Disclaimer: If they were mine, Anakin/Obi-Wan would be canon. And graphic.
Author's Notes: Slightly AU. Anakin was not burned beyond recognition on Mustafar, he's still pretty.
The room stank of sweat and semen, and if a being concentrated hard enough, they might be able to make out the odor of blood as well. A man disentangled himself from the other on the bed and rose, hastily pulling on his pants. He drew his cloak over his shoulders, letting it hang open as he tugged his boots on.
He barely spared a glance at the bed, knowing what he would see there. A face he knew all too well, wearing an expression that combined love, longing, hurt, and betrayal. He had seen that look once before, and once was more than enough.
"Goodbye," he said as he headed for the door. "And I would recommend that you not let me find you again. I will not be as... forgiving the next time."
The door opened and closed behind Anakin - no, Vader - and Obi-Wan let out a breath he didn't realize he had been holding. He knew it would not be the last time he faced his former apprentice, but he was sure that Anakin - Vader - would be true to his word the next time they met.
