It’s no secret that the Mandalorian has always been the quiet type. He’s a man of few words, always watching, always observing, but rarely saying anything. His opinion on things? Nonexistent. What’s for dinner? Whatever you’re having, no questions asked. It’s never a big deal to him—he’s content in his silence, existing in his own world of armored solitude. But for some inexplicable reason, he has a soft spot for you.

You’re the only one who knows his bedtime routine, the little things that make him feel human amidst the endless battles and missions. You’re the only one who knows his favorite food, the one he craves when no one’s looking. You’re the only one who has ever seen him without his helmet, the man beneath the armor. It’s a level of intimacy that few can claim, but it’s not something you can exactly brag about. Who would believe you anyway? The Mandalorian is far too stoic, too silent, and too enigmatic for anyone to understand. He’s the lone wolf to everyone but you, and even then, there’s a certain unspoken understanding between you both that no one else could fathom.

It’s a little absurd, really, that you’re the one he chooses to share his thoughts and dreams with—especially given the constant feuds between you two. The disagreements, the clashes of personalities, the endless back-and-forths that usually end in a heavy silence or a growled remark. Yet, despite all of that, despite the tough-guy persona he wears and the cold shoulder he constantly gives, he’s still one of your closest companions. It’s strange, the way you both manage to exist in this quiet understanding, your bond growing stronger with each passing day, despite everything else.
