Summary: Being stranded on a freezing planet never looked more appealing.
Your crush on the Mandalorian was so evident after some time, you didn't even hide it. There was no need.
You got easily and visibly jealous whenever a woman flirted with him or looked at him a way you saw as being flirtatious.
The fact that the Mandalorian went along with your behaviour surprised you, but by now, you were used to it.
The two of you have been travelling together for a long time now. And since the first day, your crush on the mysterious man was evident. The way you behaved, stuttered whenever he was close gave it away easily.
You just wondered why he didn't seem to mind that you acted like you were his girlfriend. Not that you minded of course.
But the unsaid words between you were certainly something you did like. What you did like however was that he let you hold his hand, wrap his arm around you or hug him whenever you felt like it.
And this time, it was the exact same.
After getting stranded on a planet made out of ice due to a fuse blowing on the Crest, you were forced to spend the night.
Mando said he will fix the ship tomorrow when there is light. You nodded and looked for blankets. Blankets for the Little One and for you.
Once Mado assessed the damage, he came back to join you.
"I will fix it in the morning, it's really dark outside," he said after he pulled the makeshift curtain back so the cold wouldn't get in too much.
"I gathered blankets and got the Child some food, we will be fine, but I think we will have to sleep in your bunker since the door can be locked there."
He only gave you a nod and moved his toolbox back to its place.
Once everything was in its place, the three of you moved to his bunker for a good night sleep.
Grogu cuddled to the Mandalorian's side while you laid your head and arm on his chest. Mando was holding you close to himself. Although his armour was cold against your skin, you still didn't want to leave his side. You were way too comfortable and you felt safe.
Safe, something you only felt when you were with him. The galaxy was a cold place but you found warmth next to him.
Then you heard the Child's small snores, it made you giggle.
"He's just too cute," you whispered as you looked down at him. Mando didn't move or reply, you thought he already fell asleep but then he moved a little, pulling you closer a little, his other hand on Grogu's back.
"You're too cute." he said and at first you thought you were only dreaming. But no, he really said that.
"Mando, what are we?" you couldn't take it anymore you needed to know.
"Hmm?"
"What are we? Because friends don't cuddle the way that we do. Friends don't get jealous. What am I to you?"
"Well, you take care of the Kid don't you?" your heart sank. After all this time, after all you have done for him, he saw you as a nanny. A babysitter and nothing more.
You wanted to cry and yell at the same time. But not at him. You were too naïve, it was your fault that you thought he wanted more, that he saw you more than just someone who helps with the Kid. You felt stupid.
You sat up and looked around. Then you stood up.
"Where are you going?" he asked but you opened the door and then closed it behind you, not bothering to give him an answer.
It was cold, very cold on the ship. But the pain in your heart was worse. You sat on a box, trying to calm down. The cold did help with your anxiety a little.
You heard the door hiss open, but you didn't move.
"What are you doing?" came his voice.
"I'm just...I'm stupid."
"What are you talking about?" he knelt down in front of you.
"I-I thought you would see me more than just a babysitter for the Child. I'm silly, I know."
"That's what this is about? You didn't let me finish. You take care of the Kid, yes, but you also take care of me. You keep this ship clean, you make me food and you respect my creed. You kick the asses of the annoying women and sometimes even men that I meet. You were supposed to only take care of the Kid and nothing more, yet you do all these things and at night you come to my side to sleep. I thought that I will need to keep you safe, but in reality, you keep me safe from going insane. Call me sentimental but I see you much more than a crew member, a friend or even a girlfriend. You are like a wife to me." he was sure thankful for the helmet, his face was showing so many emotions. But yours was too.
You looked so happy and relieved. You got on your knees and moved to him, hugging him close. He started running his hand up and down your back.
"I love you, Mando."
Your heart rate picked up, saying those words.
"Din Djarin. My name is Din Djarin." he said as you pulled back to look at him, you smiled at him.
"Din." you tested the name, "I like it." you rested your forehead against his helmet then a shiver ran down your spine.
"Let's get you back to sleep, it's cold out here."
You didn't need to be told twice, you were quick to stand and rushed to get the Kid and finally sleep. You put him on his Dad's chest and you got back to the same position as you were before.
Din never felt more happiness in his life. Finally admitting his feelings and you saying those words meant a lot for him.
Because of those unspoken words, he nearly lost you, but now, you were there with him again.
