    Summary

    Leia hasn't seen Alderaanian braids like these in ages, but the real surprise is who wove them into Rey's hair.

    ----------------

    Towel still draped over his face, the man paired his silence with almost inhuman stillness, as if he were listening intently. She’d never been as adept at reading the Force as Luke, but even she could perceive how it quivered around them. Was he Force-sensitive too?

    Rey’s hand snaked out lightning-quick and circled the span of his wrist.

    “It’s okay,” she murmured as if calming a skittish animal. “It’s okay. Don’t go. I’ve—I’ve already told her everything.” She stole a glance at Leia, lower lip caught between her teeth. “Well, almost everything.”

    Summary

    “There’s no shame in it, by the way,” Ben murmurs over his shoulder, the barest hit of teasing creeping back in along the edges of his low voice. An unmistakable downward dip of his eyes that she does not understand nor wish to analyse.

    “What?” Rey mutters quietly, feeling as though all the fight has left her mind and body.

    “Not knowing certain things… and needing a teacher.”

     

    (In which Rey tries to navigate her new life on the Resistance’s base while the newly-defected Ben Solo makes himself the bane of her existence)

    Summary

    "I guess–" She doesn't know why she keeps talking – maybe it's the wine loosening her tongue, or maybe she wants Ben to know, she can't tell. She only knows it's surprisingly easy, trusting him with her deepest secrets. "I never had someone to take care of me, and that's what I miss the most. What I want out of a relationship. Feeling like there's someone who cares about me".

    -- or: Rey misses the little things of a relationship that make her feel like there's someone who cares about her. Her best friend Ben listens.
