Oh, This Fragile And Fleeting Youth
“CC-1010, you lost.”
Because Cody has killed him.
“Oh, come on! Sir. I mean, oh, come on, Sir.”
Cody has killed his brother.
“CC-1010, the stats read you drowned in your own blood.”
Because Cody killed him.
“Only a little bit!”
He grips the vibroblade tighter before it can drip out of his hand like the blood off the blade.
“Co— CC-2224, tell Trainer Vau that stabbed lungs don’t count!”
“Fox…” The name slips out of his mouth before he can catch it and drag it back into the safety of his heart.
His brother’s eyes widen like in surprise, like in death Cody brought down on him. “24…”
“CC-1010, I will write you up for insubordination if you—“
The blood spatter on Fox’s chest comes closer. He killed his brother. Distantly he can feel the Curse rising under his skin, prickling it from the inside. He had aimed at the neck. He had seen the swing of the blade across and through it. He had aimed at the neck. He had aimed at the neck. The blood grows closer, swallowing him. He doesn’t know why he had aimed at the neck. There’s no excuse why he—
“Hey, no harm done.”
Because Fox had slammed the butt of his blaster down on Cody’s hand, redirecting the strike to his torso.
“I’m still better than you.”
Reading bloody lips and Fox’s newly discovered cocky smirk. The skull is staring at him.
“CC-1010, do not take another step forward!”
Fox had choked on his own blood before going still. Looking up at Cody sightless and dead.
“Cody, pull yourself together. Now.”
“CC-1010,” the automated voice announces, “the training time limit with— CC-2224— has expired—“
“Thank fuck,” Trainer Vau groans.
“— please leave the training area immediately and proceed to the med halls for check-up. CC-2224, please prepare for the scheduled training unit with— CC-1119— starting in— ten— minutes.”
Cody has killed his brother.

self aware guy (the character) is the funniest thing in my head
i remember seeing a post about it on here but it's just so silly.
this dude knows several references that might not even be canon in the redactedverse, but says them anyway because it's amusing- and, the funniest part of that is, honey can just go along with it because 'oh he's just my silly boyfriend, what else?'
he could also be getting away with so much more chaotic shit and yet he just doesn't, instead taking the chance to be in a relationship with the grumpiest, most firm person he's met and fucking GETTING AWAY WITH IT
making guy arguably the most powerful character? unlikely, but plausible. stay on your toes, people!

Sometimes I decide to adopt a male actor/singer because my brains tells me "well, that guy seems nice" and somehow ALWAYS ends up with "omg he's such a babygirl I love him so fucking much I'd die for him"
