    Summary

    The first words Ben Solo ever spoke to her were “Marry me,” and his dazed, deep voice (for he had just been damn near buried under a display of fig crackers while trying to grab the last cauliflower pizza crusts from the freezer and- somehow- hitting his head on the case lip) had snatched at Rey’s guarded heart with unexpected ferocity.

    Probably, some part of her acknowledged as she held a cold compress to his head, because she had always been drawn to anything and anyone whose broken parts were on full display.

    Summary

    “Oh,” she breathes out. “Nice tattoo.”

    At this, Ben looks down at his arm as if he were seeing it for the first time, then blushes. 

    “Ah. Right. Thank you. They’re daffodils. They– they symbolize rebirth. Also, uh– my grandmother had a lake house, back in Naboo, and the garden was filled with daffodils. I used to lie in the grass for hours, just looking at them. It’s one of my fondest memories.” Then, his lips twitch in his crooked smile again, before he recites, “And then my heart with pleasure fills and dances with the daffodils.

    She can’t help but smile, even as she lightly punches his arm. “Nerd.”

    “Yeah,” Ben convenes. Then, he catches her hand, intertwines their fingers and, softly, adds, “Your nerd.” 

    -- or: the one where, over the course of the seasons, Rey falls in love with Ben, the unconventional librarian with a tattoo sleeve that blushes every time she helps him shelve books and that feels unexplicably like home.

    Summary

    The first time Rey compliments him, on their very first date, Ben stops breathing for a whole minute and turns crimson under her gaze, his moles standing out darker against his usually pale complexion. He's all parted lips and slack jaw and wide eyes, almost as if she had just stabbed him, and Rey can't help but giggle at his reaction, which would have been appropriate if she had just insulted him, and not told him all about how nice he looks.

    "Don't be so surprised," she teases him, and Ben lets out a small huff of breath that could pass for a self-conscious laughter, turning even redder under her eyes, if possible.

    He stares at his feet, then back at her, the ghost of a shy smile on his lips as he shrugs, as quietly as, she has learned, he does everything else. "Yeah, right".

    -- or: Ben doesn't really think much of himself, and Rey is determined to change his mind.
