Obsession

Unfamiliar feelings

Obi-wan walked out of the bathroom to see Maul waiting for him at the door. They were alone in the hut.
"Well, you surely took your time." Maul hummed teasingly as Obi-wan approached him. Obi-wan simply rolled his eyes. He didn't know what to say in response to Maul.
"The others are waiting outside." Maul continued sensing Obi-wan's slight curiosity. Obi-wan was going to step out of the open door to the Rebels, Feral and Satine, but he sensed some hesitation in Maul. An unusual feeling for Maul. Obi-wan turned to him seeing the ex Sith's focus of sight was casted off to the side at the floor.
"Maul, what's wrong?" Obi-wan asked concerned knowing any feeling like this could possibly mean some kind of danger, but it didn't feel like anything was of a danger to them.
"Are you sure you want to go with them Obi-wan?" Maul spoke quietly still not making eye contact with him.
"Where did this come from Maul? I thought you also wanted to defeat Vader and Sidious." Obi-wan said carefully not wanting Maul to take it as any kind of teasing or insult.
"I do, Obi-wan. It's just... this is a nice hut you have here." Maul said looking around at the hut. Obi-wan felt as if Maul was stalling.
"I would hate it if you just left it to be forgotten." Maul slowly continued and Obi-wan kept on trying to figure out where Maul was going with what he was saying.
"Maul, are you trying to ask me if I want to stay here?" Obi-wan asked purely confused about what Maul was trying to say.
"With me. Will you, stay here with me?" Maul asked finally made eye contact with Obi-wan. Obi-wan could sense an underlying fear of something in Maul. Was it about being alone? Is that why he said he would hate for the hut to be forgotten? Had Maul think that Obi-wan had forgotten about him?
"We don't have to go out there to fight them. We can stay here. Together. And no one else would know." Maul said never taking his eyes away from Obi-wan's.
"Maul, where did this come?" Obi-wan repeated feeling his stomach twist. "This isn't like you. What happened when I was in the bathroom? When the Rebels fist came here you were so determined to prove to them that they need you. Now you want to stay?"
Maul's eyes casted to the side at the floor again, his hand gripping his wrist. Obi-wan cupped Maul's cheek in his hand.
"Maul, I would love to live here with you," Obi-wan started when Maul's eyes met his again. "But we can not leave the Rebels just yet. They need our help and you're the only one who can truly predict their movements. You're stronger than I am Maul, we both can sense that."
"And for once it's not because you are a Jedi..." Maul pulled Obi-wan's head to his and he rested his forehead against Obi-wan's. "I don't want to lose you Obi-wan, not again. Never again."
"Nothing will happen to us Maul as long as we're together. Please Maul, I'm asking you to come with us and to put an end to this nightmare that we keep getting dragged into." Obi-wan rubbed Maul's cheek with his thumb, he could feel the eyes of the Rebels, Feral and Satine. watching them. He had forgotten that they were standing in the doorway with the door open. He didn't care. He could sense how they were feeling, but he didn't want to he just wanted to focus on Obi-wan. He didn't care how those Rebels felt about them. He was happy to finally be back with Obi-wan.
"Alright Obi-wan." Maul whispered to Obi-wan and turned his head so he could kiss the hand that was on his cheek.
"That's the Maul I know." Obi-wan smiled. "Now, lets go and put an end to it all."
"Yes. It is time for us to have our revenge." Maul hummed as the two of them walked out of the hut together toward their new alliance and the fight that could end a long lasting flame. It was finally time for them to end the horrible chapters of their lives that Sidious had constantly haunted and ruled over. The only thing Maul and Obi-wan could want more was to finally open a new chapter of their life where they didn't need to worry about a Sith who was constantly out to make their lives a living nightmare. Where they could finally start a new piece of their lives in peace.
