Keep It (My Heart, that is) // StormPilot/FinnPoe One-Shots

First Time (Mature Content)

{This one-shot is set between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. It's Finn and Poe's first time together, but it's also Finn's first time ever.}

"The Falcon team will have three days off to rest." Leia announced to the team once the debriefing was over. Poe stood up to argue.

"But General, we can keep going–"

"No, Poe. All of you need to take some time to rest and relax. If we need you, we will send you out, but you all need to sleep, relax, eat a real meal." Leia concluded the meeting and left to her chambers without hearing any more arguments. BB-8 chirped happily.

"Yes, BB-8, you're right. Let's go give you an oil bath." Rey and BB-8 departed the meeting room, and Chewie followed them out, leaving Poe and Finn.

"Poe..."

"This is a huge slap in the face," Poe grumbled. "We can keep fighting, keep running missions, keep going."

"We can, Poe, but that doesn't mean that we should. If we keep going without time to rest, then we're going to run out of energy. Leia is doing this so that we can recharge and come back even stronger than before," Finn put one of his hands over Poe's. "You deserve this rest more than anyone. I haven't seen you sleep a full night since... ever." Finn took his other hand and placed it on Poe's cheek, pulling the older man to look at him. "Besides... maybe now is the time." Poe's eyes widened.

"You mean it, Finn?" He asked. "Are you sure that you're ready for this, though? I've been doing my best to not push you..."

"Who knows when we'll get a chance like this again?" He brought Poe's hand up to his lips and kissed his knuckles. "I'm ready, Poe. I know you'll take good care of me."

"Of course I will, Finn."

The cantina was bustling with energy. Poe and Finn were sitting at their usual table with Rose and Connix. Poe was a ball of nerves, his leg shaking under the table as they all ate their meals. Rose raised an eyebrow, looking curiously between the two men.

"Alright, what's going on, boys?" She asked, crossing her arms.

"Poe and I are going to– mmblerg!"

"Nothing. Nothing is going on." Poe insisted, covering Finn's mouth with his hand. "It's just weird to have a few days off from missions is all, and we both feel like we are sitting ducks." Finn grumbled next to him and focused on his food.

"Riiiight," Connix smirked. "From what I heard, the only one complaining about the time off is you, Poe."

"Finn agrees. Right, buddy?" Poe nudged Finn with his elbow. Finn grumbled in agreement, eyes down. "But, yeah, I could definitely use a nice long rest, some relaxing activities."

"Relaxing activities, like, what?" Connix inquired.

"Like... giving BB-8 an oil bath!" Poe suggested.

"You mean like the one Rey gave to him earlier today?" Rose asked. "Seriously, you two, what is going on??" Finn glanced over at Poe, looking sour.

"Ugh, fine." Poe groaned. "Finn and I are going to... well. It'll be our first time..."

"Okay, I take it back, I don't want to know!!" Connix shrieked, covering her ears. Rose giggled, covering her mouth.

"Yeah, that's enough detail." She shook her head. "It's nothing to be ashamed of, Poe. Especially since you don't know when you'll have a chance to after this break is over."
