Well, exam season is nigh at hand, so I don't know if I can maintain a weekly schedule... but here's the next chapter! Enjoy!

The rich aroma of rosemary and tomatoes filled the cozy apartment. The dining room table was equipped with two place settings and a delicious looking lasagna. Candles bathed the scene in a warm glow and the couple linked hands. They sat in the warm house and gazed into each other's eyes. Jazz played from the surround sound system, adding its seductive allure.

"You know, I think we could make things work. It'll be hard, but I think it'd work. It'll be alright," Poe said to his boyfriend. Finn nodded, his eyes almost making hearts as he gazed at Poe.

"Fuck!" came a shout from Rey's room. The two looked up from each other to see Rey opening her door and tossing the cat out. She looked from Finn to Poe and quickly shut her door, remembering the 'No interrupting dates unless you're dying' rule Finn had instilled.

Finn returned his attention to Poe and laughed. "You'll be in Florida and I'll be here, keeping Rey company. Unless Rey plans on moving in with Kylo, I don't see why I can't move in here when you leave," he said. Poe nodded.

It had begun while they were watching Leia speak before the Senate on C-SPAN. Rey had been dozing off and Poe had wondered how Finn would react to his readiness to leave Jakku. He did not want to leave Finn, but Finn was the one that had told him not to hold back and follow his dreams. Poe wanted to race, and with Finn's blessing, he had decided to venture forward with his new career. And as Leia was met with a standing ovation from the liberal side of the Senate, Poe and Finn agreed that Poe would leave to fulfill his dream while Finn stayed to continue working at Alliance.

"I'll fly back whenever I can," Poe said as Finn began clearing their dishes. "And maybe you and Rey can come by. I'll buy tickets to Disney World for everyone and we'll have a blast."

Finn chuckled from the kitchen, saying, "Don't get too ahead of yourself. You haven't even moved out, yet."

Poe grinned at his boyfriend and stood, blowing the candles out and picking up forks and knives. He walked over to Rey's door and knocked. "Rey, we're done. You can give me your dishes," he said.

The door opened and Rey stepped out, her plate and fork in her hand. "So, what's this I hear about Disney World?" she asked, her face elated. She wore a bathrobe over her pajamas and was rolling a lint brush over herself, collecting stray cat fur. Poe had almost forgotten about the thin walls their apartment had.

"Rey, I swear you and Poe get way too ahead of yourselves," Finn called out as he ran the sink. "Does the dishwasher work or did our dear, sweet Poe break that too?" he asked.

"It worked the last time I used it," Rey called out.

Poe stood back and looked at BB-8 as it trailed Rey into the kitchen. He would miss his two best friends once he left. He had hoped Rey would accept the offer of an internship from a small tech company in Daytona Beach, but she had stayed behind after Leia offered her a higher salary and full time job at Alliance. She and Finn would both stay and work for Leia while Poe would leave and support Alliance in the best way he could, by placing their symbol on the front hood of his car.

Finn stayed the night at Rey and Poe's place. Wearing one of Poe's t-shirts, he laid in bed as Poe brushed his teeth. He flipped through the book he had finished in DC and grinned when Poe slid under the covers. Finn pulled Poe close to him and pressed his forehead against Poe's. "I think date night was a success," Finn said and Poe nodded.

"It feels good to just stay in sometimes."

"Have you ever thought about getting married?" Finn asked. Poe's eyes opened and he smirked at Finn.

"This is new," he commented. "Are you proposing to me?" Poe immediately scanned his peripheral for a ring box, but Finn laughed, shaking his head against his pillow.

"No, not yet, but I wanted to know how you felt. We're still seniors, but we won't be in a few months and you're leaving soon. I feel like you're the one for me," Finn explained. Poe's spirits soared and he immediately kissed Finn.

"Well, I think you're the one for me as well. We'll think something out before I go," he said.

"That sounds alright," Finn yawned and shifted his arm so that Poe could use it as a pillow. "G'night, love," he murmured. Poe nestled his head against Finn's broad chest and nodded.

"Night."

"Night, lovebirds!" Rey called through the thin walls. She had heard everything from the living room and was grinning from ear to ear. "I'm Maid of Honor, right?" she asked. Finn and Poe both blushed but laughed at the same time.

"Of course! Goodnight!" Finn called back.

"Night, weirdo!" Poe chuckled.

Rey laid in bed and stared at the bright screen of her phone, reading the syllabus to see what was left of her class. She gnawed at her bottom lip and yawned.

The phone began buzzing and Rey smiled when she saw Kylo's name and picture appear. It was a candid shot she had managed to snag while he was yawning and Rey immediately pressed the "Answer Call" button.

"Hello," she murmured.

"Hi there," Kylo's deep voice responded. "Were you sleeping?"

"I was reading my syllabus," she said, shifting to her side. "What're you doing?"

"Nothing, really. Just pulling a late night and doing paperwork. I wanted to talk to you," he said and Rey chuckled softly.

"What kind of paperwork? It must be extremely boring if you have to resort to calling me," she joked, messing with a stray thread on the oversized shirt she had taken from Kylo's bag in D.C.

"Oh, yeah, you're just a little less boring than me taking someone to court," he said. Rey raised an eyebrow, pulling her covers over her shoulders.

"Court, huh? Did they spit in your coffee or trip you on your way to work?"

"Something like that. So, you got home safe? Nothing bad?" he asked.

"Yeah. BB-8 -Poe's cat- got sick on the ride home, so I had to clean cat puke off of my upholstery, but otherwise I got home fine. What about you? Jetting back soon?"

"Yeah, but I might go back a bit early to re-steal the sweatshirt you took from my bag," Kylo said, his voice filled with mirth. Rey's eyes widened and she looked down at the gray sweatshirt that nearly covered her knees.

"Are you going to sue me too?" she asked, breathing in the smell of Kylo's cologne from his shirt.

"Maybe. Or maybe I'll come home to see you in my shirt with nothing underneath," he said and Rey stifled a laugh.

"If it means me getting to keep your clothes, then absolutely. This thing is huge and super comfortable."

"Hey, I have to go- Hux and Phasma want to play a drinking game."

"What game?" Rey asked, her interest piqued.

"We play old speeches and interviews given by Mr. Snoke and take a shot every time he mentions something about First Order putting gas in cars or electricity in homes. Two shots for if he asks either Hux or me something." Rey stifled her laughter.

"Good luck staying sober. I'm going to sleep now."

"Night, Rey. I'll see you on Thursday," Kylo said.

"I'll see you on Thursday as well," Rey smiled. "Good night."
