His raven hair felt soft between my fingertips, his face smooth as ever. Our lips connected and stayed interlocked until we ran out of breath.

"Lark..." He mumbled as he gasped for air.

I placed my finger on his lips, "Shhh, don't talk. It ruins the moment."

He smiled and our lips connected once more. Never had I expected this from a failed mission. The love and compassion was almost too good to be true.

——

In my 9 months of being at the Resistance base so much has happened. My mission failed but I did what I was told for the first month, the thought of being rescued flooded my mind. The pilot Poe Dameron was assigned to follow me around which was nice, he trusted me which made everyone else trust me much faster. I learned so much to get ready to transmit everything to The First Order. But when I tried nothing happened. I waited for the ships to arrive to get me, but they never came. Eventually I gave up hope.

Poe and I became close friends, and soon lovers. We did everything with each other, chores and free time we were at each others side.

General Organa, well Leia as she insists I call her, and I became close as well. In the beginning she kept asking about someone named Ben, but I soon learned from Poe she meant Kylo Ren. My only response was that I never saw him, and that I was only interrogated by those below him. She stopped asking about him and acted as my mother figure. I learned so much from her, like how to deal with Poe.

One thing I never expected was meeting Luke Skywalker. He had a beard and longer hair, not how I thought he would look. But he was nice nonetheless. I would sit with him for hours in a day, when Poe was on missions, and listen to him talk about the Force. One night we were looking for constellations when he said five words I never thought I would ever hear.

"The Force is with you."

My head instantly turned to look at him.

"The Force is what?"

He laughed, "The Force runs through your veins. As it does with me and the other Jedi."

From then on our talks became training sessions. I trained alongside the female Jedi who I learned was named Rey, she was nice.

"Poe?" I ask, tracing lines on his chest.

He pulled me closer, "Hm?"

A smile crept itself onto my face, "I forgot."

"Oh did you now?" His raised an eyebrow.

"I did too! Don't tease me." I fake pouted.

We looked into each others eyes and before long we burst into a fit of laughter. Poe made me extremely happy, and I made him happy. Nothing felt better than laying in bed next to him after a long day, and then waking up next to him with tired eyes.

*BEEP*

Poe's arm reached behind me and turned off the clock, "The Resistance can wait five more minutes."

I snickered but pushed his arm away and got out of bed, "Maybe in your world, but I for one and extremely hungry. So I'm going to get ready and if by the time I'm done you're still in bed I'm leaving without you."

He groaned and hesitantly got up and followed me into the bathroom. I heard him turn on the shower and we both got in. The warm water reviving us, getting us prepared for anything that comes at us.

I felt him kissing my neck and spine while I was washing my arms, "Poe.. stop."

"Hmmm, how about no." He teased.

Turning around I pulled his face to mine and connected our lips, "Better?"

"Not quite." He pulled me in again and the kiss instantly deepened.

After what felt like ages we finished our shower and got dressed. Him in his usual attire, me in dark brown pants, white tank and Poe's leather jacket.

"Can I please wear my jacket?" He said with puppy dog eyes.

I stuck out my tongue and turned to the door, "Maybe tomorrow, there's a slight breeze today."

He rolled his eyes and followed me out to the dining hall. It was mostly cleared out, meaning we get whatever is left. We grab our trays and pick through the last of the breakfast food then headed to a table near the window.

Glancing down at our food Poe laughed, "If you hadn't distracted me we would have had a better selection."

"Oh I distracted you?"

He took a bite and looked at me, "All the time."

We finish our food and soon enough Poe is listening to the orders being given, today's assignments. I try to lean in closer to hear what they are saying but he puts one finger up. I huffed and waited till he was done.

"Come with me." His tone was hard to read.

I grabbed his hand and he pulled me to the tarmac. I watched the other pilots around us get into their ships and I felt myself getting scared.

Poe squeezed my hand, "Relax, everything is fine."

We weaved through many members of the Resistance before heading into the control room. Luke, Leia and Rey awaited us inside.

"Poe, Lark." Leia nodded to us both.

Luke stepped up, "Lark, I sense you have been feeling doubt. Rey has felt it to. Is there anything you'd like us to know? Anything you say stays in here with us, we just need to know why there is a disturbance in the Force."

"I, uh." So many thoughts raced my mind. Do I doubt anything? What would I be doubting?
