If it happens at all , I ' m anticipating because Ben will turn back to the light and eventually they ' ll fall in love but since that ' s super predictable , I don ' t want them to pair up . I ' d like it if they were family . Family love instead of romance . From what I ' ve seen , the support for the pairing besides drawing parallels with other stories is really thin . People cite sexual tension when Kylo is probing Rey ' s mind , saying that he looks lovingly at her when she uses the force to get Anakin ' s lightsaber , etc . Seems like a little grasping at straws because some people seem to crave that conflict between two romantically involved characters . Only thing is , it isn ' t like Leia and Han , because Kylo is a murderer , not a scoundrel . And Rey is too strong to allow herself to be with a man who stabbed Hana man she looked up to immensely . I ' m getting a little off topic here , so really in short , people are expecting a turn to the light from Kylo , or if they aren ' t , they just want scandalous , destructive , conflictdriven smut for their fanfic and that ' s fine . As long as they aren ' t related , this pairing wouldn ' t surprise me as long as Kylo turns back to Ben .
