Kylo

I sat across the room in my lounge chair, watching Rey sleep. She layed peacefully in my bed, her breathing steady. She pulled her arm out from under the covers, revealing her bandaged hand. It looked better. No swelling. I smiled.

Drinking in her peaceful features, I scooted my chair closer to her.

You're so beautiful. I dared to think to her, even though she couldn't hear me.

She began to stir; I could feel her being through the force.

"I could hear that, master," I could hear her whisper. I chuckled.

Rubbing her eyes, she sat up. She studied her surroundings and spoke.

"This isn't the med bay…" She noticed, sleepily. "Is this your room? Why am I here? Did I- no…" Her voice trailed off at her final thought. She looked over at me, her cheeks flushed red.

"No, the droid in the med bay dosed you up with some disinfectant ointment and pills. It said I could bring you back to your room, but I wasn't comfortable with you being disabled if you woke up, so I brought you back to my quarters. I… Hope you're fine with my judgement."

She smiled and nodded, understanding. "When do I have to change out the stuff on my hand?" She asked, waving her hand out for me to see.

"Soon, actually. You change it out every 5 hours. You've been out for almost 5 now."

She frowned. "That long? You could have just brought me back to my quarters if I was that much of a bother," she quickly said. Rushed over to her as she tried to stand up.

"No, you were fine. Just, don't hassle to move."

I lightly pushed her legs back to where they were. She rubbed her eyes again.

"Can't you just heal my hand like you did my foot?" She inquired. I shrugged.

"I could, I just wanted you to be awake first."

She raised an eyebrow. I rolled my eyes. I wasn't lying, but she knew something was up.

"You like carrying me in your arms, don't you?" She was on to me. She probably dug through my mind without mr even noticing.

I responded, trying to sound calm. "Perhaps. Or maybe I just enjoy the feeling of dominating over you."

She laughed at that. She knew I was joking.

"Uh-huh. Well, if you're so confident about your strength, heal my hand," she raised her hand again. I nodded, grabbing it. I knew it would be easier with the wrap off, so I unclipped the metal piece and started to carefully unwind it.

I meticulously unwrapped it, making sure not to rub against the wound. The wrap fell off easily and flooded to the floor. Closing my eyes I thought happy thoughts.

I thought about Rey's smile, how full of herself she was, and her wits. I instantly felt a rush of warmth run down into my fingers and flow to her hand.

The flesh healed itself, knitting together the broken skin and taking in the redness. I pulled my hands away, placing them in my lap.

Rey gaped open mouthed at her hand.

"I still don't get how you do that. You need to teach me," she exclaimed, flexing and clenching her hand back and forth.

Her amazement and admiration poured off her in waves. It wasn't much, but Rey saw it as everything. She looked up at me. She smiled.

"You like me, don't you?" I smirked, pushing a strand of black hair off my face.

"What told you that? Your mind reading power?" She beamed. On "mind reading power" she made quotation marks with her fingers.

"I've got some other tricks up my sleeve, besides, I'm the one teaching you, not the other way around," I reminded her.

"Like what? The power to make someone fall In love? Pfh! You wish!"

I made a daring move on that remark. I went in, grabbing the sides of her face quickly and mashing my lips against hers. Her eyes momentarily widened, but quickly closed. She must have enjoyed it; she didn't reel away.

I closed my eyes. Rey slightly pulled back for air, but came back for more. I lightly bit her upper lip. She squeaked.

The force radiated off of us like mad. I knew she had to feel my heartbeat by now. I could feel hers thumping faster than it ever had before.

"Ben," I muttered against her lips.

She pulled away slightly. "What?"

"Call me Ben." She nodded, bewildered.

"Ben. I- I like that," she smiled. "Do you hear that?"

I listened, hearing nothing unusual.

"What?" I asked.

"It's like a… A heartbeat."

She did hear it.

"That's mine. I got yours after the first time I healed you. It's… Kind of always there," I confessed. She tilted her head.

"Is that like a… Force thing?" I nodded.

"Force bond. It happens when two force users connect in some way. Some people think that my grandfather and his apprentice may have had a force bond. It's complicated," I told her. She sighed. She must have realized there was nothing she could do, so she replied cooly.

"Better get used to it, then. I'm gonna go back to my room then, if that's ok… Ben."

I okayed her to leave, especially after what just happened. She waved again as she walked out.

Her heartbeat was stronger than I had ever felt it.

Author's note: ah, finally. Reylo. It will just get better from here. Hope you enjoyed!
