SUMMARY: *alternate universe* Bodhi and Reader smoke some Marcan herb as a way to forget about Yavin IV.
WARNINGS: PTSD, substance use (smoking), swearing
Bodhi watched intently as you put the joint to your lips. You felt the tiniest bit of peace as you blew out a cloud of smoke, feeling as if nothing was amiss, even though that was far from true. Even though you intellectually knew it wasn't a healthy coping strategy, smoking was pretty much the only way to take the sheer horror that was Yavin IV off of your mind.
"Want some?" you held your hand out to Bodhi, the joint sitting firmly between your fingers.
"No, I don't smoke." he almost sounded afraid of the herb.
"I didn't either before Scarif. Trust me, Bodhi. It'll help you."
After a moment of hesitation, Bodhi took the joint from your fingers and pressed it to his lips. He was never graceful when it came to trying new things, so of course he didn't inhale correctly and coughed out several tiny clouds as you tried your damndest to contain your laughter.
"Shit!" he said between coughs. "This stuff is fucking strong!"
"You didn't inhale properly." you teased him. "You have to do it slowly so it goes into your chest, not your throat."
At that, Bodhi heeded your instruction and inhaled the herb properly, allowing a sizable cloud to escape his lips.
"Better?" you asked.
"Whoa." was all he could say.
"You get used to it. In a few minutes, you're gonna be laughing at nothing and spouting useless facts no one is listening to."
Bodhi chuckled at your comment, not even realizing that his hand was resting on top of yours. The only good thing that happened during Yavin IV was you and Bodhi finally admitting that you love each other and sharing a kiss. Granted, it was in a rush of adrenaline and fearing for your lives. As soon as you noticed where his hand was, you felt a chill come over you.
"Is it cold here or am I just high?" you tightened your posture.
"Perhaps both?" Bodhi smiled, holding out an arm. "Come over here if you're cold."
You leaned into Bodhi, already starting to feel warmer as he wrapped his arms around you, pressing a kiss on your forehead every so often.
"Mmmm..." you purred as he started to play with your hair.
"Do you like that, Y/N?" you felt his chuckle vibrate against your body. "I love you."
"I love you too, Bodhi." you said as he put another kiss on your forehead.
