Obsession

Jar of hearts

Obi-wan groaned as he slowly woke up, his muscles and chest seemed to feel so light. His fever must have prevented him from sensing Maul and his brother at first. Obi-wan when to sit up to hear a slightly mechanical voice.
"Careful Obi-wan. Don't strain yourself."
"Savage?" Obi-wan spoke before seeing the different yet familiar face. "Feral?" Obi-wan was, even more, confusion now why was he here?
"What are you doing here? Where's Savage and Maul? I... I thought I told Satine to find Maul. Where is she?"
"Obi-wan calm down. Maul is only outside. But we are not happy with you Obi-wan. I thought Maul finding you would make him happy again, but this just is fueling his need for revenge all again." Feral half explained
"What do you mean Feral where is everyone else?" Obi-wan asked to hear the door to his hut open and slam shut.
"The Mandalorians are dead, Feral. Maul hissed
"What do you mean brother?" Feral looked over at his older brother.
"All of the Mandalorians that were possessed by the Nightsisters. They all died as soon as the sisters tried doing magik." Maul hissed darkly
"Oh no. Arsayh." Feral's voice faded
"Who's Arsayh? What happened to everyone?" Obi-wan pressed for answers
"Everyone is dead Kenobi! After you died, Sidious killed Savage, than Grievous killed most of my Mandalorian army, than they killed the Nightbrothers. Than the Nightsisters. And than... than they killed Mother. Everyone on Dathomir is dead Kenobi!" Maul snarled at him. "They're all dead! Dead because of you!"
"Brother, you know that's not true. Obi-wan did not cause their deaths." Feral said to Maul, standing between the two older Force users
"Do not defend him Feral. That," Maul had pointed at Obi-wan. "He is not my mate. No matter how much he looks like Obi-wan. He is not. All he is now, is the lure for Ezra."
"Ezra? Why are you calling him that? Isn't he your apprentice?" Feral asked confused
"He chose his fate on Dathomir. Now, he belongs to those Rebels. He is now an enemy Feral and we now have what he wants: Jedi Master Obi-wan Kenobi. The key to destroying the Sith." Maul couldn't help but laugh at the end. How in the world could this Kenobi defeat the Sith after he passed out from exhaustion while fighting him?
"I am certainly no key to destroying the Sith, Maul." Obi-wan commented
"The holocrons showed me, Kenobi. There's no use in denying it. You either are the key or a very important component to it and my old apprentice and his friends should be here soon." Maul snapped at his old mate.
"Maul..." Obi-wan said sadly and he saw Maul's eyes flash over to him but just for a quickly second.
"Feral, make sure Old Ben doesn't leave while I'm gone." Maul said walking to the door.
"I'm not going anywhere any more Maul." Obi-wan said looking with said eyes at the red Zabrak pleading for him to stay in the hut with him. Without another word, Maul left the hut.
Obi-wan looked out his window as Maul walked out to where the fire was and sat down where he was. Obi-wan desperately wanted to go out there to comfort Maul, but Maul was so convinced in telling himself that Obi-wan had changed.
Obi-wan shook his head and stood up a little shaky from his bed. He left out of the hut walking over to Maul. He wrapped his arms around Maul from behind the old Sith. Then for the first time in a long time, he started to cry. He didn't know why he was crying, he just felt like crying.
Maul looked at Obi-wan over his shoulder with a quirked eyebrow.
"Kenobi, what do you think you're doing?" Maul shifted his upper body lifting his arm letting the human cry into his side.
"Come on now Kenobi. You're a Jedi. You're not supposed to cry." Maul continued as he shifts his lower body. Yelling at himself in the head about what to do, he felt like he was taken back to when he had first captured this Jedi all those years ago. He had argued with himself the same way, but instead of trying to decide whether to kill him or not, he was trying to decide whether he would comfort him or not. In Maul's head, the votes for not comforting his old mate had massively outweighed the votes for comforting him. Maul wanted him just for once to feel how Maul felt when Maul had lost his loved ones slowly. The voices him Maul's head told him to stand up and walk away from the crying heap of a Jedi, but he couldn't bring himself from ripping away from Obi-wan's arms. The old Sith simply turned himself away from Obi-wan, not standing up, just stayed sitting there. Waiting for the old Jedi to stop crying.
