The Balance - A Reylo Story

Chapter 17 : Stay Out of This Hux

Kylo opens his eyes and yawns. He suddenly feels something grab him tighter and snuggle deeper into him. He chuckles as he moves hair out of Rey's face. He gently removes her arms and lays her next to him. She groans, " Where are you going?" He laughs and speaks. "I will be back baby. I just have to go make sure I don't have any meetings today. I promise I will come right back." He leans down and gently kisses her on the forehead. Rey grabs the pillow Kylo was using and snuggles into it. He smiles and covers her back up. Kylo grabs his clothes and gets dressed for the day. Walking out the door of his quarters he turns to Rey still peacefully sleeping. He smiles to himself and softly closes the door allowing it to lock behind him. He turns around only to bump into General Hux. Kylo gets a little annoyed. "Watch where the fuck you are going Hux. Can I help you?" Hux steps in front of him and speaks. "Careful Ren. Do not let your personal interest get in the way of the orders from supreme leader Snoke. Again." Kylo stops in his tracks and glares at Hux. "I don't know what the flying fuck you are talking about Hux. You don't have any idea!" Hux keeps Kylo from getting around him. "Oh please. You aren't just fucking that scavenger. You fell in love with her. When Snoke finds out.." Kylo cuts him off by force choking him against the wall. He raises his voice, "You ever come near her or try to take her to Snoke I swear on my dead father who I killed myself that I will hunt you down and destroy you!" He lets go of Hux and he falls to the ground. Hux glares at Kylo and speaks after catching his breath. "Snoke is going to figure it out on his own. You won't be able to keep that part of your mind a secret. When he finds out he is going to kill her to only make you stronger. When he does, I'm going to laugh at how much it just tears you apart." Kylo ignites his lightsaber and screams, "I don't have time for this! I have very important things to do! Things that don't concern you! Leave me and Rey the hell alone or you wil fucking regret it! I'm joking about this shit Hux! Leave her alone!" Suddenly Kylo can sense it. Hux knows. His eyes grow wide and Hux speaks, "The light is pulling at you. Rey is actually making you want to turn back from the dark side. Oh this is so great. I can't wait for Snoke to discover it. You are so weak!" Kylo uses the force and throws Hux down the hallway. He turns around and walks away. Back in Kylo's room Rey lays back down and covers up more feeling sad. She heard everything.
