[He doesn't really know what to expect. He's not unused to pain, so in the moment before those teeth sink into him Anakin is already preparing himself. There are plenty of examples to compare it to, and even though he's never been one to flinch, Anakin pays special attention to the grounding of his feet. The last thing he wants is to jolt and end up hurt; Obi-Wan would never forgive himself. Uncomfortable looking at his own reflection, Anakin's gaze lands on the wood panelling around it. Is it going to sting, or feel like it burns? Is it going to be like getting clipped by a 'saber, or catching a blaster bolt?
But it isn't like any of those things. It's warm.
It's warm- and gentle, and slow. Like a kiss. Arms come up around him, holding him... differently than he's used to, but this touch to his neck, the way he feels it through his whole body? His body remembers the moments- Padmé braced over him, her hair a dark, beautiful curtain. The warmth in his face as he lifted his chin for her, breathless with happiness and desire. Her kiss against his throat, inside his pulse.
Anakin misses a breath and his hands move forward slowly, the gentle search for a different tether, a different nearness. His fingertips find Obi-Wan's waist as another pair slide through his hair and they finally slot together. Click into place.]
