"Hurry up guys! I'm not going to wait any longer," Phasma shouted out of the car. They hadn't even started driving and she was already complaining. Hux and Kylo were finally ready after what seemed like months and months of discussing plans which Phasma felt was all unnecessary for the moment. They scrambled into the back of the car, Hux laughing when Kylo got stuck. The air was clear today and sweet. Hux smiled as they left the parking area, latching his hand onto Kylo's.
"Finally, you guys took forever. What were you doing up there? Or do I need to ask," Phasma asked suggestively with a roll of the eyes.
"Hey! We were not doing anything like that, Phas," Hux defended himself, although he knew Phasma wouldn't believe him. Kylo laughed and gave Hux a wink, causing the smaller ginger to hit his arm.
"I still can't believe what you said about your birthday, gingerbread. Don't you tell me things like that again, okay?" Kylo put an arm around Hux in saying this, almost protectively. His large arm fit perfectly in the curve of Hux's shoulders making him smile.
"I know I know, I'm sorry. I won't say things like that again," Hux sighed, glad he was able to finally share the information with someone he loved.
"You may not believe that, Kylo. I'm in disbelief that it took a young guy from Tumblr for him to reveal his birthday," Phasma laughed, still putting all her focus on the road ahead of her. "Actually, it sort of makes sense now that I think about it."
"I would have done eventually," Hux pointed out.
"I doubt it," Phasma said.
After that, nothing much more was said in the car. Phasma turned some music on and focused on driving, not wanting to have any accidents. Hux turned to face Kylo, his fingers moving to trace patterns on his chest. He then whispered in a soft tone, "I'm tired, Ky. I might fall asleep."
"Go for it," Kylo smiled down at Hux, letting his head rest against his shoulder while his arm cushioned his head. Kylo thought he looked so adorable laying by his side, it was all he needed to smile. The two remained like this for the rest of the journey, Kylo falling asleep eventually, his head resting next to Hux's.

Kylo was woken abruptly by the sound of Phasma's voice. They had just arrived at his parent's house.
"Phasma, why'd you wake me up?" Kylo groaned attempting to sit up.
"We're here, come on. You need to pack your stuff up, and I'm certain your parents will want to see you and Hux."
"Alright," Kylo replied, stretching his legs out as much as he could. He turned to see Hux, surprisingly still asleep. Kylo smiled and tried to wake him up as quietly as possible. "Hux? We're here." He shook him very slightly, trying to get him up.
Hux's eyes opened as Kylo shook him. He let out a small yawn as he stretched his arms, eyes blinking. "Kylo? Are we here already?"
"Yes, you fell asleep remember?" Kylo grinned and took Hux's hand, helping him get out of the car.
"I remember, yes. I can help you pack if you'd like."
"That would be great, you need to meet my parents first."
Hux nodded and the two made their way to the front door of Kylo's parents' house, which was already wide open. The others had arrived earlier and Phasma was already inside.
"Ben? Ben!" Leia smiled and walked outside, wrapping her arms around Kylo. Kylo chuckled and returned the warm hug.
"Hey mom, how are you?"
"I'm fine, but that's not important," she turned to face Hux and moved to give him a hug. Hux's eyes widened and he looked over to Kylo who just shrugged and continued to laugh to himself. She pulled away and took a step back to look at Hux. "Hello, you must be Hux, it's lovely to meet you honey."
"The pleasure is mine, Mrs Solo." Hux smiled and felt his cheeks go ever so slightly pink.
"Call me Leia, dear. Do you two wanna come inside? I can get you a drink of something?"
"Sure that'd be great mom," Kylo responded, taking Hux's hand in his. "I guess she approves of you huh?" He whispered once Leia had walked inside.
"I hope so," Hux beamed as they both walked inside.
