These are just little random one-shots that I will be doing about the relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. They will be updated as often as I can, and if any wants me to expand on any of them or if you have a prompt for me, just say in the review :)
/words\\ = Bond speak
Please read and review :)
Prompt from Guest: Chapter 33 was also really really great, and has sparked its own little request in my head.
Poor Cody and Rex and the rest of the 212th and 501st have to watch as Obi does all sorts of crazy things and throws himself at danger over and over. How about a little fluff where Cody is patching up his wounded general and gives him a piece of his mind?
Could be a post-33, or something entirely different? Bromance or Cody-Wan, whatever you feel like.
…
He was sure that one of the first things they ever learnt when becoming to be a Jedi, was how to get into trouble.
General Kenobi was always rushing into danger.
Cody has seen his General's knee dislocate after defending them from a wild Wampa on Hoth. The General's broken his collarbone after being slammed into a building and Cody's sure the man has at least three ribs that never quite healed right.
And that's not even mentioning the concussions.
General Kenobi had rushed into danger once again, confident that he could deal with the issue. Cody was too busy dealing with the Clankers, when he saw Obi-Wan be thrown into a wall out of the corner of his eye.
He knew from the crunch and the way the General didn't immediately curse under his breath, that the chances of a serious head injury were high.
Once all the clankers were down, Cody found himself on his knees, fisting his hands in the sleeves of Obi-Wan's tunic before he even registered what he was going or that he'd even moved. Obi-Wan was awake now, his eyes tracking Cody's movements.
"General? General? How many fingers am I holding up!"
Obi-Wan just stared blankly at him.
"Kirff!"
…
Cody bundled his General into the ship, resisting the urge to curse in front of the other men as they sped off towards Coruscant. He rushed towards the small med-bay that was on the ship, knowing that he needed to see how badly Obi-Wan was hurt.
The General kept fuzzing in and out of lucidity, and that was not a good sign.
"Cody…" Obi-Wan muttered by his side, his voice slow like the name was a thought he was still dredging out of the back of his mind while he said it, "… Cody, you 'kay?"
"Yes General… I'm alright. But we need to get you looked at by the Healers."
"Mmmmm, it's not that bad." Obi-Wan's head lolled forward a little, prompting Cody to gently shake him, one hand on the man's thigh.
"Obi-Wan, wake up…. You need to stay awake until the Healers have had a look at you. Make sure there are no internal injuries."
Obi-Wan blinked up at him, "You're warm."
"Cody had to smile, "You're concussed."
"So?" Obi-Wan said belligerently, "It's not the first time… I know what I'm doing,"
"You know what you're doing, being concussed?" Cody asks, using the logic that, if he can keep Obi-Wan arguing, then he's keeping him awake. They'll in a safe area of the galaxy soon, and all he needs to do is just check, just satisfy himself that his General doesn't have a serious injury and then they can both sleep it all off.
But for now, Obi-Wan has to stay awake.
"I have had a lot of practice…" Obi-Wan slurred, "… Master used to say I gave him grey hairs with how often i- "
"You're giving me grey hairs as well!" Cody gently shook Obi-Wan's leg, "I wish you wouldn't keep rushing into danger like this… we can take care of ourselves, you don't need to keep doing this."
"You…" Obi-Wan frowned, like his was thinking hard about it and the words weren't coming to him fast enough, "… You worry… I'm the- I'm supposed to look after you."
The ship was starting to slow down, indicating that they were heading into safe space.
"I'm supposed to look after you…" Obi-Wan insisted again.
"And yet… here you are, not able to walk on your own. Again."
"… 'M sorry."
Cody shook his head, "It's fine, just… try not to do it again?"
"Mmmmm."
That…. That was not convincing at all.
…..
The Med-Bay that was in the ship was very basic. Cody made the General sit on the end of the bed and knelt down, so that he could get a look into Obi-Wan's eyes without him falling over.
He still had to hold the other man's head up.
Both pupils were blown huge, but the same size…. Probably… maybe…. Kriff!
Cody couldn't afford to be probably-maybe about that. He got up off his knees, wincing as Obi-Wan grabbed at his wrist.
"I need to get a light…" Cody explained, "… I need to see the extent of the damage."
He kept the beam just shy of being directly in Obi-Wan's eyes, sighing in relief when the General's pupils went down to pinpricks and then widened back up to normal-ish.
"Okay, I don't think you're bleeding in the head." Cody sighed in relief, "Time for some sleep I think."
"Alright." Said Obi-Wan, agreeable like he almost never was when he wasn't suffering from head trauma, falling back against the mattress. As Cody went to moved away, he felt the General grab his hand.
"C'mere…" the General gently ordered.
"Obi-Wan…" Cody protested, even though he just wanted to give in. It's a weakness he can't seem to shrug off – the need to hold his General when the older man was hurt, "… Obi-Wan, w-we can't- "
"- Cody." Obi-Wan's voice was firm, despite the slight quiver in it, "C'mon…. it's cold."
"… I should leave you in that bed…" Cody sighed, "… It would serve you right for running into danger all the time."
"Mmmmm."
"… Fine." Cody slowly encouraged Obi-Wan to lie down, before lying down next to him, gently pulling the General closer, until his lips were near the older man's ear.
"Please…" he whispered, "… please don't worry me like that again."
"… love you Cody."
"I love you too Obi-Wan."
