“It's very cold.”
“You come from a warm planet, Ani. A little too warm for my taste. Space is cold.”
Double Drabble
Prompt: Huddling Together for Warmth
Poe stood as Rey entered the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon. It was a three-day trip through hyperspace to Rugosa, so during the night cycle he, Rey, and Chewie rotated shifts in the cockpit, just to keep an eye on things. It was Rey’s turn, and he had to smile as she walked in wearing a coat. Rey hated being cold.
He covered his mouth as he yawned and she glanced at him, giving him a wry smile as they scooched past each other in the tight quarters. As she flopped down in the pilot’s chair, he told her, “Let me know if you need anything.” Then he headed for the passenger bunk.
The sound of the Falcon’s hyperdrive lulled him to sleep, but he woke quickly enough hours later when he felt someone crawl into the small bunk.
“Rey?”
“You said if I needed anything to let you know,” she said softly as she snuggled against him, resting her head on his chest. “I’m cold.”
“The master bunk might be more comfortable, you know.”
“You think so?” There was a challenge in her voice.
Yeah, maybe not. Smiling, he wrapped his arms around her, and went back to sleep.
