Forgive me if I've just forgotten but, what about a scenario where neither of them are available, and it's only Paz around when Boba realises he's going into rut? Just a man and his good puppy....

srsly bellsy you give me some of the best asks

Can we take a moment and consider, younger cubi Din befriending the hermit who lives out in the Dune Sea? Din chased a bounty out that way once and wound up shocked into cooperation by the older man who suddenly just... Appeared out of a cave? And offered him a drink and a meal?? When Din was carrying a corpse back to his ship??? The whole thing was so confusing that Din just wound up agreeing out of instinct and wound up sharing a meal (with a quickly-constructed screen) before even realizing quite what's going on.

Obi-wan isn't familiar with cubi, he doesn't know exactly what's going on with Din, but he gets some sense through the force of what Din needs to survive (though he can't exactly tell Din, not without revealing how he knows). So obi-wan does his best to be attentive and affectionate with his new friend, and he's pleasantly surprised when Din comes back a couple months later, next time he's on Tattooine.

(he's less surprised when they fall into bed together, but obi-wan's an incorrigible flirt and Din's surprisingly receptive)

okay so first off thank you for notspoilers, im not being super circumspect abt avoiding spoilers but I am trying

second this is adorable????? and I love it. obi is also one of my og blorbos and im so happy to see him again 🥰

AND THEN YOU HIT ME WITH THEM FALLING INTO BED

just saying: you realize din's like. college undergrad-mqybe grad student age at the point Kenobi is set? so probably they'd meet, Din'd stop by periodically, and maybe at some point he's planning to head out to see the crazy wizard but first he's desperately horny so he's just gonna pick up a rando before he heads out

but Crazy Ben is in town bc the Force poked him "grocery shopping" or shit and then voila: chance meeting, like:

Din stumbling against a wall in an alley with some creep getting handsy

Obi misreading the situation and intervening all "this is not the hookup you are looking for 👋"

Din: I mean I appreciate the gesture but I really need to be fucked rn

Obi, picking up the Vibes in the Force: ah. I see. well, you could go back in there and find another being of questionable morals and ethics. or we can go back to my place, have some tea, and get down to business.

and Din is so on edge and also exhausted and it would be nice to spend some "quality time" with someone he doesn't have to worry abt going for his buy'ce or the rest of his armor (previous occasions have shown Ben respects such things)

His bonding scar hasn't even finished healing yet, and then... this. They spent so much of the evening following his bond with Din emphasising their claim on Paz to rid the stink of that other from him, but now this???

...are you done making it hurt more?

why won't he touch them? does he at least let them reach out to comfort him? or does he flinch away, put distance between him and them?🥲💔💔💔

What if they've been listening to the rumours of discord among Boba Fett's pack, they've observed enough and inferred the rest (still falsely believing Paz is unbonded). They think it's such a shame this beautiful warrior specimen has clearly been overlooked.

They corner Paz shortly after the original scent marking and treat him so nicely with gifts of the finest new carbines off the market, cooing to him when he holds the new weapons in his hands, flattered and confused.

"You deserve fine things. You deserve... to be pampered."

Paz quickly sets his gift back on the table. An argument is on the tip of his tongue because even the suggestions feel blasphemous. The vode's existence is a utilitarian one. Any resource lavished on one is something that could have been spread among at least three.

That is, if he was still among the tribe.

His admirer presses on. "Don't you deserve to have your needs considered, too?"

Paz shrinks inward, repulsed at the mere suggestion. To even think about it makes his gut churn in shame. That was not his role. That was not the Way.

"Wouldn't it be nice... to be protected? Cared for the way you fight for these people?"

Paz begins to argue. He reaches for the easiest example to counter the suggestion he doesn't already benefit from those things... His voice cracks in his throat.

When was the last time?

Loyalty and solidarity... there must have been.

His admirer presses warm and firm along the right of his body and he's too stunned considering their words to stop the sympathetic arm that props on his shoulder, nor the hand encircling his wrist in comfort.

Their voice is hushed and warm. "When was the last time someone put it all on the line for you? Don't you deserve to be cherished?"

Paz's jaw tightens, trembling with the surprise of emotion that also brings the sting of hot tears to his eyes. He realises he's shaking his head not because he's agreeing but because these questions are absurd. The words make him ache, make him feel small and foolish and so, so vulnerable he can't stand it--

"Don't you deserve to be first for a change?"

And with that, Paz's heart falls through his stomach. His throat feels swollen shut when he swallows past the hot stone abruptly lodged there.

... First? What would that even look like?

(don't listen to them, Paz, it's a trap)

(or is it?)

actual footage of me as I read this

bells. how d a r e. you know I have 4.5k fic outline already. and now t h i s? "a man like that" was supposed to be just some silly horny territorialism. a oneshot.

now?

*sighs as I start working this into my previous plans*

this is going to make the payoff better, I know that... but d a m m i t 😂💀

that is an excellent idea, anon, thank you for the imagery 🔥🙏

the idea of ppl "tasting" different is really interesting, too. I think it's more like... Paz and Boba and Fennec and Cobb love Din in different ways, so the Vibes they put out have different "flavors"; if Din's craving devotion, he goes looking for Paz; if he wants to feel someone's pride in him, he finds Fennec to challenge him; if he's feeling like smug satisfaction and adoring greed, he bullies Boba's thighs wide around his shoulders and gets to work. and there's limitless variations, these are jsut examples i could think of.

so tl;dr yes, Cubi can have "cravings" for certain Vibes and Din is slowly learning he's allowed and encouraged to seek them out from his partners when he's hungry
