Outside the Radio Station | Early Morning

[long_memory]

If Silver were a little less of a coward, he might have some shame about asking his girlfriend to escort him to and from the radio station. As it was, he was a huge coward and really did not care in the slightest. Rey was going to be out doing heroic Jedi stuff anyway, so it wasn't like it was that big of an ask.

"I don't like any of this," he said as he stepped out of the station. He was tucking a bottle of rum into his coat pocket. If he was going to be stuck at home for a few days, he might run out so he dipped into the squirrel's supply. He'd make it up to them later.

[For the girl!]

"I don't think stressful is a strong enough word for what this is," she agreed.

They at least seemed to have made it within sight of the apartment building without anything horrible happening. "You'll be careful though, right? Only pick a fight with the squid if it starts something first?"

"I'll be careful," she promised. "I don't want to have to get into any fights."

Half the time she felt like she wouldn't win them anyway.

"Good," he said, leaning in for a kiss. "I'll be careful too. Won't turn on the oven or anything."

Rey smiled, kissing him back. "Maybe leave that until when I get back?"

"I'll stick only to food I don't have to cook," he promised.

"I appreciate it," Rey smiled. "You can even feel free to use my pantry if you'd like."

The reason it was so well-stocked for was weeks like this, really.

[long_memory]

"I forgot about that," he said. "Now I really appreciate your ability to think ahead."

Because Silver didn't keep much food around, let's be real.

"I'm usually thinking ahead to things like this," she told him.

[long_memory]

"And look how it turned out," he said. "You were right."

[thatwaslucky]

"I do like hearing that," Rey decided.

As long as she didn't think about what she was actually right about...
