To understand Obi-Wan, you have to understand that his reputation of being demure or a bitch are not mutually exclusive. In fact, I would say you can't have Obi-Wan without at least a little of both.
Obi-Wan is someone who always has a remark on the tip of his tongue. It's just his instinctual first reaction. Always some quip or bite of sarcasm. But the thing is, he knows when to rein it in. He knows when his choice words are appropriate and when they're not. And if he feels particularly compelled to be bitchy when he can't, he'll phrase things in a way that will be scathing without the target ever realizing what hit them.
He's known as the negotiator. He knows his way around words. Now, it's my understanding that we so rarely see him utilizing this particular skill set in canon because that's not what the story was ever about. It's demonstrated in other ways. How he's regal and more reserved amongst figures of respect to downright maliciously petty while facing foes like the Sith.
Take Anakin's perception of Obi-Wan. He sees Obi-Wan as a perfect, stuck-up, unflappable Jedi. This competes with the fact that Obi-Wan is particularly catty and playful with Anakin and routinely chides him for behaviors... yet does many of the same himself. He's far from perfect but obviously wants Anakin to know what's best and do better than him.
Anakin has this perception of Obi-Wan (not only because it seems he's never good enough for him) because it's how he perceives Obi-Wan's station in the world based on how Obi-Wan is treated by others.
To really get into Obi-Wan, one must talk about how his self worth issues constantly war his ego. Constantly building himself up only to tear himself down again. Going around saying Sith Lords are his specialty (having never actually defeated one lmao) yet finding himself shocked and deeply honored when Mace calls him the master of soresu.
His moments of grandeur are sharply transposed by his feelings of insignificancy and inadequacy.
He's a complex, multifaceted, hypocritical human being like any. He's elegant and bitchy and yes, at times a sopping wet cat.
He's all these things because he's Obi-Wan

16: Can they stay up all night just talking?
They can. Obi-Wan tends to get chattier the sleepier he becomes. Cody starts saying the first things that pop into his head instead of thinking over his words carefully. And they both get sloppier with their affection. Sickening heart eyes. Toes of their boots touching under a table.
23: Who’s more likely to convince the other to stay in bed come morning?
Obi-Wan. He is willing to get up early for Special Occasions. But. Most of the time when he is cozy in bed with his personal space heater/snuggly bear... he doesn't want to leave that bed until it's necessary. He is rather busy so he will take all the cuddling time he can get. He does have a morning routine but... no one ever said it can't be done in the afternoon. It's more of a "let this meditation and cup of tea give me the peace and guidance to help me make it through the day" routine before he has to attend to his duties.
60: Who pulls the other closer when they’re sleeping?
Obi-Wan is perpetually cold. And he's an octopus in his sleep. He will find a way to wrap himself so solidly around Cody that he'll have to be whacked awake so Cody can escape to use the toilet.
