cody's poor arm??? <333
Omg you and @meebles had the same ask!
Codyโ€™s Poor Arm is mmm something I tend to return to when I have a bad day and I want to give our dear Cody a worse one. The basic premise is that Cody sustains a severe injury to his arm (crushing/twisting injury, bones spaghetti ๐Ÿ’€) It is beyond the ability of the GAR medics to fix. The Kaminoans get involved. They can guarantee fully restored use of his arm following a two week treatment plan at their Medical Center on Coruscant ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‡ (Cody is unaware that the treatment is ๐Ÿ˜Œ experimental)
Between the Kaminoans, the Senators, the Intrigue, and the literal Sith Lord, Cody has a very bad time on Coruscant. Cue the hurt, and (eventually) the comfort.
Some comfort below:
A cool cloth presses against his closed eyes. Another startled, clean, deep breath goes through him, and he can feel his limbs again.
"Obi-Wan," Cody realizes he's saying, his voice a wreck.
"I'm here," Obi-Wan says, unsteady, then โ€“ "Cody, drink, please."
There is a glass to his lips. He makes a grab for it, stupidly, with his broken arm first. In the wave of pain that comes after, his good hand is shaking so hard that the water is spilling over. Gods. His hands never shake.
Obi-Wan takes the glass from him โ€“ "Darling, dearest," he is saying, voice cracking, "let me help."
Finally, Cody tilts his head back. He reaches, curls trembling fingers around Obi-Wan's on the glass. Together, they press it to his lips again.
The sensation of water on his tongue, blessedly cool and clean, jolts something fractured back into place โ€“ the world seems quieter and smaller and steadier.
He swallows it down, breathes. He lets Obi-Wan raise the glass again.
For some indefinite time, he loses himself in the steady repetition of it โ€“ sipping, swallowing, a slow deep breath. It reminds him strangely of meditation. He becomes aware of Obi-Wan rubbing gentle circles on the back of his neck under the damp rag. By the time the glass is empty and he opens his eyes, everything feels sharp, almost hyper-saturated. Obi-Wan's eyes are the clearest thing he's ever seen.
