Anakin obliged and set a steady, slow pace, brushing his hand through Obi-Wan's hair.

"I don't regret stealing this ship. And I don't regret loving you."

"The outcome is overall positive on both counts, and regret isn't productive anyway. You're alive and safe for the time being. That's the most important thing."

In some ways that's the ONLY important thing. Some ways being 'to him' though he realized there was a bigger picture.

"You're alive and safe for the time being," Anakin pointed out. "That's just as important. To me."

"You told me to survive." He shrugs, slightly. "There was never any chance that I'd do anything else."

Anakin's hand pauses for a second, and then continues to weave through Obi-Wan's hair.

"Are you saying that all I have to do is ask you to do something, and you'll do it?"

"If it was at all reasonable and important to you? Of course I would." SOmething truly important to Anakin and not absolutely unreasonable or dangerous. So within limits but... yes.

"I'm glad you think asking you to survive is reasonable," Anakin said. There might have been a playful hint to his voice. To seal it, he kissed the top of Obi-Wan's head.

He yawned and curled in to Anakin, wrapping around him more tightly. "More reasonable than shoving me off a cliff...."

"It seemed reasonable at the time," Anakin said as he accommodated Obi-Wan, and pulled him in tighter. "I knew you'd survive. And that's what's important."

He rubbed his forehead against Anakin's shoulder but then settled down again, complete with sigh. The tighter contact helped more than he would have expected and he found himself really physically relaxing toward sleep. "See? You knew I'd do what you told me to."
