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."

A light sigh and Obi-Wan’s expression softened. Anakin certainly had made some poor decisions, and he had a better understanding of why. Still, the repentant words meant a lot.

“And I’m sorry I wasn’t a better friend. That you couldn’t feel safe trusting me.”

He had his own regrets clearly, but maybe... hopefully, they could put this behind them and heal each other’s wounds. So with that, Obi-Wan leaned back and held out an arm to him in an offered embrace.

“Come.”

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.

His smile broadened as the offer was accepted, though he had little reason to believe it wouldn’t be. Pulling him over, he let Anakin’s head rest against his chest. His arms also going around the man he loved just as deeply. Also allowing his presence in the Force to wrap around Anakin in a soothing manner. Just as he pulled the blanket over them.

“Now, get some rest, dear one.”

A kiss was placed on Anakin’s brow.

“Good night.”

Comfortable and settled in, he then closed his eyes to allow himself to drift off again as well.
