Recently went through my PS4 and started finishing single player games I bought. Fallen Order was high on that list, but the ending didn't pander to my headcanons. So I fixed it.
Enjoy my newfound ship. :)
"Hey, kid."
Vision murky, Cal Kestis awoke, half-lucid.
"Cal? Cal!"
Cal gasped and lurched forward as he awoke to Greez and BD-1 standing over him.
"Cere?" he gasped out. Last he had seen, she'd been fainting (along with him) in the depths of Nur's oceans.
"She's alright. She's alright," Greez half-whispered. BD-1 jumped down onto Cal's chest with a shrill beep. 'Master Kestis succeeded! He is truly a blessing!'
"You too," the young Jedi responded, grimacing slightly as he attempted to sit up. Dull pain flared.
"You did it." Greez sounded amazed.
"We did it?" Cal asked. As soon as he asked, he remembered. The Holocron. Nur. Trilla (poor Trilla). Despite the odds, they had succeeded. He smiled and sat up again, only for lancing pain to gut him.
He flinched as Greez supported him. "Oh, be careful."
"Where are they?" Cal asked, swinging his legs off the cot. Greez pointed to the hold.
"They're out there," he said, adding on as Cal darted for the room. "Whoa, hold on, wait a minute!"
Staggering with one hand to his chest, the young Jedi entered the common room only to be met with Merrin immediately stalking over and kissing him.
His first reaction was shock. Merrin, the chaste Nightsister who had never even shown a hint of interest in him (well, interest as a friend, but no romantic interest) kissing- in full view of the rest of the crew, mind- him.
She broke off way too soon as he winced. "Sorry," she said quickly, putting her hands in front of her. Behind her, Cere's eyes widened slightly.
"It was you," Cal said breathlessly. "You were the one in the water."
Merrin nodded once. "I'm glad you're okay, Cal."
She motioned quickly to Greez. "This one wouldn't leave your side," she added, with a chuckle in her voice. Greez smiled awkwardly. Cal regarded both of them. "Thank you."
He didn't catch Greez's reaction, but Merrin nodded gravely.
The two walked together towards the small living area. Cere looked at Cal, asking an unspoken question. He nodded slowly.
"Hey."
"Hey."
