Reylo One Shots

Memory (Part II)

I wake up slowly to someone knocking on my door. I guess I fell asleep after I came here to cool off. I don't want to move. I'm comfortable in my bed, but the knocking won't stop. I get up from my bed and open the door. It's BB-8. That's why the knock sounded like it was coming from the bottom of the door. I crouch down so I can talk to the droid. "Hey, BB. What do you need?"

"Nothing, I just came here to let you know that breakfast is ready."

"Oh, okay. Thanks BB. I'll be there in a sec."

My eyes follow the droid as it rolls away. I get up and go back into my room to get ready. Instead of putting my hair in three buns, I decide on one bun, the top one. Once I'm done, I go to food court to get breakfast. I see everybody getting their food except Kylo. Maybe he lost his appetite. I jump in line with everyone else. I grab my food and sit at the table that's the farest away from him. I start to eat, but in the corner of my eye I see Kylo staring at me. Not angrily, just staring. After a while he gets up and starts to walk over. I don't want him to know that I've been watching him this whole time, so I stay calm, ignoring him.

When I look up he's towering over me. I look back at my tray of food. He sighs and takes the seat next to me. I don't look at him. I don't want to. He looks down at his hands, which are holding each other, and looks back up and finally speaks, "I'm sorry, Rey. I shouldn't have doubted you. Everybody has their own set of problems. Sometimes I tend to forget that."

I stay silent, not knowing whether or not to apologise back. He puts a hand on my shoulder. I don't move a muscle.

"When I said you were perfect, I wasn't lying. You've been through all this pain in your life, and some how you're so good. Compared to me, you're perfect. And in my eyes, you're perfect."

I don't what to say. Nobody has ever said anything like that to me. I don't know how to respond.
I usually go with my instincts, and right now I'm going to follow them.

I turn my head to face him. His face is a good 6 inches away from mine. He changed his outfit. It looks a lot like Han's old one. Maybe his mom gave it to him. How poetic. His black wavy hair almost touches his shoulders. His pupils dilate. I grab the shirt underneath the jacket that he's wearing and pull him towards me. I keep pulling him til our lips touch and his arms go around me. My hands move from his shirt to the back of his neck. At this point, everyone is probably  watching us, but do I care? No.

We break away and look at eachother. I can see the shock in his eyes. I whisper, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you."

He shakes his head, "No, you needed to. I needed a wake-up call."

I smile slightly.

My finger goes through his hair as he stares at me with compassion. I look at the people around us, and I was right. They are staring at us, not knowing what to do. I whisper in Kylo's ear, "Let's get out of here." He nods and we both get up. He starts walking and I catch up to him and put my hand in his. He looks at our hands and then to me. He smiles.

I bring him to most beautiful spot on the base I know. It's sunrise too, which make it even better. We look out at the distance, still holding hands. We don't say anything, just silence. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, savoring this moment. I open my eyes and look at Kylo. "What are we gonna do now?"

"What do you mean?"

"What about Snoke. If you erased your memory yourself, he might be looking for you."

"Maybe, but that doesn't matter right now. What matters is us."

"You're right, besides, Snoke compared to us, is nothing."

"Exactly."

I stay silent for second, thinking about what to say next. But then I finally speak, "All my life, I've been missing something. When my parents left me, they didn't just leave, apart of me did as well. I know it's ridiculous, but I think why I like to fix things a lot is because, maybe the more I fix, the less problems I have. I feel as though it makes up for whatever I did to make my parents leave me. It left a whole in me. I also thought that maybe one day I find something, fix it and make it into something that could fill that whole. Not in a million years would I think that it would be you. Master of The Knights of Ren. You have filled the whole in my heart."

He stares at me with no emotion. I stare at him waiting for him to do something. We sit there for what seems forever. Finally he grabs my head and pulls me in and our lips touch once again. But this time it's with more passion. We break apart and lean our forheads against one another. "I remember when I first saw you. I remember the dream. I was 12 at the time and I was in a little room and there was a girl crying. She was sitting on her bed with her knees up to her face. I felt bad so I went over and conforted her. As soon as I touched her she stopped crying. She hugged me immediately. I never got hugs at that age, so I didn't know what to do. I remember she whispered something, she said, "I feel safe now." I didn't have any idea who the girl was, until I met you."

At this point there are tears coming out of my eyes. "I remember that dream. That was the night that my parents left. I was so sad. I didn't know anybody on Jakku besides my parents. I just needed someone at that moment and you showed up."

"I guess we really are meant to be together."
