❄️ TAKE SHELTER ❄️
a short textfic for #ReyloSpiritWeek
(saturday: stranded/snowed in)
rival teammates ben & rey get stuck in the office during a blizzard. thankfully, they both have projects to focus on and can stay far away from each other. right?
What’s a little friendly(?) competition between coworkers?
Meanwhile, Rey's phone keeps buzzing.
Was that a sasquatch walking into the bathroom?
Or—
This is fine.
This is FINE.
A little while later:
And about twenty minutes after that:
Okay, yes, he's good at functions.
And yes, it's saved her an exorbitant amount of time.
Big whoop.
10 p.m. rolls around...
...and things start to get weird.
Look, if *anything* is worth a ceasefire, it's homemade lasagna.
Whatever.
ROSE.
That is absolutely preposterous.
And yet:
😳
With her laptop stowed away and her desk cleaned up, Rey walks out into the lobby.
She's not expecting Ben to wait for her.
She's *not*.
But when he makes a mad dash out the side door without a single word, it does sting a little.
A few hours later, her phone buzzes.
*insert italicized "Oh." here*
Well then. 🥺
Always gotta update the group chat.
Flash forward, one year later:
Rey's heart—and stomach—have never been happier.
💕
THE END. 🍝💘
thank you to @vtradescant2 for looking this over and for always (ALWAYS) listening to me ramble
and to @bb_kate_ & @feralsandgremln for hosting #ReyloSpiritWeek!
