He just smiled back for a long moment, no blushing or any hint of
embarrassment or guilt. Just contentment. There'd be whistles and comments
from the other pilots and his own troops, and that's fine. They'd be no
investigations, no demands from up top it stop or it would be taken care
of. If his old squadmates in the Order had any idea what the galaxy was
like, outside of that horrific mindset...
His chest - and his face, though he didn't know it - glowed. He hadn't
thought Finn would disagree - they'd spent the last few weeks in close
quarters - but there had always been a chance. Always been that slight edge
that hinted that things might not be the same, when they got back on base.
That all the words exchanged, though still felt, would stay here. Off duty.
So the smile widened into a grin, before he leaned around the table to
steal a kiss.
"Perfect." He murmured. "I was afraid I was going to have to pitch a tent
outside your door and wax on with terrible poetry."
Damn, the idea of holding out doing something he wanted for greater reward
hadn't come to mind. He'd have to put that piece of information away in the
future. Even if it was just building up good behavior from the pilot,
instead of over the top acts of...whatever that plan fell under.
He stole another kiss before leaning back into his own chair, still
grinning.
"Oh distant fateful star, whose light is all that guides, reflecting dimly
in his eyes--" He really wasn't a poet, and he couldn't keep a straight
face. "Something, something, you really should see him with his shirt off--"
Finn burst out laughing, head tipping back as Poe finished with his grand
shirt off line. Perfect man. Infuriating, stubborn, suicidal, and
perfect man.
"Alright, alright. Stop before I start thinking about this too hard and
realize how insane I really must be."
"What? Have you seen your chest, lately? Pure poetry," Poe said, still
grinning. He was sitting back, but he couldn't help the impulse to touch
him, so he reached out and slid a hand over Finn's wrist.
"And 'pretty insane' is probably the answer you're looking for. By the way."
Don't let him die alone. The smile doesn't falter, but he tugs
the hand Poe has on his wrist up to him to place a kiss on the back of his
hand. Very gentleman like, or so some of the terrible holovids involving
pilots winning the lady fair had taught him in the past couple months.

His expression soften, tea utterly forgotten between his hands.
"... Yeah." He said, the warmth in his voice unmistakable. "As long as it's what you want, Finn, I don't mind if the whole galaxy knows."

He sipped his tea and relaxed in his chair.
"I want it."

"Sounds like an understatement."

"But I've been called worse. Guess I'll live."
