"What's this one from?" Poe asked you as he ran his fingers gently of the long scar on your back. You shivered are his touch.
"A piece of shrapnel cut me when I got in a crash a few years ago." You mumbled as you enjoyed the feeling of his fingers on your bare back.
"And this one?" He touch one on your shoulder.
"Blaster wound."
"What about here?" One on your lower back. It was a burn scar, almost like a brand.
"I backed into a bike that's engine was still hot." Poe chuckled. You turned to face him with a small smile on your face.
He continued to ask about many other scars that you had. You prayed that he wouldn't ask about the ones on your legs, but your prayers had failed to be heard. His hand brushed over the spiderwebbed looking burn scar on your thigh.
"That one was also from my crash. Got burned pretty bad."
"That must've been a pretty bad crash." Poe inferred. You nodded.
"I was scared to fly for a while after that crash. Didn't really get back into it until a few months before you joined the rebellion."
"And uh, what about these?" He touched the lines that were just below your hips. You sighed and rested your forehead on his, closing your eyes.
"Those were me."
"What?" Poe questioned, gripping your waist tightly.
"I did those."
"Y/N..."
"I don't do it anymore, it was a rough patch in my life. I've moved on from it, but every tough battle leaves it's scars."
"How long has it been?" You opened your eyes and studied your boyfriend's face.
"It's been 3 months since my last cut." You answered honestly. You moved his hand down the scar that was closest to your waist.
"This was the last one."
"3 months?" Poe asked. You nodded and he sat up. He furrowed his eyebrows and played with your fingers. He was deep in thought.
"We started dating 3 months ago." He stated. He then looked down at you expectantly. You smiled at him softly and sat up as well.
"You've helped me. Everything became so much brighter when you entered my life." Poe pulled you close to him and hugged you tightly.
"I'm sorry that I didn't come sooner." He whispered in your ear.
"But you're here now. You've helped me more than you could ever imagine Poe. That's all I need from you."
"All you need?"
"Well I mean, you are pretty good at kissing, but that's not the point I was trying to make." He laughed at your comment and kissed you deeply.
"Those are the best ones." You breathed out after the two of you pulled apart. Poe smiled and rubbed your arms soothingly.
"Promise me you won't ever cut again." He mumbled into your hair.
"As long as you're with me, I won't."
"Well then, I'm never leaving your side. Ever."
