Drown Your Lovers (a Reylo fanfic)

Sneak Peek

"Why don't you two get married?"

Both Rey and Ben froze. They barely knew each other and even though they were now accomplices and shared a bond, marriage, even a fake one, was too much for them.

"Yeah! Think about it! It is far less complicated than changing your legal name and you both can enjoy a lot of benefits."

Ben pondered the suggestion. He looked at Rey. Her new haircut made her look both more mature and adorable. He smiled and she smiled back. Her eyes were no longer empty when she gazing at him and she seemed to feel rather safe in his presence. After all, she was the one who pursued him in the first place. And all because she was alone and he was alone too.

He cleared his throat and spoke.

"Well... right now you are nobody. You come from nothing, you have nothing..."

"Yes, I know that!"

She was visibly upset.

Ben pouted.

"But not to me."

Rey's frown lines were getting softer. Ok, that was good! He looked at his long fingers and at his father's ring. He took it off and bit his lip, then he knelt in front of her.

"Rey, would you like me to share my last name, health insurance and belongings with you?"
