Star Wars Imagines

Promise Reforged(Kylo Ren/Rey)

Hey, everyone! This is a part 2 to Promise Broken, which was kinda a part 2 of an earlier chapter. I guess this kind of makes this the third in the series. Okay, enjoy!

You woke up to a knock on your door. Poe poked his head in your room. "Hey, Sis," he said. "How 'bout a walk." You nodded.

"I'll be out in a minute." You got up and threw on some clothes, then ran a comb through your hair. Kylo Ren's shirt had gone from a sorry of weird teddy bear to a sleep shirt. You missed him so much it hurt. But, his ghost was always there when you needed him. It was nice.

You met Poe out in the hall and took his arm. Technically, you were a prisoner until everything was sorted out and you were tried, but you were allowed to walk around as long as you had a guard. It was a nice day, perfect for a walk. You enjoyed yourself. Until you ran into Rey.

It had been hard to look at her since Kylo died. She had kissed him right before, and although he had pushed her away, you still saw the moment in your dreams and felt your shattered heart trying to piece itself together when you woke up. Despite his reassurances, you still wondered if her feelings for him weren't reciprocated at least a little bit.

Much to your dismay, Poe stopped to chat with her. He kept trying to drag you into the conversation, but you dodged his questions easily. Eventually, he stopped, and you tuned them out.

"How are you holding up," Rey asked you suddenly.

"I'm sorry?" You didn't want to talk to her.

"Ben's death has been hard on us all. I was just wondering if you were alright."

"I'm fine," you said coldly. "Kylo would want me to celebrate his life, instead of mourning his death."

"You don't have to hide," Rey said. "You can talk to me--" You laugh bitterly.

"Sure. I'll share my feelings with the woman who took him from me."

"Why are you acting like this," she finally screamed. "I'm the one who should hate you. You're the one he loved, not me."

"If I'm the one he loved, how come you're the one he died to save?" Poe and Rey are both silent. You turned and walked back to your room. You laid in bed for the rest of the day. You refused to answer the door when Poe came to check on you. You didn't want to talk to anyone. You didn't even let Kylo's ghost pet your hair.

The next morning, Rey knocked on the door and entered without asking. You were turned away from her. She sat on the edge of your bed and looked over at you.

"Is that his shirt?" You just hugged it tighter. The night before, Kylo's shirt had regressed to a teddy bear, but you needed it's comfort. Rey sighed. "Listen, I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't think about how you felt about me. I just thought....." She sighed again. "I'm sorry, (Y/N). I won't bring the issue up again, I promise." You rolled over. You felt bad about the other day.

"Rey.... I'm sorry for snapping. I just.... I haven't been able to get the kiss out of my mind. Kylo told me there was nothing between you two, but....." You took a deep breath. "It's hard." Rey nodded and got up to leave. "Rey...." She looked at you, a blank expression on her face. "Would you like to have coffee sometime? So we can talk about him?" Rey smiled a real, true smile.

"Yes," she said. "I'd like that very much."

Over the next two weeks, you two had many coffee dates to talk about Kylo Ben and sort your feelings out. You introduced her to Kylo's ghost. She took you to the spot where he had appeared to her shirtless, and the one where their hands touched. And together, you two healed enough to hang out as friends, then eventually hold hands or share a kiss from time to time. And Kylo's ghost showed up less and less, until he left to join his family. Soon, you were even able to put away his shirt. Forever.
