Star Wars: A Masters Love

Anakin Skywalker sat at the bedside of Obi-Wan Kenobi, as the man in question laid silently and unmoving, just as he had ever since they had returned from their mission on the Outer Rim, almost a week ago.

They had been sent by the Jedi council to talk with one of the larger planets of the Outer Rim, to try and persuade them to sign a treaty of peace with the neighbouring planet and a line themselves with the Republic.

Unfortunately one of the planets in question was known for being well accomplished and genius scientists, scientist who were known for their cloning ability similar to the planet Kamino also located in the Outer Rim. But the Jedi and other planets were not aware that the scientist of the planet had been working on two separate projects, projects that were uncivilized and unpractical.

The first project was a machine with the ability to change ones gender and DNA. So if you had been a man you would become a woman and visa a versa if you had been a woman. The second project was also a machine. This machine in particular had the ability to either age a person or reinstate their youth; it all depended upon who the second individual was who was hit with the machines lasers instantaneously.

Unfortunately for Obi-Wan and Anakin, Obi-Wan and Anakin had been forcefully pushed into the line of fire when the machine had gone off and had been out of control after the machines controls had been hit with several blaster shots.

So naturally because Obi-wan had been the one on top and Anakin had been underneath Obi-wan's body, he had not been subjected to the machines full power. But Obi-Wan had not been so fortunate. Because Anakin was only twenty three and he had not received the full brunt of the laser, it meant his youth was copied instead of being stripped and making him as old as Obi-Wan, it had returned Obi-Wan's youth to him, giving him back the body and the looks of his twenty three year-old self.

So that was how Anakin found himself at Obi-Wan's bedside at the healer's ward of the Jedi temple. He reached out and stroked the face of his lover. He looked maybe a year or so older then he had been when Anakin had first met him on Tatooine.

His hair remained the same only it was more vibrant in colour and softer, plus also void of grey hairs. The laughter lines that had once been round Obi-Wan's mouth and the corners of his eyes had been completely erased. His skin was as smooth and unwrinkled as it had been the day Anakin had met him. Obi-Wan Kenobi who was in his late forties now looked like he was twenty three once again.

Anakin marvelled at his new lover's youth. He and Obi-Wan had given in and admitted their feelings for each other, whilst they had been on the month long mission. It hadn't helped that they had been in close quarters and had ended up sharing a room with only a double sized bed.

Anakin was pissed over the fact the scientists of that sith hell pit of a planet had created such an uncivilized contraption. Sure he hated the thought of aging and dying. But that machine was inhuman and screwing around with the will of what nature had intended.

And the other machine that changed your gender or DNA, he wasn't even going to go there, no way. He was just thankful it wasn't that machine in particular that had gone psycho. The thought of either he or Obi-Wan being turned into women was none to appealing to Anakin. He had a feeling Obi-Wan would have more then agreed with him if he had even been conscious.
