Discovery (Rey X Solo!Reader)
Summary: You take the time after the war to bring Rey to Naboo, one of the greenest places in the galaxy. It isn’t hard for you to understand why it was here, of all places, that your grandparents fell in love. The apple apparently doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Requested by Anon: I don’t know much about Star Wars lmao but I think Rey is neat. Can I get a Rey/Reader please? Something fluffy!
Key: (Y/N) - your name Warnings: holy FUCK this is fluffy anon what have you DONE, finnpoe is only background :(, some self deprecation, mentions of character death, unfortunately it follows canon plot but just ignore it and it doesn’t exist, mention of K*lo R*n Word Count: 1,944
Note: u dont know how much strength it took to not put Jar Jar in this fic just because also WOW holy fuck this is so fluffy i think i choked. Oh also please tell me if that idiom in the summary is wrong because growing up bilingual means I Don’t Get Them. anyway sorry i’ve been inactive things have been...wack.
“I didn’t know there was this much green in the whole galaxy,” she’d said when you met her what felt like forever ago.
It broke your heart.
Your father later said that he could see it in your eyes. You’d spent your whole life travelling the galaxy, experiencing its every wonder, and there was Rey, who had never been off Jakku in her entire life.
You wanted, at that moment, to drag her back into the Millenium Falcon, point at a map, and tell her to pick a place, any place. More than anything, you wanted to show Rey every corner of the universe, every sand-free planet or moon that you could possibly find.
The pity the woman thought she saw in your eyes was much more than that; it was horror, despair at what she had missed.
You eventually settled for showing her Takodana and D’Qar, after your father was killed, but it never sat right with you. The more you got to know Rey and the longer the war dragged on, the more you wanted to give her the infinite freedom she so desperately deserved.
To put it simply, you wanted nothing less than to hand her the galaxy on a silver platter.
It wasn’t until the war was over that you finally had the opportunity to do so.
You and Rey were still travelling with Finn, Poe, Chewie, BB-8, and D-0, as you had since the end of the war. With their help, it was easy to surprise her.
Carefully, you led her down the Falcon’s boarding platform and onto solid ground. Poe had lovingly donated his jacket to be a blindfold, in order to keep Rey completely in the dark. Luckily, the Force wouldn’t tell her where she was-- it didn’t work like that.
“I’m not great with surprises,” she warned, gripping your arm tightly.
“You’ll love this one, I promise. Now, take off your shoes.”
“What?”
“Just trust me,” you laughed, having already discarded your own.
You watched with pure childlike glee as her feet met soft grass. She wiggled her toes about in the dirt, a smile coming to her face. Sure, D’Qar had gotten her used to grass rather than sand, but you were almost certain she’d never taken a moment to go barefoot in it.
“Grass?” She asked hesitantly. “Where are we?”
“Only the prettiest planet in the galaxy,” you teased, already reaching forward to pull the jacket from her face. “Welcome to Naboo.”
When the jacket came off, Rey found herself gaping-- as soon as she’d gotten used to the brightness of a sunny day on Naboo. You’d landed in the middle of a great, grassy field near the edge of a cliff. A waterfall tumbled over the edge of that cliff from a stream, a feature that Naboo was well known for. You were pretty sure Rey had never seen one of those-- something you had to correct.
*“(Y/N)--” she breathed out, gawking. “I don’t-- I don’t know what to say.”
You laughed a little. “Neither did I, the first time my mom brought me here. I spent days exploring.”
“It’s so...alive,” she said, reaching down to feel the grass.
She meant in the Force, though even the least Force-sensitive person could probably see how alive it was. Naboo was an explosion of light and life, even for those not strong in the Living Force, and could be overwhelming for those who were.
“C’mon,” you called to her with a smile, holding out your hand. “I know the best place to take it all in.”
Her lips twitched up into a grin, one of the brightest you’d ever seen from her. Her eyes shined as she reached out, taking your hand in hers and squeezing it as she stood back up. With her free hand, Rey tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and opened her mouth to say something-- but a shout from the Falcon interrupted her.
“Have fun, lovebirds!” Poe called with a devilish smirk, waving the two of you onward.
You shot the man a rude gesture that made him cackle. Rey turned bright red, an adorable look on her, you thought, as Poe was dragged back into the ship by Finn, who chewed him out the whole way-- fondly, though.
(Bittersweetness struck you at the memory of your mother laughing her ass off at the fact that both of her children, blood or otherwise, were head over heels for Force-sensitives.)
Rolling your eyes, you dragged Rey along through the field at a near sprint. Her musical laughter in your ear made you run faster and hold her hand tighter. The breeze swept up both of your robes and hair, completely ruining your venerated Jedi facade that Rey had insisted upon since getting lightsabers, which you both wore on belts, though they swung wildly now. If your father could see you right now, he would be so, so proud. Uncle Luke would probably cry.
At the very edge of the cliff, by the waterfall, you came to a skidding stop with a bark of laughter.
“Now, this is gonna sound crazy--”
Rey scoffed. “You always sound crazy.”
“Aw, thanks,” you said, heavy with sarcasm before continuing. “Uncle Luke told me stories about Jedi during the war, how they’d jump off cliffs without a second thought. Ben and I spent weeks practising how to cushion our falls, just so we could be like the old Jedi.”
Her eyes were wide. “You what?”
“Yep! And now it’s your turn!” you declared.
“What? (Y/N)--”
Before she could panic, you grabbed her hand again. “We’ll jump together and I’ll stop the fall. You’ll be completely safe.”
She bit her lip. “You’re sure about this?”
“Completely,” you reassured her. “Do you trust me?”
Despite herself and her growing fear, Rey smiled. “I do.”
“Great! On three.”
“One.”
“Two.”
“Three!” the two of you shouted together, racing toward the edge of the cliff.
Rey was immediately screaming, out of terror at first, but as you tucked her against your side, holding her close against the resistance, the shriek turned into an exhilarated one. You let out a joyful whoop as you went down, Rey’s face buried in the crook of your neck, which only elated you further.
As the ground grew closer, you pulled on the Force and the two of you touched ground gently, as if you’d never fallen at all.
Rey didn’t pull away, but laughed gleefully. “That--” she gasped, breathless, “--was amazing.”
“Wasn’t it?” you asked, grinning. Then you pointed at the horizon ahead. “But the view’s even better.”
She followed your gesture and froze.
You were standing on another lush, grass-covered cliffside, as the waterfall tumbled onto a layered terrain, almost like massive steps. After another two layers, the falls gathered into a lake that stretched out for miles. Surrounding the lake were other cliffs with their own waterfalls, towering trees, and blankets of flora. And in the sky, the sun was nearing the horizon, painting the world in pinks and purples and oranges.
“Sweet Force,” she whispered.
Your gaze shifted to the woman next to you. You wore a smile that would make Chewie gag.
The light of the sunset fell gently on her features, outlining her face with an ethereal sort of glow. Her eyes reflected the sparkling water and the sun, a window into her soul and the flame of fierce bravery that you knew she always carried in it. Lips slightly parted in awe, Rey looked more beautiful now than you had ever seen her, watching something so simple, so unknown and taking a galaxy’s worth of joy from it.
You wanted to see that look on her face every day. You wanted to drag her across the galaxy and show her every corner of it, if only to watch her smile the way she was now.
“It’s beautiful,” she said in quiet awe and respect.
You exhaled sharply. “Yeah. You are.”
She didn’t process your words for a long moment, but when she did, her head snapped over to look at you and her eyes went wide. “(Y/N)...”
“Rey, can I-- can I tell you a story?”
She frowned, uncertain, but nodded. Before you could speak, she reached out and took your hand once more, sending a wave of warmth up your arm.
You smiled and took a deep breath. “When my grandmother was young, she was the Queen of Naboo and, after that, its Senator. My grandfather was a Jedi and-- and he was tasked with protecting her, so he brought her home, brought her here. She showed him everything about this planet: the sights, the people. He was already in love with her then, but it was here that, with nothing but them, the Force, and the life around them, that she realised she loved him back. He was a kid from Tatooine who had never seen anything like Naboo before and watching him discover something she loved so dearly, she just...knew.”
“Sounds familiar,” Rey said with a little laugh, her voice soft.
You echoed the noise before lifting her hand, bringing it to your lips and kissing her knuckles gently. “I have watched you come from nothing, seen you face down the most terrifying people in the galaxy and hardly blink. You terrify and amaze me, Rey, and I-- I think I’ve been in love with you for much longer than I thought.”
“Oh, (Y/N),” she breathed out. Turning to face you, she put her free hand on your cheek, caressing it with her thumb. “I’ve never-- well, I’ve never really...had anyone. Your family took me in and that-- that means the galaxy to me, having a family. You are so, so kind and so much more than I ever hoped for. I’m nothing. I don’t have anything, (Y/N), just this lightsaber. I don’t even have a name. How could you possibly love me?”
Unable to resist, you placed a fond kiss to the inside of her wrist. “Take mine.”
She blanked. “What?”
“You are not nothing. You are everything to me,” you told her firmly. “If you want more than that lightsaber, more than this family we have, take my name. It belongs to you...and so do I.”
Rey opened her mouth and then paused, unable to find words. Instead, she decided on an action.
She grabbed the collar of your robes and pulled your forward, slanting her mouth against yours. You did not squeak as she would claim later, but you did make a wordless noise. After a moment, you pulled her in close, slipping your arm around her waist.
For an innocent, young desert scrapper who had supposedly never kissed anyone before, she was damn good at it.
When you finally pulled away, you couldn’t help resting your forehead against hers.
(A Keldabe kiss, Aunt Ahsoka and Uncle Rex had called it. It was just as intimate as any regular kiss and meant so much more)
“Rey Organa-Solo has a ring to it,” you murmured against her lips.
She laughed, a sweet, song-like thing that melted your heart again. “Is that a proposal?”
“Definitely,” you said, kissing her again. It was soft, but sank into something deeper, the sort of kiss your father would say he and your mother shared after defying death yet again.
A fairytale moment in a fairytale place. And, technically speaking, you were royalty.
“I think,” Rey said when you finally let go again, “that we have a lot more to see.”
You grinned. “Naboo first, love. But after that, believe me, I’ll show you the galaxy.”
