i think rey would cry if poe cooked her something that’s native to his home world.
#a true thing about me…..#is that i spend 90% of my free time thinking about poe and rey meetin#its like …. legitimatelly …..#one of the only thigns that i care about#not even in a romo way but like high key: in a romo way#consider: poe and rey hanging out over finns bed#while he’s unconscious#rey hums little songs she made up and then after she’s stopped a few hours later poe gets the humming bug too#and anyway of course that ends to them teaching each other songs and he pulls out his space guitar and she smiles at him#the Full Force Daisy Ridley Smile#and poe spends the next week standing in front of his mirror every night and pointing his finger at himself and sternly saying NO.#NO.#NO .#he fashions her a necklace out of wood from yavin 4#and has to brush her hair away so he can put it on her#she grabs his hand first bc idk she’s So Sad abt finn#finds him one night reliving the horror of ben solo poking around in his brain etc#guilt abt the village or w/e#she sings him the song he taught her#stumbles over the space spanish#anyway both of them no DOUBT begin to feel some guilt bc there finn is#in a medically induced coma#and here they are#falling asleep on each others shoulders#(rey is warming up to hand holding)#poe showing her around an xwing and jessika making so many suggestive faces @ him that he points at her sternly & mouths CALLATE#rey: what?#poe: what?#rey: did you say something?#poe: what? no buddy!
there were more tags and tumblr CUT THEM OFF @ tumblr the fuck, anyway its out in the open now and the point is that eventually she has to leave, and when she leaves she says “take care of finn” but also “take care of yourself” bc she’s seen his dark nights and they aren’t good, aren’t what he deserves, and then when she finally comes BACK well of course finn & poe have had months and months to settle in w/e its very gross, anyway she comes back and she and finn bounce off one another and collide and spark and run to each other across the tarmac fly into each others arms etc, but poe has an old soul and something in rey is ancient, so after a long moment of finn she turns around & she and poe simply fold themselves around each other right there in front of the general & everyone
bc w finn there’s the loud ecstatic outpouring of love and joy but w poe rey finds something quieter, w poe rey has silence, bc poe is still like a lake in the jungle of yavin 4, a lake in the jungle beneath the moons, and finn is the of course the bubbling noise of the water
anyway! NOT that i have thought about this at length
