I would love if you could write more fluff with ben <3

★━━━━━━★━━━━━━★

Every chance you got to be with Ben was a gift you took great advantage of. He wasn't always around, constantly busy with some sort of mission for the Resistance, but when he was home, you melted.

You were deep in sleep, exhausted from the days work, unable to hear a thing. Usually, any slight change or shift woke you up, but this time... nothing. You were completely knocked out, resting on your side, curled up and cuddling a pillow when Ben walked in.

It was 0200, too late in the night for him to surprise you with kisses. Your sleep was precious and he respected that—but that didn't stop him from undressing and joining you.

He was light on his feet, very careful not to wake you. You, however, were right smack in the middle of the bed (something you always did when Ben wasn't around so you'd feel less lonely). Tugging back the sheets and carefully crawling in as the bed dipped, Ben reached his arm out and wrapped it around you, pressing himself against you as his face buried within your hair.

Breathing you in with a smile, Ben left a small kiss on the back of your neck before closing his eyes. In the morning, you'd feel the wrath of his kisses.

But morning was hours away, and Ben—although tired—was too eager to sleep. He lied beside you, basking you in, feeling your stomach inflate and deflate with every breath you took. He couldn't help but gently press his hand against your chest to feel your heart.

Extending his arm out, reaching for your hand that hung over the pillow you cuddled, he slid his fingers over yours before holding them.

Hearing you take in a deep breath as you shifted, Ben's heart skipped a beat, hoping you'd wake up—but you only buried your face into your pillow and stayed asleep.

Sighing, Ben was about to pull his hand away, only to feel your fingers close around his. "You're home..."

Smiling at the sound of your tired voice as you mumbled, Ben lifted himself enough to kiss your cheek before you rolled onto him. "I wanted to surprise you, space angel."

Looking up at him and smiling, you reached a hand over and caressed his cheek, brushing your thumb against his bottom lip before completely turning. Burrowing yourself within his chest, taking in his warmth as you pressed small kisses against the skin you've grown to love, you sighed. "How long are you staying?"

"As long as you need me to." He whispered, kissing the top of your head while slipping his hand underneath your shirt and rubbing circles against your back.

"Forever..." You breathed. You knew forever was impossible, with him being who he was and you being an officer, but it was nice to imagine; fun to fantasize the possibilities of forever. Truly, you loved one another, and you've even considered getting married in secret but knew how upset that would make Leia.

"Forever it is." Wrapping his arms—and legs—around you, Ben kept you locked against him for the rest of the night until morning.

It was hard to get out of bed when the time had come, you whined, kept him in your embrace as the sun peeked into your quarters. You had your head resting on his chest as his fingers ran through your hair. The two of you weren't entirely asleep, but you laid there, eyes closed and welcoming the others warmth.

Eventually, as your stomachs rumbled and begged for food, either of you freshened up before getting breakfast—which you did rather sluggishly. Ben had an arm wrapped around you the entire time as you leaned against him, slowly eating in silence. No one bothered the two of you, seeing as it was early and everyone else had their own matters to focus on. When you had finished, the two of you walked hand in hand back to your chambers, Ben's jacket draped over your shoulders as you rested your head on his upper arm.

Not even Leia interfered, everyone knew how little time you and Ben had together and wouldn't dare come in between.

Almost considering falling back onto the bed and napping, Ben only pulled you away to the washroom, suggesting a bath as you lazily agreed. You weren't sure why, but you were extra tired than usual.

Undressing you after setting up the bath, then removing his own clothes, Ben brought himself into the warm water before reaching for you and helping you in.

Resting your back against his chest, sinking in enough for the water to hit your shoulders, Ben rested his head against the tile wall behind him as he rubbed his hands against your arms. "How was the mission?"

"Good." He answered. "Too long... but what mission isn't when I'm away from you?"

Smiling, you reached into the water and massaged his thighs. "I missed you."

"I missed you, too." He hummed, arms wrapping over your shoulders.

"When's your next mission?" You asked, frowning at the thought.

"Mom hasn't told me. I think she's giving me a break to be with you." He sighed in content as you smiled.

"Really?"

"Mhm." He hummed.

"Will it be like old times, you and I working together on the base?"

"Definitely. Except, this time, there'll be a minor change." Ben said, shifting in his spot as he unwrapped an arm from you.

"Why's that?" Your eyebrows furrowed, eyes glued on the bubbles but not entirely focused on them.

"That's because you'll be wearing this." Reaching his hand out before you, your blurred vision suddenly focused on what was presented to you.

A ring. An engagement ring. "You're assuming I'd agree?" You teased

"Mhm." He nodded, using his free hand to reach for yours as you allowed him to. "Well, do you wanna get married?" He asked, already slipping the ring on.

"I have no choice." You chuckled, eyeing the ring while entangling your fingers with his.

"I'll take that as a yes." He whispered, leaning in and kissing your cheek.

Turning in your spot, you smiled at him before eyeing his pink lips. "Of course I'd say yes, fly boy."

"I wouldn't accept it any other way." He winked, leaning in and kissing you, feeling your arms wrap over his shoulder as he held your waist. "I love you, princess."

Smiling against his lips before nuzzling his cheek, you muttered against it. "I love you, too."
