Kiddo | Kylo Ren

XI. A punch to the Gut

Today marks day four of you and Kylo's ongoing fight.

Ever since the day you had thrown yourself at the Supreme Leader with the intention of hurting him, he's been avoiding you.

Not exactly because he was mad- but because he wanted space.

Or time to think about why you may have been so mad at him for seemingly no good reason at all.

He had beaten up Akira because he hurt you, why were you not grateful?

Kylo had been sauntering around the Finalizer base for a few days. He thought by day eleven of you being here, he'd have you in his arms- or bed- already.

But you were so far from that. Kylo could sense every emotion you'd felt for him in the past few days, and they were not positive.

Especially on day ten, when Kylo had sensed a bit of guilt flood your senses from all the way across the base. You felt bad for attacking him- like it had just hit you that what you said and did may have hurt him.

This was the day Kylo had to physically shut his mind away from yours so he wouldn't have to hear your sweet, gentle sobs echoing through his mind.

You were heartbroken and lonely- even though you were stationed on a base with thousands of other people.

But on day eleven, something changed.

Kylo could sense you had met someone- someone you had a lot of affection for, even though they were a newcomer. 

It was unclear whether this person was a male or female, but that detail didn't matter. You were Kylo's girl, right? You weren't the type of person to kiss then ditch, right?

As Kylo fled through the halls of his base, following your scent as if he were a bloodhound, it surprised him when he found you with another girl.

Miki, sector J8-0. She's a flight attendant for the longer shuttle rides. 

Kylo knew right away she was the person you had met by the way you smiled up at her. Your wide grin stretched from ear to ear every time her mouth opened, babbling about something you didn't quiet care to listen to.

The both of you had been running around the long hallways, window shopping some of the stores the Finalizer had to have for regulation reasons.

There was a boutique. A shoe store. A weaponry supplier/cleaner- and an electronics store.

Kylo knew the two of you had just gotten done in the electronics store by the way you were clutching a bright white bag to your side. You had probably just spent your entire allowance on some simple data pad Kylo could have easily gotten for you if you'd have just asked.

But you didn't. Instead, you decided to go out with your new little friend and buy it yourself, rendering you completely broke and in need of portions.

Kylo watched as the two of you giggled at each other, smiling brightly as you continued sauntering down the hall, completely ignoring the looming black figure watching you closely.

Just seeing you smile so wide made Kylo's heart stop. You were beautiful- he knew that already, but not being able to see you for so long made every second you weren't in his arms seem like a lifetime.
