Star Wars One-Shots

Chapter XVII - Jealousy

It takes a lot for Rey to get jealous but when it happens, you'd hate to be on the receiving end of her green-eyed monster. You and Rey have a very honest and open relationship. You care for one another deeply, so deeply that you would willingly kill and die for the other. The two of you have endured so much and you can't see your life without each other in it. You are very protective of one another and there are certain situations where one of you is more protective and tonight just happens to be one of those times where Rey is extremely protective over you.

You are currently in the midst of a party that the Resistance has thrown. A team of rebels had successfully infiltrated the First Order's star destroyer and ultimately, crippled them, which buys you time for your next attack and time to plan your own against them. It was a dangerous mission and the team decided to celebrate. At the moment, Rey is out gathering parts of the Falcon, which can be only located and purchased on some merchant planet.

She offered you to go with her but you decided to stay, needing to fix up some space crafts and prepare for tomorrow's mission. In your place, Rey took Finn and Chewbacca and you felt comfortable knowing that she had them to protect her if they ran into trouble. Rey can take care of herself but you still find comfort in the thought of her having someone by her side just in case. That's just the protectiveness in you, you know it is but you don't view it as a negative.

The party is fun and lively, filled with music, food, and drinks and you make the most of it but you wish Rey was with you. You and Rey do pretty much everything together so it's a bit of a buzzkill not having her around. You hope that she returns soon. The night is progressing and you don't want her to miss out on the fun. She's been put under a lot of pressure lately so it's important for her to loosen up and relax.

"You're not joining in?"

You're startled when a fellow rebel sits next to you and you're quite taken aback by her beauty. She has golden hair, bright, blue eyes, and asymmetrical smile. She's beautiful but she doesn't hold a candle to Rey. You have come across many beautiful people in your travels and some have been rather intimidating but every time you look at Rey, you see home, comfort, and love. The thought of being with someone else makes your stomach knot and heart sink. Rey is the only one for you and there's no disputing that.

"I've had some fun already," you answer casually, sipping on your beverage.

"Oh, come on! It's a party! You don't stop until the party stops. I'm sorry but I can't let such a beautiful human sit here by themselves while everyone else is having the time of their lives. Come on!"

Before you can protest, the woman grabs your hands and yanks you to your feet. She pulls you behind her, spins you around, and begins dancing and credit to her, she's an adept dancer. She gets straight into the music, feeling the beat and let it take her over. She encourages you to dance but you hesitate until she pulls you forward and shows you what do to. You're no stranger to dancing. You and Rey dance all the time but doing it with someone else is foreign to you but you know that this woman won't release you unless you start dancing, so you mimic her.

"That's it! There you go!" She beams and you chuckle.

To your own bewilderment, you end up having fun with the woman. You loosen up and dance your worries away and you feel as if the galaxy is at peace. You wish it truly was but you're not going to let the harsh, provoking, and unforgiving reality change that for you right now. You're having fun for the first time in a long time so you're going to cherish it while you can.

"Wow, you can really move!" The woman states.

"This isn't my first time," you confess, raising your voice a little so she can hear you over the music.
