#cannibalism reference

I like to think the store sent him that shirt to screw with him (and somehow knew his size). Two variations for laughs!

Even better, how does MORDECAI feel about it????

Sorry, I'm not very good at asking questions :"3, have a nice night! (Or day, afternoon, I don't know)

Husker did what he had to do.

But he likes to wear his men’s sweaters. He steals Mordecai’s the most often.

Heheheh... I wouldn’t say I’d be opposed.

Did you know when you look at someone you love, the brain will release chemicals like oxytocin and dopamine? I wonder how a lovesick mind like that would taste... Sweet, I’d imagine.

“We’re out of rations, Hux. We’re out of options. Just trust me.”

General Hux lifts his chin and looks down his nose at Kylo, and Kylo’s mind turns in irritation to his earlier idea. But no---it would be fine for the short term, but he needs a long-term plan. They could be stuck on this planet for some time before the First Order finds them.

“You really think this will work,” Hux says, making it sound more like a statement of disbelief than a question.

“Yes.”

Hux huffs, tugs his greatcoat tighter around his shoulders. It’s cold here, colder than the standard First Order fleet temperature setting, and his cheeks are pink. He looks delectable. Which, of course, is ideal.

“I don’t think we’ll need to draw blood,” Kylo says, earning a look of horror from Hux, “but perhaps remove a few layers? Let more of your skin show.”

“This isn’t---I’m not selling my body,” Hux splutters.

"No,” Kylo says. “You’re offering it for free.”

Hux glares at him. Long moments pass, but Kylo says nothing more. Suddenly, Hux flings the greatcoat to the ground, hands going to the fastenings on his tunic. “You had better be right,” he grits out. “And you had better act fast.”

Once Hux has stripped down to the regulation briefs below his jodhpurs, Kylo arranges him, makes him enticing. When he’s finished Hux is sprawled out on a bed of soft vines, legs spread and arms stretched out over his head. It’s a pretty picture. “Stay,” Kylo says. Hux’s face is red.

It takes some time for anything to happen. Hux lies there for nearly an hour, breath coming in nervous gulps that visibly raise and lower his chest. His pale skin is going pink from the chill, and his toes are curling.

Kylo knows at once when the creature scents him, can feel the creature’s curiosity as it lumbers toward the clearing. He does not alert Hux; Hux’s shriek of fear upon seeing the massive beast is entirely genuine.

“Ren,” Hux screams. “Ren!”

The creature approaches Hux, enormous snout low to the ground. When it gets close, it opens its mouth, which Kylo sees is full of pointed teeth. Its tongue extends as if for a taste.

“Ren!”

Kylo bursts from his hiding spot, brings his lightsaber down at just the right part of the beast’s body to kill it instantly. It lets out a confused-sounding croak and slumps to the ground before Hux, snout thudding into the vines between Hux’s legs.

“I told you it would work,” Kylo says. “We can cure this meat and eat for months.”

Hux’s breath is coming harshly. He is hugging his elbows as he draws his knees up to his chest. “I won’t have to do this again, will I?”

“Well,” Kylo says. “Something could happen to our stores. Maybe this guy’s friends will come across it. You’ll need to be ready to play bait again at any time.”

Hux retrieves his greatcoat and burrows into it as though it’s a blanket. “At least I can trust you not to let me die,” he grumbles.

Kylo cocks his head to the side, but makes no comment on this odd pronouncement. Hux will, indeed, survive for as long as Kylo needs him. And being bait makes him more useful in the long run than simply being dead. For now, Kylo will just have to keep wondering what human flesh would taste like.

No need to cook for me... I can make a few dishes myself. Maybe cook something for you. I hope you’re not adverse to human dishes. I’d love to cook for more than just myself!
