Demonically Disabled

Jango takes his eyes off his kids for 2 seconds and when he looks back Cody has vanished. Before he can panic Ponds and Fox are giggling and staring at something across the market. He follows their gaze and finds his missing menace with his buy'ce off talking to a little redhead. A little Jedi.

Jango goes "hells no" snatches Cody up by the scruff and marches away. But it's too late because Cody had already traded com numbers with the Jedi.

Anyway. This would be a starcrossed/forbidden love story, except for the part where Cody does not give a single shit about any of that forbidden romance shit. This is a romcom with sprinkles of angst. He is smitten. Obi-wan is also smitten. Its adorable and tooth rotting and gross. Cody will be marrying that Jedi, and no one can stop him.

Jango finds Cody giggling at his com one day and asks who he's talking to. Cody goes "my jedi friend Obi-wan. The one from the market.". Jango wants to snatch the com away and toss it into a lake but talking to Obi-wan makes Cody really happy, and he cant bring himself to crush his sons happiness.

He figures that Cody will get bored trying a long distance friendship with Obi-wan eventually and that will be the end of it.

It is not the end of it. It is very much not the end of it.

One day he finds Fox making a disgusted face at his com and asks whats wrong. Fox goes "Obi-wan introduced me to his vod Quinlan." Jango asks why he seems mad about it. "Cause Quinlan is a little shit." Jango informs him he really really doesn't have to talk to the Jedi. Fox just scoffs "No. I'm gonna."

A few years go by and one night while they are sitting down for dinner Rex, in revenge for Cody stealing his last candy, announces to the whole room that "Cody's got a big giant crush on his nerdy Jedi friend!". In return Cody launches over the table and tackles Rex to the floor with a war cry. By the time Jango and his riduur (idk who yet) get them apart he's almost forgotten why they were fighting. Almost. He tries to figure out how to talk Cody out of his crush on a jedi.

He tries to introduce him to some of the other kids his age. Doesn't work, but Cody has more friends who arent his brothers now.

He tries to bring up the political ramifications of a child of the Mand'alor getting involved with a Jedi. Cody nods along until the end, then tells Jango that he will inform Obi-wan when Cody asks if he can court him, so they know what kind of reception they will receive.

Jango tries to forbid it, feeling like the worst father in the galaxy as he does it. Cody looks heartbroken for a single moment before he gets that stubborn look on his face ( jango really hates that look) and tells Jango "He's gonna be my riduur and you cant stop me.".

Jango throws up his hands. Maybe, he thinks wildly and desperately, they wont like each other if they meet in person.

When Cody is 17 Jango finds him crying in a storage closet. He's never seen Cody this upset before. All he can understand between Codys sobs is that it involves something about Obi-wan. He thinks Obi-wan broke his sons heart. Until Cody hits play on a message he received from Obi-wans vod Quinlan telling him Obi-wan was missing and presumed dead. That they found evidence of Sith activity in the area and Obi-wans bloody cloak and lightsaber. "I think the sith took him cause of me." Cody admits.

Jango grits his teeth and goes to pack a bag. He doesn't tell anyone where he's going, he knows the Sith have spies in his system, Cody knows that too, its why he thinks this is his fault. Everyone knows Cody is friends with a Jedi. A lot know Cody is in love with his Jedi.

Jango tells himself he's doing this because Obi-wan knows too much about Cody to leave him in Sith hands, but he can't get the absolute shattered look in Codys eyes out of his head. He would do anything to keep his sons happy and healthy.

Jango manages to track Obi-wan down to a planet on the border between Hutt space and Sith space. He finds Obi-wan chained up and taunting his guards. The kid looks like he's been tossed around a pit of shattered glass. Jango drops in and kills the guards. By the time he gets the cell open Obi-wan has somehow already gotten himself out of his cuffs. And gives Jango a cheeky thanks for the distraction.

Jango ends up taking Obi-wan back to Mandalore with him to recover. The enite flight back he can't help but think that Obi-wan is actually a pretty good fit for Cody. He's salty about it.

Obi-wan has barely set foot off the ship before Cody is there wrapping him in his arms and dragging him away to the medics.
