Kanera, Blind date au?

My stars this prompt is great I could have gone any number of directions but this one was too great to not write:

“You set me up on a WHAT?” Hera gaped at her friend in horror.

“A blind date,” Omega said, looking way too cheerful about the prospect. “Listen— we think you’ve been spending too much time working. The Empire’s not going to be overthrown overnight, and you need to spend some time on yourself. Like going on a date!”

There was a lot to unpack in that sentence. Hera decided to focus on it one part at a time. “We?”

“My brothers and I.”

Hera’s eyebrows shot up. “THEY’RE INVOLVED IN THIS?”

Omega nodded. “Hunter said he knows the perfect young man. Smart, kind, hates the Empire— you’ll love him!”

Letting out a long sigh, Hera said, “Omega, you know I don’t have time for that kind of thing. It’s just not a priority, not while the Empire’s still around.”

“I know,” Omega said, putting a hand on her arm. “But life doesn’t stop just because the Empire needs to be fought. Just think about it— I’m going to go check it with Echo.”

Hopping up from her seat, she headed across the restaurant to where her brother was sitting. Hera let out a long sigh, staring out across the open sea below them. She should have known visiting Pabu again was a bad idea.

“You okay?”

Glancing up, Hera saw a dark haired man standing nearby her table. She almost told him that it was none of his business— but there was something like genuine curiosity in his eyes. “Meddling friends,” she said.

The man snorted. “Oh, I know the type. Why my love life is any of their business is beyond me.”

“Exactly!” Hera said, throwing her hands up in the air. “Maybe I happen to have more important things going on than romance. And Force only knows with Omega’s friends, I’ll probably get stuck with someone insane.”

The corner of the man’s mouth tipped up in a grin. “Probably.”

“I’m back, and I brought snacks— oh, hi, Kanan!”

Hera turned at Omega’s cheerful voice. “I didn’t know you were already here,” the young woman continued, setting down the plates she’d been carrying. “And I see you met Hera.”

Slowly, Hera turned to face the man she’d been talking to. “You know the type, huh?” she said, raising a very pointed eyebrow.

He had the good sense to look a little sheepish. “In my defense, I wasn’t totally sure that it was you she was setting me up with. And I’m… less opposed to it now.”

Hera couldn’t say that she wasn’t less opposed as well. But she definitely wasn’t going to admit it. Folding her arms, she said, “Well, consider this your opportunity to convince me.”

Kanan grinned. “I like a challenge.”

Neither of them saw Omega smirking as she took a drink from her beverage.
