I Know I asked You To Marry Me But At This Point Just Please Come Back

Modern Reylo AU

"So, Rey, will you do the honer of being my wife?"

The next thing Rey knows she's running. She's off faster than it takes Kylo to look up nervously. A now empty seat is what meets his vision and his heart shatters. The next thing both of them know, Rey's motorcycle is revving to life and it's wheeling away.

There's no coming back from this.

Rey knocks frantically at Poe's door. Even though she can hear him behind the door wishing her to be patient, she's still impatiently knocking wishing him faster legs. After the slight light from the peep hole vanishes, she can hear the doors locks being undone. A slightly disheveled Poe answers with Finn standing in the doorway behind him. It must be game night. Though Rey is sure one look at her attire would tell them exactly where she had been as well. She didn't wear a dress for just anyone. It's not like she was above them or anything, they just weren't really her thing. Reserved for only the most high class of occasions and dates.

"Fun night?" The smug smirk that Poe gives her isn't enough to relax her as it normally does.

She enters without saying a word. Grabbing both of them by the arm leaving Poe with barley enough time to lock and close the door behind him. She brings them to the couch and takes the small accompanying furniture piece that is her seat. Taking a deep breath, she begins.

"Kylo asked me to marry him"

Maybe she could have handled that better. Jaws have dropped and silence has reigned. Finn is reluctantly the one who breaks the silence.

"You said yes right?" He's leaning close. Poe looks proud.

"Of course!" She smiles. She feels it radiate.

"Was it romantic?" This time it's Poe, and his love for theatrics only fuels the question.

"He took me to a fancy restaurant. He got down on one knee. Did the speech and everything it was amazing!" Both of her friends look extremely happy.

"I told you it was going to happen before Christmas. When he came to ask us he said holidays not birthday"

"Alright Finn, let it go"

"You now owe me 30$ bringing your total to 90$" the smug smile on Finn's face brings a equally sore loser smile from Poe.

"It's always a bad idea to bet against you, I'm not sure why I even try anymore. Luck follows you around like BB follows Rey"

Speaking of BB-8, the one-eyed cat jumps into Rey's lap, the unique purr starting up immediately. The soft orange and white cat does follow her around quite a lot. She lovingly pets behind the cats ears.

"Wait what do you mean asked you?"

The boys exchange a look.

"We knew" Finn says.
"He told us" Poe says in tandem.

"How?" It's not like Kylo would tell them before actually asking her.

"He asked permission to marry you." Finn provides.   Oh.

"It's a sexist tradition we know" beautiful Poe. Rey's glad to have a friend like him.

"He said its because his mom raised him right"

"And he was asking us if it was ok to "take your hand""

"Because you don't have a father of your own, he came to us"

"Says he wouldn't go to Luke even though he tends to be more of a father figure for you"

Rey takes the news in for a bit. It was sweet Kylo had went to her friends to get their blessing. Even if it did seem to be out of character. Rey knows not all of them get along that well all of the time but she's glad they're making the effort.

"Wait, where is he, where's Kylo?" Finn questions her, looking around the room for her often looming companion. She thinks on it for a moment before realizing her mistake. How has she missed it?

Rey panics.

"I forgot to tell him" She realizes.

"Tell him what?"

"Yes"
