The worst timing in the Galaxy

Honestly, why does everyone want to go back so often

It was dark and his eyes were sore.

There were sounds of footsteps coming form outside his room door. A large sounding crowd bustling about in the hallway.

Finn stared at the wall ahead of him as he adjusted his hearing to listen to the people outside his room.

"Here.....so....back...."

Finn slowly crawled out of his bed. He touched his puffy eyelids as he pulled a change of clothes on.

His body being more active was able to focus on the chatter outside his room more easily now.

"The report came in........Back-up.......Jakku......Outside the orbit......Close to the base....."

Finn's curiosity piqued as he slipped into Poe's jacket and moved closer to his door.

"Oh! So they're here? But one of the pilot's are in critical state? Which one-"

Finn didn't hear any longer as his eyes widened at the statement.

Without much thought, Finn shuffled into his shoes and rushed out of his room. He pushed through the moving crowd of people heading to the landing bay.

One of the pilot's are in critical state

One of the pilot's are in critical state

Please not him

Finn thought to himself, his heart racing more and more the closer he got to the sounds of medic bot's ushering someone. Little sirens blaring in warning.

People started separating apart to create space. A small mob of robot's and people rushing through the split in the crowd.

Finn held his breath. His eyes had never concentrated on something so hard in his life, not even when he worked as a Stormtrooper and searched for any stains.

He watched closely as the moving stretcher raced past him. The face of a pilot that was part of Poe's squad covered in blood and unconscious.

It wasn't him, so then, where is he? was Finn's next thought.

He turned his body and continued his way through the crowd in search. Other people passing him by as his eyes searched wildly for Poe.

Then it was there.

The glimpse of orange that contrasted to the night's dark glow. Loud cheering and some clap's sounding off around him.

Poe was hugging and talking to some people before he turned his face and made direct eye contact with Finn.

His expression slowly changing from shock to a wide smile as he quickly jogged towards Finn. Finn rushing towards him as well. Their little pace turning into a half sprint as the distance between them closed in.

Once they were close enough. They rushed into each other's arm's. A strong embrace forming as Finn closed his eyes and buried his face into Poe's shoulder.

"Alive, you're alive Poe...." Finn said with a wavering voice.

Poe felt his shoulder and warmer and more wet. He smiled with a worried expression.

"Yeah buddy, i'm all good." He said as he patted Finn's trembling back.

"I-I missed yo-u. Hiih..." Finn choked out through low sobs.

"Haha, yeah....Thanks for waiting Finn...." Poe closed his eyes.

He felt like the noise around him was no longer existent. It felt like it was only him and Finn.

Poe smiled sweetly while leaning into Finn.

"Sorry, I wish O could've been back sooner." Poe said softly.

"Hih...Meanie...." Finn said lightly with a sniffle.

"Hahaha, yup! I'm a big fat meanie...." Poe pulled back and held Finn's face in between his hand's "Especially for this." He said as he wiped away some tear's on Finn's cheeks.

He leaned in and placed a small kiss against Finn's lips.

"Hunh?" Finn said in a lost shock.

Finn stared into Poe's eyes, confused at the recent action.

"Ahem, i'm sorry but Poe, if you could come with me that would be perfect. We need to go over what happened during your absence." Organa said through their moment.

Poe quickly pulled away from Finn completely, rubbing the back of his neck as a small blush lighted his cheeks.

"Oh, yeah, sure. I'll catch up with you in a sec." He said to Organa.

"Very well then..." She nodded before walking away.

Poe turned back to Finn with a awkward smile.

"S-so um, head to my room and i'll meet you there as soon as i'm done briefing Organa. Okay?"

Finn's head was still in a state of confusion. All he could do was hum a "Yes" sounding answer.

"Great! I'll see you then." Poe said with a light pat onto Finn's shoulder before jogging away to follow General Organa.

Finn stared blankly at the ground as whooping sounds and whistles sounded off around him.

He squatted and buried his face in his arms, blushing furiously.

"He kissed me..."
