Obi-wan and Cody had been sent to assist a senator after they got word that a assassination attempt was suspended to happen in a few days. When they arrived the senator greeted them kindly and thanked them for coming. He led them to a room they could stay in.
"I'm sorry it's not bigger" he said, "it's just the room closest to mine which I thought would be safer."
"No worries, we'll make do." Obi-wan joked.
The senator smiled. "I'll let you settle in."
"Thank you senator." Cody said. Then the man closed the door. He looked at the room. There was a small window, a bathroom attached to the room, and a nightstand. As well as one twin sized bed.
Obi-wan walked over to it. He sat down at the end of the bed. "Have you ever slept on a real bed commander?"
Cody thought about it, "no, I don't think I have."
"Come here."
Cody complicated. He sat down expecting the bed to be hard. The softness of the mattress surprised him.
"You can lay down if you'd like." Obi-wan smiled.
Cody didn't hesitate. He laid right down. He grinned.
"It will be more comfortable without your armor. We can settle in for the night."
"Are you sure?" Cody asked.
"I'm sure." Cody took off his armor and laid back down.
"Comfortable?" Obi-wan asked.
"Very."
Obi-wan took off his shoes and sat on the other side of the bed. "Want the blanket?" he laughed as he got it off the end of the bed and unfolded it.
It was softer than Cody expected. All the blankets the clones get feel like thin towels. He laid back down and Obi-wan watched him as he fiddled with the fabric.
He smiled and laid down next to him. Looking over at Cody he looked so calm. He seemed quite content. It sent butterflies into Obi-wan's stomach. He looked at Cody's hand. It was very close to his own.
Without the time to really think about it, he placed his own on Cody's hand. Cody shifted to his side and looked at Obi-wan. Well sort of. The darkness wouldn't let the secret of Cody's smile be revealed.
As Obi-wan went to remove his hand, not wanting Cody to be uncomfortable he felt Cody's grip tighten. His face felt hot and he moved a little bit closer to the clone.
The two fell asleep not long after. When they awoke they didn't talk about it. They didn't talk about the next night when Cody ended up spooning Obi-wan. They didn't talk about how close their bodies were or how much they wanted to be closer.
The assassination attempt was stopped and their mission was over even though either of them really wanted it to be. All good things come to an end.
Cody had gone to get the ship ready as Obi-wan talked to the senator. "I have a question, and I'm sorry if it's out of line."
"Oh, what is it?" The senator looked confused.
"Would you happen to have a really soft blanket you would be willing to part with? The commander was quite fond of the one we had." Obi-wan asked. He sounded hesitant.
"Of course! That's not a problem." He asked one of his droids to go and get the one from the room the two had occupied.
She brought it back quickly and Obi-wan smiled as he thanked the senator. The senator was more than happy to be able to do something for the two.
Obi-wan was so excited to give the blanket to Cody. He knew it would mean so much to him. As he walked up to the ship he put the blanket behind his back and smiled. This would be fun.
