Ben's proposal
I do not own Star Wars or any of it’s characters.
God deserves the glory for this story, for I know, without Him, I couldn’t write a word.
Rey was at the ceremony for the resistance. They had just won a major battle, and General Leia Organa wanted to award the heroes of that battle, including, Finn, Poe and Rey. Leia had given Rey an old dress of hers to wear because she wanted her to feel like she belonged, however, the general had another motive. Rey was standing there, in the beautiful white gown, when all of the sudden she felt the force begin to connect her with the one she did not want to see right now.
"Now, is not the time", she told him. However, when she looked up at him she saw that he had dropped the lightsaber he was previously holding and was now gaping like an idiot. His soft brown eyes hardened in anger as he shook his head.
"You have no right to wear that dress!" And, she had no right to look that gorgeous. Ren tried to shake those thoughts out his head. 'Don't even go there Ren.' He told himself. She's nothing. He sighed but she wasn't, she was everything to him and he knew it. Rey looked taken aback as she looked down at her dress. She shook her head as she looked up at him.
"It is not my fault you threw your own family away." He walked towards her. Is that how she thought of him still? He looked in her eyes, and knew despite her words, she saw the good in him.
"They threw me away " He admitted softly. "They threw me away and chose you." Rey's eyes widened and he knew he hurt her. She never meant to take his place. And, he couldn't blame his parents for loving her not when he knew that's how he felt about her. He shook his head. "Rey." Rey looked into his broken eyes.
"Ben, they didn't throw you away. Leia wants you to come home." Ben closed his eyes as he had a hard time believing it. Rey touched his hand. "I'll help you." She softly said just like she did in the elevator. Ben closed his eyes. He knew what he had to do. He reached out his hand in a submissive manner.
"Rey, join me, please." He asked in a submitting manner just like he did in the throne room. Rey's eyes widened.
"Ben, no. We've already been through this." Ben shook his head, not being able to stand her beauty.
"No, Rey, you don't understand." His voice cracked. "I'm utterly in love with you. Marry me, please."
