[ it helps way more than she'd ever admit, having his hands on hers and feeling him behind her. she'd like to think she could handle herself okay if she were in this cockpit alone, but the truth of it is that it's so completely out of her element, there's no way there wouldn't be some serious baby-stepping going on. tip-toeing and slow-going. but with poe right there with her, it's too easy to be brave. still, she settles once he takes over again, face tipped towards the window to take in the view until they're landing back in the hangar. and there was a slight chance she had something to say once she took his helmet off and turned to face him, but she's happier to be kissing him, to be given a sign right away that oh, yeah. she's not alone in that wild, fuzzy but too-sharp pool of feelings she was trying to sort through. she feels a little off kilter, but that's absolutely only because of the fact that they were just flying and her body needs a second to get used to that. gravity- yeah. it was all different for those few minutes.
but now she's back on solid ground, on poe's lap, kissing the hell out of him, and at least that feels familiar. she an't think beyond just kissing him back, still holding his helmet in both hands, still so precious and important. and it's a helmet, she knows it could survive if it slid off of her lap and down by their feet, but she can't really think through all that when poe's kissing her like this. so instead she just holds on tight even as she leans into him, getting as close as she can while they kiss.
she really does wait until the last minute when she needs to pull in a deep breath to break the kiss, though she keeps her forehead pressed to his, bumps his nose with hers. she didn't realize just how breathless she was feeling until just then, everything sort of catching up with her at once. ]
Did I do okay? [ she gives him two more kisses, little ones ] I think I might just stick with my webs. Leave the fancy flying to you. [ smooch, smooch, smooch. another smile against his lips ] I still can't believe it. You're amazing. This is amazing.
