Poe’s lungs were almost struggling to keep up, and he wet his lips.

“Uh huh.” Eloquent. “And you’re Trooper.”

He sounded like he was in awe of it. He swallowed, brushing knuckles against Finn’s jaw.

It was quiet and almost hesitant when he asked: “So when you were talking about a friend you were trying to get over...”

Please don’t be Rey. Or Rose. Or anyone but him.

It made his heart pound, aching, but it was a good kind of ache. He was an idiot, but this- he never even dreamed

“I thought you were in love with someone else,” he whispered. “This whole time, I thought I- I didn’t want to get in the way, didn’t want to ruin whatever happiness you wanted— Finn, I’ve always been interested in you. If you had any idea how much I’ve always wanted to do this...”

He trailed off, eyes glancing back down to Finn’s lips, and then leaned in to take a slow, longing kiss.

He only had time to take a breath, to listen to the words, and then he was gripping Finn again and taking a kiss as hard as he could, as if he could make up for every kiss that he'd missed.

But he was abruptly shaken out of it by a gruff alien with four arms who shoved his shoulder and said: "Get a room! Yer blockin' the hangar."

It was good that Finn responded first, because Poe was just about to round on the poor guy. Itself he was getting tugged back into the hanger and onto the ship and—

“I can’t actually believe this,” Poe whispered in a rush as he pulled Finn into the darkness of the ship and stole another long, claiming kiss.

Poe blinked, totally lost for a second as he had forgotten literally everything else in the moment, and then: “Oh! Oh, right!” He hesitated, before taking another kiss in a rush and then pulling away to head for the cockpit.

“I have a picnic packed and everyone- Force, I cant believe I’m such a moron. Trooper. Can I suddenly not read?

Poe grinned as he took the kiss and then started going through the pre-launch checklist, flipping seemingly random switches as the shuttle slowly started to blink to life.

"I'm not sorry. Not for that. Damn. I would have asked you out over a year ago if I hadn't -- Damn it, Rey even tried to tell me and I was too stupid--" He can't seem to stop grinning, though, as if the reality of what was happening was finally dawning on him.

"Do I still have to tell you how long I've been in love with you? Or is that- is that common knowledge, now."
flightforfreedom: (oh hey i get that joke)

Poe hadn't even fully realised what he'd said. His relief was just so strong that his analysis abilities had evaporated - everything he was thinking was just immediately spilling out his mouth.

"Oh, you know, not long. Only from about five minutes after I met you. Though I guess that was more just crush stage and the rest only hit when you showed up with BB-8."

BB-8, who, of course, was right there, and watching this all go down while keeping himself as quiet as possible. He'd listened to enough of Poe's upset rants about the subject to know not to interfere, right now, but he was... also recording. Like a creeper.

“I’m going to make it up to you,” Poe decided, both the decision and the promise made in the same instant. “For not just- for not just telling you how I felt, I’m going to make up every single day to you.”

The engine finally fully revved to life, and Poe pulled back on the controls as it leapt into life, racing up into the sky.

“Starting with this one.”
