kinks if ya nasty
no subject
[ he shrugs a little. he may have forced other people to bring their parents out of retirement to fight for the resistance (cough snap's stepdad wedge antilles) but he sure did not include his own dad. maybe kes hurt his leg and is mulan's dad. maybe he didn't want to ask because he's an understandably selfish gremlin??? unsolved mysteries. ]
Look, he's... my dad is the best person I know. There are times I thought he'd never forgive me and he still did, you know? I know it's because he's my dad, but it doesn't not... mean anything. He's gonna like you. I know he is.

finn makes a face. it's a rare day when he doesn't make a face, because he is dramatic.
han solo was so easy... he just constantly argued with and judged him, which han probably missed having in his daily life after packing up a bindle and going back to his family-free depression mode. finn was in peak stressed form. no room for hero worship or thinking about his choices.
right now it's like, at all costs he must not approach this man like he would approach han solo. this is a parent parent. a parent in the parent position. not like a fellow soldier in the trenches becoming a friend who also happens to be older and have kids. a person poe always talks about as being a good and kind and wise person and a great dad.
someone... who deserves manners. ]
I'll settle for not not liking me. [ neutral is still in the safety zone. he can have a sustainable farm with poe and their droid children in his fantasies if his imaginary father in law is ambivalent.
finn gives poe's shoulder a squeeze. the intricate rituals... it occurred to him that he might be infecting poe with anxieties over a simple human interaction. ]
Even if he does have a problem, it's okay. Okay? I'm not gonna take it personally.
[ he doesn't want poe to worry that he'll think kes dameron is a jerk if he ends up going "i kinda don't want an ex-stormtrooper on my couch."
when someone has beef with him when they hear where he's from, it's usually just that they have a larger and more complex beef with the first order. which is a beef that finn also has. realistically, the hostile part doesn't usually last long before they're all doing epic handshakes about how much fascists suck.
it's never been an actual personal thing.
he actually kinda feels better reminding himself of that.
if he hadn't skipped his homework and had read all the sequel trilogy supplementary material, of course, he'd know that kes is a scholar and a saint and all this worrying has been for nothing. ]

He won't have a problem. And if he does, I'll take it personally.
[ he WILL throw down with his dad over his uh... friend... who he likes a lot. his super friendly friend. (can't believe there aren't any spare beds in the house so they'll have to share his bed.) ]
It'll be fine. We're gonna have dinner, maybe spend the night, then grab supplies in the morning. You can handle a dinner, right?
[ if things go wrong, they can sleep on the falcon honestly. poe will make up some excuse about being sick. he is trying to mastermind every bandersnatch option at this dinner. it all depends on two of the most important people in his life getting along. ]
no subject
it's gonna be anticlimactic.
it also hasn't occurred to finn yet that he'll get to snoop around poe's old room and ask him about the stuff on his desk or whatever. he got to the junky yard ships and they were already so full of flavor. ]
Yes, I can handle a dinner. [ he really is giving this every ounce of meet-the-boyfriend's-parents energy that he can muster. dumb. he gives himself a mental peptalk.
the mental peptalk is really only him telling himself things like "don't be a baby" or "get that shit on a leash already" (to paraphrase). he's put up with worse than dinner with someone poe swears by being really great. he's buddies with rose now, and she hated his guts for 90% of tlj while they were crammed into shuttles together. anything is possible.
and maybe most importantly, he doesn't want poe to think he's being a baby. he will not find the end of the patience line on this specific occasion. he can and he will handle a dinner. ]
Come on.
[ when in doubt, start walking before you can psych yourself out of it. which might be the philosophy behind every choice ever made in star wars canon. ]

[ it's just that brand of amused teasing that poe thrives on. he picks up his own pace a little bit to catch up and then let finn into casa de dameron. it's... a (ranch)house that looks much cleaner than one might anticipate, given that poe tends to be a messy garbage gremlin. as it turns out, the same does not apply to kes.
as poe leads the way, it's with grace and ease that makes it seem like he was only gone a day instead of months or more on end. ]
Dad? [ no response. ] He must be out in the woods. He'll be around soon. Can't miss the ruckus we made.
[ on that note, he grabs a fruit from a fruit bowl on the kitchen counter.] Want an orange?
