Try as he might he's unable to speak
He grabs her by the hair,
he strokes her on the cheek
The bed is unmade like everything is
Dark little heaven at the top of the stairs
Take me like that, ruin it all
Then build it again by the light in the hall
He drops to his knees
says please my love, please
I'll kill who you hate,
take off that dress,
you won't freeze

One More Night - Stars

*********

By the time the two of you are dressed and presentable, the ship's occupants have grabbed their belongings and are leaving the ship. BB-8 and BB-9 are waiting for you outside of the ship having been given orders by Poe and Leia to escort you should the two of you be 'occupied,' when the ship landed.

Unfortunately, you reach the ship's ramp at the same time as they do. Leia turns and faces both of you with a wicked look on her face.

"Well don't you two look nice. Thank you for making sure my son is clean and presentable," she smiles at you then at Ben.

The blush starts at his neck and creeps up all the way to his ears when Han and Poe give him a knowing look.

"I told you your mother knew your cock-"

"Please, I'm begggging you. Stop talking about my mother and my cock in the same sentence."

Ben side eyes you as the blush intensifies. You give him a very satisfied smile before glancing at Han and Leia. Han pats Ben on the back roughly after both of you reach them.

"Glad to see your taking care of her," he smirks.

"Dameron, how many credits would it take for you to shoot me in the abdomen again?," Ben asks as he runs his hand through his hair.

"Best friends don't shoot each other," Poe says to Ben as if it's an obvious answer.

"For the last time we are not-"

"Come on Finn, I'll show you around," Poe grabs Finn by the arm and starts to walk through the large crowd gathered outside of the ship.

The various pilots that had joined the fight against the Supremacy are landing their small ships all around you. The Resistance members that had stayed on the base happily congregate around the large outdoor hangar, greeting each other and celebrating a successful win against the First Order.

As Leia begins to walk towards the buildings where the command center is held, the crowd starts to part to make room for the General. Han catches up to her and throws his arm over her shoulder affectionately.

As if seeing his father's obvious affection for his mother gives him courage, Ben intertwines his fingers with yours. You look down at your conjoined hands then back up at him. He doesn't make eye contact with you but gives your hand a squeeze.

Too focused on the new public display of affection, it takes a minute for you to notice how quiet the crowd has become. When you do, you look around to see what the reason for the sudden change in atmosphere is but see nothing, nothing except a lot of eyes on you and Ben.

"Why is everyone looking at us like that?" you whisper to Ben.

"Everyone thought Ben was dead. Not only that but the two of you defeated Snoke, the Supreme Leader of the First Order. People are going to act a little weird around you for a bit," Leia answers after overhearing you.
