"In one way or another, a part of Rey had been born before him and a part of her was terrified that she would be the first to die too."

'It killed him, the almost touching. It was like tilting one's head back during a hard rain and receiving no water. And the anticipation. Blast, the anticipation...Why couldn't he just forget her and move on' KyloXRey. Kylo agonizes over Rey's 'almost-touch'.

Ben has done everything he can to protect Rey from the First Order, but getting caught was never part of the plan. [Reylo] [ReyBen]

Inspired by some moments of The Last Jedi, here comes a Reylo one-shot set a couple years in the future, when Ben is already an established Supreme Leader and Rey visits him, seeking for peace. "-Do I bother? – she whispers. -Did you, ever? – he leans in and gently kisses her earlobe."

Reylo. Rey looks out into the night, filled with despair and loneliness. And the one man she should hate answers her with the peace she craves. Even if only for a few stolen moments. Minor spoilers for Last Jedi.
