Bed

He was a pure absolute wreck, not to mention his emotions were a swirl of uncertainty and perplexity. Again, he mindfully processed the situation presented in front of him and scanned the room only to make sure the situation was not something of his imagination.

Ben had come a long way from that "once upon a time" dark persona he once portrayed himself as. For no matter how hard he tried to consume himself into total darkness, that small spark of light within, would always find a way to shine. It was not all him though, it took another iridescent spark of light to lead him on the right path. Ben was all too thankful for that spark he came to know as Rey.

Rey, his dyad, his light, his everything, his…his girlfriend whom Ben found himself sharing a room with for the first time.

Meanwhile, Rey was all too busy to take notice of her boyfriend's confusion of the situation.

"Rey?" the dark-haired dyad questioned.

"Hmm?"

"There's…there's only one bed."

With war still raging on between The Resistance and First Order, Ben and Rey, known as two of the last Jedi, had been tasked to collect vital information that would help their cause. After the events on Exegol, only a month prior, Ben had given up pursuing his dreams of galaxy domination, only for the sake of Rey, his one and only love. The Resistance were not too welcoming as he entered the compound with Rey, but they knew if Rey had vouched for him, it was for a reason.

Presently, they had been tasked to travel to the planet Geus and infiltrate a secret First Order base Ben had intel on. Because of Ben's "kill at first sight" orders from his former regime, the dyads had to travel in pure secrecy and had come across a hotel to stay for the night.

"Did you," Ben continued, "ask for a two-bed suite?"

"Suite?" Rey asked as she kept studying the base's map Ben had drawn her for their mission. "I only asked for whatever room was available. We needed to get off the streets before we, you, were recognized."

"I won't do anything." Ben blurted out.

Rey stifled a laugh at her dyad's random statement and continued to study the map. Ben turned in Rey's direction and the thought that he had insulted her had left his perplexity of the bed in the past. "I didn't…I mean I don't want you to…don't get me wrong, you're…you're exceptionally attractive…beautiful features…your face… your head…perfect shape and…"

"Relax, Solo." Rey smiled. "It's not as if I haven't thought about it as well. Your…head is also a perfect shape."

Ben was now in an even more state of uncertainty. Rey had thought about them? In that sort of state? Together? With each other?

Ben deeply inhaled and exhaled and sat on the edge of the bed, gaining a creek from it, making Ben shoot up to stand once more.

"You okay there, Solo?" Rey smirked.

Ben cleared his throat and politely smiled at his dyad. "Yes, the bed it, um, is loud. Not ideal." Rey raised an eyebrow in his direction, as Ben examined the words he had just uttered. "Not that it has to be ideal for anything. Sleeping, it's not ideal for sleeping, I meant. Only sleeping…we are going to sleep…on this bed…together…small bed…for sleeping…in fact, why don't I start doing that."

Rey stood from the floor and made her way to Ben. She gently pushed Ben on the bed, making him sit on it, and again the bed creaked. Rey could feel Ben's swirl of emotions through their force bond, and as she placed her hand gently on his chest, she could feel Ben's heart beating at light speed.

"Relax, Ben." Rey said gently, trying to calm her dyad. "I know we only been officially together for a month and by this time most couples have, you know. When I said I have thought about it too, I was not lying." She felt Ben's heart race even further. "However, I know we will get there when we feel it's right. When we both feel ready." She planted a loving kiss on Ben's nose, smiled, and went back to her map.

Ben sat there in silence for so long, he did not notice the light piercing the room had gone, and streams of moonlight took its place.

"Do you sleep with your lightsaber?" Ben heard Rey though a clouded mind. Ben shook his head in response and quietly unhook his lightsaber from his waist and placed it on the small table next to the bed. "Your boots." Rey pointed down.

Ben's eyes met the floor and noticed Rey had taken her brown boots off. He slowly removed his black boots and felt Rey's weight behind him on the bed. "It must be three in the morning or so. Tomorrow we can sleep in a little and, if your data is correct, we can infiltrate in the late afternoon when most of the troops leave for training." With that said, Rey allowed herself to lay in the bed, wrapping the gray blankets tightly on her, while she exerted a big yawn.

Ben had taken off his jacket, and with another deep inhale, he met Rey on the bed. Slowly he lifted the blankets and as he slowly relaxed, he felt Rey's body heat near him. Ben closed his eyes and tried to think of anything else but the woman he loved next to him.

"You want to make out?" Rey asked after some silent minuets.

Ben's eyes shot opened, "WHAT!?"

Rey was now face to face with him. She scooted closer to him, placed his arm around her waist, afterwards, placed her own arm around his waist. "I'm kidding. I'm trying to help you relax." Rey knew what was on Ben's mind and confessed, "You make me nervous too."

"I do?" Ben questioned.

"Terrifyingly nervous."

Ben smiled at his girlfriend and gripped his hold on Rey tighter as if she would disappear any second. "Your…your hair smells nice."

"Ugh, it must look awful. It gets tangled after I take off my buns and I didn't bring a brush."

With that said, Ben gently ran his fingers through Rey's hair, combing out some tangles. "It's getting longer."

Rey placed her hand on Ben's own hair. "Yours too. Was there a beauty salon on that big ship or yours or did you have your own hairdresser for your hair needs."

Ben chuckled, "Yes, there was a salon but only one person dared to cut my hair. Everyone was terrified of me. One bad snip and who knows, Snoke's crazy protégé might just kill you."

"Too bad they didn't know he is this giant, caring tree."

"Tree? Since when has that been going around on the base."

Rey laughed at Ben's all too knowing response. "Don't get annoyed with me. Poe started it. He asked me once where the tree once and I was super confused until I realized he meant you."

"Ah, remind me to kill him next time I see him." Ben teased.

"Alright." Rey laughed, "I'll yell timber while you fall down on him and squish him to death."

Ben smirked and lightly positioned himself onto a laughing Rey. "I'll squish you first for that comment."

"I'm sorry," Rey continued laughing.

Ben's humor slightly left him as he was beguiled by Rey's laugh and near presence until suddenly, he found his mouth on hers. At first Rey was surprised by the assault but slowly began to reciprocate Ben's actions. Ben's wanting of Rey's happiness only to himself, drove him to kiss her with a fierce passion.

He licked her lower lip and eased his tongue into her. Rey welcomed his taste and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down closer. Softly, Ben bit Rey's lower lip, earning a small moan from her. Ben's lifted Rey's knee beside him and pressed himself further on her. Rey felt his wanting on his stomach and tangled her fingers in her dyad's hair, withered herself under him, desperately wanting to feel him. Soon, both desperate for air, they broke their kiss, panting, and both mesmerized with one another.

Ben's eyes pierced Rey's and he noticed she was truthful. There was lust in her eyes, and he wondered if she had always had that look whenever they would make out. Not able to recall, he closed his eyes and placed her hand on her cheek, invading her mind, not caring if she denied him. Only, what he had found was something else, something that made his body filled with desire. For in Rey's mind, the only thing being projected were images of the two exploring each other bodies with desperation, passion, lust, adoration, and love.

With a shaky breath, Ben opened his eyes, finding Rey questioning him for approval. There was no verbal exchange needed. His expression asked for confirmation while she withered once again under him and placed her heat right below his want. "Please." Rey whispered when Ben did not move.

Ben claimed her lips again, knowing she wanted this as much as he did.
