The Revenge Of The Scroll

Chapter 10: Contentment

As I fluttered my eyes, I felt a cool breeze on my shoulders. I felt, in a long while, relaxed. I could feel cold fingers along my side. I turned and saw Ren sleeping there, peaceful.

Did I?

I looked down and saw I was unclothed. Only a wool blanket covering myself. I jerked myself up, startled. But as the memories from the night before came flooding back, my head rested itself back on the pillow. I felt content and Ren obviously was too. As I scooted myself closer to him, I could feel the warmth of his skin pressing against mine. I put my hand on his chest, our breathing quickly came in rhythm. Back into a contented sleep, I fell.

Kylo Ren

I woke up to a slight movement of the bed. Thinking it was me then I felt a soft and warm palm on my chest. I looked at the palm and followed who it belonged to. As I locked eyes with her close ones, I felt something I never experience. I felt content. Never before in my lifetime have I felt more content that. I did at that moment. I realized that she had pressed her warm body against my cold body. I stayed awake until she has awoken.

Kahs

I could sense that he was awake. I was nervous. How was I going to play this, I thought. Just then, I felt the cold fingers moving up and down my side. I opened my eyes to see his eyes looking at me. He wasn't smiling nor was he frowning. He looked. Content.

"Hey." His raspy voice filled the quiet, cool, peaceful room.

A contented smile swept across my face. "So. How are we going to do this? I mean, once I step out of those doors, I'm vulnerable. Its inevitable." He did nothing. He merely pushed himself out of bed. My eyes trailed down his back to see battle scars, bruises. He slipped his suit attire.

"Here," dropping a stack of fresh clothes on the foot of the bed, "Change. I will be back. Don't move."

"Yes Sir." I got out of bed with only a sheet wrapping my intimate parts. He stepped out of the door, leaving me alone in his chamber. As I scanned the room, I plopped on the bed and exhaled in contentment.

I can't believe I just. Everything makes sense. He makes sense. Yes, he is a monster and he will always be a monster. But I'm okay with that. After all, it's temporary. I'll be gone soon.

I didn't know when soon was but all I knew was I needed Ren to trust me. As I changed, I stepped out and followed two Stormtroopers waiting for my coming out.

"Can't catch a break, can't I?"

They remained silent. As we marched to a door, I told them, "This isn't my room."

"Yes it is." A robotic voice came from one of the troopers. As I looked confused, the doors opened and it was dimly lit. As I willingly step in, the door closed automatically.

What did I get myself into this time?

I scanned the four corners and found a bed, a shower, and several piles of clean clothes. A flickering light was temporarily lighting the room. I could see a casted over shadow in one corner by the bed.
