KALLUZEB/BRIDGERTON MASH-UP
(POV: Kallus pleads his case to Mon Mothma to marry Zeb BEFORE the end of the war.)
It was not, Madam Mothma.
Captain Orrelios flatters me, but it was not love at first sight for either of us.
There was attraction, certainly, at least on my part.
But Captain Orrelios thought me underhand, arrogant, diabolical.
All fair, really.
And I thought him a monstrous, murderous terrorist out to destroy peace.
Not to mention that I am the enemy of his very species, and so romance was entirely out of the question for both of us.
But in so removing it, we found something far greater;
We found friendship.
You see, Captain Orrelios and I have been fooling all of the rebellion for some time.
We have fooled them into thinking we are reluctant allies… when really, all along…we simply enjoyed each other’s company so much we could not stay away from one another.
I have never been a man that much enjoyed flirting, or chatting, or, indeed, talking at all.
But with Zeb…
Captain Orrelios…
conversation has always been easy.
His laughter brings me joy.
To meet a kind soul is one thing, but to meet your best friend in the most kindest of souls is something entirely apart.
And it is with my sincerest apologies, I must say it took almost losing him on Lothal for me to realize I did not want Captain Orrelios to only be my friend.
I wanted him to be my husband.
I want him to be my husband.
And so I plead with you… not to make us wait.
