A/N: Obi-Wans' age...I'm thinking he's 25? So he's not much older than Padme (23) in this AU. Anakin is 19. I'm not sure if the non-violent prompt means Obi-Wan doesn't defend with a lightsaber so I left that vague.
Despite his age Obi-Wan was the best negotiator in the ranks of the Jedi. His presence helped prevent countless wars and brought peace to the Republic. On Naboo he was to protect the Queen and help work out a peace treaty between her people and the lingering remnants of the separatists. The queen had ruled from a young age maturing into a wise leader. He was struck by her beauty but quickly ignored the attraction he felt. Attachment was forbidden in the order as were causal sexual encounters.
Nevertheless Obi-Wan was a Jedi and knew his role was a small one with no personal rewards. All a Jedi desired was preventing needless bloodshed. He had accepted this and flourished as a Jedi Knight. Even so there were times Obi-Wan wished he could have a lover, someone to share his life with. There were other Jedi but none of them seemed to yearn for a connection as much as he did. Qui-Gon claimed it was nothing more than a passing phase, that all Jedi quickly outgrew such selfish notions. Obi-Wan felt ashamed for wanting more but his loneliness became unbearable over the years. A simple brush of fingers sent tingles throughout his body, he was severely touch starved. Jedi used to be taken as babies and allowed to at least engage in sex when they were of proper age. Those days were gone and Obi-Wans' generation had grown up with loving (if distant) families before training to be Jedi at eighteen.
The queen had introduced her husband who Obi-Wan politely greeted only to get a stare in return. Anakin (he bared no official title save consort) had an intense look that Obi-Wan couldn't decipher. The three of them sat alone in a small dining area by the lake for dinner. The separatists would arrive in a few days making it possible for Obi-Wan to help the queen prepare for the meeting. It was so serene and beautiful Obi-Wan found himself staring at the lake more than once. When caught he found himself smiling then he admitting it was a breathtaking sight.
"I'll say." Anakin murmured while openly staring at Obi-Wan. The Jedi ignored him, Anakin seemed to delight in annoying him throughout the meal. The last thing Obi-Wan wanted was to let him know how irksome he found the man. Surely he was mocking the Jedi being so mesmerized by a body of water.
"Please call me, Padme." The queen reminded. "For the next few weeks you'll be our guest. We'll all get to know ourselves rather well so I think we can dispense with the formalities."
"If that's what you wish."
Despite their meal being finished Obi-Wan found himself sitting with the couple to talk for hours. His humor slipped out before he could stop himself from making sarcastic retorts. He tried to reign himself in until he knew the proper etiquette and sensibilities of the culture he was visiting. Padme and Anakin laughed which prompted him to relax and stop restraining himself from making jokes. Anakin especially seemed delighted to see this side of him, probably believing Jedi were all boring humorless beings.
When a servant came to escort him to his chambers the queen shook her head and turned to her husband. The pair directed him down a hidden passage to a large hallway with two doors.
"Don't you require proper protection M'lady?" Obi-Wan couldn't help glaring when Anakin laughed.
"Our room is down the hall. The guards aren't far off. I suppose we'll see you in the morning, Obi-Wan. Maybe you can explain the force?"
The almost arrogant tone irritated him but he wondered if Anakin truly was interested. The force was strong in him.
"I'm glad you were sent to us, Obi-Wan. I think this is a good omen of things to come." Before he realized what was happening Padme pressed her lips against his and a shock of desire shot through him. Smiling she bid him goodnight before following her husband to their room. Obi-Wan groaned, he had a bad feeling about this.

"So," Anakin drew the word out before catching his wife's eye, "I suppose this means we're on the same page?"
Padme smirked as she rolled over glad to bask in the afterglow of their love making. It had been building since they met the Jedi and their shared satisfaction ensured neither felt jealous over lusting over someone else. "You desired him the moment you saw him didn't you?"
He scoffed. "Please, you've had plenty of pretty boys at the palace that I wanted to throttle. There's more to him than looks."
"True. He's very intelligent, funny, sweet--"
"So when did you want to bed him?"
Trust Anakin to ruin her more romantic notions.
"I was first attracted to him when I heard his voice." She shivered at the memory. "I was physically attracted when I saw his face. It only grew stronger as the night carried on. I knew I wanted to bed him when he laughed for the first time."
He cursed remembering the way the mans' eyes had sparkled. The mirth in his laughter and the mischief on his face. Obi-Wan Kenobi was incredible in every regard. "I can't believe we're thinking this. I'm usually--"
"Jealous to the point of irritation?" Padme finished innocently.
"Whatever. He's a Jedi. You know their not open to relationships."
"I know but perhaps we could arrange for some....negotiations." They shared a laugh. "Ani...we can't do this unless we're sure about it. This is his life we're talking about. If we seduce him it has to be more than a night of passion."
Pushing his sweaty hair out of his face Anakin huffed. "I know. Making him break his vows means we'd have to want him in our lives permanently. We just met him..."
Biting his lip he gave his wife a needy glance.
"What if he doesn't want us?"
The fear of rejection had never left Anakin but she admired his reckless abandon when he was passionate. "Then we'll still have each other. If we went through with this and he agrees then our lives will change."
The heady image of three of them filled his head and Anakin was reminded of his dreams. Most came true and a recurring one was of a man he kept reaching for. Over the years details changed, Padme now joined him in pursuit of this man. It always ended with him approaching the sitting man in a garden. Anakin woke just before anything could happen. He knew he was strong in the force and could sense things his whole life. If he concentrated he could feel Obi-Wan at that moment, how right his presence felt. The force it's self seemed to be nudging him towards the Jedi.
