What if Kallus figured the only reason Zeb found him attractive was due to lack of exposure to actually attractive mates. So when they're on Lira San Kallus wakes up every day wondering if today is the day it'll hit Zeb that he actually doesn't find Kallus attractive, he just spent too much time amongst humans. Meanwhile Zeb is scenting every inch of Kallus 'cause Ashla damn him if he's about to let anyone as much as SMELL his mate without knowing he's spoken for, 'cause what if Kallus just liked big strong guys and is now realizing Zeb isn't offering anything special! They're on a planet full of big, strong guys! :C
Like do I think this would happen? Probably not, but I am so entertained by the thought of these two idiots both assuming the other settled
Tbh I think the ships should have been Anakin/Rex and Padme/ALL the Handmaidens and I think that could have fixed them. Padme and her handmaidens could have adopted kids. Rex and Anakin could have adopted a couple thousand shinies. It’s how it SHOULD have been. Obi-Wan is the one who gets pregnant and it’s found out when he throws up on Count Dooku who panics and comes back to the light side wondering who poisoned his grandson. Palpatine is hitting his head on the wall. Cody and Vos are fighting over who knocked him up (it was Bail Organa) and Anakin is oblivious to everything.
