Are you supposed to feed that to dogs?

[ She's pretty sure you're not even supposed to feed most Denny's food to humans, but it's tasty and cheap, so she's not gonna think too hard about that. She glances over her shoulder towards Hux and finds him still staring at them. The sobriety fades out of her expression and she grins, giving a girlish wave before she and Poe disappear into the lift together.

The doors close and— ]

We almost died. Oh my god. He's going to tell Ren about this!

[ before he can elaborate on his dog's diet (of course he eats people food; he spoils bb as much as sandra bennet spoils mr. muggles), the doors are closed and rey is in full panic. which is understandable.

poe himself is not in full panic. but he kind of making a sour face, imbued with the knowledge that she's not wrong. ]

If Hux rats on us, we rat on Hux. I don't think Ren's gonna be happy to know that that shitbag was going through his emails. It's all about leverage.

Is there anyone in our college who actually likes each other?

[ Rey's thinking not at this point. Poe hates Ren and Hux. Hux hates Ren and Poe. Ren hates Hux and Poe. Maybe they should just all bang and get it over with. That sounds effective. Oh, god, getting rid of that mental picture is gonna be hard. ]

[ wow rey, keep your yaoi three-way fanfic to yourself. that's not the threesome god intended, although i'm sure it exists on ao3. ]

Uh... I think most of the students like each other. Maybe.

[ don't try to follow academic intrigue, rey. that's where the real game of thrones happens. ]

[ Rey laughs at that.

It's kind of a dark laugh. And silence follows it because she doesn't have anything for that. Then, when they get close to the bottom floor, she asks — ]

Do all of the professors have keys to the other offices in their pods?

[ poe is newly enthused like AH YES LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT. ]

No. He had to have made his own copy. So he could sneak in and do all the stuff we just watched him do.

Is that allowed? What other rooms does he have a key to?

[ She does not expect Poe to have these answers, but she wants to put the implications out into the world. ]

What do you think? No, it's not allowed!

[ okay, maybe that was a little mean. but they've had a high-tension evening. he sighs. be nice, dameron. ]

I don't know. But if he has the key to Ren's office, it wouldn't surprise me if he's got some others.

I don't like that.

[ Rey says it protectively. She realizes she's still holding Poe's arm, and lets it go then. She tries not to make a thing of it, or the fact that up there was definitely her first kiss. ]

I don't think you should get involved in this Poe. I think … I think we should both keep our distance from Professor Ren, or we'll get caught up in whatever that was about.

[ aww rey. good thing poe has the emotional awareness of a toaster. why is he like this??? we just don't know. ]

Is that so? I mean, I'm fine with letting the physics department eat itself. But I'm not gonna just sit there if he tries to come at me.

[ actual footage of poe yelling at kylo ren in the parking lot like last week probably ]

[ He does have the Dean, she supposes, but ... it still bothers her. Seeing Hux up there. It makes her feel like this is bigger than they realize and they're out of their depth. She looks up at the physics building as they leave it behind. ]

I'm not telling you not to defend yourself, just ... [ She frowns. ] Be careful.

[ he doesn't consider himself out of his depth ... but, then again, he is an idiot. ]

I'm careful. [ he scoffs, like anything just happened back there was careful. to be fair, he did maybe two (2) careful things. ] How do you think I should be more careful?

You could start by not volunteering on espionage missions into enemy territory.

[ Rey arches her eyebrows at him. ]

Especially not with people you barely know.

[ BUSTED. flustered flailing around anime character inside, suddenly very tetchy outside. ]

That was different.

[ REY YOU BAKA. what if he walks ... even faster to the car. BYE. ]

Different how?

[ She chases after him. This is about to get very anime. Or very rom com. Maybe both. She reaches out to grab his arm with the intention of forcing him to look at her just when they get to his car. ]

What was that about up there, huh? Kissing me?

[ no, not looking at people. not having to talk about feelings. that is his least favorite thing. he's only good at being gay and doing dramatic gay gestures when they don't involve having to feel his own personal feelings. ]

It was a distraction! He was probably gonna find us either way. Him finding us making out was better than him finding us cowering under the desk holding a copy of the midterm and you know it.

[ AND THEN. he dramatically averts his eyes. ]

I wanted to help you because I like you. Not like — not like that. I mean, you're nice. And I know Finn likes you.

[ ??? ]

Because you like me or because Finn likes me?

[ She sounds a little indignant, a little defensive. Like, okay, she wants to set him up with Finn, don't mistake her. But she's also like ? ?? motherfucker that was my first kiss and you don't even like me ?? ? ]

... Both?

[ you might think this is leading to a threesome but also consider that he's a dumbass. ]

Not interested.

[ Rey blurts that out abruptly. It's the sort of abrupt blurting out that comes from someone who has been propositioned for a threesome before in her life. ]

[ ????????

oh. wait. time to think about his words and how they sound coming out of his mouth. a novel idea. ]

That's not what I meant! I like you! As a friend. Who I just met. And I like Finn. As a ... uh, someone I'm interested in.

[ Rey scowls at him, the look of someone who suspects backtracking. But it is … what she'd wanted to hear, ultimately. And he does look really sorry. So she softens a little, her lips tugging into something more neutral, more understanding. ]

He's in your class. And, like, half your age.

[ Not arguments Rey is interested in, honestly, but arguments that she feels Poe better have answers for before she lets him touch Finn. ]

And you kissed me.

He's not half my age. Nine years younger isn't half. [ WILD HOW HE HAD THAT MATH ON HAND. ] But, yeah. I know how it looks. That's why I haven't done anything! Maybe when he's not in my class anymore, I dunno.

[ but then he frowns. because he is suddenly hit with the consequences of his actions. (as usual.) and it's only now that he realizes that impromptu kissing may have meant more to rey than it did to him. wow. he's the worst. ]

I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking about how that came off. ... Was it bad?

[ That's actually very gentlemanly — being willing to wait until Finn's passed his class this semester — and almost, almost counterbalances the fact that Poe kissed Finn's roommate. Poe stole her first kiss. To fool Hux. ]

It was fine.

[ She's immediately defensive. God, she shouldn't have even said anything. It's hitting her now. What kind of maladapt hasn't kissed someone by the time they're nineteen? She'd always been so lonely as a kid, never fitting in, and — But Poe wasn't like that. Poe was almost twice her age, by that Finn math, and obviously knows enough to put some thought and planning into this process of hooking up with Finn.

Maybe she's the only one out of her depth tonight. ]

It's — Look, forget it. It doesn't matter.

I — okay.

[ he doesn't know what else to say at this juncture. he can't un-kiss her, if that's what she's upset about. continuing to talk about it probably won't make it any better.

finally, he gets to the process of unlocking the car and getting back inside. once he's sitting in the driver's seat, he tries to make amends in his own special way. ]

Do you want to go to Denny's for real?

[ She hovers. On his side of the car, even, to make her hovering more apparent. ]

I'm not very hungry. [ Which, by Rey definition, means she must be sick and dying. ] You don't have to drive me back. It's nice out, anyway.

[ She feels weird about all of this. Is it wrong to feel weird about all of this? Poe had seen her using skills she had tried to escape in coming here, to commit an illegal act that could get her kicked out that she'd done on his promise that he'd take the fall, they'd found out that there was some weird Game of Thrones bullshit in the physics department, she'd confirmed Poe and Finn were totally going to get together, and Poe had kissed her.

There's a lot there. Like, a lot. She sort of needs to not people for a while. ]
