A smile spread over Finn's face despite how serious he had been. Poe's joy was infectious. And what was Finn doing being so serious right now, anyway? They should be smiling and laughing more.

When it became clear Poe was talking about Rey and Rose, Finn closed his eyes and laughed a little bashfully. "I do love them," he admitted, "but with you, it's- I've never-" He had no idea how to begin describing it. Poe was his first friend, a legend in his own right, always with a smile and a friendly voice. He cared deeply for his friends, but Poe was an entirely different level. How did he say that?

"You gave me a shot," he finally found. "You cared about me from the start. You called me by a name. I care about them, but you-..." He was getting serious again. Finn smiled and nuzzled back. "You can take a Jedi any day, Dameron."
