Din Djarin - Broken Vow Bonus Scene

Here is the bonus scene to Broken Vow! I also might have a full part 2 coming...? What do you think, my lovelies?

"Kar'ika..."

There was a finger tracing soft shapes along your cheek.

"Ner kar'ika, wake up."

Your eyelashes fluttered open, blinking at the soft pink hue of the binary Tatooinian sunrise.

Mando trailed his hand along your cheekbone, tucking loose strands of hair behind your ear. "It's time to go."

Memories of yesterday crashed into you at lightspeed. "I— I fell asleep." You sat up fast, bringing a hand to cover your mouth as embarrassment settled upon you. You whipped your gaze toward his dark visor. "I fell asleep! By the Maker, I am so sorry. You're injured and I was supposed to be taking care of you and what if someone came along—"

Mando's glove hand moved to where yours had been not a moment ago, effectively ceasing your rambling. "It's okay. I..." His helmet turned away from you as if he was looking away. "I liked that you felt comfortable enough to fall asleep in my arms. Protecting you... it makes me happy, ner kar'ika."

You're trapped in a state of shock with wide eyes and flushed cheeks as your Mandalorian stands up and then offers you not one, but two hands. You place both of your own atop his, allowing him to pull you to your feet. You can't even find it in you to respond.

That black glass is once again locked in your direction. "Did you mean it?" he asks.

Out of all the things you said last night while he was dying, you knew there was only one thing to which he could be referring. "M-mean what?"

Without missing a beat, he answers, "That you love me."

Wow, well that's straightforward. Everything inside of you hurt but in a good way. You couldn't breathe, your heart was jumping into hyperdrive, and your muscles felt like they were turning inside out. Somehow, you found the strength to say something. "Mando, I—"

"Din."

"What?" Does he even want an answer to his question? What in Malachor did he interrupt me for?

It took him a few seconds this time, at least two full breaths on your part. "My name is Din Djarin. I want you to use it."

Oh.

Oh.

Your Mandalorian just gave you his name. He wasn't just Mando to you anymore— not that he ever really was just Mando, but now he was—

"Din," you whispered, your voice so delicate you weren't sure he heard you.

And then that helmet tilted in the most irritatingly hot way and you knew he had heard. "Did you mean it?"

"Yes," you squeaked, surprising yourself with your speedy answer.

You are an entirely different person around demanding Din.

It was at that moment that you realized you were still holding his hands from when he pulled you up.

Din squeezed them both gently, and then he released only one. The way he turned his body after that— Maker help me. He wanted to hold your hand on the walk back to Peli's hangar. I'm going to die right here.

And then he said one more heart-palpitating word that sent you over the metaphorical edge into an ocean of pure elation and bliss.

"Good."

Mando'a Translations:
Ner kar'ika — my little star

So this nickname is something I came up with for my full Din fic... do we like it? I have a few other options as well which I might test out in the future.
