A Different Love

Injured

"How'd your date with new boy go last night?" Phasma asked after he walked into biology. Good thing Kylo wasn't in his bio class or else he would have over heard Phasma's snide comments. "It was not a date. We just hung out, that's all," Hux retorted.

"Riiiight." She said teasingly. Hux glared at his textbook. Was Phasma actually making fun of his sexuality? If so, it wasn't funny.

*Bell rings*

Finally. The day was over. He had not seen Kylo almost at all that day. He seemed distressed in his classes and didn't come to lunch. Hux felt worried.

About half way to his house, Hux heard some scuffling and cussing in the alley across from him. Then there was a thud and groan. He ran into the alley and there was about four older looking boys standing over a curled up figure wearing a black jacket. Kylo's jacket.

Hux ran up to him just as the boys ran away. "Kylo.." He whispered to the figure. He groaned and say up. Hux gasped. There was a deep scar running from his right eye to the bottom of his face.

"We need to get you home now," Hux insisted, pulling Kylo up. "Can't go home," he said simply.

"Fine. Then we'll go to my house," Hux said letting Kylo wrap an arm around him.

They arrived at Hux's house in a rush. He ran to get the first aid kit and sat down beside Kylo on the couch. "What happened to you?!" Hux asked frantically. "There was a gang.... They started making fun of me... They had a knife-" Hux cut Kylo off. Those idiots had almost killed his friend.

Hux finished wrapping some gauze around Ren's face. "There," Hux said satisfied. "Kylo?" He asked. "Yeah?"

"Why don't you want to go home?" "My parents. They are never home and keep insisting I go to the college my dad went to. But Snoke wants me to do something else. We had a big fight last night and..." Kylo trailed off.

"I'm sorry. You should be able to decide on your own life," Hux reassured him.

"Thanks Hux."
