Though he's only been teasing, Obi-Wan can hear that faint tremor of nerves in Klaus's voice and he reaches out beneath the blanket to put his hand over Klaus's. Not to touch him -- not yet -- but to stop him from touching himself.
Yes, their physical intimacy is important to their relationship, Obi-Wan would never say otherwise, but what they have is so much more than that.
"Do you remember what I said when this happened to me?" he asks, looking at Klaus steadily, intently. "I still felt the same. Within the Force, I was still Obi-Wan Kenobi, regardless of my form. It's the same with you now. You may look different in many ways, but if I close my eyes and look for you in the Force, all I feel is Klaus. This changes nothing for how I feel for you."
And then he does kiss Klaus, gently at first, allowing Klaus to adjust to how it feels, the way Obi-Wan's mouth is larger than his now, the brush of his beard against newly smooth skin.
