He accepted the first point with only a mild bit of wariness. It wasn't as though Anakin - any Anakin, from any reality, at any point in time, was lacking in strength of will or personality. The wariness was simply-
Well, him trying to wrestle around emotions he didn't quite recognize he had, and would have either been afraid of (no attachments), or just simply not known what to do with, anyway.
The other thing just makes him blink a few times, forehead furrowed in confusion and then tilted his head to try to work it out. "...Always?"
"Yes, always." Anakin then began to list the reasons. "People do it because it's fun, because it's sexual gratifying - which is different. To feel pleasure or pain - again, different from sexual gratification. People do it to express emotions or to feel emotions- love, joy, sadness, anger. To apologize. Some do it to feel hate. Some people use it as a form of religious worship. You can do it to express affection or appreciation, you can use it to feel affection. To touch or be touched. For comfort- to comfort or to be comforted. To bond and build trust. To be connected or to feel close with someone. You can use it to disconnect from others. You can use it to expend energy. To forget, to remember. To distract yourself. To meditate... There are more negative reasons, but I don't think you need me going over them."
Some of those reasons confused him - just fundamentally were things he didn't understand. Some of them were not.
He found himself puzzling out the various ways they fit together and ... vaguely testing if any of them could be entirely solitary as a motivation, but realized the motivations had motivations, if nothing else and let it go.
He tugged Anakin's hand and then turned them around and slowly started walking back, breathing deeply - and making his lungs burn and chest ache from col - as he did so.
Anakin almost asked why they were turning back, didn't Obi-Wan want his walk in the clarifying, cold air. But he stopped himself, reasoning he should let Obi-Wan think in peace. A hard thing for Anakin to let happen, he always wanted to fill silence with noise. But he'd just been very noisy so he put the effort into not being noisy.
He just squeezed Obi-Wan's hand and went with him.
He mulls it over a bit more. Walks, though stops once they're near the hut, but not inside. Still bitingly, painfully, cold aside from the space where their palms touch.
"I am never going to understand normal social interactions and I'm not entirely convinced that it matters."
"Obi-Wan," Anakin says, stepping closer. "What matters is what you're comfortable with."
He didn't like what he was about to say, because it would mean changing things if Obi-Wan made a certain choice, but he said it anyways. Because it was the right thing to say. And he did love Obi-Wan more... more than anything, really.
"If you want to stop having sex- no matter what your reason is. I'll respect that."
He raised Obi-Wan's hand to his lips and kissed it.
He startled - not just obvious in the force, but he visibly startled, eyes going wide.
He didn't even intend to lunge to grab Anakin, but he did - albeit only at his hand.
"I absolutely do not want to stop having sex." Which made him immediately think that he should want to, but he didn't retract the statement. Only added: "With you."
"Then come inside you stubborn, old man." Anakin tugged on Obi-Wan's hand. "You're going to freeze to death out here and then I'll be all alone on Tatooine. Which is like, my idea of hell."
What he wanted, he thought, was to stop needing to have sex to feel like he existed. The fact that things had gotten to that point-
Anakin probably had a point about the break.
It was almost as good a sign of a need to rest, as his desire to see if he could will Sidious and Vader into giving up and dying.
For the moment though, he let Anakin pull him exactly far enough to step into Anakin's personal space and immediately wrap an arm around Anakin's waist. "No."
He stepped further into Anakin's space, backing him toward the outside wall of his shitty little house. Once he had Anakin there his hands slid inside Anakin's cloak to settle on his hips, pushed up a bit, breathed against his throat, and then -
"You aren't going to freeze to death."
very, very gently bit him. Just grabbed the skin over Anakin's pulse, held it between his teeth and dragged his tongue over it.
Despite the cold, Anakin melted around that bite- no, no they weren't freezing at all. And he poured this mix of energy and desire into the Force to warm the air around them. By now he'd picked up that Obi-Wan liked biting.
Anakin closed his eyes and slipped his hand under Obi-Wan's tunic because what he liked was skin touching skin.
He liked biting. He liked being bitten. He liked the way Anakin relaxed into him - melted into it - more than either one and quite possibly more than any other aspect of sex.
He pushed hummed around the skin in his teeth, let go and nipped just sharp enough to sting, along the line of Anakin's neck to his earlobe which he also nipped.
“I never said I didn’t,” Anakin mumbled, losing himself in the sensation of Obi-Wan’s sharp, little nips.
He had the presence of mind to take hold of Obi-Wan’d hand and bring the man’s wrist up to his mouth. He kissed the vulnerable skin there once, then bit him, not to break skin, but enough to drag his teeth.
He had really, truly, planned on going inside at some point, but Anakin's mouth on his wrist and abruptly he did not care about the cold.
Not that he was cold - his skin heated and so did the air around them as he bled that heat and desire into the force.
His eyes actually rolled back and closed and his knees basically buckled for a half second, forcing him to catch himself with his other hand, braced on the wall beside Anakin.
"I think you could almost make me climax like that." He sounded - and was - dazed. Give him a second and he'd be able to move again. Probably.
Anakin didn't stop, he was encouraged. His other hand moved from exploring Obi-Wan's side and settled on the front of the man's waistband. One handed he started to unfasted Obi-Wan's pants, and done with that, he slipped his hand inside Obi-Wan's underwear to find his cock.
He turns his head to the side and bites Anakin's shoulder, hard enough that even through his tunic and cloak, it is going to leave a mark. Growls at him, and jerks his hips up and into Anakin's hand.
There's one hand leaving Anakin though, and the sound of the door near them slamming open with a not entirely controlled use of force.
probably not have been as profound a turn on as it was.
Yes, it's also emotionally satisfying and the emotional impact is what feeds the physical but his response is intense. It makes him lean in against Anakin, knee sliding between Anakin's thighs with a low, deep, groan.
He doesn't pause, though, works a hand under Anakin's tunic and up along his side. ...His hands, in spite of arousal, are absolutely cold.
The knees gained his hard cock, making him sweat, was an arousing contrast to Obi-Wan’s hand against his hot body. Anakin loved it, palming Obi-Wan’s cock harder in appreciative return. He rolled his hips against Obi-Wan’s knee, enjoying the spike of pleasure as friction rubbed up the length of his cock.
Breathless he said, “Take this inside and fuck me against the wall.” And he was already sending thoughts of bracing himself against the wall with Obi-Wan thrusting inside him from behind.
He took a second to gather his rapidly scattering wits - which took some doing with Anakin moving like that against him, and the fact that he was hard as hell.
He kissed Anakin's temple, kissed his ear and - "Almost, but not quite."
Anakin got the gist of Obi-Wan’s intent and summoned the bottle of lube from inside and gave it to Obi-Wan. He gave Obi-Wan’s cock a final stroke before turning to face the wall and dropping his robe. To compensate for the cold, he used the Force to pour more heat into the air around them.
"Someday, I may actually successfully convince you to really relax and enjoy yourself." There was more amusement there than anything, though.
He dropped his mouth and nipped, just hard enough to sting at the back of Anakin's neck. "I suppose I'll settle for concentration in not letting us freeze or overheat."
he wrapped around Anakin from behind, pressed up against his back and reached around to get his trousers unfastened, and took advantage to indulge his desire to slow down and enjoy the physical for a moment.
Anakin wasn’t in a hurry, they could stay out here for a while before keeping the air around them warm took an exhaustive toll on him.
He rolled his hips back, enjoying the hard press of Obi-Wan’s cock against his ass. Every time Obi-Wan’s arm or hand bumped his cock was a nice shock of pleasure. But he did drop a hand to help him. There was taking your time, and there was wanting to feel Obi-Wan’s hand on his cock again and then taking your time.
He laughed softly against Anakin's throat, bit again but much more gently and then turned excruciatingly slow and gentle, kissing Anakin's neck softly and lightly curling his fingers around Anakin's cock.
Rolled his hips into a lazy, downright languid grind against Anakin's ass while he opened the lube and coated his fingers with it.
"Its a good thing you're good at multitasking." He wonders how far that goes and if he can find the line.
...He might be a little sadistic. LOVINGLY sadistic, though.
