"Oh my stars! It's your jacket!" Finn said excitedly.
Poe grabbed the jacket out of the bin. Other clothing items rested inside the box too, but the jacket was the main importance.
"You mean your jacket," He flipped it around, revealing a large gash in the back, " You know, It could use some patching up. Know anybody that sews?"
"No, unless you can." Finn waggled his eyebrows up and down.
"I've been known to dabble in sewing when involving parachute string in life or death situations."
"Can this count as life or death?"
Poe smiled, Finn was being very cute right now. "Maybe, if you say please." Now he waggled his eyebrows.
Finn glared kiddingly "Please?"
Poe grinned from ear to ear feeling very accomplished, "Let me hang on to it, I'll see what I can do."
Both were silent for a second, savoring this moment. Finn was excited Poe was paying him special attention, and Poe was noticing how cute Finn was being. Poe had noticed it before, when he first meet the storm trooper, and when they reunited. The thumping in his chest returned. Poe had never felt this way about anyone, what ever this feeling was. It was new to him, and Finn.
Finn couldn't help but notice something since he woke up. Besides the pain in his back, shoulder, and pretty much everywhere else, something was new. He wasn't sure, maybe it was the meds, or he was just adjusting to being awake, maybe he was hungry. Finn felt it in his chest, somewhere there. It was a good new thing, or feeling, he wasn't sure.
"So," Finn said breaking the silence, "Where is Rey? I would think she would be here by now." He looked around the room towards the door, as if Rey was going to come barging in the room.
Poe set down the jacket, and he glanced away as his smile fell.
"Rey took the Millennium Falcon and followed the map to find Luke," A voice cut in from the door, both men glanced to see General Organa leaning on the door frame, " Sorry, couldn't help but cut in."
"General." Poe said standing up a and giving a salute. Finn a gave a weak one of his own.
General Organa approached Finn and smiled gently. "I'm glad you are awake, hopefully you make a swift recovery."
"Thank you General," Finn glanced at Poe, and something felt off, but he shook off and continued with the General Organa. "So Rey found Luke? Will she be coming back soon?"Poe picked up the jacket, he hardly knew Rey and felt awkward talking about her. He wished the topic had never been brought up. I should be getting back to my shift anyway he thought. This seemed to be a good time to leave, even though he didn't want to.
"Well I've got to go do the test flight," he said just realizing he was in full flight gear, funny how little things slip when your talking with someone. Poe glanced at Finn who looked a little hurt in his eyes, " I'll, uhh see you around Finn." And with that, Poe walked out of the room as fast as he could.
Finn watched as his friend walked out, why though, what did I say? He thought. He shook it off and returned his gaze to General Organa who began to talk about Rey.
"-and so she has been on the planet for 9 days." The General finished.
"Thanks General, I think I'm going to rest a bit now." Finn said just so he could be alone with his thought, which were mainly concerning Poe.
"Alright, notify a nurse when you wake up, the sooner you start therapy the better."
"Ok, good bye." As the General went out of the room Finn adjusted himself in a less upward position. It hurts much more when someone isn't here to help he thought, thinking of Poe. Finn looked around the room, feeling how empty it was. This was the most alone Finn had ever been, even as a storm trooper you always stood in numbers. He was alone with his thoughts just has he wanted, but Finn didn't know these thoughts, well more like feelings. Thoughts and feelings of Poe.
