i think the most compelling thing about cloneshipping to me is the fact that nat-borns in universe would think its weird.
cody constantly adjusting the collar of his blacks to make sure its covering the marks he picked up on leave. fives trying to explain what echo meant to him, but he cant tell the truth, not to his jedi. jesse having to come up with an obvious lie when ahsoka asks why he hangs around the medbay so much. boil watching over an injured waxer and trying to play it off until general kenobi gives him a knowing look and his stomach drops.
a vod fresh from kamino being chastised for saying "riduur". vode at 79s who get drunk enough to forget there's nat-borns there and have to be reminded they can't kiss in public. vode that stop touching when they step outside. vode sneaking back to their own bunks before sunrise. vode who's assignments separate them from their partners, who have to scan the list of KIAs, who can't mourn openly when they see their partner's number. vode covering for each other. vode lying for each other. vode pulling away when their jedi walks into view - but never fast enough.
