Poe Dameron [One-Shots]

#5 Hurt My Feelings [Part 2]

It turns out that Poe had been injured nearly as bad as your friend had. Key word being nearly. Poe was still conscious, every once in a while. He was kept under with drugs most of the time. Due mostly to the fact that he would try to escape the medical ward without the proper clearance. But also due to the fact that if he moved at all he would probably end up killing himself. He had a major wound that went from his right shoulder to his left hip, varying in depth, and it had messed up his right lung.

Needless to say he was on bedrest until further notice. And his beard was starting to grow out. His friends offered to help him shave, but he just said that he would get it when he finally escaped. They tried to tell him that it was gonna be awhile, but he was drugged, so he didn't really get it.

You spent most of your time in the ward sitting next to your friend, who seemed like he would make it through. You met a lot of Poe's friends when they came in to check up on him and you really liked them. You didn't really have many friends, but obviously your one, and so the whole big-bickering-family vibe that Poe's squadron put off was new for you, and you really liked it. They came in so often that they sort of added you to the family.

You had only talked to Poe a few times since that first day, but it was always when the room was full of his friends who were all joking quietly. They would always come inPoe would laugh and then cringe in pain and his buddies would all shush him and keep talking, then Poe would pretend like he understood all the jokes, but he was so sleepy and drugged that all he could really manage was smirk lazily and roll his head to the side with a huff. And then cringe.

He actually tried to make a joke one time, and it made the room explode in laughter. But not because it was actually funny. Lupo had made some wisecrack about how this was just like when he would babysit Poe when he was a kid, and Poe, thinking himself hilarious said, "Ya, I'm in medical cause I'm dying." and then he proceeded to laugh until the pain became so intense that it usurped the drugs and he felt it.

And then one day He woke up while everyone was running drills. You moved over to sit on the edge of his bed and smiled. "Hey, how ya feeling?" you asked him as he blinked his eyes squinted, trying to clear his head.

He yawned and then winced, "I'm fine. What are you doing here? Are you hurt?" He asked, worry showing through in his drowsy voice.

You smiled, "No, I'm not hurt." you answered, and then as an after-thought, "You are though."

His eyes got really wide and this adorable look came over his face, "What?!" he whispered, "Am I okay?" he yawned again.

You laughed, "Don't worry, we think you'll pull through."

"A-Are you sure?! I-I feel mes...messed up." He grabbed your wrist and placed it on his forehead. You moved so the back of your hand was touching his forehead. His temperature felt really hot. You frowned, that was not normal. Poe gasped, "You look sad, I am dying!" He started breathing quickly, and his eyes stayed wide open.

"You're not dying!" you rolled your eyes, "You just have a high temperature. I'm gonna go find a doctor."

"No! Stay with- here... um... me" He raised his head off the pillow to speak. You gently brushed your fingers through the curls that framed his face and he dropped his head back onto the pillow.

"I'm gonna go find a Doctor." you reiterated, as you stood to walk away.

You were almost to the door when he called out, "I like you!" in a drowsy voice.

You turned around in the door, "I like you too, I'll be back in a minute."

Your returned a minute later with a Doctor, "I think he has a slight fever, but I figured I should let someone know." you said following the Doctor into the room. The man stood next to Poe's bed and told Poe that he was going to take his temperature.

"Hu?" Poe said, not really paying attention, and then in a conspiratorial whisper, "I like her. I told her so, and she said that she likes me too." He was wearing a dopey grin and then yawned. The doctor looked at you with a smile, and a cocked eyebrow.

You just shrugged, "It did technically happen, but I don't think he means it, he's a little loopy right now."

The Doctor chuckled and then proceeded to take Poe's temperature. He had a pretty high fever and the doctor gave him some more meds. Non-drowsy meds. He still fell asleep a few minutes later though.

A week later Poe was taken off the extra strong painkiller and so he was no longer drowsy. One morning he woke up, said hi, and then kept giving you a weird look. He tried to sit up in the bed and couldn't quite manage it. You walked over and gave him a hand.

"Thanks." he said. You sat on the edge of his bed again, and finally got up the courage to ask this new, non-drugged, version of Poe, what he was thinking. He gave you another look and then said, "I was just remembering something that happened while I was on that really strong painkiller."

You smirked, completely forgetting about what he had said to you, thinking that he was going to say something about one of the crazy things that had come out of his mouth. "Oh ya? Is it starting to come back to you?"

He nodded with a look of concentration, "Its all still a bit fuzzy... but did I say that I like you?"

You bit the inside of your cheek, "Uh, ya... ya you did." you smiled a little.

"Oh." Poe said with regret in his voice. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

You avoided looking in his eyes. You knew this was coming but you hadn't really been expecting him to be so kriffin' direct about it. A normal person would have just avoided the whole conversation.

"Oh... ok." was all you could bring yourself to say. And before you could think of anything else, he smirked,

"I worded it wrong. I should have said, 'I think I love you.'"

You were so shocked you just looked at him and said, "What?"

THE END

A/N So that's it for the HURT MY FEELINGS story line. This turned out to be a 2 shot. I'm happy with the way it turned out. If you like it don't forget to comment and let me know what you think.
