Summary: You get injured while on a mission and Poe takes care of you.

...

Your boots hit the ground beneath with with a loud thud, crushing the dead forest leafs that laid on the dirt fields of Endor. Your squadron had been sent with commands from General Leia Organa to obtain some crucial information that the First Order had stolen from the Resistance.

The cool air sent a chill through your body as you watched the other members of your squadron land their ships nearby. You waited patiently as one by one, they gather around you.

Poe was the last one to arrive - since he was commander - you had to wait on his instructions.

"Okay, everyone. Stay alert. Stay close to the ground and take down all troopers and enemy fighters you see. There's tons of stormtroopers surrounding the area so it will be easier for everyone to take to the sky. That is what we do best, anyway" Poe explains, staring down all members with a smile of pride spread across his face. "Y/N and I will go in and get the holo, everyone else cover our backs. Be careful." Poe finished before everyone heads off quickly, ready to take on the mission.

Poe looks down at you with a small gentle smile before kissing your temple quickly, "Let's go."

You and Poe then head off, your minds focused on your objective. The two of you make your way through the tall trees walking slowly, keeping quiet as your eyes scan your surroundings carefully looking out for enemies. Poe led the way with you closely behind him, he looked back at you every now and then to make sure he hadn't trailed too far.

Eventually, you reach the end of the forest that seemed to be endless and your eyes lay upon the bunker which contained the holo you needed.

One problem - four stormtroopers stood along the front of the entrance, guarding it tightly.

"I've got a bad feeling about this." You whisper to Poe. "What do we do?"

"Uh," Poe hesitates, his voice barely above a whisper as he cooks up a plan. "Stay low; I'll distract them." Poe informs you quickly, moving from his crouched position but you stop him, grabbing his arm to pull him back.

"Are you crazy?" You spit at him, still containing your voice in a whisper.

"A little bit." He answers, a smirk playing on his face before he escapes your grip and runs out in front of the troopers.

"Hey marshmallows!" He calls out, mocking their white armor. You let out a small snicker before you steady yourself - blaster in hand, ready to fire.

You squint your eyes carefully watching as the troopers whip around quickly to fire at Poe. They barely get a chance to fire before Poe dodges their poorly aimed shots by running of to the side; this was your cue. You lift you blaster, shooting aggressively in their direction, hoping your aim was accurate. Finding it was, you watch as all four troopers fall to the ground, along with Poe's help.

"It's clear!" Poe yells and the both of you run towards the bunker doors. You guard him, looking out for enemies as he quickly types in a four digit passcode before the two metal doors slide open to reveal the holo resting on a podium. Poe grabs it quickly, securing it in his pocket.

"Let's get out of here." Poe says lowly and you both bolt from the doors, running as fast as you can back into the tall tree forest.

"Hey!" A robotic sounding voice shouts out as a stormtrooper gets in you path. Both of your eyes widen in shock before Poe quickly grabs your hand, pulling you along in another direction. You shoot back at the lone trooper as Poe drags you away, hitting them right in the head.

Adrenaline rushes through your veins as you both continue running, navigating your way back to the ships. Loud explosions can be heard from above you as TIE fighters appear in the sky to fight off your squadron.

"We have to get out. Now!" You yell to Poe who still had a tight grip on your hand.

Suddenly, you feel a sharp pain sting through your right leg and you're sent flying to the ground with a loud cry. Poe whips his head around to find your body spread across the forest floor.

"Y/N!" He yells out in panic. Luckily, Poe spotted the trooper who had shot you, killing them before tending to you.

"Are you okay?" He yells over the loud gun shots that were still sounding from afar - his voice laced with a heavy amount of concern.

"Not really." You reply weakly, staring down at your wound with pure fear. Poe looks down at you, his eyebrows knitted together with nothing but concern and panic written on his face. He gently lifts up your body carrying you tightly in his arms as he counties to run towards his ship. That was the last thing you remember before you blacked out.

You awake hours later, the first thing your eyes meeting were the worried expression of Poe's face.

"P-Poe?" You croak out, watching his features lighten at the sight of you awake. He was so worried about you that he had stayed by the operation table you were laid on ever since you arrived back on base.

"I'm here, you're okay." He says lowly, brushing his hand against your cheek.

"I was shot." You state, uncertainty written in your voice as you stare down at a gauze that was wrapped around your leg.

"Yeah but you're okay, you did good." Poe says, sending you a warm smile.

"The holo got to Leia safely?" You question as your thoughts trail back to your mission.

"Yup, safe and sound." He answers. He admired how loyal you were to your work.

"Sir, the patient is stable. She may return to her quater." The mechanical voice of the medical droid speaks out. You start to sit up from your lying position but Poe holds you back down.

"You need to rest, I got this." He says before taking you into his arms bridal style just like he did back on Endor. He walks through the halls of base taking the familiar root to your living quarters.

"Hey, thanks for not letting me die." You blurt out as he slides the door to your room open.

He chuckles lightly before answering, "No problem." He places you gently on your bed before taking a seat of the edge. "Do you need anything?"

"I'm good." You reply smiling up at him thankfully. His hands find their way to your hair as he smoothly plays with the strings of your hair. "You don't have to stay." You speak out suddenly cause Poe to shake his head.

"I want to." He replies before placing a gentle kiss on forehead.

"Thank you." You reply before your eyes flutter shut, feeling relaxed under Poe's touch.

He spent the next few days of your recovering right by your side, tending to your every need. He wouldn't leave your side; he even slept in your room so he could be there incase you needed him. It was nice to have someone who was as caring as Poe in your life and he was more then happy to be there for you.
