You're sleepy on the car ride home, and your head is leaning against the window as Ben drives.

While he drives, he wonders what the fuck he's going to do.

He's going back to work, and you're heading back to school. Meanwhile, Leia still hasn't gone home and Han is soon to be divorced.

He pulls up to the driveway, and nudges you. "Come on. It's time for bed."

You groan, and pull the handle to open the door. Before you know it, Ben is in front of you, as if he's prepared to catch you.

"I'm not that clumsy." You mutter, getting out without his help.

Ben does not understand women.

"And you were begging me to come inside before."

"You were the one who came inside." You reply, referring to the bathtub incident.

(A/N not me writing smut but being unable to say the word sex)

"And you were begging for it."

"Fuck off." You say, walking up to the house begrudgingly.

"Goodnight." He says, and you pause.

"You're not coming?"

That's better.

So, Ben walks you up to your room and takes off your dress and into your pyjamas.

"I can't stay tonight." He says after tucking you into bed.

"Why?" You ask.

he leans down and kisses your forehead, "goodnight."

You're too tired to protest, and he sighs, running a hand through his hair.

He does not know what to do, and it is eating him up inside.

-

You feel like a zombie when you wake, and when you look at your phone your eyes widen. Poe has blown it up. You don't bother reading the texts, you just call him.

He doesn't even answer with hello.

"What the fuck happened last night?"

"Which part?"

"Ben drove Rey home, right?"

Now you remember. "Don't you dare tell Rey I told you."

"My lips are sealed."

"Jannah slept over at her house. I think they did more than sleeping. They were holding hands as they walked inside."

"Holy cow."

As you wake up fully, you realize you may have low key outed her.

"I didn't just out her, did I?"

"We all saw that kiss. It was more than friendly."

"At least she's over Ben."

"Period. Did you and Benny boy get up to anything last night?"

"No. He didn't sleep over."

"Trouble in paradise?"

"Fuck off. My life is far from paradise." You say teasingly.

"You should write a book. I'm sure people would eat it up."

"Whatever." You mumble.

"Go eat some food. You sound cranky."

"Fuck off." You say again.

"Love youuuu."

"Love you too." You say in an annoyed tone, and hang up.

You head downstairs and see that Han is sitting at the table drinking coffee and reading the paper.
