Kylo softly rubbed his eyes before looking at you and grinning slightly.

"Good morning to you too, Commander,"

He dragged you close to him and placed a kiss on your forehead.

"You didn't sleep much, did you,"

You shook your head 'no' against his chest.

"Nah, I just like being up early."

He pinched your thigh and slowly sat up.

"Now, I know that isn't true,"

You rolled your eyes and pushed him on his back, straddling his waist. With your hands on his chest, you bent over and placed a kiss on his lips, his large fingers grasping at your hips.

Most mornings ended up starting like this one: with lots of teasing and sexual energy. Unfortunately, there was always business to attend to.

"We have a meeting with General Hux in a hour,"

You groaned and slouched against him.

"Do I have to go? You know I don't do anything anyway,"

He placed a kiss on top of your head, rubbing your back gently.

"If I have to go, then you do too,"

Groaning once again in disgust, you climbed off of him and grabbed the clothes off the floor that looked least dirty, watching Kylo's muscular frame stretching as he yawned.

For days now, Kylo had been like this with you: playful, gentle, teasing. At first you thought it was because he felt bad for being gone for days at a time, but you quickly realized he was trying to get you to let your guard down, to see what you were actually thinking.

This proved to be unsuccessful. You could sense his frustration when he tried to see inside your mind but couldn't. He never brought it up, but you knew that he knew you were keeping something from him.

"Care to join me in the shower?" He called over his shoulder from the bathroom doorway.

"How could I resist?"

"Due to unfortunate damage to a large number of our ships and soldiers, we will be unable to attack the Resistance base for at least a week."

General Hux's tone sounded incredibly irritable as he delivered the news, no doubt upset that he couldn't massacre innocent people sooner.

You recently realized that you hated Hux more than you ever disliked Kylo and often spent your time daydreaming during these meetings about ways to kill him.

"Slona,"

You jumped as he addressed you, meeting his eyes.

"Are you quite sure that the Rebel is still on the base?"

You rolled your eyes at him.

"Trust me, I wouldn't be sitting on the hard ass floor everyday checking in on the base with my fucking mind if he wasn't."

At this point, Kylo ensured that you were using your power at least once a day to check in on the base, making sure that their precious map was still with him.

Kylo kicked you underneath the table, most likely annoyed by your disrespectful response. You fought the urge to roll your eyes, and smiled at him sweetly. Kylo pretended it wasn't true, but really, you could get away with whatever you wanted in his presence. Except leaving the First Order.
