Oh, I love tiny clones! Could Obi-wan get a kiss from Cody before Cody gets big again? Or they find a way to use the shrinking ray to shrink Cody from time to time?
The shrink ray has a seventy two hour
limit.
Three days.
But that’s good, it means the clones
can go back to normal on their own and Anakin is fascinated with the
tech and what it could mean for Obi-Wan’s future. They’ve already
established that it can’t enlarge Obi-Wan, there’s a warning
through the Force when they prodded at the idea.
Obi-Wan gets the sensation that such an
attempt may kill him honestly, his body is to used to being small,
his organs will not handle being enlarged.
But perhaps for the future he can be
big?
Perhaps.
But he has three days to spend with
Cody and the others. Three days of interacting with people his own
size and three days of curling into a warm body and learning how a
hand on his shoulder feels or fingers in his hair.
Three days of feeling Cody against his
side when he wakes up.
Most of the 212 sleep in the same bed
in the Jedi temple at the moment, just to ensure that they are well
cared for, Rex staying with them but Cody sleeps in Obi-Wan’s
little bed in his and Anakin’s shared quarters.
Its comfortable and Cody never pushes
him for more then to hold him tight.
Its…
Its more then Obi-Wan could hope for.
It makes him want things, things he never wanted before. It makes him
think that dating Cody might a good idea. That this could be
something he could do and Anakin’s already stealthily told him that
the shrinking tech could be used for the future…
And then quickly added for shrinking
down things like comms for Obi-Wan temporarily while winking.
“You know, not that I’m suggesting
anything, but I could make a replica.” Anakin offered while cooking
breakfast, Obi-Wan sitting on the counter to watch what he made and
Cody on the kitchen table watching the Jedi.
“A replica?”
“Yes, of the shrink ray. No one would
need to know…” He let that hang even as he turned the flatcakes
carefully.
“I don’t know Anakin…its advanced
tech, it shouldn’t be played around with.” Obi-Wan hesitated,
tempted to just agree.
“I wouldn’t mind being an
occasional guinea pig.” Cody offered as loudly as he could from the
table.
“And hear me out Obi-Wan, we could
shrink down other things for you. Tech that needs to be checked and
updated regularly but shrunken down for your size. You can’t tell
me that you don’t want a wrist comm.” Anakin pointed out.
“I…guess.” Obi-Wan frowned before
sighing and nodding. “But please Anakin, ask for permission. Use me
as the reason for it if necessary.”
“You’re much to selfless Obi-Wan,
one day its going to get you in trouble.” Anakin put the pancake on
a plate and put it on the table for Obi-Wan and Cody, helping Obi-Wan
over to the table. “What do you two want on it?”
“Blueberry syrup would be nice.”
Cody looked at Obi-Wan.
“Yes! Sugar!” Obi-Wan beamed then
cleared his throat. “What I mean is that blueberry syrup is nice.”
“You know that means soypro and
vegetables for lunch and dinner.” Anakin chuckled before adding the
syrup.
“I know, I know, I know my diet
better then you Anakin.”
“Hey, I’m not getting yelled at
like Dooku was.” The knight grinned and turned back to the stove.
With Anakin’s back to them, Obi-Wan
leaned in and pecked Cody on the lips. “When you’re back to
normal, we’re going on that date you offered.” He whispered.
Cody stared at him, eyes wide before
beaming and trapping the other in a tight hug, nodding. “Y-Yes…yes
of course.”
