[ Poe was already heading toward the garage. It was a safe bet these days as far as finding any of them, he's there more often than he's in his own apartment and the same is definitely true of Finn and his tiny bunk, and it just feels more like home than anywhere else in this city. Especially when Finn's there, with BB-8 rolling around between them, just as happy to have them all back together as anyone else. They really are back together now, and as much as they're missing and as far away from the Resistance as they are, this is a solid core to all of it, even Poe feels that, regardless of the fact that they've all got weird stretches of time missing between them.
But he hadn't been thinking much about how things could change if Rey was here with them. He hasn't asked Finn much about what's happened in his absence, it's not really something he wants to dig up for several reasons, but it's not hard to assume that they were very close. He's seen the way Finn looks at her, the way he talks about her, constantly. And all the potential implications of what it means now that she's back have been going through his head lately, especially since he found himself falling into bed with her.
That had been a mistake. Strange perfumes or no, even if Finn isn't angry at him, Poe's feeling guilty. It doesn't matter that this kind of thing happens around here, or that the idea of stepping back from the intense... thing that he's fallen into with Finn makes his stomach twist into knots. He'll do whatever he has to do to fix this. ]
Finn.
[ What was he expecting? Finn to be up on his feet, arms folded? Not really, but he could take Finn being angry at him a lot better than him being hurt and just taking it. His own steps fall short of walking all the way over, and somehow it just feels wrong. These days it's rare that he won't at least put a hand on Finn's shoulder, if not sliding right in for a kiss. It only slows him down for a second, and then he's just launching right into it. ]
Finn, I'm sorry. I didn't- [ he's already started, why stop now? ] I wasn't trying to hide anything from you. And look, whatever you want to have with Rey, I'm not gonna get in the way.
[ He'll probably keep going if he's not stopped, but he has to take in a breath eventually. ]
