STAR WARS ONESHOTS

(Poe) Tentative kisses in the dark

a/n: this is looong. 3k words. sorry ;)

"C'mon!" Poe shouted out, making the group laugh. You'd decided to have a small 'night off', sitting around the cantina with a beer in hand.

There was always so much going on, so Poe had insisted you'd all 'relax' and shovel back some beers.

It was fun to relax, or to be as close to relaxed as you ever could be in the resistance. But the beer took the edge off, no matter how terrible it tasted, plus everyone around you seemed to be in a light enough mood for it to rub off on you- especially Poe.

"O-Okay then, Finn, what's the first thing you're gonna do when it's all over?" Poe asked with a hazy smile, probably slightly more intoxicated than the rest of the table.

He'd almost definitely made it past the two beer recommendation, though you could be sure he'd still be able to jump in an x-wing in a minute if it was needed.

You all looked to Finn, wide eyes on his face at the question. "I don't know! You think I know anything past this war?"

He laughed a little and shrugged, leaving you, Rey and a few others giving Poe a look, but you all laughed too. Bad example, Dameron.

"See! Nobody else has thought about it. What are you planning on doing then, Dameron?" Rey insisted, still chuckling, waiting for his reply as she took a swig of her beer.

She seemed to be knocking it back as easily as Poe did, but you'd ask her about that another time.

Poe had been clamouring about how everyone should have some big plan of what they're gonna do as soon as the war is over. You all disagreed, maybe it was a pessimistic thing, like you weren't sure you'd all survive the war.

Mostly for you, you didn't have a clue what you'd do without the resistance. They were your family. You couldn't imagine slipping off in an x-wing as soon as it was all finished.

"Easy." He said with the biggest and cockiest smile, and you shook your head at him when he made eye contact with you. "I'm gonna give every single one of you the biggest kiss of your life."

You all laughed and protested immediately, to which he shrugged and took another sip of his drink.

"That's no big plan! That's you finding an excuse to snog.." Rey nudged you when she saw you were busy eyeing Poe, narrowing your eyes at him playfully.

"Hey!" You called to Rey, turning to her immediately and lightly hitting her arm. "Don't bring me into this! Just cause Poe can't keep it in his pants."

Poe's eyes widened. "No way Jos-Rey. I don't need an excuse to kiss anyone." He smirked at himself, but you shook your head at him when he eventually turned to you.

There was nothing going on between you and Poe, but everyone was pretty convinced there was. You'd been the first person he met in the resistance and your best friend status was pretty much solidified, but anything more than that was up in the air.

You harboured a crush on him, not that you ever planned on acting on it. You didn't even think about it most of the time, too busy fighting or hanging out with everyone.

Occasionally you'd catch a glimpse of him from some angle, or he'd have a particularly bright smile on his face, and then your feelings would pop up.

Sometimes he'd look at you, locking eyes, and you were sure the same thoughts you had ran through his mind. You were just too busy.

"What are you shaking your head at?" Poe asked, smiling at you playfully.

"You're not going anywhere near my lips." You shook your head at him again, holding back a smile when he gave you an offended look.
