Rey x Finn: One Shots

The Confession Scheme

Poe noticed everything. Finn's unbearably obvious puppy dog eyes. Rey's soft blushes. It was so obvious to him, and to BB-8, that they liked each other.

Neither of them got it, however.

It was almost painful for the older, more experienced pilot to watch the two idiots fumble around each other trying to play it off as "just really good friends". BB-8.. well. BB-8 tried everything to trip them up. The little droid took it as a job to tease Rey about it, make her flustered and nervous and then trying to trip the girl up when Finn came around. "What's he saying?" the answer was always "NOTHING!"

Poe didn't exactly approve of the droid's actions but, at the same time, at least the little guy had the guts to mess with a woman who could wield a lightsaber. That was a respectable game. Finally though, he'd had enough. Hatching a plan with BB-8 to talk to Rey, when he got two seconds alone with Finn he brought it up.

"Okay, seriously, man. Tell her." Finn cocked his head, much like a puppy (Poe swore he was a fucking dog at heart), and furrowed his brow in feigned ignorance.

"Tell who what?" he wiped some dirt of unexplained origin off of his blaster. Poe rolled his eyes so far back it almost hurt.

"Tell Rey that you love her." Finn could feel himself heat up.

"Wh-what are you talking about??" he failed at keeping cool.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about, idiot. You love the girl just tell her." he sauntered over and lightly punched Finn's shoulder.

"First off, I don't love her I just-"

"You love her." Poe cut him off and narrowed his eyes in annoyance.

"Okay yes. I love her. But how exactly am I supposed to tell a beautiful, smart Jedi that. I'm a runaway STORM TROOPER."

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

BB-8 beeped quickly and sporadically at Rey who stood, bewildered and embarrassed and nervous. The little droid insisted that she tell Finn how she felt.

"How am I supposed to tell him I like him?"

"love him"

"Love him." Rey blushed and bit her lip.

"Just tell him. It is not that hard."

"Yes it is! What if he doesn't like me back?! I don't want to lose him! What if he doesn't like... like people that way? I mean, he was a storm trooper wasn't he? Is that part of their training?... Maybe..." she collapsed into a sitting position on the ground. The droid rolled up closer and whirred. Rey looked up.

"I am pretty sure he loves you too. Just try." Rey looked at BB-8 for a moment and then sighed. She stood and took a deep breath. Better do it now when she had the courage then try to squeak it out later.

From one end of the hall, Finn hurried, feet pounding on the ground. Poe's heavy, booted footsteps following close behind for support.

From an adjoining corridor Rey searched for her friend, BB-8 trailing close behind her, by her request of course. She turned the corner and nearly ran straight into Finn.

"FINN!!!" she jumped back in surprise and then smiled awkwardly. "I was looking for you."

"I was looking for you too. What is it?" his voice was a little shaky with nerves and he swallowed hard, his adam's apple bobbing down and back up again. BB-8 and Poe exchanged glances with each other and stepped back a little. Rey and Finn stood in a nerve-charged silence for a second until they both took deep breaths.

"Finn...-"

                   "I love you!"

"Rey...-"

Poe gave BB-8 a thumbs up, getting a little flame in return.
