You were in the mechanical wing, upgrading your tools when Poe came in, spinning his helmet around  on his finger.

"Watcha doin Tink?" He asked, grabbing a chair, sitting on it backwards.

"Upgrading." You said. "What about you?"

"Nothing much, just popping by to see my girl." He said, smiling.

You rolled your eyes. "Seriously."

"Okay, I'm actually hiding from General Organa. I think she wants me to go in some kind of mission and I really don't wanna go, but I can't just say no." He explained, quickly.

You laughed. "Poe Dameron? Hiding? I guess there's a first for everything." You said.

He rolled his eyes. "Seriously, I just really don't want to go." He said.

"Why's that?" You asked.

"Because I lo-because I don't want you to be lonely and by yourself." He said, looking awkwardly at the ground.

"You're such a softie." You said, ruffling his hair.

"Poe, there you are!"

Poe cringed and turned around. "Hello, General Organa." He said, putting on a fake smile.

"Meet me in my office when your done here." She said, walking off the other way.

Poe slumped in the chair. "Fuck it, I'll just say no." He groaned.

"Why would you say no, just because you think I might be lonely. There are other people here who I consider my friends." You told him.

Poe sighed. "It's not that it's just-"

"It's fine Poe, just go see what the General wants." You said, shooing him out the door.

"But-"

"Butts are for pooping, go on." You said, turning back to your work.

Poe looked back at you as if he was going to say something, but shook his head and left.

Poe came back, with a happy smile on his face. "What's up with you?" You asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Turns out the Generals just hiring a new recruit and she wants me to show him the ropes." He said, happily.

"So why'd you make a big deal out of leaving me here again?" You asked, beginning to pack up your tools.

Poe didn't respond. You turned around to face him. He was nervously scratching the back of his neck. "Oh it was nothing. Just me being paranoid." He said.

You crossed your arms and narrowed your eyes at him. "Poe." You warned.

"Because...I...I love...you." He said.
