[ finn, who is willing to die for people within the span of a day and honestly can't judge, is kind of glad poe didn't bust in here with the love word. because it's nice and it's a good thing and poe is a good person but they also haven't even gotten up to the one or two week point. there are a lot of unfortunate memes out there that had high chances of becoming reality just on reflex. he's not even 100% if that's what rose was going for or if she was delirious from Wounds and millions of people in theaters had to watch his confusion in real time.
also he can super see how the math is adding up on that post-fight freakout and the whole deal now?? if he yeeted straight into love confessions after a week and then the bae vanished after a big, confusing fight... he would also just assume it means he wasn't good enough and they didn't like what they saw. that's valid. he's literally afraid of that shoe dropping in all of his relationships right now. ]
At least we covered that already. [ poe is a shining star. and finn brand loyalty doesn't break on most impacts. ] I'm, uh. I'm not gonna say I'm surprised to hear that you come on strong. I got raised to march down ramps firing a blaster, and even I don't think you're subtle.
[ hello yes i do believe i have a fresh roast ordered for a poe dameron??? the barista drew a lil heart on the cup.
finn bites the inside of his cheek. ]
I'd be interested. I mean, I am. Interested. That's probably a good place to start. Sorry, I wasn't trying to-- I don't know, leave you hanging. About that.
[ if he knows for sure that poe is into this and he knows for sure that he's interested, he sees no reason not to give it a small-scale yeet? otherwise it's them both being interested and chilling in a hot tub, holding hands, possibly banging, trying to act like there's not a thing there.
so he knows this is a platform he can work from regardless of where this rolling stone stops gathering moss. if they take a whole journey to "maybe let's not" somehow, at least they'll both have it out on the table.
welcome to star wars, the only ones good at talking about their emotions are dead people and chewie. ]
