Duty vs Desire

Summary:

A short moment between Captain Rex and Commander Cody in the middle of a debrief.

Notes:

I hope you enjoy reading my little moments in time!
I plan to eventually extend this... maybe do this in parts for Codex Week!

Work Text:

Captain Rex was listening to the usual disagreements between his General and General Kenobi, but he was staring at Cody from across the room. His eyes were disguised by his helmet, but Cody's weren't. He caught the little smirk of the Marshal Commander, the way the other man's eyes would flick towards him every other beat of his heart. Distracted by proving each other wrong, neither General noticed when Cody crossed the room, halting just beside him. Their armor clinked softly together, and Rex stiffened as the sound rippled through his chest plate and into his heart - a gentle flutter.

There was a pause. A long pause before Cody said anything. "Let's get out of here."

"What?"

"Let's get out of here," Cody repeats. "There's a caf lounge down the hall."

As quick as he came, he was gone, already walking through the doorway. Rex removes his helmet without thinking and follows the other man with little hesitation, the sharp click of boots in the hall the only thing that fills the silence between them.

He was abandoning the debrief with the Marshal Commander in favor of caf and company. His eyes linger on the curve of the other man's lips, and he wonders who could say no to Cody?
