[darthvaderfanboy]

I'll be there in ten minutes.

[It might be quicker if he used a moped, but he refuses to use one of those affronts to his dignity.]

[perma action]

[mismanagement]

[Though she's long since sobered up since the incident with Hux, Maketh's temper hasn't cooled. She's only suppressed it, kept it safely under the surface so she can think effectively. Something must be done. That's been made clear. But she needs to do it properly

She's in uniform when Kylo arrives and partially armored. Her suit isn't complete and she had to cannibalize several components to finish the weapon she promised. Either way, he might recognize the design. Mandalorian armor always was distinctive.

She eyes him up and down, then nods just once.]

Good. You're here.

Re: [perma action]

[darthvaderfanboy]

[Kylo arrives, clad as he usually is in his robes and mask. He recognizes the distinctive pattern of the armor. There has to be a story behind that. Maybe he'll ask her after she gives him what she promised.]

Do you have it?

[He's forever eager to gain more power and obtain the perfection that eludes him in the Dark Side.]

[mismanagement]

Yes.

[It's not Imperial made, but it will do. Maketh takes the pike in both hands, shifting into stance before activating it. The weapon sparks.

Then, quite calmly, she tosses it to Kylo. Mostly to see if he can figure out how to grab it without electrocuting himself.]

[He finally had his own room and his own bed once more. He had thought he was used to small living quarters but living with Kylo Ren seemed to make everything feel even more cramped.

He smiled as he stretched out, wrapping the blankets around himself comfortably. The room was quiet and still which meant he should be able to rest peacefully. He had always struggled with insomnia for almost his entire life but tonight felt too quiet. He glanced at his blaster that he had laid on the bedside table but he doubted he would ever need it. Anakin and Ren would most likely detect and take care of any dangers before he could do anything.

It was still too quiet. It was ridiculous and he rolled over and shut his eyes, trying to will himself to sleep. It was more difficult to sleep when he wasn't exhausted but he had started to drift off when he heard a quiet noise from the bedroom door.

All his life Hux had been a light sleeper so he was instantly awake, listening to the footsteps approaching. He waited a few more moments before grabbing his blaster and rolling over suddenly, trying to see in the dark.]

Ren?

[He didn't lower the blaster when he recognized the figure looming over his bed.]

You are not stealing my blankets.

Re: action

[darthvaderfanboy]

[Kylo had been more than grateful to finally be in a larger apartment. The last one had just been too small to contain the personalities of both him and Hux together. Their last explosive fight had proven that. Now they were in a new one with Anakin, and finally, he was able to have his own room again after almost three months of sharing a bed with the general he hated. It was smaller than his chambers on the Finalizer, but anything was better than fighting like cats and dogs every night for covers. He still had some fading bite marks.

When he fell into bed that night, he was prepared to fall asleep quickly. He'd never had any problems before, always usually exhausted after a day of training. Here, Ahsoka, Anakin, and even Maketh had kept him busy. But he just couldn't get comfortable. It was too quiet and he kept rolling over, expecting to feel a pair of ice-cold feet on his own. When he realized what was happening, there was only one solution for it. He couldn't believe the lunacy that made him creep up the stairs and to Hux's room.

He'd been expecting Hux to shoot at him and wasn't disappointed. He was a soldier to the bone. Automatically, he drew his own weapon. The glow from the lightsaber lit up the room in a devilish red, reflecting off of Kylo's dark eyes. He just stood there, unsure of how to proceed, and wondering what temporary insanity had led him to this course of action in the first place.]

It's too quiet.

[He sat down on the edge of the bed, lightsaber still on, blinking owlishly.]

action

[therewillbeorder]

[He didn't flinch when Kylo activated the blade, this was starting as many of their nightly fights went.

What came next, however, wasn't something he expected. He lowered the blaster, staring at Kylo for a few long moments. He knew he should have a mocking retort but he couldn't deny that he had been feeling the same way.

The blaster was slowly placed on the bedside table once more.]

Alright.

[This was madness, he never thought he would even be in this situation. He had never shared a bed with anyone on a nightly basis but he missed the warmth of Kylo's feet. He looked at him for a long moment but he knew he had already made his decision, as bizarre as it seemed.]

But the usual conditions apply. And I'm not explaining this to your grandfather. It was bad enough having to do it once already.

Re: action

[darthvaderfanboy]

[Kylo breathed a sigh of relief when Hux agreed. His lightsaber disappeared with a hiss. He'd been expecting to be shot at, or at the very least, for Hux to come back with a biting remark that would have caused another fight. This was surprising, but in a good way. He set his weapon down next to his pillow and laid down, stealing more of the covers than Hux thought was fair, as he was warrant to. The mention of Anakin made Kylo smirk. He knew they must have seemed like a bizarre pair to his grandfather, fighting, sharing clothes, and generally becoming the epitome of the saying 'It's not what it looks like.']

It's not my fault if he thinks you're not good enough for me.

[Anakin had done everything but give the shovel talk to Hux, which had at first been awkward, but now seemed amusing. It was going to be a hell of an explanation in the morning if he found them in bed together.]

action

[therewillbeorder]

[Hux sharply yanked some of the blankets back towards himself with determination. He wasted no time in pressing his cold feet against Kylo's, satisfied. This was much better.]

It's alright, I know in reality that it's the other way around.

[He said with amusement as he held onto the blankets tightly, refusing to give up so much as an inch. Kylo was physically stronger than him but Hux had other ways of getting the upper hand. He was sure Kylo still had the bite marks to prove it.]

I'm meeting Maketh at her apartment, Spire 1. Room 301. I should be back by tonight. She has information on a weapon that we may have use for.

[It's always good to be prepared when someone wants to kill you.]

Text

[darthvaderfanboy]

Alright. If I don't hear back from you, I'll assume this was a clever ploy to assassinate you, and retaliate in turn.

Text

[therewillbeorder]

Thank you. It's an unnecessarily complex ploy but I'm still wary of trusting her to this degree.

[darthvaderfanboy]

I don't trust her either. But she hasn't attempted to kill me yet. That counts for something.

[therewillbeorder]

Of course she hasn't. You could snap her neck without thinking about it and she knows that. You also didn't destroy an entire star system and you're not the son of someone she hates.

[therewillbeorder]

[Every night since their break up had been cold and lonely. Their room became his room again but he still found himself hugging Kylo's pillow every night. He hated feeling so weak and emotional but it still hurt.

He lay awake in bed thinking about what Maketh had told him, that this was supposedly normal for couples. He had never seen a normal relationship- growing up in the middle of the Imperial military in the Unknown Regions had deprived him of that. He hated to admit it but she may be right- he had to apologize and try to mend things.

He wasn't going to be able to sleep, it was 3 am but he was wide awake. He had two peaches by the side of his bed- Anakin had a talent for finding fresh fruit. It wasn't much of a peace offering but it was what he had as he headed out of his room and to Kylo's room.

He paused at the door, lifting his hand but didn't knock right away. He was taking a risk by approaching Kylo, there was a chance that things were broken too far beyond repair and he would get the door slammed in his face. But he had to try or else he would never know for certain so with a deep breath he knocked on the door.]

[darthvaderfanboy]

[Sharing space with Hux without actually being with him had been pure torture for Kylo Ren. They pretty much avoided each other throughout the day, which hurt, but was bearable. But the nights were the worst, Kylo's long frame curled up in bed, longing for the feeling of Hux in his arms again, a pair of ice-cold feet being warmed up on his.

He wanted to say sorry, but he didn't even know where to start with it. Hux had clearly wanted things to end, so how could he go back and tell him that he'd made a huge mistake? No, it was better this way, to be sad and alone then go groveling back to someone who didn't care for him anymore.

He was in his room, idly wondering what Hux would think about the mess he'd made with his dirty clothes when he heard a knock at the door. At this time, there was only one person it could be. Kylo focused on the door and it opened of its own volition. His face remained impenetrable when he saw Hux standing there, though his heart began to beat out of his chest. He kept his voice level as he asked.]

What do you want?

[therewillbeorder]

[For a moment he stood there, debating if he should flee back to his room and deny that he had knocked on Kylo's door. Each second felt like an hour until Kylo opened the door. He wasn't sure what to expect as he looked at Kylo's expression.

At least the door wasn't slammed at his face.]

I have peaches. And I figured we should talk, we can't avoid each other in the house forever.

[Once he spoke the words aloud he regretted it for how desperate it sounded.]

At least take the peaches before you slam the door in my face. [He held out the fruit, deciding that he would give Kylo that option if he wanted.]

[darthvaderfanboy]

[Kylo raised a hand and dragged Hux forward using the Force. Not strictly necessary, but he was still sore about the way things had ended between them, and wanted to prove a point. When Hux was at the end of the bed, Kylo sat up, and took a peach.

He didn't bite into it, instead just staring at Hux with those incredibly dark eyes, waiting for him to speak. He wasn't going to be the one to start talking. Hux had started this and he could very well continue it.]

[therewillbeorder]

You could have just invited me in. [He didn't like being dragged around by the Force but he didn't stop Kylo from taking one of the peaches.

He didn't look away, meeting Kylo's gaze directly.]

I'm not sure how we're supposed to do this. Neither of us like how things are right now.

[He had no idea how to approach this, especially since Kylo wasn't helping.]

[elegant_and_proud]

Are you home right now? I thought I might visit you.

Re: Text

[darthvaderfanboy]

I'm here. With the cats.

[Only Kylo would admit this without any shame whatsoever.]

Text

[elegant_and_proud]

I should be over shortly then.

[Because like hell is she going to use the network for talking about anything concerning the Null.]

I will bring a treat for the cats.

Re: Text

[darthvaderfanboy]

Alright. I'll make some tea.

[She's always struck Kylo as being much more of a tea drinker than coffee. He gets Ravager and Executor off of him, then goes to put the kettle on. They're really not so bad once one gets past their ghastly appearance. It's a rather adept explanation for Kylo himself.]

(Right after this conversation)

Hello, Kylo. Would you be willing to help me make a young boy quite happy?
