The Beginning of The First Order - 1x1 Mature

"Hey, hey, hey. Shut up with that. You didn't hurt me. I'm not made of circuits." Joran tried to ease the situation down a bit as he slowly sitting up beside her, as he moved his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him, hugging her from behind. "Everything is fine, alright? Trust me. I'm not hurt." Slowly he moved down to the spots on her back, touching them every so lightly. He wished there was something more he could for her, as he didn't even know where to begin.

Another spasm moved through his arm a bit as he placed his head over her shoulder. "If you keep blaming yourself, I will tickle you until you stop." He warned her, making sure she knew the threat was real by slightly allowing his breath to pass over her neck just ever so lightly. "I'm not afraid to use my trump card." He kissed her cheek softly as he pulled his face back from her neck so that he wasn't accidentally tickling her.

"If you want to talk about whatever your nightmare was about, I'm here to listen." His hands instinctively found hers, making sure that he softly gave them a squeeze. He leaned against her while softly rocking back and forth just a little bit, trying to help her calm down. Her heart rate was still a bit racy from the moment prior. "Did it have something to do wit me?" He remembered the way she had looked at him, and had hesitated to touch him, caused him to believe something had happened in her nightmare.

The amount of rage and anger flying from Solaras at the moment he woke up started to actually scare him. The energy build up inside of her was startling as he could feel the static slowly start to flow off of her. Maybe she was having a nightmare, so he softly cooed into her ear as he softly kissed cheek, and the her forehead, ignoring the static that transferred between them through his lips. Pain was inevitable in this situation, but that didn't matter to him.

Her grip intensified for a moment, before he started to see lightning arc off her body, striking random items around them room, shorting their circuits. His legs wrapped around her body as he clung tighter to her. She was getting tickled heavily once she was awake, as he knew she would need to be cheered up. He could feel heartache in the way her body was sending off grief, and that was without any need of force training.

After a few more moments, it slowly had come to an end, but not before sending a shock through his body as he felt fully awake now. Slowly her eyes opened as he looked down into her eyes. He could feel the flood of emotions running through her, but couldn't tell what had caused them. No words were shared as he softly lifted her chin up to where she was looking him in the eyes. Slowly he leaned down and pressed his lips on her forehead as he twitched just a bit from the static in his body.

"I should tickle you... you broke the room service holopad." Of course he would joke in a situation such as this one. "And the TV.... and the lights... you know, maybe we should find a new place to stay before they come and see the damage." He teased softly as he continued to just look in her eyes, the visions of the dream passing through his mind, before he pushed them to the back of said mind, it was only a dream.

"You know it isn't hard to make me happy. You easily have the easiest time out of everyone, without any effort even. Which is impressive." Joran chuckled softly as he glanced down at the tuxedo and shook his head. "I look like I am so out of place in this thing. Especially since everyone knows where I come from, and what I use to do in life." Joran cringed a bit at that thought, since everything about him was now in the public's eye, since the First Order was using his kidnapping as ammo against the Resistance.

The world started to shift as he felt a searing pain tear through his chest. Looking down at his chest, he could see the burning red blade of what he could only assume was a saber. The only thought that ran through his mind at the moment was, 'Oh, you have got to be shitting me!'. Feeling the blade be pulled back through his body, Joran didn't move for a moment, as part of the audience sat there in complete shock, the others screaming and trying to escape from the area

Everything moved into slow motion as he closed his eyes and fell to the ground, but never hit the actual ground as he was jarred awake in reality. The pain in his chest was still dully aching from the wound in the dream, but Solaras was also in his arms, almost as if she was wrapped so tightly around him that she was trying to protect him.

"I will say that Solaras Jace doesn't match how wonderful you look in that dress." Joran's lips were quivering a bit as she had put him in his place with her words. Of course he knew that, he remembered how far she had went to track him down. He'd read the various mission reports on the matter. He'd been transferred between countless ships and planets, each location being tore through just days after he had been in those spots.

"Nothing in the universe makes me happier than hearing that." Now it was his turn to wonder exactly where the hell these words had come from, but it also felt like he could feel the words coming from an outside source. Waving it off as just his imagination, he smirked. "You know, maybe we can keep the marriage around after we get some revenge on the traitors? We could be the next power couple." Another part of his post-smuggler antics had sent him into politics, since he was now sidelined for the time from any longer term mission, and he needed something to do.

"Does this mean I am taking your last name? Are you taking mine? How does this work?" Joran teased a bit in only the way that he could in a moment like this. Of course they would be killing a few people in a few moments, but at the same time, technically this was going to be a legally binding marriage. Though that caused the butterflies to flutter in his stomach. She had rescued him, those memories flooded his mind as he could feel everything that had happened before this moment for some reason. This was the most realistic dream he could ever remember being in.

"You would be the most beautiful politician to still not have a significant other. You could do a billion times better than some smuggler." The after affects of the... torture? There was some kind of torture he was slowly starting to remember as he closed his eyes. It was as if something washed over him painfully for a moment, and then suddenly he remembered everything, and just knew she could be with anyone in the universe she wanted. There had been plenty of suitors after her during their last time of Coruscant, that he had told her to go after, because it was in the direct aftermath of his torture.

The shift into the world of dreams was always so weird to Joran, as he always knew that he was actively dreaming. Well, at least normally that was the case. But in this one moment, he didn't know what to believe. He couldn't remember how he even got to this point, or what had lead to this point. This point being an extravagant wedding that would bring politicians and a ton of others to the wedding. It was apparently to be heralded as the wedding of the century.

The two subjects? Why Solaras Apontha and Joran Jace, two of the highest ranked members of the First Order. Both of which had recently resurfaced with a Vengeance, having personally led a space battle against the New Republic. The war was still brewing, but this also caused a much needed Cease Fire between both sides.

Standing beside him was Solaras, her hair down and she was wearing a beautiful dress. Their hands were softly locked as he looked over at her smiling. "This mission was your idea, and yet I feel like this was an elaborate scheme." The smile was his traditional infectious one that held a certain charm to it, something that completely matched the tuxedo he was wearing. "If you wanted to marry me, you just had ask, you didn't have to make up some mission to lure people in."

Apparently this was the only real way to draw a bulk of the politicians that needed to be slaughtered like the pigs they were into one area. Solaras' marriage to the Smuggler Extraordinaire himself. This had been his first mission since being captured by the Republic, and had taken months to actually setup. "I mean, you got person that could actually marry us and everything. You'd think that we'd just fake it. I think someone just doesn't want to admit it. You just can't stand the thought of me looking anyone else.... Not that I do or have!" He quickly added, knowing not to upset her on the wedding day.

"You have the most adorable giggle." Joran decided to tease her a bit, as he just enjoyed giving her some shit every now and then. "Don't worry... you secret is safe with me." His smile never left his face as he yawned just a little bit that he had been stiffing for a little while. "Though that doesn't mean I won't use it to my advantage."

"Well we need to make it known that I have no intention of not being your partner. You make things so much more fun." He could feel her body getting closer to him, which he gave no objections to. Slowly he pulled her more on top of his body, so that he could really tuck the blanket around them, and hopefully be more comfortable to her, since the bed was only meant for one person. "I feel at ease around you... Like the stress of a mission doesn't exist. I haven't felt this comfortable... ever."

"Do you think the Force influences things? Like connects people to each other?" He was now wondering just how much the Force had to do with the fact that they were in a bed, together, like this. "Because if that's the case, I Feel like I can dig being Force Sensitive. It's brought me someone to trust." His eyes closed as his breath slowly started to stabilize.

The look in her eyes when his legs wrapped around her sides was perfect, giving him the best moment in quite possibly his life. Something about her just clicked with him, almost as if they would have been best friends since they were children. They were definitely on the same wavelength when it come to camaraderie. It was nice to just be able to cut loose and have some fun for the moment.

Feeling her hands touch his chest sent his heart thumping harder than he thought possible, then that was coupled with the rapping at the door, which caused him to cease his tickling for the moment. Once she had replied to the door, and the person had left, he allowed the small smile to cross his face. Slowly he leaned down with his arms wrapping around her, now returning to the laying position beside her. This time, he wrapped his arm around her neck, pulling her gently to him.

His own laughter had matched hers as maybe this was the exact thing they both needed. A way to just have fun outside of the jobs they were doing. Everything had been entirely too stressful forever, so maybe they were the perfect partners. They could have lighthearted moments such as this, while in the very next moment they could be breaking necks.

"I feel we should make a formal request to be assigned as partners. I can't imagine wanting to work with anyone else." His legs had managed to snake their way around her, while he slowly pull the blanket up around them. "The Force is all encompassing, yes?" Now he was curious about what she was going to answer his questions about the Force.

In one moment, Joran was actually started to hear the noise he thought he was hearing come from Solaras. She was actually giggling, and it was quite possibly the most adorable thing he had ever seen in his life. Something about the way she giggle was just precious, especially when it moved to more of an almost laugh. Though, now he knew her secret, and that was to be used against her now. Slowly he reach up and pushed away the holopad, not caring about room service anymore.

The next moment, he felt his body moving on it's own. His legs suddenly straddling around her while now seemingly making him the hunter, and her the prey. "I would have never guessed in a million years, you would be ticklish." A certain sadistic side seemed to be leaking from Joran as he couldn't help himself. Slowly he moved his head back down to her neck, the hunter moving in for the kill strike on it's prey.

His breath cascade over her neck as now his hands moved down to the sides of her body, checking one of the more commonly known ticklish spots on the anatomy, which was something he prided himself on knowing. Something about the moment, he deemed it okay to tickle something that was his superior in rank, and in ability when it come to the force, but that didn't matter to him at the moment. What mattered to him at this point was helping her escape the realities they were in.

The Beginning of The First Order - 1x1 Mature

Watching the now only slightly spinning form of Solaras walking towards the table, her back completely to him that he started to wonder what had sent her into this state of mind. It was clear as day something was wrong, but now she was acting like it wasn't. They had been so open with each other, yet now something had caused a rift between them. Though she seemed to be bouncing back incredibly fast from whatever had happened as she was downing a glass of water like it was nothing.

The moment she had landed on the bed, he felt the need to curl up against her to make sure she was alright. Closing his eyes, he expertly slid his left arm behind the small of her back, while his head moved into the crook of her neck, but not before he decided to do something he could possibly regret in a matter of moments. Softly he placed his lips against her cheek as he then receded back into her shoulder while she looked over the menu for room service.

"I don't mind what we get. I have a nice pillow to sleep on, and apparently I am getting paid to just stay in a room with someone who I can safely say I feel has my back." That was something he hadn't felt in many a years. Having someone around that he knew would have his back, and someone he wanted to protect. Which was weird considered she was a Knight, and he was the Smuggler Extraordinaire. The craziest duo in the universe by far.
