[ Finn is starting to realize he really didn't figure out what he wanted to try to do about this situation when he went kicking open bar doors. All he really has on his side is disagreement. Poe can be as stubborn as he is impulsive on his best days.

Finn trusts him more than anyone. Maybe even Rey depending on the situation, because things have been-- different with her. Even with all the rationalizing he's done to justify how she thinks and how she sees things, even after the canister and starting to talk to her again. He doesn't understand it. Not really. It's hard moving around that.

Poe is a lot of things, but they've always undoubtedly been Poe. He leaves his boots in the middle of the floor. He bickers about petty things with a grin on his face, like he's mostly in it because it's funny to watch people get riled up about them, only sometimes he gets genuinely invested along the way and the grin fades out while he gets more and more frustrated. He chides BB-8 for bad language, then stubs his toe and swears up a storm. Finn's never seen him toast a marshmallow without catching it on fire. He still makes things more human. Even when he's frustrating or not at his best, he's good.

Poe gets pushed to a limit or punched in the gut or scraped out hollow and still tries to keep giving, to not need help.

It comes back to that a lot, with Poe. Not wanting or needing or wanting to need help. Not asking for it. Finn doesn't really understand that, either, he never has, but it's a less cutting thing to be aware of.

He reaches for Poe's wrist without thinking about it. Grips it carefully. ]


If I believed that, I'd cover you in as many sloppy fights as you wanted.
