headcanons for being rey's gf? (star wars)
jokes on you anon I think about this every day I love rey so much
Okay, I’m like 90000% onboard with asexual!Rey, but even if you don’t subscribe to that particular headcanon I think we can all agree that Rey is new to romance and sexuality, so I think a relationship with her would be very slow and sweet and innocent as you explore new territory and grow together.
Also, Rey really hasn’t been touched – and definitely not in an affectionate way – since she was very young, so I think she’s in a weird place where she simultaneously doesn’t like being touched and is starved for physical affection.
Like, she does not want to be touched by strangers. If she does not know you well and trust you a lot, you’d better keep your hands off of her. But once she gets attached to you – and especially after you verbally confirm that you’re into her as well – she’s all about those snuggles.
She loves holding your hand, loves hugging you, loves giving you quick kisses on your nose and forehead and cheeks. If you’re not a touchy person or don’t like PDA she definitely understands (see previous bullet point) and will back off, but she just loves being around you.
You get to take her home and show her your home planet and she thinks it’s the most beautiful place in the galaxy because it gave her you. :’)
Exploring the galaxy together because now that she’s left Jakku she wants to see everything and she wants to share it all with the people she loves.
She doesn’t realize it, but her Force senses become attuned to your presence. She can literally sense you from half a mile away (because lbr, Rey’s raw power is at least as strong as Anakin’s, and he could feel Padme’s presence as easily as breathing) and if you’re in the same room as her she can even pick up on strong emotions from you.
It’s a soothing thing for her, being able to feel that you’re near her. It’s a comfort, and she’ll definitely seek you out if she feels sad or scared or stressed.
She’s a very protective gf, but in an endearing way rather than a worrying way. She’s just very concerned with keeping you safe, and when the two of you are in an unfamiliar place she sticks to your side and glares at anyone who even looks like they might consider hurting you.
Dating Rey means being BFFs (Best Force Friends) with Finn, because he’s practically Rey’s family. And Poe is around so often, the four of you may as well live together.
But also: if you ever break Rey’s heart you’re gonna be in trouble with Finn and Poe AND General Organa and, most importantly, BB-8 will not beep affectionately every time he sees you anymore. :(
But yes Rey is pure and good and would be THE BEST girlfriend I love her so much
