Everyone in the company knew how mean and bossy Armitage Hux was, even if you were from a completely different department, but this project was going to pull you in his inner work team and it terrified you to get first hand experience with him. You heard plenty of times how he made new interns cry and the older ones want to commit a suicide. So you weren’t exactly thrilled at working with him even on a project you have literally dreamed of since being accepted to work for the First Order company, the most prestigious company among prestigious companies. The project required two different departments that almost never interacted which also didn’t help.

You were ready for the first meeting between two departments, each under the supervision of completely different people and personalities, to be just a horrendous trainwreck. But Armitage Hux being the team leader of the other one? You didn’t have to be some kind of prophet to know this was going to be painful just to watch. Even though you were anxiously expecting disaster to occur in the first meeting, the sunshine side in you just had to shine through. So you had an exceptionally good morning, you were on time, had a delicious bagel and the sky was sunny, therefore there was no chance of Hux fucking up your day.

The office building was huge but not exceptional among the other skyscrapers littering the city, molding it into cement block maze. The windows provide enough clearance for you to see the busy people already moving around in the offices above, you even noticed some of your own team members anxiously waiting for your arrival while preparing the rest of the documentation for today's team meeting.

You knew you were ready, your team also knew but that didn’t put to rest the anxious little monster growing inside your stomach. Still, you put on your best brave smile and entered the lobby, greeted the receptionist Clara and continued down the hall to wait for the elevator. Beeping your employee card on the scanner, to let you proceed to the elevator, put you right back into your morning routine, well, just for your coworker and a sort of subordinate, Rey bombard you with questions in the waiting line.

“Did you hear it?” Her voice sounded an octave higher than usual or maybe it was just your tired brain not used to loud sounds yet, nothing a good old coffee couldn’t fix in minutes.

“Hm?” Your brain was still too tired to properly answer and so you only mumbled an acknowledgement to her question. Slow sips of your latté seemed to clear your mind a bit, thank god for sales like bagel plus free coffee at the local cafe otherwise you would be unusable these days.

“You know what I mean.” You were sure if you were to meet eyes with Rey, she would pierce you with that intense gaze.

“The merge.” There was no merge, so far you weren’t even aware of any cuts in finances for this year or the one to follow. Whatever Rey was talking about was most likely just a bunch of bored employees gossiping and conspiring together, nothing major, nothing serious. This realization calmed you down even though The Merge sounded quite apocalyptic.

“I can assure you there is no merge, especially not between our two departments, Miss-” A voice interrupted but it did not intend to finish that sentence as if the owner was too busy to learn Rey’s name at all. He turned his attention to you, measuring you over, his calculating glare went over the ink stained hands to your low set black heels with that tiny cut on the left side you were so desperate to hide with black marker.

Armitage Hux waiting in front of the elevator for your arrival was definitely not on your list for today. He looked like a pristine image out of some magazine with men’s suits, his deep blue shaded suit with silver cufflinks perfectly paired with an expensive looking watch he was now checking printing itself in the back of your brain forever. Quite a nightmarish image of a handsome man with such a cold and cruel demeanor.

“You are both late. Meeting room 3 in 5 minutes.” And with that he was gone again, like a ghost, maybe he is a ghost of this building, stackup nitpicking cold monster that was stabbed by his tired employee centuries ago and now has to haunt the rest of you. He didn’t even turn around making you puzzle if he was truly addressing you.

“What’s going on?” Whisperyelled Rey, her wide eyes scanning the surrounding as if Armitage was going to pop up from the corner to remind her she has now 4 minutes left to be present in the meeting room.

“Trouble.” You simply answered your bewildered friend, there was no better answer to it after all. The morning you dreamed of was slowly fading into a nightmarish mess but at least you had now caffeined your brain enough to proceed to normal functions. Plus your team had your back, there was nothing to be afraid of except Armitage Hux and he was simply a man in a suit. Just an ordinary man in a tailored suit with a stoic expression.

And you were right, the team really had your back but Armitage definitely didn’t, he was mean and bossy and nitpicking and just so fucking insufferable. However, the meeting ended with both departments and their leaders arriving at a consensus, not a happy one. It almost reminded you of those messy divorce screaming matches in tv shows, except this was veiled in professionalism and formal language.

Of course your suffering didn’t end just as did the meeting, he was probably a sadist, prolonging your pain with his “Word?”. You were sure it wasn’t even a question, it was just an order for you to follow him straight to his office.

Armitage Hux’s office was neat as it can be, if it weren’t for the few scattered papers on the desk you would guess this was one of those exhibitions of furniture in Ikea. Well, even the Ikea display has more personality, some fakeass photos of happy couple/family. His office is neat until it’s bare, devoid of indicating anything about the owner’s personality.

That’s kinda sad.

“Listen, I know that the project is not top notch of the quality it could be but I think we have a solid plan we can now expand upon.” You had to win this argument, you wouldn’t let him defeat you over a project you so desperately wanted for years. So, if he wanted to fight you were ready to bare teeth at this twig in a suit.

“Oh, and before you say it’s-,” you couldn’t even finish before he interrupted you, “acceptable.”

“What?” You blurted out, completely stunned by his remark. Did Armitage Hux, after all that tousling about in the meeting room, admit the plan your team created is acceptable. Yes, there were few changes happening after the “discussion” of both teams but nothing you have not foreseen already that also didn’t mean you were happy with said changes. But consensus between two completely different departments is everything the leadership asked for.

“The proposal is acceptable, I don’t understand why I should be doubtful, so far you have only proven to be a valuable asset for the company.” Armitage was always the epitome of professional and now he was complimenting you. He was complimenting you, right? Maybe you had too much coffee, maybe you had not enough coffee and maybe God was spinning on his chair and laughing at you up in the sky.

“Oh, thanks. I will take it as a compliment, even though you sound like a formal email impersonator.” Gosh, did you really just say that to him? There was a cold sweat pooling down your back, anxiety ranking up. Was he going to yell at you for such a statement, what you have heard so far it wouldn’t be unusual for him to yell at people over smaller things.

“I don’t.” His expression could be only described as a deadpan expression. It’s actually kinda funny, not entirely scary. He doesn’t laugh, noted, but you do and you also make people laugh and so you set your new target.You almost look around to see a hidden camera or an entire camera crew as if in The office. And while you amused yourself in your mind Armitage sported back his expression to emotionless stare before turning his attention back to the documents on the desk.

“You do.” A small laugh escaped your lips at that moment and with his attention divided elsewhere you took it as an ideal time to run away exit the situation and also the office.

But before you could escape this storm of a man, he had to add. “Until the next meeting I expect you and your team to finish said plans.” And with that the conversation and mess of a morning comes to an end. However, there is still a lot of time for unexpected surprises before the day ends.

And so it began, the little you running circles in your brain over the thoughts of your new co-leader, the cold redhead slowly sneaking in your head again and again. It helped the clock to tick faster which was a good thing but the constant train of thoughts disassembling every part of your interaction with him over the time was like a cold shower every single time.

The last time you checked the clock read 5 minutes after 8pm and with that you started to pack your things ready to head home, have little dinner and continue with the paperwork over a random kdrama playing as a background noise. And as you bid everyone goodbye you noticed Armitage’s crouched figure in his office, going over some even more boring paperwork than was the one waiting on you at home. It was probably true, the first one to be in the office and the last one to leave that was Armitage’s schedule.

Sad.

And so you set your mind on a new plan, a horrible and cruel plan to ruin your late morning and exchange it for an early cold shower wake up and speed walk to a cafe not only for your favorite bagel but also a special delivery of coffee.

God, what am I even doing this early?

When the alarm buzzed you were around 100% sure you were making a mistake. Waking this early should be a crime. No, It is a crime. Especially when you were a busy little bee like you always are and spent the whole night until 3am working. But part of you knew it was going to be worthy, today was the day you were going to crack that tough ice cold exterior of Armitage’s facade.

If waking up this early wasn’t a mistake the cold shower definitely was but in all honesty you were just afraid you would fall asleep on the bus, so cold shower it was. In the end it was kinda worthy, you got your favorite bagel without having to wait in long line; got another free coffee, you had no idea if the sale was still on or if you just looked so terrible they felt sad for you and just had to give it to you; you also got Armitage his coffee and as a big finale you were on time, actually very early overall.

The office was ruefully empty. And there was no Rey to talk to, you knew she wasn’t going to be in the office until 9am but you still hoped even she would find the idea of early start amusing. In reality you expected to get laughed at when she finally decides to grace the office with her presence.

You might have felt alone in the empty corridors of the building but it was not so empty after all. The curtain might have been drawn but you could see a slim light escaping in between them from his office, the artificial light was definitely not sunshine.

He must have stayed up all night.

Mustering courage you knocked on his door before waiting on an invitation to let yourself in. It was useless, there was no sound coming from the office and so you knocked again and then again. Realizing he was not going to answer you decided to open the door and check up on him anyway.

He was sleeping on his desk with his suit jacket over the chair behind him and loose tie around his neck. The dress shirt slightly crumpled at the edges, his red hair tousled around and neck craned in such an uncomfortable position you were sure of his incoming back pain.

“Knock, knock.” You tried to say softly, just lightly waking him up but instead you groaned, your voice still not comfortable from no use this morning, startling him awake.

“I-” His form jolted, eyes flying open and searching the room for the culprit of his rough awakening. Blue eyes finally gazing upon you, Armitage looked boyishly handsome that morning, it was not just the wide expression but the state of disarray you found him in.

You decided against speaking, part of you afraid your blushing form would say something stupid, the stupid thoughts of the redhead not leaving you alone. The, almost like a cardboard, coffee cup made an uncomfortable noise once you pushed it on the table toward its owner, making the moment even more awkward.

He took a slow sip, still not fixing his hair or attire and part of you wished he never would, it suited him and you probably liked it even more than it actually suited him.

“How did you know what coffee I drink?” His voice still hoarse and laced with sleepiness painted your cheeks even more crimson red. God it made you imagine things, you didn’t even know from where the thoughts were coming but there was somehow no way to stopping them. Your view of Armitage Hux completely shattering and rearranging itself into a different image.

“It's just black coffee, Hux, I assumed you would like black coffee, you are like the embodiment of black coffee.”

“Thank you, that's very considerate of you.” His lips touched the cup in a cautious move before he took a sip, trying to hide his small smile but you noticed it, you definitely noticed it and you knew you won. You won Armitage Hux over with a simple gesture of kindness.

”Was it a compliment or?” You wanted to laugh and you wanted to see more of a happier Armitage from now on. You felt like you got closer to Hux at that moment, a possible friendship started to blossom between the two of you.

“Who knows.” Shrugging, he moved on to finally fix himself a little, smirk still apparent on his lips complimenting his tired stare. In that moment you wanted to experience more moments like this and you sure were going to try.

********

Finally it was the day the board would either accept the project or deny it. You couldn’t sleep for two days prior and even before that you slept only around 15 hours in a week, you felt almost dead. Both of you, Armitage and you, were now staring at your notebooks, ready to receive the final answer to your now weeks long struggle.

Armitage's notebook beeped, a notification sounding off, sending you flying across the desk almost into his lap, not even considering it could be a completely different email or even personal thing.

You and Armitage got closer, just as the both of your teams, over the weeks you spent on this project, countless nights together in the office seemed to harden your relationship even more. You had fun, Armitage was not only a hardworking perfectionist and handsome man, he was also very funny, like ridiculously funny in your opinion.

The email was long, like unnecessarily when it comes to formal corporal emails but the end of it was just so promising. Both of you skimmed over the words, searching for the phrases denied. There was none, the only thing in the end it contained was so sweet and wanted approval for your project, relieving you both of disappointment.

You were not sure who was the first, if you or Armitage, but now the both of you were jumping as high as you could while clinging to each other, a victorious hug. It could take only seconds or minutes, you squealing and Armitage yelling, hugging each other and jumping once again, but when it was over, the embarrassment in both parties was apparent.

Anyone could come into this office at any time, it was not uncommon for most of the higher ranking employees to just not knock and barge in and if they saw the team leaders of the current biggest project in the company disheveled and out of breath, who knows what they would think.

There was a common understanding of this premise and so the following actions were understandable, while you tried to smooth your skirt down, Armitage did the same to his hair and also his tie. He was still out of breath and a bit flushed, his look of happiness making you warm again.

“You should trust your guts more.” And again with his disheveled appearance, this man was going to be the death of you for sure. And while he was busy sporting himself back into his usual calm and perfect form you had to admire how far the both of you have come.

“Trust my guts? Armitage, I have a crippling anxiety.” Wholehearted laugh clawed its way out of your throat, making him smile. “That’s like the worst advice ever.” You continued still giggling like a little girl with your cheeks starting to hurt from all the happiness flowing inside you.

“I tried.”

“I appreciate it.” You gave him a small shy smile, your cheeks were still too warm for you to completely concentrate. “Thank you.” You whispered in the end.

“You are welcome.” Nodding fondly over this conversation, Hux gave you a smug expression, which you have completely missed because you turned your attention back to the documents you had to prepare for the next meeting.

“Even though you should be the one thanking me for my amazing advice.” Armitage chimes in, relaxed expression kept in place while he slightly nudged you in the ribs.

“Was it a joke?” Your face morphing into a shocked amused grin, you turned to him, observing the man momentarily. “Did Armitage Hux just make a joke?” You were not aware that Armitage Hux, the cold hearted redhead, could joke but you liked it and hoped it would stay like this for a while.

“I regret ever interacting with you.” You could see the slight smirk forming on Armitage's face when he spoke, unable to contain it. Since starting working on this project you and Armitage really got close, you would even call him your friend now. Yeah, he was still sometimes a cold prick but you could see the appeal of him. Handsome, smart and very passionate for his work with a decent sense of humor, Armitage Hux was definitely a catch. This project really opened your eyes when it came to him.

“You don’t.” Your elbow met what you firstly assumed would be a bony mass but in reality was well defined muscles under what you deemed was branded suit.

“I do.” He couldn’t fight the smirk off now. It was awfully obvious. The past you would probably be slightly horrified over the thought of Armitage Hux smirking. The picture of it being painted under the impression that he is obviously an evil corporate man. However, seeing him smirk now sparked something completely different in you. The silly picture of an evil man from a cartoon you used to hold in your mind when someone said his name was replaced with a charming looking redhead man in a suit with a warm aura around him.

“Nah.” You felt silly, stupid and giddy over this man and how warm he made you feel even though everyone viewed him as a cold and mean man he never was. “You love it.”

“Yeah, I do.” The stare he gave you made something carnal turn in you, it was not an alien feeling but with Armitage there was a new intensity to it. Red liquid heat pooled inside your belly under his loving gaze.

Oh.

“I-I have to go and- inform the team, you know- so they like- know and- stuff.” You titered a bit, unsure how to continue such a conversation. Did Armitage Hux really make your heart skip a beat now? First he jokes and now he makes your heart flutter, the world truly is full of wonders

“Yeah, totally. I-” He seemed absentminded for a second, something you could hardly ever see on the young team leader’s face. Everyone might talk about his cold attitude but no one could deny how dedicated Armitage was to his work. Even though you weren’t from the same department you knew long before this project presented itself in front of you, that he was the first in the office and also the last one to leave. His workaholism seemed even more prominent with his quick responses to your emails regarding the shared project no matter at which hour you would send them. It was something worth admiring and fearing at the same time. And now you were the one stuck in their mind and still staring at him.

“Hey, would you like- to go for a coffee or something?” His voice cracked in the middle, maybe it was trying to stop him from continuing but he still pushed through, the final bits of courage sending him past the finish line, finally asking.

OH.

“Your proposal is acceptable.” You tried to imitate his voice, those words as a reminder to the conversation you had with him after the first meeting.

“Thank god.” The relief on his face was comforting to see. Armitage was really keen to go out with you and it made you happy beyond anything.

Bonus little bits with Armitage’s POV:

He really hoped he could avoid Ben this morning but luck seemed not to be on his side this time. Armitage and Ben have been friend-workers since they both started in the company. They actually knew each other even before since they both went to the same college. At first they were not awfully close, Ben liked to annoy the fuck out of Armitage while he was trying to enjoy his morning coffee, lunch or evening run. Basically destroying nice things he liked but somehow the two of them stuck together and formed a sort of friendship over some time. That of course didn’t change anything on Ben annoying him with every single ounce he had in himself, which was the exact reason he really wanted to escape him this morning. This perfect late morning, he decided to enjoy himself and to read in bed until it was completely necessary to go to work. He never did that but recent sunshine in his office seemed to brighten his life and mood all the time so why not to enjoy a slow morning, he was after all always on time for 5 years straight now.

Armitage could see Ben towering over the cubicles scattered over the big room on the second floor of the company building. Ben was currently laughing over something some brown haired woman said, Armitage recently learnt her name was Rey and Ben was incredibly fond of her. This information was obviously carefully and pragmatically locked down inside his brain to be used later if the time called for it.

And so Armitage hoped he could silently walk down to his office without Ben annoying him so early in the morning, leaving him to reminisce about what today could bring him, especially if it was in the form of a cute co-leader he recently had the chance to meet. He was wrong, obviously, well not really, but yes, he was wrong.

The young redhead was correct when his thoughts browsed back to you and if you would be as cheerful in his presence as you were yesterday. What he however didn’t mean to summon was not only your attention but also Ben’s.

“Armitage!” And there you were, a sunshine smile and loud voice directing everyone's attention, including Ben’s, to yourself before they turned to see him.

He simply nods in acknowledgement without realizing his face was graced with a slowly spreading smile. Ignoring his previous distaste in morning conversation, giving her a small wave didn’t seem so annoying as greeting Ben.

“Well, well, well, who is trying to sneak by.” God, just his voice could irritate Armitage to death on most days but today it was exceptionally nightmare inducing.

“I wasn’t sneaking by. I was simply walking to my office.” He answers curly, not giving even a glance to Ben, his expression still souring into deadpan one.

“You should take your coffee with some milk, you are awfully bitter in the morning.” Ben sniggers, amused at his joke.

“You're the one who is quite giddy today. Did the board meeting yesterday go that well?” But Armitage is ready to fire back right at him.

“Nah, not really.” This finally got Ben to shut up and Armitage to go about his morning in silence.

******************

“I didn’t think you were the type to go crazy over a woman.” Ben’s laugh is loud and childish, echoing on the open walls of the main hall between offices.

“Don’t be ridiculous.” The look he gave to Ben was one of his favorites, offended and beyond believe irritated. It was a perfect illusion for him to uphold, ‘cause in reality Hux’s mind was in a midst of complete panic but still he kept on his killer pace to his office, maybe to lose Ben in the big space where the rest of the desk of their subordinates was located.

How much does he know?

This thought however, stopped Armitage in his walk, contemplating if he should address it more. And finally where he was sure his tongue wouldn’t twist itself in his mouth when he spoke of you, he turned around.

“You talk like a cartoon villain, you know that, right?.” Ben’s tall form was not leaning on the side of one of the tables , his gaze partly fixed at his phone before it’s lifted to assess the redhead’s reaction. It was deliberate, it was all planned out, a humiliating and uncomfortable situation Ben could trap him in easily, to get all the answers he wanted.

Now he knew he couldn’t win against that ridiculous giant, this was always a losing game. If he took it too seriously Ben would admit to only be joking, trying to get a rise out of him, if he continued to ridicule or ignore his questions Ben would only tease him more, a truly lost game in Armitage’s eyes. “God, please go and do your job.” But still he could try to collect any advantage he could get his hands on, the advantage being taking everything and shutting himself in his office until the end of the day.

-collects all his things and gets up to leave

“I am working.” Ben’s cheerful voice still followed him, digging into his back in a teasing manner. “No, You are not!” Armitage was aware how his voice boomed through the office making some employees turn their heads over the ruckus but Ben was quite oblivious to his friend’s voice’s effect. He actually couldn’t help but laugh at his friend for moments still unaware of the attention he was given by his colleagues hidden among the various desks in that room. However, even Ben was deemed to notice the confused look he was given by one of the younger secretaries over the small cubicle wall.

“Sorry.” His hands flew up in an apology or a manner that reminded most of them of surrender, before he decided to lift himself up from the desk and proceed to an elevator. Ben of course caught a glimpse of her, so familiar brown haired woman who was already entering one of the elevators. Feeling his chance, Ben's quick walking, caused by his slight embarrassment from the situation prior, turned into jogging when he thought he was already out of sight for the rest of his colleagues.

“Hi.” The elevator was empty except for the said brown haired woman, she looked pretty, exceptionally pretty. Well, she always looked beautiful and so to level the playing field, Ben put on one of his charming smiles before he glanced her way.

**************************

“You should ask her out.” This was coldly stated in the midst of conversation about going for a drink since both of the men’s projects were going to finish soon. The sentence positively stunning Armitage into a statue with a cold sweat pooling slowly down his back while his dark haired counterpart continued to munch on his sandwich.

“Ask her out or I will.” This time those words were slurred between Ben finishing the prelast bite and attempting to stuff the rest of the sandwich in his mouth. Ben’s tall form was stashed between the seating area and one of the tables, he was crunched over but no one of it helped to not make him stand out in the crowd of eating people with his broad shoulders. Ben always towered over everyone, except over Phasma from accounting actually, but everyone else was a victim to his high stature. It was almost comical just as his words. Still, Armitage fumbled with his hands, dropping from one the document he was reading while not being able to control the other, his grip on the sandwich slipping until it unceremoniously slammed in his lap and into the napkin he thankfully unfolded on it.

“What?“

“Ask her out or I-”“I heard you the first time.” Ben was used to Armitage’s cruel remarks or even interruptions but this was the first time he did so with such a vigor.

“Why did you ask then?” There was a knowing smirk painted on his lips, the redhead falling into his trap one more time.

“I know you won’t ask her out.” This confused Ben greatly. What did he mean? The dark haired man adored teasing his pale friend on a daily basis but it was almost unheard of Armitage opposing him. He did attempt to oppose several times and it was not exactly as playful as Ben wished for, usually it consisted of Hux reminding him to get back to work and where is the fun in that? But this time, this time Armitage had something on Ben and he absolutely didn’t like it.

“Rey wouldn’t like that, would she now?” What was left of the knowing smirk on Ben’s face disappeared seconds after those words were muttered into the air between the two men. This time it was Ben who was left with red cheeks and ears, absolutely flabbergasted and fumbling hands with the wrappers of his now gone lunch.

************************

Armitage didn’t even realize how organized you were but now that he had the chance to see inside your office he was lost for words. Who would have thought someone like you would have neatly organized folders with color marked projects and spreadsheets for time management not only for your team but your work.

“You are awfully organized.” He truly was in awe at how your space looked.

“Thanks?”

“I expected to find a battlefield in your office but it’s- surprisingly tiddy?” He didn’t mean tiddy, he meant a perfect, absolutely and adoringly perfect environment for him to exist, something that almost seems to be made just for him.

“That’s kinda rude, Armitage.” He was not known for making a lot of people laugh, maybe Ben but it was more of a laugh at his own account, with you it was somehow ridiculously easy, apparently.

“I was complimenting you.” He objects, trying to defend his honor, it was not in his intentions to come off as rude as it might have seemed.

“Sure.”

Again with the laugh.

“You should take it as a compliment. Organized people are h-,” he paused, gulping down his words until it weighed heavy in his stomach,”good.”

“Good?” There was a suspicious smirk playing on your lips as if you knew what he wanted to say but Armitage almost sure you had no clue, you simply wanted to tease him a bit more.

But God, what if you did catch his misstep? No, surely you didn’t. He gave you one more questioning look to make sure you were none the wiser.

“Yes.” He had to clear his throat, to compose himself a bit by bit but there was an unbearable weight at his chest, almost too consuming. “For business. Organized people are known to be very reliable and hardworking employees.”

Yes, good. They are good. I totally didn’t mean hot. Because organized women are totally not absolutely hot. And I totally just didn’t realize it’s a thing for me. Ha ha. Please, act normal.

Armitage’s brain must have looked like a scrambled egg now, trying to unravel all his thoughts into a coherent solid state so he could function properly while unsuccessfully avoiding all his thoughts involving you and this office.

“Found it.” You held up a blue folder with a little yellow sticky note poking out of the main pages.

Oh, yes, the scripts for the main document, that’s what brought the two of you inside your office. That’s why he was now stuck between walls adored with shelves upon which sat dozens of cute plants. A complete opposite of his office but very cozy, it was obvious you decorated the room with a clear idea of making it a positive and comfortable environment. The purple sofa in the corner ideal for-

Yep, Armitage was fully aware he was fucked.

Save Me - Kylo Ren / Ben Solo X GN Reader

Title: Save Me

Kylo Ren / Ben Solo X GN Reader

Additional Characters: Rey, Luke (Mentioned), and Leia (Mentioned),

Requested

WC: 5,198

Warnings: Mention of blood, mention of death, yelling, fighting, threats, very long, and huge angst with a happy ending

You stood in the middle of a clearing, eyes closed. Your lightsaber pulsed in your hand, and you held it tighter. You took a deep breath, before you spun around, holding your lightsaber in a fighting stance. Letting out the breath, you swung your lightsaber, slicing through the air. As you practiced, you tried to remember what Luke had taught you. You remembered him telling you to practice and to always be ready for anything.

You moved gracefully around the clearing, eyes remaining close as you did your deadly dance. You sliced through the air, occasionally feeling the heat of your saber near your face. The Jedi training was now nothing but a memory, though even though you thought about Luke's teachings, you still couldn't help but feel uneasy. You knew you wouldn't be ready without him. You couldn't teach yourself. Though, as you swung and moved, you couldn't help but feel at peace. You could feel one with the force.

But, that didn't stop you from trying every day. You practiced and practiced until you were sore. It wasn't easy to train when you had no one there with you to spar with, or at least watch over you while you did your practice. So, you just kept on doing it alone, knowing you would have to do everything by yourself.

As you swung your saber to the side, you stood up straight, breathing heavily. You finally opened your eyes. Rey stood there, hands on her hips.

"You're getting better." She spoke, and you sighed, sheathing your lightsaber and hooking it to your pants.

"It won't be enough." You muttered, wiping your forehead of sweat with the back of your hand.

"You're a very talented fighter, Y/N. You're better than me." Rey stated, walking closer to you, smiling warmly. "I can tell how much you care about getting stronger."

"It's not about getting stronger. I have to always be ready... For anything." You said, looking down.

Rey nodded, understanding before she looked to the sky.

"You feel that?" She asked and you paused, feeling the force course through you.

You felt something. Something was coming.

"Yeah... I feel it."

Rey turned to you, "I have to warn the others. You know what to do."

You nodded, your eyes hardening. Soon the trees around you moved as the wind picked up. A large ship flew over, landing in the field. It wasn't a Resistance ship. No... It was The First Order.

You grabbed your lightsaber, holding it firmly in your hand as you walked to the edge of the field. You watched as the ship's ramp lowered. Troopers marched down in pairs, stopping in a line, holding their blasters. Your eyes widened slightly as their leader, Kylo Ren walked down the ramp, his black cape flowing in the wind. You felt an overwhelming sense of dread and death flow from him. His force aura was strong... Powerful...

What was he doing here?

Kylo stopped only a couple of feet from you, tall, dark, menacing. He stared at you, you could feel it through his helmet. You felt your heart beat faster as you continued to stare right back at him. The troopers moved their guns, ready to fire. Kylo raised his hand, stopping them from firing.

"Surrender, and your friends won't get hurt." He spoke, his voice was robotic as it traveled through his mask.

You fixed your stance, tightening your grip on your saber. "Sure, like I'd trust the bad guy." You spat back defiantly.

His eyes narrowed, "The First Order is not who you think it is. We are here to protect our people. To restore order."

"And you think I'm the threat? Do you think the Resistance is a threat? We are here to bring peace and balance to the force once again." You argued.

"Peace and Balance are old ways. They've been destroyed." Kylo spoke, stepping closer to you.

You glared at the man, "Peace and balance can never be destroyed so long as you have hope." You spoke and Kylo initiated his lightsaber.

You observed his saber, glowing red. You racked your brain with questions. Who made his lightsaber? You concluded that Kylo used a cracked Kyber crystal, making his saber more ragged and unstable in appearance.

"Last chance, surrender or die." He spoke, threateningly, but you didn't back down. You kept on staring at him, your eyes focused on his mask.

"Not going to happen." You seethed, activating your saber beside you.

He growled, "Then prepare to meet your end!"

"Nah, I think I'll pass." You countered.

Kylo ran towards you, swinging his saber, but you blocked it. The two blades clashed against each other, sparks flying between the two of you. You were too quick for Kylo, dodging his swings easily. Frustrated, he swung again, narrowly missing you as you leaned back as the saber passed over you. You could feel the heat of the lightsaber against your skin.

"Come on..." You grumbled under your breath. "Is that the best you can do?"

He hesitated before speaking, which gave you a small amount of satisfaction.

"I should ask you the same."

You glared, moving forward, and you swung your blade. Kylo blocked it, as he gave the signal for his troopers to move in.

"No!" You yelled, eyes frantic as you continued to hold Kylo off. "You can't do this."

"What does it matter?" Kylo said, hitting your saber again. "They'll all die anyway."

"We aren't all going to die! I swear until my last breath that I am going to end the First Order." You threatened, your voice cracking.

Kylo smirked, "Good luck with that."

With a snarl, Kylo swung his saber, aiming at your chest. You shifted your body, putting your saber up and blocking it. Kylo pushed down, getting closer to you. You grabbed your saber with your other hand, forcing his saber up and off with a grunt.

You stepped away, breathing heavily, holding your saber in defense. A trooper of his rushed over suddenly, out of breath.

"Sir, we're outnumbered." He spoke, and Kylo turned to him.

"Go to the ship, we'll recuperate at the base." He growled, before looking at you once more, sheathing his lightsaber and turning away.

You watched as the troopers rushed past you, rushing up the ramp, Kylo walking up, hooking his saber to his belt. You smirked, sheathing your own saber, you crossed your arms, pivoting your balance to one side. Kylo stood at the entrance of the ship, looking at you as you wiggled your fingers teasingly his way. Growling, Kylo clenched his fist, his leather gloves crinkling.

Closing his eyes, he tried to get into your mind. To try and find out who you were. But you easily blocked him. Marching his way to the main cabin, Kylo slammed his hand down on the desk, startling one of his workers.

"Find whatever you can on this person." He demanded, pointing out the front windows toward you, still standing at the edge of the field, watching as the ship slowly lifted into the air.

"Yes, sir."

~~~

You watched as the ship flew away, once you couldn't see it anymore you finally let out a huge sigh. Rey rushed out and stopped beside you, placing her hand on your shoulder. You suddenly closed your eyes, holding your head. You could feel Kylo trying to get into your mind. You quickly pushed him back, and breathed deeply.

"Are you okay?" Rey asked.

You shook your head, "Uh, yeah. What about everyone else?"

"Yes, they are fine. Only a few injuries." Rey answered, patting your shoulder.

Looking up into the sky, you sighed. "He's going to come back."

Rey nodded, "Yes, but we'll be stronger. He won't stop us."

"I hope you're right."

~~~

"Sir, I got something." The worker spoke and Kylo walked over.

"Who are they?" He asked, and the worker cleared their throat.

"Their name is Y/N L/N, they used to be a lightsaber architect before the Resistance weakened. They created and constructed lightsabers to help teach younglings. Before that, they lived on Tatooine with their parents until they were killed by the Empire when they were young. They survived by thievery and later fixing up old speeders. They are force-sensitive and was found by Skywalker where they were taught the Jedi ways before the temple burned down. They then joined the Resistance and started creating sabers." The man spoke and Kylo narrowed his eyes on the screen.

"It also says here that their great grandfather created Darth Vader's lightsaber." He finished, now this information surprised Kylo.

"Send this to my data pad." He spoke and the worker nodded, sending the information to Kylo.

Kylo stomped his way to his chambers, sitting down in a large black leather chair. Clasping his hands together, he crossed his legs, thinking. He hadn’t thought about you in a long time. You were strong. Very strong with the force. Just like Rey. But, Kylo saw something different in you. Maybe it was your attitude. Or maybe it was your stubbornness. Whatever it was, Kylo knew that you would need to be taught. And that's exactly what he planned to do. He would convince you and bring you to the Order. He would teach you to become a fearless, and powerful fighter.

As Kylo thought, he realized that there was something that drew him in. Just like the force, you had some aura about you. Some power that was unlike any other. He knew that if he didn't have you in his ranks, then the Republic would surely rise in power. His door to his chambers opened, a trooper walking in.

"Sir, we're landing at the base." He spoke, informing the commander.

"Good, leave me." He spoke, and the trooper nodded, bowing before he left, the doors slid closed once more.

Pulling up the information about you on his data pad, Kylo stared at your profile picture.

You're just like me, he thought, zooming in on the picture. You both fought for what you wanted. You didn't back down. You stood your ground. You were powerful... Intimidating.

Kylo smiled as he looked down at his pad.

"Y/N L/N." He whispered, his lips curling into a smile. "If you're to join the Order, it will be my pleasure to train you, and… To see you again."

~~~

"We're moving bases?" You asked Rey as people around you packed everything up in the base, setting it in three heavy frigates.

"Are you saying we should stay?" Rey asked and you nodded, following her as she checked off things on her list.

"I'm saying that we should stay a little longer. I don't have a good feeling about this." You spoke, biting your lip.

Rey paused what she was doing, "There aren't any more resources on this planet to help us... We're going to Crait."

"Crait? What possible resources do they have there?" You asked, knowing Crait was just a small salt planet.

Rey huffed, "The base there has the resources." She explained and you looked up at her.

"What kind of resources?" You questioned.

Rey frowned, "Well... food especially, and medical supplies. There is a lot of technology on that base."

You nodded, "Okay. So when are we leaving?" You asked, glancing around the room.

"Tonight."

You continued to worry on your bottom lip, Rey sighed, rubbing your back.

"You'll be fine. He's far. If we're lucky, he won't be back for a while." She reassured you, and you nodded, taking a deep breath.

"Thank you." You mumbled, smiling a bit.

"For what?"

You shrugged, "For helping me."

Rey smiled and nodded, before rushing off. Your smile faltered and you rushed to your room, grabbing your bag and packing up your stuff. You felt uneasy. You knew Kylo wouldn't give up that easily. He'd go after the Resistance. And you were ready to face him no matter what happened.

~~~

You pulled back, lightsaber warming the side of your face. As you breathed out, you swung your blade, slashing through the air. It had been a long month on the planet Crait. There was nothing to do except practice and help Rey and her friends. But, you are still worried. The wind picked up, the smell of the planet's salt wafted into the air. You finished practicing and turned off your saber, looking at it. Tossing it in your hand, you flipped it into the air, catching it. Smiling, you had an idea.

Rushing inside the base, you went to one of the workrooms. Shoving items and objects out of your way, you placed your bag and lightsaber on the table. You hadn't made or constructed a lightsaber in a long time, but you were excited to do it again. Taking out your tools, you grabbed your magnify-glasses. Grabbing your first tool, you began to take your lightsaber apart. Looking through the lenses, you could see the components, the wires, the circuitry. You carefully took them out, placing them on the table.

Slowly, you grabbed your Kyber crystal with your tweezers. You placed it on the table, and began working. You grabbed your protective glasses, you began to work on adding a few... Upgrades. You worked for hours, and hours. It was early morning when you finally finished. You placed and secured the final metal piece. You let out a huge sigh, completely tired, and slightly delirious. You cleaned up your workplace and grabbed your saber. You dragged your feet to your room and fell into your bed, instantly falling asleep.

~~~

"Y/N!"

You woke up when you heard your name, rubbing your eyes as you yawned. Rey stood by your bed, eyes widened.

"What?" You asked and Rey frowned.

"He's here. I need you to distract him. I have a plan to get his troops trapped in one of the salt pits."

When you heard that Kylo was back, you were instantly awake. Hopping out of the bed and grabbing your saber, you quickly rushed out of the room and out to the entrance of the base.

Kylo watched from the ramp as the base's huge metal door lifted, vulptices rushed out of the base; disappearing from sight as their salty coat shimmered in the light. As the door lifted further, you stood there, holding your lightsaber by your side. The both of you walked forward towards each other. The base's door shut loudly, echoing. Merely feet from each other, the two of you didn't speak for a long time.

"You should surrender." He spoke, and you sighed.

"Are we really going back to this? I'm not surrendering." You spoke with a roll of your eyes.

Kylo smirked, "Why not? You've given up on so many things, Y/N. Why not give up on this too?"

Filled with confusion, you tilted your head slightly. "What are you talking about?"

Kylo stepped closer, "You gave up on saving your friend… From the temple."

Eyes widening for a moment, you glared at the man, writing your teeth.

"How do you know about that? I cou;dn’t do anything, I was a kid." You spoke, roughly.

He stepped closer, "You had the force. You could've done something." He spoke and you growled.

"You are not tricking me into thinking his death was my fault. I have lived with the idea of that, but I know it wasn't my fault. It was the Empire's fault." You spoke coldly, looking away from him.

"So, you decided to join the Resistance instead of avenging him?" He asked, and you looked back at him.

"What?" You said, confused.

"What would joining the Empire or the Order do about my dead best friend? Nothing! But, joining the rebellion would save more lives than I could ever imagine. That's why I joined." You spoke and Kylo stopped, tilting his head. "I'm not an idiot, Kylo."

No, you weren't, he thought.

"You are more like me than you think." He spoke and you laughed bitterly.

"Really? I think that your helmet is cutting off your brain's circulation." You spat.

"And yet, you don't deny it." Kylo retorted, and you scoffed.

"I am not like you, Kylo. I don't kill people because they don't want to kneel before me." You spoke, and he glared.

"Do you think I care? I want to rule the galaxy, to defeat the last Jedi, and bring balance to the force." He spat angrily.

"Doing that won't bring you anything." You replied, and Kylo raised his eyebrows.

"How do you know that?" He asked and you shrugged.

"Darth Vader wanted the same thing, and from what I heard... He failed."

Igniting his saber, he growled. Lighting yours, you lit both ends, showing off your new double-bladed lightsaber. You watched as Kylo hesitated before speaking.

"Added an upgrade, I see?" He gestured to your saber with his.

"Yeah. I needed some change in my life." You replied, not looking at him as you swung your lightsaber expertly in the air, catching it and spinning it around with ease.

"A double blade will only slow you down, Y/N. It will not help you win against me." He warned.

"Oh, really?" You replied, and he smirked.

You both charged at each other, your lightsabers flashing in the sunlight. Kylo slashed, swinging his saber towards you. You dodged and blocked, moving your hands and feet. For a moment, the two of you were locked in a dance, both of you trying to get the upper hand on the other. Kylo grinned as he saw you start to lose your concentration.

Taking a step forward, Kylo swung his saber towards you, aiming for your chest. You stepped backwards, dodging the blow easily, but lost your grip on your saber, dropping it onto the salty ground. Eyes wide, you backed away, but Kylo followed.

"You have so much to learn." He spoke, before taking off his helmet and tossing it to the side.

You were amazed by how beautiful he was, with his black wavy hair, and deep brown eyes. He looked so similar. But you quickly pushed that out of your mind, glaring at the man before you.

"I can teach you." He continued.

"I don't want your teachings." You snapped, before jumping up and kicking Kylo's lightsaber out of his hands. Using the force, sending it flying in the direction of the salt pit.

"That's right. You shouldn't need that anymore." You spoke with a smirk, and Kylo sneered.

He wanted to wipe that smirk off your lips, one way or another.

"I'm going to show you pain." He snarled, charging at you.

Swiftly, you moved out of the way, avoiding his blow and dodging his fist, spinning around you and pushing him away.

"You have no chance against me, Y/N." Kylo spoke, and you rolled your eyes.

"Oh, I think you'll be surprised."

Kylo tried to grab you, but you used the force to knock him over. He landed hard on the ground, groaning. Picking himself up, he charged at you again. Quickly, you jumped out of his way, using the force to lift yourself into the air gracefully.

"Impressive." Kylo said, watching you float back down.

As the two of you moved, the red soil underneath the salty ground emerged, creating beautiful, but deadly art. You swing your fist, but Kylo grabbed your wrist. Trapped in his grasp, you tried to pull away, but you couldn't. Looking up at the man, you noticed his smug grin and narrowed your eyes. In a quick move, Kylo whipped you around, spinning you out as if you were dancing and into his chest.

"You're stronger than you look." He spoke, watching as you tried to figure out a way to get out of the situation.

"It's time to end this, Y/N." He spoke, and you nodded, getting an idea.

"Then, let's make it memorable." You replied, leaning up quickly and pressing your lips against his, holding his face in your hands.

Kylo's eyes widened, shock and surprise written all over his face as you pulled away. While he was distracted, you grabbed your lightsaber with the force and ran back to the giant base door, sliding under it as it went up and slowly closed. Kylo cursed under his breath, grabbing his saber and helmet with the force as well, stomping his way towards his ship. As the ship's doors closed, Kylo raged, looking around.

"Where are my knights?" He demanded, and a worker spoke up.

"They were lured into the salt pits, sir." He spoke, and Kylo growled.

Rushing off to his chambers, Kylo slashed the walls with his lightsaber, destroying everything in sight. Rage consumed him, but he pushed it away. Focusing on the mission ahead, he sat down and activated his comlink.

"I want everyone focused on bringing Y/N L/N in."

Kylo collapsed in his slightly murdered chair, running his hand through his hair. He tried to close his eyes, but all he saw was you. The kiss... Your body pressed against his...

"Focus on the mission, Kylo." He told himself sternly, opening his eyes.

~~~

You slid down the heavy door, breathing heavily. You raised your hand, touching your lips with the tips of your fingers. You felt dizzy, your heart racing, your face red with a fierce blush. Who was he? He was so familiar. The way he looked at you. Deep down, you felt as if you should’ve known who he was. You looked at your hand, before pushing yourself up and rushing to your room. Before you could get to your room though, Rey stopped you in the hall.

"Great job out there. Whatever you did kept him away long enough for us to take down his troopers." She smiled, patting your shoulder.

"Thank you." You breathed, smiling back at her.

You didn't want to tell her what you did to succeed though.

"You go get some rest. You deserve it."

"Thanks." You smiled, nodding your head and walking into your room. You leaned back onto the bed, closing your eyes. Your thoughts wandered to Kylo, and your cheeks flushed. You replayed the moment in your mind, and your heart pounded harder. You shouldn't feel this way towards him.

But you liked it.

You loved it.

~~~

It had been a few months since your 'dance battle' per se with Kylo. You had almost forgotten what had happened that day... Almost. It still lingered in the back of your mind at times. You and the Resistance moved to Tatooine. Where you were traveling through the small town, trudging through the sandy roads as you made it to a cantina. But, then you stopped. You felt uneasy. Something from the force was telling you that something was wrong.

You looked around but saw nothing, you shrugged to yourself and continued walking.When you passed an alleyway, you felt a sharp sting on the side of your neck. Hissing, you clutched your neck, feeling a small dart. Pulling it out, you stared at it before you began to lose your vision, and slowly slipped out of consciousness.

~~~

You groaned, the light behind your eyes already blinding you. You didn't want to open them, but you had to. Opening them, you found yourself strapped to a slightly tilted table. You tried to sit up, but you instantly fell back down.

"Don't move." A voice spoke, and you blinked a few times. You recognized that voice. Kylo.

"Where am I?"

"My base." He spoke and you glared at the man.

"How did you find me?"

"I have my ways." He spoke, and you narrowed your eyes.

"Why am I here?" You asked, straining against the wraps on your arms and wrists.

"You're here because I want answers, Y/N."

You rolled your eyes. "You already know that I am here, so you know where our base is. You don't need me. Can I go now?" You tried and Kylo frowned.

"That's not what I wanted to ask. Where is Skywalker?" He demanded, and you rolled your eyes.

"Who? Who's Skywalker?"

"Are you serious? Luke Skywalker!" He roared, and you glared.

"Mmm, no I don't think I know who that is..." You spoke, sounding very bored.

"You know where he is, Y/N." He growled, and you sighed.

"Fine. I'll tell you, but you have to let me go." You spoke softly, and he shook his head.

"No." He replied, and you groaned.

"Then I guess I can't help you."

"I know where your friends are..." He spoke, and you nodded.

"Very well. Then I suggest you untie me, so that we might continue our conversation." You spoke calmly, and he seemed to consider what you just said.

Kylo ignored you, staring at you as you stared at him. He had a look in his eyes, as he looked at you. You didn't like that look. It unnerved you.

"What is it?" You asked, looking back at him.

"I want to know-"

You sighed, annoyed, "I told you, I don't know where Luke is-" You interrupted him.

"Not that..." He spoke softly.

His mind was racing as was his heart.

"I want to know why you kissed me." Kylo spoke, and you turned bright red.

He wanted to know if you kissed him because you remembered, or not.

"I had to distract you somehow. By the way... It worked, all your troopers fell for the pit trap." You smirked and Kylo glared down at you.

Kylo narrowed his eyes as he looked at you. Using the force he let himself into your mind. You couldn't fight it, you were too weak from the tranquilizer dart. Searching in your mind, he smirked when he found what he wanted.

"Get... Out of my head." You seethed, eyes clenched shut as you hissed in pain. "Stop it! What do you want?!" You yelled, trying to push out of the way. Kylo grabbed your chin, forcing you to look at him.

"You." He growled, and you rolled your eyes.

"What are you even talking about?"

"I want you to join me. My reign will begin once Skywalker is gone."

"That's not happening." You spat back, glaring at him.

Kylo chuckled darkly before speaking, "Ah, but you wouldn't say that if you knew what was in store for you."

Moving your chin from his grasp you looked at him skeptically. "Like what?"

Kylo hummed, "You and I can rule the universe together. Not let anyone stand in our way."

Kylo moved closer to you, moving his lips to your ear.

"Surrender, Y/N. Join me."

You shuddered as you felt his hot breath on your neck. "No."

Kylo sighed, "I give you one last chance to join me."

You said nothing, turning away from him with a frown.

He scoffed, "I should've let you die... But I chose to protect you." He spoke and you turned to him with a confused expression.

"What?" You asked and Kylo turned back to you, glaring.

"You don't remember? I thought taking off my helmet would've helped you."

Staring at the man before you, you looked at his hair, to his brown eyes, to his freckles, and his nose. Slowly, the puzzle pieces formed together, and you remembered.

~~~

Everything was on fire. Smoke filled the temple, entering your lungs, making your cough. You couldn't see anything but flames. You coughed as you ran through the burning building, trying to find where everyone was. Around you, the other children were dead, either from the smoke or some other deadly weapon. You searched for some way out, feeling weaker and weaker as time went on. You had to find Ben, but you couldn't find him, he was gone. Your best friend was missing and you assumed the worst. Tears streamed down your face as you screamed for someone to help.

"Help!" You shouted, leaning down to cough. "There's no one else here! Please, somebody, help me!"

You suddenly felt someone grab you by the arm and pull you from the temple and through the halls and finally into the open air. You coughed wildly, holding your neck.

"B... Ben?" You stuttered, looking up at your best friend before you.

Ben held onto your hand, breathing heavily. He had blood dripping from his lip, and his clothes were charred.

You smiled, wiping the tears from your eyes. "I'm glad you're okay." You whispered, and Ben shook his head.

"I'm not." Your smile immediately vanished.

"What?"

Ben sighed, looking off at the burning temple. "I'm not okay. I don't think I ever was." He muttered, wiping his bloody mouth.

"I... I don't understand... Ben-" He suddenly ran off, into the woods.

~~~

You never saw Ben after that night. After he left, you thought the worst. That he was hurt, or worse. You waited for weeks, going over every detail of that night, hoping he would come back. But, he never did. Luke had found you and sent you to his sister's, where you stayed for the years to come.

With tears in your eyes, you looked up at Kylo... No... Ben. His dark hair fell in his eyes. Ben's eyes were the same as Kylo's, but his were warm and kind, unlike Kylo's now cold gaze.

"Ben..."

"I'm not him anymore." He growled and you frowned.

"What do you mean?" You asked quietly, and he turned to you.

"The person you knew is gone."

"What are you saying? Kylo killed him?" You bitterly joked, and Ben nodded his head.

"I did." You shook your head, dropping your head to your chest.

"No, no you didn't. You are still Ben. You saved me. You took me to safety." You spoke, looking back up at him. "But I know now, I should've seen what you were going through. I'm sorry." You bowed your head, and Ben exhaled sharply.

"No... You are wrong. You did save me." He spoke, and you looked up at him.

"How did I save you, Kylo. You've killed so many people." You whispered, and he turned away.

His mind was telling him to fight, to find Skywalker no matter what and get rid of him. Take over the galaxy. But… His heart begged you to save him.

"But... That doesn't mean that you can't change... You can still be Ben. I know he is still there inside you. I can help you find the person you once were." You whispered, and Kylo looked at you, tears in his own eyes.

"I don't think I can. I've caused too much anguish and pain."

You sighed, smiling slightly. "I know you can go back to the light, Ben."

He looked away, shaking his head. “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry.”

"We can do this together. Like we used to."

Ben stayed silent for a long time, before walking to you and untying you. You hopped down and immediately wrapped your arms around him. He hesitantly wrapped his own arms around you, pulling you close. Leaning down, he nuzzled his head into your neck, wetting your shoulder with his tears. You shushed him gently, raking your hand through his hair.

"We'll do this together."
