Star Wars Imagines

Sweet On Me Part 3(Hux)

Armitage woke up with (Y/N) in his arms. She had been released from the med bay a few days ago and was doing.... Okay. The bruises had all faded, but on her face and legs and arms, there were scars she couldn't say how she got. When Armitage asked, she just shook her head and got a distant look in her eyes. She'd be like that the rest of the day, mute and distracted, until she got sleep or alcohol. It made him want to scream or cry. Or both.

(Y/N) woke up with a smile. "Morning, beautiful," Armitage said, kissing her head. Her smile grew slightly wider.

"Don't you go sweet on me," she teased. Even though she was safe now, she still prefered to use their old phrase instead of "I love you." One night, after an officer brought up the scars, (Y/N) had snuck off to the bar where she and Armitage had their first kiss. He had arrived after her this time and provided the whisky. There, under the stars, she admitted that she was still worried someone was going to come for her and take her back to him.

The next day, Armitage began anonymously sending intel to the Resistance. Everyone would think (Y/N) had infiltrated them and they'd leave the couple alone. It wasn't ideal, but the war would be over soon, no matter who won. Then they could really be free.

The Resistance had infiltrated the ship. (Y/N) was curled up in the corner of her and Armitage's shared quarters, shaking. She heard that he was on the ship with Finn and Rey. "Help," she whispered into the communicator. "Armitage, help. They're going to find me and--"

"(Y/N)!" He and Finn were standing in the doorway. Finn ran to hug her while he stared coldly at her. "Are you okay? Did anyone hurt you?"

"N-no. Everything's f-fine." Finn helped her to her feet.

"Don't worry. We're going to get you out now, okay?"

"B-but what about spying?" Somehow, everything Armitage told her to do in this situation pushed through the fog of anxiety. "You need a spy a-and if I leave--"

"(Y/N), it's killing you. You need to go back to the base. It's okay, anyway. We're so close to winning."

"B-but--"

"It'll better for your mental health if you come back to the base with us. Right, Poe?"

"Definately. It'll be good to have you back, dear." Poe put his arm around (Y/N)'s waist and kissed the top of her head. "When we get back home, you're dead." He pulled (Y/N) out of the room. She couldn't think or feel anything. Her feet just moved with Poe.

"Actually, I'd like to do this myself," Armitage said to the stormtroopers. Poe, Finn, Chewbacca, and (Y/N) were standing in front of the stormtroopers. (Y/N) was staring off into space. Armitage shot the stormtroopers. "(Y/N) and I are the spies." He quickly went to her side. "Are you alright," he murmured. She just shook her head. He began undoing the restraints on the group.

"We don't have much time," he said. "Let's go." He picked up (Y/N) bridal style.

"Put her down," Poe snapped. Armitage glared at him.

"She's in no condition to walk right now. She gets into states like this where she can't think straight and if she's not with someone, she'll either hurt herself or drink until she passes out."

"Then I think I'll carry her."

"Like I can trust you. Come on, your ship's this way." With that, Armitage hurried out of the room. The group was soon met by the droids, who had their weapons. "I've shut down the impeders. You've got seconds." Poe hurried through the door. Armitage set (Y/N) down. "Follow him. He won't hurt you with Chewbacca there. I'll be along in a second, if that's alright." He glanced up at Finn, who just shrugged. (Y/N) put her arms around him. He hugged her back tightly.

"I don't want to leave," she whimpered.

"You can't stay. They'll suspect you, and Ren will interrogate you instead of me. Everyone knows I've gone sweet on you."

"You have to come with me."

"I will. I promise." (Y/N) nodded and let him go.

"I love you," she whispered. Armitage kissed her one last time.

"I love you, too." She walked through the door. There wasn't much time. (Y/N) needed to be safe, even if that safety came from the people who were hurting her in the first place. So, as Finn started to walk through the door, Armitage called, "Wait!" Finn stopped and stared at him. "Shoot me in the arm. Or they'll know." Finn held up his blaster and shot Armitage in the leg.

"Why are you helping us," he asked.

"For (Y/N). So he won't hurt her anymore."

"The real reason." Armitage looked him dead in the eye.

"Look for any unexplained bruises. And take care of her. Now, go!" Finn ran through the door. As the group left, Armitage smiled at the ceiling. He knew (Y/N) would be alright. He had done the right thing.
