Hello everyone,

This is a new story I came up with for KOTFE, I noticed that there weren't many male JK X Lana stories so I made one myself. I have made some changes to the story so it's slightly AU. I hope that you will like it and if you do let me know what you think, I appreciate any constructive criticism to improve myself and my stories.

Onward to the story.

(SPOILERS FOR KOTFE UP TO CHAPTER 9.)

Davin Hawkes sat quietly in this quarters of the Alliance base on Odessen, quietly thinking on his bed with his hands clasped together and frowning deeply of all that has happened so far. It was five years since, everything, the cold war followed by the galactic war, the Hutts and Revan.

Not to mention all that he had fought for, all of it gone. with the shadow of a new evil casting over the galaxy named the Eternal Empire. Lana had told him that within a year they had practically won.

The Republic was still there but broken and shattered unlike years ago. Saresh still controlled the senate through a puppet, whilst most sought change. As for the Jedi, he had received word that much of the Jedi order was either killed in battle or went into hiding. What was once thousands of members, even at the height of the war was now reduced to a mere fraction.

Yet they were not the only one who had taken a beating the Sith empire too lost many in battle against the eternal empire while he was frozen in carbonite, if it wasn't for Lana he would still be in carbonite. A wall trophy for Arcann.

But she mounted a rescue to break him out, for him of all people.

Davin had developed feelings for her during the Revanite crisis and Ziost, he had suspected she had too but it wasn't until Odessen that they both, truly admitted their feelings.

But it wasn't just Lana that rescued her, T7, his old friend from his time on Tython came once again to his rescue. To Davin's surprise no one else from his crew was there, when he asked about them, T7 nor Lana could give him a clear answer.

Yet they where not alone in his rescue. Koth, a Zakuulan military officer that was exiled for disobeying orders. Orders that would have killed civilians. Davin was suspicious at first glance but after he told what had happened on Dennon, Davin realised that he had a sense of honor and after getting off Zakuul he had begun to trust him.

The most surprising help came from Rulmatt Trannis, the only surviving bounty hunter had had won the fabled great hunt. Eventually his reputation declined as he was placed on top of the republic's most wanted list by Davin's own predecessor; Jun Seros.

He had met him before, during the revanite crisis. Lana had recruited him and his crew to help on Manaan and Rishi, being a bounty hunter and having killed Jedi. Davin despised the bounty hunter just as much as Rulmatt despised the Jedi. What was more of a surprise to Davin was that he was married with a girl named Mako. It wasn't long before he could see the cracks in his hard exterior when she was around.

The two eventually developed a mutual respect for one-another, more so after Davin heard his side of the story from the war. He too had lost contact with his crew after the eternal empire attacked and thrown him into prison. His own assassin droid eventually broke him out of prison and resumed his bounty hunting career, during which Lana convinced him to help her to rescue him and he along with Senya, Theron and Koth agreed to Davin becoming the commander of the Alliance.

"I figured you would be here." A familiar voice said. Davin looked up and saw Lana standing in the doorway of his quarters.

"Where else could I be?" He smiled at her as she walked towards him.

"Destroying a star fortress maybe?" She joked causing Davin to chuckle as she sat down next to him on the bed.

They both sat in silence for a while with Lana looking at him, slightly frowning as his face turned to the floor and the expression on his face started to worried her. They both had been through rough times but things where starting to look better with his rescue from Zakuul and the formation of the alliance.

"You look.. troubled, conflicted." She said, Davin darted his eyes away from her, avoiding her gaze.

"What?" She pressed, taking his hand in hers. Giving it a comforting squeeze and reached her hand out to his face, turning it to hers.

"I just feel like I can't make a difference sometimes." He admitted. "Like the choices I make don't change everything like you said."

"You have, look around you Davin. You are making a difference, especially for me." Lana pointed out.

"Thanks Lana." He smiled.

"Your welcome." She smiled, shifting closer to him. They both enjoyed the comfortable silence as sat on the bed, Davin felt that her fingers where intertwining his and he smiled before squeezing it softly, brushing his thumb against her hand.

"I have a gift for you." He spoke, unable to hide the excitement.

"What?" She frowned at him.

"You heard me, here." He presented her a wrapped in package. She looked at him frowning before taking it, she slowly opened it and her a large smile spread across her face as she looked at the book.

"A hard-pressed book, Studies of the Force." She read out loud. "Thank you."

"You're welcome Lana." He smiled before she planted a kiss on his cheek. He turned his to hers and their faces almost touched.

Blushing as she noticed the close proximity they both where in, she looked away. Opening the book she held in her hands, seeing the first page of it and touching the old paper caused a smile to form on her lips. Hard-pressed books where a rare commodity these days, most books are now only on data-pads or the holonet. On the former she would usually and unbeknownst to Davin write poetry with her favourite mixture of tea and bourbon before going to sleep.

"Much different than a data-pad, right?" Davin commented.

"Yeah, it doesn't blind you when you open it at night." She smiled, scooting closer to him.

"I sure doesn't." Davin murmured as she settled her head on his shoulder and he rested his arm on her back, kissing her forehead. He inhaled deeply and the scent of her shampoo relaxed his mind somewhat.

"Your shampoo smells nice." He chuckled softly, he could her laugh from his comment. "It's always the same."

"It's Rominaria flower shampoo." She pointed out, as she read the first page.

"I like it." He smiled, rubbing her back slowly. "Should I read it for you?"

"How long can we stay here before they miss us?"

"We've got plenty of time."

Hope you like it, let me know if you want more and don't forget to review.

May the force be with you
