Man,this is like a side dish of cheese. Some stuff that refers to the Jedi academy and stuff later is inspired by What She's Worth by g_girl143 on Archive of Our Own.


Kylo's POV:

I felt something more than anger. Rage. Sadness. Fear. Longing. I stood up and began running. This isn't good, I have to find her.

Thank goodness for the Force. She was still running. I caught her in my arms.

"No! Stop! Let go of me!"

She was thrashing at me and kicking out.

"Rey stop! Calm down. Look at me!"

She stopped moving and looked into my eyes before slowly dropping to the ground, with me holding her. We were both on our knees. She burst into tears.

"All those years... I lost all those years.. And those students... They didn't deserve.."

She choked out every word.

"I know."

She looked up at me. "Ben!"

She threw her arms around my neck and pet my hair.

"I missed you! I missed you so much."

"It is you," I whispered once more.

I held her tightly into me. This was my Rey from so long ago. The little girl I had to leave, screaming for me to stay with her.

She held my face in both her hands.

"I missed you, Ben."

Once I realized who she was and felt the Bond, I knew I couldn't let her go.


Rey's POV:

"Ben?"

He was asleep again. His head was on my lap. This must be nice for him to get some sleep for once. I moved the hair out of his face and stroked his hair.

"I see you two have been spending more time together than I'd hope."

I tensed up. Luke took my memories from me. I have every right to be upset.

"Rey, the First Order was after you. Ben took the place that no one should've taken."

I looked down at him. He didn't get sleep back then either.

I felt tears come up but I was so tired of crying.

"I can't do this anymore," I whispered.

"What?"

"I can't kill him. I can't be your student anymore if I have to do that."

Luke stepped up next to us. "Sometimes we have to face our demons-"

I felt his eyes on me.

"Wait a minute. Don't tell me you're in love with him."

I didn't answer.

"Rey-"

"I didn't say anything."

"You can't fall in love with him, you're going to be a Jedi, Rey! It's impossible."

I closed my eyes. For as long as I've lived, nothing has come across as impossible.

I stayed silent until he walked away.

I didn't think becoming a Jedi would be this hard.
