Luke's pov:

When I woke up that morning I was lying on something defiantly harder than a pillow. My eyes refused to open due to my exhaustion so I contemplated for a few moments what it could be. My head was pounding from all the drinks I had last night and my bare skin was cold.

Bare skin? I never slept shirtless. My eyes snapped open and I saw Han staring at me, "Mornin'." he smiled. I almost threw up.

I quickly threw off the covers rapidly shuffling back from him in a panic, "What are you- what is- what did we- ahh!" I exclaimed. Han seemed amused by my panic. "Did we seriously...?" I looked down. Yes we defiantly did.

"What do you think?" He asked smirking slightly.

I jumped up pacing around the room and pulling on my clothes as quickly as I could almost falling over, "Why did we- oh shit." My head began growing more and more painful.

"Well... we were drunk," he started explaining, "you were stressed, I was there and I give good-" but before he could finish that I threw my shirt at him to shut up.

I remember now. We were out celebrating and drinking... a lot. I remember unloading something that had been stressing me out and he was there to tell me everything was going to be alright. I remember us drunkenly stumbling up the stairs, I had something alcoholic in my hand but I can't remember the rest. And then there was... that.

"Oh fuck." I hissed putting my shirt ok. "Leia is never going to speak to me again. How are we meant to tell her?!" I asked.

"It's simple really." Han said calmly. Simple? How could something like this be simple. However, I was I intrigued to hear his solution. I cocked my head. "We don't tell her." He said finally.

"Don't- We can't do that! We went behind her back and betrayed her trust!" I exclaimed. Leia was never going to talk to me again, or kill me. No! Worse she would always give me the Leia look when she saw me.

"Okay look," he sat up, "You can be in Leia's bad books if you want but I don't want to." He held his hands up, "We didn't do anything wrong technically. We were both drunk, neither of us are attracted to each other and we don't intend to do it again. It was one mistake that's all." He said.

Not going to lie I was a bit hurt that he didn't find me attractive. However it's true, Jedi cant have attachments anyway so what's the point?

"I think your missing out the part where you slept with your fiancés brother on the night of your engagement party!" I exclaimed in horror as I realised what I had done. "I'm horrible! I'm a monster! Im a home wrecker!" I shouted.

He got up making his way over to me putting his hands on my shoulders. I didn't dare to look at him. "Look kid, you made one mistake. You didn't do any of this with malicious intent and neither did I. It was harmless fun. It was a little mistake. And now we never talk about it again." He said.

"Maybe your right... I just... she's my sister. I don't want to hurt her. Maybe its better to tell her before she finds out through other means." I said looking up at him.

He shook his head, "She wont find out. Everyone had too much too drink last night and mos eisly drinks are strong. I think we know."

I nodded, "But I feel awful lying to her." I was close to tears I felt awful.

"Your technically not lying. If she asked you about it and you said 'no I didn't fuck your fiancé" he did an awful (and almost insulting) impression of my voice, "then yes that would be a lie. But she's not going to ask about it so its not lying. It's just... the absence of truth."

"That's the definition of lying!" I shouted.

He waved hiss hands, "It sounds bad I know but it isn't I promise! We just made a mistake that isn't harmless and could possibly ruin my future marriage!" He said and my eyes widened in horror, "Shit sorry Im not helping! It's not a big deal I promise. Everything will be fine!"

I could tell he was also beginning to stress out. My emotions were all over the place. Most of me felt awful however a small part of me remembered how amazing last night was. His hands on my body, mine in his hair, small bites on my neck and the quiet yet overwhelming sounds. It was the best time of my life. I mean... I had some good ones on Tatooine but nothing compared to him.

(A/N: Alright TMI Luke TMI)

He was rough yet so gentle and caring. And it felt like it was not just about sex but about intimacy and passion. I had never had that with anyone on Tatooine. But I suppose it was all in my head. We were drunk, I was stressed and he's going to be married soon. That was all it was. I can't have him even if I yearn for him.

There was a knock on the door and a voice from outside, "Han? Are you alright? Sorry I didn't realise I had booked you the shit hotel on this planet. Can I come in?" It was Leia.

My head snapped towards him and I panic whispered, "What do we do?!"

He whispered back, "If you hide that's even more suspicious! You answer the door and just... make a cover story."

I nodded and made my way to the door while Han sat back down on the bed (where a mere six hours I had been having a blast) and he lay down trying to act natural.

I opened the door and smiled, "Good morning Leia!" I smiled putting on a cheery persona hoping she wouldn't Luke last it.

"Good morning Luke?" She said suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"

Shit. "Well your fiancé here," I gestured to Han on the bed who gave me a glare warning me not to say anything about last night, "was all panicky this morning about not being good enough for you. I had to come over here and sort it all out. Can you tell him that you love him?" I smiled anxiously.

I could feel Han's eyes burning into the back of my skull. Leia rolled her eyes, "Of course I love you Han." She made her way into the room, "anyway we need to discuss my plan of attack for the labour ethics conference." She began.
