Anybody could see Rey was something special. The first new Jedi in years, a skilled Force user already. She's tenacious, smart, immensely gifted. She's the greatest thing to happen to the Resistance since Poe, and everyone loves her. Finn is no exception.
But to Finn, she's not just the Chosen One, she's his best friend. She's funny, she's sweet, she has the best laugh. She's unsure about many touches, but loves hugs from Finn and Poe. She's scared she's going to let the side down, and she hates the green mush the mess makes. She's so painfully human, and Finn loves her.
He thought he might be able to fall for her once upon a time, that he might look at her one day and see everything he's ever wanted looking right back at him. Instead, he’s found himself falling into a big brother role, wanting to protect her, comfort her, be there with no expectations when she needs a shoulder to cry on. And she does, she's not infallible, she's so young, and has so much on her shoulders, and sometimes she just needs to be held by someone who knows Rey, the girl, not the hero of the Resistance.
He's proud to be her friend, to be considered important by someone so brilliant. He'd be proud, even if she was just the scavenger girl from Jakku.
