first game recap:
holy. shit.
i don’t think i’ve ever felt more alive than being at ppg when the pens score. the energy and the passion, the strong sense of community, the shared love. i don’t think i’ve ever yelled more in my life. (i’m definitely going to lose my voice in the morning)
now the ending was disappointing. especially bc a family of isles fans were sitting behind us, so i felt somewhat personally embarrassed that we flubbed, got lazy, got sloppy, something, and lost the drive we had the entire night before.
however, even with the OT loss, tonight’s been probably hands down one of the best nights of my life. some highlights:
seeing your favs, the loves of your lifes, your blorbos alive and in the flesh is definitely an overwhelming experience. when they first came out on the ice, i literally got lightheaded. like i was like oh my god, that’s them, right there that’s them, i’m in the same arena as them. i was with my friend who’s not into hockey the way i am, and i think she couldn’t believe how much i was freaking out over the players being right there haha
it’s loud. like the sticks and slap shots and puck hitting the boards. it’s so loud, so much louder than i was expecting. we were in the upper bowl too, i can’t imagine how loud it is on the ice
when i watch games on tv the goals always catch me by surprise, but i can still somewhat see them coming most of the time. however in person, every single goal caught be my surprise. like one second i’m drinking my twisted tea, the next it’s spilled all in the floor kind of surprise (that definitely didn’t happen….)
ppg paints is a gorgeous arena. omg. we ate before the game in this dining area with massive floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked downtown pittsburgh. like i could’ve sat the entire evening there. so beautiful.
y’all were right. seeing geno skate in person is beautiful, god i wanted to cry. i think i did tear up actually. he’s so graceful yet he’s such a beast. he’s just—ugH I LOVE HIM
tonight was surely a night to remember and i’m already planning my next trip up. thank you, pens, even though you dropped the ball at the end. you’re still my little slip and slide girls <3

She never expected any of her nights to turn out like this one did. It was all a big surprise and quite a shock to her. Lottie layed in the bed of her own best friend, currently being in a situation she could have only dreamed of.
“Come on, Lot! We need—you need to—lay off a little, have a bit of fun.” Roger almost begs her while sitting on the sofa with his arm spread out on the back of it. He looks at Lottie hopefully. Her teeth are biting down on her nails, she's nervous and confused, and thinking. She's walking back and forth in a few meters range. “Please...You won't regret it.”
It's late, almost nine in the afternoon on a Friday night, and Roger wants to take his dearly beloved best friend Lottie to a night club. They both have had quite a busy and stressful few weeks, and Roger - always with the bright ideas - has a suggestion how they both could have a relaxing night.
“Roger, for all I know, you could be dragging me out to a strip club as a prank!” She exclaims, throwing her hands around. Roger scoffs.
“Why would I do that?” He asks her with a disapproving look. Lottie shoots one of annoyance back.
“Because that's what you do. You like to tease me and make a fool out of me.” She replies. Roger rolls his eyes. “It's true, you know it yourself, Taylor!” Lottie raises her arms.
“Not this time, Lottie.” Roger says and looks at her sideways. She sees generosity in his eyes. “Not this time.” He adds. His blue eyes sparkle in that particular way they always do when he wants something. It makes Lottie annoyed.
She groans. “Okay.” She raises her arms again. “Okay, alright. We're going.” Lottie states and then sighs immediately, regret falling over her features as she puts her head in her own hand. Roger makes a winning gesture, and it annoys her also. “Only because I can't resist those stupid eyes of yours.” Lottie admits.
Roger winks as he walks past her, close to her and Lottie steps back a little. He pinches her side and she yelps. “Is this what I get for agreeing to go with you?” She asks, astounded. 
Roger only raises his eyebrows. Lottie turns around to go and dress up, but not before Roger's hand comes down on her bum. “Roger!” She turns her head to him. “What the fuck's wrong with you?!” Lottie exclaims and walks faster to her room.
After a while of deciding and Roger's comments about speeding up, Lottie has decided what to wear. Even though it's the beginning of the 1980s and a beginning of a new era, Lottie likes the fashion of the previous decade. Her outfit to go are tight-fit marina blue jeans with a high waist and a blouse with long sleeves and yellow stripes all over it. 
The outfit isn't too fitting to go to a night club, but clubs aren't Lottie's scene, and she doesn't really care if the outfit is aproppriate for it or no. Since she agreed last minute, she just wants to feel comfortable enough, already being out of her comfort zone. 
Lottie steps out of her room and closes the door. She walks down the hallway and finds Roger already looking at her. Lottie can't really tell what he's thinking. “I know it's nothing much, but...” She trails off, not really finding the words to say next.
“Oh, shut up, Lottie, you look dashing.” Roger says without a doubt in his voice. She laughs at him, and pats his shoulder. 
“You stupid flirt.” Lottie says and walks past him to get her jacket. “So are we going or not?” She asks, putting on her boots and watching Roger stand there. “You've called a cab, I presume.”
“No, love, I have my own car.” Roger responds. Lottie chuckles. 
“Oh, right, forgot about that.” She says. Soon after, she locks her apartment and they both get into Roger's car. Colour choice of the day is blue. 
They drive into the business of London town with no obstacles in the way, and Roger pulls the car to a stop right next to a loud scene. A pair of doors were decorated with blue and red letters above them, two guards, a line of people waiting and extremely loud music busting out of them. 
Lottie shakes her head and scoffs silently. She can't believe she really agreed to be there. How loud will the music be when they're in there? And how long will they have to stand in line for?
Roger's door slamming is what wakes Lottie up from her daydream. She lifts her head and moves her hand so that she can oper her door, but Roger beats her to it, opening it from the outside. Lottie smiles at him and gets out of his car. Roger meets her with a sly grin as he closes the door and guides Lottie up to the club with his hand on her back. Always the gentleman, Lottie thinks to herself.
To Lottie's surprise, she and Roger are let in without standing in the que. Roger notices her surprise and grins. “Perks of being who I am.” He says as they walk further into the building. Lottie plays dumb on purpose.
“And who is that, exactly?” She asks. Roger rolls his eyes at her joke and she laughs. Anything that he could have said in response is drowned out by the horribly loud music. Lottie winces at the sudden noise and almost covers her ears. “God, it's as loud as one of your concerts, Rog!” She yells in his ears.
“Almost as loud, love.” He responds. “We're much louder than this rubbish, and that's without the audience.” Roger states and Lottie nods. “Come here, there's a booth here that's reserved for us.”
“A booth - for us? You were really convinced that I'll come?” She's surprised.
“And I wasn't wrong, was I?” Roger asks when they reach the corner of the room, and the booth Roger mentioned. There's a guard in front of it. “Hey, Dave.” He says to him and the guard smiles. He doesn't speak a word, but lets Roger and Lottie put down their coats on the sofa of the booth. Roger whispers something to Dave before he and Lottie walk off, and Dave nods. Lottie's interested is picked, but she gets her questions out of her head.
“So, what are we drinking?” They've reached the bar now, and Lottie's leaning against it, checking out the menu on the opposite wall. 
“Something strong, eh?” Roger suggests and Lottie shoots him a grin. 
“Alright, drinker, pick us some serious ones, then.” She says and leans back off the counter, letting Roger have access to the bartender. He orders them both vodkas with lime and pays while Lottie takes in the scene around them.
There are so many people in the club, Lottie thinks the number reaches over two hundred. Most of them are people sucking each other's faces off with their hands all over. The other half are either dancing and kissing on the dance floor, or hanging somewhere around the bar or in their booths. 
Many girls and women are dressed in such questionable outfits, it makes Lottie want to drink. She raises her eyebrows at one with her breasts out especially, as she passes by on heels higher than the Eiffel tower. Lottie mutters a “jesus christ” when she's walked away.
Lottie can't wait to see which girl of all these Roger will take home tonight, making him forget all about Lottie or driving her home. Wouldn't be the first time. He always gets horrid shit-faced and then distracted by a girl with the most interesting face, breasts or legs of the night. In the morning, when Lottie's walked home by herself, he gives her the worst excuse for leaving her alone and forgetting about her. She's tired of it, honestly, and it's part of the reason she didn't want to agree to going out. 
“What's got your face so serious?” Roger asks, handing Lottie her drink. She gladly takes it and swallows a fourth of the glass. “Shall we go dancing, then?” He asks when she doesn't give him an answer.
“No, you go ahead. I'll probably join you later.” Lottie responds with a small smile. Roger pouts.
“Why are you such a party pooper?” He asks and downs half of his drink.
“Roger, I said I'll join you later.” She says with serious eyes. Their eyes connect for a moment, and it seems to be a silent conversation. Truthfully, it looked like Roger was undressing her with his eyes, but Lottie didn't pick that up. Her stare was serious, and a little cold, maybe even sad. “Go have fun.” She says finally.
A look of disappointment crosses Roger's face and Lottie turns on her heel to put down her now empty glass. She orders another vodka with lime, and turns back around to see that Roger's gone, probably on the dancefloor. Yes, there he is, dancing like a fool. It makes Lottie laugh. Her drink is served, she drinks the glass empty instantly, and immediately orders another one.
Drinks gone one by one, Lottie watches Roger dancing by himself and using silly dance moves you could only see in american movies. She puts her umptieth empty glass down and turns to the bartender to inform him that she wants another one. When she opens her mouth to order another one, the most familiar pair of arms grabs her by the waist and pulls her away from the bar. 
Lottie yelps out of surprise and struggles against Roger, and he puts her down when they're in the middle of the dancefloor. She immediately turns around. “What do you want, Roger?” Lottie asks in an almost exhausted voice. 
“Want you to have fun, let loose.” He says and starts to move to the rhythm of the current song, his hands still on Lottie's waist. “You've deserved it.” 
“Oh have I?” Lottie asks and puts her hands on Roger's shoulders. “And what do you want me to do? Dance like all those mad girls?” She looks around them, and Roger follows her eyes. He laughs and shakes his head. 
“I don't care how you dance. As long as you want to, that's all.” He says just as Lottie slips her hand into his and pulls away, her other arm going up, and Roger recognises the dance move. Lottie twirls back to Roger, their linked arms wrapping around her as she presses her back into Roger.
Baby don't talk Body language Give me your body
She then pulls away and puts one of her hands on Roger's shoulder, the other still linked with his hand. She laughs at how silly their position is - they're in a night club that's playing normal dance music, and yet they're in a waltz position. Roger gives her a smile and puts his free hand on her waist to complete the position.
“Is this what you imagined?” She asks Roger as they move quick to match the beat of the song. Roger asks so hard it makes him tilt his head back, and it makes Lottie laugh, as well.
“Exactly what I thought,” Roger starts to say, “except one tiny detail.” He adds and puts both his hands on Lottie's waist, which leaves her no free hand to fall on his other shoulder. She looks at him questioningly, with her eyebrows furrowed. 
Lottie notices him staring at her, and their noses getting closer with each passing second. She's quite confused, more so by the amount of alcohol in her system. “This one thing is missing...” Roger whispers right before his lips fall onto Lottie's.
Her eyes shoot open immediately, and she inhales through her nose to breathe again. Her hands push against Roger's chest in protest, although she's conflicted inside. Lottie has wanted nothing more than this, but never admitted it to herself or any other person. Then again, she doesn't want to lose what she's had with Roger for all these years. 
Roger feels her protesting and pulls back with a sad and also confused look on his face. One of his hands raise to touch Lottie's cheek. “Lottie, what is it?” He asks queitly and Lottie's eyes frantically search Roger's.
“Roger, I...” she stutters and trails off. She looks at his chest and hits it gently with her hand again. “I just—you're not... you're not even that drunk.” Lottie finally says and looks back into Roger's eyes. He furrows his eyebrows at her and then lets out a nervous chuckle, his head hanging down.
“Lottie, I don't have to drink to now that I wanna do this.” Roger admits once he's looking at her again. Lottie gasps queitly. “The question is... do you want to?”
Lottie can barely contain herself. She nods, biting her lip, and it makes Roger smile. He leans closer to her lips again, and this time slowly kisses her, almost teasingly, and it drives Lottie crazy. The kiss is sensual, slow and everything she could wish for. Her hands hold Roger's face close to hers by his neck, and his hands are no longer on her waist, but on her cheeks now. 
“We probably shouldn't forget that we're in the center of a dance floor.” Lottie whispers to Roger after pulling apart and she giggles. Roger smiles at her. 
“Do you even feel like dancing now?” He asks her and Lottie shakes her head.
“I mean, I'd love to, but...” she can't really voice her desires, but Roger can read it off her face. 
Just give me your body Give me your body
“C'mon.” He says and takes her hand in his, pulling her away from the busy dance floor where, surely, people were watching the “scene” of Roger and Lottie. 
Roger leads her through the crowded club, and soon they reach the booth he had reserved for both of them. Roger lets Lottie sit down first, and when he moves to sit down himself, Lottie pulls him down by kissing him. 
They had never kissed each other before, in their life-long friendship, never. Honestly, Lottie now had a question as to why. Kissing Roger was blissful. No other guy could even compete with him.
Roger moved her body on top of his as they continued to kiss each other. Their kisses became more heated and feverish, and their hands started to wander around each other's bodies. Roger's hands took particilar interesent in the front of her, and soon his right hand was slipping past the buttons of her jeans. 
Lottie eyes him cautiosly, but doesn't stop him. Instead, she can't contain her moans when his fingers are ghosting over her underwear. Her face changes completely and she collapses against Roger while he works on her clit through her wet underwear.
He's looking up at her with such lust and crave clouded eyes that he can barely see her face twisting with every move of his fingers. Lottie's panting, and lets out a high-pitched moan when Roger's fingers enter her. 
“Oh, Roger...” she moans and clutches onto his shoulders. 
“Move, baby girl.” Roger encourages her in a low voice. “Ride my fingers, baby.”
Lottie almost faints at his words, but follows his suggestion. She starts moving up and down on Roger's fingers—now three—starting slowly. Roger moans at how magnificent she feels around his fingers, and he can't help his mind wonder to how she'd feel around his other friend.
“Just like that, baby...” he says, “you're doing so good.”
“Roger, I—I don't think I'll...” Lottie starts to say, and Roger knows what she'd say. He swallows the rest of her sentence by kissing her on the lips. He hears her moan in the midst of their kisses, and works her off until her orgasm hits.
She's a mess by then, resting against Roger's neck and panting heavily. Roger takes a tissue from the table once she's done, and cleans her up. Lottie whimpers, her clit sensitive from the orgasm. “Yeah, the tissue's quality is out of my control.” Roger says and throws it away somewhere behind their sofa.
He buttons Lottie's jeans up and kisses her, gripping her right cheek in his hand. Roger pulls apart then, and analyses her face. She's quite tired, he thinks, but his mind changes when a smile appears on Lottie's lips. Roger chuckles.
“That was... something.” She admits. 
“To put it right, yeah.” Roger replies and Lottie giggles, leaning down to his lips to kiss him again. 
“Don't you think it's your turn now?” She asks and Roger is taken by surprise. 
“W-What?” He stutters, and it makes Lottie giggle. He hasn't changed. Roger can still change from a man who knows what he's worth to a silly and shy school boy in a matter of seconds.
“Shall we stay here or...” She bites her lip, looking around. “go somewhere else?” 
“I still have to pay for our drinks, but we can go after I do.” Roger suggests with a raised eyebrow. 
“Alright.” Lottie climbs off his lap and takes her coat. “Meet ya outside.” She winks at Roger and walks away. He stays in his place for a while, trying to comprehend what just happened, but then regains his focus. Roger gets his coat and walks over to the bar.
Lottie puts on her coat once she's outside and then leans against the outside wall of the club. She bites down on her finger and giggles, thinking about what her and Roger just did. It also turns her on, for the second time tonight.
She can't really believe that her best friend just gave her the best orgasm she's ever had. And it's Roger... her mind simply can't connect those two dots, it's too mind blowing right now. Perhaps her brain will work in the morning.
“You come here often?” Roger takes her by surprise for yet another time tonight, walking out of the club and instantly hovering over Lottie. She chuckles.
“No, some stupid boy dragged me into here, never been here before.” She responds. Roger laughs, his facade cracking. 
“Let's go, love.” He says and takes Lottie's hand in his own, pulling her to his car gently. He opens the door for her and then gets in his own seat. Once Roger starts the car, Lottie looks at him. He feels her stare and turns his head. 
She blushes and turns her head to the window. Roger reaches his free hand over to her when they're on the big street and grips her thigh. Lottie hisses and puts her hand over Roger's. 
“I'm mad about you, Lottie.” He admits and it makes Lottie look at him again. “You make me mad.”
Lottie hums. She doesn't know what to say, but her grip on his hand tightens. It seems like the ride back to her house lasts forever. But then Lottie realises that they're not even close to where she lives. “Roger—” she's cut short by the name's owner.
“We're going to my place.” He says simply and takes a left turn. Lottie nods with raised eyebrows. It takes another five minutes of silence filled with heavy sexual tension, and they arrive at Roger's house.
Lottie again waits for him to open her door, and he does. When she gets out, instead of walking up to the door, Roger pushes her against the now closed door. His lips are on hers again, and Lottie sighs in pleasure. Roger kisses her lips, cheeks, nose, ears, neck, everywhere that he can see.
“Give me one valid reason I shouldn't just take you here and now.” He whispers in Lottie's ear and she shudders. 
“It's cold out here.” She states and Roger shrugs, pulling himself back.
“Good enough.”
The way her hands feel around his shaft is magical. Roger's head hangs back and he's panting heavily, his fingers raking over Lottie's scalp. Her other hand is caressing Roger's chest while her lips are pressing kisses to his neck.
No, he can't. He needs to know how she feels around him. “Lottie, stop...” he says barely audibly, she didn't hear him. “Stop, stop.” Roger speaks up louder. 
Lottie looks at him questionigly. “What is it? Did i something wrong?” She sits down next to him on his bed. She's in her bra and underwear and Roger's almost bare, as well, he only has his shirt on. 
As many times as Roger had seen Lottie in this get-up, this time it's different. She's different. Only because now she's his to have, and he hopes that not only for tonight.
“No, no, baby.” Roger reaches a hand out to her cheek. “You're perfect, you did perfect.” He leans in closer to her and kisses Lottie's lips. She smiles against his lips. 
“Really?” She asks with hope in her eyes. Roger nods.
“Course you are.” He says and laughs. Lottie gives him a smile and blushes. “I just—let's save me for another time.” Roger winks at her and Lottie chuckles, nodding. 
“So... what do you want me to do?” She asks in such a quiet whisper that she's not sure Roger even hears her. She's shy about all of this, suddenly. Roger laughs and then looks away. After a few seconds of humming and thinking, he turns his eyes back to her.
“I want you to get naked...” Roger trails off as he watches his finger move the strap of her bra, “and then got on top of me.” He finishes, his eyes connecting with hers.
You've got the cutest ass I've ever seen Knock me down for a six anytime Look at me, I got of case of body language
Lottie pushes Roger down on the bed so he's completely laying down and then disappears out of his view. He lifts his head so he can see her. Lottie pushes her bra straps slowly off her shoulders, and then unclasps her bra so it completely falls off her, reaching the floor. 
She looks at Roger over her shoulder and grins when she sees him watching her. Lottie slows her actions down even more, and tugs her panties down her legs. It's torturing Roger and he groans. “Lottie...” he sighs and lets his head fall back onto the bed. 
But he lifts his head back up so he can watch her walk over to him. She does, and she is so beautiful and smoking hot as she walks. Her legs are moving slowly, and she knows exactly what she's doing to Roger.
You got red lips Snakes in your eyes Long legs, great thighs
Lottie crawls over Roger with the slyest smirk on her face she could master. Her breasts barely touching Roger's chest makes him whimper. He reaches out his arms to touch every inch of skin that he sees. His fingertips run all over her back, her breasts until they reach her thighs. 
Roger grips the back of them, earning a moan from Lottie. She puts her hands on Roger's chest and trails them down as she sits on his thighs. Roger's hands move to her hips, guiding her to sit down on his stiffness. Lottie lets out a gutteral scream as she slips down onto him and Roger's head hits the pillows once again.
“Fuck, Roger...” she yells between her panting. With all the power that he still has, Roger grips onto Lottie's hips and starts moving her up and then slowly back down. He watches as her face twists and her hair moves rythmically around her face, falling around it and framing her pretty features. How come he never saw this beauty in her before? When she had all those shitty boyfriends?
Lottie ignores Roger's hands and starts moving at her own rhythm. It takes Roger by pleasant surprise, and he yells out her name several time while she's at it. He knows that he won't last long. Lottie's hands leave little scratches and marks on his chest while his own hands are gripping tightly onto her hips. There will be marks visible in the morning, that's for sure.
“Lottie...” Roger pants and she can see sweat beads collecting on his forehead. “I'm very close.” He announces. Lottie nods and adds a finger to her clit so she'd meet Roger's time.
She knows that Roger's nearing his orgasm when his hands let go of her hips and fall weak at his sides. “Come for me, Roger...” Lottie whispers in his ear, bending down to his level. He pushes her back up so that he can watch her from below. Lottie gives him a grin and then feels herself coming.
Moans, curse words and each other's names fill the room as Roger fills Lottie up with his liquid finally, while Lottie herself comes for the second time that night. Neither of them knew that they craved this for such a long time, and it finally happened. The two best friends since birth had had sex for the first time.
Roger pulls out of Lottie and she collapses against his chest. Both of them are breathing heavily, their sweaty bodies sticking together in a mess of bare limbs. Though they're both tired and spent, Roger takes a blanket from the edge of the bed and pulls it over the both of their heads. 
Lottie snuggles up in his chest, and Roger's arm falls around her shoulders. He presses a kiss to her head before closing his eyes and drifting to sleep.
Out of all the possible scenarios of how Lottie thought this night would turn out, this is one she's definitely not diasappointed of. She thought she'd cry, be sad or numb, tired and mostly - alone, but in reality she's the opposite of all the words mentioned. 
Lottie thought she'd have to get home by herself, without Roger, while he's off with a random girl met in the club. Or she thought that she'd get so drunk she wouldn't remember anything she's done, and that Roger would drop her off at home, and leave her alone.
Naturally, she asumes the worst of a situation and Roger, because frankly, she's had bad night-clubbing experiences with him before. So it's only fair for Lottie to expect the worst from her best friend.
But here she is, sleeping in his arms after a few wonderful activities with him, feeling happy and not alone. She'd never expect this to happen in a million years or all of her living years. 
YEEEHAAAAAAAAAW

but it takes someone to come around to show you how
A/N Late post for Stormpilot Week, day one: matchmaker BB-8 or poster boys of the Resistance. At least I got it done eventually. Title from Tear in my Heart by tøp bc it’s 4am and I’m tired and I can’t be bothered to spend time trying to think of a better one rn. But anyway the title refers to BB-8, I guess.
Read it on AO3
“BB-8, calm down! I’m running as fast as I can,” Finn panted.
BeeBee beeped in annoyance. Honestly, how humans could deal with those stupid legs all the time instead of having much faster and convenient rolling spheres was beyond him. Hurry up, he chirped. Finn still didn’t understand much of binary, but he got the message.
“What’s wrong?!” Finn asked for what had to be at least the tenth time in the past few minutes. BB-8 had certainly grown on him over the past few months, but there were some moments—such as this one—when the little droid really got under his skin. For the first time, he actually got an answer; a string of exasperated beeps followed his question, but Finn only had the most basic understanding of binary, and the droid, in his excitement, was talking way too fast for him to keep up anyway.
He tried to calm himself down by reasoning that if the First Order had attacked or something equally as catastrophic had happened, he would’ve seen Resistance members dashing left and right, each to their own tasks. He had passed by a few people, but they were acting normal, simply giving him odd looks as he ran by and continuing about their day.
But, a small, dark voice inside his head protested, what if something’s happened to Poe? He quickly pushed that thought aside. That was something he didn’t want to think about. There was no use speculating, anyway. He’d just deal with whatever the situation was when he got there. (He really really hoped that wasn’t it.)
Finally they rounded the corner into a very familiar corridor, and the excitable droid skidded to a stop in front of the door to Finn and Poe’s room. Before Finn had time to catch his breath—or do anything else, for that matter—BB-8 had opened the door, bumped into the back of Finn’s legs until he stumbled inside, and zoomed back out, shutting the door immediately. Finn had a peculiar suspicion that it was also locked. Damn droid. He glared at the door. They hadn’t even explained what was going on. Why would BB-8 want to lock Finn in his own room?
Someone cleared their throat behind him. Finn must have jumped a foot into the air; he didn’t realize he wasn’t alone. “You can try the door,” a voice said as Finn spun around, “but knowing BeeBee, it’s definitely locked.” Poe chuckled, but his voice sounded nervous and apologetic. “We could try blasting it open, but I don’t think the general would appreciate the destruction of Resistance property very much.” When Finn still said nothing (being too busy staring at Poe), he added, “Looks like we’re stuck together.”
Finn was completely baffled. He had never seen Poe look this nervous before. In fact, he was raking his brain just to think of a time when he’d ever seen Poe look nervous at all. It almost looked like he was blushing, too, but it was hard to tell in here because of the dim lighting. Wait, why were the lights so dim? And that’s when he noticed it.
Behind Poe, the tiny table that usually held miscellaneous papers and sometimes hurried breakfasts was covered in a white tablecloth. On the tablecloth were two nice-looking plates loaded with nicely-presented food he’d never seen served at the Resistance before, a bucket of ice holding a bottle of what he could only presume was some kind of alcohol, a vase of flowers the kinds of which he had never seen that were definitely from off-world, and… candles. That would explain the unfamiliar lighting, at least. He’d never seen candles before. (They weren’t exactly common anymore.)
He was pretty sure his mouth was actually hanging open in shock. It looked as though someone had looked up ‘date ideas’ on the net and mimicked the first picture that came up. Was he interrupting something? Was Poe having someone over? He looked back at Poe, a question in his eyes. Blushing (adorably) harder than ever, Poe said hesitantly, “I think… I think BB-8 thinks we’d make a… a cute couple. We’ve been set up.”
The admission was followed by another nervous laugh, but Finn barely heard it. BB-8 thought…? Oh, kriff. Well, that certainly explained everything, at least. He could feel his own face heating up now, but it was probably just from the warmth of the candles. (How much heat did they give off? He had no idea. Didn’t matter though. It was definitely the candles.)
Finn had no idea how to deal with this predicament. He wasn’t sure how long they’d been standing there in silence now. It felt like whole months of Finn’s life had been spent here, in this room, with the guy he may or may not have a crush on, as they both stood there awkwardly, neither of them knowing what to say or do next. Eventually, though, Poe spoke up.
“Listen, buddy… I’m really sorry about this.”
Finn gave a very strained laugh. “Why are you sorry? This isn’t your fault.”
Poe shifted uncomfortably. He looked like he didn’t know what to do with his hands. (Finn wanted to hold them and still his fidgeting.) “It kind of is, though. BB-8 knows I—” Poe took a deep breath here and closed his eyes as he continued, “he knows I like you. In a more-than-a-friend way.” Finn was stunned into silence; he was having trouble registering what Poe had just said and what exactly it meant.
After a minute or so, Poe snapped him out of it by opening one eye a sliver and peeking at Finn, as if he didn’t want to, but couldn’t help but, look. And it was so adorable and heart-breaking and Finn was feeling so giddy all of a sudden and he couldn’t believe what he had just heard but this was real this was happening and so he did the only thing he felt he could in that moment. He took the few steps necessary to close the distance between them, and then… he kissed him.
Poe stumbled backwards—whether from surprise or the force with which Finn had crashed into him, Finn neither knew nor cared at the moment—but he recovered quickly, and Finn could feel him grinning against his lips. (It was the best feeling in the world.)
Poe pulled back slightly, just far enough to talk. “Wait, so—?”
“Yeah.”
“Wow. I had no idea.” Poe laughed breathily before closing the distance between them again.

“Guess we have a lot to thank a certain droid for,” Finn mused a while later from where he lie on Poe’s bunk (where they had retired to after taking advantage of the date BeeBee had so kindly set up for them, eating the delicious food and talking and laughing for hours).
Poe, who was tucked under Finn’s arm with his head on his chest, groaned at the thought. “I bet he’s so proud of himself for this. He’s going to be insufferable.”
Finn laughed. “That’s true. It’s worth it, though.”
Poe smiled softly and shifted around to kiss Finn on the lips (because, holy kriff, that was something he could do now???). “Definitely worth it.”
