Scars don't define you, you define yourself; Poe Dameron x reader

"Hello BB-8". He happily chirped back a hello to me. BB-8 is as you probably know Poe's loyal droid. He and I were actually there together when he got BB-8 and the little droid looks at us like both of us are it's masters. BB-8 chirped and beeped at me again then I said.

"Oh really?" He moved his head up and down giving me a nod as I said again. "Well what is it?" BB-8 then opened up on of his compartments and held out a small box. I took the box and opened it revealing a beautiful crystal. I gasped as I examined it. It's silvery color gleamed like the stars and even though it looked all bumpy in appearance it was actually quite smooth to the touch.

If I'm being truthful I won't deny that shortly after I met Poe, I've had quite the crush on him. On some missions if he could, he would find treasures like these and bring them back to me secretly I think that he likes me the way I like him but there are a few problems that need to be looked at.

One; if he doesn't really like me the way I like him then it would ruin our friendship, Number two; we're at war so I wouldn't want the best pilot in all the galaxy to be distracted with me, Three and most importantly; he wouldn't want to be seen with a broken girl like me.

There's one thing I forgot to mention, to hide my scar I had made a special patch that goes over my whole scar and only my aunt Leia and the medical staff only know of it, I haven't told Poe or anyone else of what's underneath my patch. But of course it never stops Poe from trying to see what's hidden underneath. Everytime he tries to get me to spill what's under my patch and everytime I distract him with something else or tell him to just drop it because if I haven't told him now then I would never tell him in the future.

"I take it that you like it?" Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

"It's beautiful Poe, where did you find it?"

"At one of the merchants, cost me quite a bit but it was worth it, because I couldn't stop thinking about you when I saw it". He flirted with me.

But I try to tell myself that he's only doing that because we've been friends for so long.

"A sacred treasure, with so much more beauty on the inside". Oh that low-down dirty trickster.

"Nice try Dameron, but if I haven't told you after all these years, what makes you think I'll change my mind for a gem?"

"Oh come on (y/n)! It can't be that bad with what's under there!" My heart ached and I pushed the box into his chest and I sneered.

"You know what Dameron, there are just some things about me that are meant to be locked away and kept hidden. So don't go around trying to force someone to sharing something personal to them!" I then took off running with him crying out my name.

I reached my room and leaned up against my door trying to keep my breathing under control. I slowly made my way to my bathroom and took a good look at myself in my mirror.

My hands began to shake as I reached up for the straps behind my head and slowly removed my patch revealing the beast within.

My left eye was darkly dimmed of my normal (e/c), the scar from the lightsaber went from my eyebrow and actually curved like a crescent down to the tip of my cheekbone. Red and white scaring was all over my eye almost like the left side of my face was spurting out a spark of fire. My body shook as I stared at this hideous mark and I slowly slid down to the ground as I continued to sob.

"Commander Skywalker I've received word from the General that you're needed in the—oh! Oh my are you alright Miss?" I heard the robotic voice of C-3PO. I sniffled and wiped away my tears and turned my head away and said.

"Yeah I'm—I'm fine 3PO, just tell her that I'll be there in just a moment".

"Yes Commander". He then walked away but it was then I felt a comforting tap on my arm and low beeping sounds I looked through my peripheral vision to see orange and white seeing that it was BB-8.

"I'm sorry BB-8, but not even I can show you". I reached up for my patch and put it back on as BB-8 beeped again asking why not. "Because then you would never look at me the same again, nor would Poe". He flinched back shockingly and beeped at my frantically saying that would never happen. Both he and Poe care about me and just want me to be happy and not keep whatever this secret is that I'm keeping inside forever.

"He is right you know" I looked up to see Poe standing right by my bathroom door and he knelt down beside me and said, "you've kept this a secret ever since I met you crying underneath that X-wing. I don't want you to feel like you need to keep this bottled up inside before you explode. You can tell me anything (y/n), we tell each other everything". I took a deep breath and finally saw the truth.

He was right. He and BB-8 deserved to know what I've been keeping from them all these years.

I then began to tell them the whole story about me helping my father train the next generation of Jedi, my cousin's betrayal, and mentioning the scar but I was too afraid to show them, especially to Poe.

"(Y/n), show me". I lowered my head solemnly fearing for his reaction to it when I felt his finger under my chin and he gently lifted my chin up. "Don't be afraid, I promise to not be disgusted or afraid of whatever is hidden behind that patch, I promise". I slowly and shakily reached up for my patch when I felt Poe's hands reach up to touch mine. I was worried that he was going to force me to remove my patch but instead he just kept his hands gently on top of mine. He and I looked at each other, our faces so close enough to almost kiss each other and he softly smiled and nodded. He was telling me that I was in control, he was just there for support knowing that he wasn't going to turn away from me, but be here to help me face my fear. I slowly removed the straps and I felt his fingers entwine with mine as I moved the straps away from my head and allowed the patch to fall to the ground.

Poe just stared at me with shocked expression. Afraid that he was going to change his mind now that he saw me, I reached up to cover my face but he stopped me and held my face in his hands and snarled.

"If I had known this earlier I would've taken down more Tie-fighters and storm troopers on my missions".

"You—you're not....disgusted? Horrified?"

"Of course not! (Y/n), anyone who hurts my girl like this will taste the blasters from my X-wing, and the next time I see your cousin I'll give him one hell of a beating for doing this to you". He then leaned towards my lips and kissed me.

Oh god Poe Dameron is kissing me!

I closed my eyes and kissed him back as I wrapped my arms around him. That's when we both heard the loud successful chirping and beeps of BB-8. We separated and smiled at him then Poe turned to look at me as he gently stroked my left cheek with his thumb. He then leaned forward and lightly kissed my scar in loving, repeated feather like kisses.

"Baby, your scars don't define you for you who are. You define yourself as who you really are. You are beautiful. Inside. And out. Never forget that. I'll show it to you every day for the rest of our lives if I have too. Which I don't mind either way". He stated between each feather light kiss to my left eye. I smiled and happily laughed as tears fell down my right eye.

"You always know how to make me feel better".

"Anything to see that beautiful smile on your face babe, I love you (y/n)".

"I love you too Poe". He then handed me back the crystal he had found and he whispered.

"And that's not the best part," He then told BB-8 to cut off the lights and as soon as we were in darkness, the crystal actually glowed a bright blue within. I gasped at it's shining beauty and turned to Poe who was smiling his famous grin. "I told you, a sacred treasure with so much more beauty on the inside. Just as it's beautiful on the outside". I smiled back at him and kissed him again feeling his arms bringing me close to him in a loving embrace as we continued to kiss.

Beauty is skin deep, it's not just the outside but the inside that counts as well. As Poe said, your scars don't define you as you are, you define yourself as you are. From that day on, I never again wore that patch, even if people would stare, Poe would defend me and tell them I got it from saving the galaxy before any of them could learn to fly straight.
