Leia + sensing her family in the Force

16. daybreak (for darkpilot) | more prompts!
“This sucks,” says Ben, peering up through the glowing leaves of the Force tree. Daybreak is a little different on Yavin 4; the gas giant Yavin hangs low above the horizon, red in the sky and far larger in the sky than the sun ever appeared from Chandrila.
“Look on the bright side,” says Poe Dameron, who’s tucked against his side, his curly head resting on Ben’s shoulder.
“There’s a bright side?”
Poe shrugs. “I mean, yeah. You get to be a Jedi. I’m jealous.”
Ben snorts. Poe’s known him for over ten years, at this point, and they’ve been friends for almost as long. He should know better. “You’re jealous,” he grumbles. “You’re the New Republic’s best pilot. I’m jealous.”
Poe grins into Ben’s armpit. Poe has three years on Ben, but he’s always seemed less burdened, somehow, despite losing his mom at an early age. He’s much quicker to smile, or to laugh. Ben lives under his own personal storm clouds, and doesn’t seem to smile these days around anyone except Poe. Poe has a nice smile. It’s difficult not to smile back.
Poe says, “While that may be true—”
“Humble.”
“I said may be, okay, leave me alone. That may be true, but clearly you’re destined for bigger and better things than just being in the fleet. I mean, they barely arm us. We’re mostly here just in case.”
“In case what?” Ben asks, genuinely curious.
“I don’t know. In case.” Poe falls quiet for a moment. Then, he says, “I’m gonna miss you like hell, you know?”
“Yeah,” says Ben. They’d spent all night talking. Ben doesn’t know when he’ll see his friend again, and he had feared he wouldn’t get all the words out that he needed to. He’s still afraid of that. It feels like they’re constantly on the verge of saying something they don’t quite have words for yet.
Maybe it’s not words they need, though. Maybe the way Poe lays against Ben with no hesitation or fear, even when Ben’s own parents hide behind closed doors and discuss him in hushed whispers, maybe that’s enough. Or maybe it’s not, but that doesn’t matter now. They’re out of time.
So Ben just tells him, “I know,” and that will have to do.
i was tagged by @spacedarcy, a literal angel
are you named after anyone? no, although i am actually related to butch cassidy, and my mom saw the name on the spine of a book about him, and they decided to name me that. thanks, guys.
when was the last time you cried? like... saturday, probably? either friday or saturday, anyway
do you have kids? i mean, i’m eighteen, so. i sure hope i don’t. (i don’t.)
do you use sarcasm a lot? uh.... no? (yes. all the fuckin time, my dude.)
what’s the first thing you notice about people? god, i don’t know. their faces, probably? or maybe their eyes?
what’s your eye color? brown. i did have a girl compliment my pretty blue eyes once. they are decidedly not blue.
scary movie or happy endings? i am the biggest fucking wimp about scary movies, like, the bloodbending episode of a:tla was about enough for me, okay? happy endings, please.
any special talents? um. i play the guitar and the piano and i sing fairly well, but i don’t know if that’s special. and i write, obviously, but that’s less of a “talent” and more of a “thing i annoy people on the internet with”. um. i have a freakishly good auditory memory, to the point where i can repeat people’s sentences back to them verbatim. is that a special talent?
where were you born? wyoming, in a hospital about thirty minutes away from the town i came home to and in which i have lived my whole life.
what are your hobbies? oof. uh, aforementioned music stuff, reading (fic) and writing (more fic, and also songs, occasionally), dancing, baking, and of course, annoying people on the internet.
do you have any pets? oh, do i. i technically live on a ranch so we own, uh, a lot of animals, including several horses whomst i could not actually identify and several dogs whomst i could. the dogs’ names are: sam, piper, junior, buzz, luna, and rex. i love them and i have lots of pictures, especially of luna and rex, because luna is a sweet dog and rex is an adorable puppy.
how tall are you? 5′2-ish
what sports do you play/have you played? i mean i played basketball and volleyball in middle school but i hated them. in high school i cheered (and i was pretty damn good, if i do say so myself). (i do.)
favorite subject in school? i mean, english, probably, but i also loved history. listen, basically, i’m good with anything with more of the words and not so much of the numbers, okay? shocker, i’m sure.
dream job? `i want to rule the world.` but also, uh, be a human rights lawyer? but you know. i’m only eighteen, and eighteen-year-olds are stupid and idealistic, so that might change.
i tag @theforcesawaken, @lustjedimaster, @kyloorenz, @kylorenisavirgin, @skywailer, @kyloreyx, @kirynt, and anyone else who wants to do this, i tagged you. it’s official. sorry i don’t make the rules just enforce them

kylorenisavirgin replied to your post “Would you ever write a post-TLJ fic that went in another direction...”
wait you're saying TS ISN'T the script for IX? sure, jj
It’s my pitch for Episode IX as a Starz original series, obviously. The Outlander + Tactical Surrender power block. 😉
kylorenisavirgin replied to your post “i started reading this fic that’s an esports au and it made me want to...”
Are you reading play to win?
yes! i’ve just started it and i’m only on chapter three but i love it already
