Work Text:
Ben adored watching Uncle Luke spar with the other students. It was the only time Luke’s skill and power were evident outside of the rare emergency, and sparring occurred much more often. Luke held back, of course, but that made his skills more apparent. He knew when to push and when to hold back, creating negative space impression of his abilities.
Ben wanted that power for himself, that level of control. He told himself that was all he wanted when he watched these matches. That he was interested in the raw power his Uncle displayed and not in something more.
