#sorry i’ve been listening to ecliptica recently and i think i made myself insane

Years into the war, Cody gives Obi-Wan a letter.

"I hope you never have to read it," Cody tells him. "If we both see this through, I'll read it to you myself."

Obi-Wan doesn't want to accept it. He wants Cody to read it to him now, to tell him everything he feels he can't say until their duty is done. Wants to tell him they'll both see the other side of this war, even if he has no way to promise such a thing.

Obi-Wan has so much he wants to say to Cody, but doesn't. He understands, now, and he accepts the letter. He keeps it with him always. He hopes he'll never have to read it.

Months later on Utapau, when Cody hands him his lightsaber, Obi-Wan thinks of that damned letter tucked into his robes and hopes that this is the day he finally gets to destroy it, because there's no need for it, because he'll have memorized every word in the sound of Cody's voice.

He's wrong.

—

Years go by on Tatooine. Obi-Wan still has that letter, unopened. He looks at it every day. He cannot bear to read it. He cannot bear to destroy it.

"I hope you never have to read it."

If there's love in that letter, he worries it'll break him completely.

The unknowing of it hurts, of course. But ignorance, in this case, he thinks it might be sweeter.
