Anakin remained silent for some additional moments, watching the other man sit up beside him.

"I...." he tried, then started again.

"It'll be a year soon... Since I came here, right?" A year according to the local time measurement.

And then a frown settled on his face "That means... Selenium will be soon." He fell silent again, his eyes shifting to look into the darkness ahead of him.

"...if was last Selenium that I saw Vader. And Master Windu. I keep seeing them in my dreams."

A year, indeed. And what a year... Anakin wrapped his arms around his knees and rested his chin on them.

"I'm never not worried about that, Obi-Wan." he admitted, looking ahead into the darkness "I've lost control over myself more often than you know of, and Master Windu..."

Anakin let the name hang in the air for a moment, a deep frown settling on his face before he turned his head to look over at Obi-Wan.

"...do you even know that I helped Palpatine kill him?" He wasn't sure. He simply didn't remember if he had ever mentioned this to Obi-Wan - Or to anyone for the matter. He had assisted in the murder of a member of the Jedi Council - and had delivered two more to the blade of a dangerous Sith Lord.

Anakin's eyes remained on Obi-Wan and for a moment he thought about how to go on about this. Eventually, he sighed.

"...I wish you had been there. To keep me at bay. Or rather: If I had been allowed to go with you. Just away from it all."

This didn't exactly answer Obi-Wan's question, but at least it was a start to get Anakin talking.

"Master Windu had ordered me to stay at the Temple while the Council went to Palpatine to arrest him. But I... I just couldn't sit there and do nothing. I knew that they might kill the Chancellor and with him..." he looked down "...and with him my only chance to save Padmé."

A lie, as Anakin knew now.

"So I went and interfered."

He paused there for Obi-Wan to take in the information.

It had been Obi-Wan who had held Anakin back before. Who had grounded him and talked sense into him when he was getting way too emotional to think clearly. staying back on Coruscant while his former teacher was sent away had left him to deal with everything that was piling up way over his head all by himself.

"When I arrived, Master Windu had the Chancellor pinned down. I saw an old man begging for his life and a Jedi Master raising his lightsaber to strike down the man that had been a close friend to me ever since I came to Coruscant." Anakin gave more detail to the event, yet didn't look at Obi-Wan "I knew that Palpatine was the Sith Lord. He had told me. I have seen him use his Force Lightning against Master Windu. I knew exactly whom I was saving..."

"I made a decision that costs the lives of countless Jedi. And all that after Master Windu himself told me he trusted me." That detail alone only made it worse. He had just finally gained the Jedi Master's trust, then went to betray him and everyone else.

"...if only it were possible to go back... To do things differently..."

Used and manipulated. By a man he considered a friend. By a man he trusted with more of his secrets than he should have...

"...I was a fool for trusting him so much." Anakin muttered, then finally turned his head towards Obi-Wan, searching the man's eyes "I was a fool for trusting him more than I trusted you. But I know that now."

Now. Now he understood why Obi-Wan had such a bad feeling regarding the Chancellor. And that he should have trusted the Jedi more.

"I'm sorry I was such an idiot."

At last, the younger man found it in him to smile again. It was a small, a shy smile, but a smile nonetheless.

"How do I even deserve you..." he muttered, more to himself, but very willingly accepted the older man's offer for simple, physical closeness.

Lying back down as well, Anakin wrapped his arms around Obi-Wan and let himself be pulled into the embrace while at the same time returning it, telling himself and his mind to relax once more and just enjoy the soothing experience to be close to this man he loved so much.
