A Shot In The Dark // Kylo x Reader

Chapter 12 || Hazy

I was in somewhat of a trance, allowing by body to carry me down various grey hallways. This was a new experience for me, my curiosity encouraged my feet to walk further, footsteps echoed on the hard floor keeping a steady pace. 

I made it to a new area, one I have never explored before - new troopers weren't needed or permitted here. Through my peripherals it appeared no one had noticed me, and if they did they never said anything. The hallway was nearing an end, through it was a large space filled with various tech and superiors. Tall doors littered the walls, I figured they lead to more tech-filled rooms.

I stopped once I reached the middle of the large space, my brain hazy with confusion as it tried to figure out the reason for being led here. My thoughts were interrupted by shouts, head turning to find two general guards walking in my direction. 

Two of Hux's guards. Shit, shit, shit.

"Trooper, you are out of uniform and in an unauthorized area, what is your reason for being here?" The one spoke, voice filtered through his mask. 

"Oh, um, I..." I fought to come up with a lie, cursing myself for following my brain into this situation. "I was on a walk for my physical therapy, hence no suit, and I got a little... lost."

They remained frozen in their positions, no doubt trying to figure out if I was telling the truth. 

I swallowed nervously before putting on a smile. "I can show you my scar if you would like, but believe me it is super gross, my skin is all raw and there's like a lot of blood. A lot. These stitches really did a number on m-"

"I will take it from here." A different voice spoke. My nerves disappeared upon seeing Kylo Ren towering over them. 

He grabbed my upper arm, pulling me down the hallway along side him. 

"Oh, hey Kylo thanks for the rescue." I spoke, struggling to keep his pace. "Could you maybe slow down a little, or release my arm?" 

He didn't react, just continued pulling me around until arriving at his destination. His quarters?

Once inside he reached up to pull his mask off, releasing me in the process. His face was cold and a little aggravated, the butterflies in my stomach unhappily returned. 

"That was really good tim-" 

"What were you doing there?" He cut me off, eyes narrowed on my face.

"I don't know." I swallowed, earning a puzzled look from Kylo.

"You don't know? You were there."

"Yeah but- okay you're going to think I'm crazy." I sighed, walking over to sit on his couch, which was surprisingly very comfortable. 

He followed my lead, setting his body down in a chair to my right, he made a face signaling for me to continue. 

"I just got this feeling like I should be there, actually I didn't even know what there was. My body just decided it needed to go and I allowed it, but I'm not sure why that was such an important spot." I bit my bottom lip, impatiently awaiting his reaction. 

His gaze burned intensely into mine, before travelling to the wall behind me. Kylo hummed quietly, lost in thought, for a split second I could swear fear flashed through his eyes.

"Um hello? Kylo?" I waved my arms around in the air attempting to get his attention. He shook his head slightly before rolling his eyes and meeting my gaze. 

"What are you thinking about?" I asked, suddenly very curious about what was running through his head. 

"Nothing." His voice was deadpan.
