Fools • Reylo AU {ON HOLD}

Chapter 6 • Fools

A/N: chapter and title inspired by "Fools" by Troye Sivan. I fully intend on making this story a slow burn but there's some sort of reylo cuteness in this chapter <3

"Where are we going?"

"Keep your voice low, I don't need your whole neighborhood to know we are out here."

"Is this better?" Rey asked lowering her voice to a hushed whisper.

"Sure." He replied almost absentmindedly.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Just making sure we are in the right place."

Rey froze in her tracks, crossing her arms tight against her chest.

"What do you mean 'making sure'? I'm not here to get lost because of the likes of you."

"I'm just double checking, it's always good to make sure."

"Uh huh."

"Well are you coming or not?"

Reluctantly she let her arms fall to her sides before following him down the path.

"Would you mind telling me yet?"

"No."

She couldn't see his face due to it being almost pitch black outside, but Rey didn't have to look at him to know he was smirking.

"Why not?"

"Because."

"Because why not?"

"I don't want to ruin the surprise."

Rey soon stopped asking questions. The duo continued to walk farther on, choosing to remain in silence. Like there was anything to talk about anyway.

"We are here."

His voice had come out hoarse. Quiet, and barely a whisper.

"I see."

Rey stepped forward, eyes scanning the horizon.

"Where are we?"

"A place."

"Yeah like that's totally not too vague."

"I like to be mysterious."

Ren let out a small laugh before throwing something onto the ground.

"What was that?"

He choose not to answer, instead letting his back face her. She watched as Ren pulled out what looked to be a blanket from out the bad. He placed it carefully on the ground. Ren faced her.

"Lesson 2 is about to begin."

She didn't move, frozen in her place.

"Come over here. Sit."

He beckoned her over, eyes smiling. Rey walked over slowly, sitting on the blanket. She distanced herself from him, choosing to sit at the edge farther from him.
