Ben and Rey were hauled off General Hux's ship once they had landed inside the hanger bay on Hux's Star Destroyer. They were both placed into a holding cell and watched as the Stormtroopers locked the blast door behind them. Thankfully their binders had been removed for the time being. There was a beat as Ben and Rey stood listening to the fading footsteps of the Stormtroopers walking away. As soon as they stopped, Ben rushed forward to Rey and pulled her into his arms. They held each other close as they stood in the middle of the holding cell. Ben could feel Rey shuddering and squeezed her gently.
"I'm sorry, Rey. I'm so so sorry," he whispered, his voice catching as he tried to hold in tears. Rey squeezed him back and held him close. She pulled back slightly to look at the man before her. Her eyes locked onto his as her hand rested against his cheek. All her life she thought she was alone. She had been waiting for her family to come back for her. But the man holding her was the family she had been waiting for. Rey smiled gently as she stroked his cheek softly.
"Ben, I'm not sorry and neither should you be. We were meant to find each other. It was only a matter of time. I just wish we had found each other sooner and that…that…we had…more…" Rey began. She trembled as she watched Ben turn his face to kiss the palm of her hand tenderly before leaning forward and pressing his lips against hers. They melted into the kiss and held onto each other tightly. When they pulled apart for air, Ben rested his forehead against Rey's.
"…time," he finished, brushing his lips against hers. Rey trembled at his words knowing he could feel her thoughts and emotions so clearly through their special bond. She kissed him back and hugged him as tightly as she could, not wanting to let him go for a single moment. Ben nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck, hugging her back just as firmly.
"We will have more time, I promise," he whispered, kissing the exposed skin of her neck and making Rey sigh. They moved over to the lone cot protruding from the wall and settled onto it together, never letting go.
