Qui-Gon wanted Obi-Wan to stay a young man forever. He did not want him to change, to grow up. If he does, I will lose him, he thought. - Jedi Apprentice #18

“Qui-Gon gave the smile he gave so rarely, a full smile that lit up his blue eyes and caused them to sparkle with warmth.”

Qui-Gon put his comlink away with a sigh. Again he was bombarded with images of his Padawan — images of a talented, impatient boy becoming a man.
They had been through a lot together — revenge, deceit, war, death. And things had not always been smooth between them. They each had a strong will and those wills sometimes clashed. But they had also grown to depend on and trust each other. More than a formidable Jedi team, they loved each other and were true friends.
As he looked around the empty room, Qui-Gon wanted Obi-Wan to stay a young man forever. He did not want him to change, to grow up.
If he does, I will lose him, he thought. Just as I have lost Tahl. Qui-Gon was horrified at his own desire — how could he want such a thing? Obi-Wan had his own life to live, his own destiny. It was not Qui-Gon’s place to interfere with or wish it to be any different than it was meant to be.
As he lay back on his sleep couch, guilt and sadness kept him awake. He tried to let the emotions flow out of him.
It was a long time before they finally did.

‘Do you have a plan?’ Obi-Wan asked.
'We don’t have time for a plan,’ Qui-Gon said, kicking open the door.

Seriously all his life Obi-Wan puts up with this shit.

“You would have died for me,” Qui-Gon said. “Your courage was extraordinary, even for a Jedi. I would be honored to accept you as my Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi.”
Obi-Wan felt warmth fill him. He didn’t feel the pride he thought he’d feel, hearing those words. But the Force moved around him and in him, and he felt a deep sense of home. He swallowed.
“I accept, Master, Qui-Gon Jinn.”
“Of course,” Qui-Gon added, “You would not have succeeded with your plan. I would have stopped you from dying for me.”
“You would not have been able to, Master,” Obi-Wan replied serenely.
They exchanged a look, half challenge, half amusement . The Force pulsed between them. Both of them saw ahead to the long years and many missions to come. They knew they would debate this over those years, even as the memory of a planet called Bandomeer had faded. It would be a friendly disagreement between them, a bond of history and trust.

Another image of Obi-Wan flashed in Qui-Gon’s mind. An older Obi-Wan, ready to begin the intensive path toward the trials. Soon he would be more man than boy. He would take the leap toward becoming a Jedi Knight.
Pride and sadness flooded Qui-Gon as he pictured Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. He looked forward to the day that the two of them would work side by side as Jedi Knights, but with this thought no image came. Qui-Gon’s chest tightened. He was so proud of Obi-Wan’s path, of his achievements.
Why couldn’t he see him as a Knight? Perhaps I do not want to see the boy grow up, he thought.

And he had Obi-Wan. With every mission, he was more convinced that his Padawan would become extraordinary, even among the Jedi. What he taught would live on. That was legacy enough.
Qui Gon: I don't want Obi Wan As a padawan
Qui Gon: I'm not interested.
Qui Gon:: nope
Qui Gon: too immpulsive
Qui Gon: I generally don't want a padawan
Qui Gon: and I'm sure I don't want him
Qui Gon: I don't care about what yoda says
Qui Gon: he is wrong
Qui Gon: Obi wan can't be my padawan
Obi Wan: *is in danger*
Qui Gon: NO !!!!!! PADAWAN !!!!!
“And if darkness lies ahead of me, I will fight it,” Obi-Wan resolved. Qui-Gon put a hand on his shoulder. “We will fight it together, Padawan.” - Jedi Apprentice #9

Jedi Quest - Jedi Apprentice
This is me dealing with the fact that Jedi Quest and Jedi apprentice made me the star wars fan I am today. Seriously those are my fave star wars books, especially since they are covering both time periods that interest me the most and the books are sweet, funny, entertaining, exciting and do a really good job with characterization and everything. I just also love imagining Padawan!Anakin and Padawan!Obi-wan together. It’s just awwww

everyone hates the prequels but remember how they brought us an adorable YA novel series about baby Obi-Wan’s adventures as a padawan? happy fourth. v
Obi-Wan felt his hopes dim. Qui-Gon had rejected so many students. What made him think that he would be able to please him?
