Glimmer, I can never get enough of Anakin being (correctly) obsessed with Obi-Wan's looks, and Obi-Wan being surprised by it (s/o to the sunscreen fic). But would you consider a snippet about Obi-Wan being attracted to Anakin's physical appearance and Anakin being caught off guard by it?
Ooooooh! Aha, you mentioned the sunscreen fic and it threw me back into summertime vibes, so....

Anakin never got past his hatred of sand, but he grew to appreciate swimming. especially when they were granted leave to use the - frankly ridiculous - pools of Grand Vizier Makal on Ertus Prime. The temperatures on Ertus Prime seemed designed to bake them all, but the pools were nice and cool.
Anakin ended up making a beeline for them anytime they weren’t needed for diplomatic talks, making steady laps back and forth across the surface or just floating, occasionally engaging in a major splash war with Ahsoka, whose more predatory instincts seemed to come to the surface when around the water.
Obi-Wan had not joined them - something about all his responsibilities - so Anakin did a double-take when he finished a lap and found Obi-Wan a few steps back from the edge of the pool. Obi-Wan was still wearing his robes, one eyebrow raised as he gazed down and said, “Are you planning to attend the gala, or shall I make your excuses for you?”
Anakin swore faintly. He’d almost forgotten that they were supposed to go and make nice for a few hours. “No,” he said, ducking under the water briefly to shove his hair back. “I’m coming.”
He put both hands on the edge, and pushed out of the pool, muscles pleasantly aching from swimming, as Obi-Wan said, “Good, I’ve been discussing--”
Obi-Wan cut off with a strange little sound. Anakin looked over as he stood, and found Obi-Wan staring, eyes gone wide. Anakin frowned at him and looked over his shoulder, wondering who the kriff had gotten Obi-Wan’s attention and made him look like that while flashing hot want into the Force, there and gone. Anakin was going to make sure they--
Anakin felt a jolt down his spine when he realized that no one was behind him. He turned back, mind gone suddenly to white noise, and found Obi-Wan clearing his throat, turning aside as he said, “We should hurry. You’ll need to get dressed.”
And the tips of his ears were stained red when he said it, Anakin noted, even as his pulse picked up in his chest.
