"she fell in love with the stars, the moon and the boy with the chocolate brown eyes"
wherever you look in the truck there are traces of her; there are polaroids of her poking out from behind every corner, her favourite cds take pride of place in the glove compartment and the smell of lavender hangs in the air from the air freshener she brought for him.
she laughs as the wind blows through her hair. the salty air leaving traces of the sea on their skin. the two lovers drive aimlessly around the countryside, looking for a place to settle for the evening—picnic bag packed neatly in the backseat, along with his favourite jumper and a variety of blankets for them to lounge upon.
the truck bed is her favourite place to watch the stars from, cuddled up in his arms and her face nestled safely in his neck, and he knew nothing else would make her as happy as a stargazing date for their anniversary. he had every part of this day planned, down to the minute.
even the small daisy he placed behind her ear this morning was part of his plan. and it still rests there, occasionally dancing across her cheek, a lovesick smile crossing his face whenever she giggles at the tickling sensation.
yeah... im thinking about bodyguard din again. im thinking about teasing him while he's on duty and making him all riled up and being thrilled knowing he can't do anything about it. pushing it further and further, throughout every meeting, meal and walk. the energy radiating off of him is palpable and the minute he takes me to my bedroom—he has to make sure it's safe, after all, he is my bodyguard—his hands are wasting no time and they are on me within seconds. pushing me down onto my lushious bedsheets and pinning me underneath him, one of his knees pressing almost impossibly close to the spot that aches for him in-between my legs. and the grin on my face is enough to make him want to completely ruin me.... yeah
"I just wish we could run away, Din, get on your ship and leave this place forever and never return." // "We can do that, and we will, soon. I promise, darling."
"My parents will kill you if they find you here!" // "You left your key in my pocket, sweetheart, I'm just here to return it."
im somehow in an angsty mood and im thinking about those first few months when din and i were still getting to know eachother, not quite friends but not quite lovers either.
all those times he would stop by for an evening and then leave without properly saying goodbye. the hot and cold. how desperate i was to get to know him better vs the trouble i had with reading how he felt. not knowing whether he would appreciate me placing my hand on his helmet, wanting to reach for his hand but not knowing if that was something he'd welcome.
the nights i spent alone, wanting to know he was okay, and safe, wishing i could ask where we was going—struggling to get the words out before he disappeared around the corner becoming an all too familiar occurrence.
somehow missing my old shitty job at the bar, at least the buzz from the old lights and the rowdiness from the patrons kept me company during those lonely nights before i met din. but now i have no one, even though i might have someone.
writing letters that I'll never send. journalling and ranting and ending up with many tear stained pages. ending all my evenings by staring out of my window, watching the stars shining and feeling the ache in my soul dissipate ever so slightly at the thought of him being out there somewhere, looking at whatever stars he found himself under, possibly thinking of me too...
em my beloved !!! do you and din have any special fun plans for the summer 🫶
rylie!!! thank you so much for putting the image of din + summer into my head because as a summer girl™ i am going completely heart eyed at the idea of spending summer with him <3
he always always takes me to the beach, he's not particularly fond of busy beaches (for obvious reasons) but the galaxy is so wide and unique that we always find a deserted place for the two of us where he's able to relax. and once we're settled and definitely on our own he loves to swim with me and we always end up building something in the sand (my favourite is when we make a mini boat/ship and we sit in it as the tide comes in).
we also love to go to markets in the summer time!! you can always find such delicious seasonal fruits!! oh and walking hand in hand with a big strong man who's covered head to toe in armour whilst I'm looking at cute dresses + yummy berries makes me feel so... well let's just say. protected (and tiny)
i think this summer particularly he wants us to go somewhere special for our anniversary:( we met during the summer time so it's always had a special meaning to us and it'll be nice to go somewhere to celebrate!!
i love din so much but we are both so extremely the listener™ kind of person that it's so often so silent on the ship and it makes me laugh bec he's even quieter than i am and that makes me the yapper of the relationship and that is insane
sweetest em !! i hope life and the world and everything in it has been treating u well tehe <33
i am appearing like a little stray cat at your doorstep to ask about a mr mandalorian... please tell the great story of how u and din met + any cute hcs u would like to share ⸜(｡ ˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ i wanna know more abt u guys !!
ahhh ada!!! 🫶 thank you much much for the well wishes tehehe i appreciate them very much <3 sending you hugs rn
i am petting your stray cat form and granting your wishes because i very much want to gushhhh about my most beloved husband<3 and i thank you for this opportunity (it's a long one folks so buckle up<3)
okay so, i was working in a small cantina on the outskirts of the town i lived in (i have no specific place names atm bec i have not delved that far into my specific lore yet tehe). it was not the roughest pub in the neighborhood but it was rough enough that when din came in looking to collect a bounty quite a few people looked uncomfortable (almost like they thought it couldve been a bounty for them). the guy din was looking for was sat right up at the counter closest to me and as soon as din got close and disclosed his business and said that he was going to bring the guy in I could tell there was going to be fight. somehow i end up twigging it exactly at the right time and i jumped down onto the floor just a blaster fired toward the shelves behind me. it was a rather intense 10 minutes and then suddenly the two men were gone. which i felt weirdly sad about for some reason... but before i could really figure out why i felt like that my boss was yelling at me to clean up the broken glass, as if it was my fault.... and i said to myself right then that there was just no way i could work there anymore. so i quit haha. and that was how we, well..maybe not "met" as we didnt really say a word to eachother but that was the first time we ever saw eachother.
our entire relationship is very very slow burn though. it was almost 8 weeks after the bar incident until i saw him again and then a further couple of months until we had a steady friendship and even at that point i still hadnt seen the razor crest, let alone live on it...
i can definitely give you some cute hcs tehehe, lets bullet point them real quick
1) he brings me something every single time he comes back from a bounty collection or a trip somewhere (gifts ranging from a rock he thought I'd like to a plant I'd been asking about to a bracelet or necklace to a bunch of flowers)
2) he was the one to confess to me first. I was always scared that I'd misread his feelings or that i was only seeing what i wanted to see, and it wouldve taken me a long long time to finally get the courage to tell him how i felt (although it still took a long long time because HE was also worried about misreading me and making me uncomfortable ahdjdkdk)
3) we sit together every morning that we're together and have breakfast (although breakfast is a bit generous as he usually doesn't eat and im much too tired for food so i just grab a hot drink and sit close to him)
4) we had a lot of very serious conversations fairly early on in our relationship (before he'd even fully taken his helmet off in front of me) because we both wanted to be as clear as we could with our intentions and avoid any miscommunications that might have lead to regret (i especially wanted to make sure he never felt any pressure from me in regards to seeing his face, i wanted him to know that i was happy to wait as long as i needed to)
5) his favourite petname for me (besides beloved of course) is moonlight 🥺 he called me his moonlight one evening when we were laying together and i swear i almost died! it was so cute:(
this was TOO fun 🥺 thank you for letting me talk about my wonderful husband <3
coworkers to lovers / the oh. oh no. moment of realisation / hurt comfort / forced proximity / possessive protectiveness / travelling together / brushing hands / "shut up" "make me" / accidentally falling asleep and waking up intertwined / late night talks
figure 1: I made din an insta account + he only uses it to like my photos (he also doesn't know that you can change the username, but since I was the one that chose it for him, even if I tease him about it, he'd never change it)
