Feelings (Din Djarin x Reader)

Summary: Din gets angry at you for being reckless, but after some harsh words if he wants to have you back by his side, he will have to admit to his true feelings.

You were very aware of what you had just done. You put yourself in the way of danger only to save a woman. You were aware of how stupid it must have looked. But to you, all it was is that you saved someone's life. You saved a woman, a wife, a mother. And when her children and husband thanked you, you were proud of yourself. Extremely proud that you did something good.

However, the Mandolorian clearly thought otherwise. As he was currently raising his voice at you, calling you irresponsible and reckless, borderline stupid. You could handle his insults, but then he said that one thing he should have never.

"I knew I shouldn't have brought you with myself!"

He was clearly not thinking, or he forgot the situation you were in before he saved you. You were about to be sold off as a slave, beaten up, broken and starving when the Mandalorian saved you and took you in as Grogu's caretaker. So, to you what he just said meant that he regretted saving you and he would rather have you as a slave of a disgusting being than having you on his ship by his side.

Your mind went blank, but one sentence left your mouth before you ran off the Crest and into the nearby forest.

"And I knew I shouldn't have fallen in love with you." it was barely above a whisper but you knew he heard you since he fell silent and his body language changed.

You heard Grogu making unhappy noises as you left. Yet you needed to get away, you couldn't cry in front of Mando.

You didn't walk away very far. Since it was late at night and you weren't familiar with the planet.

You just sat there on a log as you cried for what felt like hours. You blamed yourself for falling in love with him, but your heart was screaming at you to go back to him.

Then you heard the footsteps and the recognizable sound of beskar. Your back was to him, but you didn't move. You didn't want to acknowledge his presence.

"Y/N, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those things to you. I just lost my cool. Seeing you put yourself in danger was too much for me. I don't regret saving you, of course, I don't."

"I know it would be difficult to find a new caretaker for Grogu, but you cannot say that to me! Did you forget how miserable my life was? However, Grogu and you gave my life a new purpose."

"I will never forget the state you were in, cyar'ika." he said recalling as he found you in chains, cold and filled with bruises. You were even afraid of him, sometimes his heart still stops whenever you flinch as he makes a small movement. "But it is not Grogu who I need you for." he was making no sense. You slowly turned at looked at him standing behind you. "I need you as well, maybe even more than the kid does. What I'm trying to say is... please don't regret your feelings for me."

You could guess what he was trying to say. Your heart raced but this time it wasn't due to anger.

"I need you to say it, Mando." you told him as you stood up. "Please, so I can know that this is not a dream." he took a step closer to you, hovering over you as you were looking at his chest plate then up at his helmet.

"I love you." it was quiet, but you heard it, he said it with such a hushed voice, as if he was afraid that others might hear. That the planet might explode under your feet if he said those words any louder. "I want to protect you with all my life, and seeing you run into danger made me see red. I shouldn't have yelled, called you names, or lied to you. I love you and I need you."

You took a deep breath, not because you needed the time to think, you wanted him to think that you were thinking. You didn't want to make this easy for him. He hurt you and although he apologized he will need to know that you won't just go running back into his arms, even if that is what you wanted to do.

After a few more seconds of silence, you hugged him. Although his armour was cold, you didn't mind as his arms found their way around you.

"Promise me that you will never say something like that. No matter if you mean it or not."

"I promise, cyar'ika. If you promise that you won't make me worry."

"You know I cannot promise you that. But I can promise you that I will not run face-first into danger without giving you a warning." you said, finally smiling.

"I'll take that." he said pulling you closer if that was possible. "It was very nice of you though. You saved her, I saw when her kids thanked you, crying their eyes out. You are a true hero, cyar'ika."

"Hmm. I love you too." you said suddenly feeling sleepy.

You walked back to the ship and found Grogu waiting there for you, you lifted him and headed into the cockpit so you could finally leave this planet.

You were happy that Mando admitted his feelings, and you did too. You knew he had many other walls built around his heart, but you were ready to destroy every last one of them and get to fully know him.
