Space Cupcakes ⇢ Kylux au

[28]

Today was it. Today was the day that Kylo would drive from his home, and meet up with Hux and Phasma for the first time ever. He felt excited and sick. Very sick.

"Kylo are you ready yet?!" Rey called from downstairs.

Finn, Poe and herself had been waiting by the door for half an hour with their bags, all ready to leave. They were all waiting for Kylo who, they were surprised to see, was the last one to be ready and was still getting ready. Well, if by getting ready you mean rocking back and forth on his bed.

"He's never coming down," Poe was getting impatient, while Finn did his best to calm him down.

"I'll get him..." Rey left her bag and ran upstairs, turning to walk into Kylo's room. He was all ready, his bag packed and his clothes on. "Kylo, what are you doing? We need to go now if you want to get there in time. You were the one who insisted we left early. It's nine AM we need to go!" She sat on his bed and put a hand on his head. "Kylo, if you don't want to go we don't have to..."

"Of course I want to go, I'm just... afraid. What if he rejects me?" He finally sat up and looked at Rey.

"He won't. Why would anyone reject someone like you, hmm?" Rey smiled and helped him up. "Come on then! Do you wanna see your boyfriend or not?!" She smirked and sprinted downstairs.

"He's not my boyfriend yet!!" Kylo sprang up, suddenly more excited, and ran after her, with his bag in hand.

After five minutes of saying goodbye to his parents, Kylo and the others got in the car, with Poe driving (he was the only one who could drive remotely sensibility). Finn was next to Poe in the front and Kylo and Rey sat in the back. This would be the longest hour of Kylo's life.

Half an hour later, they got stuck in horrendous traffic, which caused Kylo to start twitching and shouting in the back. Rey slapped him, so he shut up. Poe and Finn ended up playing eye spy together and after a while, everyone joined in.

Phasma and Hux were both up getting ready to leave and start work. Phasma was unusually excited, which worried Hux. He decided to ignore the thought. Today their shifts would be easy - people rarely came in on Fridays.

"We've got a couple of orders people are coming to pick up. I'll sort them out, you serve anyone that comes in." Phasma pulled on her tank top and skinny jeans.

"I know the drill." Hux was also dressed in skinny jeans with a plain white shirt. "That is if anyone decides to come in. I'll serve our friendly Friday ghost."

"You never know, Hux." She smiled and threw his comb at him from across the living room.

"Whatever." He combed his hair back, leaving it in it's usual neat state.

Phasma and Hux then left their apartment and walked down the stairs, both wearing stylish sunglasses. The sun was out today, brighter than yesterday, and lit up the whole town. Despite Phasma's height on Hux, they always held hands on the way to the cupcake cafe. They were close friends, Phasma very protective of Hux.

After about five minutes of walking, the two reached the First Order and walked inside. They both proceeded to set up shop, Hux being the neat freak he is, cleaning every table. It was a small establishment, cute if you like, with a glass case showing the cupcakes they had on offer just next to the till. There were ten tables around the eating area, most for two people, some for larger groups. The two pulled their aprons on and flipped the sign from 'closed' to 'open'.

At 10:45 am, the others finally made it into the town and parked in the center car park. They all got out and waited while Poe paid for parking. Kylo was practically jumping up and down with excitement.
