Chapter Text
Cody had been hunched over his datapad at his desk for far too long, eyes endlessly scanning the seemingly infinite list of reports, documents, and maps. The light of his datapad was giving him a headache.
There was a knock at his office’s door.
“Yeah?” he called, not looking up from his datapad. “What do you need?”
“Not much at the moment, Commander,” Obi-Wan Kenobi smiled as the door slid open. “I thought you could use a pick-me-up while we review our plans.”
Cody thought he might’ve snapped his neck with how fast he straightened up.
“Apologies, General,” he said. “I was expecting Lieutenant Waxer before our meeting.”
“That’s quite alright,” the General said dismissively. “I’m early, but I brought you some tea.”
The Jedi offered a warm smile with the warm mug and Cody felt his face warm in response.
“Thank you, sir,” Cody muttered. His heart rate was elevated. That was just from the startle the General gave him, right? It definitely was not because the General was the most beautiful person Cody had ever seen.
“Of course,” the General said, sipping from his own mug, the picture of professionalism. “This is an Alderaanian blend; a gift from Senator Organa.”
Cody nodded as he took a sip. It was somewhat fruity with some kind of spice. It wasn’t bad, but Cody preferred caf anyway. “It’s very good. Thank you, sir.”
General Kenobi smiled and nodded, simply moving on to begin discussing the upcoming campaign.
Cody: It would be crazy to think that it was anything more than a kind gesture, wouldn’t it?
Rex: …
Rex: youre asking me if i think it would be crazy to think that your general gave you a cup of tea because hes in love with you
Cody: Yes.
Rex: and i thought you were the SANE one in your batch
