Marrying Ben... being a family.
She hadn't even had a family of her own when she was a kid... so how would marriage be like?
"You don't have to answer right now... if you don't want to, but, I wanted you to know. I love you Rey, and I'll be by your side always, to help you in any way I can, and if any time you get sick of me... then I'll understand and leave you alone" Ben hurried to explain.
Rey's hand was still above his heart, and slowly but surely she slid it up to his neck and gently rubbed it.
"I do... I want to marry you, Ben" she said smiling, soon Ben smiled too, they pulled each other close and merged in one of the most pationate kisses they've ever shared.
Ben was gentle, and strong, not only when kissing her but with her, and she felt safe with him.
"I won't..." Rey murmured through the kiss.
"You won't what?" Ben leaned back a little to look at her.
"I won't get tired of you. I love you" she declared, she was sure and wanted him to be sure about it too. She loved it when he kissed her again.
If their bond was visible, it'll look like a shining thing, coming from them, from their souls... pulsing and connecting them, making them shine and vibrate together in something that could only be described as beautiful.
After all, they were the Dyad. Two that are one.
And they completed each other perfectly. Without the other half... they'll never shine the same again.
The couple stayed outside, hands binded and their heads close, talking and wondering about the future. A future that promised bright things for them and suddenly Rey wasn't that scared anymore.
"I got this in Serenno, it was one of the places I visited last and... you could wear as a promise... I don't know, that I'm here and we're getting married. Also no one else would know what it means if you don't want to." Ben said taking something out the pocket of his robe.
It was a bracelet, Rey could see it reflecting the moon light.
She offered her hand out and Ben took his time sliding it into her hand.
It was beautiful, a gold, open bangle bracelet with two tear shaped black jewels on each end and rimmed with diamonds.
"Ben... you shouldn't have, you thought about it giving it to me like this when you got it?" she teased.
"Well, I wasn't sure, but I did want to get it for you" he shrugged.
"Thanks, it's beautiful. And... I think it may be fun if we keep this to ourselves for a while. They're going to be all over us any way and having this only for us... I like it" there was something trilling on keeping a secret, Rey tought.
She was excited that she and Ben would be the only ones to know, at least for a while.
"Just remember not to mention him" The queen said before Rey, Ben, Poe and Chewie got inside the meeting room, where all the other kings and queens were waiting for her.
"Sure" Rey said, but in her mind she had already decided that she'll tell them, giving them their last chance to back out.
"Good evening" Rey greeted everyone.
"Good evening" a chorus of voices said back to her.
"Well, as I told you yesterday on our hologram meeting, Rey has finally accepted to rule the galaxy, for one year and following our... suggestions" Queen Zorya said.
