Summary:
Every time he sees her he aches to touch her in any way. She lets him.
Posted this a couple of months ago on Tumblr and Ao3 for Reylo Week - Day 3- touch. This is my first published Reylo and Star Wars fic, please be nice.
Enjoy this while I complete the chapters that are waiting to be updated!
Every time he sees her he aches to touch her. In any way, the brush of their hands or her body pressed against his as they walk, her thigh against his as they sit. Touching her confirms to him that she is real, they are real. It shows him that she chose him and he chose her and that this isn't a dream. Sometimes he can stop himself from touching her, sometimes.
Like right now, she walked into the room laughing with the traito-Finn's girlfriend about something and he can't stop staring at her lips and wishing to just hold her. As if she could feel his stare and want she looks at him and flashes him a soft smile that he returned. He watched her say goodbye to Rose and walk towards him.
The moment Rey came close enough to him to touch her, he grabbed her wrists and pulled her towards his chest, taking in her scent. Rey then turned around in his hold and her hand started tracing the scar she gave him. She'd been out all day with Rose, helping all the civilisations that had been most affected from the war.
"I missed you" Rey whispered, softly kissing each of his fingers.
"Me too" and with that Ben captured her lips in front of everyone, not caring who saw. Rey's hands flew to his hair and his hands landed on her hips as they shared a long, deep kiss. Rey could sense a bit of desperation coming from him so she kissed him harder to reassure him that she was here.
After all, she felt that same desperation at times, afraid he would leave like almost everyone had. That's why she let him touch her in every way possible and vice versa.
As they broke apart Ben shot her a heart-melting smile and in the background, she vaguely heard Poe say "Get a room! Or no wait, let me call Threepio. Now that would be entertaining".
It sucks right? Please tell me what you think. Give me a follow on my insta- ClumsyKnowItAll to know when I post stuff and follow me on Wattpad (same name) as it had fewer criteria and limitations on what I can post. Also, keep an eye out for a long Star Wars fic.
