Re: Fill : 23rd Meteor Street (15/17)

[(Anonymous)]

He winced as he heard Rey coming behind him.

“Finn” she said gravely. He turned around to look at her. She was holding her smartphone in her hand, providing some light. Her traits were still twisted in anger. Finn was sure she was going to kill him.

“My God, you’re such an idiot, Finn. Wake up! You’re an adult, in love with someone who loves you back. Why the fuck did you decide to friendzone the shit out of him? Just give me one fucking good reason and I leave you alone.”

Finn swallowed hard. “It was the right thing to do.”

“How?”

“I told you. He could be doing something stupid, like fuck up his whole career.”

“How about you stop for a second to try and decide for the rest of the world, Finn?” She was hissing at him, and Finn was almost sure she was shaking with anger.

Why did she care, a little voice asked in Finn’s head, and the voice grew louder and louder, and it was Finn’s turn to shake with anger. She didn’t understand, he thought. She didn’t know Poe like Finn knew him, how stupidly selfless he could act sometimes. She didn’t even know Finn like Finn knew himself. She didn’t know that Poe deserved better than some young, inexperienced virgin that had never managed so far to make a real friendship last, let alone a romantic relationship.

“Why do you care so much?” he groaned at her. “I’m a fucking idiot. Why don’t you let me be a fucking idiot in peace? I do what I want and I do what I think is right.”

“Because the last time someone in my life left me because it was the right to do, Finn-” she answered, her voice breaking, “I was fucking five and it was my dad leaving me at a friend’s place in a godforsaken hole in the New Mexico desert.”

Her whole body was shaking, tears rolling down her face. “I never saw him again. He thought he would be a bad role model for me, Aunt Leia told me, once. But I don’t care. I just wish I had a choice in the matter, you know? And yeah, you can say that I was too young to really understand. It was for the best probably that I ended up with Aunt Leia and Ben instead. But Poe’s a grown-up, Finn. He can figure out things for himself, and whatever his decision may be, you need to fucking respect it. And you need to lay your cards on the table, and stop lying or hiding your feelings. If you keep doing it, I don’t think I can be your friend anymore.”

“I’m so sorry” was all Finn managed to blurt out.

“Yeah, nice, thank you Finn, never heard that one before” she mumbled, wiping off the tears from her with her arm.

He reached out to her, arms open, and hugged her tightly against his chest. She let out a little scream of surprise, and Finn almost expected her to fight back. She stood very still in his arms instead, before lowering her own arms to pass them behind Finn’s back.

“I’m so sorry for being such an idiot” Finn said softly.

“Well, you’re an idiot all right” she answered. “I’m an idiot, too. Didn’t mean to pull the problematic dad card on you.” She sniffed loudly.

“It’s cool. You just needed to vent.”

“Yeah.” She pulled out of the hug, wiping the remainder of her tears. “So what are you going to do?”

“I don’t know” he answered sheepishly, and she gave him an elbow kick in
the ribs.

“Stop staying you don’t know! Think!” she ordered.

“It’s- what if he gets mad at me for only like, confessing to him when he’s about to leave?”

“First, you’d deserve it. Second, judging by the way he looks at you when you’re in the room, I don’t think he can stay mad at you for long.”

Finn conceded that it wasn’t really Poe’s type to hold grudges, unless you were an irremediable douche, like piano guy. He raised his forearms and clenched his fist. “I’m ready, now, Rey. I’m going to tell him how I feel.”

“Wait” Rey said, looking down at her phone. “You just friendzoned him about ten minutes ago.”

“So?”

“I’m receiving texts from Jessika and… he’s still reeling from it.” She bit her lip. “And he still has to finish his show, you know.”

Finn’s stomach emitted a loud groan. “And you can’t confess with an empty belly", Rey added.

“What’s your plan, then?”

“You tell him when he comes home.”

Finn nodded. “Okay. I’m trusting you on this.”

She chuckled. “Second confession of the evening: I don’t have much more experience in relationships than you.”

Finn’s eyes widened. “What? How? I mean, you’re like, really cute, and you have a great personality, and you know how to do a bunch of stuff.”

“Well, you know, I didn’t know what to do with myself. Who I wanted to be. I thought it would be better if I didn’t involve other people in my life before I figured myself out.”

“Oh. Okay. I can understand that.”

“So, we’re going or what?” she asked, hands on her waist.

“Right behind you, Rey.”

The drizzle had started falling back again during their way back to the apartment. Rey had wrapped her hair in a towel, and was looking at the content of Finn and Poe’s fridge, pouting.

“Errr, I guess we can make grilled cheese sandwiches?”

The power of a hot meal on the human soul was incredible, Finn thought later, as he was eating his third sandwich. He was objectively having the worst evening of his life. He might have lost the love and the friendship of his roommate, and he almost lost the friendship and loyalty of his best friend. Yet, he was feeling strangely relaxed.

“I don’t deserve you” Finn declared to Rey after swallowing his bite.

“Because of my amazing cooking and baking skills?” Rey asked. She had cut a piece of her sandwich and was tearing it away very slowly, careful not to break the cheese strings.

“That too, but for sticking out with me, mostly.”

“I told you, we’re both idiots, we need to stick together to survive.” She carefully turned her fork around, putting the piece in her mouth. The cheese strings broke and fell on her chin. Finn burst out laughing.

“That was a terrible idea” Rey commented with a grin, before removing the strings.

They made quick work out of the dishes, and Rey was heating up a saucepan full of milk. She opened the cupboard, taking out a jar of honey and powdered ginger. Finn watched curiously as she poured some ginger in the steaming milk, stirring for a few minutes. She then grabbed two mugs in another cupboard, and divided the milk between them.

“What’s this?” Finn finally asked, as Rey was mixing some honey in her mug.

“Aunt Leia’s Non-Alcoholic Cure for Everything.” She put her mug on the coffee table, sat down on the couch. BB-8 put its front legs on the couch, blinking at Rey. “Come here, you cute baby” Rey said in a high-pitched voice, and grabbed the dog. BB-8 put its head on Rey’s thigh, sniffing out the aroma of Rey’s drink.

Finn put some honey on his mug, and sat down next to BB-8.

“So what do we do now?” Finn asked before getting a taste of the beverage. It was pretty tasty, a good balance between the sweetness of the honey and the heat of the ginger.

“Now our watch begins, Finn” Rey declared solemnly. She put her mug on the table, and yawned loudly. “You take the first watch. All these emotions and confessions have killed me.” She removed her boots, wrapping her legs under herself.

“Roger that, Captain” Finn replied, as Rey closed her eyes.
