FROM NOTHING

@yourdxwnfall said:“…Can I?” ask to kiss poe!

he had been distracted by rey’s lips, by the feel of her hair against his fingertips as he brushed a stray curl behind her ear. the dim light in the room seemed to make her positively glow and he met her eyes with a small smirk. “yes,” he answered, voice a whisper as he moved to close the gap himself, bringing their lips together in their first kiss.

She was looking at his eyes, watching the way they moved as he looked at her. But when he lifted his gaze to meet her eye again, it felt like the breath was knocked from her lungs. She began to smile with granted permission and her smile only grew as he closed the gap between them. She kissed him softly, but with no trace of hesitation.

“I--” she paused, because she knew it was true. She sighed and laid down the equipment she was working on, “You’re awfully cheerful tonight.”

WHAT SHAPE DOES YOUR PAIN TAKE?

A PICTURE

A picture. A single image reminding you of someone or something you've lost, something you don't want to live without. You can't seem to move on, to accept life has changed, to live again. You're trapped in the picture, in the past. 

Maybe this was a lost family member or friend, maybe this was a sickness that isn't going away, maybe this was sinking into depression. But you can't help but remember how life was before, how life after will never be the same, and can't help but feel that nothing in the future will be able to fill the hole the past left.

Nothing lasts forever... Right?

“Oh? How generous of you, Last Jedi, granting me an opportunity for redemption. I somehow doubt the Rebel scum you’ve allied yourself with feels the same way.” He retorted. “I destroyed my uncle’s temple, I did my best to stamp out any seed of the Jedi, I did nothing to stop the destruction of Hosnian Prime, I tortured Poe and you, I fought against a vision of my uncle with the intent to kill him, oh and lest we forget, I killed my own father, making my mother a widow. Right now I’ve sworn to destroy you. Tell me, what makes you think suddenly I’m not a monster and deserve a happy ending?”

“Because I can see you through all that.” she argued, glaring at him, “Because I know when the time comes... I’ve seen your mind, Ben. I know you, just like you know me. Please, abandon this fruitless cause. The light is calling you, can’t you feel that? Even after everything you’ve done, it still calls to you. I can still feel your conflict.”

“Doubt the base is going to stick together for too much longer. I think we all want to get back to our lives, or at least those who had something before all of this.” He on the other hand… Well drifting covered it fairly well. The closest thing the First Order had to roots was Starkiller. The temple had been more a resting point while Skywalker continued to learn more of the old Jedi order and trying to find the original temple. “Home” as close as he could have called it had been Hosnian Prime.

“Somewhere calm. Maybe just outside a city somewhere, but I’d probably get more peace the further out I went… No one’s going to want to live in the same neighborhood as Kylo Ren.” Not knowingly at least. “Find a decent house where I can just have my own garden to sit and meditate in.”

Uneasiness set in at the thought of disbanding. Sure there was no more war, but she didn’t have anything else. “What will happen to those of us who have no home?” she asked, tilting her head to the side as her expression remained stoic despite the inner turmoil, “I have nothing to go back to.” 

The thought of returning to Jakku made her stomach turn, so she’d never go back there. She knew she now had the freedom to go anywhere, do anything, but she didn’t want to let go of what she’d found. The Resistance was the closest thing she had to a family, the closest thing she’d probably ever have.

“Why can’t I?” He looked at her. “Never forget what I am, Rey. What you have called me in the past. I am a monster. People like me don’t get to live happily ever after.”

“You could.” she said simply, shaking her head, “I was wrong to have called you a monster, I can see that now. Why can’t you?”

“Well there’s plenty of places in the galaxy that can provide.” He kept a hold of her hand as he moved in front of her, walking backwards. “So the next question would be do you want somewhere well populated or where you have to jump on a speeder in order to even see your neighbors? Though I suppose there are planets that could still provide both if you didn’t live close to the cities.” 

There were others however that were just barely towns bound together for survival and perhaps one small city where most of the governing took place. If they were even large enough to worry about such things but those tended to be  the ones frequented by pirates all too often. Not that she probably couldn’t hold her own against those as well. “I can help you find the perfect place to settle down. If I haven’t been there at some point I still know quite a few others that might fit.”

“Hm... I guess it would depend on who the neighbors were. I’ve been alone so long, it might be nice to be around some people.” She admitted, “But I don’t think I’d want to be anywhere else than where I am right now.” She had friends, family. Why would she want to give that up? 

“What about you? Where would you want to settle down?” she asked curiously, tilting her head to the side. She rarely talked about where she wanted to go or do, mainly because she didn’t know. It was a big galaxy, and the amount of choices intimidated her. She wondered if he was in the same boat.

Ben didn’t mind the silence between them, particularly the deeper they got into the woods and away from the other people. Places like this had their own sort of Force energy without the constant flowing emotions of other more sentient beings. It was the sort of place he could let his walls down a little more without feeling like everyone’s energies were crashing in around him.

“You know it seems like my favorite places on about any planet I’ve been for a period of time is the public gardens…” There were usually areas one could go as not everywhere, thankfully, could be like Coruscant. But they were small havens in the otherwise busy areas that he could better focus. “Then I suppose there wasn’t even as much as a designated patch of greenery at the Jakku outposts?”

“There wasn’t.” She remembered the first time she’d seen a green planet, how the wonder of it all had gripped her. She took a deep breath, “I could live in a place like this.” She used to dream of finding home surrounded by trees and green and no scrap yard anywhere nearby. 

Now, she supposed, with the war over and nothing left to fight, she could live in a place like this. The freedom this new life granted her was breathtaking, the ability to go anywhere, do anything... She glanced over at her companion, still smiling, and knew that right here was where she wanted to be. Not where she had to be.

Ben just nodded, still not that open to being friendly outright with others. Besides Rey did that more than well enough for both of them. He just took in the surroundings before nodding in one direction. “Forest. For once I’d like to actually be in one with you without possible killing being attempted.” Or kidnapping. They did not have the best history in being out among a large number of trees.

Though if she got tired he would be more than glad to carry her back.

He reached over enough to take her hand again and head out to see what trails they might find.

“Yes, I would be deeply disappointed if you tried to kill me or kidnap me at this point.” she teases as they start off toward the forest. She smiled as he took her hand but didn’t make mention of it. She wanted to lace their fingers together, but feared it would be going too fast. She tread carefully with him, never wanting to push him too far. 

She kept her eyes on their surroundings, letting the silence fall momentarily between them. It was a comfortable silence on her end, just listening to the rustle of leaves and their footsteps on the ground. She greatly enjoyed moments like this, where peace was a living thing around them.

“good. i’m glad to hear it. you deserve a break. you two have been training hard. Vutyc reached for the cup nearby, a small please leaving him as he looked up at Rey. It was too far for Dyn to reach, though he did lift a hand to push the cup a little closer with a smile hidden beneath his helmet.

“He’s very intelligent,” the Mandalorian agreed. “Do you need anything? I’m making a supply run in a bit, I’ll try and get whatever I can,” he offered.

Rey smiled down at Vutyc and nodded in approval before handing him the cup that had been pushed toward them. “Slowly, this time.” she says with an amused tone before she removes her hand from the cup and turns her attention back to Dyn.

“Oh, no, I don’t need anything.” she says with a nod, “I’d offer to go with you, but I think the General would frown upon me gallivanting across the galaxy right now.”
