Trust the stars (Reylo fanfiction) #TheWattys2016

It is official

Rey's POV:

We landed in the Resistance base. People were cheering and blessing our arrival. They were happy for us, that we made out of there alive. We thanked them and hurried into the hospital. Leia is badly injured, but she is still alive. I knew she wouldn't just leave us alone. I am waiting outside the room, in the hall. I am nervous, the doctors still haven't come to tell us what is going on. Ben is next to me, my head is peacefully resting on his shoulder. He didn't say a word, I know he is nervous...and scared. The fact that we can't do anything is the thing that makes us weak. I know that I am guilty for what happened, I shouldn't have left her stand there in front of me on her own, I was selfish.

"Don't blame yourself for what happened, you are not guilty at all. If anyone is to blame here, it is me. Nothing would have happened if I have beaten Hux sooner."

"But she shouldn't have protected me like that." I felt a tear escape my eyes, it went all the way down my cheeks.

"She did it because she knew I couldn't have forgiven myself if something happened to you. She knew I love you with all my heart. " I felt again the warm feeling running down my skin, only Ben can make me feel that way. He took my head gently into his arms and brushed off my tears. He is paler than before, the situation must be hard on him. He started to close the barrier that existed between us, his breath soft on my skin, but I choose to close first. Rush of electricity went in every fiber of my body. The kiss was gentle, but with every second it became more demanding, wanting more. He put everything inside, all the emotions that he felt. Hurt, pain, lust...and desire, all of it, in one single touch. I felt whole again, not only because of the bond, but because of the mutual feelings we have for each other. We slowly pulled away. Breathing is very important for survival. I smiled to myself, I am very fortunate to have him as my partner, as the man I love.

"Darling." He took my hand into his much larger one, he is nervous about something, I feel it inside. I stopped for a moment, waiting for him to continue.

"I...I want to make our courting official. I...believe it is time. No matter what happens today, my feelings for you won't change. I want to be with you every day and every night, forever. " I smiled. A sudden desire to hug him made my way into my mind. He wants to be with me! Me from all the girls in the universe.

"Yes! Yes!" I hugged him tightly, his hands now resting on my back. "Of course I want to be with you." He is grinning now, his smile warm and sincere. Our little moment was suddenly distracted by the opening of the glass door. A man no older that thirty with dark brown hair and dark green eyes approached us. His face was neutral, not even a single glimpse of emotion.

"I am doctor Onden." He greeted us. We took his hand to shake and nod gently.

"You are the relatives of General Leia Organa?" He asked, his voice deep.

"Yes, I am her son. And this is my girlfriend." Ben answered politely. He is obviously anxious to find out, and so am I. The doctor seemed to take his time slowly, he is making us impatient more and more, this is torture.

"Please tell us how is my mother!" Ben shouted, his temper is begging to show. I took his hand to calm him down. He instantly relaxed a bit.

"She is...there is high chance that she will survive. Your mother is bold." Finally good news, I need them more in my life.

"High chance, so there is still a chance that she won't." Ben muttered under his breath.

"Yes, but those chances are very little. Go see your mother, she will feel better. She asked about you more than three times already." Ben and I smiled, this is Leia. Thinking about everyone but herself. We thanked the doctor and went inside the room. My heart is beating fast, for the first time she will see us holding hands, and I know she will be happy.
