Summary: You have a crush on Rey and you go to Poe for help.

...

"Poe!" You yelled as you were frantically running around base, in search of your best friend. He was one of those friends that were always there for you no matter what. Well except for now, when you really needed his help.

Any other time, he'd be seconds away, ready to annoy you with constant babbling about Finn and just babbling in general but this one time - the one time you really, really need to see him - he's nowhere in sight.

"Poe! Poe!" You continue to cry out, walking into the command centre. "Has anyone seen Poe?" No one moves from their duties. Some simply shake their heads and other's mumble a quiet, 'No' as they work away. Letting out a frustrated sigh, you leave the room in defeat.

"Poe!" You shout once again while making your way down long empty hallways.

You've checked all his usual spots; the hanger, the command centre, the medical bay (somewhere he had been spending a lot of time since Finn ended up there), you even checked his quarters, he was nowhere! It was like he dropped off the face of the planet.

You were starting to lose hope when suddenly, you hear a muffled sound from the distance and you stop in your tracks.

"Poe?" You call out hopefully.

"Yeah?" You hear him call back. It was still quite muffled but you could definitely pick out his voice.

"Where are you?" You question, furrowing your eyebrows, looking all around the area.

"Hold on, I'll come to you!" He calls out. You sigh, waiting for the man to appear when suddenly, you hear a loud thud from behind you causing you whip your body around.

It was Poe, he came from... the ceiling?

"What the hell?" You asked.

"General needed me to work on some wiring stuff," He shrugs, wiping the back of his hand against an oil stain on his forehead. You make a mental note to ask General Leia about Poe the next time you couldn't find him. "What's up?"

"I'm having a meltdown." You huff, moving to lean against the wall before sinking down to the floor. Poe quickly joins you, sitting close to your right side.

"Is it Rey?" He questions, tilting his head a bit to look at you.

"Of course, it's Rey! What do I do?" You whine, turning towards him.

"Honestly, I don't know why you're freaking out so much. You're usually smooth when it comes to getting the ladies." He says, a playful smile on his face. You send him a glare and roll your eyes, resting your head on his shoulder.

"There's something about her, it's just different. I get this weird tingling feeling in my stomach whenever I see her and I can't get her out of my head when she's not around." You whine. You've never had feelings like this before and it confused you.

"It's called love." Poe states, trying to hold back his laugh at your stubbornness.

"Really?" You question, shooting your head up from his shoulder to look over at him.

"Yeah, you obviously really like her. You've got a little crush." He shrugs, an amused smile on his face.

"I guess so." You admit, slouching back against the wall.

"You should just tell her or - even better - ask her on a date." He adds.

"No way." You reply, shaking your head, "She barely gives me a second glance!"

"That's not true!" Poe fights back. "I've seen her staring at you while you're working."

"You're a liar." You scoff, crossing your arms in front of your chest.

"I'm telling the truth!"

You look over at him, scanning his face for any sign of amusement but his face was serious. Knowing Poe, you could tell when he was lying or not and he definitely wasn't lying.

"Oh my god, you're not lying!" You exclaim.

"Duh," He mumbles.

"So what should I say? What should I do?" You question, sitting up straight, turning your body to face Poe.

"I don't know, talk to her about flowers or the ocean, she likes that. Or maybe ask her about Finn, she's almost with him as much as I am." Poe informs. You pause, analysing all the different outcomes.

"Okay, okay. I'm going to do it." You say confidentially much to Poe's surprise and to your own.

"That's the spirit!" He smiles, patting your shoulder.

You shoot up from your position on the ground, dusting yourself off before marching down the hallway, only to get a nervous feeling in your stomach. Once you reach only two feet away, you turn back to Poe.

"I can't do this." You admit, shaking your head. Poe stands up to greet you, placing his hands on either side of your shoulder.

"Yes, you can." He encourages, shaking your shoulders gently.

"No, I can't," You reply, shaking your head once again. Poe pauses, removing his hands from your shoulders as an idea pops into his head.

"I can be your wingman!" Poe exclaims, excited about his idea.

You raise an eyebrow at him, "Okay, really?"

"What? There's no harm in it. I can you know, set the playing field, boost you up so there will be a better chance of her saying yes." He explains and you roll your eyes at him.

"That won't work."

"Yes, it will, let's go!" He says, grabbing your arm before dragging you down the hall.

Poe was practically running from excitement while you stumbled behind him, definitely not excited.
Suddenly, he comes to a stop just outside the main hangar and turns to face you, "She should be in here."

"Don't make me do this." You whine, crossing your arms in front of your chest.

"We're doing this. You ready?"

"No."

"Great."

Before you could even protest, he swings the door open, dragging you behind him.

"Hey, Rey!" He calls out spotting the girl working on an X-wing.

She looked up from her work with ease, looking over in Poe's direction to greet him. A wide smile spreads across her face and just like that, your stomach aches.

"What's up?" She questions, setting the tool she had in her hands down, walking over to the both of you. You felt your pulse race each step she took.

"So, Rey you know [Y/N]?" Poe says and you already know this is going to go bad. She slightly nods sending a small smile your way and you swear you almost die, "Well [Y/N], here, is a very nice person who thinks you're also a nice person so [Y/N] has something to ask you. Bye!" He quickly ran away after that, knowing if he stayed, he'd be punished. But he wouldn't win, you were so going to kill him later.

"I'm so sorry about that." You stumble out awkwardly, trying to keep your cool.

"It's fine," She replies, trying to hold back a laugh.

A silence falls between you both as you stand awkwardly. Poe hadn't helped you one bit. You would have been better off by yourself, you thought.

"Look, I'm just going to get this over with cause I can't make this any more awkward," You start, not really thinking things through, just letting the words fall out, "I really like you. I know we haven't talked much and we barely know each other but I've just been really shy. Trust me I'm not usually shy but with you, I don't know. I just really like you and I don't want to mess things up so I avoid talking to you but I really want to talk to you and it's all just a mess."

You were carelessly rambling off, but Rey was kinda amused and also very surprised, "So what I'm trying to say is will you go on a date with me?"

Your eyes were hopeful as your heart was jumping out of your chest. You couldn't read her face as she stared back out you, a bit studded but with a small playful look in her eyes.

"I would love to." She replies, letting her smile take over.

Before you could say anything, you hear a loud cheer sound from behind you, "Woo! Yes!"

You whip your head around to see Poe showing himself from behind an X-wing. A grin on his face.

You turn back to Rey and mouth a 'sorry' to her as he comes up behind you.

"You're the worst wingman in the galaxy." You grumble playfully, crossing your arms in front of your chest as Poe rests his arm on your shoulder.

"Well, it worked didn't it?" He defends himself.

"I would have said yes either way." Rey adds causing a wide grin to form on your face.

"And you were worried?" Poe adds, smiling just as much.

"Shut up, Poe."
