          Poe Dameron x Reader

   Tonight like any other night you couldn't sleep. Images of your closest friend murdering your twin sister at the temple continuously flashed behind your eyelids. You tossed and turned finally giving in you turn and face the wall. You sat up and threw your legs over the edge of the bed. Resting your elbows on your knees and burying your head in your hands. Feeling groggy you closed your eyes which was a mistake. Then you saw the deaths of your friends in the Resistance. Each one just as gruesome as the last, and you couldn't handle the sight anymore. You looked back to the wall and refused to close your eyes again.
   You were becoming frustrated you didn't understand. He had said he loved her, and he wanted to protect her, then he killed her like she was nothing. You were so lost in thought that you didn't hear the door to your room open. You didn't register anyone was infront of you, until the beautiful brown eyes belonging to your beloved appeared infront of you.
   "(Y/n)? (Y/n) are you okay baby?" Poe's eyes held heavy worry and concern. You let yourself do something you hadn't done since that night at the temple. You cried. Poe pulled you into his chest and you clung to him like he was the life force itself. He held one arm around your waist and the other held your head to his chest. Once you stopped crying is when you registered he was able to get you to lay down. You looked back up at him.
   "No I'm not okay. I can't stop seeing all of them die. All good people that didn't need to die for any reason just suddenly gone." You buried your face back into the crook in his neck.
   "You know I was once told the sometimes it's hard being that one that survives. However, that doesn't mean that their life was wasted. They fought for a cause so that people wouldn't have to die needlessly anymore. So that the people could be free from tyranny. You honor their memory by continuing that fight. In the end every sacrifice is worth it. Don't mourn your loss. Rejoice in the life they got to live, and pass on their memories to those around you." You smiled into his chest, and looked up at him.
   "Why is it that you always know the answers?" You looked at him lovingly.
   "I used to ask alot of questions." He quipped back at you with a slight smirk. "Alright I'm gonna go take a shower. Wanna join, maybe taking a nice warm shower will get your mind off of things?" You smiled and nodded.
   Before you knew it you were laying back down after taking a very refreshing shower. You snuggled into Poe's chest and he kissed the top of your head.
   "I love you, (Y/n)." You leaned up and kissed his lips.
   "I love you too, Poe." With that you were able to fall into a peaceful slumber thanks to the beautiful man next to you.
