Rey's POV
"You know you had almost the exact same expression the first time I did this to you." Ben smirks.

I narrow my eyes at him, but relax that it's him and I'm not being captured.

I force pull at his grip and he let's go, probably knowing he will lose.

"Should I be worried about passing out and waking up strapped to a chair on a frozen planet?" I joke.

Ben chuckles and Apollo does too, although I'm sure he doesn't fully understand.

"You know, this is where Rey," Ben looks at me, then back to Apollo, "your mother and I first met. In that same way too."

"You were trying to scare her?" Apollo giggles.

"Well no, but... actually yes." Ben laughs. "And she shot at me."

"You guys weren't always lovers?" Apollo questions and I walk over to a boulder to sit and motion them to join.

"No, your mother and I were actually supposed to be enemies." Ben tells him, as he takes a sit next to me.

"At least that's what the Resistance and First Order wanted." I correct him. "We have a force bond though that is stronger than any other known bond to us."

"Yup and that's why I will always be with you." Ben kisses the top my head. "Okay who's hungry?"

"Me." I hop up and Apollo follows my lead.

"Follow me. I know the way." Apollo grabs my hand and begins leading me back to the Falcon.

"Ow." I hear Ben hiss and tumble.

I giggle and stop Apollo, going back to Ben him up.

"Need help?" I offer a hand to him, as he begins to get up, accepting my hand.

He stops however.

"Rey, I will always need you. I promise to be there whenever you need me. I will never leave your side and if we are taken apart there is nothing in this galaxy that will stop me from returning to you. You're where I belong. Will you marry me?"

Tears build on the brim of my eyes and my smile doesn't feel like it will fade for hours. "Yes."

Ben grins and picks me up, swinging me in a circle.

When he sets me down. I pull him by his neck into a sweet kiss of passion and love.

We part for air and rest our foreheads together.

Ben is where I belong.

He pulls back out the ring he had offered me while on his knee.

I stretch my hand and fingers out and it slides on perfectly.

"Oh Ben, it's absolutely gorgeous."

"It was my mother's. My father actually picked it out." His brown eyes glaze into mine and I swear I'm dreaming.

I must have been kidnapped. This isn't real.

I pinch myself to make sure and Ben laughs at my action.

"So it's official now?" Apollo asks.

"Is what?" Ben asks and picks him up.

"That your my new parents?"
