how do they let each other know they’re leaving the house

Honestly, they leave the house together a lot. They’re pretty inseparable. But, of course, sometimes they have to part ways. 

When Anakin’s leaving the house, he’ll always make absolutely SURE that Obi-Wan can’t come with before he sets out.

Anakin: I'm leaving now... are you sure you don't wanna come with? 

Anakin, 30 minutes later: Okay I’m really leaving now... are you sure—

When Obi-Wan’s leaving the house, again, Anakin tries to drag it out (and Obi-Wan absolutely enables him because he doesn’t like parting either). Wait, Obi-Wan, I’ve gotta show you what’s happening on Twitter. Wait, I forgot, I packed you something for lunch. Wait—! 

And every morning before work, Obi-Wan kisses his husband soundly, cradles his face in his hands, and says I love you. Because Anakin loves to hear it as much as he loves to say it back.

In stray catboy au specifically, it’s even more of an ordeal for Obi-Wan to head to campus and leave Anakin alone at home. The first few times Obi-Wan left the house without him, he made double and triple sure that Anakin was comfy and had everything he needed for the day. It slowly evolves into a little ritual of petting through Anakin’s curls at the door while asking Do you have everything you need? followed by Anakin’s I will when you get back.

how do they greet each other when one of them gets home

Anakin likes to give bone-crushing hugs when he gets home. They were apart for too long, it’s always too long, and now that he’s reunited with Obi-Wan, he’s gonna hold him for at least a minute. Doesn’t matter if Obi-Wan’s in the middle of making dinner, grading papers, or in the shower, Anakin will find him and he will hug him.

It's the same when Obi-Wan comes home, except Anakin likes to scare him. Hide somewhere in the house to sneak up on him with one of those bone-crushing hugs. Obi-Wan’s used to it but he’ll still say Oh dear, you got me just for Anakin’s triumphant little laugh.
