(for the lovely @apparentheir!)
Rey looks over at him, because she should’ve seen that answer coming. She sucks in a deep breath, her nerves getting the better of her as she runs a nervous hand through her hair. “Right, well. Your mother is coming to visit and you two seem -- pretty close, and all that, so I figured she was coming to visit you the year after you’ve graduated college and you’d mention to her that -- I don’t know,” she stops herself mid rant, unsure of what she’s even trying to say now. She makes her way over to him, pressing a kiss to his dark hair and looking at him. “Forget I said anything, alright? You don’t have to tell her anything,” Rey promises him now, putting a few of her ‘infamous’ chocolate chip pancakes in front of him before murmuring a quiet, “I’m sorry I brought it up,” into his hair before making her way back over toward where another pancake was cooking in the frying pan.
