Reteach Me | Kylo Ren x Reader

Chapter Nine | Change of Hearts

Back at home you and Griffin sat at the dinner table discussing what had transpired earlier that day. The first five minutes of the conversation Griffin spent crying, Kylo Ren terrified the poor boy. He had always been under the impression that Kylo Ren was a bad guy that killed innocent people for no good reason, and if he ever ended up on the base with him then there was going to be trouble. He asked you over and over again why Kylo Ren was here and why he got so close to him but you had no answers for him. The best explanation you could give him was Kylo Ren was only coming for a visit and he had scared him off by hitting him.

As you made him a small sandwich for lunch you hoped Kylo was going to make good on his promise to you, you never wanted to see him again after today. You did feel bad that Griffin hit him, you felt like it was a terrible reflection on you as Griffin's mother. But Kylo deserved it, the way he came into your house and spoke to you like you were his personal property. Just thinking back on it made you angry.

"And if Kylo Ren comes back again and says 'my son' to me again I'm gonna kick his butt!" Griffin triumphantly held his sandwich high in the air, looking at you and smiling adorably. Your son was so precious, it was like he knew what Kylo had done to you before he was born. He seemed to want vengeance on the man, he just hated Kylo Ren.

"Now, now, Griffin. Remember what we talked about a few weeks ago, about bullying?" You just hated to see Kylo's own son hate him and talk about wanting to hurt him. You hated Kylo, but seeing his miracle baby boy talk down about him and seeing him punch him in the face just hurt you so much. "When you bully bullies, you become the bully." Griffin recited it perfectly, and when he realized what the saying meant in this situation he looked very down. "Mommy, am I being a bully to Kylo Ren?" He asked, sounding sincerely lost and confused. "I hate to say it bud, but yes. You keep saying you're going to beat him up, that's something only bullies do to people."

His lower lip popped out and it quivered, he was obviously very upset about what he had done to his father. "I'm sorry mommy, I didn't mean to be a bully to Kylo Ren." He apologized, then took another bite of his sandwich, chewing and looking up at you for guidance. "It's alright, dude. Just don't let it happen again, okay?"

As if right on cue the front door burst open, any harder and you would have thought the door had flown off of its hinges. You turned around, Finn was running toward the two of you as if his life depended on getting to the table as quick as he could. "Daddy!" Griffin shouted, smiling brightly. "Oh, thank god. Thank god you guys are alright!" He picked Griffin up as quick as he could then wrapped his arm around you and kissed the top of your head. "They told me he came here! Did he come here? Did he touch you guys? Did he hurt you?" Finn was filled with questions, all you could do was smile softly and nod your head once or twice.

"He hurt you?!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, causing Griffin to flinch and cover his ears. "No, he didn't hurt us. We're just fine." Finn exhaled, the look of relief that rested on his face was to die for. He set Griffin down and took a seat at the table. "So he was here? And he talked to you and to-"

"Daddy, I'm sorry I was a bully to Kylo Ren." Griffin cut into the conversation between you and Finn. "How did you bully Kylo Ren, Griffin?" Finn said looking puzzled. As if the conversation you had with Griffin went in one ear and out the other, Griffin got himself into a fighting position and shouted: "I PUNCHED HIM RIGHT IN HIS FACE!" He punched the air out in front of him, Finn laughed and laughed at him. "That's my boy!" Finn said, rubbing Griffin's hair as he stood there looking smug. You shook your head, internally hating Finn for how he goes against your parenting techniques every once and while.

Kylo probably spent a solid hour crying softly in his Command Shuttle's bed room. He couldn't believe his own child could treat him that way. He knew it wasn't his son's, Griffin's, fault. The child had been taught to hate him probably from the day he was born, especially if it was being partially parented by an ex-storm trooper. Kylo sighed, then continued to weep on his bed. Why did Y/n let this happen? Out of everyone she could have chosen to raise a child with she chose one of his own men that escaped the First Order. He knew that man would take every opportunity to let Griffin know what horrible things Kylo had done to both him and y/n. All Kylo wanted was a good relationship with his son, something in this dynamic had to change.
