This is before Empire Strikes Back but a few months after A New Hope.

Han's pov

I have a small problem, oh whom am I kidding! I have a huge problem! I need to ask Leia out before Luke beats me to it, I don't know what's wrong with me. I've never been so nervous near a girl and a girl who won't fall for my charm! There's something definitely wrong with me. Am I losing my attractiveness?!

I need to think of a plan to ask her out, maybe Chewie can help? Oh what am I thinking! He'd try and sabotage me. I need someone who'll help me without embarrassing me to death. Maybe Luke could help me if I showed him that I'm serious about her. No, he'd just tease me and smoothly ask her out. I guess it's all up to me...

Leia's pov

I've been working all week but no success at finding out the Empire's new plan. I'm also getting really annoyed with Luke, I hope he can hear me through the force. I AM TIRED OF LUKE SKYWALKER ASKING ME ABOUT DATES! Ugh! Even Han flirting with me would be therape-

"BAMM!!!" 

What was that?!...

"BAMM!!!"

There it is again, it surely can't be someone knocking on my door. Could it?! Probably a mechanic trying to get the speeders to work here on Hoth. I shouldn't worry about such things, right know I should focus on the Empire and decoding this letter my father sent right before Alderaan, ughh, the planet blew up thanks to that creep! VADER!!!

"*knock* *knock*" Ahh, that is my door but if it's Luke I'll take that lightsaber from his hand and give him a scar like his father's! (I thought maybe, Bail had shown her some Jedi or 'Hero With No Fear' pictures)

"Leia! Are you in there?!"

"Coming!" Phew it's just Han not Luke.

I went to the door and pushed a button on my panel to open it. When I opened the door I saw him, he was wearing his pants with the Corellian Bloodstripe and typical brown jacket. I might swoon if I see him like this again, wait! What that in his hand? A Rose! How'd he get that on Hoth? Anyway, I wonder if Luke sent him, I doubt it actually. Luke knows he'd ask me to go out with himself instead of him.

"Hey there Your Worship." He said in that smooth voice of his, ahh, I feel like I could just fall into his ha- wait! Why am I thinking this?! Have I fallen for the smuggler?! I decided to stay calm cause I- ehh we needed Han for the fleet.

"Hey there mr. Smuggler." I decided was a good come back.

"Smuggler?! You know I prefer Pilot." He proudly announced.

"So I've heard, why're you here?!"

"Can't a man see his General?" He replied in a question which got me confused. He never took orders directly from me, he always needed a self motivation to do it.

"Not this one usually but seriously, why are you here? Did Luke send you cause if he did you can tell him that my blaster will be aimed for his right arm and lightsaber.

"Why would Luke send me?" He asked genuinely confused.

"He's been trying to ask me out all week, it's getting annoying." I replied in an annoyed voice.

"Oh, well, if you're free I wanted to- I mean I was wondering." Han stopped and looked scared for a moment, "Would you wanna maybe, you know... go on a date with me by any chance?... It's totally fine if you aren't up for it!"

"Woah, not what I was expecting but," I paused, I had no idea what to say. My mind said no while my heart said yes, I generally follow both when they agree but father always said to follow the force so I presumed that meant my soul which I presumed was mainly my heart so I decided why not, " Sure, I'll go out with you. On one condition."

"Anything!" He answered as if he was desperate.

"We do it, in secret." I replied not sure that I wanted everyone to know that I'm going on a date with a hun- oh what am I thinking?! But he is a hunk...

"Deal." He replied and handed me the rose which I gratefully took, I'd noticed it was the same shade of red as the stripe on his pants and blushed a bit, which I hope he took as a reason of the cold.

"Bye Leia and see you tomorrow at the Falcon." He said and left.

"Bye."

Han's pov

YES!!! I asked her out and she said yes! Now I've got a date to plan.

Nobody's pov

It took him the entire day but he managed to plan a date and get ready with some items. It was hard at some points for him to collect certain items but he still got it ready. He also had to help the mechanics, fix the Falcon again and talk to some pilots about the defence posts which took up most of his time. Meanwhile, Leia was practically jumping for joy in her mind, she had been waiting for Han to ask her out even if it took a decade and a century after death. She was trying to pick out something to wear to make Han fall harder than ever. Thankfully her aunts prepared her for something like this, she had to make an impression and statement which said that I'm right for you and yours to keep. She finally got the right outfit for the date. They both went to sleep excited for the next day.
