Leaving

So I got the idea for this from the comics, lol. It's based on the idea at the end of the Obi-Wan and Anakin series soooo I hope you enjoy it.

Anakin turns off his blue lightsaber, slightly panting. He pinches his eyes shut, trying to calm his mind. He has so many things to worry about that he can't keep them quiet. What he's gone through and what lies ahead for him. He isn't sure how to process it all.

Obi-Wan watches from above, softly tugging at his beard. He can sense the confusion and sense of loss in Anakin. He's been feeling it for the past few days. He had hoped their last mission would answer Anakin's recent question, but it seems to have only made it worse.

Anakin stands up, his eyes meeting his master's. "I'm done."

"Done with practice?" Obi-Wan asks, resting his hands on the railing. "Or done with searching for your answer?"

Anakin holds out his lightsaber, trying to keep his face as stern as possible. "I'm done with the Jedi Order. For now."

Obi-Wan jumps down, landing softly in front of Anakin. Slowly, he walks over to him, his sense of calmness making Anakin uneasy. Though he's used to his master being silent in thought, this is almost unbearable. He wants Obi-Wan to scream and shout. He wants him to scold him for leaving this behind. He wants him to do anything to end this silence.

"Very well," Obi-Wan says with a soft nod. He takes the lightsaber from Anakin's hands and secures it on his hip. "I'll need to go inform the Council. Then it'll be official."

"Do I have to come with you, Master?" Anakin asks, stepping forward.

"No. I will go alone. Your presence is unnecessary." He answers, beginning to walk away. Anakin quickly follows after him. It's basically become a muscle memory for him to follow Obi-Wan.

"Good." Anakin sighs in relief. "I'm not sure I could handle their looks of disappointment."

The rest of the walk there is silent. Anakin can't help but worry about how Obi-Wan is so calm. Honestly, this is probably the most peaceful Obi-Wan has been since he took on the task of training Anakin.

They pause outside the door, Obi-Wan gently touching Anakin's shoulder. "Wait outside the doors for me. I'll need to talk with you about what will happen and how everything will work from now on."

"Yes, Master." Anakin nods. Obi-Wan gives him a soft smile before entering the room. Once the doors close, Anakin leans against them. Though he's tried for years, he presses his ear against the crack. He needs to know what they're saying about him.

Are they mad at Anakin for leaving? He knows that they took a risk letting Obi-Wan train him at his age. Maybe they're talking about how terrible he was at being a Jedi and they're rejoicing that he's finally leaving them.

He lets out a huff, rolling his eyes. Mace Windu is probably jumping for joy right now. He's probably telling Obi-Wan how great this is for him and that he can finally take on a newer and better padawan.

A pang of sadness hits Anakin, making him frown. He looks around, realizing how alone he is now. He will no longer have his master with him. Obi-Wan will stay here, training someone to become a Jedi. Someone new will take his place at his master's side. Will Obi-Wan forget about Anakin or like the new padawan better?

He crosses his arms, worried about his master. Are they angry at Obi-Wan for his choice to leave the Order? He presses his hands against the door, wishing he could be in there. He can't stand the idea of them blaming Obi-Wan for his decision. He needs to be in there to stand up for him.
