'Please'

It had been almost a week since your last encounter with Kylo Ren, even though it felt like just yesterday he pinned you against the wall and threatened you. And as much as you still disliked the man, you had to give it to him, he sure knew how to put a person in place.
During the past couple of days the troops that were sent to Jakku were unable to secure the droid, which Hux was not very happy about, however they did come back with intel that a girl and former stormtrooper were spotted with it. You'd worked with FN-2187 in the past, at the time he seemed like a pretty good guy. Not ecstatic about working for the First order, but you never thought he would've gone rogue.
'Traitor! Why would you ever choose to leave the first order, here you have security, stability, and a home to go back to after every battle.' Scoffing to yourself you continued your walk to the take off hanger.
Someone on the planet Takodana called in a sighting of the droid, and this time Hux decided to send your team. Excited to prove your capabilities as Commander you directed your troops into the transport shuttle.
Hearing the door close after stepping in you turned to your group of men, "I'm very proud of what you all have achieved in this short week of training. I'm confident that we will be able to complete this mission successfully, nevertheless I still expect your full compliance to my orders."
"Yes Commander" they replied in unison.
"Very good." Sighing you attempted to find a comfortable position to stand in, it was ridiculous that they expected you all to stand the entire ride. 'They really ought to install seats in this thing, Stars knows they have enough money to do so. Unless Hux spends it all on his hair products'

*Im going to skip to after the mission just to help move the plot along (I'll have more notes about it at the end)

You made your way to Hux's office after accounting for all your men. You lost a couple of troops, but most of your team got back to the base with only a few injuries.
Pausing to knock at the door you heard a voice, "Come in"
Entering you stood before his desk "General Hux" you nodded in acknowledgement, "My team was successful in locating the droid. We were perfectly capable of attaining it, however we received orders directly from Kylo Ren himself to leave the BB unit. He stated he had all he needed after he captured the girl that had been accompanying it."
"Idiot!"slamming his fist on his desk he stood and began pacing around his office. "You said you received direct orders from Kylo Ren?"
"Yes General"
"And how does he know this 'girl' has what we need?" He spat his tone venomous.
"He did not inform me General, he's questioning her in the interrogation room as we speak" fidgeting uncomfortably your blood began to boil.
'If I have to pay for Kylo Ren's mistake I'm going to lose it'
"Well then, I shall inform the Supreme leader about this. I will let him know this was all Kylo's doing, therefore he will be the one to take the fall if something goes awry"
'Thank the Stars'
"Thank you General" you sighed feeling your body instantly relax
"Very well, return to your duties" he motioned for you to leave, returning out into the hallway you continued on with your schedule.
A few hours later, two of your troopers came rushing over.
"Commander, the Supreme Leader's apprentice just informed us that the girl escaped. The base has been put on lockdown until someone finds her"
"Escaped? How did she escape?" Panicking you began walking down the corridor
"The other troopers who were guarding her said she used a Jedi mind trick on them"
'She was a Jedi? I wonder if Kylo Ren knew? If he did, he's stupid for leaving her alone with stormtroopers'

——————————————————————

No one had been able to locate the girl and she somehow managed to escape and blow up the base planet with the help of some people from the Resistance. Rumors went around that she was able to escape without Kylo getting the map from her yet, also that she totally destroyed him in a lightsaber battle.
Nevertheless you were all back on the Finalizer, and ordered by the General to bring a report to Kylo about what had been happening during his recovery. It was nothing important really, just basic updates around the ship. You suspected Hux was really just sending you to antagonize him. And although the idea of it sounded fun, your last encounter with him thought otherwise.
Checking with a nurse you followed them to his room, "You have a visitor Sir" they spoke stepping aside for you to enter the room
Walking In you were met with Kylo lying in the cot they provided, his body dwarfing the bed. But what took you by surprise was the fact he wasn't wearing his helmet.
His hair was tousled and looked as though he hadn't washed it in days, he looked as he hadn't slept in all that time as well, and some sort of gray medical technology filled in the gash were it looked as if he had been slashed across the face.
Somehow despite all this he was still the most beautiful man you'd ever seen. You were thankful for your helmet as you felt you face flush at the thought.
"Commander you have something to say?" He shot irritated
"Of course! General Hux informed me to read an update on what you missed during your recovery..." you began reading off the list until he cut you off.
"Save it, I don't need to hear about that stuff"
"I apologize sir I was just following orders" you shot back .
"Of course you were" his face crumpled in to a look of disgust and pity.
"At least I can do that" You retorted
'You can't even seem to follow the most basic of orders, and look where you are now!'
"I warned you last time to control your thoughts around me commander" Kylo hissed.
Ignoring his remark you continued
'If you just let my team capture the droid we wouldn't be in this mess! Also how stupid do you have to be, to leave a Jedi alone with only stormtroopers guarding?'
"She's not a Jedi she lived on Jakku all her life. That was the first time she used her abilities!" he shot back defensively.
"That doesn't really help your case" you laughed humorlessly. "So she wasn't a Jedi and had never used her 'powers' before, and yet she still bested you. The Supreme Leader's highly esteemed apprentice was beaten in a lightsaber battle by some scavenger scum".
"Enough" he whispered, eyes growing dangerously dark.
Ignoring him once more you continued. "I was right you don't deserve your title, your just riding off of your grandfathers legacy, that's pathetic" your voice laced with malice as you echoed his insult from your first meeting.
"I said enough!"
Suddenly you felt a tight grip around your throat as his hand shot into the air. You clawed at your neck, struggling as you attempted to release the grip of an invisible force. You pulled your helmet off as a last ditch attempt to somehow increase your chance of getting any oxygen at all.
'Please' being the only thought you could form.
Miraculously you felt the pressure release as you crumpled to the floor sucking in oxygen. You stared at him incredulously your lungs still burning, but he refused to look at you. Instead he turned his face to stare at the wall next to him.
Not wanting to push your luck, you stood cautiously and grabbing your helmet made you way over to the doorway. Turning you paused at the exit,
'Thank you...I guess'.
