"Rey... I think they want us to join them" Ben wispered to a very asleep Rey  on his chest.

There was a small drool line going down her lip and he laughed at it, taking it off with the covers.

"Rey! come on" this time he shook her a little.

"Noooo..." she extended as much as she could as she clinged even more onto him, hiding her face on his neck.

"We're landing in 20 minutes, every one up!" Someone knocked on Ben's door, not knowing that inside there was also Rey.

"Come on, if not I can't guarantee that there'll be something decent for breakfast" he tried bribing her.

"I don't care, I'll show you how you can make a very good breakfast soup with a piece of bread and some water" she half jocked.

Instead of answering Ben rubber her back  and her hair.

He wondered how Rey had to grow up, and at the same time felt her loneliness.

"That's not helping either" Rey said yawning and kissing his shoulder.

"You slept more yesterday"

"It still doesn't feel like enough" she said going to the bathroom.

The past days  as a small crew including Finn, Poe, Jannah, Rose, Kaydel and some others, had begun the search on the outer rim planets searching for the base of people waiting for Ben to come back and the ones trying to kill Rey, so she hadn't been able to sleep well.

Which only meant that Ben couldn't sleep either. It's not like she wanted that to happen, but like in Naboo their emotions ended up tangling with each other and the constant fear that Rey felt rubbed off on Ben having nightmares about her dying.

"I'm starting to think that maybe that trooper lied to us" Rey said now getting out of the bathroom fresh and changed.

"We're not looking on the right places, but this time, I'm sure they are here." Ben declared.

Rey stopped her yawn when he stood from the bed, his chest naked and walked past her. She froze.

She felt like it was a little dumb to still feel uncomfortable watching him like that and at the same time it wasn't.

"I'm- I'm getting us something to eat. I'll see you there" she said loud so he could hear through the door and then got outside.

"Like we didn't know you two are sleeping together" Kaydel said behind her, making her stop trying to tip toe to the eating area.

"Do you camp outside the room or something?" Rey asked sighing and turning back to look at her.

"Nop. I just recognize how you blush when you've been caught" She winked.

"Come on, once again, I saved you some food" she said walking past Rey.

Rey was still not sure if she wanted to slap her or hug her for always messing with her.

"Rey. You got up late. Whatever, I wanted to show you that we did got a signal from here and a tip that someone on Castilon saw the symbol on that troopers helmet" Poe said taking Rey from the eating area to the control zone.

"And you believe them?" she asked taking another spoonful of her breakfast.

"Yes ,Rey. This time I think we're in the right place" Finn answered instead.

She sighed. If they were wrong this would be the sixth planet they visited with no success.

"That's what I told her too" Rey heard Ben's voice behind her and handed him another bowl of food without turning around.
