Rey doesn’t understand why Poe keeps tormenting her.
Double Drabble (200 words) written for the Damerey Fic Challenge
Prompt: Teasing
“Hold still, you’ve got dirt on your nose.”
Rey obeys and Poe grabs onto her jaw lightly. He licks the thumb on his opposite hand and starts rubbing her nose. After a moment he says, “Oops. Nope. That’s just your freckles.”
Rey smacks him on the shoulder and he dances away laughing.
“Why does he do that?” Rey asks Leia later.
“What?” Leia looks at her protégé. “Tease you?”
“Is that what he’s doing?” Rey grumbles.
“Oh, Rey, he’s just trying to get your attention,” Leia smiles.
Rey contemplates this for a moment. “Then how do I let him know he has it?”
Leia thinks for a moment. “Well, if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that Dameron can’t turn down a dare.” She gives Rey a wicked grin. “I would challenge him next time.”
The next day Rey is working on Poe’s X-Wing. A spark flies.
“Hey!” Poe exclaims. “Break my ship and you’re asking for a spanking!”
Rey is on her feet in an instant, facing him toe to toe.
Softly she says, “I’d like to see you try.”
His eyes widen, then his pupils dilate, then his mouth curls up at the corner.
Game on.
