I'm taking my first leap into the Star Wars fandom! All because of Reylo... Making this a silly little one-shot. I feel I just need to get more Reylo out there! ;-)

Just a few notes regarding how the Force Bond works for my purposes. Rey and Kylo/Ben can see and hear each other, obviously, but they can now see and hear each other's immediate surroundings, including anyone they are with. Others around them cannot see or hear the person they aren't directly with- for example, Finn when with Rey cannot see or hear Kylo Ben but Kylo can see and hear Finn.


Rey and Ben- Kylo- whoever- had just completed yet another Force Bond argument, causing her to angrily march to the dining/common room area of The Resistance's new home. They had been accepted on an Outer Rim planet of one of Leia's friend's. The Prince of this planet had agreed to put them up in an almost dormitory type of building. It's what was available, and at least everyone got their own room!

Rey filled up a glass with water and grabbed a strange (but delicious) piece of fruit before plopping onto an overly plush couch. She began replaying hers and Ben's conversation in her head, making annoyed little "muhmuhmuh" noises and wrinkling her nose when she recalled anything he had said. One day she just knew she was going to slap him right across his pretty face! No. NOT pretty. He's not pretty- she corrected herself.

Soon she felt the familiar hum of that damn Force Bond, and he was there. In front of her. Again.

"Go. Away," she practically growled and threw her half-eaten fruit at him. He easily caught it... because of course he did!... and took a bite.

"Wow. This is pretty good," Ben remarked. "Where does a fleeing gang of poor resistance fighters acquire such delicious food?" He continued with a smirk.

"Up your ass..." She muttered and was going to add to her comment but heard a group of voices heading their way.

Rey hopped off the couch, grabbed the fruit out of Ben's hand, and pointed her finger inches from his face while warning him to leave or keep quiet. She knew that whoever was coming wouldn't be able to hear him, but they would see her reactions to him. Most people were already wary of her, she didn't need them to also think she was crazy!

The door opened with loud laughter and four of Rey's friends filing through: Finn, Poe, Rose, and Conni- Lieutenant Connix really, but they had taken to calling her Conni.

"Rey of sunshine!" Poe exclaimed loudly as soon as he saw her. "Come! Join in our merriness." The other three just giggled.

"What- what is wrong with you all?" She asked, completely baffled by their strange, giddy behavior. She snuck a side glance at Ben to gauge his reaction to this raucous. He just scowled at the group.

Connie practically pranced up to Rey, took her by the wrists, and moved her arms in a type of dance. "Poe found some liquor," she explained happily.

This made Rey notice the bottle Poe was holding, as well as several other bottles that Finn and Rose were hugging. They each lined their bottles up, and Poe made a "ta-duh" type motion.

"We're going to play a game," Conni told Rey. She then looked over her shoulder at Poe and demanded, "Get a bigger cup!"

"No. No. I'm not playing!" Rey shook her head and tried to back away from Conni's grasp.

A chorus of "come on," "oh please," and "you have to" bombarded her ears.

"Oh, yes. Please," a deep voice next to her added in a mocking tone.

Rey turned her head to the side to meet Ben's gaze, though she made it look to her friends that she was thinking about their proposal. She could see very clearly the hint of jealousy in his eyes. She smirked.

"Very well then..." She agreed. "How do we play?"

They all (even Ben) looked to Poe to explain.

"Well, basically we sit in a circle and take turns telling truths about ourselves. However, if there is a question you don't want to answer, you have to take a big drink from the cup," he seemingly finished explaining.

"The cup?" Rey questioned.

"Oh, it's just a cup full of different liquors, making it disgusting to drink. Hence why people usually just answer the questions."

"Your friends are idiots," Ben commented, circling them all in disgust.

Rey felt a bit like a rebellious child, whenever Ben spoke it just made her want to participate with her friends even more.

"Let's get this started!" She exclaimed joyfully and took a seat.

Ben took a seat as well... on the next table over so that he could watch her. He of course would never admit it, but he was interested to see how friends interacted. And, what pull these people had over Rey for her to refuse to join him.

"Let's start simple. Finn, you can go first," Poe instructed.

"Alright... Let me think..." Finn tapped his chin in thought.

"Don't hurt yourself..." Ben muttered.

"Okay, if you could be any animal, what would you be?" Finn was proud of his question.

"I think I just got dumber from listening to that," Ben continued his verbal abuse.

"I don't know very many animals, since I lived on a desert planet... but the little creatures on Crait were quite cute!" Rey spoke up to support Finn.

"I like the porgs!" Rose announced. "They're so cuddly!"

"Chewie. I'd be Chewie," Poe answered. Everyone laughed. Well, not Ben. He rolled his eyes.

Innocent questions like these continued with Rose and Rey. However, when it got to Poe's turn, the question was a bit more personal.

"How many people have you slept with?" He asked nonchalantly, leaning back in his chair to study his friends' reactions.

Finn immediately grabbed the mystery liquor cup and took a drink.

"Aw, c'mon man! Don't wimp out!" Poe protested.

"At least he's consistent..." came Ben's usual insult towards Finn.

"Six," Conni supplied her answer.

"Nice," Poe nodded at her. "Can I be seven?" He shamelessly flirted. She rolled her eyes.

"Two," Rose chimed in shyly, giving a side glance in Finn's direction.

"Wow... I feel like I should just say I'm in the double digits!" Poe commented, smiling and running his hand through his hair.

Everyone just looked at him, shocked. Even Ben. He had no snide comments to add this time.

"Nope," Rey spoke up, flashing Poe a big smile. "Exact number, please! Or drink from the cup!"

"Fine!" He huffed, sitting up and leaning into the table as if to tell the biggest secret. "Twenty-two."

"WHAT?!" Finn couldn't hold in his shock. "I don't think I've even met twenty-two women!"

"You definitely can't be number seven. I'd like to remain disease free!" Conni joked.

"Hey! I'm as clean as a virgin!" Poe laughed. "Speaking of... Rey?"

All eyes were on her. One set, in particular, felt as if they were burning a hole through her.

"Twelve," she answered. Ben almost fell off the table, while everyone else looked more shocked than when Poe gave his answer. "Only joking!" She laughed. "Zero. Zero amounts of sleeping with people."

"I knew it!" Poe boasted.

"It's not difficult to figure out. I'm only 19 and didn't really have many people around..."

"Aawww! That's so sad! Like, no people? Have you even kissed someone?" Rose asked, suddenly braver knowing she's not the "virgin."

A blush crept to Rey's cheeks as she shook her head no.

"Okay, I've even kissed people!" Finn joined back into this conversation.

"There were a few gross men who would say gross things to me, so I was just never really interested," Rey explained.

"Have you at least held hands with a guy?" Poe asked jokingly.

"I've touched hands with a guy!" Rey answered cheerfully, and it was Ben's turn to blush.

"Whoa! I was joking. That definitely doesn't count at all for anything!" Poe told her. "You're making me sad. I'm not going to lie, I thought you were kind of hot, but now you're like an adorably pathetic little sister. No wonder a man hasn't wanted to have sex with you!"

"Hey! That's mean!" Rey stood up for herself. "We can't all be slutty like you!"

"Yeah! Don't be an ass, Poe!" Conni backed Rey up.

"I'm not trying to be mean, I'm trying to be helpful. Look, you're a pretty girl, but you're too sweet and naive and, well, sisterly. I mean, Finn, would you get with Rey?"

"Nope," came Finn's immediate reply. "I mean, no offense, but he's right. You definitely have a little sister vibe."

"You do NOT have a little sister vibe," Ben spoke up, and Rey had to do everything in her power to not stare at him.

"Why is everyone ganging up on me? Finn didn't even answer the question!"

"I took a mystery drink gulp, but since you called me out, I'll answer," he conceded, giving Rey a playful glare. "Two. I'm also at two like Rose. BUT I was a Stormtrooper! Not much opportunity there..."

"I'm sorry, but I'm coming back to you Rey... Have you wanted to, let's start slow here, at least kiss a man?" Conni put Rey back on the spot.

"I don't know. Maybe? Yes? I mean, I probably would. I don't know..." She rambled on a bit flustered, definitely avoiding eye contact with a certain man dressed in all black.

"Oooohhhh! She's blushing!" Rose teased. "Is there someone you like?!"

"No!" Rey answered a little too quickly.

"Has anyone told you that you are a terrible liar?" Finn informed her.

"So, no one on Jakku because they're all gross..." Conni began her deductions. "It's obviously not these two losers-"

"Hey!" Both men protested.

"-is there a cute resistance guy around here I don't know about?" Conni asked, nudging Rey a bit.

Rey laughed nervously. "I haven't actually met that many people yet. So... let's change the subject!"

"I just feel that we should teach you, Rey. We all have experience. Some more than others..."

"Yeah! Just tell us who you have the hots for, and I'll totally be your wingman," Poe offered.

"That mechanic guy, Matt I think, is kind of cute. In a quirky way..." Rose offered.

"Not interested," Rey said simply, crossing her arms and leaning back into her chair.

"In Matt or in our help?" Poe asked.

"Any of it! I'm thoroughly embarrassed as it is. Can we just move on now?!"

"Just give us a name. A first name. An initial. What's he look like? Something! First love is sooo cute!" Conni tried to pull more information from Rey. "Do we know him?"

"There isn't a him! I'm not interested in anyone!"

"Liar," Poe said while pretending to cough.

Suddenly a gasp came from Finn, and they all looked at him. "No..." He breathed.

"You know who it is!" Rose exclaimed.

"Oh, I hope not," Finn stated while staring Rey down. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "I mean, unless it's Luke Skywalker..."

"Ew!" Everyone said in unison. Even Ben wrinkled his nose in disgust.

"No! Ew! No! He's like 60! And dead. So there's that..." Rey couldn't help locking eyes with Ben while speaking of his uncle.

"So, it's not us," Finn motions to himself and Poe, "and its no one on Jakku. It's not an old man, and you haven't met very many resistance men yet..."

"Yeah... So... what's your point?" Rey asked getting tired of this interrogation.

"There's literally only one other man that you have met. Should I say his name or will you confess?" Finn asked, clearly irritated.

"I really haven't got a clue of what- or who you mean!" Rey stuck to her argument. Her face, however, betrayed her by turning a lovely shade of pink.

Ben waited patiently on his perch. He knew the answer. He had known the answer since she came to the Supremecy for him, and he killed for her. They killed for each other. He enjoyed that her friends were making her squirm, and he was thrilled to be present when the truth came out to these rebels.

"K-" was all Finn could get out before he was interrupted by Rey admitting, "Ben. His name is Ben."

"Oooohhhhh. Ben! That's a good name," Rose spoke up, trying to be extra supportive even if it was just to pull more information from Rey.

Poe and Conni were trying to think of a Ben they knew but were coming up blank. Rey silently pleaded with Finn to not tell. She then let her eyes wander to Ben. He sat there smirking.

"Don't look at me! I knew the answer. I'm not shocked. We already fight like lovers... we might as well make it real," Ben said and winked at her.

Rey made the smallest of facial expressions which made Finn follow her gaze to nothingness. He could feel his skin crawl. It was then that he knew Kylo Ren was there. Finn was the only one who knew about the bond. "Rey..." He whispered. "Is he here?"

Rey slightly nodded. No one else noticed their interaction because they were having too much fun trying to figure out who Ben was.

"How do you know this mysterious Ben?" Rose asked Finn.

Finn and Rey shared a look. Rey continuing to plead for secrecy. Finn looking absolutely disgusted and at a complete loss for words over this revelation. Ben took this opportunity to vacate his seat and place himself a bit behind the space between Rey and Finn.

"What ever are you going to do once all of your friends learn your dirty little secret?!" Ben mocked her. "I guess you'll have to return to me..."

"Why do I get the feeling you don't like this guy?" Poe asked Finn.

"Are you jealous?" Rose asked quickly, face burning.

"Of course not!" Finn was quick to answer. "I- It's- He's- It's complicated."

Rey breathed a sigh of relief. However, her moment of escape didn't last long as Ben was disappointed that Finn didn't out her.

"Well, this is frustrating," he stated.

Ben grabbed Rey's bare hand and he was suddenly visible to everyone. Her friends quickly stood from the table. Poe went for his blaster that wasn't there.

"You all were having such a difficult time figuring it out. I thought I would help. My name is Ben," he stated.

Rey jerked her hand away from him, and he once again became invisible to everyone except her.

"What. The fuck. Just happened," Poe asked, actually looking scared for once.

"Um... It's complicated," Rey offered.

"As complicated as you being a traitor and fucking Kylo fucking Ren?! Fuck!" Poe kicked a chair. "Does he know where we are?"

"No!" Rey answered quickly. She then added, "but he's still here... So let's not talk about it."

"He's still here?!" Rose squeaked, now hiding behind Finn.

"Yeeessss... That's part of what's complicated," Rey began to explain. "Short version, he can't hurt you. He can only see and hear you. He can't even touch you."

"But he just touched you!" Conni pointed out.

"Oh, that's because we're connected," Rey said as if that was a normal reply. "You all only saw him because he touched me. It happened once in front of Luke, too."

"Are you going to let them think we're- how did the pilot put it? Fuckng?" Been teased her. "You never corrected him... Though, I don't mind. We can make that a true statement once I find you," he smirked.

Rey slapped him, and everyone gasped when they fleetingly saw him as her hand made contact with his cheek.

Ben let out a humorless laugh. "Will you like it rough, Rey?" He taunted.

"Well, I hope everyone is proud of themselves. Thanks for letting him know of my feelings," she sarcastically told her friends.

"Hey! It's not our fault that you fell for a creep!" Finn defended. "Hear that? You're a creep!" He addressed Ben, though he was looking at the now empty space that Ben had occupied.

"Among other things..." Poe muttered.

Conni smirked and sat back down. She looked around at her friends and shrugged. "He must have a big cock."

Finn and Poe made disgusted noises and Rose couldn't help but to giggle.

"Ok. I may like this one," Ben indicated Conni.

Rey rolled her eyes and groaned. "He can hear you!"

"Can he go away?!" Poe asked, now thoroughly irritated. "Go away, asshole!" He addressed Ben but stared at Rey.

"You know," Conni began, ignoring everyone, "if you two can touch each other through this connection of yours, you can probably do other things as well..." She winked at Rey.

"She makes a very good point..." Ben said, now behind Rey and a little too close for her comfort. "Can we go back to your room?" He whispered in her ear, his lips not quite touching her.

"Well, this game was... fun... Thanks for making me play. I'm leaving now. I'm going to go study on how to sever this bond!" Rey announced, face crimson. She then bolted from the room.

"I'm telling Leia," Poe said once Rey was gone.

"Maybe wait until the morning..." Conni suggested with a smile.


Rey slammed her door behind her, locked all the locks, and leaned against it. She knew that this would not keep him out, but it still made her feel better.

Ben didn't appear immediately, giving Rey hope that the connection was over. However, he did materialize right in front of her after a few minutes. Her back was still pressed to the door, which didn't give her much room to maneuver around him. Ben was quick to notice this and cut off any escape routes that she had with his body.

Reminiscent of his interrogation of her on Starkiller Base, her eyes glanced up at him and then quickly away. Ben gazed down at her, the smallest of smiles forming on his lips.

"You have feelings for me," he stated what they both already knew. "And not 'good girl' feelings."

Ben cocked his head to the side to study her reaction. She glanced at him again, looked away, but was unable to keep her eyes from his and finally met his gaze. She let out a frustrated breath.

"Oh, screw it!" She finally gave in, practically attacking him. Rey pressed her body against Ben's, grabbed behind his neck, and pulled his face down to hers. She brought her lips to his, devouring his mouth.

Ben was shocked, and it took him a second or two to catch up. However, once he did, he lifted Rey up as she wrapped her legs around him, and he pressed her back against the door.

Once they came up for air, Rey informed him, "this is as far as we're going."

"We'll see about that..." He gave her a smug smile, and was back to kissing her in a heartbeat.
