After a moment, Rey sat up. Her eyes were still dry, though the conversation had left her a little exhausted. She her chair, intending to flop into bed and rest, but in the corner of her room still stood Kylo Ren.
She yelped and exclaimed, "You're still here?"
"I'm still here," Kylo Ren replied with a smile.
Trying to remember what all she had said during her conversation with General Organa, Rey could only sit in embarrassed silence.
"When I said I called off the attack and saved Poe for you, it was true. You are the reason I feel led back to the light."
This was an entirely unexpected announcement to Rey.
"I know you won't toy with my feelings. If you still feel the same as you did when I first told you of my feelings for you, tell me now. I only wish to tell you that my feelings have not changed, I still love you. If you still feel the same, though, I won't ever bring it up again."
Rey looked at her hands in embarrassment, and said in a quiet tone, "I don't feel the same."
With as much eloquence as anyone declaring their love could be expected to have, Rey told him how her feelings had changed, and how she was quite glad to accept his proposal this time. Kylo Ren wasn't able to express his happiness through words, though he tried, but Rey understood the change in his expression and manner enough to know that he had finally found what he had been looking for.
When a transporter from the First Order arrived at the Rebel base, Rey was at the hangar to meet it. So were almost all the Resistance fighters, because they didn't trust her or their transporter. When Kylo Ren stepped out, only General Organa's orders kept them from shooting.
Rey shouted, "Ben!" She ran toward him, and that confirmed all the fighters' suspicions.
With blasters pointed at their backs, the two were escorted to General Organa, who took in the scene with an air of resignation.
"What is going on?" she asked.
Ben stepped forward and bowed his head. "I've come to ask your forgiveness, Mother."
Leia stepped toward him, and Finn shouted, "NO!"
That didn't stop the reunion. To everyone's surprise, Kylo Ren didn't kill General Organa when she stepped forward to embrace him. Instead, he hugged her back.
(I don't even know where this is going; I was trying to get to where balance to the Force comes through Rey and Kylo but that is just not working and it's turning into a weird dramatic soap opera. I wrote this for the Darcy-style proposals anyway, so I succeeded in my goal. Feel free to write your own version bc I really want to read one that comes together better than mine ended up lol)
