Din hands me the bowl of the purple Jorgan fruit, "Why thank you," I say.
Din hasn't let me leave the bed even though my wound is basically healed. The kid lays beside me not wanting to leave my side. Din sits at the end of the cot he placed a gloved hand on my ankle and rubs circles. "How's you're head?"
The bacta shot has a lot of after-effects. The main one being headaches. When you take it you feel this high but coming down sucks.
"Still hurts." I feel the throbbing in my head. I take another bite of the fruit humming at the taste.
"Good?" Din asks with humor in his voice.
"Stars yes. My sister and I used to eat boxes of these in like two days." I smile thinking about how much we used to eat the fruit.
"Never had it."
Now, this shocks me, "You've never had jorgan fruit?!"
He chuckles shaking his head, "Nope."
"Turn off the light take off the helmet you're trying this." He laughs again without moving. "Din I'm serious." He sighs before getting up and turning off the light. My eyes adjust to the sudden darkness while the kid laughs beside me.
I feel the cot dip as he sits down and the sound of the hiss that signals his helmet has been removed. I scoot closer to him with the bowl still in my lap. I place my hand on the side of his face feeling the roughness of his scruff. I take a second to rub my thumb on the curve of this nose, "I love your nose." I place a soft kiss on the tip of his nose before kissing his lips.
I can actually feel his face heat up knowing I made him blush. "The fruit Riddur," he reminds me.
"Right sorry I get distracted easily."
I feel him smile before saying, "I know."
"Shut up," I say with a laugh. I reach down into the bowl of fruit and grab a piece, "Ready?" I can feel his head nod. I bring the fruit up to his lips. He takes a bite of the fruit humming at the taste, "Good?"
He swallows the fruit, "I see why you like it so much." Before I can answer he takes advantage of his helmet being gone and kisses me.

"No."
"Why not?"
"I'm not fighting you Aurora."
"It wouldn't be fighting it would be training." He just sighs at me. We stopped at a small backwater planet to lay low before we drop off the bounties at Navarro.
The planet is nice the weather is perfect and trees surround us keeping the razor crest hidden. The kid splashes around in a tiny puddle with a frog I'm sure he's planning to eat later today. He splashed water at Din's boots, Din looks at the kid and the kid just giggles and babbles to him.
He turns back to me, "The beskar would hurt you."
"Then take it off." He just sighs at me again, "What are you scared I'm gonna kick your ass?" I say playfully.
He scoffs. He has the audacity to scoff at me, "You're not gonna beat me."
"Bet you I can. You said before I could," I remind him of that night on canto bright.
"I was trying to flirt with you."
"That was your way of flirting?" That was how this tin can decided to flirt with me?
"It worked didn't it?"
"Oh, whatever I could still kick your ass, target practice." I know the nickname isn't his favorite my use of his obviously irritates him.
"You're not gonna drop this are you?"
"Do I ever?"
He titles his head thinking about it. He sighs again. Then he begins to take off his armor. "I'm not gonna go easy on you," he says taking off his knee pads.
"Neither will I."
His armor now lays in the grass, "Ready cyar'ika?" he practically taunts me.
"Ready when you are."
Both of us get into a fighting stance. I know he's not going to make the first move but I also know the second I do he'll block it.
I go to swing my fist at his chest while his attention turns to my hand I knee him in the gut. He stumbles back and I know he's fuming at the fact that I tricked him.
"Oh so that's how we're playing." Yeah he's mad. He goes to punch me but I'm able to dodge it.
Every single punch or kick gets blocked. We're both out of breathe and tired but our stubbornness won't let this end until one of his is victorious.
He seems to be more exhausted then I am. He catches another one of my punches instead of pulling my hand back I take the chance of him being distracted to swipe his legs making him fall to the ground pulling me down with him.
Both of us fall to the ground with a thud. I land on top of him. He groans in pain due to hitting the group and me landing on him. I pin his wrist down and I smile in victory, "Looks like I can kick your ass." He flips us over easily. Now he's on top and my wrist are pinned.
"Only cause I let you." I try to fight out of his grip but he only tightness it.
"You're only saying that cause you lost so bad." Just as he was going to say something which I'm sure was some dry joke we hear the kid cry.
He lets go of my wrist standing up holding his hand out to help me up. I take it, standing up, and walking over to where my kid is.
I find him face down in the dirt probably feel over from chasing a frog. I pick him up and I take the end of my shirt rubbing off the dirt from his face. "Did the frog out run you?" He just looks at me with his big eyes more tears threatening to spill, "C'mon lets get you food that won't run away huh?" He babbles at this and I take him instead with Din trailing behind.
-
I put the kid down for the night meaning Din and I get some piece of quiet.
I walk into mine and Dins little room. I see him laying on the bed in shorts and his helmet.
"You should dress like this more often." I turn off the light and I carefully climb into bed beside him. He takes of his helmet and pulls me into his chest
"I'm sure you would love that."
"I would very much like it."
"I can't believe you kicked my ass today."
"Of course I did."
"It was kinda hot." I roll my eyes, smiling at his compliment.
"I love you Din." I close my eyes slowly drifting off to sleep.
Before I'm fully asleep I hear, "I love you too Riddur."
