Kylux please, and âThatâs not how the force works!â
This was going to be fluffy and but then it wasnât? And I didnât know how to end it? So have a little ficlet.
Send me prompts!!
âYou say that so often,â Hux said, grinding his teeth, âthat Iâm starting to wonder if you actually can do anything useful with the Force.â
âShut up,â Kylo said softly. He sighed, and Hux only knew because his cheek was smushed against Kyloâs chest. It wasnât by choice; the broken-down escape pod theyâd taken shelter in wasnât designed with roominess in mind, much less for two occupants. It was a small miracle Kylo had been willing to share the space at all, given how less than half a day ago theyâd fought spectacularly. Kylo had bloody scratches somewhere on his arms. Huxâs own arms were bruised. Theyâd screamed and cursed and thrown things. Theyâd said it was over. Theyâd said things that couldnât be taken back.
Outside the rusted doors, Hux heard the furious footfalls of their pursuers and the dim, distant sounds of the ongoing barrage. Kyloâs hand tightened around Huxâs shoulders, and Hux stiffened. He could almost feel the neurons in his brain firing randomly, frantically, when Kyloâs thumb moved in circles at his arm. Was this an attempt at comfort? Was this--
âHush,â Kylo murmured. His breath was hot against the crown of Huxâs head. âMost of them have passed.â
Hux didnât dare move a single muscle. He heard nothing outside, but perhaps Kylo could sense something with the Force that supposedly couldnât get them out of this damned embarrassing situation.
Kylo squeezed his arm, then continued to rub small circles. Hux shut his eyes and focused on Kyloâs breaths--seven in, eleven out. Meditative breathing. Hux had learned the pattern in a yoga class. It seemed a lifetime ago.
âItâll come again,â Kylo murmured into his hair. âWhen--we get back. Itâll come again.â
Hux closed his eyes against the dark of the escape pod and allowed himself to pretend it was the day before, that he was waking in Kyloâs arms, happy and sated and safe. It should have been harder.
