Healing Journal 06/21/24
Yesterday was a big day for me. I had to get a tooth pulled đ thankfully the oral surgeon and his assistant were both good at what they do and gentle. Uh, itâs still a little freaky as one is holding your head and the other has this little drill in their hand going into your mouth đ itâs straight out of a horror show hahaha but whatâs crazy, part of me was soooooo nervous but the other part of me almost doesnât feel pain because Iâve already felt so much pain from my past. Its almost like just another thing added to my list đ„șâ€ïžâđ©č
I thought the night Cody ghosted me, was the worst thing to happen to me⊠when I realized he had blocked me from everywhere, even his SoundCloud⊠idk how he did it so fast but one minute weâre still talking and the next, poof. Heâs gone forever. I fell to my knees in my room and my faced crashed onto my bed and I sobbed the whole night. Tissues filled my room as I felt so stupid and didnât understand why I wasnât enough for Cody.
That sucked beyond words and I didnât think anything could sting me worse than that but I was wrong. To then meet Andrew, fall in love and spend over a year with him, only to be told lie after lie⊠For him to keep promising me he wants me and constantly cries to me that he doesnât wanna break up but has other girls heâs with and sits with me during a suicide attack, insisting I need âprofessional helpâ that something is wrong with me⊠no, Iâm angry cuz you kept promising me you want me and you clearly donât. Youâre clearly lying to get my nudes. Plus the way he said âyouâre too beautiful to be depressedâ and then took advantage of me during a hard conversation!!! I guess he wasnât mature enough to handle my mental health. But also he was causing it too!!! I mean, I felt that man got pleasure out of my painâŠ. I could be wrong but donât think I am. đđđ but some reason I loved him and was sad for him and sad for Cody too.
Hurt people, usually are the ones who hurt others. Thatâs why Iâve been terrified to hurt my husband becuase I donât always feel anything and I feel fake when Iâm forcing it but I remind myself this isnât forever. At some point I have to feel something. When I met my husband, I knew he was soooo nice but I guess I had more of a guard up than I realized and the more Iâve learned about emotional abuse and manipulation, wow. I trust even less and yesterday was huge for me to trust that surgeon and his assistant. I prayed the whole time but I felt my legs shaking with nerves some haha Especially when the assistant said, âokay. Iâm gonna hold your head now.â Ahhhhhhh. He was nice though.
itâs not hard to tell when people are nice because of their jobs, nice in general or rude. I can see through people when I couldnât before. Itâs a gift I never asked for. Some folks I want to believe theyâre nice and yet I doubt it so much. I doubt my own self. đ„șâ€ïžâđ©č I abused my own self all those many years that I was addicted to porn and made myself watch it and I never saw anything normal or real. Itâs allllll fake but I often lied to myself as a teenager and tried to believe those people in porn could be in love. Ugh. Andrewâs behavior didnât shake me because of it but it should have. There was one night Andrew did say something too far and I told him no that he will never treat me that way EVER and I believe thatâs what started to the devaluation phase becuase I created the first boundary⊠hah
The world has always seemed so difficult and scary for me. Many many years I neglected my needs cuz I didn't love me. All my exes projected their own self hate on to me and made me hate myself too. Thatâs why I donât look in the mirror and canât say Iâm beautiful or good enough or happy. I just laugh at myself cuz life has been so dark. Only God has given me any kind of hope to be loved. Iâm trying so hard to not lose my faith. I donât wanna turn around and project all that on my husband and I fear I do. I fear talking to him about my feelings because Iâve been dismissed in every relationship before, I donât wanna go through that again.
I am getting through it all though, I dont believe im stuck and getting my tooth pulled to me felt like I am finally taking care of myself cuz it was a bad tooth and I didnât want it to get worse. Thereâs other things I need to take care of too but no one is perfect đ„ș my exes arenât perfect either and I hope theyâre working on themselves too idk though. â€ïžâđ©čâ€ïžâđ©čâ€ïžâđ©čâ€ïžâđ©čâ€ïžâđ©čâ€ïžâđ©č I WILL get better. One day it wont hurt so much anymore and I know all of this is making me stronger but I donât love it yet đ„ș

Okay, so remember that thing I said last chapter where I was angry at him and he needed to earn my forgiveness? WellâI lied. I didnât know I was lying at the time, but fuck if I didnât feel for him in this.
You managed to shatter my heart into a million pieces and put me back together all in the same chapter.
Oh god, heâs dreaming of his mother? đ„ș Din baby, Iâm so sorry about everything I said. The pain and grief he feels is so visceral and raw. The pain this man carries with him everyday hurts me and Iâm not even him.
âHe knows what youâre thinking, he can see it in the guard youâve encased yourself withâ your glass walls, your glass house. Transparent but impenetrable, Din can only look. A spectator, watching as you go about your routinesâ a stranger on the outside.â Jesus, these babies are both damaged so much on the inside and I just want them to collide into the safety of each other. Thatâs what they deserve. I know he wants to come off as impassable, but he needs to stop fighting the love that is clear in the reader for him. I know the wall is because of fear, but if they just communicated. đ„ș
âHe watched your face crest and fallâfelt your heart, skipping nervous like a stone over a morning pond, little waves rippling lightly, lightly out and out until it puttered quiet andâsank.â I can only imagine how much this killed him. That guilt gnawing away in his stomach and twisting its claws that he was the reason for that light fading within her. I know this was his way of protecting his heart from the inevitable pain he feels that sheâll leave. Sheâll leave him and heâll be alone againâleft with the emptiness of loss repeating itself.
Oh man. He had a moment of breaking his creed. đ It broke me that the mention of family is what had him reconsidering everything that has been ingrained in him for years. It felt like he had no control of the need to touch her. Ugh, I love these two so much. I want to cherish them and keep them safe.
Jesus, the tension of that room when Din came back from his hunt. đ€đ»đ„ I can feel like and I was only the one reading it!! No matter how much these two fight it they are magnetically forced towards the other. Ugh, when she thought he was hurt and bleeding my heart grew several times bigger and the reassurance he gave that he was okay and not hurt. Din, of course she gives a shit about you!!
âWhereâd you go?â Shit, the double meaning in this question. đ„ș Itâs sad that she had to ask this question of where the version that wasnât closed off immediately after their encounter chapter 7 went. The one where she felt wanted and cared for. He took a piece of her with him whether he intended to or not and is giving it back to her all shiny and new. â€ïž
âPretty pretty prettyâfuck, all of you. So fucking pretty.â RIP to my pussy!!! Seriously. He stopped what they were doing just to admire her. Fuck me. I canât handle this. My praise kink is on overload right now so you know I will be putting in more lines with it. Iâm well aware of your talent of writing smut, but damn. This is poetic smut. Scratch the tombstoneâweâre getting you a mausoleum because weâre going to run out of room for what youâre going to be remembered for.
âI want this. Din, I want you, I missed you. I miss you.â
âI-Iâm gonna fucking ruin you.â Oh fuck. Oh fuck. Oh. FUCK. Am I dead? I would fall to pieces right there and then. Melt right into the floor. Please, this is all I want in life. And he forced her to look at him while he ruined her? Damn. God, and when he said âthere you are, my pretty thingâ yep pretty sure thatâs my core that just bottomed out. I told you my praise kink is overloading now.
He kept begging reader to tell him to stop? đ„ș He knows that thereâs no going back after this. Heâs completely opening himself up and thereâs no point of return. And when they finished reader really thought he was leaving again and was fully shut down when he came back. Poor thing. But then he put her back together with such an intimate moment with him just caring for her. My heart did the pitter patter.
âI didnât think you were coming back,â you admit, small. He soothes his thumb into the crook of your hip, voice blunt with guilt. âI know.â Yes yes YES to open communication. Iâm so happy that she was honest on how she felt and that he didnât ignore it. He full fledged acknowledged that was what he did before. He showed in his actions that he wasnât going to do that again. I love the questioning between the two of them if they enjoyed it like that little flicker of insecurity for the both of them. I laughed at the part when he said it was better than he imagined and she jokingly asked if he imagined it often. đ
âFluttering, pussy-drunk, he smiles back.â Okay can I have a show of hands of who would love to see Din Djarin pussy drunk? đđ»ââïž It canât just be me!!
I already told you, but this chapter was amazing. Immaculate the whole way through.

Notes: Friends, wow. I'm honestly embarrassed by how long this took. Thank you for your patience. I hope you find the reward worth the wait. This chapter is nearly all in Din's POV until it switches and blends in the last chunk. If youâre new to KOC, youâre more than welcome to start at this chapter! Love you guys x (gif credit: @bestintheparsec)
âDin.â
Familiar fingers brush through his hair, a hand he knew once combing over his overgrown locks. He feels the drag of nails across his scalp, tucking a truant curl behind his ear, and the act feels like homeâ like hearth.
Somewhere beyond his open window a morning bird trills, perched in its roost nestled into the forked branch of the elm.
He breathes a sigh, the sound thick with sleep, and turns to his pillow, burying himself deeper into the linen.
âDin, honey.â
He blinksâ lazily, molassesedâ her shape clearing into focus.
Green eyes peer back at him, fine lines framing the corners of them, and crescents crease around her lips, pulled warm into a soft curve.
Small toysâ wooden things, baubles and bits, dolls made from scraps of old fabricâlitter the floor, spilling from the chest butted against the stone of the wall. A book, well-loved and dog-eared, rests on his nightstandâthe one he insisted she read from each night, the story he couldnât possibly fall asleep without hearingâthe images written on the page, dancing in his small mind to the tune of her voice.
Itâs all there now as it was then before.
âItâs time to wake up.â
She sits at the edge of the bedâhis bedâthe weight of her arm draped over his shoulder like a blanketâ like shelter. Like never being fearful again. Like never dying. Like summer, forever.
âI am awake,â he murmurs, and it is with his own tongue that he speaks. Not that of a boy, but a manâunfiltered, unmodulated. Stripped of his helmet, he hardly recognizes the tenor of it, of its richness, but he feels the words reverberate against the hollow of his throat and he knows they belong to him.
Light casts through the window behind herâparticles of dust, trapped in the tines. Floating there, suspended on strings.
She only smiles, and strokes a thumb across the sweep of his cheekbone, there in the room he last felt safe.
âNo, not yet.â
Itâs time to wake up. Itâs time to wake up. Wake up wake up wakeâ
âNot yet.â
His eyes blur open with a flutter of his lashes, the lifeless durasteel ceiling coming into viewâthe jade of her gaze fading, fading. Blowing away.
He shifts a hand through his hairâ through the long strands in dire need of trimmingâ lying on his bedroll, spine knobbing into the thin mattress. The cold metal overhead stares back at him.
His chest rises. Falls.
Din can still feel her, the warmth of her, there on his cheek.
///
There is no part of this that comes easy.
He knows what youâre thinking, he can see it in the guard youâve encased yourself withâ your glass walls, your glass house. Transparent but impenetrable, Din can only look. A spectator, watching as you go about your routinesâ a stranger on the outside.
And he sees how you look at him.
You think heâs fine.
You think heâs marble. Unbreakable. Impervious to time, to cold, and he does nothing to correct you; no, he allows the belief. He lets you believe the calloused veneer of his beskarâ lets you assume he is more machine than man.
Din thought it would be simpler. Convenient. Din thought it would hurt less.
Because how can he tell you? How can he possibly communicate the imprint youâve left on himâ how his mind revolves around the imagery of that evening in vicious figure-eights. How he canât unremember your heat curling around his fingers, how he canât unbridle the pulse of his cock in your palm. How he canât unspeak that which he called you, his virgin tongue flicking new and flighty around the word.
Cyare.
It trippedâin the midst of his pleasure, it sprang clumsy from him how the inevitable always seems to where you are concerned: transport to Coruscant, his past, his history, his identityâ it just happens, reasonless, illogically. Some driving magic beckoning him to buckle, wishing him to give.
Your moans, your gasps, how you prayed his nameâ this is the white noise murmuring through the ship, harmonizing with the tinny mechanical beeps and settling groans of the bulkheads. You churn like smog through his helmet. Ever present, the memory of you is constantâ invasive. Itâs suffocating him.
Heâs been dealt plenty of injuries and contusionsâ he has the scars enough to prove itâ but itâs this. Itâs this thatâs killing him. Itâs you.
All of these paintings, life-like and lurid, and yet it is this wound - untended, uncauterized - that scalds most: the moment Din, that beskar apparition, slipped away from you. You were there, hip under the weight of his glove, and he simply
went, like fog.
He watched your face crest and fallâfelt your heart, skipping nervous like a stone over a morning pond, little waves rippling lightly, lightly out and out until it puttered quiet and
sank.
He abandoned you there. He left you before you had the opportunity to convince Din that you wouldn't do the same to him. Because Din has learned this, his suit of armor a trudging reminder of the inherent fact: good things leave.
Youâll be gone soon. Youâll leave himâheâs taking you home and youâll leave him. His son will leave him.
Heâll be alone again. Heâll have the Crest, heâll have the Guildâheâll have the life he once cast in stone for himself, the life heâs worn as proudly as the Mudhorn emblem he boasts on his pauldron. But that was then - before - and he can never find his way back to that now; now that he knows what he knowsïżœïżœof breakfast and bitter caf and laughter like church bells and warmth and goodness and you.
There is no part of this that comes easy.
There in the galley, lamp-lit iridescence caressing your countenance, you asked him once if he was scared of anything and he told you he wasnât sureâ not yet.
Din lied.
As a rule, he doesnât make a habit out of dishonesty; it doesnât typically suit him, he is blunted to a faultâ earning allies and enemies alike with the very attributeâbut he lied to you then. Maybe his fears are the same as everyone elseâs, maybe theyâre simple. Human.
Maybe heâs scared that youâll unchain him from his armor, of his shortcomings and tragic flaws and see the pulpy heart of himâthat youâll look and look and look, and you will like nothing that you find there. That heâs just a man.
And perhaps, heâd rather remain unknown than risk the chance of being unlovable.
For there is a certain hollow you befriend in the aftershock of lossâthere is an aperture loss gores you with. There are some holes time can never fill; they remain trenched, dug from rusted trowelsâ left to fester, left to ill.
Sometimes, in the surly vacuum of space, in those dulled moments in which he has nothing but to count the seconds as they tick clocklessly away, Din attempts to conjure the last word his mother gave to him. He didnât know it thenâhe didnât know it was intended as a gift, boxed and ribboned and bowed. He didnât realizeâa child, wide-eyed with naivety, drenched in frightâthat he should cherish it. Remember it. Keep it safe.
No matter how hard he tries, how hard he strains, he canât recall it. He practices the nightmared memory of it, transports himself into that war zone, dodging shrapnel and brimstone just to catch sight of her faceâ and he can see her lips moving, can feel the fan of the flames as his world is reduced to cinders, but he cannot hear her.
Was it goodbye? Was it I love you? Was it be safe? Was it hide? Hide hide hide for me. Be good and hide, kind boyâ
It dogs him. The nothinged mumble, his silent passenger.
There is no part of this that comes easy.
He heard you. There in Valentia, the city buzzing cacophonously like an orchestra tuning their instruments, he overheard the Twiâlek translate for the older woman.
Family, she said. You have a beautiful family.
Din has never in his life considered forsaking his Creedâ forgoing the thing that saved him, made him, honed him to tungsten, sharp as a blade.
But he did then.
It was a flash, something fickle and briefâ like the flicker of a candle before it diffused to smokeâ but in that nanosecond he saw himself ripping off his helmet. He saw himself going to you, pulling you close to his plated chest. He saw the surprise wash over youâthe shock that bubbled to elation. He saw you smile, that crippling gorgeous thing, with his own naked eyes andâ
And then suddenly you were there before him, snapping Din from his reverie, blanket snug to your chest, the child â his childâ slung beside you. He wished he had an explanation, but before he could process his actions his hand was drawing itself to your body, tugged by some unseen forceârobbed of his autonomyâ and rapturously, he touched you. He felt you.
His knuckles grazed your armâyour warmth, radiating past the aged leather of his gloveâand the wisdom that woman uttered, the plain truth only the ancient could learnâ only a mother could knowâ rattled around his mind, unanchored and barreling.
Yearn for the past. Reclaim time.
Hold onto them hold onto them hold onâ
Never let them go.
Ready? he asked you, arm resigned to his side, feigning monotony beneath the cover of his visor.
You threaded an even smile to your lips, as if Din were none the wiserâ as if he hadnât catalogued every lick of your expressions, every curve and bow and wrinkle as your emotions sung across your face. As if he didnât know when you were lying. As if he didnât know when you were falling apart.
Ready, you replied, swallowing past the disappointment welled in your throat.
Both your hearts broke then. Perfectlyâthe same.
This is the Way.
///
Din is gone over a week. Itâs the longest heâs ever been away for a huntâitâs the longest nine days of your kriffing life.
The ship feels vacant without him; sheâs cumbersome, too cavernous for the likes of only you and his foundling. Her durasteel sidings yawn morose against the wind beating restless against herâher metal stretching like a lothcat in a patch of sun. The doors and hatches complain ajar and gripe shut, as if sheâs recalcitrant to go about her standard operating procedures without Dinâs presence. The old gal misses him, down to her steely bones and dual ion turbines, and in truth â and despite yourselfâ you suppose a small part of you feels the same, shares an inkling of that same loneliness.
The rituals and dog-eared routines youâd drawn comfort from are now rinsed in a forlorn wash.
The single bowl of food you prepare looks wrong without its twin beside it.
You scroll a finger over your display screen, flicking through various articles, the faint light from the holopad basking the contours of your face in a lonesome shade of inanimate blue.
Anything good you hear him ask, there in your inner earâ the memory of his voice leaving a nick among the many wrinkles of your brain.
You sigh, quietlyâ alone. Never.
Even Munch misses him, although he expresses it differently. Heâs been a downright terror with Din gone. At first it was a vacation, a luxury retreat; you and the child gorged yourself on crackers and grava berries and dried bantha meatâmindful of sweeping up the crumbs on whichever surface you snacked. You giggled and ran amok and shared secrets in code only the two of you could decipher.
But one day grew to two, and two to three and three to four and by the fifth you were out of treats and your patience too had dwindled to short supply.
The child is specialâ unquestionably unique. And as much as you adore him, would lay down your life for him if it came to it, Maker he is uniquely qualified to send you round the bend twice over. Heâs baffling, infuriatingâ just like his father. Of all the things he could have inherited from the man, of course he decided to latch on to his vexing penchant for mystery.
You lost him for half a day. He was somewhere aboard the Crest, of that you knew that for certain, but he managed to enact a stunt that couldâve puzzled even the most illustrious of illusionists with how quickly and effectively he vanished, seemingly out of thin air.
He emerged eventually for dinner, babbling wickedly. There was that, at least: you could always count on Munch to â well, munch.
Over a week of thisâ nine days, sixteen hours, and twenty-two minutes, to be exact⊠But whoâs counting.
The sky glitches with lightning, sparking like a bulb in dreadful need of changing, and veins of violet skitter along the horizon, chased by the clapping hammer of thunder. Fat drops of rain trace down the transparisteel, the metalled drum of their pattering against the Crest lullabying your eyelids to a slumbered close. You drift, weightless, waxing and waning in and out of a reoccurring dream that always blurs to mere suggestion - to shadow - as soon as you wake.
The harsh sound stirs youâthe rampâs gears springing to life, signaling the Mandalorianâs return. Rapidly, you blink clear the slog of sleep from your eye, re-emerging from the forgotten depths of your subconscious and half-roused, you bound from the copilotâs chair. You rally from your stupor, instinct urging you to meet the bounty hunter by the entranceâsome tittering, foolish part of you still so glad and girlish just to see him.
Hobbling down the ladder with veteraned coordination - one leg one arm one foot one hand - you hop the last two rungs to land catlike on the balls of your feet, heading towards the stern of the ship andâ
You donât make it three steps.
Heâs there. Din is thereâ nine days later and finally, like a hallucination, heâs hereâ ominous and backlit by the glow seeping in from the galley. An obelisk, undaunted.
Your gut somersaults, flipping until it dizzies.
Knee-jerked and reflexive, the basest part of you demands you go to him, to cross the threshold separating youâ the time and space and uncertainty dredged like a moat between you two. But instead of greeting him as you wishâ two arms thrown around him, welcoming him homeâback to the Crest, to the child, to youâyou stand there, dumbstruck and wanting.
The passage of the corridor is like a strait. It's so narrow you can smell himâ his carbon musk, his petrichored sweatâand it furls thick into your sinuses, fogging up your vision, clotting the faulty wiring of your mind. Heâs brought the wet in with him, drip dropping from his hulking frame to splat puddled onto the deck.
plop
plop
plop
A beat ferments, hanging ripe from its branch as the tempest rages outside the sheltered hull of the ship. Distantly, thunder booms from above.
âDinâ hi.â
âYouâre up.â He doesnât move from the archway. Stiffened, composed from granite, the man hardly breathes. âDidnât mean to wake you.â
âYou didnât,â you offer hastilyâuntruthfully.
Din scans you: your obviously tousled hair, the drowsy flush kissing your jaw, the tell-tale crinkle of your tunic. Your tongue darts out to skip over your lip and his lungs pull, aching beneath his ribs.
Maker, youâre pretty even when you lie.
âGo back to sleep,â he assures, but you hardly register it; itâs scarcely above a murmur by the time the words hum through his modulator.
âCan I make you some food? Can Iâ"
Thereâs a tarred shake of his helm, tiredly dissuading you. âNo, youâyouâve done enough.â
âBut you must be exhausted, Din. Let me help you,â you urge, sincerity shaping the lilt of your voice. âPlease, Iââ You falter. Vision finally adjusted in the dimmed hall, it is then that you spot it.
Your mouth runs dry.
Heâs dappled in a violent scarlet, foreign red splatters contrasted against all that silvered grey, bleeding with the rainwater to roll sanguined down the rounded edges of his armor.
Blood. Heâs covered in blood.
Something pittedâsomething vitalâ in you contracts; horror, prickling the fine hairs along your forearm. âMaker, what happened?â
Eyes gaping fearful, you skitter around his breastplate, his vambraces, the paneling of his flight suit, roving meticulously in search for the source of his injury. Thoughtless, consumed with only one concern - is he hurt? - your hand flies to his chest where it restsâsolid. Fretting. âStars, are youââ
He can see itâhe can see you, alwaysâhow your gaze swells, laced with a surge of adrenaline, of care, and Din lays his broad palm flat over your knuckles, grabbing your frantic attention. âItâs not mineâhey, itâs not mine.â
Your shoulders deflate, relief visibly relaxing the rigidity in your spine, and for the first time in what feels like minutes you release the breath youâd fostered high behind your teeth.
He doesnât know what overtakes him. Perhaps itâs your sleep swollen lips or the soft petal of your cheekâ taunting Din, daring him to feel you again, as he did beforeâ or perhaps itâs the all too apparent fact that you simply give a shit about himâ despite everything heâs done, all of that which he has left unsaid. That you worry. That you care.
Puppeted, arm hoisted by some invisible strings of fateâthose unseen threads of inevitabilityâhe reaches for you. Dinâs thumb roams the slope of your cheekbone, the buttered hide of his glove gliding over your skin. Something rattles flustered in your chest, and you must look patheticâ how your eyes bat at him and your mouth parts, breathy and demure.
âDala.â He sounds pained when he says it, as if itâs poisoning him; the very syllables like hemlock dripping down his tongueâslowly gradually, ending his lifeâ this life.
This life as he knows it.
You nuzzle into the cradle of his palm, encircling a hand around his wrist, urging him still. You both know he could break away from you without an ounce of strength squandered, but he doesnât; he listens, he quiets for you. Enchanted, neither of you dare moveâ neither of you, willing to shatter the profound spell of intimacy youâve stumbled onto.
He holds you like this, and you hold him to you. His hand on your cheek; yours over the birdcaged throb of his heartâ burning - devouring - its entombed aril like the heart of a dying star.
âWhereâd you go?â you whisper, heathered, into the heel of his hand. There is something broken in your cadence, like the chipped rim of a fragile cup, and it punctures him just there beneath his sternum.
Whereâd you go?
Whereâd you go before? When you leftâ where did you spirit away to?
Why didnât you take me with you?
A sick wave rots his stomach. He couldnât answer you then, not when you were wobbly and coltish beneath himâDin can barely answer you now. His digits twine into your hair, cupping the arc of your neck. The gesture is not unkind. It is delicateâ urgent, tooâand the following hush you share speaks tomes for the both of you, the sob of his leathered fist admitting what he cannot utter.
I couldnât. I couldnât.
Maker, if you could see him. See how his face folds for you, grief lined into the shallow grooves that mark him. The cycles of itâ how they bend him into something contorted. Something in need - I need you I need you I need - something ugly, he thinks. Leftover. Hidden. Hide hide hide hiâ
You turn, pressing a kiss into the rough of his palm. Itâs a soft thingâ trepid and cautiousâtoo worried you might frighten him away to offer anything more than a chaste brush of your lipsâtoo worried youâll send him scurrying back into the cratered unknown he crawled out from.
But he doesnât.
Din doesnât turn tail and run, he stands firmâweaving his hand further into your scalp, guiding you closer to him with a throaty sound. The forehead of his helm sinks to yours, and through its filter you discern the tremor of Dinâs breathing, made fuzzy by the tinny modulator.
This is nothing like before. Din was hot blooded and vicious then, possessed by the infernal likes of some great beast, but he has since been tamed, if only momentarilyâcoaxed into a certain meekness by the frail ache of his heartâby the grace of your kind mouth, kissing his gun-worn glove.
He groans your name, mumbled and brassy. The two of you so close, so merged, that if it werenât for his helmet, youâd feel the tickle of the syllables as they sweep over your face. Din repeats himself, repentantâpraying for forgiveness on the cross of your nameâyour kiss, a benediction.
Again, he calls you. Iâm sorry.
Again, you kiss him. There is nothing to forgive.
Again. Again.
With a flutter of bravado, you sling a lumbered arm over the span of his neck, notching yourself into his chest, an interlocking piece finding itâs match. Dinâs forearm comes to coil around your waist, wide hand spanning the small of your back, and if possible, gathers you nearerâ a growl emanating somewhere from under his beskar.
âTell me to stop,â he breathes, bullet riddledâgratingâwarring with the countless shards of himself he has yet to reconcile; but his body betrays his intentions as Dinâs grasp finds itself lower, filling his fingers with the plush of your ass. âTell me, please.â
Arousal rushes to pool in your depthsâat the proximity of him, the hungered way at which he paws youâand itâs a reaction you feel mimicked by the iron rod straining against Dinâs flight suit, pressing into your thigh. You shake your head, gaze colored earnest, and you shift, applying a grind of your hips against him in response.
Din lets out a defeated groan; weak to you, a fabled Mandalorian warrior brought to trembling knees by the guile of a good woman. And suddenly, like striking a match in a room swarmed with gas, you are incendiary.
Heâs everywhereâ groping and kneading your arms, your ass, your neck and waist. You are malleable beneath him, sculpted like wet clay under his eager touchâas if he is committing your form to memory; the fervor of his grip, reclaiming time.
He hooks a hand under the crease of your knee, yanking you to the column of his armor, sealing your bodies together. Gyrating your hips against him, your clit yearns against his thick outline as you dig into the cowl draped over his shoulders.
Sliding his hand down your backside, he presses his palm into your clothed heat from behind, pads of his fingers insistent as you saddle your spine into his touch, granting him better access. His cock brays, straining beneath his many layers, and a withered moan breaches past your lips.
âGods, Din.â
Din. He canât stand thatâhis name, lush in your wet mouthâand without ceremony, drops your leg from where heâd glued it to his hip. Like a beggar, impoverished and need-stricken, he begins to fight with your clothing, half tempted to rip the damn things off you, leaving you tattered; heâd happily buy you a new wardrobe if it meant having you as heâs wanted for these long monthsânaked and vulnerable and his.
Your tunic and pants come off in a flurry, your underwear too, discarded hastily in some forgotten cornerâand with a hand on your chest, he walks you backwards until your bare ass connects with the durasteel, a jagged inhale tearing through you at the chill. A question knits your brows to meet as Din paces away from you, increasing his distance.
âWhat are you-â
He interrupts you with a groan. âJust - gedetâye - just let meââ
His gaze drips like wax down your bodyâeyes dressing over your clavicle, the supple weight of your breasts, the gorgeous dusting of hair at your mound, the sweet press of your thighs as you clench them together, your pretty knees, your pretty ankles, your pretty feet, pigeoned inward nervously.
Pretty pretty prettyâfuck, all of you. So fucking pretty.
With the cock of his chin, his gaze returns to the heave of your breastsâtracing over your nipples pebbling in the everpresent draft of the Razor Crestâ and you rile under him, heart stammering loudâso loud youâre convinced he can hear it with the aid of his helm. And Maker above, the way youâre fucking staring at himâall hooded lids and flushed cheeks. Din wants to fucking ravish you.
Dismantle you.
Pick you apart bit by bit until youâve come undone completely.
And as if slogging through gravity itself, movements prowled, he steps to you. Din finds your hips, running the whisper of his gloves along the slopes of your sides; a master of patience, commanding time to his will, he crawls up your skin
slow
slow
deliberate.
Youâre all but helpless to the shiver that traverses the planes of your body, zipping along your synapses like the fault lines of a quaking planetâcracking you open, exposing your molten core. Youâre not proud of the noise you make when he cups your breasts. Starved, you whine as he takes you into his hands, pinching and groping until youâre pert and sore and you drive your pelvis into him, rutting yourself against his frame like some flea ridden slum-mutt in the prime of her heat.
Din seethes, mumbling in Mandoâaâspitting curses you canât pretend to comprehend, but that blot warmth along your cheekbones at the oaky depravity of which he utters them.
He seals over your mound, blood pumping at your seam, bundle of nerves pulsing steady against the heel of his hand. Immobile, he waits, hovering stagnant and teasing before his lust to feel you outweighs his desire to make you be good and waitâand parting through your curls, he kisses the tips of his orange gloves into your honeyed cunt.
Itâs dirty. Heâs dirty, heâs fucking filthyâcovered in foreign blood and alien soilâand you feel depraved, unclean. Powerful. You feel, perhaps, as the Maker intendedâwild and without shame, to roam his gateless garden and sully the soles of your feet.
You feel raw. Din Djarin sands you raw.
The pump of his wrist is merciless, pistoning in and out in shallow thrusts, knuckles angled to prod at that spotâ that piece of primordial heaven sequestered at the channel of your cuntâand he keeps discovering it over and over again with a sharp shooterâs precisionâzeroing in on his mark and releasing the trigger. Dead eyed.
You grab greedily at his bulge, at his cock begging for regard beneath the protective fabric covering him, and you squeeze the best you can. The angle is awkward and unweildy and itâs not nearly enough for either of you, but it conveys your intention well enough.
Can I have this? Will you give this to me?
Din growls his reply, leaving your pussy to fumble with the waist of his trousers, fidgeting over the pesky buttonsâthe final of the flimsy holdouts separating you and the tempered steel hanging solid between his legs. It bobs free from his pants, ruddied tip straining and pining for you, and without spending another moment idle, he rediscovers the warmth of your naked bodyâ molding himself to your form, his grip once more finding the pit of your knee and bracing it to his side.
He ruts the underside of his shaft through your slick folds, his blunt head nudging at the swollen cleft of your centerâeach pitch of Dinâs hips sending bolts of pleasure crackling through your core. Heâs stifling a string of moans while he does it, while he undulates against you, the sighs and gasps digitized to near silence as he coats his cock in your glossâand not for the first time do you find yourself considering how fucking colossal Din is. How fucking virile and engulfing, like blaster smoke and tabacco and cedar. Like coaled smog from a cremulator. Like giving life, like taking it awayâ like mercy. Vengeance.
Din swipes your standing leg up to match the other in a fluid motion, effectively levitating you off the ground with only his palms secured beneath your hamstrings and your strangled hold around his neck to suspend you.
âTell me to stop and I will.â Heâs practically begging you now, anguish wrecking through the timber of his voiceâgrasping blindly for an excuse not to lose himself in you completely, not to bury his primal drives and fears into the chasm of your sex.
Youâll leave him youâll leave him heâs terrified youâll leave him
âI-I donât want you to stopâ I want this. Din, I want you, I missed you. I miss you.â You miss him. Heâs right here, cock streaking through your middle and still, you miss him. Youâll never stop missing himâwanting him. An unscratchable itch at the median of your back, burning for his affection, for his touch.
He releases a husked sound at that, as if hearing it from you hurtsâ your words, purpling a bruise into the bloody beat of his heartâand like a dipping sun sinking below the crust of a darkening planet, the last of Dinâs resolve fades to utter black as he finally - finally - buries himself into where you weep for him.
Oh Maker. Fuck, fuckâ
You muffle a relieved cry, forehead collapsing to the slope of his shoulder. Your walls shutter, blinking and gasping around his cock as he rolls up into you, lips pulling taut around his girth with each drag through your cunt. Din fucks you slurred and languidâhis pace, sweltering like a summer feverâheavy, punitive. Smothering and thick. You can feel every vein, every silken ridge, as he notches himself inch by inchâ the cant of his hips meditated, aiming to melt you open with each wave.
Stuffed to the hilt inside you, he rakes in a ragged breath, calming the race of his bloodstream drumming percussive in his ears.
It occurs to you then that he might be trying to be careful with you, curled around him like this, crushed up against the bulkhead. You think he might be treating you as a jeweler would handle a rarified gemâ gentle and tip-toed, afraid of letting you clatter to the counter, of scuffing your facetsâ devaluing you.
But you donât want that. You donât want cautious or considerate or any of those awfully pious things. You want to be owned. Devoured. You donât want to feel anything else but him. You want him to need you so terribly, so primally, he bleeds. You want to forget your own damn name and replace the memory of it with hisâjust his, to sit besot like liquor on your tongue. Din Din Din.
âFuck meâ please - please - fuck me harder Din.â Fuck me like you need to. Fuck me like you want meâ please just tell me you want me. Tell me Iâm wanted. Tell me Iâm worth this.
You can see the deliberation span over his mask, the light glinting off the steel there hesitant, wary. Are you sure?
âFuck me.â I want this. I want you.
He wants to give this to you somewhere softâ somewhere you deserve. With a feathered mattress and molted down pillows and gauzy curtains billowing in a sea breeze as light dapples prismed patterns on your dewy skin. He wants to give this to you somewhere beautifulâperhaps on that planet you once probed him about - Adega - with its red trees and warm nights and friendly natives youâd cherish and keep aloft in your breast.
He wants you to feel safe. Adored.
But what he wants and what he needs are two vastly different thingsâtwo opposing extremes at odds with the other. Because he needs to fuck you hereâ it has to be here. Needs to score your backside with metaled bites from the Crestâs unforgiving interior; needs you crumpled and sloppy, panting out his name to echo shamelessly into the deviled bowels of his gunship.
He needs you charred for him. Scorched earth.
And with your panted pleas, lilting addictive and irresistible, he is all but helpless to deny youâ to deny himself. Relenting, resolved, his voice bottoms out.
âI-Iâm gonna fucking ruin you.â
He fucks you frenzied. The snap of his hips drives you into the wall; he lifts you off his cock just to spear you on it once more, fucking up up up into you, unleashing all his strengthâ his neglected needâinto the grail of your womb. The salted slaps of skin are loud enough to make a lecher blush. Itâs a chorus of beskar rattling, wet and ugly and Maker, heâs splitting you open and all you can do is mewl.
You screw your eyes shut, lost to oblivionâcrown of your head shoved back, jugular bared for him like prey before the slaughter.
âNo.â Leveraging his mass against you, Din clasps at the nape of your neck to command your focus, forcing your chin. âNo, look at me,â he orders, brutal and sinewed and thereâs desperation there. Din needs you looking at him â seeing himâ the embrace of your gaze like a life raft, tethering him here, grounding him to this plane of existence, the one where he has found salvationâif only fleeting, if only like hourglassed sand sifting through his fingersâwithin the temple of your body. Struggling and led-lidded, you pry your lashes apart, shivering as you drink in the punishing expression leering across his visor; and as you always do, you peer past the murky T there, meeting his eyes camouflaged in their sockets behind it.
âThere you are. There you are, my pretty thing - hnngââ He silences himself with a hoarse moan, the sensation of you clenching firm around him, gripping Din like a man would a rope, dangling some feet above the ground, hiccuping him to stutter. âT-Thatâs it, dalaâfuck, y-your pussy is so godsdamn tight.â
You go boneless at the praiseâat how he tongues out those fond epithets, vehement and covetous and brined in sincerityâand your breathing quickens as you soak the coarse weave of Dinâs flight suit, chafing your clit to shambles with each bow of his starved sex.
Youâre close. Stars, youâre so kriffing closeâreach out and touch it and youâre there, a promise fulfilled dancing at your fingertipsâand you almost tell him; you wish you could - donât stop donât stop please right there Din - but youâve lost your voice, vocal chords stricken with tension. More than that, youâve lost the wedge of your brain that recognizes articulation all together. Speech itself. Youâre wasted. Youâre shattered. Youâre being fucked within an inch of your sorry life.
Nimbled, without a word of warning, Din relocatesâ grappling under the plats of your thighs and bracing you featherlight to his chestânegligible in comparison to the ton of armor he dons cycle after cycle, weightless when compared to that of his Creed, hanging like a yoke around his gullet. You yip in surprise and scramble around him, calves digging into his back, forearms clamped around his shouldersâhis cock remaining delved within your pussy with each footfall.
Four long strides and heâs reached his destination: a large crate, stranded just outside the hallway leading to the galley. Stooping at the waist, he lowers you down with astonishing ease until youâre flush on your back, knees flanking his frame. You heave a sigh, petulant and wanting, when he slips from you mid-adjustment, a lewd squelch accompanying the movement. It is to the fervor of your clawing, desperate nails scratching down metal - please please please - that he glides back into you with one deft sweep, a satisfied gasp tumbling loose from him.
He looms over you nowâ Din, a tower unyieldingâthrusting into you rough and hard and perfect. Heâs filling you in undiscovered places long gone unrealized, nooks you didnât know you hadâthe length of him completing you, making you whole.
âTell me to stop,â he pants, orange pads of his gloves dimpling your hips.
With a tremor of your chin, you moanâbroken and chirping. âDonât - please - please donât - shit - don't stopââ Your prayers convulse, dying in your throat, sentence cut short as he circles his thumb over your clit, catching at your slippery bud. Ever the marksman, heâs debilitatingly attentive to you, the hide of his glove snagging against your cleft, and combined with the steady rock of his dick shredding you open, youâre all but defenseless to the dawning of your release, crawling closer and closer andâ
âDin,â you pant, âDin Din Din, I think IâIâm gonna cum. Iâm gonna, oh Makerââ
The muscles in your stomach seize, a twisted expression cramping your brow. You scamper to his arms, reaching out for something - anything - a parcel of real estate to clutch onto while you unravel. Youâre grappling with his pauldrons, the pulsepoint at your wrist humming over the symbol welded to his shoulder, and you mage into starlight. Youâre fizzing. Youâre blind. Youâre atomic and phasing in and out of realities and you burnâ a meteor hurtling through the upper atmosphere crashing crashing crashing andâ
Language exhausted, all there is left for you to do is cry, the evidence of your orgasm ricocheting like a hail of gunfire against the Razor Crest walls.
âThatâs a good girl, thatâs a good girl for meâf-fuck." Itâs like taking a jab to his solar plexus, how you cinch around himâ the corset of your walls milking his cock until heâs shaking, stumbling. The drive of his pelvis has gone erratic, the throbbing bloom gnashing its teeth in his gutâthat rabid thing desperate to be released, uncagedâteeters on the identical ledge youâd just leapt from.
âTell me to stop - please - tell me to, tell me to stopââ Youâre all eyes. Your whole face, swallowed by the sweet, glassy orbs notched below the quiver of your forehead, and youâre looking at him like he could hang the damn moon and itâs too muchâ itâs too much too much he canât levee this raging needâ and with a hurried gasp he pulls out of your heat to tug at his slicked cockâ panting ragged as he gushes onto your stomach, your legs, your pretty pussy made pink and puffy with abuse.
His breathing is labored; you can see it in the mountainous rise and fall of his chest plate as his strokes slow, his other hand digging into your flesh, indenting you. He exhales, scraping clean the fissure between his lungs, and Din tips his head, angling it backwardsâ granting you a rare sliver of the stubbled swath along his neck. The sightly patch, treasured behind his silvered grotto, shouldnât be the thing that plays upon your heartstrings like one would pluck a harpâ not after heâs burrowed himself inside you, not after heâs carved you to his likenessâ but it does. Youâre butterflied and cherry blossomed and you grinâ not so much on your lips but in your soul, and there is a purring warmth thatâs radiating like candle flame from the anima alive beneath your breasts andâ
And then, suddenly â like time, like memoryâ he is gone.
He leaves you. Mirrored, he does as he did that nightâlaying a squeeze into the meat of your hip, he transpires to atoms, dissipating round the unknown bend of a corner and youâre alone againâalone, with only the citric bile steeping in your insides to accompany you, threatening to rise up your windpipe.
No. No no nononoâ
Dinâs presence, a beacon in the moonless night, disappearsâ leaving you orphaned and moored and mortified. Heâs done it againâ heâs left you, he keeps leaving youâ and it renders you sick; viscerally, youâre angered and ill and green-washed with naivety.
Fool you once, shame on them. Fool you twice, and what in Makerâs name did you expect? A declaration? An about-face? As if a Mandalorian could let the beskar from his blood. As if Din could reanimate the cadaver of his pastâcould slip into that old snakeskin heâd shed cycles before.
It paralyzes you. Immobile, you are chambered flat on your back in the resin of your embarrassment, bereft of your vision as you stare sightless into the steel. Youâve separatedâyour mind and your body disjointed like oil and water, and you donât hear it. You donât hear the tread of Dinâs feet, you donât register his aura, Illuminous in the archway; you donât see the stray towel fisted in his grip, you donât feel the clench of a frozen hand around your heart as he does his. For he sees you thereâa tick in your jaw; eyes distanced, foggedâand he knows heâs done this to you. The scarring of how he derelicted you then tarnishing the new-leaf flesh of the present.
He steps towards you, closer now, and your alerted gaze pins to him. A surprised expression makes a home there, astoundment freckling your faceâ and although he hasnât earned the right, it strikes him bullseyed between his plated ribs because it hurtsâ the obvious shock of him returning for you hurts. Din is not a good manâ not all of him. Sometimes, you and all your heaven-lit gleam, you make him forget that.
But sometimes, you make him remember.
And Maker, if you donât look good like this. Streaked with his seed, creamy white pearling the maps of your body, the shine of it catching in the cannistered shafts of filtered light.
Thereâs a word for thisâfor you, for how you look, splayed and painted with his cumâwith him. It puffs up like petals would, there in the square of his center. Heâs never said it. His mouth doesnât know the feel of it, his lips donât know its shape. Itâs scribed in Mandoâa, and as native as the language is to himâas fundamental as Basic, if not more soâthe word itself is foreign. Gawky. The thought of it alone hobbles through his mind on foaled legs. Din keeps this word barred, its essence clinging to the iron partitions of his skull, its perfume clouding his senses, his better judgement, his confounded rationality dangling precarious by a string.
Beautiful. Meshâla.
You shift under his watchful eye, knees steepling mousy, and gingerly, he prizes the two apart and you let him.
You let him you let him of course you let him.
Din runs a damp cloth up your seam, up those hypersensitive folds, towards the expanse of flesh leading to your belly, and you hissâa startled chill icing through your body.
âItâs cold,â he informs you, well after the fact, and you chortle a note in response. He continues to lave you clean, the drag of the material smoothing over your stippled planes and itâs intimateâhow he takes you under his care, how he unmakes his mess.
Your heart, silly flustered thing it is, it tells you the act feels worshipfulâreverent, maybeâbut your head convinces you to look away, to cower, to do anything but address the blaze left in the wake of the rag heâs swiping over you. Itâs too much. You feel vase-likeâ fragile and dainty, for the bounty hunter to either fill with wildflowers or crush under the heel of his bootâ and itâs too unbearable. Bringing a hand to your sweat-sheened face, you shadow your eyes, ostriching shylyâ if I canât see him, he canât see me.
A clipped tone escapes his helmet and itâs a sound you canât placeâ itâs short, a blipâand you presume heâll remain mum until he speaks. âYou donât have to hide from me.â
You donât have to hide from me. I donât want you to hide from me.
You nearly whimper at that. Thereâs something endearing and bronzed about how he says it, something torn, tooâand you peak through the curtain of your fingers to watch him perform his ministrations. Almost begrudginly, you remove your hand from itâs shelf, resting it on the swell of your breast while he passes the cloth along your inner thighs, erasing the sticky traces of himself. Thereâs a quiet pause, a moment of distilled nothing beforeâ
âI didnât think you were coming back,â you admit, small.
He soothes his thumb into the crook of your hip, voice blunt with guilt. âI know.â
Sighing, you nod a little thing, a half-gesture, practically creeping under the Mandalorian's radar undetectable. Thunder shouts, lightning cracksâ the bombastic storm outside apathetic to the lull within. Din clears his throat, rasping. âWas that okay?â
You resist the temptation to snort. Din is such a juxtapositionâone you donât imagine youâll tire from any time soon. Heâs dangerous and protective and clever and strong and kind, despite his best efforts to snuff his compassion to ash like the butt of a dead cigarette. Lifting your palm from its perch, you extend to him, measuredly sliding your fingers against the crateâ stretching stretching until he meets you, dubious and toddling like a childâs first steps, orange-dipped digits touching nude flesh. Your everbright grin brightens all the moreâ bewitching, back-breakingâas you entwine your hands to mesh.
âMore than okay,â you say coyly. âWas that-was that good for you?â
Din huffs out an airy chuckle rich with disbelief, like he canât fathom youâre even asking himâlike youâd even have to ask at all. âThat wasâthat was good. Very good,â he confesses gruffly, never a man for poetry, breathlessness still apparent in the bleed of his vocoder. âEven better than I imagined.â
A feline grin unfurls your lips, boldly quirking the droll corners of your mouth. âYou imagine this often, Mando?â
Smirking wry and devastating, Din ushers you up by your woven hands, your body pliable and easy to his will; uprighted, his hips slot between your pretty knees, and he expertly twists your arm behind your back, snaring it there. Spine swooped, breasts brushing against his beskar, your nipples pebble cold. âDonât let it go to your head, dala,â he gravels, visor tilted down at your dwarfed form, tenting you.
âWell," you tease lightly, "Iâll try my best.â
And you look at each other with all the tender awkwardness of two people standing on the edge of a brave new unknown.
Nervous, girlish, you smile.
Fluttering, pussy-drunk, he smiles back.
///
Nested in the pronged branch of a tall tree spindling up from the graveled soil, Dinâ a man, a boy tooâ reclines supine against the bark. His feet dangle like they did then, back when he wasnât so afraid, and the air is dusted with a rosy haze as dusk settles upon the tired day.
The sun sets. The world twinkles a midnight blue, winking starshine as she spins.
Somewhere, behind him, his mother calls him home for supper.
