"YOU KISSED HIM?"

Leia felt her face heat up. She hadn't wanted to confide in Luke, not yet anyway but he'd been bugging her all day, asking why she was smiling so much.

"Luke! Keep your voice down." Leia looked around the library nervously, there was no one in sight but she was sure the whole school would've heard her brother shout and she didn't want her personal life advertised.

"I was so right though wasn't I? You always liked him. Oh you owe me! Remember we bet on it?" He was grinning from ear to ear and Leia rolled her eyes at his comment.

"YOU bet on it…I hung up on you." She reminded him, but he continued to beam.

"Whatever, pay up sis." Luke held out a hand teasingly and Leia shoved him hard with the physics book she was holding. Luke yelped in mock pain.

"HEY why so violent? You'd think a bit of romance would calm you down." Luke said with a wink and then added curiously. "So when you gonna see him again?"

Leia furrowed her brow. They hadn't actually discussed that minor detail. They'd exchanged numbers when they parted but mostly they'd been…otherwise occupied.

"I don't know Luke…soon I guess."

Luke nodded, thinking for a while.

"Are you guys official yet or is it just casual?" He asked.

The question threw Leia off-guard, she hadn't thought about that. She suddenly began to panic. Were they official? Did making out with someone all night mean you were dating them? Leia wasn't sure; she had very little experience with guys.

"I-I'm not sure…" Her voice quivered with worry and Luke sensed her unease. He offered her a reassuring smile.

"He's totally into you Leia."

Leia thought about Han then, they way he'd acted around her for the past few weeks, the way he looked at her, the way his lips felt on hers. She smiled to herself nodding in agreement.

"I know."

Luke watched his sister's eyes go dreamy like women in rom-coms and he grinned. "Annnd you have it bad for him! This is so exciting."

Luke was practically bouncing and Leia snorted at his enthusiasm. You'd have thought he was the one in a new relationship…well uh whatever this was.

"Why are you so excited anyway?" She queried.

"Well I've never seen you this happy with anyone before and he seems to like you a lot. I just want you to be happy." He admitted genuinely and Leia felt touched. It was true that she hadn't felt this way before and although it did scare her it also thrilled her, to have so much to lose.

"Well thank you baby brother." She replied fondly, and giggled when Luke's face darkened. She knew how much he hated being called a baby.

"FOR THE LAST TIME WE'RE TWINS." He snapped and received a 'Shh' from the librarian who had materialized behind them. Leia tried to contain her laughter but failed and she dragged Luke out of the Library sharpish.

When the two of them had calmed themselves, Leia nudged Luke.

"Hey we need to set you up with someone next."

"Me? Nah…" Luke looked down shyly and Leia's eyes twinkled. It was her turn the play the interfering sister role.

"Is there someone?"

Luke immediatly flushed.

"No… why?" he stuttered. (Aha!) Leia grinned.

"Whatever you say… If there is someone I'll find out." She threatened lightheartedly.

Luke mumbled some excuse about class and bustled off but not before Leia caught sight of his beetroot red face.

Two could play at this game.

….

Han had been just about to fall asleep when he heard the buzz of his phone on his nightstand. Confused he looked at the screen and immediatly his face softened when he saw it was Leia. He'd debated whether to call her or not today. Mostly because they'd spent most of the night together yesterday and he didn't want to seem over eager. Even though he was, he totally was.

"Hey sweetheart, what a surprise." He said when he answered the phone. There was a short pause before she spoke.

"Hi Han." She sounded nervous, maybe even a little upset and he sat up, concerned.

"Anything the matter?"

"No…well I mean yes but…uh…I-" She paused and he heard her swallow hard.

His immediate thought was that she was going to say that last night had been a mistake and she didn't really like him. He knew he wasn't good enough for her. She was young, intelligent, and beautiful and he owned a low budget animal shelter.

"Yes?" His heart raced and he swallowed hard anticipating her answer.

"Are we dating?" She suddenly blurted and for a moment Han was so stunned he was lost for words. At last he chuckled, partly because she sounded so het up, mostly from relief.

"Uh I thought that was obvious Princess." In fact he'd been a little worried about the same thing himself but he would never admit that to Leia. He heard her sigh with relief but then she began to blurt again.

"Oh well ok…good…I mean it's just we didn't actually say we were girlfriend and boyfriend…oh wait are we girlfriend and boyfriend?"

She'd said it all in one breath and Han found himself chuckling at the sound of Leia ramble on. She always seemed so in control and sure of herself and it was adorable that she was showing her vulnerable side to him.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He asked as casually as he could, he hoped that she did and that was why she was so nervous.

"I…" Leia paused and then as she spoke again her voice lowered to almost a whisper. "Yes. I do."

Han's heart soared and he threw his fist into the air. "Then that settles it."

"Just like that?" She asked with a hint of amusement in her voice.

"Just like that." Han smiled fondly. He suddenly realized he hadn't called someone his girlfriend in all his life. Yeah he'd had dates but none of them amounted to anything. He'd always said he wasn't a one-girl guy, but he felt differently with Leia. He wanted to be only hers.

"Uhm Han?" Leia's voice pulled Han out of his thoughts.

"Yeah?"

There was another pause before Leia finally asked shyly:

"Do you wanna go on a date?"
