?Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never...? The boy was cut off when a fist landed in his stomach. He stumbled backwards and lost his balance. He felt his face turning redder than a tomacco plant when he heard the laughter.

?Words may not hurt, but that?s not what I?m gonna do to you next time you get in my way.? Bruck Chun was doubled over in laughter at the sight of the younger boy sitting in the mud. His friends were giggling right along with him, but stopped as they saw their prey slowly climb to his feet.

?Ready for more Oafy-Wan?? Bruck taunted Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan just stood there, silently getting angrier and angrier. He reached his breaking point when a young Calamarian girl walked into the gardens.

?Obi-Wan!? The girl called out to her friend. Obi-Wan watched helplessly as Bruck grabbed her arm and roughly pushed her into Obi-Wan. He felt his backside hit the mud for the second time that day, only this time, his friend Bant fell on top of him, squashing him in the muck further.

?Look at them, two peas in a pod. They?re both clumsy beyond belief.? Bruck and his friends turned towards the door as Bant helped Obi-Wan to his feet.

?Are you okay Bant?? Obi-Wan asked his best friend. She nodded her head yes, but her eyes widened as they watched Obi-Wan stalk towards his enemy.

?It?s one thing when you come after me, but you don?t mess with my friends.? Obi-Wan launched his small body at the older boy, hitting him in the chest. They both fell to the ground, rolling on top of one other. Each trying to gain the upper hand. Obi-Wan landed a punch on Bruck?s face, near the left eye. Bruck answered with another punch to the gut, causing Obi-Wan to gasp for air.

Bruck pushed Obi-Wan off of him and stood up. He smiled as he saw the younger boy coughing.

?That?ll teach you to mess with me!? Bruck said as he viscously kicked Obi-Wan in the stomach three times. Obi-Wan groaned with each hit, trying to curl up to protect himself.
Bruck was having too much fun inflicting pain of his nemesis that he didn?t see Bant run out of the room. His friends slowly faded out of the room, sensing trouble heading their way. They fled back to the creche, knowing that what they had done was wrong. But they were too afraid of Bruck to suggest the older boy to stop picking on the younger children.

Obi-Wan moaned at the pain in his ribs as he tried to take a deep breath. Bruck had lost interest in him after he had kicked the living daylights out of him. The older boy was just about to leave the room when a tall figure filled the doorway.

Bruck stumbled back as he recognized the master. He quickly bowed his head, knowing that he was in trouble.

The master walked closer and stopped in front of the boy. ?Do not move from this spot until I tell you you can move.? The voice was ice cold, freezing Bruck in his spot.

The master quickly walked towards where the still figure was laying. Obi-Wan?s chest was moving very slightly, trying not to aggravate his chest. The master knelt down and laid his hand on top on the boy?s chest.

Obi-Wan felt a warmth fill his body as the healing touch of the force flowed through his aching body. He sighed at the gentle touch, curling into the master when he was picked up. The master?s chest rumbled when he spoke to Bruck, making Obi-Wan giggle at the sensation as it tickled his cheek.

?Follow me. Now.? The clipped phrase warned Bruck not to speak or offer any excuses. He meekly followed the tall man out the door and down to the healers.

kimbilili-k-s~ Hugging Obi is always a verrrry good thing!

 

Very good story.

 

Super cute!! Loved the relationship between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. But Obi-Wan needs comforting! *looks around at the other Obi fans in the thread* I suppose that therea re many already willing to do that, though!

 

This was cute. Great setup with the boys fighting and Bruck letting go on his anger and hurting Obi-Wan so much. And then the sweet moment between Obi and Qui-Gon.

Good job.
