Sleep Baby Sleep

One thing is true about Ben Solo aka Kylo Ren and Rey of Jakku. They don't sleep much.

Sleep is synonym of nightmares for Ben, sleep is the threat of danger and death for Rey. They don't sleep because they're afraid of the loneliness of the night.

Rey remembers all the nights in Jakku when she fought against herself to not close her eyes, because sleeping in this stupid desert planet meant danger. To be robbed, to be attacked, or worst. But for Rey it meant mostly loneliness because in the dark when no sound can be heard in miles around her, she falls apart. She trembles and cries against the little arm of her doll, she wraps her head in her knees. She prays to receive any sign of her family. But they will never come back.

Ben knows all the tastes of the night. Sweet when he was asleep on his mother's arms after a nightmare. Hopeful when Luke pulls up the blanket against his teenage body and looks to her like she was everything. Bittersweet when Leia told him the adventures of Han Solo, but his father was not in him. Dangerous when he heard the voice of Snoke. Painful when he remembers the screams of his father after he sliced him with his lightsaber. Loneliness when it's only him and his own voice, the echo of a lost boy.

So, when the Force united them in the bond, they thank it in silence because they're not alone in the dark anymore. They didn't speak the first time that they saw each other in their respective beds: tired with dark circles under their eyes and their weakness surrounded them. They didn't speak the other time.

Always the same script, they look at each other and the one who needs crucial sleep hides himself under his blanket when the other keeps a close eye in the loneliness of space waiting for another nightmare. With no words, they became the night-guards of each other.

Sleep baby sleep, what are you waiting for?

Those moments of force were not during all nights, only when the pain was too strong, when to be crowded with people is not enough to cover their solitude, when they need their presence united in the same place. Without a sound they heal each other. Sometimes a "Thank you" is pronounced in the night.

Maybe someday they will be tired of not speaking, to not say all the things they think of each other but for tonight they play their role. Ben needs to sleep, so Rey keeps her eyes on him maybe tomorrow the opposite will happen.

But they know in the morning after a night without nightmares thanks to the other presence, the bond will be broken, and the loneliness will come-back. But meanwhile they are here for each other. Not the new Jedi, not the new supreme leader of the first order.

Only Ben and Rey in perfect harmony in a fight against their own demons. Together.

The Beauty of this mess is that it brings me close to you.
