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 :)

This is a sequel to Chapter 4, following Obi-Wan and Cody on from the moment they left. Prompted by DeathLife97 ( /users/DeathLife97/pseuds/DeathLife97), so thank you very much for this :)

…..

Cody couldn't help but chuckle as General Keno-Sorry….Obi-Wan dragged him into the Jedi Temple, muttering and groaning over his wet tunic which was beginning to stick to his skin.

"Should I really be in here Sir?"

Obi-Wan scoffed, still dragging Cody in an unknown direction. "You're with me Cody, I doubt anyone's going to say anything….and when we're not on duty, it's Obi-Wan remember?"

"….I think you dragging me down the corridor by my hand is going to raise a few eyebrows…Obi-Wan."

The Jedi stopped in his tracks just outside an unknown room, his face flushing slightly….probably from the cold, reasoned Cody. Obi-Wan glanced both ways down the corridor, before resting his hand on the door, causing it to open. Before Cody could comment on this, his General dragged him into the room.

Cody stopped in the middle of the main living area, glancing around at the cosy setting. There were a few plants scattered here and there, with three other doors, probably leading towards the fresher, kitchen and bedroom. "I think that may have raised a few more eyebrows…." Muttered Cody, "….are these your quarters then Gen-Obi-Wan?"

Obi-Wan was striding towards one of the three doors, probably the fresher. He paused, spinning around and grinning at the soldier. "Yes. I moved in shortly after Anakin was knighted. The Master and Padawan quarters seemed far too large and far too quiet for just one person. If you need to dry your armour, there are heaters in the far right corner….if you need dry clothes I can-"

Cody held up a hand to interrupt, "No need…Obi-Wan. The armour protected my clothing well enough from the rain."

An unfamiliar emotion flashed across the Jedi's face, before it fell into neutrality once again. "Very well. You wouldn't mind waiting here for a few minutes would you? I could do with a change of clothes."

"Of course not…Obi-Wan."

Obi-Wan smiled gently at the man, before heading into the fresher and closing the door behind him. As predicted, it was only a few minutes later when Obi-Wan strode back into the sitting area. He seemed a lot more relaxed now that he had dry clothes on and the content expression on the Jedi's face made Cody smile gently at the man.

Quickly realising that he was staring at the man, Cody coughed slightly and turned his attention away from the General, choosing instead to glance around the room. "You know…" he began, "…I didn't think the Jedi Temple would be like this."

He saw Obi-Wan frown slightly out of the corner of his eye as the man twisted around to face him, "I…I don't think I understand. Like what?"

"Well….like any other living quarters I suppose." Cody chuckled, "On Kamino, we all heard rumours about the Temple. That it was a cold, forbidden place where the Jedi sat and meditated for hours on end. There are no comforts such as warm beds or sofas…only the basics in order to fully develop their skills and connection to this mystical Force."

Obi-Wan shook his head in amazement, "I had no idea…."

Cody grinned, glancing at Obi-Wan. "It's a comfort to know it's not like that…."

"Yes….although you are not the first clone to enter the Temple. How did these rumours continue?"

"I believe the older clones simply thought it would be amusing to keep the story going….almost like a traditional clone tale to tell our younger brothers."

Obi-Wan thought to himself for a few minutes before grinning, "I suppose it's a lot like the rumour we tell our younglings about Master Yoda."

"Sir?"

"It's Obi-Wan….we used to hear all sorts of horror stories about the Master. Most of which were completely unfounded…."

"Does he know?"

"O, of that I have no doubt. He makes a habit of teaching to the youngling classes in order to try and dissuade these rumours. The children catch on pretty quickly that he's not such a demon….although, if you've ever been on the other end of his stick, then those rumours seem a little more believable."

Cody chuckled and the pair remained in silence for a few minutes.

Suddenly, Obi-Wan turned to Cody and frowned, "Cody…have you ever thought about what you'll do when this war is over?"

Cody shrugged, "Security probably. Although, some of us may be decommissioned…after all, when the war is over, there isn't really a need for us anymore. And you can only have so many security officers."

"There are hundreds of star systems with hundreds upon thousands of planets! Surely, there is enough space for all of your brothers?"

Cody shrugged, "It's not really our choice….Obi-Wan."

Obi-Wan muttered something under his breath, causing Cody to frown and lean in closer. "Pardon Obi-Wan?"

"I said…." Obi-Wan took a deep breath, "I won't let you be decommissioned Cody….not if I have anything to say about it."

"And if there is nowhere for me to go?"

"…You'll always have a place here."

Cody stared at the Jedi, his eyes wide in shock….nobody, aside from his brothers, had ever stood up for him in such a way, or even vowed to. Slowly, he leaned in closer….until he heard a quiet shuffling from outside of the door, accompanied by a slow tapping.

Quickly, Cody moved away, his hand automatically moving towards where his blaster would usually be. Startled, Obi-wan frowned, "What is it?"

"There's someone outside the door…."

Obi-Wan closed his eyes, before smiling softly and placing a calming hand on Cody's arm. "Peace Cody….he won't harm us."

He waved his hand and the door slid open. A small, green….man (?) slowly limped in, his cane tapping against the floor and humming a soft tune. "Greetings to you, Commander Cody."

His mouth having suddenly gone dry, Cody bowed his head in respect, choosing to ignore Obi-Wan's soft chuckles from beside him.

"It's considered polite to answer…" whispered the younger Jedi.

"Greetings to you as well Master Yoda…" Cody finally managed to blurt out. Whilst he had heard many rumours about the Master Yoda and had fought on the same battlefield as him, meeting the Jedi Master face to face was slightly unnerving.

Yoda chuckled, "Frightened you should not be. Worse than my bite, my bark is."

Cody tried to reply, but found he couldn't say anything else. Beside him, Obi-Wan chuckled. "Say something…." He whispered.

"W-what do you say to a Jedi Master like Master Yoda?"

"Anything you want…..within reason of course."

Cody shifted uncomfortably in his seat, "So…."

Master Yoda shook his head and gestured for Cody to come closer, which Cody was very quick to do. Kneeling down in front of the Master, the clone was alarmed when his face was suddenly grabbed and brought closer to Yoda's own face.

"Hmmmm, a good soul this one has. Approve I do, young Kenobi."

Without even meaning to, Cody found himself smiling at the thought of a Jedi Master such as Yoda, approving of him. Obi-Wan, who had made his way over, bowed in respect. "Thank you Master Yoda…."

Before Obi-Wan could say anything else, Cody's communicator began to beep, causing Cody to rush over to his still drying armour in order to answer it. A little blue hologram of his brother, Rex, popped up. "Cody, where are you? Nobody's seen you for hours!"

Desperately, Cody tried to keep his expression neutral….but judging by the grin that was slowly appearing on Rex's face, he wasn't very successful. "Cody…" smirked Rex slyly, "….are you still with-"

"Sorry Rex! I think you're cutting out! I'll see you soon!"

He switched off the communicator before Rex could say anything else, spinning round and flushing at the knowing look on Master Yoda's face. "A good man, your brother is."

Cody nodded, "They all are…but Rex especially." He glanced at Obi-Wan, "….I should be heading back to the barracks, before they send out a search party for me."

Obi-Wan nodded in agreement, "That may be best. When does your shift end tomorrow?"

"1800 hours."

"I will meet you in the courtyard, there is…" he glanced at Master Yoda, who was humming and staring at a fixed point on the wall, "…something I need to discuss with you."

"I'll be there…"

Quickly, Cody dressed in his armour before rushing out of the door. Smiling, Master Yoda shuffled over to the sofa, "Not this much gossip there has been, since lose his hair, Master Windu did."

Sighing wearily, Obi-Wan shook his head. "What am I doing? I shouldn't be feeling this way, wanting to see him again…."

"Why young one?"

"I-it's forbidden. These feelings…no matter how right they feel."

"Listen to the Force, you should. Only possession is forbidden, not compassion…..not love."

"You really think it might be love?"

"Know not I do…Only you, can really know."

….

The next day, Cody spent in a mixture of nervousness…and dread. More clone troopers had been commissioned to try and end this war quickly. However, with every 100 clone troopers ordered, there was 500 droids fresh out of the factory, ready and waiting. He sighed, before striding away in order to meet General Kenobi.

…..

Meanwhile, Obi-Wan was pacing the courtyard nervously, his mind focused on the upcoming conversation.

"Young one…"

Obi-Wan managed not to flinch in surprise as he was approached by his Grandmaster, "Count Dooku."

"….I assume you have heard the news about the clones."

"They have commissioned more…as if that's going to end the war quicker." Obi-Wan scoffed, his eyes scanning the entrance to the courtyard….oh, there he is!

"General Kenobi. Count Dooku." Greeted Cody, bowing slightly in respect.

"Commander…I see you and young Kenobi have something to discuss. I think I will see you at dinner Obi-Wan?"

"Of course."

"Excellent."

Cody waited until the older man was out of earshot, before saying anything "You've heard the news?"

Obi-Wan nodded as Cody sighed, "There's even more rumours…Fives is convinced this increase in clones is for a much larger purpose than simply taking down droids and winning the war…there are many who agree."

"Fives has a bit of a reputation of being paranoid….still…" Obi-Wan sighed, "…maybe we should speak to the council and bring the issue up in front of the Senate."

Cody shook his head, "Obi…talking isn't going to do anything, especially not from a clone!"

Obi-Wan frowned, "Talking has gotten us out of some delicate situations before…."

"With all respect, not this time….Once two sides want to fight, then nothing will stop them!"

"You believe the Republic wants to continue fighting?!"

"Not all of them, no…but certainly a large majority, the ones earning the credits."

Obi-Wan appeared as though he was going to protest, however, the tapping of a stick interrupted him.

"Aah, hoping to catch you I was." Greeted Master Yoda, "Follow me, you must."

The Jedi Master continued on towards the Jedi Temple, and after a few minutes of bemused silence, Cody and Obi-Wan quickly followed. Master Yoda led them into the Room of a Thousand Fountains, keeping them out of sight from other Jedi's who were meditating. They strode over to a secluded corner, where Yoda beckoned them over to an off fountain. "Today's news, distressing it is…something I must show you, there is."

He dipped his stick into the still water, gently creating ripples to appear in the water.

"The ripples…." Whispered Obi-Wan, seemingly understanding the meaning behind the gesture. Cody, however, was still very confused, "What about them?"

Yoda smiled softly at the clone, before pointing at the ripples. "Small at first, they are….but grow they do. But start them, somebody must."

It clicked in Cody's head, causing him to shake his head. "They're not going to listen to us…not to me."

"The right path, not always the easiest it is."

Obi-Wan and Cody simply stood in silence, causing Yoda to roll his eyes and frown. "See you do not!" He struck them both on the legs with his stick, the unexpected hit causing Obi-Wan to stumble as Cody quickly grabbed him in order to stop the Jedi from falling. "Be together, you two can. Only wen stopped, the fighting has!"

Cody flushed at this, trying not to meet Obi-Wan's eyes.

"Cody…" whispered Obi-Wan, gently out of Cody's grip and taking a hold of the clone's hand, "Master Yoda's right."

"Y-you-"

"Yes Cody….it took a while, but I know the truth now."

Cody could only stare at Obi-Wan in amazement, watching as the Jedi grew nervous at Cody's silence, flushing red as he let go of Cody's hand. "I-I'm sorry, I thought you felt the same, I-"

He stopped in his tracks as Cody gripped his hand and tugged him closer, "Alright…" began Cody, "…let's go speak to someone. Maybe Master Jinn will be of use."

Obi-Wan nodded, not trusting himself to speak as he heard Master Yoda shuffle away. Once he was sure they were alone, Cody wrapped his spare arm around Obi-Wan's waist, pulling him closer until their chest met. He slowly released his grip on the Jedi's hand and, making sure Obi-Wan wasn't going to bolt, he placed his hand on Obi-Wan's cheek and leaned down slightly, pressing his lips on the Jedi's.

The time seemed to fly by, however, Cody knew that they were standing in this lover's embrace for quite some time. When Cody pulled back from the kiss, he was delighted to see a dazed look in Obi-Wan's eyes and the fact that Obi-Wan's arms had made their way around Cody's neck, his fingers gently gripping the hairs on the back of his neck, also delighted Cody.

Quickly, Obi-Wan seemed to come to his senses, but he still didn't move from his position. "Well, that was-"

"Nice?"

"Unexpected…but yes, nice."

Cody grinned, "We can do this."

Obi-Wan nodded and smiled softly, "Yes…yes we can do it."
