Bound to you {Reylo}

-2-

BEN:

I feel her. She's near, Rey is fighting the tension but not at her best. She is fighting but not resisting. She feels as if she's not strong enough to face me. But she's done it once before, when she came to help me. When we killed Snoke, then only leaving me thereafter. With our connection, it's hard to know wrong from right. But for the absence of any truth, she's right. We are right. And together, we could only rule the galaxy. Also, doing so much more. If she could only accept the truth.

Light shines through the tiny window I have. Gold, warmth and freedom overcome me.

"Sir, we found the scavenger in a trashed freighter."

"Phasma, leave us," As Phasma leaves, I see the beautiful figure staring at me with not one look of fear in her eyes. She's cold, distant, as she should be. I want to say something but I can't, I'm frozen myself. She moves in a way that makes me flinch. But I don't. Instead of flinching I watch her move real close to me. I drink in her smell and her fearlessness. She's strong with the force. How can I ever get her to rule with me. But I am broken and determined. I must force her to understand the pride of being at my side. She will understand, in time. I also must form some patience myself for this to work. And if it does, she will rule with me and be my queen of darkness. If she doesn't I have no reason to keep this going in my own hell. I'd have to break it all up, and shut it all down. I'd have to die. "Rey, what is it?"

"I wanted to come and see you. After Snoke-" She says and I cut her off

"I don't want to talk about that night with Snoke. It's irrelevant."

"Irrelevant? How is this irrelevant. We fought for our lives together; as one Kylo. How am I supposed to ignore that?"

"Don't call me that. You know my true self."

"That's true, but you don't." She backs away as if once she opened her mouth I'd lash out; I didn't.

"What?"

"Ben, can't you finally see that you are starting to belong where your heart truly lies, where your mother sees you fit and knows that you belong there. Where I see you in the days to come? Ben, come with me. Come home, not only to your mother but to family who sees the truth of yourself." She's trying to make me turn, once again.

"That's why you're here? To- to show me the ways of the force? LOOK AT ME, WHERE WE ARE, YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THE WAYS OF THE FORCE?" I start to raise my voice, Rey, the lovely Rey doesn't flinch one bit. She stays calm. I can sense the conflict in her. She closes her eyes and reaches for my hand. Knowing, myself that I will end up and take it, I softly place my hand in hers feeling calm myself once I'm one and the same, her hand and mine. I see a vision. A vision that possesses me into my former self.

My mother welcoming me into her arms, one single tear straying from her face. Rey smiling as she holds her own tears back, knowing that saved a helpless soul. Life, calm as it would've been in the past when I consisted of only light and the teachings of Skywalker. As I then walk into a room hand in hand with a happy Rey, kissing my cheek and myself, turning it into something else. Something deeper, stronger, nothing and no one touching us, bothering us. Pulling each other out of our own heads and meeting in the middle.

Then pulling myself away from all of that, having no clue what happened and how Rey could show me something like that.

"That is your future. If only you let it be." Letting go of my hand, she takes a step back and just looks at me.

"You can't change the past. What was done, can't be undone with one touch of a hand. You think you've learned everything being with Skywalker. You haven't, one thing that you still need to learn is thinking harder about what needs to be done and then seeing for yourself if the other person is capable of accepting the future fate." I say, taking her hand in mine for a change. She doesn't let go.

"And until then, where do I sleep?"
