It was over. The war was over, and it had not gone quietly. The planet surface was littered with the corpses of ships and people alike, a new Jakku. A new graveyard. But this cemetery was full of not only the dead but the dying - people crying out from the rubble and the wreckage, unsure of even if the battle was over. It wasn’t a pretty sight for anyone.

Poe was fairly certain he was dead.

He’d gone down in the last moments, the massive explosion just a little two big form him to outfly, shrapnel from the planet killing weapon tearing through his ship and sending him plummeting to the ground below. He’d passed out on reentry. The only reason he wasn’t actually dead was because BB-8 had managed to make the crash landing one they might actually recover from. But Poe was in bad shape.

He was awake, but everything hurt and he was having a hard time focusing on anything through the pain. Something had torn open his side and he wasn’t so sure he had a left leg, anymore a he couldn’t feel it to check.

BB-8 was broadcasting a distress signal and nervously rambling at him in binary constantly, but Poe was so tired it was all he could do to gently pat the droid’s head.

“...s’alright, buddy,” he murmured. “...gonna be alright....”

He was floating in and out of conciousness, but Finn's voice pierced through the haze, and despite himself, Poe found a small smile floating to his lips as he leaned back to look up into Finn's face.

"Oh, hey," he said, his voice weirdly soft. "Look'it you. Lookin'... looking good. Looking tough..." He was wavering again, his sight getting blurry, and he tried blinking it away.

"We win?" He was having a hard time remembering, right now. He should be able to remember. He should.

Poe tasted the iron tang of blood before he realised what it was from. Finn pulling him from the cockpit hurt so bad that he'd bit into his cheek hard enough for it to bleed.

Well.

What was more blood right now, anyway.

Speaking was kind of out of the question - it took everything Poe had just to keep breathing through the pain, his whole body trembling with it once Finn finally got him free. He vaguely heard BB-8 doing the equivalent of crying in binary, and Poe curled in against Finn's chest while murmuring:

"It's okay, buddy. We'll get you... we'll get you all fixed up. It's gonna be okay."

"Thought you guys could use a hand," Poe mumbled, the joke response automatic and barely thought through. It was hard to breathe and harder to think and he just kind of slumped where Finn left him, not able or willing to move.

"Not sure what... think we blew it up? We blew it up, right, buddy?"

BB-8 had dragged itself out of the wreckage, but its chasis was heavily damaged, and it was having to use its magnetic tethers to drag itself over to the pair of them. It let out a mournful but affirmative sound.

"Yeah, you worry too much, buddy, you'll be okay..." His voice wavered, his eyes sliding shut.

Force, he was tired.

"Gonna be okay..."

Poe's eyes fluttered open, pupils dilating and then constricting as he focused on Finn's face.

A soft smile flickered at his lips.

"Only thing I ever really want to look at," he murmured lazily as the heavy sound of boots running towards them got louder. "You know, Finn, I..." But he trailed off, his eyes fluttering shut again, the pain ebbing away into numb static.
flightforfreedom: (is that what we're doing now?)

Poe faded in an out for the next two days. Sometimes unintentionally, and then more often because someone pumped so many drugs into him that staying awake was impossible.

So he hadn't said much of anything, for a while. Until now.

"... you know," he murmured, his voice a low rasp, "I'm so thirsty I think I would start sucking on comet ice..."

Poe felt completely exhausted, and still pretty out of it, but he turned his head to Finn's voice and smiled, far too warmly, his eyes crinkling with it.

"No promises," He murmured, leaning forward a little to pull the straw into his mouth.

He sighed with happiness after he took a long, slow drink.

"Thanks, Finn," he murmured. "You are... you're literally the best thing in the galaxy, you know that?"
flightforfreedom: (then we hit em where it hurts)

[personal profile] flightforfreedom 2019-07-25 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Mmmmm..." He wondered aloud, still looking too pleased and too happy to be where he actually was, with his leg now sporting a hell of a lot of metal mesh where his skin should be.

"Remember you pullin' me out," he decides after a moment. "But it's pretty... It's pretty hazy. Not a drop of pain, though, so... so must be the real good stuff." He reached out, a little blindly, hand feeling around until it found Finn's.

"Thanks."

For saving his life. You know. The small things.

The gentle press of Finn's lips to his forehead made his chest blossom with warmth, his throat constrict a little, a heat behind his eyes.

Ah, damn.

Maybe it was the painkillers, but it was really hard to ignore just how in love he was with the guy, right now.

"Didn't mean to scare you," he murmured, squeezing Finn's hand with length strength than he should have had, but a surprising amount, considering how much blood he'd lost. "Not even... not even my worse few days, to be honest." He paused, and then, a little wryly: "Shouldn't you be out celebrating? There's got to be a hell of a party on right now..."
flightforfreedom: (look he's pleased for once)

[personal profile] flightforfreedom 2019-07-25 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, I'm not complaining," Poe replied, smiling wide enough that even with the painkillers he could feel the sharp tug across his cheeks.

"You can stay here forever, as far as I'm concerned."
flightforfreedom: (but we all know i'm the best)

“Doctor can wait,” Poe murmured, all too happy to let Finn cover him in kisses, apparently.

“Think you’re healing me faster than they could anyway,” he teased lowly, eyes fluttering open as Finn pulled away again.

“Think I could request a proper kiss?”
flightforfreedom: (fond smile)

[personal profile] flightforfreedom 2019-07-25 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It was hard to remember, in the haze of drugs and relief, why they didn’t just do this all the time. Why he didn’t just give in to how much he wanted to touch and hold Finn pretty much all the time when they were together.

Poe melted into the kiss, letting Finn deepen it as much as he wanted, returning it with a lazy passion.

A shudder ran up his spine as he felt the barest brush over his chest.

Oh. No one had really touched him there since—

“Not made of glass,” he murmured against Finn’s lips. “It’d be worth the bacta ...”
flightforfreedom: (talking over his shoulder)

[personal profile] flightforfreedom 2019-07-25 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Poe felt a hot flush of arousal between his legs as he groaned quietly, the touch of Finn’s hand on his thigh way more intense than he thought possible.

It also sobered him up very quickly.

“Yeah,” he said a little breathlessly, unconsciously tilting his hips towards Finn’s hand. “But there’s.. Finn, there’s things I haven’t told you...”
