      @aequusjedi​: "You need me, even if you think you don't."

     “What I need is peace and quiet for five minutes,” he growled. It took a moment before he realized who he was talking to. Ben turned his head to find her standing in the middle of the room. He felt like a cornered animal every time the Force bond connected at random. This time was no better. 

It’d been a battle on one of the mid rim worlds, an assassin had gotten far too close to him - his own mistake - and nearly taken him out. The wound on his arm was the only gift he’d brought back from it. So much for parts, he supposed. The medkit didn’t have the right antidote for the poison and he could only hope that there wasn’t enough in his bloodstream to cause an issue. 

But he managed to clean the wound and was currently sewing his arm back together. When he found that he could no longer concentrate on mending his own flesh, he sighed and turned a tired gaze her way. “Tell me, what gives you that impression? ...Other than the obvious knife wound, please.”

@aequusjedi​ asked:  “Think I can’t handle it?”

“It’s not that I don’t think you CAN. Just that you probably SHOULDN’T. Surely sending a force user into a disused Jedi temple could end up with some force backlash? Don’t want you getting hurt.”

@aequusjedi​ said: “ is this a joke to you — ?!”

"Of course it's NOT a joke to me, baby." He steps closer to her, tanned hand reaching out for her waist. "It's you and me, yeah? Us together against everything holding the resistance back." He backs her against the wall slowly, taking it step by step. "I've never been more serious about anything before."

@aequusjedi​ gets a starter for sparring and smoochies with Ben Solo // post tlj

Ben had to watch himself when he sparred with Rey -- if he was too aggressive, her friends thought he was actually attacking her and would rush into the training room with blasters raised -- so they'd taking to sparring at night, when there was little chance of the other members of the Resistance barging in. Though she had barely received any training under Master Skywalker, her natural talent was impressive, and she had bested him plenty of times with that quarterstaff of hers.

"Ow," he grumbled, once again landing flat on his back with the scavenger girl seated astride his chest, the end of her staff an inch from his throat. "You've won again. Sand rat," he muttered under his breath, smirking up at her and panting heavily. He wasn't quite sure what impulse drove him to reach up with one hand, entangle his fingers in her hair, and pull her face down to press his mouth against hers, but once her lips brushed his, a spark pulsed between them, amplified by their strange but powerful Force bond. "Rey..."

@aequusjedi​ sent   :   ❝ You're beautiful. ❞ Tempted by happiness and a swell of necessity - for she feared if she didn't do it then, she would never do it, Rey leaned forward and grazed her lips over Kadri's, eyes closing as she lingered there for a long moment.

“i... thank you, r--”  the compliment came out of nowhere, certainly, but the kiss is on a different level of unexpected. kadri relaxes into it. as rey’s eyes shut, the princess’ eyes do also, and all she can sense is the warmth radiating from rey’s body as close as she is, and all she can feel is the brush of her lips. her hand rises to cradle against her cheek softly, wanting to keep her close. it’s so soft, probably the gentlest touch she’s felt in months of wartime. but it’s almost not enough. cautiously, she angles her head to kiss her a little firmer; not wanting to scare her away, but wanting to let her know that this... this is wanted.

Contentment is a strange and unfamiliar beast to Ben Solo, he’d spent the majority of his life fighting, if not physically then trying to fight against the invasive presences in his mind but there’s none of that anymore. Just peace – and Rey. The peace alone would be overwhelming if not for the scavenger who was currently sprawled across the sofa with her head in his lap, the silence would be far too much but her presence soothed that. It felt far less daunting knowing he wouldn’t have to face that newfound silence in his mind all by himself.

His fingers gently toyed with her hair as she dozed, an adoring smile spread across his face - were he not worried about waking her he’d have leaned down to press a gentle kiss to her head but she deserved her rest as much as he did. If not more. That could wait until she was stirring.

For now he could just enjoy the tranquility of the moment. One of many moments like this, he hoped.

         “ i find that incredibly insulting, ” he folds his arms over his chest, a mock pout on his lips. this is the second time he’d come to visit rey ---- this time, in a more relaxed form... his better years. “ we’re all with you now, rey. you’re just going to have to get used to having ghosts show up at any point of time.... forever. ” okay, he might be exaggerating a bit, but... she doesn’t need to know that.
