27 Stay With Me 27

[WARNING: MILD BLOOD]

As your feet hit the gritty sand, you gawked at the astonishing scenery. The abundance of greenery that surrounded you, left you breathless. So this was the beautiful sight of nature upon Batuu.

"Holy- it's gorgeous here." You continued to rotate your head in various directions, scanning the vibrant hued trees.

Kylo nodded and placed his hand on your back, urging you towards a small building in the distance.

"Is this the Cantina?" You glanced up at him with eagerness.

"Yeah." His hand traveled to the back of your neck, massaging it with care.

Your lips curved upwards forming a smile of satisfaction. He seemed to be returning to the side of him you enjoyed most.
When you arrived, the scene was chaotic. The clusters of creatures varied beyond recognition and the seemingly loud music brought an upbeat feel to the place. "Have you ever been here?" You turned to face Kylo and witnessed him scanning the area.

"Only a few times." He made his way over to the bar and you followed.

"W- we might have be quick here. I haven't visited in years and I've left behind some...old conflict."

"Um, what kind of conflict?" You furrowed your brows as a bundle of nerves set in.

"That's not important. Just have a drink or two then we'll go, ok?" He glanced at you with sternness.

"Ok." If you'd known you'd be taking such a great risk by coming here, you most likely wouldn't have requested to.
"What do I even order?" You snatched a menu and scanned it, waiting for a suggestion from Kylo.

You gazed up only to see him still analyzing the place with such caution.

"Kylo." You hit him on the arm with ease.

"What?" He whipped around to meet your eyes.

"If you wanna leave, we can leave. It's ok." As much as you didn't want to go, if it wasn't safe you most certainly didn't want to remain here just to try a damn beverage.

"No it's fine. What are you getting?" His attention seemed to have return back towards you.

"What's this?" You pointed to the Jedi Mind Trick.

"Yeah, don't get that." He shook his head excessively.

"Well, what should I get then?" You handed him the menu and he studied it attentively.

"Here, this." His finger laid upon the Jet Juice.

"That sounds, uh pretty interesting. I'll try it." You shrugged your shoulders and threw the menu down. Your eyes fell upon a large, alien like creature which just so happen to be the bartender. "Excuse me, can I have four Jet Juices please." You shot him a warm smile and he gave u a slight nod.

"Four?" Kylo tapped you on the arm.

"Yeah...aren't you- " You furrowed your brows.

"No. I- I can't. Not today at least." He shook his head.

"Oh c'mon have some fun." Your hand gestures were inviting.

"I said no." His tone was harsh.

"Sheesh ok."

"But I don't want you drinking all of those yourself."

"Why not?" You looked up at him with a slight attitude.
