Love is Blind

I might've uploaded this before by accident, I'm really sorry if that's true, but I tried to upload it and 24 hours later it still didn't work.

AN: This is my first fic ever, so be nice. It's in Han's POV, in the part in Return of the Jedi where Leia takes off her mask after rescuing him.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. :(



"Who are you?"

"Someone who loves you."

"Leia…"

The hibernation sickness had blinded me, and I wasn't feeling my best (as I had just fallen forward flat onto the floor). I couldn't think much, but I remembered the last thing that had happened before I went into the carbonite freezing. Leia told me that she loved me. I said, "I know."

I admit I always act cocky and experienced around her, but really, I've never been in love before. Love is such a new feeling to me, a great one at that, but still so new. Nobody has known this side of me ever, and I think I never wanted anyone to. Nobody would expect me to be kind and gentle, except Chewie maybe. I guess I've always come off as rough and uncaring. But it isn't true.

Leia and I opened up to eachother in a way I've never done before, at least not with a person. It must've been hard for her to tell me that she loved me. I couldn't say it to her myself. But inside I love her. That's the only thing I know right now. I can't see a thing but just her presence is beautiful. The sound of her voice, the feeling of her soft lips against mine, and the knowledge that we have what some people long for their whole lives and never get. I don't need to see it to believe it.

This is love.
