Rubbing his hands together to warm the oil, Anakin glanced at his soulmate only to let out an amused noise at the nervous look Rex was shooting him, the captain sitting on Anakin’s bunk with half of his blacks stripped down to his waist, armor on the desk in the corner. “Its just oil Rex, nothing else. Its not flammable or acidly in nature, just slippery and safe for skin and for cybernetic.” He teased gently.
Having Obi-Wan back where he belonged, sleeping on the Resolute with Cody was doing a lot for Anakin’s nerves, feeling his fuzzy, sleep saturated Force signature from further down the hall.
Obi-Wan had clearly known that and had opted to travel with the Resolute instead of the Negotiator thankfully, his face now turned back to his own along with his voice.
Utterly hairless.
Apparently the nanotech didn’t work well with hair so Obi-Wan had been shaved everywhere.
Anakin tried not to think too hard about that but he was utterly bemused by the sight of Obi-Wan’s bald head and cheeks.
He looked so young under all that hair, it was just surprising and he wasn’t quite sure what to make of it.
Cody hadn’t either and had spent three minutes staring at Obi-Wan before gingerly rubbing at his face and scalp, Obi-Wan utterly amused as he allowed it as he was being looked over by Kix.
Anakin lowkey suspected Kix of slipping Obi-Wan a relaxant with how fast he was asleep but wasn’t about to call the medic out on it if he had. No, Anakin was going to enjoy having his master back and Rex on his bunk thank you very much.
“Well, I have never had a massage.” Rex huffed slightly, clearly wondering what he had gotten talked into.
Rolling his eyes, Anakin shifted closer and put his hand on gloriously warm skin, not for the first time wishing he had two flesh hands as the mech hand didn’t work so well for sensory stuff.
But at least it had the strength, and more than needed strictly speaking, to work out kinks.
He felt Rex tense under the initial touch only to let out a surprised noise.
“See?” Anakin murmured more softly, working his hands over the warm, dark skin that shone with the addition of the oil. “Its not so bad.” He hummed quietly, smiling as he took in the flowers spread over the others skin.
It always amazed him to see the marks of beauty that responded to the scars on his own body.
Marks of beauty coming from his own hurts.
“Well, ‘xcuse me for not knowing what a massage is, longnecks aren’t exactly known for their clone rights you know.” Rex muttered almost sleepily, arching his shoulders into the touch.
Not for the first time, Anakin want to burn down all of Kamino and seeing as how it was a water planets with rain most of the time, that would be hard.
But not impossible.
He could at least burn down the facilities.
Oh that sounded like a good idea.
He pushed the idea away and instead breathed out through his nose before leaning in and pressing a tender kiss to Rex neck. “Well, good thing you’re here then…” He whispered quietly, his hands slowly ghosting to the front of Rex, fingertips gently teasing along ribs until he could rest his hands on the others stomach.
Pillowing his head on Rex shoulder, Anakin breathed out steadily, ignoring the fragrant oil he was getting on his tunic as Rex rested his own hand over Anakin’s own. Gently, Rex thumb stroked over his knuckles.
“Yeah…here with you.” Rex quietly agreed, rubbing slowly, tracing a small ivy over the back of Anakin’s hand.
Nuzzling into him, Anakin held on tightly as he breathed out deeply.
