A Shot In The Dark // Kylo x Reader

Chapter 20 || Cantina

A shiver ran down my spine at the sound of Kylo's modulated voice, I couldn't pinpoint why I was suddenly feeling guilty, it's not like I was doing anything wrong, however the way he spoke told me otherwise.

My body turned as my gaze fell from the three petrified boys in front of me and onto the masked man. My brows knit in confusion as I opted to mentally communicate with him.

Kylo what are you doing here? Is something wrong? I held my breath in worry, but released it upon hearing his voice.

"We have training. Now." He spoke firmly, almost angrily.

"No." I crossed my arms, ignoring the stares coming from everyone in the cafeteria. "You promised I could have tonight off."

His body noticeably stiffened, he wasn't fond of my noncompliance, however I stood my ground and continued to glare into the holes of his mask.

Don't make a scene. We're going. His voice pierced my mind.

Kriff off.

My words sparked something inside of him, I could feel it. For some reason his growing irritation was amusing, I couldn't stop the small smile that graced my lips, what's the worst he could do?

I spoke too soon. In an instant Kylo had used the force to make me stand before he swiftly grabbed my hips and swung my body over his shoulder.

"Kylo what the hells, put me down!" I yelled, pounding into his back. He didn't listen or utter a word, instead turned around and began to walk out of the cafeteria with me tightly planted in his grasp.

I lifted my head to view the table I was being escorted away from. "I will be there tonight." I half-yelled, earning amused yet confused glances from my new friends.

"Meet us at 2100!" JN-1615 laughed. "Good luck." Her words were the last I heard before leaving.

Once we exited, I continued my attempt at wiggling free from Kylo's grasp, unfortunately his hold was too strong for my weakened muscles.

"Let me down now and I'll stop fighting." I huffed, pleading for him to release me.

Kylo stopped walking, thinking to himself for a moment before finally allowing my feet to touch the ground. I fixed my clothes before standing firmly in front of him, there was a dangerous look in my eyes.

"Explain right now."

His mask turned on me before facing forward as he began to stride away from my position, blatantly ignoring my words.

I rolled my eyes and followed. "That was embarrassing and unnecessary."

"Don't fight me next time, you deserved that." He stated matter of factually.

"Deserved? Deserved!? I literally did nothing wrong, you're just being an ass all of a sudden."

He stirred for a moment then quickened his pace. I was growing tired of his mood swings, which happened more often than not.

"I am not training anymore today." I spoke firmly while trying to keep up with his strides.

"Ok."

"Because it isn't fair you- what?" I paused for a moment but he continued to walk, causing me to jog up to his position.

"You don't have to."

I was about to lose my mind, for the millionth time this week might I add, my brain fought to come up with a reasonable explanation to why he was acting like this.

As we continued to walk to gods knows where my mind trailed back to the moments before his arrival, he never enters the stomtrooper area unless completely necessary, and by his standards just telling me we need to 'train' is not something dire enough to spark his actions. I put my detective skills to work, he didn't care I was meeting JN, maybe he wasn't fond of me making new friends?
