[ Bodhi had had feelings for Poe. He'd always let them remain dormant, but they'd been there, since even before the haunted house, even. It'd been a small crush that had grown slightly into something stronger as time went by, but when Poe and Finn got together - even with his own feelings he'd found it hard to feel jealous, and settled for being happy for them. Because... he was. They were happy with one another, he liked Finn...
And he valued the friendship, either way and had no desire to cause any upsets with either one of them. But he only had this here, now. And since Poe was showing interest, he wasn't gonna turn it down.
If he went home tomorrow, he'd go home happy and satisfied, knowing he was loved and wanted by Poe. It's more than he could have said before this. It's Poe he worries about were he to disappear, even now. Because he doesn't want to be one more person he loses just after a few short months of happiness. It's inevitable that they both will go home sooner or later, but ... in the meantime...
They have this. Poe's mouth, warm on his own, kissing him in a way that got the message across. Bodhi deepens the kiss, bringing his hand to the back of his neck again, pulling himself flush against the other man. ]
[It was, frankly, intoxicating, being able to kiss Bodhi like this. The mountain of feelings he had for the man shifting a sliding into a new shape, but just as solid. He'd managed to compartmentalise how he felt about Bodhi - explained away his feelings as deep but ultimately platonic.
The fact that he would do anything for Bodhi had been true for a long time, to the point where he'd never think twice about it. He was devoted, and had been, almost from the start. He'd taken up a similar spot to where Leia had, in his heart: someone who's judgement, who's heart, he could trust above his own. Trust to do the right thing.
But it made his heartbeat stutter, the way Bodhi's body drew up against him, made his heart burn furiously hot inside his chest, warmth spreading to his fingertips.
He'd always loved him. Always wanted to give him everything. And the surging realization that he had something that could make Bodhi happy - that could, in turn, make him happy too...
He couldn't help it. He chuckled, deep and low and fond against Bodhi's mouth as he took the man's cue and deepened the kiss, wrapping an arm around the man's back and pulling him close.
