maul and at how they were sleeping on the bare floor of some warehouse.
"I naturally have a warmer body compared to humans, I don't get cold easily." Maul shook his head and Obi-wan couldn't help, but feel a bit jealous. It was cold where they were and Obi-wan tried to keep himself from shivering. If he shivered, Maul would get worried and he didn't want Maul to be worried. In Maul's mind, Obi-wan was strong so that's exactly what he tried to look like even if Obi-wan found it adorable.
Obi-wan slowly stood up and looked around. He knew they had to be in the lower levels of Coruscant. The Jedi were probably looking for them. Obi-wan wanted to go back and demand for answers, but he knew that would be a trap. They would try keeping him there if he didn't take Maul with him and if he did they would just try separating them again. Obi-wan wasn't surprised at all that Maul had lashed out at the Jedi Masters. His scar had opened up and and Maul had sensed his pain. In Maul's mind, it was his duty to protect and care for Obi-wan. Obi-wan couldn't help, but feel happy as Maul helped him especially when Maul was trying to help apply the bacta to the scar. When he pulled himself from his thoughts he realized he was shivering and he felt Maul walk up behind him. Maul had wrapped his arms around Obi-wan and pulled him against him.
"If you were cold you could have just told me, Master. I would happily warm you." Maul said and Obi-wan blushed at Maul's growing boldness.
"We'll have to leave Coruscant Maul. The other Jedi will be look for us." Obi-wan said leaning into Maul's warm body.
"Where will we go, Master?" Maul asked
"I know of a few places we could go to." Obi-wan said and Maul decided not to press for more answers for now as he happily held Obi-wan close to him.
