Rey won’t look Poe in the eye when she refuses to practice x-wing maneuvers, and that really should have been the first hint for Finn.
The next day she ate lunch with Jessika Pava, waving off Finn’s offer to join him and Poe. She showed up at their shared quarters in the afternoon, saw that Poe was there, and ended up not staying.
On the third day of this behaviour, Poe asked Finn, “Should I apologize?”
“To who?” Finn replied, startling a bit. Poe’s shoulders were slumped, though he kept his hand on Finn’s.
“Rey, she’s - I think she’s mad at me about something. Has she talked to you about it?” Poe sighed when he saw the confusion on Finn’s face.
“I haven’t really spent a lot of time with her. Between helping out with training new recruits, and my time helping out in the infirmary, and spending time with you,” Finn paused to smile at Poe, “we haven’t spent a lot of time together.”
“Maybe she’s mad I’m stealing all your time? I don’t want to get between you and her. She’s important to you,” Poe says, linking his hand fully with Finn’s.
“I - oh. I hadn’t thought about that,” Finn said, then blinked and frowned.
“I don’t want her thinking she doesn’t matter to me just because we - uh - we’re - we’re together,” Finn continued.
“I’m sure she doesn’t think that - if she’s frowning at me she probably thinks I’m the reason you’re so hard to get alone.” Poe said, then leaned forward to kiss Finn’s frown away.
