rex is not the only one who torments anakin by claiming to be dating/sleeping with obi-wan and will be anakin's future step parent/sibling and obi-wan's trophy spouse because it is the easiest way to throw anakin off his game and distract him while the vod'e get into shenanigans that anakin would have either wrecked by virtue of needing to be the center of attention or wrecked by unintentionally/intentionally snitching to palpatine, or simply because trolling anakin in such a fashion amuses a considerable number of the GAR, if obi-wan learns that one of the vod'e is dating him for troll purposes, obi-wan will indeed take them out on at least one nice outing that probably gets crashed by a sith apprentice or ghost or some terrible eldritch monster but at least when the vod'e tells anakin that they're dating general kenobi, it'll ping as the truth in the Force, and Obi-wan gives them a nice outing gift, generally really good alcohol or caff or some cake, sometimes flowers, depends on the vod'e and what obi-wan gets prompted by the Force to bring
until they get their actual date, any member of the 212th or 501st will just pretend that the last mission they went on under general kenobi's command was a date in order to keep anakin from potentially pinging their claim as a lie
thanks to this, fives or some other vod'e, when needing to get the truth of the chips to someone who will ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING uses dating general kenobi to distract anakin and tells obi-wan about the chips during the date and obi-wan moves with considerable efficiency from there
(cody seething every time and torn whether or not he'll throw his bucket into the ring, so far no one has gotten a second or third date but maybe...)
(obi-wan will not go on a real date with someone who is under his command, this is solely for teasing his padawan, after the war though...)
I love the implication that in the 501'st yelling "IVE GOT A DATE WITH GENERAL KENOBI" is like yelling "TIME OUT" like you get a brief window where you are untouchable until the date, Anakin cant throw you off something, Ahsoka can't pull some skywalker type prank on you, you miraculously get to walk out of something just so you can take that roll of the dice and shoot your shot with Obi-wan.
However this doesn't make you entirely safe during or after the date. In fact after the date is the most dangerous risk.
SO
Fives,, poor Fives running for his life trying to get anyone to listen to him, gets cornered and just yells that NUH UH FOX you cant shoot me! I have a date with Obi-wan! and fuck whats Fox to do? like letting his brother go on a date before execution is the least he can give a dead clone running.
SO now Fives just has to survive the greatest battle a man can have. Looking another man in the eyes and being vulnrable and honest while explaining bio-chips in their heads are awaiting commands to activate and make an entire clone army turn on the Jedi so the chancellor can be granted emergency powers and end the republic as they know it. While also being far to aware of Obi-wan holding his hand and making far to much eye contact Fives was not prepared for. While Fox looms over him waiting to shoot him and Cody looms over them all waiting to take Obi-wan away from this shitshow.
However as shit hits the fan Fives is ready to the pendulum swing Obi-wan declares the date isn't over! And thus Fives becomes his dance partner through the fire for the evening shoot out. And then! He may even request a second date! just so he knows Fives will be sticking around! And Fives can not believe this halo that has been granted to him. and Fox and Cody are mad as hell. Fives gets to go play around with the 212th or the Jedi Council.
