Summary
On the fic itself:
- “Is it working, for you?” Maybe it comes out a little needy, but Rey tells herself that it’s only because of how low she has to pitch her voice to talk to him. “Or do you maybe want to fake-break up?”Ben doesn't answer for a second. Then, just as Doctor Phasma takes the mic to thank the speaker and ask the audience if anyone has questions, Rey hears him say, “No. No, I don’t want to fake-break up.”They're not dating for real. Right?
As described by a fan:
Ben is a professor meanwhile Rey is still a gad student, I think? The whole conflict of the story is essentially Rey kissing Ben out of nowhere to avoid Hux from making advances on her. They eventually agree on having a pretend relationship and shenanigans ensues.
