Coffee Just for Him (Kylux AU !)

.05.

Ben slowly makes his way off of his bed. It was a long night of thinking, thinking about him. Ben just can't wrap his mind around the idea on why he cares so much about Hux's boyfriend. He's been friends with him only for a few weeks. He's acting as if he is in love with him. It wasn't love though, that is what Ben is sure of. He just knows that he rarely comes across someone that strikes an interest to him. He never actually like- likes someone that often. Hux is one of the very very few that caught his interest. That like-like interest. And he had a boyfriend. Not just any ordinary boyfriend but one with charming features and a charming personality. He almost seems arrogant to Ben. He could just push that Poe down some stairs.

"Hurry up, we have to go." Finn yells out in the hall to Ben. He tosses aside his duvet and slaps on some clothes. Grabbing his backpack, he exits his room to see Finn doing the same. The two climb into Finn's car and make their way to school.

"I think I might just skip today." Ben mumbles. Finn looks at him for a second and looks back to the road.

"Is this about Hux?" Ben scoffs and sinks more into his seat. Finn shakes his head and pulls into the parking lot. "You have to go to class. You missed all of last week so you can go hang out with him. Exams are coming up."

"I know, I know. Fine, let's go." He huffs out. They walk into campus and quickly find their English class they share. They both were so thankful they share at least one class. The two make their way to the back of the room and sit together. Finn takes out his laptop and notebook while Ben didn't even bother. Class was going by so slowly. Fortunately, Ben's phone goes off indicating a text message. He smiles and it soon turns into a frown. It's from Hux.

Hux: what happened yesterday? You left in such a hurry did I do something wrong?

Ben sighs and quickly types a message back.

Ben: nothing is wrong

Hux: oh come on something is off. Ben fucking whatever your last name is tell me

Ben: it's Solo and nothing is up

Ben waits for a few seconds and there is no reply. Everybody begins to get up leaving the class. Finn packs his bag and leaves too. Ben follows him out back to his car.

"So, you wanna go back home or go somewhere? My next class isn't until three." Finn suggests. Ben nods while buckling his seatbelt.

"Can we go to the coffee shop?" Finn smirks and drives off to there. Once they got there he stops the car in front of the shop.

"I'll drop you off while I find a parking space." He leaves the car to make his way to the shop. He sighs deeply before entering.

"Ben?" He looks up to see a confused Hux. He makes his way to the smaller man and sheepishly smiles to him.

"Hey-"

"What's wrong?" Hux hangs up his apron and takes his hand. He guides him to a table, the two sit down.

"I'm sorry. My friend wanted me home and-and I don't know."

"Oh, come on. Ben, I may have only known you for a while but damn you're pretty easy to read. Something is up and you're not telling me. Shit. Is it because I invited my boyfriend? You thought he was my friend at first. You were a third wheel! Why didn't you tell me?" Ben blushes. If only that was it. Well, it's partially true. He decides to take that. It sounds way better than 'Hux, I like you a lot and I got jealous'.

"I know it's stupid. It's just being the third wheel kinda sucks. I should've told you." Hux nods now understanding. Ben cheers inside. Those acting classes really paid off. Maybe he should really consider again actually being a professional actor.

"It's fine. Sorry for kind of overreacting. You're my friend and I just got worried I said something wrong." Finn walks in and sits next to Ben. He smirks at the two.

"O-oh, this is my friend Finn." Hux shyly waves to him.

"So, this is the amazing Hux Ben never shuts the hell up about. Fantastic." Ben kicks Finn's shin and he howls in pain.

"I fucking hate you." He mumbles to him. "Hux, what are you planning to do today?"

"Poe is going to pick me up and we're going out. Probably to a book store or something." He blushes as he says Poe's name.

"Poe? Poe Dameron?" Finn asks. What's the difference, either way Ben hates him. Why does Finn keep asking?

"Yeah! Do you know him?" Now, Finn blushes. A wide smile forms on his lips. Ben has never seen him like this.

"I have a class with him. I talk to him a lot." Finn never mentioned this. He always talks to him? Since when? And if they talk a lot how come Ben never heard about him from Finn?

"You're Finn! Poe talks about you quite often. Small world, huh?"

"It sure is." Ben mumbles and glares at Finn.
