your POV
the next morning i walk out of my room and collide right into the large chest of ben.

"shit, sorry!" i squeak out while looking up at his amused and sleepy face. he must have just woken up.

"it's alright" he assures with a chuckle. after we both freshen up and eat breakfast, i turn to him.

"so, if you're literally from another galaxy like you really say you are, i'm guessing you've got no money."

"uhm no i don't think so."

"well we're gonna get you some more clothes today if you're down, but eventually you'll have to get a job somewhere."

"okay" he smiles softly, my face unintentionally heating up in response, which i'm sure he noticed.

"cool! i'm using the restroom, when i come back we can head out"

once washing my hands, i hear a startled shout from the kitchen.

"oh shit" i mumble, rushing down the hall to see what the matter was.

"what's wrong!?" i ask, my eyes scanning over ben who was standing up and staring daggers into my cat, who was innocently sitting on the floor.

"what is that!?" his eyes dart between me and my cat, confusion washing over his alarmed face as my giggling filled the room.

"you mean my cat??" i respond, amusement evident in my voice as i pick her up.

"this is snickers, she's harmless" i laugh, walking over to him so he can run a cautious hand through her fur.

"see? and look she likes you!! " i swoon while she licks bens hand through soft purrs. i catch the soft smile on his face before she jumps out of my arms and goes off to do whatever.

after a short but peaceful walk, we were in the busier part of new york.

"wow. this is nothing like my old home." he mumbles to me.

"i bet not. oh and i'm just warning you now, people around here can get really rude. just let it slide instead of causing a problem and having to possibly do jail time."

"okay i can do that" ben responds, looking down at me. as if on cue, a mans shoulder collides with bens.

"watch it, asshole!" the man shouts over his shoulder but continues to walk. ben immediately turns around, anger evident in his eyes as he raises his hand up towards the man, intending to use the force on him.

"ben- stop!" i whisper shout, my hand landing on his arm which seems to snap him out of his angry trance.

"sorry-sorry" he looks ashamed as he slowly lowers his arm.

"it's alright, you'll get the hang of it eventually" i shrug, smiling up at him. he smiles back but the glint of anger still remained in his eyes.

after a few hours of shopping, and introducing ben to mc donalds, we were both ready to head home. and luckily ben didn't seem so mad anymore.

"hey, thank you YN. for giving me a place to stay and buying me clothes. you know you didn't have to do this." ben says, stopping and turning towards me. i blush as he wraps his arms around me, his body literally engulfing mine. butterflies arose in my stomach as i came to the realization:

i had feelings for ben solo.

"of course! really, it's nothing don't worry about it. now cmon solo, i'm tired" i smile, playfully shoving him to which he responds way to dramatically.

at home

i let out a groan of relief as i sink into the couch next to ben, we weren't even a foot apart now. after the day spent together, we bonded a lot, making me feel comfortable, even safe with him.
oh god.
i really do have feelings for him.
already though?
we just met a little over a day ago.
i'm being ridiculous.
but i had to rant somewhere or else i'm afraid i might explode.

the only thing i could think of doing was writing down how i felt. i excuse myself to my room, opening my little notebook that sits on my nightstand, quickly scribbling down all my feelings word for word onto the paper. the timing was almost perfect, the book slamming closed just as ben walked- or more like barged into my room. he glances down at my book confused,  before looking back to me.

"what are you doing?" he asks.

"wow so much for privacy, i was getting changed" i tell him with a laugh. he seems to let the subject of my journal slide,

" sorry for barging in, YN. wanna watch a movie though?" he asks with a small blush. was he nervous?

"it's alright solo. and sure" i smile, jumping up and running past him to grab snacks and blankets before plopping down on the couch again.

apparently, movies just aren't our thing, as we ended up both dozing off accidentally on the couch.

the next morning, i wake up to a start. my eyes fly open, realizing me and ben were literally cuddling on the couch, his arm was slung over my shoulder, my arm rested on his abdomen. my head was resting on his chest. well, this would be embarrassing if he woke up right now, AND not to mention i was going to be late for work.

"shiit!" i whisper, quickly but quietly jumping up so  i don't wake ben. after getting ready, i scribble down a note and leave it on the counter.
it read

"hey solo, ive headed to work. i'll be back soon, don't dont do anything crazy and be nice to the cat! see ya later
- YN"

bens POV

my eyes flutter open to the sound of purring. i glance down, seeing a ball of fur sleeping on my chest.

"uhh, shoo!" i whisper to no avail. after a few minutes of working up the courage, i carefully place my hands around the cat, lifting her up off of me so i can get up before putting her back down. okay, not so bad.

"YN?" i call out, realizing the house is empty. i hum in understanding as i read the note, chuckling to myself quietly at it.
after breakfast and getting changed, i found myself bored.
i suppose YN wouldn't mind if i snooped in her room a little. right?

slowly, i push the door open. her room was average looking, nothing special, until that book caught my eye.
what was she writing yesterday that she seemed so secretive about?
i think back to yesterday, the curiosity getting the best of me as i pad over to the book, picking it up and skimming through the pages.
i read some here and there, until i got to the one i was looking for. turns out what she was writing yesterday was about me.

dear diary
i cant even believe i'm writing this down right now. i've only known him a day, but it's felt like i've known him forever. i know, it's creepy to have feelings for someone you just met but he's different. ben is different. i feel like we're almost meant to be. us meeting couldn't have been a coincidence right? it has to mean something. it HAS to. and not to mention ben's sweet and funny and cute and-

that's where it cut off, when i barged in yesterday.
my heart seems to be trying to leap out of my chest as i re read the pages over and over and over.

turns out, the feeling is mutual.
