Krennic's Fate

We're dead to the Empire.

You slept through the night and so did he. You both woke up in the morning, you with a groan, him with a sigh.

"I'll get you your meds baby." You nodded softly and sighed.

He got up and grabbed your meds and a glass of water for you. You took them and smiled softly at him.

"We have a day of travel today love. We're going to Scarif." You went wide-eyed.

"No. I can't protect you like this. No. Orson I will not loose you." You panicked a bit.

"It'll be alright love. I'll have a few Troopers stay in the shuttle with you. If the Death Star emerges from hyperspace there, they will immediately come to me. You just need to stay awake enough to sense me. Keep your focus on me. You can sleep on the way." You nodded softly.

"Okay." You weren't fully convinced.

He helped you up carefully and got you dressed. He didn't put you in uniform. He gave you one of his undershirts and a pair of your workout leggings. And to top it off, he gave you an extra one of his capes to use as a blanket. That suprised you and comforted you the most.

"Thank you Orson." You smiled softly at him.

"Of course my love. I know how you like to curl into my side and pull my cape tight around you when you're cold and upset." You blushed and he smiled and chuckled softly.

"It makes me feel better that you gave this to me." You smiled as you held the folded cape close.

"Good. I wanted it too." He smiled and kissed your forehead. "Okay. Come on, we have to go now. Lean on me love."

You did as you limped over to him. Your leg still ached. You used him as a crutch the whole way down. He used hallways that are often empty to avoid people and it worked. You both got on his shuttle and his Troopers were ready to go. He sat down in the back and held you close.

That's when you unfolded his cape and used it as a blanket. You wrapped it around yourself as you were in his lap and curled into his chest, he also used his own cape to wrap around you a little bit more.

You smiled and managed to fall asleep in his arms. You weren't sure how much longer you'd be able to enjoy being curled into him, so you were doing it as much as possible. You didn't want to loose him but you were afraid that you will.

You slept the entire trip to Scarif. When you landed, he woke you up. "We're here love. Time to wake up."

You smiled softly at the sound of his voice. "Oh. Okay."

"I have to go now love." He sighed softly.

"Orson. Wait." Were you really about to do this? Yes you were. "I love you with all of my heart and body. I don't care that you're older than me, I love you. I love you so kriffing much. Orson, I want to marry you. I want to have your babies. I want to be yours forever." You sighed softly. "Normally you're supposed to ask me this question, but I'm fucking terrified that I may never see you again. Orson, will you marry me?"

He just looked at you for a moment. You panicked internally. "I love you too. Just as much if not more. You will see me again, and we will get married and have kids. Yes, (y/n). I'll marry you. I'd be honored to marry you."

You both smiled wide and you wrapped around him tightly. "I don't have a ring or anything." You chuckled softly. You did, but it was your mother's and you wore it around your neck. You didn't want to use it, nor did it fit any of your fingers. It was too small.

"That's okay. For now it'll be the cape. When I get back, we'll find something more suitable." You nodded softly and smiled.

"Okay. I love you so much Orson." You didn't want to let go of him.
