A Dark Marriage. (Kylo Ren X Reader)

Chapter 4. Fix What is Broken

Woo! Chapter 4 so soon! Enjoy, my lovelies! Warning: This Chapter may cause massive feels and hysteria.

The tension in the room was thicker than pound cake.

"Fine." He repeated, this time almost at a whisper. His whole torso was quivering, his hands reached up. They shook with such a ferocity you feared they'd fly off. You bit your lip and immediately felt regret. Something about him showing his face to you was terrifying to him. You wanted to tell him to stop, but curiosity wouldn't let you. His hands went underneath his mask and it slowly lifted. 

Black curls began to fall to his shoulders, his face slowly came into view. You blinked and the mask was off. Dark eyes stared at you with a furious intensity, atop full lips turned in a hard frown and a long slender nose. After the original shock at his youthful face, you noticed a long scar stretching from his upper left cheek, in between his left eye and nose, and through his forehead. It had clearly healed, but still was pink and the skin puckered.

He is... beautiful

By the expression on his face you knew he had read your thoughts.

"How could you- I- WHAT!?" He turned away from you shielding his face. "I am not, I am a monster." When the word monster left his lips you heard a sob. You stepped forward and put a hand on his shoulder.

Beautiful, radiant, youthful, gorg-

"STOP YOUR LYING THOUGHTS!" He screamed and threw your hand away from him. You now knew why Kylo Ren was so cryptic, so mysterious, he had so much conflict in him. 

"I'm sorry, please stop, I'm sorry." You reached out to comfort him. He turned to look at you again, now with tears in his eyes. You cupped his unscarred cheek in your hand, your other hand reaching to his arm. "But... Kylo," You said his name for the first time out loud, "you are beautiful." His eyes widened and tears fell. 

"How could you think something so ugly and maimed is beautiful?" With that one sentence your heart broke for him. You regained your posture and realized there was no way you could explain this with words. 

"You can see into my mind, hear my thoughts. So if I show you something, will you see it the way I do?" He nodded and you made eye contact with him as he watched himself through your eyes. He saw the beauty you saw in his face. Even his scar showed you what he had been through, that he had seen war, and lived through it. His survival was beautiful. His tears dried up and he looked at the ground.

"Thank you, (Y/N)." He stepped back from you and your hands fell to your sides. "I need some time to myself." He quickly turned away and walked to his private room. 

You sat on the bed, breathing heavily after the events that had just occurred. 

He is a broken man. I am marrying a broken man.

You stared at the closed bathroom door and looked at Kylo's mask where it had been discarded on the floor. You gripped the side of the bed in your fists, and one question echoed through your head.

Can I put him back together?

I'm sorry if this made you cry. Hell knows I did.
