What are you doing, stepbro? Ben Solo x Reader

Epilogue

-Merry Christmas y'all-

After the party subsides, and mostly everyone leaves, Ben pulls you aside to sit on one of the pool chairs. "I have something for you."

"What?"

"Just wait right there."

He goes inside, and brings out the fucking cutest dog you have ever seen. Its fur is curly and a beige colour, with an adorable little face.

He places it in your lap and it licks at your hands, "What is it?"

"A dog." he answers monotonously.

"No, I mean what kind of dog."

"Maltipoo. Since it's summer it's a good time to raise a dog, you won't be in school."

"But why?"

"Because you always watch reels with dogs in them."

"That was your deciding factor?"

"I wanted one too. Are you happy?"

"Who wouldn't be?"

You go home, puppy in tow and once you're step inside you wrack your brain for names.

The still nameless puppy prefers his crate, in your room, and while he sleeps you give Ben your list of names.

"We are not naming him French Toast." Ben says sternly.

"I think Rib eye steak is kinda cute."

"Are you on drugs?"

"Spare ribs?"

"No."

"Shakespeare?"

"Waygu Beef?"

"You don't even eat beef!"

"Exactly! I won't eat him either."

"Creme Brûlée."

"That's too long."

"Biscotti."

Ben sighs. "Fine. Biscotti it is."

Biscotti is the most perfect dog you have met. Ben takes him for puppy classes after work, and your boss suddenly decided to make the cafe pet friendly, and in July Biscotti wins employee of the month.

Sometimes you find yourself feeling like this is too good to be true. There has to be a catch.

But in reality, there isn't. You just work.

Everything falls into place. Rey is out of the closet, the throuple of Finn, Poe, and Rose is working out too.

(A/N: this sentence is the epitome of how unhinged my writing is 🤭)

When you go back to school, you put Biscotti into doggy daycare because Ben was adamant that Biscotti will be too lonely if he's left at home while he's at work and you're at school.

Han and Leia remarry in the spring, and Biscotti is the ring bearer. There's no flower girl, but you're a bridesmaid as is Rey, and Ben and Luke a groomsmen.

The wedding is casual and pleasant, and you have to admit selfishly you're glad because you are now not at all legally tied to the family.

(A/N yet !)

But then Ben is asked to house sit for the month of July while they are off on their honeymoon. Your apartment will be just fine on its own so naturally you join Ben.

When you walk through the doors it is oddly reminiscent. The first time you came into this house Ben and Han were complete strangers. And your step family.
