Authors note! So there's sex in this chapter so if you're not down then don't read! Also, this isn't reylo! This is a story involving Ben Solo and Rey who are both students of Luke Skywalers Jedi Academy, I've always loved the idea of the two of them growing up together and falling in love while becoming jedis so here we go...

"Does anyone know where Rey is?" Master Luke said talking to his eager padawans. This question catching the otherwise quiet Ben Solo's attention. Rey had been his best friend since he was 12 years old, now being well into adulthood. Ben was not really a padawan anymore, he could leave if he chose to because he was already an impeccable Jedi with almost full control of himself. But, the young Jedi Rey kept him here. He wanted to see her grow and become the Jedi that he knew she would one day be. Although he never told anyone Rey was the reason he was still here, instead he told Master Luke that he enjoyed helping the younger students. Luke saw straight through the boy but never vocalized his thoughts about this strange relationship. So when Luke asked the group of about 15 students if they knew where Rey was, Ben thought the worst.

"I shall look for her." Ben said standing from the ground and facing his master.

"Now, my padawan, we must not be so hasty. We first shall use our minds to locate the girl, through the force." Luke said gesturing with his hands and speaking slowly to the young group. Ben grunted and sat back onto the ground reluctantly. Rey could be in trouble so he was in no mood to mediate right now.

"Look into your minds my young padawans, use the force and focus all your energy on the whereabouts of the young Rey." Luke spoke taking extra care with every word he spoke. Some of the children giggled and some looked like they were trying very hard to focus. Rey and Ben were the oldest, everyone else being substantially younger than them, they all fell between about 7 to 12 years old. Another reason it was strange for Ben to continue training on this island with Rey and the others.

"Master Luke," one young boy spoke up opening his eyes to look at his master,

"Yes, Reyu?" Luke spoke back,

"None of us can find Master Rey." All of the children called Rey and Ben 'master' even though technically they were not, but they were older and they seemed to look up to the two older students.

"Why could that be Reyu? Any thoughts?" Luke said speaking slowly once again to everyone,

"Master Luke," a young girl with scaly green skin spoke, Luke nodded and the girl continued, "She could be hiding her force signature from us."

"Very good Neko, how else might we find her then?" Luke asked nodding. By now Ben had waited long enough and became more irrational at every second not looking for Rey. She never missed morning meditation, so why would she today? Ben stood once again from the ground with a huff,

"We go look for her, that's how." Ben stormed off from the group causing Luke to laugh,

"I believe Mr. Solo might want to go save the princess." all of the children laughed in response and under his own breath Luke muttered, "Just like his father..."

"Rey! REY! Where are you?" The angsty boy yelled while trudging around the beach that surrounded the rocky island. All of the other students wore outfits fit for a beach and the island in general, but Ben insisted on wearing clumsy black boots and an all black outfit to match. He began to grow worried as he could still not find Rey anywhere, the island didn't have a very large perimeter so Ben had almost circled the entire island. He continued walking through the sand which only reminded him how much he hated sand.

"Rey!" Ben called out again this time stopping to listen,

"Ben?" a small voice called back, Ben knew immediately who it belonged to. Ben ran towards the voice and came upon a small, damp cave nestled into the side of a hill opening to the ocean.

"What are you doing out here! I thought you could be hurt do you know how annoying that is for me! Dammit!" Ben practically yelled as the small girl came into view. She was perched on top of a rock staring out at the opening of the cave.

"I-I'm sorry Ben... I didn't mean to worry you." Rey responded feeling a bit bad that she made anyone worry,

"I wasn't worried!" Ben snapped while crossing his arms, "I was angry! You have to tell people when you leave like that!" This caused Rey to giggle, "What! What's so funny!" Ben continued to yell,

"You! You're funny," Rey laughed again, "So quick to lose your temper. I think you were worried, you just are embarrassed to admit it." Rey hopped down from the rock,

"Whatever..." Ben said scoffing and looking away, "I was not... And I don't lose my temper!" Ben yelled once again. Rey took the opportunity of Ben looking away to walk closer to him. She placed the palm of her hand on his chest softly,

"It's okay to say you were worried about me. I would have been worried about you too." Rey said slowly taking care in every word she spoke. Ben's cheeks became the color of roses and as he looked down at the girl, placing his hand over hers,

"You... You would have been worried about me?" Ben asked looking at her beautiful round eyes,

"Of course Ben, you mean a lot to me."

"I do?" Ben said leaning down a little to speak,

"Oh, Ben Solo." Rey laughed and stepped back from the angsty boy. The tension growing between them immediately subsided and she chuckled, "You're a funny one."

"Why do you keep saying that!" Ben said raising his voice again, causing Rey to laugh even more.

They both walked back to Luke Skywalker in silence, mostly because Rey was too busy looking at the ocean to speak. Until she finally broke the pleasant silence while still looking into the vast ocean,

"I've never seen this much water in one place."

"What do you mean?" Ben asked, startled at the confession,

"Since I grew up on Jakku, water was a luxury for me. I rarely had anything more can a quart a day." She said looking at Ben,

"Really?"

"Yeah," Rey smiled, "It's so beautiful, Ben. The way the ocean moves and crashes on the beach. I'm used to bitter dry sand everywhere, but the soft damp sand is so pleasant. And the colors of the ocean are amazin'. So many shades of blue and purple. That's why I came out here this morning, I wanted to see what it looked like when the sun was rising from it."

"Was it worth it?"

"Yes, I'd like to show you sometime Ben. We could go together." She spoke like he had never seen a sunrise, but it made Ben smile anyways.

"I'd love that Rey."

"Yeah."

>>

"Ben! Ben wake up!" Rey whisper-yelled at a sleeping Ben. He looked rather peaceful laying there, his hair was all over the place and his mouth was hanging open slightly. Rey nudged him with her hand and he say straight up, panicked,

"It's okay it's just me." Rey said from the edge of Bens bed.

"Rey?" Ben asked trying to let his eyes adjust in the darkness, "What time is it?" He asked finally finding her face in the dark room,

"4:30..." Rey said,

"Why are you here Rey?" Ben asked slightly annoyed, he didn't like to be woken from sleep. He liked to sleep a little too much,

"I thought we could go watch the sunrise together..." Rey said feeling embarrassed now, "But we don't have to... If-if you don't want." Rey's regretful face caught Bens attention,

"No, no Rey. I'd love to." He said grabbing her arm from his bed. The fact that she would think about this pleased Ben, this pleased him a lot.

"Okay. I'll just be," Rey pointed to his door to the small bedroom provided by Luke Skywalker, "I'll be out there." Slightly uncomfortably, Rey walked outside his bedroom and closed the door giving Ben a chance to get dressed. Rey was becoming slightly flustered at Bens bare chest as he laid in the small uncomfortable bed.

Ben changed into his black outfit minus the heavy coat, he didn't feel like lugging the thing around right now. Suddenly becoming aware of his appearance, he tried profusely to fix his messy bed hair. It always looked pretty bad, but for some reason he wanted it to look nice for Rey. The thought confused him and he pushed it away and left his hair as is.

"Rey?" Ben whispered after he opened the door, he shared the corridor with all the other residents. Including Luke, so they were careful to keep it down.

"Yeah? I'm right here." Ben couldn't make any figures out in the black hallway. Before Ben could ask again, he felt Rey lace her fingers through Bens as if to guide him.

"Follow me," she whispered and tugged at his hand.

She led him down the hallways and through a pair of heavy stone doors that opened up to the outside.  When they exited the building Bens voice caught in his throat,

"It, it's..." He stuttered,

"Beautiful, I know." Rey said looking up at the sky. It was painted the color of pink daisies scattered across the sky. Grey clouds smeared over the sky like someone had placed them there ever so meticulously. Ben has never really been up this early, so he'd never seen the sky light up like this. It was much earlier than he usually awoke, but he remembered Rey said she always woke up early.

"Does it- does it always look like this?" Bens mouth hung open as he gazed across the landscape.

"It pays off waking up early doesn't it?" Rey giggled and realized she was still holding bens hand. Before Ben responded be looked down as well and snapped his hand away, embarrassed his defensively responded,

"Shut up." But Rey just giggled and started walking towards the water down the hill. How was she always this happy? Ben wondered, she never seemed to be angry when he was almost always angry. It amazed him and confused him all at once. Rey was really the only girl he ever spent time around so he wondered if all girls were like this. They couldn't be, she was so special.

"Are you just going to stare or are you gonna walk too? We can't wait all day the sun will be up soon." Rey said making Ben realize he really was staring. He groaned and obliged, following her down to the water where she insisted was the best place to watch the sun rise.

They walked down the stone steps until reaching the same cave Rey was perched yesterday. She instinctively ran over to the rock she sat on yesterday and effortlessly swung her legs up. Ben watched as Rey patted the space next to her beaconing for him to sit as well. He trudged over in his heavy black attire and sat next to her. He simply started at for her several moments, he was annoyed but didn't know why. It seems to always be like that, he doesn't know why he's angry he just is. Since he didn't know why he was angry it just made him more angry.

"Ben," Rey said placing her hand on his leg and leaning forwards, "what's wrong?"

"Nothing-"

"No, don't push me away. Tell me." She said sounding almost too sincere.

"I dont know, okay. I never know why. I just am sometimes."

"It seems like it's always around me..." Rey started looking down,

"No, no Rey. It's not you." Ben said frantically, afraid he hurt her feelings, "I'm just frustrated, I don't know why. I feel so conflicted and I can't figure it out." Ben said placing his hand on her cheek,

"I think I know why," Rey said just before crashing her lips against his. As soon as she did Ben hesitated, until he realized why he was frustrated. He needed to be with her, he needed her. Ben kissed back feeling his whole body relax and his muscles relax.

"Rey.." Ben muttered against her lips. He pushed her on her back against the damp, cold rock. She shuttered at how cold it was and Ben realized this. He pulled his tunic top over his head and put it under her as a buffer from the coldness.

The kiss deepened as Ben hovered over Rey. He pushed his tongue into her mouth exploring every inch he could. Rey wrapped her legs around bens waist and Ben took the opportunity to grind his hips against hers, he had already gotten hard just from kissing her. His pants seemed to be getting tighter every second. He slid one hand under Rey's shirt and began to pull up,

"Ben..." Rey said with a worried tone, surprised Ben pulled away and searched her eyes for a hint of what was wrong.

"Are you okay? Did I hurt you?" Ben asked frantically,

"No, no. I just- I've never," realizing that Rey had never been with anyone hit Ben like a slap in the face. He was just going to carelessly take something so important from her without even thinking about it. He had from various outings he had off the planet. Usually with master Luke he managed to slip away to some lowly bar and find a few equally as low girls.

"Rey... I'm so sorry, I wasn't even thinking. I-"

"Ben," Rey reached her hand up and caressed his face, "I want it to be you." Rey's words honestly surprised Ben. Why would Rey want him? He was an angry, rude boy who slept around whenever he could.

"Just be gentle with me." Rey said feeling shy and looking away, "Please."

"Always." Ben said pulling his face down to meet hers. He planted a soft kiss onto her lips and smiled at her. She couldn't help but smile back. Even though she's never been with someone, she knew she wanted to be with Ben. It felt right and he felt safe. He grabbed a hold of her light pants and she raised her hips up to help him pull them off. He opted to keep her shirt on because it was rather cold in that cave, also he wanted her to feel as comfortable as possible.

He tossed her pants beside them and without saying a word, he lowered his hand to her entrance and painfully slowly rubbed her and every once in a while pushed a finger or two into her. He'd never taken anyone's virginity so he was cautiously surprised at how tight she was. He was afraid he really would hurt her. But he was pulled from his worry when Rey arched her back and moaned softly at Ben pumping his fingers this time more forcefully.

"Ben," she moaned into his shoulder while arching her back. She has never felt something like this before, she had no idea she could ever feel this good. She wanted more though, she wanted to make Ben feel good as well.

Rey reached for his pants and pulled them down, breaking their kiss momentarily. She grabbed ahold on his length and slowly but confidently began stroking him and swirly her thumb around the tip where moisture had gathered. His head fell in pleasure as she continued to be ever so gentle. The softness but also firmness on feud hands made Ben feel a kind of euphoric feeling he almost wasn't used to. Other girls had touched him, but not like this. With Rey it felt different, it felt so natural.

"Ben," Rey said quietly,

"What is it?" Ben whispered back, he wasn't sure we they whispered. It was like they were sharing every secret they've ever had in these moments. Like they were baring their souls to one another.

"I, I want you in me." A blush color crept across Rey's face as she admitted what she wanted.

"Okay, but if I hurt you you have to tell me," Ben grabbed ahold of her face while putting all his weight on his other arm as he hovered over her. Stroking slowly under her eyes with the pads of his fingers made him smile slightly, "I don't want to hurt you."

"You won't." Rey replied but knowing deep down she had heard stories of the pain of the first time. She didn't ask Ben if it was his first time because deep down she already new the answer, and she didn't want to hear it. All things considered it was his first time with her, and that's all that mattered to her.

Ben kissed across her neck and her collarbone and Rey wrapped her arms around him, clasping her fingers behind his neck. While she nervously pulled on the bottom of his unruly black hair, Ben pushed into her as slowly as he possibly could. Luckily she was already wet, but he still knew it would hurt. Rey winced at the feeling and turned her head towards the cave wall.

"Rey," Ben said feeling a knot growing in his stomach, "we don't have t-"

"No!" Rey said more forcefully that expected, "I want to Ben, I want you. Please."

Ben leaned down to meet her lips and kissed them softly over and over again as he moved. Rey did her best to not show pain, she wished all the pain away and tried to focus on the pleasure that was becoming stronger at every pump. After only maybe a minute, almost all the pain had subsided and Rey felt nothing but pleasure.

"Oh... God Ben," Rey moaned against his soft lips, she tightened her grasp on his neck and arched her back. Ben moved faster and they both began panting and moaning out profanities. Passion ignited between them and Rey felt like she was being torn apart but in the best possible way. The sound of the nearby ocean was almost lost in their whispered voices and the sound of skin.

"Fuck, you feel so good baby." Ben managed to say as he moved faster and more forceful with every fluid motion. He was for sure this time when be said it felt different with Rey. It felt so good and for once he didn't feel guilty when he touched her. He could focus all of his attention on her and explore her body with his mouth and it all felt right. Using one hand he placed a hand under her shirt causing her to shiver. She had almost forgotten it was there. Realizing this, she wanted to leave no part of her self hidden, so he sat up slightly making Ben sit back on his legs. She pulled her shirt off and threw it along side with the other growing pile on laundry. Ben couldn't help but take this monetary pause to grab her waist and kiss her body. He sat on the rock and placed Rey atop of his legs, he didn't put himself back in her to let the both of them rest. He had almost forgotten how tiring sex was.

Although they stopped, their passion did not. Ben fondled one of Rey's breasts while he licked and kissed the other. Rey's head fell back in pleasure and she processed to entwine her fingers in his hair. After only a few moments, Rey took it upon herself to rise and fall back onto Ben. She moved her hips rhythmically and smoothly which they both thought felt even better. Ben knew he wouldn't last much longer and the last thing in the world that he wanted was her to be pregnant so after only a few moments he panted,

"Rey, I'm going... To come. I can't come in you." Rey nodded and moved a few more times and moaned softly. She moved off of him and without giving Ben time to respond she wrapped her hands around his length again and pumped quickly until he came undone in her hands.

"Rey... Rey, oh god Rey." Ben panted and rested his head on hers. He breathed and caught his breathe for maybe two minutes. Just leaning on her and breathing felt nice, until the unsettling reality came to his head.

"Rey! You didn't finish," Ben said pulling his head from her shoulder,

"Oh, no that's okay Ben-" Rey attempted to brush it off as no big deal. But before she could even finish Ben pushed her onto her back and put her legs on either side of his head. Rey had no idea what has happening until-without warning-Ben licked slowly up her entrance and Rey's whole body came alive. He used his tongue to make her whole body tingle and eventually used his fingers as well. Rey decided she might like this even more. He pumped in and out of bed and continued to lick focusing on her nub. It felt like every part of Rey was dancing and she could help but practically scream out as Bens tongue pushed her over the edge.

"Ben! Oh, Ben that feels..." Rey came undone and Ben put her legs back down. She had her eyes shut, which made Ben laugh. Most of the times before Rey he would take this opportunity to leave, but he couldn't imagine leaving Rey right now. Instead he took him limp and sweaty body into his arms and sat her in his lap. He turned to face the entrance to the cave and realized, the sun was rising.

"Hey, Rey. Look." Rey opened her eyes and gasped. Bright oranges and yellows danced across the sky, teasing at the blue and white ocean just below it. The colors formed a symphony of hues that Rey would never be tired of seeing. She snuggles into Ben and felt happier than she maybe ever had. She was with Ben and Ben was her happiness and her heart. Her safety and her home.

Ben gazed out at the fiery sky and realized he was almost like the sky. It was unpredictable what colors you would see, some times soft blues and other times harsh reds. Even through his many shades Rey still wanted to see every color, and believed every single one was beautiful. She fit into him like a puzzle piece and he never intended to let go.

"Master Luke?" A young, bright eyed padawan pulled at Luke Skywalkers robes.

"Yes Ilea?" He replied gently,

"Where is master Ben and master Rey?"

"Oh, I don't think they will want to be disturbed right now."
