His Pet: Armitage Hux X Reader

Chapter 7 Killing Boredom

She laid in bed staring at the ceiling thinking about the General again for the hundredth time even though she didn't know his name. Not that there was much else to think of. All she could remember was coming to this ship and nothing else before that. She knew this place couldn't be a good place. And the man who endlessly called her a stupid creature and valuable goods, clearly wasn't a good man. But he was the only person she ever saw or could remember besides a few troopers and a strange black masked man but he was foggiest not even remembering his voice. Who he was and why she was there was a mystery. 

And to her annoyance she thought about how he had killed the trooper for her sake. His hand on her chin cold eyes taking her in. His gaze was cruel but always looked at her in such a way. As if he was confused by her and almost hungry. Like a snake. Sharp almost hypnotic pale blues eyes pulled her in demanding to be looked at. And his fiery bright red hair was incredibly interesting and probably normal in most people. It suited him. With that thought to her annoyance again she realised he was a handsome man. If he wasn't so horrible.

By now it had been weeks of loneliness and she stayed hugging the pillow on the bed staring at the wall. She didn't even think anything as she already had thought everything she could possibly have. She wished she could talk just so she could talk to herself but trying just hurt which made her feel powerless. The sound of the door opening made her tense and look over. To her surprise it was the General. 

She stared at him warily as he walked in and stopped in the middle of her room eyes scanning as if he was in a hurry. She quickly noticed that he seemed a bit awkward in behaviour which made her very uncomfortable. What on earth could make such a man tense? The thought spooked her. Straightening himself up he spoke voice filled with discomfort and feigned politeness, words to the point.

"What do you want?"

She blinked having no clue what he meant and simply stared confused like she hadn't heard him right. Slowly she repeated back unsure of what he could mean.

"Want?"

He didn't look at her eyes glancing out the window into space not enjoying being an errand boy. Repeating himself louder with more annoyance he made a face like it was an obvious question.

"What do you want? We can't have you killing yourself out of boredom."

Her mouth fell open a bit realizing what he meant as he stood there awaiting an answer. Something to kill the boredom? But why? Because Kylo Ren wanted her alive as he had said? She had never even seen this Kylo Ren that she apparently belonged to now save once. Maybe she really was just a pet at this point. But to his question she didn't have an answer. She had no idea what she wanted. Music? Something to watch? A game? She didn't know.

What was something that she couldn't grow tired of? Wracking her brain she realized this was very important as it would be all she had with her so it had to be good. After a few seconds of thinking she spoke quietly and shy not wanting to anger him and not used to being allowed to speak. The words fell out softly.

"Pencils. Paper." 

She said while carefully sitting up and bringing closer the pillow she was holding onto. He nodded saying nothing on her choice. 

"Very well." 

He looked back to her to speak formally and finally noticed the new dress she was wearing as she pulled up her sleeve so it didn't fall loose. He hadn't seen it before and he hadn't given it to her which confused hin greatly. Flowing lace flowed off her hips and bunched at her thighs from laying in bed lazily. Her legs which were bare and stretched out across the bed towards him were shapely and smooth. He stared a moment in confusion and mild surprise as a woman dressed like that was never seen at the base let alone around him.

She saw his gaze and after a second looked down confused and saw her bare thighs and legs peeking out. Quickly pulling them into herself she covered up and said nothing but made a small face of embarrassment absolutely hating his gaze on her in any way. He snapped out of it fast immediately annoyed with himself for even entertaining the moment and cleared his throat repeating himself.

"Very well." 

And with that he turned on his heel and left ears a very slight tinge of red. Hopefully this would please Ren. He hated having to go through that like some errand boy. And he also hated speaking so relaxed around and even towards her. What a sick game this was he wasn't sure how much he could take.
