[ it's not a drill, people, there's another hug happening. finn is okay with that. poe is a... hugging type. finn needs more data before he figures out if he's a hugging type personally, or if he's more like a hug-exactly-one-person type.
the idea of hugs from other people sounds weird. a lot of stuff sounds weird, though.
"okay. i won't." is an easy thing to doubt. for all that it's not an outright promise, it carries the weight of one. pretty much anything in the galaxy, external or internal, could swoop in and make it moot. the first order could kick their way in right now somehow and make this a murder party. poe could change his mind. it could be that the second he 100% feels a trust and capitalizes on it, it'll turn out someone was only waiting for the most prime opportunity to ruin everything. it'll all mysteriously go up in smoke and phasma will be there like "fam you are making this a million times worse on yourself than it has to be".
but consider: finn is tired, and poe really is the most important thing that he has. the most important thing that found him. whatever. at a certain point he runs up into his own brick wall of bullshit so much that he doesn't even bother registering it for a while.
so he hugs poe back even though it's a weird position, because he also knows how to commit to sparkle motion. ]
