#batchmates

So, like Cody is the ori’vod of his batch in this fic and I’m sitting here on vacation thinking about how that plays out. Like somehow he’s been able to hide his huge fat crush on Obi-Wan from them, but not his own men. Sort of.

Rex has an idea, but thinks it’s more of an awe-struck feeling over natborns being nice than actual feelings.

Cody: *Staring at Obi-Wan after he compliments him*

Rex: Man, my brother really doesn’t know how to handle natborns being nice to him. Takes him off guard every time.

Honestly, I think the only one that would have a clue is Fox. Not because he’s witnessed anything, but because of shit he’s overheard in the drunk tanks.

Waxer: *Drunk and complaining.* The Commander really needs to get his shit together.

Fox: *Actively listening now because that’s his ori’vod.*

Boil: *Just as drunk and just as over Cody’s bullshit.* Yeah, his heart eyes are going to kill me. Wish the General would figure it out for them instead!

Fox: Blackmail!

Ponds and Wolffe are rarely around Cody when Obi-Wan is there. But when they are, Cody does his best to make sure they don’t notice. These are the two who would give him the most shit, after all.

Ponds: Do you remember when Cody cried because Prime looked at him funny?

Wolffe: Or the time that Cody got decked by Neyo and had to be sent to the med center?

Cody: Come on, we all have moments like that as cadets.

Ponds: Yeah but most cadets don’t fall off into the ocean.

Cody: I was trying to help Rex! He dropped his—

Bly would be the first one Cody tells, because Bly is hopelessly in love with his general and everyone knows. But Cody doesn’t want every conversation he has with his brother to be about their generals.

Bly: So, yeah that’s what General Secura did.

Cody: Interesting, but you also said there was some kind of flying animal on this planet?

Bly: Oh boy, let me tell you. One of those fuckers nearly took of my arm. I want one as a pet and I want to train them to piss on Wolffe and Fox.

Cody: Tell me more.

While Tech and Omega inspect Azi's mechanics he triggers a recording from deep within the droid's memory. Echo recognizes someone from the memory and Tech reveals more about the Bad Batch that Echo had ever considered.

Thire: fine I’ll just temporarily promote a leuitenant

[CC-2224] “Cody”: again, I’m going to pretend I just never saw the contents of this chat

Bly: too late, if I have to see this, I’m dragging you down with me

[CT-7657] “Rex”: you can just temporarily promote men?

Ponds: officially?

Thire: No

Thire: but who’s checking

Cody: the TWO MARSHAL COMMANDERS IN THIS CHAT, THIRE

Cody: THAT’S WHO

Bly: excuse you don’t bring me into this

Rex: it’s a brilliant idea

Rex: can you also temporarily demote men?

Rex: cause if so, I’m doing that the next time general Skywalker gets on my nerves

Ponds: lmao just ask my general to do that for you, he’d probably be glad to put skywalker in timeout with kenobi

Bly: :o

Cody: not everyone sings endless praises about their general like you do, Bly

Wolffe: you’re one to talk

Rex: oh kriff

Thire: this batch is a nightmare

Ponds: at least you’re here voluntarily

Cody: tread very carefully, vod

Cody: or I’ll tell them the real reason behind your name

Wolffe: you wouldn’t

Cody: I would

Wolffe: and on that note

Wolffe: I have information to pry out of an inebriated fox’ika

Thire: please don’t get too drunk I still need Fox functional tomorrow

Wolffe: no promises

A/N: after the events of Chapter 9 of Ruby and Gold. You can find it on my Foxiyo masterlist.

[Chat: Disaster Batch] Welcome [CC-2224], [CC-5052], [CC-3636], [CC-6454], [CC-1010]

[CC-3636] Wolffe: well boys

Wolffe: looks like our fox’ika is all grown up now

[CC-5052] Bly: *gasp*

Bly: fox’ika is this true???

[CC-6454] Ponds: imma have to put this on mute bc droids

Ponds: but fox’ika vod

Ponds: welcome to the blue girlfriend club, population: you and Bly

Bly: if the droids or Fox don’t kill you

Bly: I will

[CC-2224] Cody: wait, where is Fox?

Wolffe: oh, he’s trying to find his comm unit under his bunk

Wolffe: I’m reading this out loud to him until he does

Cody: I wish I could be surprised but

Cody: the two of you together somehow always end up like this

Wolffe: we resent that

[CC-1010] Fox: I resent you right now

Wolffe: and yet I’m still your favorite

Fox: at the moment I like the entire senate more than you

Bly: but is it true

Fox: of course it’s not true

Wolffe: that’s not what you said last night

Fox: you got me drunk last night di’kut

Cody: it’s not just wolffe that’s been worried about you fox’ika

Fox: what the kriff does that mean

Fox: ...one of the Guard told you something

Bly: Thire

Fox:

Fox: the GAR is about to be down two commanders

Cody: just once let me have plausible deniability

Wolffe: Fox, you’ve been wearing her jewelry under your blacks for months now

Bly: woah woah whAT

Wolffe: and you gave her your blaster

Wolffe: did you know that exchanging gifts like that is a declaration of intention to court in some cultures?

Fox: you’re not serious

Cody: no he actually is

Cody: happened to Skywalker accidentally

Cody: twice

Fox: I

Fox: don’t

Fox: have feelings

Fox: for the Senator.

Bly: you don’t want to acknowledge them, at least

Wolffe: do you even hear yourself Bly

Fox: chuchi is friendly to all the men, and it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t treat her in the same manner

Cody: vod... you gave her your blaster.

Cody: that alone means more than what you’re saying to us now

Fox: tell that to yourself next time you tell us about carrying kenobi’s lightsaber, kote

Fox: she is a senator and proved deserving of our respect

Fox: there is nothing else going on

Fox: so back. off.
