Every Night
Pairing: Han Solo x Reader
Fandom: Star Wars (Original Trilogy)
Summary: Han talks to you every night to help you get to sleep. Tonight, you stay up a little later, and find out what Han talks about after he thinks you're asleep.
Warnings: None!
*******
Laying down with Han at the end of the day was always what you were looking forward to most when you got up in the morning. After all the smuggling, fighting, and running you would do with Chewie, it was nice to lay back and relax with the love of your life.
Maybe that was why you felt yourself falling towards sleep much faster with Han than you would've been without him.
"Back in those days, they didn't have marcinium detectors like they do now. It was much easier for Chewie and I to run trips between Nolana and Quermec." Han was quietly talking, like he always was after lights out. It helped you to get to sleep faster.
What it probably was was the adrenaline of the day that kept you awake just a little bit longer than normal. The three of you had been caught smuggling ten barrels of an illegal substance across a star system. Being arrested would have been inconvenient, to say the least. But I digress, the point was by the time your breath had evened out and you were completely comfortable, you were still just enough awake to hear Han talk. And talk he did.
After a slight pause, which you later realized was Han assessing whether or not you were asleep, he started talking about something other than his and Chewie's exploits before you came along.
"...I wish you could have seen yourself through my eyes today. You were...a force to be reckoned with. I thought we were done for once that guard got suspicious, but you saved us--like you always do. You were so calm, collected, and confident that honestly, I thought about blowing the whole operation and kissing you senseless right there.
"I could kiss you anytime, really. Any day of the week. Even when you just wake up, and you have those little crusty things by your eyes, I just want you all to myself. You know what? Especially then. I just love you so much. It grows more and more everyday and--"
"Do you talk like this about me every night?" you interrupted him to ask.
Han was silent for a few moments. He was probably embarrassed that you had caught him gushing about you. Eventually, he spoke, "How long have you been listening?"
"I never fell asleep, honey," you looked at him with a smirk.
Almost like it was second nature, Han kissed your forehead, but he looked a little distressed.
"Baby?" Your smirk still had not left your face.
"Yes?"
"You know I love you just as much, right? Even when you have the crusty things in your eyes in the morning."
And just like that, Han was back to normal, with a smirk of his own on his lips. “You love me just as much, huh? I find that hard to believe since my love for you spans the whole of the galaxy."
"Who says my love doesn't?"
