The anger sapped out of Finn instantly, his shoulders falling with his heart. Out of every way he expected this conversation to go, this wasn't one of them. It was worse, though. Worse than getting screamed at, far worse than joining Poe on a senseless revenge quest. Worse than every outcome Finn could have thought of, and he'd caused it. Or, at least, hadn't prevented it.

Realizing how terrible he was with words, Finn reached out to splay his free hand over Poe's back, pausing just long enough to see if he was going to be pushed away. If it didn't come, he moved closer, wrapping Poe in an all-encompassing hug and holding him to his chest, other hand still gripped tight.

There was so little he could do for him. It just made his heart shatter more.
