The scene that Cody thought he'd find after coming back from his shift on watch was not what met him.

The General was curled up tucked into Waxer side. Cody felt his something in his chest clench, twisting uncomfortably as he moved towards them and sat down on the General's other side. "It's your shift now, Waxer," Cody whispered, waking the man.

Waxer nodded, working alongside Cody to peel Obi-Wan off him. He bit his lip to stop the smile that threatened to spread as the General moved to cling onto the Clone Marshall Commander.

Cody watched Waxer leave, one arm coming to circle the sleeping Jedi unconsciously.

And if any of them found him fast asleep, face in the General's hair as the man slept in his lap, they didn't say anything.

-----

"Come on, sir," Cody stated as he staggered through the hallways, the almost asleep Jedi he was supporting was not acting as much more than dead weight. "It's not much further," he prompted as he tried to jolt him more into the world of the awake, only for the man to slip further from it.

To try and get the man into his room, he ended up dragging the man with an arm beneath each armpit. It wasn't the most dignified, but it worked. Expect for when the General grabbed him the moment the Jedi hit the bed.

So now here he was, pinned beneath the sleeping Obi-Wan. As much as he wanted him to sleep, he still needs to get work done. But, shaking him, even talking to him at a loud voice was doing nothing to wake him.

'I guess a few hours wouldn't hurt,' he thought as he fell asleep, hands clutched onto Obi-Wan's robes.

Yet again, it anyone saw him leave Obi-Wan's quarter's half-asleep muttering about missing work, then no one mentioned it.

-----

It was made a game, who could get the General to curl up on them or curled into them. They became relatively efficient at it, whenever the General would be feeling touchy while tired, they would sit near to him, and he'd subconsciously lean into them until he was a curled up Tooka fast asleep.

The most fun part, and the most difficult, was making sure that Cody didn't see it.

That was a challenge. If the General got touchy and clingy, then Cody got possessive and clingy. And if you were found when he was in this mood, then you're going to find yourself scrubbing floors for a wake. If he's asleep, it worse, it's not flooring, but instead toilets.

"Where is Obi-Wan?" Anakin asked.

Waxer looked over to the side, before shouting, "Ski! Where is the Commander?"

Quickly checking, Ski replied, "in his quarters. Probably doing paperwork."

"You'll find the General there, sir," Waxer stated, "or the Commander will be able to point you in the correct direction."

"Come on, Rex," Anakin nodded.

Rex nodded, following Anakin out. He clutched the paper Waxer slipped him on the way out, waiting until when he'd left the room to check it.

Tell me if I won.

-----

During the shocking silence the room had fallen in, Rex managed to snap a picture before sending it to Waxer with the caption 'you won'.

Anakin had his jaw through the durasteel - all seven layers - and was currently deep in the next space system.

Cody was sat down doing some work on a datapad, one hand running slowly through Obi-Wan's hair. Obi-Wan was sat on Cody's lap, head tucked into the clone's neck as he slept.

Anakin was doing a remarkable impersonation of a fish.

"The General was struggling to get to sleep, but we found out about what the Young did when he was a Padawan," Cody stated, "they'd run hands through his hair to help him sleep through the explosions and fights of the war, and he would do it in return when they asked."

"The reason he's sleeping on you?"

"He need to sleep, and I needed to get work done," Cody stated, only just looking up from his work, "I'm behind as it is."

"Is your armour not comfortable?" Anakin asked, "he'd sleep better if he were comfortable."

"Its the opposite, sir. He relaxes more if I have my armour on, the boys found great amusement when we found that out," Cody stated, "it's not normal for me to be fully armed sitting at a desk doing paperwork."

"Why are you fully armed?"

"Technical, I am not," Cody mused, "the General has one hand around my blaster, his lightsaber ready in the other. You come in here, and he'll have the blaster and blade to your head before you can blink - also tested. Its another thing from his time as a Padawan."

"Are you done talking like I am not here?" Obi-Wan yawned.

Cody hummed, looking pointedly at Rex and Anakin before speaking to Obi-Wan, "you can go back to sleep, sir, it's just wrapping up. I'll inform you when you next wake."

"Fine," Obi-Wan yawned, falling back under the spell of sleep as Cody resumed stroking the top of his head.

So it was no surprise that afterwards, that after Cody finally snapped at Rex for taking that picture, that he felt dread fill him at the osik-eating grin that crossed Rex's face.

"Sorry, I forgot that Obi-Wan Kenobi secretly is a tooka that loves to curl up in peoples laps," Rex stated, holding his hand up to stop anything that was about to be shouted his way, "and that Cody is a possessive besom that never lets anyone near his tooka."

Obi-Wan counted that use of the Force to throw a pen at Rex completely justified.
