I Think I Love You (Cara Dune x Reader)

Work Song - Hozier

You've been on the ship for a while now. It's been mostly quite aside from the gentle white noise of the pitch black emptiness that you know as space. Fett has opened the large circular door that was dividing the cockpit and the rest of the ship. "I did an initial scan on the planet. This is what you're talking about right?" He asks Mayfield. A semi transparent hologram of a large rectangular building floats above the control panel. "Yeah. That's the refinery right there," Mayfield says.

"Wonder what they're refining in there," Fennec says, glancing over at Mayfield. "Looks like rhydonium. Highly volatile and explosive," Fett tells her. "Yeah. Kinda like this one huh?" Mayfield says jokingly, gesturing to Cara. No one laughs. You clear your throat awkwardly. Cara just purses her lips. "They have anti-aircraft cannons protecting it," Fett continues. "And a platoon of security forces," Fennec adds. "So we go in quiet. Let's go get a closer look," mando says.

You've found a spot on a cliff, overlooking a path which leads into a tunnel. Large vehicles pass through occasionally. "I'm not gonna need long inside so once I get the coordinates, you guys gotta get me the hell out of there," mayfield says. "You get to the roof, I'll drop in and pull you out," Fett tells him. "All right. Mayfield and I will swap out for the drivers in the tunnel," Cara says. "As much as I'd like to take a road trip with rebel-dropper here that's not gonna work," he says.

"Oh yeah? Why's that?" Cara asks. "Well, because these Remnant bases are set up and run by ex-ISB. If you get scanned and your genetic signature shows up on any New Republic register you're gonna be detected and then it's guns out," he explains. "You sure do know a lot about Imperial Remnants," You say. "If you wanna accuse me of something then just say it," mayfield says. "We don't have time for this. Fennec will go," mando says.

"No, I'm wanted by the ISB. I'll trip the alarm too," she says. "Y/N what about you?" Mando asks. "I'd love to but unfortunately when I was seventeen I-," Mando sighs with annoyance. "Fett?" He asks, interrupting you. "Let's just say they might recognize my face," he says. "Great. So it's me going in alone," Mayfield says. "No way. The minute he gets inside he'll tip em off. He'll be a hero," Cara argues.

"Hey this wasn't my idea. I'm doin you guys a favor," mayfield says defensively. "Deals off. I'm taking him back," Cara says. "I'll go," Mando announces. Mayfield looks at him like he's crazy. "Hey buddy I may be good at fast talking, but I don't think I can explain away a guy in a Mando suit to Imperial guards. So unless you're gonna take off that helmet, it's gonna be me going in alone. Or say goodbye to your little green friend," mayfield says. "You're not going alone. I'm coming with you," Mando tells him. Everyone looks at Mando surprised. "But I won't be showing my face," Mando says.

You wait silently for one of the large automobiles to approach. You ready yourself as one comes near. Once the vehicle is close to the opening of the tunnel you, Cara, and everyone else drop down onto the top of it. Cara opens the hatch before jumping inside. You hear a few cracks and yells before it's covered up by the screeching of the vehicle coming to a stop. You help Cara remove the armor from the men, giving it to Mando and Mayfield. Mando walks off to go change into his new armor.

"Oh my god this guy reeked," mayfield complains. "Respectfully, shut it," you say. You turn your head as you hear footsteps. It's Mando. "Look at this. Oh, the shame," mayfield chuckles. "Now that right there is worth the price of admission," mayfield says. Cara looks Mando up and down. "Wish I could say it looked good on you, but I'd be lying," she tells him.

"Just make sure you take out the rooftop gunners, or we're never getting out of here," Mando says. "We got you," you tell him. "Take care of this. Keep it safe," Mando says to Cara as he hands her his armor. "I will," she says quietly. "Hey guys, still on the clock," mayfield says. "What would they say on Mandalore," Mayfield says, laughing to himself.

"You know it's a shame you're not coming along with us. You've got such a sunny disposition. Can't imagine how fun you are on one of these," Mayfield says to Cara. You chuckle. She punches your arm lightly. Mayfield starts up the vehicle before driving away."Phase one, complete. We're in," Fennec says into comms. "Copy. Standing by," Fett responds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You sit atop a ledge, located high on one of the hills surrounding the road. No one speaks. Fennec watches over the road. Fetts doing whatever he does a few feet away from her. Cara sits next to you, waiting on edge for something to happen. "So... what do we do until they need us?" You ask.

"I dunno. You tell me," Cara says. "We could tell each other our deepest and most brooding secrets," you suggest. Cara laughs before leaning over and giving you a peck. You see a cloud of orange fire explode in the distance. "What the fuck was that?!" You say.

You walk over to Fennec, taking her binoculars and looking through them. "Pirates. Tons of them," fennec says. "Cara get over here this doesn't look too good," you say. Mando is laying down on the top of the vehicle. Maybe 20 pirates are closing in on him.

Cara and Fennec raise their blasters, pointing them at the pirates. Mando attempts to get up slowly. As Cara and Fennec prepare to shoot, four TIE fighters swoop in. Green lazers surround the vehicle. After a moment, it emerges from a grey smoke cloud. "They're in," you say with a smile.

I have no fucking clue how I'm gonna end this... I'm sure I'll think of something. Moving forward, someone added my story to a collection called dyke and I don't think y'all know how much I love that as the raging lesbian I am. To the person who did that ily and you're amazing.
