[ god they're nailing this. two bros, chillin on the floor, the meme song doesn't finish because this is extremely gay.
finn can kinda dig this whole Mood. like he could vibrate out of his skin, but not because of dread or certain doom for once. charged in a good way. a little on the side of reckless. ]
You're right about that. [ poe is truly..... an innovator. and his hair is great. compliments, by finn, who fails to stand up right away. ] Better places to be.
[ it's not like poe rises up either after his helpful suggestion. his mind is already launching into phase two, which is "where do we go next?" he has some serious ambitions about taking it to The Next Level, and he's not sure if now is the right time for exhibitionism kink on the couch. however, there aren't a whole lot of places that aren't just ... exciting new opportunities for exhibitionism kink. not that he cares but he's trying to do the thing where he's considering bae's thoughts and feelings. ]
I dunno anywhere around that's really private. [ not the under construction area, he's not taking a chance on that demon goo being an uninvited participant. not looking for that kind of threeway. ] We could sneak onto the roof, maybe. Or I could have my droid watch outside my room in case my roommate comes back.
[ it's not the right time for exhibitionism on the couch. it wasn't until this very moment that the basic lack of privacy started to get a little annoying for finn. the first order didn't deal much in privacy and there's no such thing as privacy on the falcon as far as he could figure out before all this.
of course, he also hasn't been in the market for good privacy until now either. what a wild ride. ]
If someone's gonna walk in, I'd rather not be somewhere we're not allowed to be. And I know my roommate's around. [ peggy was really chill about hashing out their arrangement, and the arrangement included trading off sleeping hours as long as their schedules let them. finn's not breaking that deal or any rules about where they're allowed to go for the d. not on day 2 anyway, he's got standards. ]
Introduce me to your new droid, Poe Dameron. [ he nudges poe with his foot exclusively to be a shit. and THEN he gets up. is that flirting??? great question, the answer is probably. wait until he tries to do it on purpose. ] Keep the roof on hold in case he's not up for it.
[ has he hashed out the whole situation with his own roommate? nobody knows but he's counting on spyder to ward him off. even if it's just by angrily beeping and going around him in circles while blaring 8-bit phantom of the opera or something.
in any case, he will take the foot nudge as light flirting whether or not it was actually meant to be. and then join finn in getting up. ]
Great! I'd love to. [ i can't believe he's going to take a break from quenchquest 2k18 to talk about his droid. no wait, i totally can. maybe it won't even sound like the rantings of a lunatic trying too hard this time. he'll use this to fill up their time walking. ]
His name's Spyder. He's small and looks like ... well, a spider. He's not as advanced as BB or anything, but he can follow simple commands. He really likes music.
[ the love poe has for his droids is part of his charm. especially when he doesn't sound like a lunatic desperately trying to act normal. he just really exudes giving a shit about things, even things other people would ignore right off the bat. ]
I think you mentioned that before. Some of it. One of your old... teammates made him?
[ i care too much about everything all the time: a poe dameron story. ]
Yeah! We didn't actually talk much, but he left him for me after he transferred. That was really nice, since ... you know. I miss BB-8 a lot. It's nice to have someone around that reminds me of him a little bit.
[ cue to a flashback of poe gently touching a window with a single tear streaming down his cheek while thinking of bb-8. it's been a lot, okay. ]
[ keep bb-8 in your thoughts. he's not dead we just like to remember him. ]
I can catch you up on what BB-8 got into back home sometime. [ well. ] Everything I know about. He wasn't always with us.
[ finn and rose missed out on all the coin-shooting, guard-restraining, ship-stealing action thriller bb-8 was starring in and it's a damn shame. where's that spin-off movie.
it's only a day-ish worth of stuff to offer poe after a few months of droidlessness, but finn's happy to provide what he can. ]
[ it's still weird doing those mental gymnastics. rey reminded him before that even while he's sitting around dramatically pining for his droid, bb-8 wouldn't even miss him because no time would have passed for him. bb-8 hasn't been living an exciting new life for months, he's only being doing stuff without him for like ... a day or something, it seems like. maybe a couple days.
IN ANY CASE, here they are at poe's room. he opens the door and there he be. on the floor, a little robot roughly the size of a shoebox, doing idle circles around the room like a roomba and singing a lil song to itself. he's fuckin precious and anyone who disagrees can meet poe in the pit. ]
So, uh, yeah. That's Spyder. Hey, buddy!
[ it beeps. don't worry finn it's not speaking binary. it literally just said beep. ]
[ he doesn't know binary anyway it's all beeps and whistles to him. what matters is finn is emotionally prepared to die for this droid if he has to. like yeah, sure, he'd die for bb-8 if he had to too, but bb-8 can also actively murder people at will. this is just a little guy doing his thing. murder-free. ]
You weren't kidding about the music. [ if you think he's not gonna get in there and crouch down for a closer look, you're wrong. that's exactly his plan for the foreseeable five seconds future. ] Kind of glad he doesn't have extra legs.
[ free of charge his professional droid assessment opinion, you're welcome. ]
[ mood. poe was also ready to die for this droid five seconds after it was storked to him, so. he kneels down. we're just all gonna get on spyder's level, he probably wants it that way.
his eyes flash green when finn gets closer. that's all it does. amazing. ]
He'd be a real threat then, huh? [ he laughs and sort of pets spyder like a dog. the least surprising action. ] Maybe he'd be able to go over objects then. He can only go around.
Hey, Spyder? [ BEEP. ] Can you watch the door? Beep if anyone tries to get in? [ two beeps. an icon, a legend. that's what poe thinks anyway. ]
[ finn's lived through the great droid tickling of 2017 so it's not even slightly surprising to see this petting in motion. he can't believe he'll have to make sure poe knows he tickles bb-8 in the future. wow. he gives spyder a little wave. that feels like the right etiquette. ]
Rey could probably figure something out. Make it a little easier for him. [ LET SPYDER BLAST SWEENEY TODD FROM THE CEILING WHILE WIELDING THE KNIFE SOMEONE TAPED TO HIS LEG. LET HIM BE TALL.
that's like half of finn's advice for anything ever though. oh i bet [insert friend here] could figure something out, they're great and the best. rey fixed the falcon's engine problems once! he was there! it was amazing. ]
Is that how he says yes or no?
[ he guesses he could have just gotten his answer by seeing if spyder went to the door or not. don't @ him it's a learning curve. it's times like these he misses bb-8's thumbs up.
spyder: a basic ai that communicates with like two eye colors and vague beeps finn: this is clearly even more impossible than speaking regular droid ]
[ let's be real, that probably wasn't even the first time he rubbed bb-8's tummy like a dog. it's not new information!
he gives a small shrug about the rey thing. he doesn't doubt her abilities. they can help spyder when they're not working on their side project-to-be of giving rosie a body. poe and rey are the droid support dream team.
spyder is going to the door now, though, so maybe finn's question is at least partially answered. ]
Huh? [ he's already rising to his feet. ] Oh, yeah. Beeps. It's not binary or anything, more like ... it's usually one beep for yes. Sometimes two if it's a complex thing. No is a long beep. His eyes change color, too. I haven't figured all that out yet, but I think he goes green on things he likes.
[ this is the story of how nobody got laid because poe couldn't stop talking about his toaster oven. ]
[ oh shit yeah there he goes!! groundbreaking, epic, flawless. see you, space cowboy. finn stands up while he's tracking the lil guy's progress out into the world. ]
Let me know when you know for sure. I'm either fine or I've got some work to put in.
[ there was definite green. which seems like more of a good color than a bad color. stormtrooper art class never covered this. but he feels like they can actually trust spyder to be a qualified Beep Really Loud alarm system. so that's like 3 whole tension points out of the equation for him.
don't worry poe. finn hasn't forgotten who he is and so forgotten you. he sits on the bed, like a cool cucumber. living his life. enjoying watching poe being a huge nerd. needless to say he's full of untamed charisma himself and therefore can't relate, so it's very special to him. ]
[ he just snorts. like, spyder is an angel from force heaven, finn is an angel from force heaven, why wouldn't he like him? it's not even an issue.
anyway, he closes the door. that issue is resolved. his droid son has their backs. he turns slowly, giving finn an appreciative once-over (free lip bite included with purchase), and then
rushes the bed and tackles him down onto the bed like another more different part of the lion king. i hope i stop making lion king references soon. ]
Perfect.
[ is that a commentary on finn or how this is better than the couch? or both? on the next episode of unsolved mysteries. ]
[ if this is your way of telling me poe is secretly a furry... it's gonna be a wild hurdle for them to survive but i knew it was coming.
the sheer enthusiasm of the tackle helps balance out the part where finn is tackled, sort of. look. he is a simple creature trying his best in this bitch of a multiverse. and being like... blatantly Liked and Wanted is wild. his sexy tl;dr meme entry wasn't lying, he's building his caring emotional foundations alongside his trying new things with different people foundations. ]
There's room for improvement. [ case in point: get all the way down here and back to the kissing, he will pvp gravity itself if it tries to pull shit again. thank you end of tedtalk. revolutionary. that's his onion anyway. ]
now that he's back in the position he wanted to be (horizontal), he rearranges himself to actually be on the bed because he's not getting punked by gravity again, no sir. he places one hand on finn's chest for leverage on finn and the other hand beside him on the bed for ... leverage on the bed.
he takes a moment to hover over finn's face, grinning his stupid fuckin grin. he's so pleased with himself. and maybe not actually thinking that much. like, yes, he wants to quench his thirst, but also: finn. finn existing? finn making that face when he does things? that face. literally any face. there's something about having that kind of control. no one man should have all that power. ]
I can work on it.
[ he goes back to kissing — back to mouth kissing, pressing in hard. just that much contact was an amazing feeling — something like warm sparks down his spine — but he wants more. there's a kind of hunger there.
and that's why the one hand moves from finn's chest, lowering until it finds the hem. they'll have to break in kissing but this shirt's gotta go. it's for the greater good. ]
[ there's something to be said for poe taking that moment to be extra gay and sappy. the thing to be said is mostly that he's gay and sappy and looking way too self-satisfied. honestly.
finn thinks his future probabilities are divided up into either getting used to the stupid grin or poe cutting back on stupid grins, and he knows which one is safer to put his money on.
he's what the kids call a potent combo of excited and nervous. he went full hermione granger with the educational materials and that was pretty great to get a feel for anything that wasn't Super Basic. pamphlets can't prepare you for the irl experience. and scoob we're gonna swooce right in there. the couch couldn't stop us. gonna see what happens and make some choices on the fly, basically, bc the mood of the morning is to have something happen in life that's nice and not life-threatening and not super weird.
and poe is nice, and they're not getting shot at, and they had a conversation about the weirdness that means finn can put it on the back burner to think about some other time.
so right now he's thinking he agrees. shirts are dumb and get in the way. this is obviously a sacrifice worth making for the greater good. his plan is to also get poe's shirt out of the way for Equality, but the first step is getting his hands under it, and then he's kinda like "! Y E E T" once he gets to step one. no shirt is powerful enough to stop him because the hands-on experience is wild.
give him like five seconds. you know to really make sure step one is underway. thoroughly. what if he touches people forever, that sounds viable. ]
[ he's still like go go go yeet x 1000 about getting this shirt off, but then finn decides he wants to turn this into a shirt removal competition. he'll let him have it. a: finn deserves everything, and b: he gave him the jacket off his back (and the rest of his wardrobe, why not let him remove some of it. all of it. whatever.
but then when finn's hand gets under his own and just dead-ass stops, he also stops and tilts his head a little bit. second one passes with "what is he doing?" and then second two is "oh he's taking a free sample."
the stupid grin's back at it again. (like he ever truly stopped.) there's a slight eyebrow raise, too. ]
There's more where that came from if you get the shirt off.
[ poe's noble loss of the shirt race was almost in vain. i'd like to say finn is embarrassed but he's also kinda like whatever we already forgot to account for gravity earlier.
...
so you know. mildly offended by poe's audacity for calling him out. which is like an eggshell-thin step away from being a little embarrassed. even though his hands walked him right into that one and it was very clearly labeled dead dove do not eat. ]
Is that just friendly advice? [ gosh honestly!! cutting into his skin appreciation moment by helping him remember his plan to stop having to deal with clothes!
the wonder is not ruined because it's very concept-based, but finn will still obligingly get poe's shirt out of this equation now. for medical science.
it's literally better this way. shirts are dumb again. ]
[ again: is there really any room for embarrassment after couchgate 2k18. that was poe's smooth move and he's clearly over it. he's a wobbling weeble about shame though, so maybe that's just him.
also: why do the ones you love exist if not for exclusive roasting privileges. ]
Little more than friendly.
[ once his own shirt is off, he will get back to what he was doing and return the favor. just fling that mofo off like he's in a competition for fastest shirt removal (that he clearly already won.) at which point he too can appreciate the fruits of his labors. like, damn, okay. is every day core and arm day in the stormtrooper finishing school for boys?? what a snacc. his master plan is to work his way down to the pants, but first he's going to slowly take his time sort of groping down finn's sides. this is why hands exist. ]
[ all very valid points. especially the part about the roasting.
counterpoint: hands actually exist so that finn can upgrade from free sample to the full serving size. because he has aims to take full advantage of this chance. look. his meaningful human contact experience is limited to some hand grabbing, maybe like 4 fully clothed hugs, that time rose kissed him, and that time rey got thrown into a tree and he grabbed her entire head.
finn is thirsty and he's thriving rn. future dates ended with regular poe, now taking off poe's clothes and feeling him up is finn's romantic interest. future jungle search and rescue mission who? life problems who?? he doesn't know them. BETTER STUFF TO DO, HOT DUDE ALERT. ]
[ sometimes you just gotta bang all your anger about the lack of rescue group (yet) away. this is fine. this is a great coping skill. also, he had a lot of thirst so it's actually a highly effective coping skill. feeling finn is great, being felt up is great. it's an amazing reciprocal process. what is: being alive.
he's torn between continuing making out and not, because making out would mean not getting to enjoy the view. not to say that he doesn't enjoy the view of finn's pores, but he could see that without shirtlessness.
they take the scenic route, but eventually his hands make it to finn's pants. he immediately gets to business with unbuttoning and pulling down that whole situation. to take them all the way off would make him have to like ... get off finn and move around though, so he doesn't make it 100% through the process. ]
[ finn is distinctly aware of poe's struggle with the pants. partly because it's hard to miss anyone trying to make your pants a non-issue in pretty much any life situation, let alone a sexy one. partly because not being 100% through the pants removal process feels weird for the person with partially-off pants.
the scenic route bypassing making out, even temporarily, has been pretty chill with him for the most part. at this juncture he's kinda like you know what hold my beer tho. he's gonna just try to reel poe in here in for a Quick Smooch. his god given right.
and then casually take a side trip to the front of poe's pants. ]
Maybe next time we lose the clothes first thing.
[ finn doesn't go ham on the buttons just yet, but he's enjoying his stay here. hooking a thumb into poe's waistband. i'd say purely for leverage but 👀 👀 👀 i'd be lying.
free the d 2k18 has a precursor and it's writing a friendly letter to the d while it's still wrongfully imprisoned. possibly even before the prison life has fully transformed it into...... a hardened criminal. it's straight-up sexting the d. because finn is an opportunist when he wants to be and copping a feel waits for no man. he'd feel kinda weird just copying poe move for move again anyway so like yeet?? he doesn't know, this made great sense when he was thinking about it. slytherin finn exhibit a: for ambition. also a: for a dumbass.
it's real time strategy. he's ahead of the curve. he's........ not really sure how they can achieve nakedness without having to move to get rid of the clothes tbh. he's drafting his "give me 5 seconds" proposal. ]
[ first of all, he'll take that kiss thank you. what a precious gift. ]
Yeah … yeah, you're right. That would've been smart.
[ once again: with finn and poe's powers combined, they have a whole piece of dust from under the couch's worth of foresight.
those were some real smart mouth words, brought to you by why??? is finn just casually groping him through his pants??? he'd be okay with the copycat thing, honestly. if finn is going to learn he's clearly going to learn from the best. (who decided poe was the best? he did. he put it to a vote. with himself.)
he had a Plan. he totally had a plan. there was a whole chart for how he was going to go about quenchquest 2k18 (that he made like five minutes ago) and now it's in the garbage because he did not anticipate this countermove. he kind of grinds into finn's hand because it's Nice but also he was about to grab the d and he doesn't know how to multitask. one hand digs into finn's hip while he's doing that. this is that hand that could be grabbing the d right now. maybe it'll leave a mark instead.
[ look he's trying to live his best life. his best, half a dust bunny life. how many times in his life will he get to grope poe through his pants???? probably a ton. how many times can he do that for the first time. that's truly a special moment. if he knew quenchquest had a whole flowchart already he probably would have saved the heavy petting for seven minutes in heaven.
right now finn kinda just likes that he could do a thing and get a nice reaction tbh. poe is really handsome when he's distracted. it's uncalled for, but worth watching in motion. finn is into that in a big way. so he lets this happen for a little while. he's got no issues with that. remind him to thank poe for this quality image later.
then he'll proceed to phase 2 of his own plan he's making up on the fly, which is the part where he does in fact get these pants open like a big copycat. jailbreaks are like his specialty even metaphorically, wow.
thirst may torture, but it isn't gonna kill anybody on their watch today. ]

it's literally better this way. shirts are dumb again. ]

also: why do the ones you love exist if not for exclusive roasting privileges. ]
Little more than friendly.
[ once his own shirt is off, he will get back to what he was doing and return the favor. just fling that mofo off like he's in a competition for fastest shirt removal (that he clearly already won.) at which point he too can appreciate the fruits of his labors. like, damn, okay. is every day core and arm day in the stormtrooper finishing school for boys?? what a snacc. his master plan is to work his way down to the pants, but first he's going to slowly take his time sort of groping down finn's sides. this is why hands exist. ]
no subject
counterpoint: hands actually exist so that finn can upgrade from free sample to the full serving size. because he has aims to take full advantage of this chance. look. his meaningful human contact experience is limited to some hand grabbing, maybe like 4 fully clothed hugs, that time rose kissed him, and that time rey got thrown into a tree and he grabbed her entire head.
finn is thirsty and he's thriving rn. future dates ended with regular poe, now taking off poe's clothes and feeling him up is finn's romantic interest. future jungle search and rescue mission who? life problems who?? he doesn't know them. BETTER STUFF TO DO, HOT DUDE ALERT. ]

he's torn between continuing making out and not, because making out would mean not getting to enjoy the view. not to say that he doesn't enjoy the view of finn's pores, but he could see that without shirtlessness.
they take the scenic route, but eventually his hands make it to finn's pants. he immediately gets to business with unbuttoning and pulling down that whole situation. to take them all the way off would make him have to like ... get off finn and move around though, so he doesn't make it 100% through the process. ]
no subject
the scenic route bypassing making out, even temporarily, has been pretty chill with him for the most part. at this juncture he's kinda like you know what hold my beer tho. he's gonna just try to reel poe in here in for a Quick Smooch. his god given right.
and then casually take a side trip to the front of poe's pants. ]
Maybe next time we lose the clothes first thing.
[ finn doesn't go ham on the buttons just yet, but he's enjoying his stay here. hooking a thumb into poe's waistband. i'd say purely for leverage but 👀 👀 👀 i'd be lying.
free the d 2k18 has a precursor and it's writing a friendly letter to the d while it's still wrongfully imprisoned. possibly even before the prison life has fully transformed it into...... a hardened criminal. it's straight-up sexting the d. because finn is an opportunist when he wants to be and copping a feel waits for no man. he'd feel kinda weird just copying poe move for move again anyway so like yeet?? he doesn't know, this made great sense when he was thinking about it. slytherin finn exhibit a: for ambition. also a: for a dumbass.
it's real time strategy. he's ahead of the curve. he's........ not really sure how they can achieve nakedness without having to move to get rid of the clothes tbh. he's drafting his "give me 5 seconds" proposal. ]
no subject
Yeah … yeah, you're right. That would've been smart.
[ once again: with finn and poe's powers combined, they have a whole piece of dust from under the couch's worth of foresight.
those were some real smart mouth words, brought to you by why??? is finn just casually groping him through his pants??? he'd be okay with the copycat thing, honestly. if finn is going to learn he's clearly going to learn from the best. (who decided poe was the best? he did. he put it to a vote. with himself.)
he had a Plan. he totally had a plan. there was a whole chart for how he was going to go about quenchquest 2k18 (that he made like five minutes ago) and now it's in the garbage because he did not anticipate this countermove. he kind of grinds into finn's hand because it's Nice but also he was about to grab the d and he doesn't know how to multitask. one hand digs into finn's hip while he's doing that. this is that hand that could be grabbing the d right now. maybe it'll leave a mark instead.
this is barely second base and he's already like AH YES HOW NICE IT IS TO RECEIVE. thirst is real. ]
no subject
right now finn kinda just likes that he could do a thing and get a nice reaction tbh. poe is really handsome when he's distracted. it's uncalled for, but worth watching in motion. finn is into that in a big way. so he lets this happen for a little while. he's got no issues with that. remind him to thank poe for this quality image later.
then he'll proceed to phase 2 of his own plan he's making up on the fly, which is the part where he does in fact get these pants open like a big copycat. jailbreaks are like his specialty even metaphorically, wow.
thirst may torture, but it isn't gonna kill anybody on their watch today. ]
