It’s both a blessing and a curse, having a roommate like Ben Solo.
A blessing, because he’s hot and serious and interesting in unexpected ways.
A curse, because she isn’t the only woman to think so—and she is reminded of that fact all the time. https://twitter.com/reylo_prompts/status/1255623646036426752

It isn’t just the fact that women all but throw themselves at him that remind Rey that her roommate is untouchable. It’s also the fact that their adjoining bedrooms share a very, very thin wall.
Ben rarely actually brings women home. But when he does, Rey hears everything.

She hears the way they whimper and moan as he does whatever it is he does to them.
Maybe he presses lingering kisses to their breasts. Or maybe he mouths at their sex until they fall apart.
Of course, once the bed springs start squeaking Rey 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 what's going on.

They don't usually stay long the next morning. Sometimes they stay for coffee, but usually they give him a smile and a wave and are gone before Rey has even had a shower.
Somehow, that makes having to hear what's going on worse.
She likes to think she would stay.

One woman--Karen; a nice enough girl, Rey supposes--starts coming around a lot. Rey sees them around campus sometimes, too, holding hands or sharing lunch.
"What do you think of my girlfriend?" Ben asks Rey, point blank, one afternoon, as she's eating her soup.
Girlfriend?

Girlfriend?
"She's great," Rey says, her voice flat, her eyes on her spoon. She tries not to think of the pleasured sounds she heard last night from Ben's bedroom when she adds, "She seems terrific, actually."
Ben nods, and frowns.
"Yeah," he says, not meeting her eyes.
Ben nods, and frowns.
"Yeah," he says, not meeting her eyes.
That night the noises from Ben's bedroom seem lackluster at best. His bed springs hardly bounce at all before Rey hears Karen say in a calm, clear voice,
"I'm sorry, Ben. But that's just too big. I'm going home now, okay?"
"I'm sorry, Ben. But that's just too big. I'm going home now, okay?"
"Too big?" Ben sounds crestfallen. "Really?"
"Yeah," Karen says. The bed squeaks once, and then footsteps cross his bedroom floor. "Definitely too big."
His door opens, and then shuts again. And then Karen is gone and out of their apartment.
Silence from the room next door.

And then, at length, a loud forlorn sigh.
Rey bites her lip, considering.
Does she say anything? That would be weird. Right? Because then he'd know she can hear everything that goes on next door.
But Karen just said his dick was too big. And Rey...
Well. Now, Rey's curious.

10. Rey stares at herself in her bedroom mirror and takes a deep, steadying breath.
She’s getting a Master’s degree in electrical engineering. She does 5 hard things every day before breakfast.
She can totally ask her hot roommate about the size of his dick.

11. Rey stands outside Ben’s closed bedroom door, her right hand raised and clenched into a tight fist, ready to knock.
But before her hand connects with the wood Ben opens his door.
“Ben,” Rey begins. She can do this. She can. “Can I ask you something?”

12. Ben frowns, and runs a large hand through his thick dark hair. It shouldn’t surprise her that her roommate is hung, really. He’s so big everywhere else. His hands. His ridiculously broad shoulders.
“You heard what Karen said,” he mutters. It isn’t a question. “Didn’t you.”
“You heard what Karen said,” he mutters. It isn’t a question. “Didn’t you.”
13. Rey takes a step back, a little stunned by his blunt statement. She thought she was going to have to dance around what she wanted to ask him. What she wanted to know.
Apparently she’s not the only one who’s noticed the walls are paper thin.
“Yeah,” she admits.
“I see.”

Rey takes another deep breath and decides—fuck it.
“Do you hear that a lot?”
Ben peers at her. “Do I hear what a lot?”
He’s going to make her say it, isn’t he.
Fine.
“That it’s too big.”
Ben’s eyes widen a little. But he recovers quickly.
“Yeah.” He nods. “I do.”

15. Rey waits, expecting Ben to elaborate. To tell her that, yes--every time he drops his pants in front of someone they can hardly believe their eyes his dick is so huge.
But he doesn't. He just silently holds her gaze for what feels like hours.
And then: "Can I show you?"
