Serving the Commander

Brat leader

Slipping an arm around his watching as he places his other free hand onto the top of yours holding it rather gently, the two of you stride down the hallways for quite a while before starting to notice the scenery beginning to change. The further you keep going the more and more decorative the walk becomes, noticing the halls are starting to be lined with beautifully decorated candelabras and huge bouquets of stunning red and black roses all leading up to a long bright red carpet that lines the path to the metal doors leading out into the large open crossway within the middle of the order which is no doubt completely decorated just as elaborately. Approaching the red carpet Hux finally speaks again breaking the defining silence "I must admit you look rather beautiful this evening, I know that I give you and...Ren a hard time but please know it's not always intentional. I have hated that man for as long as I can remember, always having everything I wanted, swooping in last minute stealing away any chance at my own success. But I must say his entire demeanor seems to change around you, even when he tries to hide it, to still portray that same sad cold emotionless personality I can tell you have made him stronger. The first order is lucky to have such a wise woman guiding our rather senseless brat leader, we can only hope that with your help we can finally overpower our enemies becoming the most feared force in the galaxy. Now if you'll excuse me, I was told you leave you by the doors, I am to take my place behind the two of you...of course, good luck and welcome to the dark side."

Huxs releases your arm leaving you standing alone in the incredibly empty hallway watching him slip between the door slightly revealing the rather large crowd waiting on its other side, suddenly feeling very nervous placing a hand atop your stomach trying to suck in a few deep breaths under the incredibly tight dress. Of course, this would be the moment Kylo walks around the corner eyeing you from behind, watching you slightly hunched over stumbling towards the nearest object. Before staggering into the first pillar holding some of the roses his arm catches you tugging your figure into his "whoa (y/n) what's going on, are you okay?" Instantly feeling relief by his grasp looking up into his beautiful honey eyes your hands clamp onto an unfamiliar fancy soft swede tunic "uh hi...um yeah, I am okay, I think? I just saw how many people are outside and for some reason that apparently made me very lightheaded, if you hadn't caught me..." brushing a pair of red leather gloves along your cheek "I'll always catch you, don't let the crowd overwhelm you they are all here to support our leadership. Cannot have them thinking their new empress is not as strong as their Supreme leader says she is, now can we? Come on stand up tall, know that I've got you...I'll protect you always." reassuring yourself steadily back on the floor the sudden lightheadedness has completely faded "you sure have a way of making me feel better Kylo Ren...I'm so lucky to have you."

Moving his hand into yours stepping a few feet back his eyes wander over your figure "do you feel as beautiful as you look?" blushing hard, sliding a hand over the dress "this makes me feel something yes but not nearly as beautiful as you make me feel, thank you..." tugging you back into his embrace his lips almost press into yours but abruptly stop just before connecting "humph I know that lipstick...almost made me walk out in front of my empire with it smeared along my face again." Tilting his head, the soft pressure of his mouth lines your cheek "that will have to suffice for now, okay are you ready it's time to head out there." Gulping hard but squeezing his hand in agreement the two of you walk towards the doors where he uses the force to push them open allowing space enough for both of you to walk out together just as he slips his arm around your waist, arriving on the lifted platform the audience realizes their leader has arrived and the loud chatter ceases as the room grows silent.

With a light squeeze around your hip he motions for you to stand next to him while he Hux begins addressing the crowd, anxiety creeps up again as you use all focus to keep from fainting barely hearing the inaudible mumbles coming from Hux's speech. Something about commanders and leaders, hearing a few familiar words here and there "Snoke, Ren, Supreme, and empress." Upon hearing that one simultaneously feeling Kylo grip onto your hip again bringing your focus back to reality, the faces in the crowd begin to regain logical shape allowing you to recognize a few of the familiar figures mixed within hundreds of unknown persons. Catching glimpses of Doris, Yasmine, Sola, James '...wait?!' Darting you're gaze back to the place you thought you had spotted him only to see it's just a regular man who has a strangely similar resemblance, and finally spotting Carmen standing only a few rows back from the podium, her presence immediately makes you look away blushing hard remember all of the things that happened between you two only hours ago.
