[Being fine without her was, well, fine - but it was the idea that he was accusing her of making his life worse that made her temper flare.]

[On the other hand, Leia had also had her share of suitors on Alderaan, but she never had time for any of them. She was too busy finding her footing in the Alderaanian court and eventually in the Rebellion. When Han and Luke came along, she suddenly found herself part of a bizarre love triangle - which thankfully resolved itself because Luke turned out to be her twin.]

[Either way, the point of the matter was that she needed both of them alongside her - her brother and her husband.]

[She was going to have to talk about this when they discussed feelings, huh? She couldn't wait.]

You had white hair. But the same jacket.

[It was a new one, actually, but she couldn't help herself. When wasn't she poking fun at Han?]

Same smile, same cocky air.

Same damn charm.

[Han might have talked big and thrown his weight around a little, but at the end of the day, Leia should have known where his loyalties lied. Surely Luke could see it, what with being all strong in the Force and wise-beyond-his-young-years. He could practically see the 'I told you so' look on Luke's face, though he was pretty sure the kid would never say as much.

Still, it was a little annoying. But honestly, the young Jedi knight had become like one of his closest friends. He might not have admitted it easily, but he trusted him, and he'd keep an eye out for him even if Luke didn't really need it.

Right now, though, he's honestly not sure he's enjoying this whole Leia meeting his older self thing. The almost-pout that crosses his lips at her words says as much.]

White hair? Same jacket? Come on, Leia - that doesn't sound like me.

[At least he's still got a pretty full head of hair? Nothing like hers, of course, but it's a start to making him feel a little better about aging.

But she softens the blow when she gives him the obvious pros. That smug grin returns, and he steps closer.]

Well, I guess it sounds like not much has changed. I'll bet I'm still the best damn pilot you've ever seen.

[Leia herself had known that Han was a good guy - after all, as she told him, "I knew there was more to you than money." However, unlike Luke, whose goodness naturally came through, it took a bit of wrestling in Han's case. He was so accustomed to his self-serving existence that going back to it was like falling back into old, familiar habits.]

[She was glad, though, that he was there when she needed him most. As much as he wanted to give up on the Rebellion, he always came back.]

Are you saying you're the type to color your hair? [She gave him a look of amusement.] I suppose that sort of thing would appeal to your vanity.

Certainly the most reckless. I don't think anyone can top that. [Leia laughed, her foul mood momentarily forgotten as she easily took both his hands and pulled him close affectionately.]

[Han still had some scoundrel in him. Maybe he always would, if his future self was anything to go by. But he couldn't have left Leia's side willingly, not until great strife and grief drove him to leave and return to the smuggling life.

Until then... yeah, he had it bad for the princess.

Somewhere, Chewbacca is snuffling laughter mixed in with an "I told you so" right in his direction.

Yeah, yeah - laugh it up, fuzzball.]

Color my hair? [He snorted.] I don't know who this guy was, but clearly he's not me. The day my hair goes grey is the day I die.

[So a little vain, maybe. But her laughter had his offended look and his pout fading away, that old Han Solo grin twitching one corner of his lips upwards. He let her take his hands and pull him in easily, always a sucker for her charms.]

Yeah, well you like me because I'm reckless. There wasn't enough excitement in your life until I showed up. [He put his hands on her hips, pulling her closer still, his grin decidedly satisfied and smug.] Don't worry sweetheart - your secret's safe with me.

[Maybe there was a little bit of truth to Han's assertion that Leia liked him because he was a scoundrel. Just a little. She sure did enjoy keeping him on his toes, and by the way it seemed, he liked returning the favor. Maybe she did need that excitement in her life, and he needed a little reining in. Just a little on both accounts, of course.]

Stop your whining. You still looked good.

[Was that what he wanted to hear? Leia's smirk grew wider.]

[If he was a sucker for her charms, well, she'd been reeled in.]

[Was it a secret? She almost told him that everyone knew because she married him, but decided against spoiling the surprise if he had yet to know. After all, what was life with Han without a few more surprises?]

And your secret's safe with me - that you're actually a good guy, even if a scoundrel - and madly in love with a Princess, of all people. [She laughed.]

[They worked well together, balanced each other out a little in their own ways. That didn't mean Han would stop being a scoundrel, not completely anyway, and Leia would probably always feel that pull to politics, the world she had grown up in. But they were good at what they did, and he would be willing to give things up for her, because he cared about her so much. Maybe that was enough for now.

His expression was a cross between offended and smug, but mostly the latter because Leia still thought he had it, all those years into the future.

And then she was explaining how his secret was safe with her, then laughing like that... and of course his expression softened and he smiled, too. ]

Then I won't spread rumors about you actually being in love with a scoundrel. [He shot back smugly, though it was mostly just for show.]

Still, there are worse guys you could've ended up with. [And he hoped she never regretted ending up with him. Though for all he knew, they didn't last. This place was tempting in that it held secrets to his future, but right now, all that mattered was the beautiful young woman in his arms, smiling up at him like he was actually something special to her. It was more than enough for the smuggler who for so much of his life had just been struggling to scrape by.]

You won't - why, did it already occur to you to spread rumors before?

[Leia gave him a deadpan smirk. Somehow she could only imagine the fallout if he'd been boasting to people that he'd reeled her in with his scruffy charms. Luke, for one, would've been the first to intercede - and not because he was in love with her. ~~That was a different movie.~~]

Oh, trust me, I know. Every minute I spent with Jabba the Hutt was one too many.

[She made a face of disgust.]

Did you even get a chance to see what he made me wear? It was like armor, but the most useless armor anyone could ever have.

No! [Ahem. Han straightens his vest a little, even though it's perfect thank you very much, almost as if regaining what little composure he had left. Not that he's really offended or anything, mind.]

Now why would I want to go ruining my reputation? I'm still considered a highly respectable smuggler in most circles, you know. Last thing I want is for people to think I've gone soft.

[Except that he clearly has, in a mannerer of speaking. It's obvious he's got it bad for the princess, and there's not a thing he or anyone can do about it.

Still, Han makes a similarly disgusted face when she mentions Jabba. It quickly turns to a rather peeved off look, as he crosses his arms over his chest again.]

What I wouldn't have done to get my hands around that slimy slug's bulging neck... [But he frowns when she asks that question.]

No. Why, what did he make you wear?

[Oh Han, if you only knew.]

[Honestly, if he'd ever told anyone he was with Princess Leia, the last thing people would think is that he'd gone soft. She probably had a reputation as a serious ballbuster.]

Thanks for being offended on my behalf, but I took care of it.

[By strangling him. She made a face just thinking about it - and his drool, and the stupid outfit.]

His slaves aren't exactly the most modestly dressed women in the galaxy.

[She was pretty sure Boba Fett and everyone else got a great view of her ass.]

[Okay so that was probable true, but he's still deny it. If someone was gonna be wearing the pants in this relationship, he definitely would be fighting her for them on more than one occasion. (But probably give in more often than not.)]

Hey, you think I like the thought of that slug getting his grimy paws or his slimy.. tongue on you? [He grumbled, cringing outright.] That offends me just as much as it does you, Princess - probably even more.

[His expression was probably pretty funny when she admitted to not being dressed all that modestly. You could all but see the wheels turning in his mind. Couldn't blame a guy for wondering. But he got a hold of himself.]

Huh.

Good thing I couldn't see then. I probably would've blown the whole thing by shooting Jabba right between the eyes. You know I could do it.

[Let's not talk about Boba Fett or any other lowlifes getting a view of her assets, thank you very much. Han was huffy enough as it was.]

I was very offended, I'll have you know. [Her smirk was playful.] But you know, I also took offense to the idea that he had you as a hallway decoration.

[She had thrown the damn thing away because it was stupid and barely counted as underwear. Plus it had Jabba's drool on it. ~~However, if Han asked nicely, with a lot of begging, she might be persuaded to find something just as interesting, but certainly more comfortable.~~]

[Her smile grew at his boasting. She knew it was true, though, so she didn't take a jab at him for it.]

Our escape was exciting enough.

[She leaned in, her gaze teasing.]

You're kind of cute when you're jealous.

[He snorted, quietly dry.] Yeah. Let's not ever do that again, huh?

[Han wouldn't have wanted to see her wearing that bikini anyway, not after what she'd had to through in it the last time. Also yeah, all that drool and slime probably completely ruined it. ~~But he could definitely ask nicely for her sometime. He's definitely not above begging in private, just for her.~~]

I guess it was. Couldn't see most of it. Sure was a complicated plan, though. Still, I'm not sure Lando would agree with you on the exciting part. [After all, his friend nearly became lunch for the Sarlaac.

His brow rose when she leaned in like that.]

Jealous? Of that thing? I don't think you know what you're talking about, Leia.

[But it gave him the chance to pull her in again, his smile definitely smug.] Hey, I'm always cute.

Luke came up with it. It was one hell of a ride from start to finish.

[While Leia was normally the strategist, Luke was more knowledgeable on the Hutts and their behavior, having grown up on the planet. He was aware that it would've been better to draw Jabba out rather than to attack him in his own domain, which was why the plan was a success.]

Oh, I think I do know.

[Her eyes sparkled with mischief.]

[Han might have protested and made a fuss sometimes, but he trusted Luke with his life. Her twin brother was one of the few people in the galaxy he cared about, besides her and Chewie, of course. (Also Lando, if we're being honest here, but that guy could take care of himself.) It had made things all the more difficult and heartbreaking back when he thought the two of them were in love. Course, that was before anyone bothered to tell him they were actually RELATED.]

Oh you do, do you?

[Just one look into those eyes of her and Han knew he was in trouble. But right now, he honestly didn't care.]

I'm not sure you know me as well as you think you do, sweetheart.

[At the time, Leia believed he'd been really good at sacrificing his own feelings - he never acted out selfishly against Luke and even decided that he'd stand aside for the two of them to be together. She'd never really told him how selfless that was of him.]

Alright, so, if I told you that I had to traipse around in a stupid outfit that probably covered about a grand total of six inches of my body, it wouldn't be an issue to you?

[Sure, Han, lie through your teeth.]

['Selfless' wasn't a word Han thought described him, not since he'd always thought about what was best for himself and no one else. But then Leia and Luke had come into his life, changing everything, and though he wasn't a completely different person... something had definitely shifted.

But right now, he's not exactly thinking like that selfless person she's sure he is.]

Six inches, huh?

You know, I'm sure it was something I could get used to - if I had absolutely had to, I mean.

[Well hey, he was still a guy and Leia... well, she was hotter than a day when the sun was highest on Tatooine.]

[She was pretty sure Han would have an apoplectic fit if he saw her in that outfit and how Jabba had chained her like some sort of pet (of course, that was the point), but that definitely was not happening again - not if she could help it. After all, look what she did to Jabba.]

There are better options.

[She scoffed.]

I'd be happy to point them out.

[And, just to troll him, she'd probably show him the clothes that covered everything but her eyes.]

[Oh Han was definitely all talk. If he'd known the thing Jabba made her wear and everything it DIDN'T cover, he would have thrown a hissy fit - maybe even something reminiscent of a certain future son, just sayin'.]

Is that so.

[Sorry, he's not picking up her meaning yet. Please don't bring out the robes you wore in that first movie ~~no the prequels do not count here sorry~~]

You might have to show me these options, so I can make an informed decision. Maybe in the privacy of the Falcon later? I'll make sure Chewie goes about his business elsewhere.

[Because nothing would ruin a personal show of Leia parading the newest bedroom fashions than a wookie becoming an unintentional audience member.]

[And everyone had thought that Kylo Ren's tantrums came from his grandfather's side. Who would've known that his father could get equally pouty and petulant?]

[Okay, that just made her legitimately laugh because how Han would go about telling Chewbacca to . . . not look their way for a while was sure to be hilarious.]

I'll have to hear that. Call me when you tell him.

I'd better get planning, then. I can't present all the options for an informed decision without careful consideration.
