Could you write us a Rex/Obi, sharing a bed for warmth trope, pretty pretty please?
“…I think I’m
so cold I’ve gone numb.” Obi-Wan whispered into the captain’s
chest, shuddering slightly.
“Yeah you feel
like an icicle. That’s what happens when you get trapped in an
avalanche I guess.” Rex grunted slightly before rubbing the others
back steadily.
“Good thing I’m
trapped against you now in a sleeping bag huh?” Obi-Wan gave a tiny
laugh before shuddering more.
Rex gave an
annoyed noise then shifted them around a bit until Obi-Wan was mostly
trapped beneath his bulk.
Clones ran hotter
then other humanoids, tweaks the Kaminos had done to their genes
along with requiring less sleep and less rest. They had a normal
calorie and water consumption but the rest… well they were well
equipped to handle most climates.
Rex was thankful
for that at the moment as Obi-Wan, for all his Jedi skills, was
defiantly not cold proof, especially after having spent at least an
hour buried in snow.
Rex forced a leg
between the others thighs and tangled them in so tightly they could
defiantly be mistaken for lovers had anyone found them like this.
Which was unlikely Rex knew since they were in the middle of a frozen
wasteland with only their makeshift den as their safety, dug out from
snow with Obi-Wan’s lightsaber.
“I’d usually
tell someone to buy me dinner before getting in this position.”
Obi-Wan murmured.
“I’ll buy you
dinner once back on Coruscant sir.” Rex snorted and then smiled
when the other gave a tired laugh.
“I’d settle
for a warm cup of tea right now honestly.”
“Warmth sounds
good.”
They settled into
a quiet sort of existence as Rex body warmed up Obi-Wan’s to cold
one along with the sleeping bag that rested on a simple rolled out
mat to provide some leverage up from the snow beneath them.
It was one of the
few meager things Rex had managed to salvage after the avalanche.
He was grateful
now though, it was enough to keep them warm, the glow rod were enough
for light and there were a few ration bars even.
‘Still wish I’d
found those emergency flares.’ He thought as he lifted his head
enough to check on Obi-Wan, the green glow rods sending shadows over
his face that made him look sickly in the light. But he also looked
like he had more color in his cheeks.
Rex pressed his
lips to Obi-Wan’s forehead, it was easier then freeing his hands to
check the temperature and if he was honest, tempting to not touch.
“You’re
warmer.” He sighed in relief against the skin, his breath fanning
out over the green tinged skin.
“Mmmn,
good…will you let me sleep now Rex?” He mumbled.
“Yes, sleep.
Sleep is good, I’ll keep watch over you.” Rex shifted them only
minusculely then let Obi-Wan settle.
The den they made
grew quiet again and this time he thought Obi-Wan had fully fallen
asleep when he spoke up again.
“Rex, when we’re
back on Coruscant…ask me again?” He mumbled, voice thick with
drowsiness.
“Ask you what
sir?” The captain murmured back, shifting his head up enough to
watch the other.
“For dinner. To
go to dinner with you. I’d like that.” Obi-Wan eyes were mostly
closed but Rex could feel a sudden kick up in his heartbeat.
“…I’ll do
that si-…Obi-Wan. I’ll do that.” He whispered.
“Mmmn…good.”
