Star Wars x Reader

Ben Solo x Reader - What you mean to me

Request: I have a Ben request.. so Ben returns to the light and comes back to the base w Rey and sees the reader and has a super fluffy moment because they were/are still lovers and yeah it's all cute but the reader thinks Ben lost feelings for her because he is hanging out w Rey(training if you want) and she gets heartbroken because she waited so long to see him again and ya know angst but then at the end it is fluffy and happy ! please redeem the ending 😂

A/N: So, this was quite a challenge to write, since it is such a large request (nothing wrong with that!), but I'm quite happy with the outcome. I turned Rey into some sort of matchmaker/negotiator, I hope that's okay. I'm really sorry for putting it off for so long, but I had a lot of work to do and I'm trying to catch up on the requests as much as I can. Thank you for sending something in and I hope that you have a wonderful day.

Pairing: Ben Solo x Reader

Summary: Ben returns to the base with Rey and reunites with the reader but his extensive training with Rey creates tension between him and the reader.

Warnings: Swear Words, kinda angsty, bitching around

Word count: 2.9K (ohhh boi, that was a long one)

Rey's ship landed on the soil of the base in front of a huge crowd of Rebels, all celebrating the enormous victory of the Rebellion. You stood next to Rose and Chewbacca, not able to believe what was going on right now. Still being lost in thought, Chewie wrapped his fuzzy hands around you and Rose, lifting you in the air with a content roar. Rose let out a giddy laugh and just enjoyed the moment.

"Would you believe that?" Poe's voice rang up from behind you. "Whose lost mongrel did you pick up?"

This made your head turn to look at who Rey would've brought with her and as you did your eyes grew wide. It was Ben Solo, the Ben Solo you knew since childhood. He was your best friend and partner before he went to train with his uncle to become a Jedi and later joined the First Order to become Kylo Ren. Your heart broke over this fact so many times before but you learned to live with it. You had to.

Seeing him stand there, without his black costume and the hideous mask made your heart flutter. Could it be that you had a chance to get him back? Did he still think of you as a friend or even as a lover? Or were you just another thing from his past that he chose to kill inside his mind? You heard him chuckle at something Rey said, who was guiding him closer to the group you were standing next to. His laughter sounded so natural without the voice modulator of his mask. It was a sound that you never even thought of hearing again.

Your eyes followed him, almost as if you were afraid to lose him, once he got out of your sight. But as you tried to look away his gaze locked with yours. His expression went from content to astonish and then ecstasy. With a small gesture to Rey, he parted from his previous group and came closer to you, beaming with joy. Even though he was looking highly pleased with the situation, you could still see that there was some guilt in his expression. He felt regretful for just leaving you like you never even mattered to him, which you knew that you did. And he felt guilty for becoming the monster you had the pleasure of never meeting in the first person.

Despite all these thoughts he still moved toward you, not knowing what to say or do, but still determined to finally see you again.

"Where's your mask? I thought you needed it to hide away from your moronic behavior?." Damn. You didn't mean to go off on him like that but all your bottled up emotions made it hard to have a normal conversation without being only mere inches from knocking him in the jaw.
