Summary: You're a mechanic on base who's been assigned to fix Luke Skywalker's X-wing, the man you've always wanted to be friends with.
(gif not mine!)
**PLEASE READ TRIGGER WARNINGS**
You were a mechanic at the base, one of the best mechanics that the Resistance had. From the moment Luke Skywalker had landed to stay at your base from now on, with Leia Organa and Han Solo following him, you immediately wanted to meet him. Yet, you knew you never would.
He was a Jedi fighting to save the entire galaxy, and you were a mechanic who didn't even have the desire to ascend in rank despite knowing you'd be able to. You'd spent your entire life being reminded that you weren't good enough amongst many other horrible things. You knew Luke would probably never even consider spending a second being your friend.
"Mechie, stop staring at Skywalker," Another mechanic, Nick, scolded you, "He's out of your league anyway. Stop dreaming."
Ducking your head down in an attempt to hide your red cheeks, you resumed the work you were doing on a droid. You sighed as you worked. Sure, the bullying had gotten better over the years. As you grew older and more and more people became consumed with winning the battle against the Republic, they stopped messing with you so much, but their words stayed.
Once finishing the droid, you quickly moved onto the X-Wing you'd been assigned to repair. You worked quickly, not understanding why you'd heard so many mechanics fuss about the complications as they left for lunch. It wasn't a hard fix, and it was easy enough that you spent some extra time polishing up the paint.
"Hey! Is she all fixed?"
You leaped at the voice, not expecting anyone to come in as normally all mechanics were at lunch right now. Stumbling off of the ladder, you felt like a complete idiot at the sight of Luke Skywalker in your garage. You expected some snarky comment about your stumbling, or possibly even how anxious you looked, but instead, Luke walked even closer to you with a bright smile on his face.
"Sorry, didn't mean to startle you," Was Luke actually apologizing to you? "Anyways, I was just stopping by because I got a holo notification saying the work was done."
"Y-yea," You stuttered, mentally kicking yourself, "Was just... uh... polishing some scratches."
"Thanks! I'm really sorry, but, uh," Luke paused, looking you up and down as you prepared yourself for heartbreak, "I never got your name."
"Huh!? Oh! Uh! It's (y/n)."
"Wow, that's a beautiful name," Luke offered you a bright smile, "Listen, I'm running kind of late to meet up with Leia and Han, but I'd love to catch dinner with you."
"Y-you... you want to get dinner... with me?"
Luke nodded, watching your shocked expression with a silly little smirk that only made your heartbeat even faster than it already was. Your mind was screaming with hundred of thoughts, and all you could manage was a nod and smile to confirm with Luke that you would join him for dinner.
"Great! I'll meet you here, around seven," Luke smiled once more, turning to leave, "See you later, (Y/n)."
"Yea," You breathed out quietly, still in shock of everything that had just happened.
How the hell were you going to explain Luke meeting you for dinner to your coworkers? You would explain by not explaining. That seemed like the best option to you as you allowed yourself a small happy giggle before resuming work. You were having dinner with the Luke Skywalker, and it would be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
