Summary
Anakin, who had remained unmoving for the entirety of Obi-Wan’s time in Padmé’s apartment, finally lifted his head out of his hands and met Obi-Wan’s eyes. “Obi-Wan,” he croaked. His voice had the unmistakable blister of someone who had been crying, and seeing his face seared Obi-Wan with the depths of his pain.
Anakin’s eyes were completely bloodshot. His hair was ruffled and sweaty. His cheeks were flushed, red with his burning emotions. And most shocking of all were the near-black circles under his eyes. He had looked more tired than usual when Obi-Wan had left a few days ago, but he looked like he hadn’t slept at all since either. Obi-Wan’s heart flooded with sympathy and even more concern. He couldn’t remember the last time he had seen Anakin cry, and he had never seen Anakin sob uncontrollably the way he had been now. Obi-Wan couldn’t help but feel Anakin had been hiding some of his darker, more complicated emotions from him.
AU where Anakin makes a different choice in Palpatine's office rather than slicing off Mace Windu's hand. This is what happens next!
