Given the generalized lack of paternal role models--Solo had been like that, briefly, but more for Rey than for him--it probably would be good for Finn. Not to mention the general curiosity about Poe in general that he's barely scratched the surface of. What could it have been like to grow up in the shadow of the war, with both parents involved? It had certainly turned Poe into the man he is, and Finn can't complain about that.
"Yeah. And if he doesn't get back to you, we'll just have to spend more time on the beach." The medics had said laying around and relaxing in the sun would be great for his back, even if they were smiling about it and exchanging some amused looks. What, like he didn't know they'd be jealous of getting to see Poe Dameron in a swimsuit?
"What a trial," Poe says, laughing. He gives Finn a gentle shake 27th the arm around his shoulders.
... He should probably let go sometime soon. But... Well.
He'd kind of guessed Finn didn't have a bathing suit. Which is fair, because, "I have to get one too, so no problem. Haven't hit the beach in years, that's why I thought it'd be so much fun. So we can help each other out."
Finn sure doesn't mind. It's comfortable sitting like this, leaning against Poe. And he is supposed to be relaxing on this trip, isn't he?
"Good, because I don't even know where to start. You really are okay with babysitting me the whole time, huh?" Yes, Poe hasn't got sick of him yet and Finn knows he asks a lot of questions, but--except for Rey, there isn't anyone he'd rather spend time with, and he's pretty sure Rey and Poe would get along.
"We'll figure it out." Buying stuff is generally easy, and there should be plenty of shops on Spira just for guys in their situation. He tightens his arm around Finn's shoulders a little too pull him in closer, rest their heads against each other for a second. "Not babysitting, Finn. Taking you somewhere and having fun. Nowhere I'd rather be."
