    Summary

    "Can you help me get rid of it? The spider?" she hears herself ask, though she's not aware of the words coming out of her mouth. "Please, you know I'm terrified of spiders."

    (They both know it's not true. They both know she's never been afraid of anything for the whole duration of their relationship. Anything, except for losing him. Which she did anyway, so it doesn't really matter.)

    -- or: Rey calls Ben everytime she has to get rid of a spider, even if they both know she's not really scared of them. It's easier than telling him she misses him, though.

    Summary

    “What, Finn?” A pause, then a sigh. “Hang on, I’m on the phone. I’ll be there in a second. Sorry, Ben, what were you saying?”

    He was going to ask her to meet. He was going to offer to buy her a coffee. He was going to--...make the worst decision of his life. Ben runs a hand through his hair. “Nothing, it’s not important. I have to get back to work, though. Good luck with Finn.”

    She laughs and says goodbye, and Ben hangs up with an empty ache that tells him, coward.

    Summary

    “I could teach you,” Rey says, very matter-of-fact. “What it’s all about, I mean. What to do.”

    Ben stares at her blankly for a long moment, her meaning clearly not registering.

    When he finally does get what she’s saying, his reaction is immediate and explosive.

    “What?” he sputters, eyes wide.

    ----------------
    (In which Ben Solo is an awkward virgin, Rey is a friend who offers to teach him about sex, and nothing goes according to plan.)
