but their ex’s

“cody, ex at 10 o’clock,” han mumbles as he enters the bar.

“when do you even have time for dating?” rolling his eyes, cody asks as he carries his drinks back to their table.

the beaten up mandolorian obviously saw them and made their way over

“ok, it is very likely he’ll beat me into oblivion, act cool…” han trailed to himself.

cody on the other hand focused on pulling his robe higher over his head, so no one would see his face.

the mandolorian sat down, blaster pointing at han under the table. “give me one reason why i shouldn’t shoot you now.”

before han had a chance to respond, a soft “vode?” was released by cody. he hears that voice everyday. when he speaks, in dreams of his brothers, in nightmares of the battlefield. to a nat-born, few maybe able to tell due to the modulate voice, but any vod would recognize one of their own.

instead of celebrating seeing a brother, the mandolorian whipped his blaster towards cody. in hopes to calm him, cody cautiously reached up to remove his hood.

“kote?” the voice responded, not moving the blaster.

“i’m sorry,” han butt in, “do you two know each other?”

cody has been teaching han a little mando’a on the side, and it was enough to recognize the word ‘brother’.

“boba, i thought you had no family?”

“boba?” cody trailed his eyes over the armor, “you’re alive?”

boba still didn’t hesitate with the blaster, “what’s it to you? i thought all you meat droids were loyal to the empire now.”

cody stumbled, those words taking more knives to the heart than most things these days, “i- you didn’t know?… the chips-there are chips in our, well obviously not your, head. it came out of no where. we couldn’t control it…”

“they jedi didn’t know.” boba said as a fact, not a question, lowering his blaster as cody trailed off, “how?”

“the stupid kaminii… no one knew. it couldn’t be prevented. my chip, it stopped working after getting hurt to many times. the imps are slowly decommissioning us. ‘a volunteer army is stronger than one forced to fight for them’…”

as the two dwelled on the subject in silence, han still had questions that needed to be asked.

“you still didn’t mention how you know each other?”

both heads turned to him, and he cowered under their scolding looks. boba reached for his helmet and took it off.

“wait, what? you’re identical?… you’re a clone? but you’re young? i was practically dating the closest thing i have to a dad?” it was as if everything han knew was being turned on an axis.

“technically, i’m older than cody here.” at this point han was gaping like a fish.

“but i did raise you. no wonder the two of you dated, you’re too similar.”

tumbles of protests started coming out from their mouths, and cody laughed for the first time in a while.

after contemplating for a moment, he added on, “boba, are you okay? you disappeared after awhile during the clone wars and i didn’t know if you were alive after the empire.”

“i’m fine,” he was closing up, “kenobi knew where i was. and it takes more than a change in government to kill me.”

cody paused a moment, thinking about his general. it was reasonable that he didn’t tell him. boba hates the clones. but it takes more than what he did for cody to hate him. “do you have a stable home? you are still young and traveling all the time isn’t good for you.”

“that’s hypocritical,” he said nodding to han, then pausing. “yes. i do have a home.”

truthfully, cody was shocked at the revelation. “where?” he couldn’t control his words as a “i want to make sure you are alright,” slipped out.

“i can’t say. but, here’s my comm. i should go, bounty and all.” boba placed his helmet back over his head and stood up, “thank you.” before retreating out of the cantina.

a silence fell over the remaining pair, neither knowing what to do. han broke it first, “should we follow him?”

“no. he’ll find his way back.”

cody pays and leaves with han, as the younger rambles about why cody didn’t tell him they knew each other, and how cody is only 3 years older than him, and why he raised boba like that.

But not in a straight way

Not in a “we broke up because we’re bad for each other and then got back together because we both hate ourselves 🤪✌️” way

I want, like, eight-year-old Han conning his way to space specifically so he can hunt out eleven-year-old Boba and kick his ass.

He is not successful in kicking ass. Boba is three years older, physically, and has had extensive Mandalorian battle training. Han is a malnourished street kid who's always gotten by on his cunning, not his fists.

Last week they were both like fifty, and know that the empire is coming up and Sith are happening, and they have vague plans about that, but this Does! Not! Matter! The rivalry comes first! They are here to brawl!
