Luke was sullenly applying bacta to his bleeding knuckles when Leia came in. He was sitting in one of the staff lounge's, a medkit on the table in front of him.
Hey there slugger, she said, her eyes dark and wide. Luke smiled wryly.
Leia began, sitting prettily on the edge of the couch. it was wrong of us not to tell you. I regret it now. It's hard though... this new for both of us, being in a committed relationship-
So it is serious?
Serious as in we love each other very much. We've talked about marriage and kids and maybe eventually but for now... Leia smiled and a dreamy look passed over her face. We like where we are now. She looked up at him again. Still friends?
Were we ever not? Luke said, and hugged her. Now go on. Nurse Han back to health.
Leia laughed and hurried off.
Seriously, Princess. I'm fine!
Leia's head and shoulders dropped out from the ceiling and grinned at Han.
No you're not. You're all bruised up.
Sweetheart, I dragged myself for three kilometers of underbrush with a splint on my leg and a broken nose. I think I can handle a few bruises.
Leia's grin turned wicked as she said Let me just enjoy this, ok? She glances around the room. I can see why you like it up here. I feel so much bigger than everyone.
Han stood and walked to her. Nah. You're just small, he drawled and she punched him on the shoulder.
He howled. Come on, you deserved that, Leia laughed.
Hey, I happen to like nice ladies.
I'm a nice lady.
No you're not-
Com'ere, Cuddle Bear. Leia grabbed Han and kissed him quite soundly.
