Sorry it took ma awhile! I was on a confirmation trip. We left on Valentine's Day and got back on Monday. I got lots of pretty pictures! Anyway, on to the story! Btw, Dick is the last of an alien race, he's not human. If you want to know what his alien features look like look up "Rin Okumura".
"Yes, of course! After we were split apart, I was caught and sold to a new "master," Dick responded, smiling sadly.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry. I- I should have tried to get back to you harder!," Ezra said as he embraced the thirteen year old.
The rest of the crew looked shocked, their jaws open wide. It was hard for them to believe that there was someone else that Ezra trusted. But it pegged the question if he really, truly trusted them. Questions flooded their minds. Did he trust them? Who is this mysterious kid? Why was Ezra hugging him?
"It's okay, Ezra. I know that you tried hard. I trust you," Dick said softly.
"How do you know that?" Ezra questioned, pulling back just enough to look Dick in the eyes.
"I know because I know you, Ezra Bridger. You're kind, compassionate, caring, you put others first, and you hide things from others," Dick responded laughing.
Ezra was amazed that Dick remembered that much about him. He couldn't get thoughts of Dick out of his head, even after he joined the crew. They were family, friends, and, once upon a time, lovers. Ezra missed the hugs, the jokes, the time they spent alone, the love, and all the small moments they had.
"I've missed you. More than you can possibly know," Dick said.
Dick leaned in to Ezra's embrace, his eyes soft. He looked up at Ezra and slowly leaned in to kiss him. Ezra kissed him softly. It lasted a couple seconds before they pulled apart and embraced each other in a hug once again. They pulled apart blushing when someone cleared their throat.
"So... How do you two know each other?" Kanan asked.
"Well, I used to be one of the "slaves" that you can buy here. It was only for two, maybe three, years. Dick and I were bought by the same person and that;s how we met. The last year that I was a "slave", Dick and I had planned to escape. I managed to make it to a space ship that was headed back to Lothal, but Dick didn't. I tried to get back to him, but I couldn't. I'm sorry, Dick" Ezra said.
"That's okay," Dick replied.
"I have a question now. What does "slave" and "master" mean?" Sabine asked.
Dick and Ezra locked eyes. You could clearly see the hesitance that they held.
"By "slave" they mean exactly that, same for "master". It's a sexual term here, so yeah. Ezra and I were used for sex by anyone who wanted us. The person who bought was crazy. He sold our bodies to anyone willing to pay. He used us until we couldn't walk," Dick said.
"What!? That's crazy! Why would people do that?" Zeb said disgustedly.
"Oh, we know, but could we talk more back on the Ghost?" Ezra questioned.
'Sure. Let's go," Hera said.
"Thank you. Dick, do you have a new "master"? Ezra questioned, eyeing Dick up and down.
"Not really. I ran away. Are you guys a crew?" Dick asked.
"Yeah. We're apart of a rebel fleet against the Empire," Hera answered for them.
"Really? Cool. Could I possibly join this rebel fleet?"
"Can you fight?" Zeb asked.
Ezra laughed really hard- until Dick elbowed him in the ribs, that is. Dick looked at Zeb and then calmly walked over to him. He took Zeb's hand and flipped himover his shoulder and twisted his arm behind his back.
"We'll take that as a yes," Kanan said laughing.
Review make me happy! I'll be inspired for the next chapter. Please feel free to give me your honest opinion. If you have ideas that you'd like to see, tell me. Thanks. Loves and hugs!
