ok but i’m just. full of thoughts abt boba with someone soft & warm. how well he’d treat them, and if he ever accidentally scared them or made them flinch, how he’d just drop everything to comfort them..soft boba is just balm for my aching soul honestly i can’t get enough of him
Tonight is just fucking full of softness, huh? I'm not complaining. This is my happy place. And this prompt?? Hmhmhmhmmmmmm YES!
This turned out more bittersweet than I wanted but oh well, who am I to deny my muse, right?
Warnings: vague allusions to trauma/abuse in the past, super soft boba because we deserve that

"Of course. Thank you for your business, the waiting room is right over there-" Boba raises his hand to point over to the door and show your visitor where the waiting area is located, and you can't help it- you flinch.
Boba has never hit you, he has never hurt you - whether accidentally or on purpose. And you know he would never, you know it deep in your heart and soul, but muscle memory is a strong thing. Stronger, apparently, than the knowledge he did not mean anything by it.
Your wince makes Boba pause mid-sentence, his hand still hanging in the air.
"Excuse us," he says and your guest nods, hurrying out of the throne room. Once the doors close behind him and you are alone, Boba gently, very slowly and carefully pulls in his arms and lifts up his helmet. His eyes are wide and full of concern, lips pursed as he regards you.
"Are you alright, cyar'ika?"
You nod quietly, your lip trembling.
"I'm sorry, Boba, I didn't mean to- I know you didn't-"
"Do not apologise to me, little one," he says, the sound of his voice already comforting you while your body is still tense and on edge. "It is I who should apologise to you. I should have been more careful, I know what you went through. I was not thinking, and for that, I am sorry."
"It's fine, really," you mumble, but then the tears just spill over, quietly running down your cheeks while Boba stares at you helplessly.
"Can I touch you?" he finally asks, so tender and insecure that your heart aches. You press your lips together and place your hand on his, gently guiding him to your face. A rough thumb strokes your cheek, wiping away the tears that just keep on falling.
He stays perfectly still otherwise, the comforting warmth of his hand cradling your face is enough for now- you don't think you could bear more.
"I'm going to call in Fennec," he finally says softly. "Tell her to cancel my appointments for today."
You gasp for air, chest still shaking with sobs you can not seem to keep inside you.
"No, please, you don't need to-"
"I do." Boba's expression is stern. "You are my priority, princess. Always."
You melt, your body still shaking with stress and adrenaline, but you slowly let yourself relax into his strong body.
"Can I hold you?" The question is so soft that you almost miss the words.
"Yes," you mumble. "Please."
Thick arms wrap around you, pulling you into Boba's chest until you bury his face in his armour, surrounded by him and the calm comfort he exudes.
"I'm gonna move my hand to my vambrace to call Fennec, is that okay?"
"Hmhm," you agree, closing your eyes to focus on steadying your breathing until you don't feel so faint anymore. You vaguely register Boba speaking a few sentences, then Fennec's short confirmation. When you open your eyes again, Boba is looking down at you, tender affection written on his scarred face.
"Will you let me carry you up? Draw you a bath, pull you into my lap and just hold you for a while? Let me take care of you, little one."
Tears swim in your eyes again, but this time it's for a different reason.
"I love you," you whisper and when Boba wraps you in his arms and whispers the words back to you, the world is almost alright again.

John Boyega called out Disney and the fans' racist treatment of him and Disney dropped news about the Mandalorian. Disney is revealed to be funding conservative politicians who support the Don't Say Gay Bill, and they release the Kenobi trailer.
i like that in the mandalorian the only two reactions to grogu are either “Ah this must be your darling little boy” and “what the fuck is wrong with your dog.”
@orientalld makes the best art on commission and I love them so much. Look! Tiny Grogu in Din’s arm! I love how true to the scene she made this for Fresh and young
