It’s two sugars, right? [ao3]

Shifting, Rex carefully extricated himself from the bed. Cody was off-planet on a mission without Obi-Wan, and Obi-Wan had asked Rex to come stay in the Temple while Cody was away. Cody had warned Rex the invitation was coming, and Rex had been happy to accept. From some of the things he’d said since Rex had arrived, Rex was pretty sure Obi-Wan had begun a campaign to get Rex to permanently move in, too.

It was a very tempting idea for Rex, to spend all his nights at home with two of his favourite people. He wasn’t sure quite yet, but he was definitely thinking about it, weighing the possibilities. At the moment, those possibilities included waking beside Obi-Wan each morning, and falling asleep beside him every night. Not bad at all, and nothing he would have dared imagine for himself before the war.

Padding into the ‘fresher, Rex took care of his morning routine. As he finished washing up, Obi-Wan shuffled in after him, bleary-eyed and still half asleep. Rex couldn’t help his fond smile, and he turned, gently pushing Obi-Wan’s mussed hair off his forehead and stealing a kiss. Obi-Wan grumbled wordlessly, not a huge fan of kissing before he’d brushed his teeth. Rex chuckled softly, and kissed Obi-Wan’s temple instead.

“I’ll put on the water,” Rex offered quietly.

“Mmmmm tea,” Obi-Wan said sleepily, and began his own washing up.

“It’s two sugars, right?” Rex asked teasingly, and Obi-Wan scowled at him in the mirror. Rex laughed, and went to put on the kettle. In one mug went a bag of strong black tea - no sugar - and in the other, granules of instant caff and quite a bit of sugar.

When Obi-Wan shuffled into the kitchen, he propped himself against Rex, leaning in to kiss Rex’s cheek and jaw. Rex shifted, pulling Obi-Wan into a proper embrace and bringing their mouths together. Obi-Wan sighed happily into the kiss, and Rex was pretty sure he’d be moving in.
