Wedge isn't sure if it's the obvious age gap between themβwhich grows more obvious by the secondβbut the protectiveness he's always had for Luke as his wingmate takes on a different angle. He's always felt as close to Luke as brothers, but now the difference in age makes it even more so.
Big brother protecting his little brother. Which sounds cliche, something that Wedge avoids as much as possible, but it is the truth.
"I'm sorry." Against instinct, Wedge stops himself from pulling away. That's probably the worst thing he could do right this moment. He's not exactly sure why his words hit Luke as hard as they have. His brows furrow in confusion for a flash of a second, then settle back into impassivity.
"Do you want a glass of water? Or maybe I can go get you something to eat?" Something more flavorful than protein soup, for sure. People around owe him favors. Maybe calling in some to get some broth and bread would do Luke some good.
