If requests are open and youâre cool with it, could I maybe request a doodle of Anakin kneeling (interpret that however you like đ)âwith Obi-Wan in the frame, looking... entirely unimpressed or smug?
(Obi-Wan is not there but his big fat presence is. Enjoy anon!)
The hallway echoed with sharp footsteps and silence between themâan execution march.
Obi-Wanâs grip clamped tight around Anakinâs arm, dragging him like a disobedient cadet down the temple corridor.
The chamber door slid open.
He shoved Anakin inside. Hard.
Anakin stumbledâthen Obi-Wanâs hand snapped forward, yanked him by the front of his tunic, and threw him to the ground.
âOn your knees. Now.â
He droppedâhard, gasping as his knees slammed the floor.
Thenâfingers in his hair. A fist in his curls. Holding.
âYou want to scream at the Council like a brat ?â Obi-Wanâs voice was low, lethal. âThen youâll kneel like one.â
Anakin said nothing. Couldnât. The room itself was pressing down on him.
âYou disrespected Master Windu. You shouted over Master Yoda. You dismissed Master Kolar like he was a senatorâs errand boy.â
âAnd then you looked at me. Like Iâd fix it. Like Iâd clean up your mess.â
He stopped in front of him.
Obi-Wan yanked his hairâjust enough to make him obey.
Anakin lifted his eyes, trembling, wide.
âYou will keep them there,â Obi-Wan commanded. âYou will not look away. Do you understand?â
Obi-Wan crouched down. Calm. Measured. Scathing.
âYou havenât earned a voice. You havenât earned command. Youâve earned this.â
He gestured at the floor beneath Anakinâs knees.
âSay it. Say you donât know your place.â
âIâŚâ Anakinâs voice shook. âI donât know my place.â
âI donât know my place!â
Obi-Wan stared at him for a long, silent moment. Then stood.
He turned away, just slightlyâjust enough for the words to hit harder.
âThis is where you belong.â
His voice turned razor-sharp.
âCrawling. Kneeling. Against my boots.â
Thenâfinallyâhe released his grip.
Anakin whimpered. Quiet. Raw. But he didnât break eye contact. Couldnât.
âYou wanted consequences? This is your consequence.â
Obi-Wanâs tone turned lethal.
âYou will kneel here. Until I return. No matter how long that is. You will not speak. You will not move. You will not so much as blink unless I permit it.â
Obi-Wan walked to the door, slow and final.
âIf you're still here when I return,â he said without turning, âwe begin again. If you aren'tâŚâ
He let the silence finish the sentence.
And Anakin remained exactly where he was.
Chest rising and falling like something was still burning inside him.
He should have felt shame. Humiliation. Regret.
Insteadâhe was shaking.
Something that curled in his gut and whispered that he wanted this.
Wanted to misbehave again.
And reminded of exactly where he belonged.
