            she knows he means it  .    there’s a cruelty to his voice  ,  a sneer contorting his features  ,  a menacing glint in his eyes and rey meets it all unflinchingly  .  he is not like her  ,  and yet rey doesn’t underestimate his capabilities in the slightest  .  he might not have the power of the force harnessed for his personal use  ,  but he’s calculated  ,  ferocious in ways that should intimidate the galaxy  .  entire planets have fallen to his wrath  ,  many of them for nothing more than to set an example  ,  to intimidate  .  

            rey approaches him  ,  soaks up the way his gaze follows her every movement  .  he is invested in her  ,  and she  ,  him  .   ❝  i think  , ❞  she speaks slowly  ,  raising a hand to brush across his shoulders  ,  curl around the back of his neck  ,  ❝  i can handle myself  .  ❞  and then rey is pulling him down towards her  ,  ghosting her lips across his though denying them both the contact  .  it draws a smirk to the surface  ,  darkened gaze flicking down to trace the shape of his mouth with her eyes  .  ❝  and you should know that i would do the same  ,  ❞  finally  ,  she gives in and presses her lips to the corner of his mouth  ,  ❝  if anyone were to threaten what is mine  .  ❞

            her smile shines brighter than the sun  ,  finding solace in his words  .  she likes the way his lips curve over the word  ,   replays it in her mind until it’s scorched into her memory  .   forever   .  it didn’t sound so bad to her  ,  after a lifetime of abandonment  .  like clockwork  ,  her mind shifts to the past and it’s fresh wounds and broken hearts all over again  .  family should be forever  ,  too  ,  but rey hadn’t been so lucky when it came down to it  .  words alone were a promise  ,   but promises had a penchant for being broken  ,  leaving old wounds to reopen and revive the pain she’s spent years learning to suppress  .  

           armitage is observant  ;   rey doubts he’ll fail to notice the nearly imperceptive shift in her expression as she battles herself internally  ,  desperately trying to silence the negativity before it can consume her as thoroughly as she knows it’s capable of  .  

           ❝   forever ,  ❞  she tests the word on her lips  ,  feels the spark of hope ignite within her pounding heart  .  overworked ventricals contract  , sending a fresh wave of emotion surging through her  ,  and she fights the unexpected urge to cry  .  he was promising her forever  ( as ephemeral as that promise could be  )    –––––––   she has no reason to break down now  .  

           he has her whole heart in his hands  ;   she wonders if he knows it  .  he has the ability to strip her down to nothing but the spoiled ruins of a broken girl  ,  and she’s trusting him not to  .  it’s a frightening notion  ,  but there’s an equally unexpected surge of excitement at the thought  .  

           rey steps forward  ,  allows her hands to trace up his arms  ,  along his shoulders  ,  until they can meet behind his neck  .  she holds herself only inches away from him  ,  gaze falling back to his lips  .  oh  ,  how she wished she could watch him say the word over and over  ,  build her hope up like a house of cards   (  fragile and prone to demolition  )  and pray it doesn’t collapse  .  carefully  ,  rey slips one hand to touch his jaw  ,  allows her thumb to trace over his lower lip  .  

           ❝    say it once more ,   ❞    she whispers  ,  and is left again to wonder if the hitch of her breath is as audible to him as it is to her  .

            she practically melts into his hold  .    she’d gone years without the touch of another  ,   long enough that she’d started to resign to the idea of it ever happening   ––––––––    until him  .   her eyes shut  ,  a childish and irrational fear that if she opened them the scene would fade away  ,  depriving her of this comfort she’d only dreamed of for so long  .  the fear starts and ends there   ;   she feels uncharacteristically safe with his arms encircling her smaller frame  ,  her head perched gently atop his chest as it expands with each breath  .  rey counts his heartbeats  ,  allowing the rhythm to soothe away her remaining apprehension  .  

           his hand moves in small circles across her back and rey practically purrs under the touch  ,  her own fingers dancing delicately across the fabric of his shirt  ,  tracing abstract patterns against his torso  .  they’ve fallen into a silence  ,  but it’s far from uncomfortable   –––––    she doubts either of them would prefer the idle  ,  nonsensical conversation over what they’ve settled into for now  .  rey turns her face into his shoulder  ,  drawing in the clean scent of freshly laundered linens  ,  and presses a chaste kiss against it  .  she doesn’t look for it  ,  but rey envisions the soft curve at the corners of his lips in response to the gesture  ,  a smile he reserves only for her eyes  .  it’s beautiful  ,  she’d say  ,  you should smile more  ,  but the words never find the courage to pass her lips  .  

           she stifles a yawn  ,  forcing it into a subdued sigh that hardly goes unnoticed  .  he draws her closer  ,  pulls the covers up higher over her before his fingers return to her spine  ,  tracing similarly abstract designs against her skin  .  rey smiles  .  if he’s trying to lull her into a peaceful sleep  ,  he’s succeeding  .   her fingers still a moment  ,  hesitating before they bunch the fabric of his shirt between them gently  .              ❝  will you stay  ?  ❞

            she’s utterly exhausted .   thrown into chaos she never could have predicted  ,  filled with questions she yearns for answers to  .  rey can still feel the heat of the crackling saber at her throat  ,  the agony piercing her skull as the masked creature reached for her thoughts  .  it’s a juxtaposition to the chill of the cold metal her spine and the raised flesh responding to the equally cool atmosphere  .  rey surveys the dark interior of what she assumes to be one of many chambers aboard a vessel belonging to the first order  .  she was never supposed to be here  ;  she was to help the droid return to his home and then she would return to hers   ,   to wait for her family  .   

            the abrupt sound of the chamber door opening has every muscle in her body tensing  ,  preparing herself for what might be thrown at her next  . dread fills her  ,  expecting to see the masked figure in dark robes  ,  and rey is almost relieved that it isn’t him .  almost  .  a quick glance to his uniformed appearance and overall clinical demeanour is enough for rey to hypothesize his ranking is not to be underestimated  .  her lower lip trembles briefly  ,  gaze pleading .  

                                   ❝  please don’t do this .   ❞
