[It hadn't occurred to Rey that a "friend" could be an 'ex' who wanted to stay in her life in the hopes of restarting a relationship. She hadn't been lying about not being in a relationship before--it was all sort of complicated. If she thought about it too much, it would hurt her heart more than her head. She thought Diego was being genuine in his question.]
Mhmm. [The brunette nodded, finishing up her sip of coffee.] His name is BB, and he belongs to my friend, Poe. He's a pilot, and flies a lot. He's looking to switch careers, but he loves the skies as much as he loves movies. [There was a fondness in her voice as she talked about him, but nothing that felt like she was secretly crushing on him or anything.]
I met Poe after meeting my friend, Finn, in college. We all became very close with each other, though BB took more time to warm up to Finn than with me. [So Rey had two men in her life that she was very good friends with, and had a strong bond. Two friends she would risk her life for because they were her chosen family.
She briefly looked down at her coffee cup, her thumb brushing against the side of it as a pleasant memory danced across the surface of her mind.]
You know how I told you I have a friends who are a couple and their baggage works well together? I was referring to Poe and Finn. They have their ups and downs, as all couples do, but they work through it.
[Poe nor Finn were competition for Diego. Though, they would probably give him a run for his money in terms of protecting Rey from scummy dude-bros who'd want to date her for shallow reasons.]
But, I watch BB whenever Poe goes out of town and Finn has too many things to work on. My schedule is usually pretty flexible, so I can take care of him whenever they need. And, it's nice coming home after a long day to have someone there to greet you. Even if it's to yell at you with cute meows to feed them.
