[h3]Ben Solo[/h3] Silence. It permeated the room as Odette spoke, her words were like silk on his heart. It made him want more, to crave the sensation of knowing that: no matter what happened she would be there for him. The Young Solo found his pale countenance taunt and gently twisted. The Jedi were taught to refrain from emotions, so said Luke. But what if they couldn't? What if the pull was too strong, something godly like the Force. He hid his blushed face by turning even more towards the viewport. [color=red][I]I can't![/I][/color] he reminded himself vehemently. [color=red][I]I won't... Though she's right, its up to me to decide what [i]I[/i] want to do. I've been so concerned with the past and the secrets that I never considered it. The thought that I may have the pleasure of choosing my own destiny was ludicrous. If I really have the options, then I'll take my first step now.[/I][/color] Ben looked towards Odette, the real Odette; he saw through her beauty, through her heart, through her soul... all that was left in his sights was the greatly enlarge mote of Force energy that he had witnessed the first time he laid eyes on her. It reverberated, pulsed with a steady but reliable color. It was and always had been his guiding light. Without really thinking it through, he reached over towards her with his nearby hand and touched the side of her face. His resolved eyes were firm in his wants, so he was quick to move gently towards the back of her head; he thumbed the front of ear kindly. Ben fell towards her slowly, his lips somewhat parted in hesitance though he knew he wouldn't stop. The look on her face was near priceless, it sparked a friendly smirk on his face. [color=red][b]"If I go too far you can shoot me later,"[/b][/color] he whispered, leaning ever closer till their lips were but inches from one another. [color=red][b]"Odd, you are my light. If you was ever to leave I'm sure the Dark Side would take me. To keep that from happening, I'll make you mines. Right here,"[/b][/color] he uttered even quieter. [color=red][b]"Right now."[/b][/color] His lips fell on hers not a second after, the warmth between them kindeled something inside of him. Flourished a new feeling of freedom as his chains were broken.
