Finn blinked his eyes slowly open. The sight of Poe's sleeping face filling his vision.

His heart began to beat quickly. He could feel Poe's warm body heat pressed against his. Finn was too hyper aware of Poe's every movement, that he tried to squirm out of Poe's embrace and out of his bed. Having his get away plan backfire after he scooted 10 inches away from Poe, who mumbled in discomfort and dragged Finn closer to him. Enough so, that their lips were a pinky toe from touching.

Poe had trapped Finn in his arms, most likely unaware of what he was doing. He laid his arm over Finn's waist to keep him still while his right arm was left still under Finn's head as a pillow.

Finn ducked his head so that Poe's stirring wouldn't make his face get any dangerously closer to his.

"P-Poe! Wake up!" Finn exclaimed in a loud whisper, his voice an octave higher out of embarrassment. 

"Hnn?" Poe hummed sleepily as he rubbed at his eyes with his left hand.

Finn was sweating nervously as he held his breath, trying to calm his beating heart. His hands felt clammy and his head was spinning for tactful idea's to just run away.

"Mnn, mornin' Finn..." Poe trailed off in a raspy voice.

"Y-yeah, can you, um. Move a bit?" Finn quickly asked.

Poe looked down at Finn in half lidded eyes before those eyes widened in shock.

"Oh! s-sorry Finn, here." Poe removed his arm's and let Finn swiftly climb out his bed.

Poe sat up, slightly relieved that he was still wearing all of his clothes. He watched as Finn struggled to get out, guessing that Finn must be flustered.

"Sorry Finn, I---I should've woken you up, it's my bad. I was pretty exhausted yesterday..." Poe trailed off.

Finn looked at him with a half smile."It's alright, you went out of your way to entertain me when I had nothing to do." Finn walked to Poe's bedroom door and opened it.

"Ah! Wait!" Poe exclaimed before Finn could leave.

"Yes?" Finn asked.

"W--Did you have fun yesterday?" Poe asked with a small blush just below his eye's.

Finn quickly thought about his time with Poe the previous day. Yes, it was fun but, he was feeling thing's that he didn't know how to deal with. Finn smiled. "It was fun Poe, thank you." was all he said before swiftly closing the door and walking too his own room.

Once inside his own comfort zone. Finn made sure to lock his door and quickly change out of his clothes, take a shower and put on new ones. He finished the rest of his morning routine in record time, sitting down at the edge of his bed with a communicator in hand. He adjusted the station wavelength and clicked a button on the side 3 times. Then waited for a response.

....."Hello?" Came a feminine voice from the receiver.

"Rey!" Finn exclaimed happily.

A blue hologram shot to life from the device in Finn's hand. The picture displaying Rey with a smile and small wave to Finn.

"How are you Finn?" She asked.

"I'm doing great, how about your training? Are you alright?" Finn questioned.

"Definitely learning some thing's, i'll tell you that much." Rey said with a small giggle at the end.

"So, what's up? How's Poe doing? And everyone else at the base?" She asked.
