Pothos and the Neikea

30. Epilogue

"What do you think about Mitaka?" Rey asked, downing her tiny glass of wine. Why were they so tiny?

"What about him?" Kylo wondered.

Rey turned her head to look at Poe and Finn dancing together on the dance floor. The two of them had never looked better; their colorful suits on, their widest of smiles, their wedding rings. Feeling a wave of jealousy come over her, Rey grabbed Kylo's arm and dragged him to the dance floor before answering his question. Finn winked at her when he saw them.

"Hey, best man," he called on Kylo. "I thought you didn't like dancing!"

"Oh, you know," Kylo murmured as he gave Rey a spin, "I'll make an exception for your wedding."

Poe laughed and came closer to the couple. "I hope you can make the same exception for the rest of the receptions to come," he commented and raised his eyebrow towards Rey's engagement ring.

"Oh, we've got time till then, flyboy, slow down," Rey chuckled.

She started playing nervously with her ring for a second. Then she draped her arms around Kylo's neck and they started slow-dancing, even though the song wasn't the best one for that kind of dance. Kylo lowered his head and buried his face in her neck. He nibbled on her soft skin for a little while before he spoke.

"So? What about Mitaka?"

Rey shrugged. "He's a nice guy, isn't he?"

Kylo wrinkled his nose. "I guess. He's a bit quiet."

"But he's your friend."

Kylo snorted. "Friend…"

Rey pulled slightly away and placed her hand on his chest, stroking him. "Well, I know you don't want to admit it because you have this idea in your head that you're alone and don't need anyone… but when you hang out with someone after work for beers and go on weekend escapes and help them move… that's a friend. And he is your friend."

The tall man with the dark hair was torn between smiling and rolling his eyes. "By that logic, Finn and Poe are my friends too."

Rey stopped dancing on the spot. She looked at Kylo dead in the eyes and then broke into laughter. "Of course they are! They made you their best man at their wedding!"

Kylo took her hands in his and made her move again. "No… they made you their best woman and just asked me too because we're engaged."

Rey snorted. "I've told you so many times I don't like it when you say it like that. Why can't I be a best man too?"

"Because I am the best man."

"Well, I am too!"

Kylo chuckled. He leaned down and kissed her gently. "We're the best couple."

His little Rey couldn't help but blush.

"You were saying something about Mitaka…" he said.

"Oh, right. What would you think about him getting with Rose? She's the only one that's still single, we should-"

"Rey!" Kylo laughed. "We shouldn't do anything. Don't play the matchmaker now."
