The guards woke her in the morning. They were rough when they put the magnetic restraints on her wrists, but Rey didn't protest. Just when they were heading to the door it slid open and BB-8 rolled in.

Rey smiled at the welcome sight of the droid. "Hello."

BB-8 beeped and whistled.

"What are you doing here, BB-8?" asked one of the guards gently. "We need to take him to the med bay."

Booop.

"Calm down, it's just Hux."

BB-8 beeped indignantly.

Rey gulped. At least BB-8 did believe that she was his friend.

The guards led her out of the door. The droid followed them, beeping softly as if it wanted to comfort her. She was glad – the cold stares and the whispers that followed her made her anxious.

ooOOoo

The medic changed the bandages, Rey hissed in pain when the bacta was applied to the wound. Her back hurt a little. If she could have she would have shifted in a more comfortable position, but she was strapped down on a med bed.

The medic finished the treatment and scanned her from head to toe. He checked the read-outs and was about to call the guards to let them escort her back to her cell, when the door swooshed open.

Rey craned her neck to see who had entered. She sucked in her breath when she saw Finn. He chewed on his lower lip and gave her a nervous look.

Rey felt her heart leap and she tried her best not to grin like an idiot – or in Hux' case like a madman.

"I'll bring the prisoner back to the cell," said Finn and patted the side-arm he was wearing.

"Alright," replied the medic in a mildly bored voice. "Then I'll leave you to it."

The medic checked the scans one last time before he left.

For a couple of moments Rey and Finn just stared at each other. Rey took in his beautiful, compassionate eyes, his handsome features and his soft lips. She wanted to hug him so badly, feel his warmth like she had when they had embraced each other in the Starkiller base.

Finn's gaze was more guarded. He seemed to look for something.

"Rey?"

"Yes," she answered, painfully aware of his frown.

"Is this really you?" His voice sounded brittle.

"I'm afraid so."

Finn leaned down to her, reaching out with his hand, but in the last moment he retracted it and took a step back. Rey felt an iron grip around her heart.

"I'm sorry-" chocked Finn. "I can't."

He deactivated the restraints and Rey sat up on the med bed. She sniffled.

"Come on, I'll escort you back to the cell."

Rey just nodded and got up. Finn grabbed her on upper arm and led her out of the med bay. Finn's warm hand felt good, it gave her a secure feeling. They walked down the corridor. She felt again the anger and the fear emanating from the people they encountered on their way. She missed BB-8. A lump formed in her throat.

When they had reached the cell Finn gestured her to step inside. Rey gulped in a vain attempt to get rid of the lump and held her arm where Finn had grabbed her. She already missed his touch.

"Finn-"

"J-just go in."

She gulped again. "Just once, hold me just once. That's all I'm asking." She wanted to add 'Don't leave me alone', but her voice failed.

Finn's eyes widened, then he averted his gaze.

Rey pressed her lips together and turned to step into the cell.

"Wait," said Finn so quietly that Rey almost didn't hear it.

He stepped closer and pulled her haltingly in an awkward hug. Rey froze at first, but then she returned the embrace and buried her face in Finn's shoulder. She smelled his scent, a faint taste of caf, soap and fuel and sighed. For a moment she felt calm and happy, but then she slowly realised that something was off. Finn's hug was stiff, detached. She on the other hand pressed him against her with all the might, desperate, scared. She stood awkwardly hunched, since she couldn't simply rest her head on his shoulder anymore due to the height difference. Slowly she let go and straightened herself. Only now she realised that he was about a head smaller than her.

She wiped across her face. "Thank you."

His mouth twitched. "It's really you, isn't it?"

He lifted his right hand and cupped her face. She closed her eyes when she felt him brush against her cheek.

"We'll fix this," said Finn. "You don't have to stay that way."

Her eyes fluttered open, she blinked and made an effort to smile. "Of course we will fix it." There was a strange feeling in her stomach. She felt unwell.

ooOOoo

She was just about to eat her dinner, some kind of bland hotpot with flatbread when the man with the curly hair entered.

He glanced at the tray with the food on it. "Do you mind company?"

"No," Rey said and continued to eat.

He pulled up a chair and sat backwards on it, crossing his arms on the top of the backrest. He cleared his throat but didn't say anything.

Rey eyed him but remained silent. Was this another attempt to interrogate her?

"Usually I'm good at this," he said.

Rey blinked and put her spoon back into the hotpot. "At what?"

"Talking."

"Really?"

He scratched the back of his head. "It's just- I'm Commander Poe Dameron."

So this was the pilot that Finn had fled with from the Order? She put the tray with the food away. "Hi, Poe. I'm Rey."

"So I'm told," he retorted dryly.

Rey frowned. "Wasn't I supposed to introduce myself?"

He sighed. "I'm sorry … My go-to move is to be a sarcastic dork when I'm a little overwhelmed." He gave her a bright smile. "Pleased to meet you Rey."

She returned the smile. "Pleased to meet you too."

For a moment it seemed that Poe blushed, but surely the shimmering Force-field between them had played a trick on her eyes.

"To be candid I'm here because Finn believes you." He inhaled. "He is my friend and I was worried about him-"

"So you came here to check me out?" interrupted Rey.

He gave her another smile. "Yes. But honestly … your smile told me everything I needed to know."

Rey blinked in surprise. "My smile?"

"Hux could never smile like that, all he ever could manage is a smirk. And of course there is the fact that you saved Finn and Rose."

She got up and stepped closer to Poe. "You don't have to worry about Finn."

Poe scanned her from head to toe. "You can use the Force?" It was more a statement than a question.

"Yes."

"So you could get our here any time you wanted?"

"I think so, but I honestly haven't thought about it." Rey ran a hand through her hair. "All I want is to convince everybody that I'm Rey. And of course to make Finn happy."

Poe smiled again. "That's what I wanted to hear." He got up from the chair. "I wish you the best."

Rey felt that he meant it and a warm feeling spread out in her chest. "Thank you."

ooOOoo

That night Rey dreamed of Ahch-To. Once again she ran up to the peak, desperate to get there. When she finally arrived it wasn't Luke who was waiting for her – it was Finn. He smiled at her, the way he had smiled at her when they had escaped with the Falcon. His beautiful dark eyes beamed and he laughed from the bottom of his heart. Rey rushed to him, happy to see him.

Finn embraced her, they held each other firmly. Rey buried her face in his shoulder, feeling his warmth made her gasp a little. She smelled his scent, her heartbeat quickened. She placed a soft peck on his neck and Finn loosened his grip. She took a small step back and cupped his cheek with her right hand. Their faces were but centimetres away, Rey set her sights on his soft, inviting lips and she felt her arousal growing. Slowly she leant in and kissed him, his lips tasted of sea salt. Their kiss turned quickly deeper, driven by their need for each other. He let his hands wander over her back down to her ass caressing her all the way. She moaned and mirrored his movements, feeling the heat increasing.

Suddenly they were in the dark cave beneath Ahch-To. Finn pressed her against the cool wall, covering her neck with hot kisses, she closed her eyes to enjoy the sensations fully, groaning loudly. Rey opened her eyes again and stared at the wall behind Finn, the stone turned into ice and finally it turned into a mirror. She saw herself being caressed by Finn. Her red hair had fallen in her face, almost covering her blue-green eyes. Finn's hand finally reached her crotch and squeezed the huge bulge in her pants softly. Rey bit her lips to muffle her moans and closed her eyes for another short moment. When she opened them again she flinched when she saw in the reflection that Finn was now holding and caressing a dark-haired woman.

With a gasp Rey jerked up in her bed. She panted and felt hot, a split second later she realised that it had been nothing but a dream. She exhaled and let herself fall back into the bunk. She thought that she could still feel Finn's hands on her body, taste the salt on his lips. The very thought made her bite her lips, she reached up and brushed her lips with the tips of her fingers. A soft moan escaped her lips, it didn't nothing to dispel the heat inside her.

Only now she realised that her cock felt strange; she brushed it hesitantly with her left hand and gasped as a wave of pleasure rolled through her body. She grabbed it with a firmer grip and squirmed while moaning. Her cock was hart, but it felt completely different from the erection she had experienced before: It was throbbing, feeling very full and hot, her pants were uncomfortably thigh.

She quickly shed her clothes and grabbed the cock. Imagines of Finn kissing her resurfaced and Rey bit her lips while she starting to slide up and down. She imagined how it was Finn's hand that gave her pleasure, she panted and moaned loudly. After a few hurried strokes she came with a gasp, squirting hot cum all over her naked stomach.

ooOOoo

Rey washed herself with a towel at the small washbasin, she felt relaxed and very satisfied, less on edge. She looked up and studied her face in the mirror. She noticed that the dark bags under her eyes were gone. There was a light reddish-blond stubble covering her jaw. It made her look like one of the charming smugglers that had occasionally visited Jakku. She actually looked nice, healthy. She ran her hand through her mussed up hair and smiled a little.

She checked the bandage, the bacta was obviously working. The pain had receded and the wound had healed quite a bit. She felt good, comfortable – she was back with the resistance and there was no doubt that she could sooner or later talk to Luke. Rey blushed a bit when she remembered Finn's hug.

Yes, things were looking up.
