"You know, you need to be more careful with yourself," you say as you patch up Din's arm. Usually, he would dress up his own wounds, but ever since you joined him on his ship, you've done so much for him and Grogu.
"Yeah, well, it's nothing," he doesn't look directly at you and instead looks to Grogu. "As long as the kid is okay." You give him a soft smile. It's so sweet that he cares about Grogu so much.
"Well, still, you need to be more careful," you sweetly scold. He turns even more away from you. His pouting is cute. "I think you're all set." You leave him to his thoughts as you check up on Grogu. He watches as you check the little guy for injuries. Grogu fusses happily as you help him with any damages he has. He's okay, though. Din always makes sure that he's protected.
"So-" before Din can even speak, you interrupt him.
"What do you guys want for dinner?" you ask while looking to both Grogu and Din. "Some soup with some krill?" Grogu giggles happily. You look to Din for confirmation.
"Sure, that sounds fine," he says and looks away from you again.
"You wanna help me?" you pick up Grogu in your arms and go to the ship's tiny kitchen. You set little Grogu on a chair as you cook for him and Din. Din watches you as you cook and occasionally feed Grogu some taste tests. When you're finally done cooking, you hand everyone their soup.
"Thank you," Din says as he takes his bowl from you.
"Okay, little Grogu, time for us to eat in the other room," you say to Grogu. "We gotta let Din eat, okay?" So you and Grogu go off so that Din can remove his helmet comfortably. He thinks about how you've been with him and Grogu for some time now. You happen to just join him on his adventures with Grogu, and you've been helping him raise Grogu. So he's truthfully grateful to you. You being around has been the greatest thing for him and Grogu. He never really thought about anyone romantically, considering he's been alone for most of his life, but with you, it's different. But like a child, he gets nervous around you and can barely think straight. After all these thoughts, he removes his helmet and begins eating the soup you made. It's warm, just like you.
After eating, you knocked on the hatch door that had Din inside. You wanted to make sure that he was ready for you to enter. You call out his name, and he says you're alright to come in. You do so and see him sitting in a chair go over some maps.
"I put Grogu to bed, so I'm probably gonna turn in myself, you know, cause of the long day," you say. He doesn't seem to look at you before he answers.
"Thank you, make sure to get some good rest," he talks as if it's muscle memory.
"Right, I'll see you tomorrow," you begin walking to your quarters.
"See you tomorrow," he repeats, still looking at the maps. And with that, you head to bed.
Din thinks of a way to show his appreciation of everything you do as you sleep. What would you like? What do you like? What's the best way to convey how he feels? He's not exactly the best with feelings, but he wants to let you know how much he cares about you. So the entire night is dedicated to him trying to figure out what to get you, and right before you and Grogu wake up...he figures out the perfect gift.
You and Din agree that you need to stop somewhere for some supplies the next day. You found a planet with a small outdoor bazaar with many different things. You went off by yourself to get food and drinks for the ships while Grogu stayed with Din. Din takes the opportunity to look for something for you. Din looks to find a stand with a bunch of jewelry. You like that stuff, right? He's seen you admit necklaces and such before, but he's not entirely sure as to what to get you. He's looking through all the beautiful things but can't find anything that he thinks you'll like. Grogu has been teething on one specific necklace for quite some time. Pretty much the entire ordeal. Eventually, Grogu holds out the necklace so that Din can see it. It's silver with a charm that looks similar to Din's clan insignia. It's perfect. Din takes it with surprise and gratefulness as little Grogu gives Din a slight smile. Din purchases quickly and wraps it up, and meets back up with you at the ship.
"Did you get everything you need?" you ask cheerfully. Din and Grogu look at one another before he answers you.
"Yes, I did," he responds.
"That's good," you say, and you all enter the ship.
While on the ship, Din keeps messing around with the gift in his hands, wondering how he'll give it to you. He's the most anxious he's ever been. So, to combat this, Grogu grabs it from him and gives it to you without thinking. You gasp in utter delight.
"Did you get this for me?" you ask, and little Grogu shakes his head. "No? Then who did?" Little Grogu points to Din.
"Oh, jeez," Din mumbles.
"This is from you?" you look at Din hopefully.
"Yeah, I got it for you as thanks for everything you've done," he explains. Grogu laughs and shakes his head.
"Huh?" you utter.
"Seriously, kid? Who's side are you on?" Din asks. "Okay, Y/N, it's not just a thank you gift. It's also a gift to convey how I feel about you." You open the gift to find the necklace.
"Oh, it's so beautiful. Thank you," you gush.
"Of course, you are a part of our little clan if you want to be," he says.
"Really? I would love that," you say.
"As would I," he replies.
