A/N: This a fixit fic for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Reylo is now officially canon : ) The chemistry between Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley was one of the best things about the sequel trilogy. Ben Solo deserved so much better in the end. Hope you guys like the story.
Chapter 1
Palpatine was defeated. the victory, however, was the last thing on the mind of Ben Solo. A giant wave of sadness had hit as he held Rey's lifeless body. his mood quickly changed upon the feeling of her hand touching his. Rey was alive again.
"Ben", she said with a huge smile on her face.
Before Ben knew it, Rey had leaned in to plant a kiss on his lips. The close contact was the most amazing thing he had felt in a very long time. After they pulled away, a smile was now on his face. it had been so long since Ben had last cracked a smile.
Then, suddenly, Ben fell back. His body became limp/ tears began to fall from Rey's eyes as she held onto his body. her heart had shattered into a million pieces. After coming back to the light side of the Force, this couldn't be the end for the man formally known as Kylo Ren.
As she wept and mourned, Rey noticed Ben's eyes starting to flutter. Soon, tears of joy replaced those of sadness. Ben felt weak as he tried to get himself up.
"It's okay", said Rey softly. "Save your energy."
She helped Ben get back on his feet. Rey continued holding onto him to keep him stable as they walked. They both were very happy to leave this horrible place.
Rey used the Force to put Ben into a peaceful slumber. he needed to regain his strength. She brought Ben to a hut on Ahch-To. Rey knew that she couldn't bring the former Supreme Leader of the First Order to see her friends on the Resistance. At least, not yet anyway. she placed a kiss on his forehead as he continued to sleep calmly. The island's Caretakers promised to take good care of him. Rey left to see her friends. She knew you would be worried if they didn't hear from her.
During the Resistance's celebration of their victory, Rey sensed Ben was awakening.
Where am I?
You are on Ahcho-To. it's where I found Skywalker. How are you feeling?
Not too bad actually.
I promise that I will back really soon. You are not alone Ben.
Rey knew that when she got back to Ahcho-To, they would have a lot to talk about.
Stay tuned. More to come.
