You had followed Hux to the bridge, per his request and after getting your old uniform on, it felt slightly wrong. You found yourself missing the flowing tunic and pants from the Resistance, the restrictive clothing of your First Order uniform making you anxious. Your sudden claustrophobia was unnoticed by Hux, but your presence was not by the rest of those in the bridge. They looked between you two curiously, some even whispering to each other as you stood by the door. Hux moved to the front of the room, and you stayed behind. Kylo moved from his place at the front of the room after a brief conversation with the general that had Hux looking at you, and then nodding.
You followed without being told to as Kylo moved down the halls toward the hangar, taking three quick steps for every one of his long strides. He suddenly pulled off, heading toward an empty conference room. Kylo ushered you into the room, and to your surprise didn't remove his mask. You didn't question it as he began to speak. "I fear we are both about to be tested." He spoke, his modulated voice so strange to your ears.
"So it's going to happen today." You supplied to which he didn't respond, the silence expanse of his mask the only thing you had to go on. You then understood why he kept the mask on. The war must be tearing him apart.
"Have you told him?" He asked, changing the subject. You furrowed a brow in confusion. "Have you told Hux, that you are force sensitive?" He corrected, and you shook your head violently.
"I don't want to, I have no idea how he would react." You replied, sitting on the conference room table.
"That is why he is confused then." Kylo responded, looking to the side. You jumped up from the table, staring angrily into the visor that stood in place of his eyes.
"What did you tell him." You ground out, fists clenching at your sides. The chair next to you pushed away from you slightly and both of your eyes were drawn to it.
"You need more training. You have outgrown what I have taught you." He said tiredly. "I suppose that is why the Supreme Leader wishes to meet with you, personally." He spoke quietly, answering both your previous question and the new ones sprouting in your mind.
"Kylo, I can't meet with him." You said nervously, to which Kylo tilted his head. "What if he reads my mind, he will see..." You trailed off, not really wanting to talk about your sex life with the Sith.
"You will fear that the Supreme Leader will see you and Hux...committing treason." He phrased carefully, and you flushed scarlet.
"I can't even keep you from my mind, how will I ever keep the Supreme Leader out!" You groaned exasperatedly. You couldn't see his eyes, but you knew he was looking at you almost hurt. You didn't know which of the two men was more powerful, but one was the Supreme Leader, and one was Kylo Ren.
"If it makes you feel any better, I didn't get that from you." You blushed again and looked up at him with doe eyes. "I fear for any other force user that passes Hux, he has basically been projecting it since he walked onto the bridge." You blushed but grinned, hiding your face as you let yourself laugh at both the discomfort being shown by Ren and the juvenile way that Hux was thinking of you. "I wouldn't worry much about him finding out. The Supreme Leader will most likely not be interested in your intimate life with the general. He may be a powerful man, but he is not exactly the most observant." Kylo mused, as if lost in space.
The sudden shaking of the ship had you both of you snapping out of your trances, and then looking at each other. "It's Poe." You spoke as you felt the signature fly by you. Kylo nodded, corroborating your feelings and then he moved to the door.
He turned when he reached it, speaking over his shoulder as his hand hovered over the access panel. "I suggest you wait here until the Supreme Leader calls for you." He said, and you could almost feel the small smirk in his words. "I don't believe the general would be very happy to see you rooting for the enemy." He said, walking from the room. You started, touching your hand to your face and frowning when you felt the wide smile on your lips.
