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."

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.”
