stars in my eyes (also this thread is killing me thx)

I do. [ Poe's voices is uncharacteristically hard. ] I do want that.

[ He would so love for this to just be about the fact that Finn lied to General Organa. It would be so much simpler if Finn having to tell her the truth would be the only consequence. But it's more than that. If it gets out, if people find out that Finn lied, that he put them all at that kind of risk--

Poe isn't naive. Sure, there would be people who said all's well that ends well. But Poe can't see everyone in the Resistance letting Finn off the pike. To them he would be a traitor, maybe even a First Order spy. Oddy Muva didn't live long enough to get a trial. The narrative Suralinda fabricated turned him into a hero, and Poe knows how bitter some of his team still is about that.

Finn saved his life. An act of necessity, but until now Poe has seen it as an act of incredible courage. Courage, to escape the First Order. Courage to bring BB-8 back to D'Qar.

(You completed my mission. You're a good man, Finn.)

Poe closes his eyes and takes a long, slow breath.

He's still not sure how he feels. He still believes Finn is a good person. He also believes that Finn has no idea, no real idea what he's done. ]
No. You can't tell her.

[ Then he takes the step that Finn didn't, bringing them within arm's reach. And punches Finn's shoulder lightly. ] You should have told me. You asked me for help. You used me, Finn, and you used the Resistance. My friends. My family. They all could have died, do you get that? People who mean as much to me as Rey does to you.
