Din’s eyes stay locked on Eden’s figure as she speaks. He tilts his head slightly, listening to every word, his eyes softening as reaches up to touch her cheek as a way to comfort her. Ease her.

He didn’t realize she had such troubles, she always seemed to be hiding behind that badass bounty, maternal mask she put on. He pressed their lips together for a moment, stroking her skin quietly.

❛ Cyar’ika.. ❜ He says softly, leaning in to press their foreheads together. ❛ Thank you for telling me this. I didn’t realize that…❜ He said softly, nodding. ❛ You know you can always talk to me about that.. ❜

❛ We’ll know. ❜ He finally promises.

Eden leans into his touch, and soon returns the kiss he presses to her lips. She wasn’t looking for comfort when she had opened up to him; she just felt the desire to tell him more about herself. But for some reason, his comforting words weren’t unwelcome. She appreciated his reception of her words, her story. The two had undoubtedly struggled plenty in their time growing up - there were battles unspoken that lie within the depths of their minds, perhaps to reveal themselves to each other someday.

Still, despite how much Eden trusted Din - despite how comfortable he made her feel - vulnerability was never a strong suit of hers. As their foreheads press together, Eden shakes her head slightly against his. ❛ It’s in the past now. But thank you. ❜

It’s all she says for a moment, simply giving him a nod in response to his other statement. They’ll know. It’s something she can count on for some reason, despite having no clue what that would entail. All she knew was that time was not now.

Eden feels like she has to change the subject; she didn’t want to dwell on her past for too long, not now. She pulls away from Din for a moment, her hands reaching to find his face. She idly strokes his cheeks with her thumbs, letting out a hum before she speaks.

❛ Corellia’s no place for the kid. I know someone there who can look after him, so we don’t have to worry about something happening to him. But I know how you feel about leaving him. ❜

Truth be told, she hated it too, but Din’s bond with the child was far stronger than her own bond with the little one. It was unspoken, but the final say was always Din’s.

Din gently holds Eden against him, pausing in thought at her final comment. He bounces his leg for a moment, turning his head.

❛ Can I ask who?- I’m sorry.. I just-.. I just want to make sure he’ll be safe. If we do that. ❜ He nods, rubbing her waist reassuringly. Gingerly, he turns his head, pressing silent kisses to the palm of her hand.

Din didn’t want to come off like a hovering parent to the kid, but he knew he dangers of leaving him alone for even a second. Hell, sometimes he found himself getting anxious without him in sight on the ship.

Mirai feels Kylo tense as he realizes how the two of them had ended up, quietly smiling to herself. She gently stretches her legs, the feeling of a large finger suddenly jabbing into her side. She gasps, quickly trying to grab his wrists, failing as he succeeded with another poke.

She.. laughs?

❛ Stop! ❜ She begs, which was followed by a giggle, her voice hoarse from just waking.

It’s quick and barely noticeable, but Kylo flinches at Mirai’s reaction. Her reflexes were fast, but what caught Kylo most off-guard was the laugh she let out at him. He was expecting annoyance - or anger - or… anything else, really, but she laughed. Perplexed, the Supreme Leader stares at her with furrowed brows, his arm now frozen in place as her hand remained clamped around his wrist. He doesn’t poke her any more, though; he’s too jarred by the reaction she had already given him.

❛ I didn’t know how else to wake you. ❜ He explains, his voice probably letting on his confusion more than he would have liked. ❛ I had no idea you’d be amused by it. ❜

Mirai quietly attempts to catch her breath, her head falling once more as she continues to tightly hold his hand in place, sighing in relief.

❛ It tickles. ❜ She says through giggles, a smirk wiping her face just a moment after. Her fingers suddenly, playfully attempts to find their spot on either sides of his waist, gently moving just enough to give him a similar sensation.

Suddenly, everything seems to freeze again. An alarm blares for just a moment before there’s silence. Mirai looks over at the large screen across the room- a familiar face appearing. She hesitates as she excitedly sits up, eyes scanning his face to ensure he was alright.

Today was the day. Even the weather was acknowledging. The sun beat down in busy New York City.

New York had to be the most exciting city in the world. Din admired it’s vibrancy, the assurance, the fast pace. He was finally here.

He’d successfully landed a job at a wonderful, Marks Paneth LLP, unable to believe his luck. Working for a major accounting firm in Manhattan was anyone’s dream.

The sheer energy of the city seeped through his skin and into his veins, a constant shot of adrenaline. Here, he could be whoever he wanted. He could live his life without being questioned over his plans, how he was doing, any of that. In the breathless bustle that was New York City, folks were too busy thinking about themselves to have time to think about anyone else. Interaction skimmed the surface and never went deep, he was merely a part of the crowd.

He had decided to start the day off light. He grabbed a coffee from his newfound favorite shop, and was on his way to the bookstore.

The door chimes as he swings it open, taking a sip of the black coffee as he looks around excitedly. His eyes scanned every corner of the store, curious to see what he could find.

New York City. The city that never sleeps. Even at night, life bustles around with shift changes and partygoers. But when the city is covered in a thick blanket of snow, that’s when New York rests. People are home-bound, spending the day indoors without any call to go outside. Most work cancelled for the day, schools are empty, and the streets are but a snowy white canvas with the occasionally stroke of tire tracks and footprints of all sorts painted across it, in every direction.

Mirai jumped into her boots at the door, groaning as she quickly slipped into her parka.

Of course David had decided it was necessary the coffee shop stayed open today.

❛ Yes.. Yes, I’m on my way! I’ll be there in half an hour. ❜ She grumbles into the speaker of her phone, just as quickly hanging up as she shoves it into the pocket of her jacket.

❛ I’ll be back later, Chewie! ❜ She shouts into the apartment, halfway out the door. The small horse-sized dog perks his head up from his bed, barking in response.

Her boots crunch in the snow as she walks down the street, staring down at the screen in front of her again, which dimly lit her face. It was still early, still dark outside. The city seemed to be resting for now.

Din notices her hesitation. He cups her face, pulling her in for another gentle kiss as he slowly stands up straight. Eden can hear a light switch, and suddenly, it’s all dark again.

She was right to do so. He was eager to see her without the filter of the visor, but in the cockpit of the Razor Crest didn’t seem ideal, the more Din thought on it.

❛ I understand. I got too ahead of myself. ❜ He says, moving down to hold her again. ❛ I trust you, though. I do. ❜ He whispers, brushing her hair from her face, which he could no longer see.

❛ We’ll know when it’s right, beautiful girl. I want you to be ready for that. ❜ He finally adds, gently pulling her to his chair and into his lap, landing against the chair with a quiet grunt. ❛ I’m sorry. ❜ He slowly takes her hands, looking up to where he assumes her face is.

Eden holds her breath as Din moves about, and as she hears the lights flick off, she opens her eyes - though it makes no difference. She tries to place the tone of his voice as he speaks, gently brushing against her hair and touching her face. Her hands reach up to place themselves over his own, but Din is soon tugging her towards his chair and pulling her into his lap. She winces as he apologizes, and Eden gives his hands a squeeze.

❛ No, I’m… honored you trust me that much, I just… ❜ She fumbles to find words. ❛ Please don’t apologize. You just… caught me off-guard. ❜ Slowly, Eden leads his hands upwards, placing them on either side of her face. ❛ I want to see you, I do. ❜ When the time feels right… whenever that may be.

Hopefully he’s right, and they’ll know.

She presses a kiss to one of his palms, her eyes fluttering shut for a moment as they sit in silence. She feels like she has to be the one to fill it now. Her eyes open again, and she’s faced with only the dark, and the sound of his breaths.

❛ You know, where I grew up, all we really knew was the dark. We were so deep underground, all of our light was artificial. We’d have power outages because something would happen on the surface, and we’d be forgotten. Sometimes for days. And the shit that would happen in the dark… I’m sure you can imagine it. ❜ She pauses for a moment; she’s rambling, which… frankly hardly ever happens. Upon realizing this, Eden quickly moves to reach her point.

❛ And in our line of work, the dark is unavoidable. I started to hate it. Like, really fucking hate it. ❜ There’s another pause, and one of her hands leaves his as she reaches to find his face. ❛ I don’t hate it now. I’m… comfortable. ❜ With him. ❛ That doesn’t mean I want to see you any less. And I know it must be scarier for you than it is for me, but… ❜ She lets out a sigh. ❛ I think I… want to stay here a little longer… ❜ In the dark, with him, until things feel right.

❛ … if that’s alright. ❜

With that, she falls silent. She isn’t sure what compelled her to talk so much.

Hours had passed. Mirai slowly stirs, rolling over as her eyes flutter open to a black clad chest in front of her. She stiffens just slightly, looking up through her lashes to see Kylo lazily laying against the wall. The two of them had seemed to have slumped over top of each other during the night.

Laying in bed with the very man who was keeping her as prisoner. Interesting. She paused in thought for a moment. It didn’t really feel like so.. He seemed genuinely curious about her.. about getting to know her. Caring, if she wanted to be brave with her words.

She sighs softly, too cold to move away from him. She decides to rest her eyes for a little while longer, pressing her cheek against his collarbone.

Kylo feels Mirai stir, and his eyes open slightly. He sees that she’s moved to rest against his collarbone; she’s… very close to him. He isn’t sure how long they’d slept, and no one has called for him, but he begins to wonder if he should get up. The issue was that there was currently a person sleeping on top of him - a situation he had never been in before. Kylo stays still for a few more moments, looking down at Mirai with curious eyes.

How was she sleeping so soundly?

He supposes he slept well too, but he wasn’t in any sort of danger with her. Perhaps she realized that, at the moment, he wasn’t a danger to her either. After a few minutes of slightly panicked consideration and weighing options, Kylo resorts to poking at the young woman, hoping she’ll wake up.

Perhaps it isn’t the best method, but he doesn’t know what else to do.

❛ Stop! ❜ She begs, which was followed by a giggle, her voice hoarse from just waking.

Din watches her with lidded eyes and a smile as he crosses his arms over his chest for a moment, chuckling.

❛ He woke up and had a snack this morning. He went back to bed after, he’s back to lights out for a while. ❜ He says softly, finally stepping in front of her.

Din didn’t want to keep missing these moments, feeling his bare skin against hers. He was crazy over her- she knew that. Yes, he was lucky enough to see her every day, but it was through that damned visor on the helmet. He was taking in watching her without it for once, and his mind started to wander more…

Slowly, he leans down slightly, guiding Eden’s hands up to his face, letting her feel as she usually did, if she wished to. He lets out a hesitant breath, nuzzling her hand calmly.

❛Cyar’ika.. ❜ He whispers, leaning in to press a single kiss to her lips. ❛ You mean everything to me. I’m right here if you want to. ❜ He says softly, his thumb grazing her cheek as he watches her quietly, nearly nose-to-nose with her. He nervously watches her after he speaks.

❛ Mmm. He tired himself out yesterday. ❜ Eden lets out a chuckle, her head tilting as she hears one of his boots pad against the floor in front of her. It isn’t long before he is taking her hands and guiding them upwards, and Eden is gently cupping his face as he nuzzles her palm.

She smiles against his lips when he kisses her, but the smile soon vanishes, to be replaced with confusion. If you want to… The words repeat in Eden’s mind as she tries to piece together what he meant. As her hands continue touch his face - his exposed face - she realizes what he might mean.

And her stomach drops.

Is he serious?

If he was, Eden felt honored to be trusted so deeply, but she also felt… well, terrified. What if he was being impulsive? What if he regretted it later? No; Din never really said or did anything so serious without being sure. As much as Eden wanted to see his face, she never pried, which might have been why Din was even making the offer to her. She feels like this is a big step - no, it’s huge; it’s everything. She isn’t sure if she’s ready to take it.

Was that selfish? It’s not like she wasn’t serious about him - she was - more serious than she’d been about anyone else in that respect, but this… this was huge.

Din was standing there, his face exposed, opening himself up to her, and Eden was… hesitating? The bounty hunter struggles to find words for a moment, her touch never leaving his skin. Her eyes remain squeezed shut.

❛ If I want to… ❜ She echoes him, her voice soft. ❛ Din… ❜ All she can manage to do is say his name at the moment, another precious thing he had entrusted her with. She almost hopes he’d offer her some explanation, or assurance that he wouldn’t be offended if she, at the moment, chose not to look - not because she didn’t want to, not because she didn’t trust this is what he wanted, but because she wanted to make sure it felt right.

The girl watches him for a while , studying him with a red face. She eventually moves to the wall again to relax beside him, going quiet. She was fighting to keep her eyes open, sighing deeply.

Within minutes, their was a gentle thud and sudden weight against his upper arm, a tiny hand resting itself on his belt as the smaller figure curled as against his warm body.

Kylo sits there, staying incredibly still as Mirai leans on him. He isn’t sure what to do; he would almost feel wrong pushing her off… and she looked so… comfortable. The Supreme Leader decides to allow her to rest against him, and he actually allows himself to drift off to sleep, a rare occurrence when someone else was in the room.

❛ No- ❜ She answers, almost.. too quickly. She chokes on her breath, then slowly swallows the lump in her throat, shaking her head. ❛ You don’t have to do that, unless you want.. ❜ She finally forced out, growing embarrassed. She bites her tongue, beginning to gently scoot away.

He’s once more perplexed by her reaction, watching her as she scrambles to respond to him. As she scoots away, Kylo does the same, leaning against the wall once more and crossing his arms over his chest. ❛ I’ll stay here. ❜ He states plainly, shutting his eyes and leaning his head back. He doesn’t sleep just yet, resting his eyes instead. He’d much rather wait for her to sleep first, just to be sure she wasn’t going to try escaping, though he was the only one with the ability to unlock the room.

Suddenly, there’s a breath against her soft hair. He gently reaches around to hold her jaw still, kissing her ear tenderly. He breathes softly against her, his free hand gently moving to hold her hip.

❛ Corellia. ❜ He speaks softly, standing up behind her once more, looking down on her with his own eyes.

Eden practically melts at the feeling of his lips against her ear, as his glove nudges her face towards him. She instinctively closes her eyes, so she doesn’t accidentally take a look at his face. He’s soon standing upright again, and the bounty hunter frowns. ( She’s glad he can’t see her face at the moment. )

She gives a nod at his response, pausing a moment before moving a hand up to cover her eyes. She turns around to face him, letting her hand drop but keeping her eyes squeezed shut. It feels strange talking to him like this, but she felt if he wanted to keep his helmet off around her, he trusted her enough not to look. Of course, she’s at a disadvantage; even with her detection skills, it was near impossible to tell exactly where he was. So she simply stands there, her head tilting to the side, in what she presumes to be his general direction.

❛ You check on the kid? He still asleep? ❜ She’s surprised he hasn’t woken up searching for food yet. Maybe miracles did happen.

Mirai slightly tenses, crossing her legs for a moment before looking off. She bites her inner lip, shaking her head.

❛ I’m- I’m not tired.. ❜ She lies. She didn’t feel unsafe around Kylo- No, in fact, he was the only person she really trusted on this ship, especially now. She stays sitting close to him, looking up slowly.

❛ I can tell you’re lying. ❜ Kylo puts it simply, watching her as she looks off in a random direction. His gaze follows her, but he realizes she’s just looking away for the sake of it, so his eyes return to her. ❛ I can go to the other side of the room until you wake up. ❜

❛ No- ❜ She answers, almost.. too quickly. She chokes on her breath, then slowly swallows the lump in her throat, shaking her head. ❛ You don’t have to do that, unless you want.. ❜ She finally forced out, growing embarrassed. She bites her tongue, beginning to gently scoot away.

The girl watches as he slowly moves his head back, gently moving her hand back towards her body. She lets her palm press against his bare cheek for a brief moment just as his did when he dried her tears, before sitting back down on her knees, placing her hand back in her lap.

❛ Okay. ❜ She finally answers, studying him.

❛ Okay. ❜ Kylo responds just as softly, unsure of what to do now. He supposes they should probably rest; he doesn’t think she’s going to try running off anywhere, for some reason. She seems to have developed some sort of trust for him, even if it’s a small amount. He attributes that to their Force-connection. ❛ I suppose… you need to rest now. ❜

Mirai slightly tenses, crossing her legs for a moment before looking off. She bites her inner lip, shaking her head.

Din sits up slightly, smiling softly to himself as he peeks over his shoulder at her.

❛ Yes. Did you? ❜ He asks softly. His thoughts race rapidly for a moment before he slowly sits up, moving at a snails pace so he wouldn’t hear her. Slowly, Din gently pushes himself out of the chair as he sets the helmet down, walking lightly towards her.

❛ Yeah, floor mattress is actually surprisingly comfortable. ❜ Eden crosses her arms over her chest and chuckles, her back still facing the cockpit. She notices that it’s gotten a little quiet since his inquiry, but she also doesn’t want to turn around in case his helmet isn’t on and he’s turned to face her. She figured she could never be too careful. ❛ Where are we headed first? Ryloth? Or Corellia? ❜ They had several bounties on their list, after all.

❛ You know that’s not what I mean. ❜ Mirai says softly, moving to sit up on her knees and face him, sitting much closer to eye level now. ❛ Are you lonely? ❜ She asks softly this time, tucking a strand of his hair back.

He watches her curiously, sitting still as stone as she moves closer to him and reaches out to tuck a piece of hair behind his ear. He’s not sure what to do about the gesture at first, but the sensation of someone’s hand brushing close to his face feels… unnatural. He hasn’t felt such a thing in years, so it jars him, to say the least. He moves his head back slightly, blinking several times before responding. What was happening? ❛ I… said no. ❜

The girl watches as he slowly moves his head back, gently moving her hand back towards her body. She lets her palm press against his bare cheek for a brief moment just as his did when he dried her tears, before sitting back down on her knees, placing her hand back in her lap.
