I used to ride monsters....
“So yeah… guess why I came here to talk to you is…”
Boba was getting choked, his resolve fading by each ticking moment he stood there, trying to tell Din how he really felt for the Mandalorian.
But Boba also knew what, or rather whom he wanted. And Boba, wanted Din. The Mandalorian bounty hunter having woken up feelings in the Daimyo he had not felt since… Well it was a long time ago Boba had had any kind of lovey-dovey emotions and sensations that much was true!
And right now, all those feelings were overwhelming the strong leader of Mos Espa.
Especially when Din had proven himself a worthy catch over and over again during their encounters, a sort of a friendship forming between the two.
And right now, Din was standing right there, in the shadows, leaning against something… something big?
What the???
They were both on Mandalore at the moment. The invitation form Bo Katan to mend fences with Boba himself now that Mandalore was reunited again under the two rulers, Bo and the Armourer. The married couple having been able to get all Mandalorians to follow their lead that much was true. Then able to make their home world thrive again not to mention establishing both old and new connections with other worlds as well.
Boba gasped in surprise, seeing what really stood there, behind Din. He truly was in awe right now.
“Boba, do you wish to ride him?”
Boba looked shocked and surprised, but both emotions were in a good way.
“Him?”
“Yeah. The Mythosaur.”
Din moved into the light. As did a very large head as well, the rest of the body still in the shadows even if Boba was able to see the size of the beastie.
“Mhpf…”
Was all Boba managed as he stood there, frozen in his footfalls as he gawked in awe at the very large beast of a thing. But most of all, he was gawking at Din. In a good way.
“You ride… him?”
“Yeah…hehe, I do. But only after Grogu befriended him.”
Boba moved closer, the Mythosaur staring him, but sensing no malice or hostility present there at all, he dared to step even closer.
“It’s okay. You can touch him.” Din assured Boba seeing the hesitation there.
“He’s… gorgeous.”
“That, he is.” Din chuckled, being reminded of his own reaction when Grogu had found the monster.
Boba petted the beat, getting a lick of an approval from the animal.
Turning to Din, seeing the smile there on his friend’s face.
“You really think I can ride him?”
“Yeah. And if you’re scared, you can ride with me.”
“Scared.”
Din chuckled.
“I know you’re not. And I know you’ve ridden beasties as big as this, Boba.”
Boba too was smiling now, his tall tales clearly having stuck to Din it seemed.
“I would very much like to take up on that offer, Din.”
“Come on then. It’s a perfect moonlight night for a beastie ride, my friend.”
Friend, well, guess that could change soon.
The romance clearly in the air on this eve.
Boba though, was feeling a tad more secure in his pursuit for Din and he would talk about it too. But after their moonlight ride on the beastie they both clearly adored.
