Interrogating Hux , General Hux x Reader

Part 5 - uncovered

HUX: [Forwarded Message] UNAMO: General I have a matter I urgently need to speak to you about of the utmost importance.

HUX: [Forwarded Message] HUX: Unamo, meet me in my personal quarters 1600.

Fuck. I reread her message. She knew, somehow she knew. I tried to tell myself that maybe she wanted to confront him for sleeping with a junior officer but that just didn't make sense. Wouldn't she just go to someone else higher in the First Order hierarchy? I was still a little confused about who actually was at the top, but if there was someone higher than him, General Hux might get a telling off, but surely nothing more. And anyway, surely that wouldn't be a thing discuss with him? Kylo Ren was still thankfully off doing god knows what somewhere else and I personally doubted he had much interest in Hux's personal affairs.

I'd messaged Hux the morning she'd seen me leave his room but although he was annoyed at our (ok, my) lack of discretion he hadn't mentioned it further. I'd barely seen Unamo since, although I had a sense that was due to her choosing very carefully to keep out of my way.

She loved him, that much was clear from the way she looked at him, and me since I had arrived. To her I had always been a threat to a chance with a relationship with Hux. I had wondered if maybe there had been something between them once, but when I had suggested that maybe she had some feelings for him beyond loyalty he'd looked confused and said something about her being a 'very competent officer'. One could almost feel sorry for her, not exactly the words of a love struck man. Was he lying, as little as I knew of Hux I knew he didn't lie to save people's feelings, so I doubted it.

But none of that explained her message. That familiar ache started in my neck, the little twinge that suggested if I wasn't careful I might just be about to lose my head.

LOE: I'll be there

Armitage looked more stressed than usual when I arrived, I didn't try to touch him as he paced the room, arms characteristically clasped behind his back. There was nothing to say. The door intercom buzzed and we caught each other's eyes, mirroring the other's anxiety. Feeling sick with nerves, I walked into his bathroom and left the door open as he buzzed her in. Her walk was confident, and as always she was immaculate. Tall, slim with dark hair slicker than I could ever achieve. Would Hux have ever realised how she felt about him and made a move? From the outside they looked like the perfect power couple, the Leia and Han of the First Order.

"I'm sorry General for the intrusion but, well, something as come to my attention that I thought you should be made aware of as soon as possible" I peeked around the door, I could only see her back so I was hidden from view, but even from that angle I could sense her agitation. Her voice was nervous but excited, and she seemed to be clutching her datapad as if she wanted to thrust it under his nose.

"Continue" Hux stood by his window, outwardly calm.

"Sir, this is of a delicate nature but, well, I saw someone leave your room the other morning" she paused, probably embarrassed by referring to something of a possibly intimate nature regarding her superior officer.

"It was, she was a woman. It was Officer Loe but I noticed something at the time which troubled me.."

I know what had troubled her, I thought a little unkindly, that it had been me and not her been fucking her beloved General.

"I realised later that she looked exactly like the Resistance prisoner that you had captured when you escaped from the Rebel base. I'm sure you didn't see the resemblance, more focused on passing her to the interrogators to do their work at the time" she was speaking quickly now, her tone embarrassed, indicating she held Hux in no way to blame for his inattention to the physical features of a member of Rebel scum.
