CODY AND MAUL GETTING ALONG OUT OF SPITE? FRIENDS BASED ON MUTUAL HATE FOR EACH OTHER? (takes place in this au)
somehow, maul realizes how close kenobi is to cody, and cody gets captured. maul is all like “SIT IN YOUR CELL AND ROT IN YOUR DESPAIR” and being a huge maniac until cody just starts ranting about how irresponsible kenobi will be without him.
maul: i have captured you >:)
cody: fuck now obi-wan is gonna be an idiot and forget to take care of himself
maul:
maul: this isn’t the kind of shit talking i usually partake in when it comes to kenobi but i can vibe
so soon palps hits maul up, and does that weird creepy drawl, saying “you have captured the commander? good. gooooooood. now kill him.”
but maul and cody are vibing and shit talking about kenobi together, plus maul knows that palpatine is just manipulating both sides of the war, so he just hangs up and doesn’t.
fox walks in and palpatine is banging his head on the desk.
obi-wan rescues him four hours later and is kind of concerned that maul did absolutely nothing to him, but cody just grabs the general by the shoulders, looks him dead in the eye, and goes “you cUT HIM IN HALF SIR?”
somewhere in the galaxy maul is wheezing himself to death.
========================
alternatively, maul and anakin talking shit about kenobi.
maul just happens to show up in the middle of a mission expecting kenobi to be there after sending him like eighty-five holos.
anakin and rex watch off to the side as maul just grumbles in the corner.
somehow skywalker catches wind of what maul is saying and goes “oh yeah, he never shows up when i actually want him to be there”.
maul: god kenobi is so annoying
anakin: i know right!!!
rex: sir, maybe we should-
maul: he always shows up when i don’t want him there, and then never shows up when i specifically ask for him! and HE’S ALWAYS SO POLITE ABOUT IT UGH.
anakin: yeah! everyone at the temple thinks he’s soooo perfect and polite but he’s actually just really annoying! always nagging me like “anakin don’t do that” and “anakin don’t put that in your mouth.” it’s horrible!
maul:
maul: oh worm?
rex: sir what the fuck is happening do i shoot him or not
rex is tired okay
