Saved by the Dark

Pt. 12

It was late, so Kylo just took Aalya into his room for the night. He was tired as well. Aalya was placed on the bed as Kylo went into the refresher.

He removed his upper clothing and looked at the worn bandage. Kylo winced a little as he removed the bandage. The wound was a mess from the blood, but the wound was sewn shut. A hissing sound came from his mouth as he applied the bacta sab, then put a brand new bandage on it. Kylo then changed into his night clothes which consisted of a tank top and lounge pants.

Before Kylo got into bed, Aalya awoke. At first she wasn't sure where she was until she frantically looked at her surroundings. Kylo walked out of the refresher as Aalya closed her eye's and ''pretended'' to sleep.

Kylo could hear her loud, frantic mind. He laid down on the bed with her. Kylo sighed. ''I know you're awake....calm down, I was too tired to take you to your room,'' he said as he turned the opposite way. Aalya could see that Kylo was trying to be nice. After all, he was her master. In a way, it was his responsibility to look after her.

She turned onto her side to see his back. Aalya could sense that Kylo was still awake and his shoulder pain wouldn't let up. ''So....how's your shoulder?'' she stupidly asked. Kylo replied with a quick ''fine.'' Aalya moved closer next to him and placed her hand on the back of his shoulder. A soothing warmth radiated through his body that dulled the pain and relaxed his whole body.

Aalya had no idea what she just did. Did she kill him?! She pulled him onto his back and found him in a deep sleep. He looked so peaceful as he slept, innocent too. Some of his hair had fallen in his face. Her hand gently cleared it then slowly raked through his scalp. It must of felt good, because a smile appeared on Kylo's face.

Whatever she did must of relaxed his mind too. He was having no nightmares or chaos. She watched him awhile as he slept. This was probably the first good sleep he had in ages!

The next morning, Aalya woke up feeling better than ever. She noticed in the night, she had moved very, very close to Kylo in the night. There was also some kind of aura Aalya was projecting. It kept them both covered. This ''new'' thing must of been good because Kylo had a small smile and she could now see that some color returned to his pale face.

She liked looking at him without that mask. In her opinion, he didn't need it, he was far from monstrous. He probably the best looking guy on the ship, definitely the best she had ever seen. ''Am I now?'' Kylo suddenly said with closed eyes.

Force sensitivity slipped her mind for a second. Kylo opened his eye's and looked at her. They both locked eyes for a bit. The aura she was projecting was slowly rejuvenating them both. Her fatigue from the day before was fully healed. She saw Kylo's bandage and slowly reached at it and slowly removed it. The wound was healing right before her eyes and the warmth was removing his pain and calming his nerves.

He hadn't felt this great in a long time. No anger, torment from the past, or whatever wanted to curse him that day. Kylo slowly grabbed both of her hands. ''Now do you see why you were seeked out and so special?'' he asked softly. As she nodded slowly, he leaned in as they both locked lips.
