Was originally going to put this on hiatus as my forum leader dosnt like her forumites writing songfics but I think I came up with an excellent solution...let me know if it is an excellent solution.
Kylo Ren weighed his lightsaber in his hands as he headed back to his ship. True, San Tekka had died by his hand, but what could he do? He found some solace in knowing that Tekka would have died anyway. Even if he had turned over the map piece. No one could out hustle him.
Han Solo shook his head at Rey. For the past half hour he had been trying to convince her to stay away from Ren. "Sweetheart, Ben strayed from the path of the Jedi. Leave him alone, study with Luke, live your life. Stay away from him. Your a good girl. Don't let him drag you down too." She lowered her head and nodded.
Closing her eyes, she reached him through their shared bond. "Why did you try to kill Luke?" She asked bluntly. Ren's smile died. "They came after me first." He snapped. Grabbing her hand, he filled her mind with images. Luke standing over him, friends who once laughed with him wildly swinging their sabers in an attempt to murder him. Someone setting fire to the store room he had hidden in. Ben snatched his hand away cutting her off from his mind. "Rey, I never wanted to hurt you." He whispered in her ear. Her final thought before giving in to him for the first time was "this is the stupidest thing I've ever done."
Leia watched as Rey eagerly entered the Force bond. She was the only one who knew about her connection with Ben. As much as she loved her son, she knew the only thing that could come from it was heartbreak. The General hung her head and walked away sadly.
Pale skin and tan, moans, cries, and whispers. Kylo reclined in his bed while Rey dressed. "When are you going to give up that farce that calls it's self the Resistance?"
She ran a brush through her hair while thinking. She had no idea why she was so attracted to him honestly. Besides the obvious anyway. "Ben, the sex is great, but that's all it is. I have no idea why we have this bond, but for me that's all it is. Just physical. That's it!" She vanished curtly.
He smiled at the empty room. "Liar."
Rey was feeling guilty as she came back to a room that contained a crying woman. Leia silently pulled her into her arms. "I'm worried that one day you won't come back to us." She whispered.
Rey pulled herself away. "I always will. I promise." She kissed Leia's cheek. "I'm not giving up on him. Ever."
Rey stared him down through the swirling snow. "Your a monster!" She spat. "Why? Why kill Han? Your father?"
"Snoke said I had to."
"That's all it takes? Just telling you too? You have no conscience, do you?"
"None."
Ren lay in the snow, the cold burning him as surely as her saber had. He could see it in her eyes. Anger. Compassion. She turned and practically ran to the Falcon, Chewie following behind with a badly injured Finn in his arms.
She held her head with one hand and Finns with the other. Inside, she knew there was no redemption for Ben, but her aching head refused the fact. According to Leia, it had been Snoke that had turned Ben against everything. He had somehow tainted Ben's heart.
Rey blew out a pent up breath. Maybe she was just being stupid about the whole thing.
Leia smiled at Rey. She knew the girl had just returned from the arms of her lover. "Honey...I appreciate the fact that your trying to bring Ben back to the Light, but I at what cost? I don't want him back just to lose you. His love isn't worth it." Her heart broke even as she said the words, whether it was for Ben or Rey, she didn't know.
Rey shook her head vigorously. "No offense, General, but love is the last thing on my mind. We have fun together. That's it!" She pressed her fingertips into her temple. "You know, I just had this discussion with Ben. You two really are related."
Leia gave her a sad smile. "I just don't want to see you get hurt."
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Kylo trailed his fingers across the scar on his cheek. At first, he had hated her for it, now he wasn't so sure. A lucky charm, maybe? He remembered the words Hux had muttered behind his back earlier. "A slave is always grateful for anything given to them." Ren was still deciding on what to do with him.
Rey and Ben strode through the resistance hanger together. He was in awe of her. Back straight, chin up, she was acting as though she couldn't even hear the whispers. I don't care if he turned, I don't trust him. Someone caught him and Pava together in a storage room. That's OK. Have you heard about her and Poe?
She glanced at Ben out of the corner of her eye. He still walked as though he were expecting a blow to come out of nowhere. She twined her fingers with his. "I don't care what they say."
"I despise you!"
"Your lying to yourself."
There's nothing between us but sex!"
"Still lying."
Rey swung at Ben's face, her anger causing the intended blow to swing wildly. He caught her wrist gently and pulled her into a kiss. She didn't resist.
Happy tears coursed down Leia's face as she watched them dance at their wedding. Rey was right. I had nothing to worry about.
The Bride sat beside her Mother-in-law. "Love is the last thing on your mind?" The General teased.
Rey shrugged. "I can't deny it. I love him."
Sorry! I know Iv been gone forever but life caught me! My son caught a bug in school and then generously gave it to the whole family. That week was Hell! Then I lost inspiration for writing. I took a month of reading AO3 and watching the movie three times to get my butt in gear. Anywho, can anyone guess the song?
