Return | Network-Video

[imnotleia]

[Poe frowns at the screen, clearly back in the Fly Good based off of his surroundings. He looks a little different from when he left, carrying a few more stresses, that fly boy smirk gone for the moment.]

...I remember this place. Is BB-8 still here? Reeve? I was-

[He has a bit of a haunted look to him, still trying to come to terms with the sudden flood of memories.]

...I need to see Leia.

[The video abruptly shuts off]


Text- Private to Tommy- Later

Can I get your help with something?

Action

[imnotleia]

[Poe doesn't bother to knock. He's reunited with BB-8 along the way, the droid rolling in after him as Poe hurries to pull Reeve into a tight hug. It feels so strange to think for a year he didn't remember Reeve or any of this place existed.]

...You're getting grays.

[He smirked fondly, teasing rather than admit just how much he'd missed him.]

[plate_builder]

[He rose when Poe entered, not sure what to do, not sure what to say, but then there were those familiar arms wrapped around him, and Reeve buried his face in Poe's neck just to smell him and feel the warmth of his skin. And if he had to bite his lip to keep from sobbing with relief, no one ever had to know. Not even Mini.]

I am rather certain I was getting those before you disappeared on me, Poe. I've been old since I was twelve.

[Poe might not admit to missing him, perhaps he hadn't even missed Reeve, but Reeve? He was going to say it.]

I missed you. I was glad you might be home, but I missed you.

[imnotleia]

[He breathed a fond sigh of air through his nose, squeezing tighter with his uninjured arm and pressing a kiss to the side of his head.]

I didn't mean to disappear on you.

[plate_builder]

[Oh Poe. This time the sob does pull free, just a little. Poe, he's here.]

Did you find love? Happiness? More war?

[imnotleia]

[Kriff. Poe curses mentally and strokes Reeve's hair, a strangled smile on his fae.]

...Plenty of war. [He wet his lips.] ...Got myself a promotion.

[Which Reeve may be able to piece together means his mentor and mother figure was out of the picture one way or another.]

[plate_builder]

[Ah don't curse Poe. It's only truly becoming in bed.]

I'm sorry that peace didn't happen. And...

[Oh dear. This was not good. He just wanted to sit the man down and hold him.]

That's why you needed to see the child. Because something happened to the Leia of your time.

[imnotleia]

[Poe swallowed and nodded curtly, trying his best to hold those feelings back.]

She uh...she passed. I thought I could see the kid and-...I dunno. Doesn't matter, she's gone too.

[plate_builder]

[Oh Poe. Reeve wanted to squeeze him for that. To hold him close and make him happy. And he doesn't know how to.]

Is there anything I can do for you to make you feel better?
