I just watched Kenobi and I'm all emo about my og star wars blorbo (no spoilers in case you haven't watched it, just vibes)
Can we take a moment and consider, younger cubi Din befriending the hermit who lives out in the Dune Sea? Din chased a bounty out that way once and wound up shocked into cooperation by the older man who suddenly just... Appeared out of a cave? And offered him a drink and a meal?? When Din was carrying a corpse back to his ship??? The whole thing was so confusing that Din just wound up agreeing out of instinct and wound up sharing a meal (with a quickly-constructed screen) before even realizing quite what's going on.
Obi-wan isn't familiar with cubi, he doesn't know exactly what's going on with Din, but he gets some sense through the force of what Din needs to survive (though he can't exactly tell Din, not without revealing how he knows). So obi-wan does his best to be attentive and affectionate with his new friend, and he's pleasantly surprised when Din comes back a couple months later, next time he's on Tattooine.
(he's less surprised when they fall into bed together, but obi-wan's an incorrigible flirt and Din's surprisingly receptive)
okay so first off thank you for notspoilers, im not being super circumspect abt avoiding spoilers but I am trying
second this is adorable????? and I love it. obi is also one of my og blorbos and im so happy to see him again 🥰
AND THEN YOU HIT ME WITH THEM FALLING INTO BED
just saying: you realize din's like. college undergrad-mqybe grad student age at the point Kenobi is set? so probably they'd meet, Din'd stop by periodically, and maybe at some point he's planning to head out to see the crazy wizard but first he's desperately horny so he's just gonna pick up a rando before he heads out
but Crazy Ben is in town bc the Force poked him "grocery shopping" or shit and then voila: chance meeting, like:
Din stumbling against a wall in an alley with some creep getting handsy
Obi misreading the situation and intervening all "this is not the hookup you are looking for 👋"
Din: I mean I appreciate the gesture but I really need to be fucked rn
Obi, picking up the Vibes in the Force: ah. I see. well, you could go back in there and find another being of questionable morals and ethics. or we can go back to my place, have some tea, and get down to business.
and Din is so on edge and also exhausted and it would be nice to spend some "quality time" with someone he doesn't have to worry abt going for his buy'ce or the rest of his armor (previous occasions have shown Ben respects such things)
so yeah, then Din gets his first taste of being cared for. idk, Obi might be a soft dom? def very attentive. and sexy teachable moments 😆
