Vos finds him two days later.
And he thinks about Fox.
He wants to believe he got out. Cody wants to believe he’s out there somewhere in the wider galaxy. He finds he misses him. He hasn’t actually thought about him in months, maybe in years, but now he can’t stop, and Cody finds he misses Fox, or the person he used to be. Cody tugs the blankets higher, curls against the wall, and he thinks of Kamino and sharing bunks and fighting and fucking and he thinks about following Fox into this small, nondescript apartment in a run down district so deep under Coruscant’s surface and being an absolute dickhead about it, about the whole thing.
He can’t even remember why, he just knows that he was tired and he was angry and that Fox was there, and that Cody never actually apologised. And then Cody went away, back to the front, and next leave Fox was too busy to meet, and then Cody got hurt and spent the following leave in a bacta tank and never actually got to spend any time on world, and then, and then, and then.
