Hostage - Boba Fett x Reader

CHAPTER 14

I was sitting on the floor of the cockpit, leaning my back against the wall as I hummed to myself. I busied myself with cleaning my helmet, waiting for Boba to return from wherever he had gone in the ship. I knew the matte paint would chip away and give the helmet a more badass look eventually, I just had to go on more missions with Boba. His helmet was all dented and scuffed up from all the adventures he had been on. I looked up from my helmet as Boba came back into the cockpit again.

"What are you doing on the floor?"

I shrugged.

"The chair was uncomfortable."

"And the floor is better?"

He sat down next to me, letting out a deep sigh.

"How long until we reach Naboo?"

"Probably a little over an hour."

Time would go faster if I was asleep, but I found that I wasn't tired at all. I leaned to the side and rested against Boba's arm.

"Are you tired?"

"No."

He patted my head.

"Hey Boba?"

"Hmm?"

I thought out my next words carefully.

"Why did you kiss me?"

He stiffened a bit.

"I don't know..."

My heart sank a bit.

"... I'm sorry if you didn't like it, I should've-"

"No, no, it was nice."

He relaxed a bit.

"Sorry if it was too much."

"No, it's really fine. Thank you."

'Why the Hoth did I just say thank you?'

He shifted and wrapped his arm around me, leaning me more against his chest.

"I think I like you. But, I mean, not as a friend."

I could hear his heart racing through his chest armor and I knew mine had to be racing as well.

"I like you too, Boba."

It was silent for a few moments, as we were unsure of how to go on from here.

"So... do you want to be together?"

I sat up and looked at him.

"Like in a relationship?"

He nodded.

"Yeah, like a relationship."

I quickly nodded my head.

"I would love to!"

I realised I was being a bit weird and told myself to calm down. Boba chucked.

"You get excited so easily around me."

I blushed.

"You're exciting."
