Codywan Week Day 8: Anniversary
Summary: Cody and Obi-Wan spend their first anniversary together on Alderaan. Both of them make sure to make it a special night. With both of them having plans for the other, they spend their evening together.
It was Cody and Obi-wan's one year anniversary. Despite never celebrating a romantic anniversary, Cody was determined to make it special. He wasn't quite sure how. There was no one he could ask that wouldn't make it suspicious so he had to figure out what to do on his own.
So he started to plan a week before. They make sure that you both have the day off. They have been invited to Alderaan for a political conference. The two would leave Coruscant three days before their anniversary. Their anniversary date was the day after the conference. Bail Organa had wanted them to stick around for a day after the conference to make sure everything went smoothly. It was perfect.
After making sure they were free, he found out what kind of food he needed to put together. He settled on chicken parmesan with spaghetti as they both liked and it seemed to be something easy enough to make.
Then the clone commander wandered the woods trying to find a good spot for a picnic. It needed to be far enough away from the public that they did not have to worry about anyone stumbling upon them. He found an area that had a flat rock but was still surrounded by trees. They were mostly pine trees and oak trees. Being surrounded by the trees made the area smell amazing so he didn't have to worry about any candles. After all those could start forest fires.
Then he needed something to wear. While most of the time his armor is what he wore, he figured that some basic civilian clothes would be best for this outing. So he went to talk to Rex to see if he knew of anything he could borrow. Soon his brother brought him a pair of black pants and a white shirt. Cody thanked him and made sure he packed them when planning the trip.
Obi-wan seemed excited. Cody wasn't sure if it was just getting away from the war or if he felt that he had something planned for their anniversary. Either way the clone loved to see him so excited.
Once on Alderaan, Cody went to find all the ingredients he would need for their dinner. He borrowed a picnic basket from one of Senator Organa's friends after he had been talking to himself about needing one.
While in the woods the day before, Cody searched for some flowers that he could give his partner the next day.
The day of their anniversary came and Cody told Obi-wan he had a surprise for him. Obi-wan told him he had one as well. The two laughed, both slightly hoping they didn't plan the same thing.
Cody had Obi-wan follow him into the woods. He took his hand and led to the spot he had carefully picked out. There the picnic had already been set up as well as a bottle of wine sitting in the middle of the blanket. Bail had given it to them to celebrate a successful conference.
"Oh Cody. This is perfect." The two sat down on the blanket and talked for hours. The shared kisses and held hands under the protection of the hidden woods. This situation was ideal for them.
After their dinner, Obi-wan took them further into the woods. They walked hand in hand up a steep hill that led to the edge of a cliff. There the Jedi had set up flowers and some small candles. There was also a small record player off to the side. "I wanted to dance with you." Obi-wan explained.
Cody smiled as he took Obi-wan's other hand in his. "Then we dance."
So Obi-wan turned on the music and started helping Cody figure out how to dance. It wasn't something he had ever been taught but it was something he knew he wanted to do as long as Obi-wan did.
Cody would do anything Obi-wan wanted him to do. So they danced as the sun went down. The sunset was filled with brilliant reds and oranges.
"The sunset reminds me of you." Obi-wan said.
Smiling, Cody kissed him. "Thank you Cyare." As the night progressed, they stopped dancing and sat down on the cliff. The rocks were smooth which made the ground flat enough to dance in the first place.
They continue to talk. Soon talking turned into cuddling and cuddling turned into kissing. Both men's hands traveled the other's bodies. They knew each other's sensitive spots and where they liked to be held and kissed.
As they kissed, Cody broke their connection and started to kiss Obi-wan's neck. The Jedi caught his breath before suggesting that they return back to their room for the night. They could return in the morning and pick up everything they had set up that night, as long as they put the candles out before they left.
Cody agreed and they blew out the candles. They didn't make it far before stopping at their picnic spot to make sure there was nothing they needed to bring in that night. Before they left, they started kissing again. The commander pushed his general into a tree and pushed his body into his lovers. He grabbed his waist and pulled him close.
"Not here" Obi-wan whispered. "Be patient love."
Kissing him again, Cody moved. Then the two made their way back to their room where they would spend the night together, tangled up with each other. It was the perfect day for the two of them. That morning they knew they would return to their normal lives, fighting in a war and remaining secretive about their relationship.
Their second anniversary they spent on a battlefield. That night came a few months before the end of the war. It was a quiet but stressful night. With no ring, Cody asked Obi-wan to marry him. He swore he would give him one once they were safe and he could find one.
"Of course I will." Obi-wan had told him. "I love you."
"I love you too." With no one around the two shared a quick kiss before continuing to plan how they were to win this battle. Of course they would and once they returned the Jedi Temple Cody would find a simple ring that he could give his lover. The Jedi kept it on the necklace so that it would be easier to hide.
Once they had matching rings, Obi-wan added his to the necklace with his engagement ring. Cody found a chain and made sure that he kept his necklace under his shirt.
Even as the years passed, the memories of their first two anniversaries stayed with the two even after they were forced to split up by the end of the war. Neither removed their necklaces for a long time. Cody moved his ring to his finger once he escaped the empire.
Their first anniversary however, was their night and no one would take that night from them. Not the empire, not the Jedi, and not the sith. That night belonged to them forever and always. No one could take their love from them, even after everything that had happened. After all sometimes it was all they had left. Love.
I love Alderaan, I hope nothing bad happens to that planet...

Star Wars is a dystopia, and why Lost Stars is my favorite Star Wars novel.
(Vague spoilers only) Really, I just love any Star Wars media that strongly represents the dystopia that Star Wars is. Lost Stars, Inferno Squadron, Aftermath, Fate of the Jedi, and Andor all spotlight various parts of this dystopian galaxy.
In lost stars the main characters, Ciena and Thane go from being children on a planet not yet part of the empire, to training as their planet begins to change, to being well oiled cogs in the imperial machine.
It shows very clearly the change a person must go through to be within the empire without breaking. How it starts with the compromises you make with yourself, justifying atrocities in the name of peace. Dehumanizing entire groups of people, with the help of the propaganda around you telling you the rebellion are vicious terrorists that must be destroyed at any cost.
From one angle lost stars is about a very special relationship two people have with each other even though the most turbulent of times but what I see is an incredibly well done description of the internal struggle of two imperial soldiers as the Empire grows and fights to crush the rebellion.
How can someone who is not entirely evil be complicit in the destruction of an entire planet. Of millions of innocent lives. Of cultures.
How do they become more biased, desensitized, and cold to the plight of other beings?
what comprises does it start with?
The time of the Empire was one where absolute control at any cost was valued. Alderaan was turned into rubble, to send a message to the rebellion. Jedha city, a place with incredible cultural significance, was leveled to kill the rebels, the terrorists as they were called by the empire. Mandalore was glassed. How do you justify that? Again, an armed populace, some of which joined the rebellion whom I reiterate were called terrorists in imperial propaganda.
There are so many more layers to the dystopia that Star Wars is but for now I leave you with this. For me, Star Wars as a dystopia is so captivating because it’s so familiar.
The dystopian elements of Star Wars are familiar to me.
