While Finn's hug was firm, Rey's hug was tight, as though she was afraid of letting go. She felt safe in his arms, felt peace....and comfort? She felt a rush of warmth, electricity and something she couldn't describe. Something that slipped into her heart and locked on. Something that made her reluctant to let go.
If...she didn't have her mother's love, she could make peace with that. She could continue living, but if Finn wasn't around. If she could not see him, or hold him, it would be the death of her. She shouldn't have such strong feelings for him, but they were taking root, and gods, she wished she could have a sliver of what Poe had with Finn.
To feel so cherished--loved by him...by them.
It was enough to make her heart ache and cause tears to form in the corners of her eyes. She took in a deep breath and pressed her face in the crook of his neck, willing herself to not cry.
HI IM SORRY the holiday's have been wrecking my life
Oh, something had changed. He wasn't sure if it was himself or the vulnerability of the moment, though. All he really knew was that a surge of protectiveness shot through him hard enough to leave him trembling.
His hand pressed against the back of her head gently, his face falling to her shoulder. "You're okay. Everything's okay now. You can stay as long as you wish. We want you to stay as long as you wish."
Try as Rey could, the tears welled up in her eyes. They fell down her cheeks after Finn spoke those words to her. She didn't think Poe would want her around, not after their argument, but Finn. He chipped away at the walls she built up, and after coming to the realization that Demeter did not care for her in the same way, but Finn seemingly did...
She didn't want to let go of him. Not if she had to.
Rey shifted her head a little, giving a small nod, and tried her best to keep her crying as silent as could be. Finn may have her a sniffle or two...or maybe feel her heart aching. They were close enough...or maybe whatever connection they felt with one another would take a stronger hold.
