While Leia and Finn go on a diplomatic mission, Rey sneaks Ben onto base as a technician named Matt.
TO BE EDITED. My battery is about to die but I just wanted to jot this down. Don't look too much into it lol. Just a shit post based off the SNL skit. Happy new year!
"There." She gently tucked in a strand of blond hair behind his ear.
"Do you think this is will work?" Puppy eyes magnified behind the frames she had just placed over them stared back intensely. Rey leaned up to press herself into Ben's frame before placing a swift kiss on his nose.
"It has to."
Ben walked quietly into the dining hall. Rey was off doing something and had said she would catch up in a few minutes. This would hopefully deflect any suspicion that he might be anything more to her than a random she'd helped rescue off a backwater planet after he had escaped the first order. He found a quiet spot not too far from the crowd but a respectful distance away. But of course it wasn't too long before the friendlier types came to sniff out the fresh meat.
"Hi. I'm Rose." A short dark hair girl with an open face plopped her self down across from him.
"Um, hello."
"Rey told me you defected from the first order. I know someone else who did that! I wonder if you ever met him."
"It was a large base. Stormtroopers always wear masks. I wouldn't have recognized one from the other."
"Who said anything about Stormtroopers?" Her eyes narrowed.
"I- Rey told me about Finn. She never shuts up about him." He tried to steer the conversation away.
"Oh," Was all she said, her eyes wandered off, perhaps wondering about something else. It was something he wondered about pretty often himself he would bet. How deep was the friendship that ran between Finn and Rey and could it ever blossom into something more? He scoffed to himself. Not if he had anything to say about it. His thoughts were pulled back to the present.
"What was it like being on the star destroyer?"
"Sometimes I miss how orderly it was I have to admit." He cast a disdainful glance at the meager surroundings where the resistance made their home.
"Did you ever see Kylo Ren?"
"He was so committed. Super interactive with his to his underlings- employees that I would see him pretty much as often as looking in the mirror."
"Wow. That had to have been intimidating."
"He does have a very commanding presence. Both because of who he is and physically. He's a really big guy. Actually, my friend saw him in the training room showers once. He said Kylo Ren is shredded. He said Kylo Ren has an eight pack."
"Woah."
"Admiring the enemy Rose?" Ben stiffened. The trigger happy fly boy had smoothly slid onto the bench next to Rose. Even his tray had slid into perfect angle to compliment his pose. Out of anyone that might recognize him this would be it. But the pilot flipped his hair back as he turned on his smile. "I'm Poe. Anyways I have an 8 pack too."
Some where in the background, through the force band, he could here Rey laughing.
omfg what have I gotten myself into, he thought to himself.
