Codywan Week: Day 5, Fluff @codywanweek

Tooth-rotting fluff is one of my favoritest things. Enjoy!

Cody looked up as his door slid open, squinting as the bright light of the corridor intruded on his dimly-lit quarters. The bundle in his arms squirmed, grumbling a soft complaint.

“Sorry,” Obi-Wan whispered, as the door slid shut again. “How is she?”

“Asleep, finally.” Cody smiled down at the young nautolan they’d discovered while on a mission. Or, rather, she’d found them. One minute he’d been arguing with the General over the directions they’d been given and the next there was a youngling attached to his leg and stuff in nearby stalls had begun to levitate.

He’d let Obi-Wan do all the talking since the girl, Fia, refused to be parted from him. She said his tastefeel was squishy, like marshmallows in Hoth chocolate. It earned him a lot of razzing from the other troopers and Obi-Wan’s grin had been far too delighted, but it was hard to stay mad about it.

She’d been a bundle of energy all day long, asking endless questions and dragging them on a tour of her favorite places in town: bakery, pet emporium, knife-sharpening stall, and a fountain where flocks of birds gathered. Waxer and Boil had taken over the mission from them and had completed it without mishap before they even made it back to the ship. It was nothing short of a miracle, and Cody was considering having the duo take over all of Obi-Wan’s little “side missions.” The only casualties of the day were a couple of clay pots Fia had broken with her impromptu levitation trick, and a steady stream of credits at the various locales they’d visited.

“I can see why young Fia thinks you’re squishy,” Obi-Wan teased.

Cody made a rude gesture he probably couldn’t see and shifted to make room for him on the bunk. His General sat beside him, back propped against the wall, but their arms and legs touching. Cody flushed warm as Obi-Wan leaned even closer, brushing his fingers against Fia’s brow.

“You’re very good with her,” he murmured.

“I had a lot of practice helping out with the younger vode.” Trying not to sound too pleased at the compliment, he tilted his head to look at Obi-Wan, only to realize the General’s face was right there, even if his attention was focused on the youngling in Cody’s arms. He held his breath.

“You ever think about having one of your own someday, Cody?”

Obi-Wan’s gaze shifts to him and his thoughts go into a tailspin. 

“Me?? I... That wouldn’t...” The intensity of the moment is too much to bear, but he can’t seem to turn his head away.

“Perhaps I’ll get a Padawan.” Obi-Wan’s fingers brush against Cody’s knuckles, sending little jolts of electricity through him. “Would you help me raise her?”

“Of course, sir.” It’s the only thing he can say, though the ache in his chest from the sheer truth of it is overwhelming. There is nothing he’d love more, except maybe-

“Obi-Wan.”

Their noses are touching. It’s getting harder to think.

“I like to hope we’re at the point where you can use my first name, Cody.”

He opens his mouth, and at first, nothing comes out. After a few rattling heartbeats, he finds his voice again. “Of course... Obi-Wan.”

That smile goes right through him.

“May I...” A hand reaches up, fingers brushing against his temple. “May I kiss you? Please?”

He almost loses his voice again, but manages a rough “yeah,” and then they’re kissing. It’s tender, but intense, and the prickle of Obi-Wan’s beard against his mouth sends little shivers through him.

A/N: What? Another fanfic? Yup and this one goes out to @rii--flect love you!!!

It had been a few days since the female arrived into the future.

It was bright just like he said.

But something was missing, missing for her.

Her friends, Maddi and Ruby.

They formed a team, Team Sunshine where the young butterfly was leader and she and the feline were her support. They went through thick and thin together.

She didn’t realise how lonely she’d be without them. Sure she was happy, beyond ecstatic but…she missed her friends.

Like right now she was sitting on her bed, looking outside the window while her distressed boyfriend knocked on her door. “Rii? Rii? Hmmmmmm….”

“Leave me be Silver….I need some time to be alone….” She grumbled, hoping he would just leave her be. Silence followed for a while, she felt relieved that he finally left.

So she thought.

There was tapping at her window, she was facing the door at the time so when she turned around she fell off her bed, screaming. Oh how she forgets that her boyfriend can bloody FLY but of course he was still trying to get in. With a sigh she approaches the window, moving her hands to lift the window open.

“Come on you can’t stay inside all day Rii”

“But I want too. You can’t just float there and-“ Before she could finish her sentence she was dragged out the window and into his arms.

“Whoa! Hey!” she hit him in the shoulder. “You nearly gave me a heart attack!” she snapped but he only chuckled as he adjusted his hold on her and took to the skies.

It was very therapeutic to feel the wind in your hair, or at least Rii felt that way right now, the feeling of him so close and how soft he is just make her feel so much better.

“So….how you feeling now?” the ivory hedgehog asked, his companion turns to face him. “Yeah I’m feeling much better, thank you”

He gave her a smile.

And what a lovely smile it is.

She turned her face away, trying desperately to hide the blush on her cheeks.

But how silly it was, to try and hide things from one who has psychic gifts.

The pair spent hours flying around this vibrant place, until of course he had to settle to the ground, using so much ESP gets tiring sometimes so a break was in order.

There was a cool breeze blowing as the silence became still. It was calming, nice a gentle reminder that this world was not yet in ruin.

The fennec fox lets out a sigh after a few moments, turning to her companion.

“I miss them Silver…” she showed him the gift they gave to her before she left, a golden locket with a centre that splits 3 ways, each one filled with a photo. One of her, Maddi and Ruby.

“I know you do Rii, that’s why I wanted to bring you out here today. They miss you too I’m sure of it” he puts a hand on her shoulder, she gives him a smile in comfort.

“How about we visit them once in a while huh? Would that…help you feel better?”

She looked up at him, eyes wide.

“Are you kidding me? That sounds amazing~” In happiness, she threw her arms around him catching him somewhat off guard.

But it was all a part of the plan.

The eternal plan.

Harry waves back shyly and looks away, toeing his boots along the hardwood floor. He’s 31 and a boy is making him nervous. He scrunches up his eyebrows and scoffs.

He’s 31. And there’s a boy. Screw it.
