it BAFFLES hux as much as it angers him , how the reckless pilot had the audacity to try and joke about the situation that had stopped hux's heart ,, if he had one , stars it was beating too fast in his chest as he laid poe's head back down on the ground . it might be concussion , he didn't want poe moving his head too much until he felt ready to get up .
location : some dark medical facility in the middle of a planet that had been destroyed . the war hasn't ended yet but surprisingly this time , the resistance failed , and all the x-wings had been blown into pieces . hux will always remember how unfamiliar his voice sounded when he yelled out for poe , trying to find him from under the pile of metal , blood and rocks . he didn't know how many people had left alive outside , but he knew there were only two of them here .
❝ you idiot . ❞ the general gets up from his seat to check poe's temperature , touching his forehead with his bare hand . not so bad , healthy , for now . ❝ you . . . i d i o t ,, going headfirst into the range of star destroyers . really ? r e a l l y ? ! ❞
dust had laid on the fire of his red locks , a scratch on his cheek . for once hux doesn't look as pristine as he always is . and for a moment he couldn't stop himself from leaning down to kiss the pilot . taking his time . it wasn't a revenge kiss , more in the lines of RELIEF .
