I tried to stop the laugh that is bubbling up from inside of me, but it floats out anyways, ringing like a bell. "Stop it!" I shriek, even though there is a bright smile lighting up my features. I try to push Luke away from me, but he doesn't let go, instead pulling me back towards him. He continues to tickle my sides as he wears a crooked grin.

"Not until you give!" Luke laughs. I finally squirm out of his grasp, sprinting away from the Millennium Falcon, which we just emerged from.

I shake my head as my footsteps flatten the long blades of grass beneath me. "Never!"

I know Luke is a much faster runner than me, and I can sense he is already catching up to me, but I still try to get away anyways. It's not long until he tackles me, and we both fall into the soft grass. We both struggle on the ground, but he emerges triumphant, pinning my arms to my sides.

"Give up?" He asks, smirking down at me. I frown and let out a frustrated huff, turning my head to the side.

"Yeah..." I groan dejectedly, before Luke chuckles once again. He leans down, warmly pressing his lips against my turned cheek. Suddenly we both hear an annoyed shout in the distance.

"Get a room, you two! Don't we have a job to do or something?!" Yells Han. Luke looks back at Han, rolling his eyes before getting up off of me. He holds a hand out to me and I eagerly take it, letting him help me up onto my feet.

I stop for a moment, finally taking in my surroundings. There's a crystal-clear sky of blue up above us. A cool breeze is blowing around us, and causing slow ripples to travel through the sea of grass surrounding us. It smells fresh and earthy here, and the only sounds are the quiet rustling of grass and the Millennium Falcon in the distance. Luke takes my hand in his and we both traipse back towards the Falcon.

Leia and Han are quietly arguing about something as we walk up. After a moment, Leia finally notices us and attempts to cake a fake smile on her face. "There you are! What exactly were you two up to over there?"

Luke reddened and tried to look at something else awkwardly. "Nothing..." he replied, to which Leia laughs.

"Alright, alright!" Cut in Han impatiently. "Quit acting all gooey over each other! I want to get out of here and back to the real action!" Leia glared at Han.

"I for one, think Luke and Y/N are cute together! But I guess some people don't appreciate these things!" Han stood still for a second, fuming at Leia, before striding back into the ship. Luke gave me a look and I nodded, letting him run back into the ship after Han.

I turned back to Leia, who leaned back against the side of the ship, crossing her arms. I give a her a half-hearted smile before walking over and standing next to her by the ship. I follow her gaze and look out at the sea of grass. Leia remains silent, and I let out a sigh. "What happened?"

Leia's eyes turn fiery again, and she looks at me. "Just when I thought he was ready to get into a serious relationship, he says he's not ready for the commitment." Leia's face turned into a bleak one, and she looks down with tears welling up in her eyes. "I...I thought I meant something to him! I thought that he loved me. But I guess I'm just another side-project in his life."

I frown at Leia and shake my head. "No, Leia. You've got it all wrong. You mean the world to him!"

"Then why does he treat me like this?" Asked Leia, looking down at her feet. I nudge Leia and she looks back up again. I give her a small smile before speaking again.

"Listen. I know Han. He's afraid that if he gets into a commitment with you, then you're going to leave him. Guys like him are the most afraid of having their hearts broken. That's why he shuts people out. You just need to give him time, that's all. He just needs time." Leia wipes her tears away with a sniff before taking me into a hug.

"You're the best, Y/N."

"And you are too."

We separate once again, and stay quiet. After a while, we hear the whoosh of the door to the ship opening, and Luke and Han step out. Leia looks at the door quickly before turning her head in the opposite direction. Han apprehensively walks over past Luke and I before stopping behind Leia. He rests a hand on her shoulder, causing her to look back at him.

"Leia..." he says softly. "We...we need to talk." Leia nods silently before walking by Han's side into the field of grass.

As they walk away, Luke comes closer to me, wrapping an arm around my waist. I lean my head on his shoulder, and we continue to watch Han and Leia. Eventually Han and Leia stop, and begin talking. They're too far away for us to hear them.

"Did it go well?" I mutter.

"Yeah, I think so. Han is kind of shaky about commitment. But he loves Leia."

"That's what I told her."

"So it went well with you, too?" Asks Luke.

"Yeah. Do you think they'll make up?" I ask. Suddenly we watch as Han takes Leia up in his arms and kisses her. Afterwards, the two hug, standing in the grass together.

Luke laughs as we watch them. "I think they just did."

I giggle too, before letting out a sigh. "They're cute together."

"Yeah."
