Epilogue

Obi-Wan's last class before lunch was 'saber practice with Master Shian. It was also his last class of the day. He had some free time this afternoon. As usual he was planning on going to the library to study although he decided to check on his Master after class, just to make sure that he really was okay.

So, after class Obi-Wan made his way back to the apartment he shared with his Master. When the door opened he was glad to see Qui-Gon in his usual spot on the sofa sipping a cup of tea. He looked much better than before Obi-Wan was happy to see. He breathed a sigh of relief. At that Qui-Gon finally looked up. "In or out Padawan?" Obi-Wan blinked in surprise "excuse me?" Qui-Gon chuckled, and then Obi-Wan realised that he was still standing in the doorway. He took a step in and the door closed behind him.

"What are you doing here? Don't you usually have lunch with your friends?" Qui-Gon asked. Obi-Wan shifted nervously "Yes. I'm meeting them in a minute. I just… I wanted to see whether you were… okay." Qui-Gon looked a bit taken aback but smiled reassuringly "I thank you for your concern. But I'm fine." Obi-Wan returned the smile "Oh. Good, I'm glad. In that case…" Qui-Gon placed his cup on the small table next to the sofa and stood up. "Actually, I'm glad you're here" Obi-Wan swallowed hard, but Qui-Gon continued. "I noticed that you have some free time this afternoon." Obi-Wan nodded, still trying to figure out where this was going. "Would you like to join me for a sparring match?"

"A sparring match?" Obi-Wan echoed. Qui-Gon nodded and folded his arms across his chest. "Master Shian speaks very highly of you. He said you have improved considerably since we last trained together. If that's true, you can count me impressed." Obi-Wan couldn't think of what to say, his Master had caught him completely off guard with that… compliment?

Qui-Gon took his Padawan's silence as a "yes". "I'll see you in an hour then?" he patted Obi-Wan lightly on the shoulder and with that he walked past his Padawan and left the apartment, leaving him standing there on his own. Slowly a smile started to stretch across his face. "Impressed".

A/N: Hi, I've reached the end of my very first fanfiction ever! So, I really hope you liked it. This story is fairly short and the ending is left open, I apologise, but I imagine Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's relationship improving a lot from this point on. I'm currently working on another Obi-Wan story which will be a lot longer, so look out for it ;)
I'd like to thank everyone who read this story and everyone who favorited it/ left a review. I really appreciate it!
