Even through dirt, sweat, and blood Rey was gorgeous. Since being rescued, she had cleaned herself up and changed into a new set of clothes. It appeared she was assimilating well so far. It made a wider smile tug at his lips, listening to her thank him for everything he had done. Honestly, Jax needed no reward or recognition. The only thanks he wanted in return was knowing that Rey was indeed safe and sound. People do not just connect in the force without good reason. It was something the male had read about before, a long time ago. Some people believed it was only a fable. Not many in the Force believed Force-bonds were real. There was only one logical explanation from the possible reasons that the connection happened. Not only did the connection happen, but it was strong as well. Without a shadow of doubt, Jax believed they were truly soul mates. Even if he had not read about it, that feeling was obvious from their first meeting. Even before he read about the force-bond, that first night with Rey was special. It felt like the other half of his heart was found, put together, and completed. Ever since that fateful night at the former Jedi temple, Jax lived in pain. His fellow Jedi trainees were all slaughtered, but he somehow managed to escape. Lucky to alive, but feeling guilty that he was the only one, Jax refused to back down from the fight. Therefore, he joined the Resistance and continued working closely with General Organa. As long as he was around, there was hope for the Jedi to return. Master Skywalker has still been missing ever since that night, leaving Jax to fend for himself. He felt abandoned and he often felt like there was no reason he was still alive. With Rey in his life, there was an entirely new outlook. There was even happiness. It was so foreign to feel this way, he almost forgot what being happy felt like. Yet, Rey completed him, made him whole, and made him smile. The best part of each day was bonding with Rey, teaching her how to harness her power and control her power. She did not have a lightsaber yet, but that was quickly going to change. One step at a time, though. Locking eyes with the brunette, Jax finally pieced together a proper response. Youre very welcome, Rey, but you do not need to thank me. It was the right thing to do. After we connected, I could not bear the thought of something happening to you. If anything, Im the one who should be thanking you instead. At this point, the male paused and reached down to take her hand much like he did a few nights ago. Instead of stopping there, Jax placed his other hand onto the side of Reys face, gently stroking her soft skin with the pad of his thumb. Before you came into my life, everything was dull and bleak. Now, everything has color and is bright and vivid. Two people do not just connect in the force together without good reason. This might be much for you to take in, but the old Jedi texts tell us there are only three ways that a force-bond could happen. Either the two people are family members, the two people are soulmates, or it is just destiny itself. I confidently believe it is because we are meant to be together, we are meant to be soulmates. I know you feel it, too. I can sense it. My heart only beats for you, now. I could not imagine losing you, Rey. I needed to reach you as quickly as I could. If I lose you, I dont know what else there is for me in this world. I havent felt happiness in a very long time, as you know. Now, when Im with you, I cant stop feeling it. I love seeing your smile, I love hearing your laugh. Our connections turned into late night conversations together and I savored each one. Now, we do not have to rely on the force-bond anymore. We are at each others side, and I promise you that I will do my best to ensure we never have to leave. Youve changed my life for the better and I cannot thank you enough or tell you just how much you mean to me. The feelings were pouring out now, but Jax felt it was necessary. After all, these were good things he talked about with Rey. There was no reason to feel skittish about telling her. Everything with Rey was beautiful, pure, and happy. His entire body felt warm and his heart was rapidly beating, feeling like it was going to hammer so hard that it would jump out of his chest. Unsure of how Rey would respond, Jax simply kept his hand on her face and a soft look in his eyes. Even if she did not reciprocate these feelings, Jax would care for her and keep her safe. It was just impossible for him to keep quiet any longer. Rey should know, she deserved to know. After all, if she reciprocated the feelings, then it opened up an entire new world for them to explore together. That was something he absolutely wanted with the girl, but only time would tell if he could get it. They would be going into hiding for a few days, so they have nothing to do except spend time together. That time could be spent in a variety of ways, but Jax hoped it primarily was spent with her in his arms and their lips together. Jax was enjoying their time together already, but being able to have Rey in this sense would be the ultimate victory.
