Rebellion life came with all the things she could imagine. After a week or so the surprise that food was always at the ready if she needed it wore off, Rey's appetite even grew to combat Poe's. Her days were spent repairing the Falcon. It was hard to explain but it was the last thing she had of Han. Every so often she caught a glimpse of The General watching her hunkered on the hull of the ship, not so gracefully tearing off sheets in order to make the thing sturdy. The Falcon paled in comparison to the ships around her, but no one could deny the boost in morale it gave. The Falcon was a legend to the rebellion; and while it wasn't the best at fighting it was the best at reminding everyone what they were fighting for.
Rey wiped the grease off her forehead and went to meet Poe and Finn for dinner. She grabbed her trey filled with bright colors and textures. In that moment a small part of her missed the taste of portions- then once she scooped up something mashed with her finger, eating it up like a sloppy kid, all thoughts of portions were forgotten. She walked up to the table with a skip in her step, "How was your day?" They were both slouched over which made her think that something was wrong, "What happened? Did something happen in patrol?"
"No!" Poe scoffed and went back to his usual stature. He even brushed off his best to further prove that nothing was happening, only making his situation worse. "Why would you think that." Finn looked over with compelling eyes. Poe scoffed, "You two are the ones acting weird.
She didn't waste time and dug into her meal, looking back at the two of them. "Okay. But if there's something you want to tell me you can."
"There's nothing." Poe insisted.
The three of them started in on their dinners.
"Okay-" Poe put his fork down a few minutes later, "There is something. But we don't want to make anything weird."
She reluctantly put her fork down too, "You can tell me whatever you need to tell me." Rey looked at Finn, "Both of you can."
Finn looked over at Poe, "Go ahead. This is between you and yourself." He laughed.
Poe scratched the back of his neck and cracked his knuckles, "Finn and I… The two of us… Well… The thing is that we're.. We've been…" Poe put his hands down on the table and said really quickly, "Finn and I have been seeing each other, and we're really happy about it, but it's also a secret, and we just want you to know, because we don't like keeping a secret from you and we're friends and friends are open with each other and I'm really glad you're our friend and we don't want anything to change."
Rey swallowed her bite and put her fork down, "Poe!" her voice went up and she looked at Finn, "Finn! That's amazing. That's great."
Finn smiled and looked at Poe, and they shared a look of relief, and Rey couldn't believe that she didn't see it sooner. "See I told you."
Poe chuckled, "When friends get together it can… complicate things."
"Well I don't have much choice. I'm not trading you two in for something better because you're happy." Rey laughed. She reached over the table and took both of their hands, "Im happy too. I'm happy for both of you, from the bottom of my heart."
Poe sighed, "Good. Now with that I'm going to get dessert!" He stood up from the bench and walked to the counter.
A few moments of silence went by, then Rey punched Finn, "You Sly dog!"
They both erupted into the happiest fit of laughing the galaxy had ever seen.
