This is the beginning of a bunch of oneshot stories I'm writing. Each is based on a Reylo image I saw on DeviantArt. Credit to all those amazing artists! I could never draw anything like these, so thank you for letting me use them!
I brushed his tears away with my thumb. "Ben, you have to let me go."
"I don't want to. I want to keep you forever."
"We can't. I love you, Ben, but we can't. I will die in service to the Resistance, and you will live in service to the Resistance. I would not live in a world that had been destroyed, not when it was I who forged it."
"I would not live in a world without you."
"Ben…"
"Rey, don't leave me. Please. Someone else- anyone else can do it. Just not you. Please!"
"Ben…" I was crying now, too. I didn't know what I was going to say, so I kissed him. It was gentle, and loving, like a final goodbye. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck, burying my fingers in his hair. When finally I pulled away, I said, "Ben, let go of me."
He shook his head. "Never." I backed away slowly, every step taking me closer to certain death.
"Let go."
So...
This is a thing. Yeah, I love this.
I really hope you enjoyed all this shit...
It's kinda dumb... but cute... and fluffy... and sad...
