Bond (Kylo Ren x Rey)

Belong

Twisting her body at an acute angle, Rey managed to avoid being slashed in two. She retaliated with a swipe to his legs with her staff, which he was able to block.

Kylo was tired of wasting time. Mustering all of his strength, he used he Force to pin her to the wall behind her.

"Let me go, you coward," she spat.

Kylo strode forward decreasing the space between them. Rey was so close that her struggling breaths were making strands of his dark hair drift as if in a violent breeze. Looking down on her small, muscular frame squirming against an invisible grip, his mouth contorted into a grim frown.

"I offered you the entire galaxy, and you repay me by ambushing and attacking me?"

Rey's eyes were avoiding his, so Kylo jerked her chin up at him with a gloved hand. Finally looking into his eyes, she took a deep breath.
——
She couldn't lie to him. As much as he grated her nerves, Rey couldn't do it.

"You know why I didn't accept you. The dark is not my place, nor yours, Ben."

His stone-hard eyes seemed to blur around the edges as she uttered the long forgotten name.

She continued warily, "You belong in the light. For you to reject me, to resist me, it made me angry. It made me lash out. That is not the Jedi way."

It was the closest Rey's stubborn heart could get to an apology.

The Force holding her wavered in response, but not enough to set her free. Kylo's eyes darkened again.

"You're wrong. This is where I belong. I am Supreme Leader of the First Order. I don't need anyone to tell me where to belong, especially you, scavenger," he growled, lacing his voice with menace.

He turned his back to her and paced in short, angry steps. Kylo seemed almost like a child throwing a temper tantrum, she thought with a surprising giggle rising to her throat.

Whipping around at the sound of her laugh, his face turned murderous. In seconds he was inches from her face. Rey could feel his breath on her cheeks as his eyes seared into hers. His dark hair was in careless tangles around his face. Lifting her chin in defiance of the imposing man in front of her, she calmly spoke.

"You won't hurt me."

Kylo blinked in surprise at the meaning of her words. The confidence with which she spoke them.

Then he was gone.

Rey fell to her knees as the Force keeping her to the wall suddenly disappeared. She let her hands fall limply to the floor as she took a few deep breaths.

The memory of his face right before he left her was imprinted on her brain. His features had been contorted with confusion, boiling anger, and something else: realization.
