First sentence prompt: "I've never done this before."
“It’s just a ‘fresher, Rey,” he says, gentle, mild, careful not to insult her.
“Not a high demand for those on Jakku.” She extends her hand towards the spray, and sighs deeply when the warm water wets her fingers, then adds, as an afterthought, “Just rubbed myself down with a pumice stone and then some nightblossoms, after.”
He burns; he burns for her, he burns for the severe life she has led and cautiously, trying not to seem lascivious, he offers, “I could get in with you.”
“What, you think I can’t handle this on my own?” she snaps, and he’s done it now, he’s insulted her, so wordlessly he shakes his head, trying to give voice to the shape of his need– to make her life better, easier, more–
She thaws; she thaws for him, she thaws for the void he has carried inside himself all his life, and– sighing, shyly– she nods, and takes his hand, and tugs him with her, towards the water.
