WHAM!

Every crew member on the bridge flinched seeing their General being helplessly thrown to the ground and kicked and mocked like an rabid animal that was now defenseless. The assaulter could feel their want to aid the General who tried to crawl away, blood spilling from his nose and mouth leaving puddles of liquid red onto the pristine shiny floor of the Finalizers bridge. Kylo Ren placed his heavily clad foot on the center of the Generals back pushing him back down onto the floor knocking the wind out of him and looking at the ginger splayed out on the floor. A loud chuckle escaped his mouth at the small whimper that the General emitted as the ginger struggled to regain his dignity, but Hux was beaten senseless in front of his men, humiliated and he would be further until Ren saw fit to end it. "Pathetic General. To weak to even fight back." Ren growled out through gritted teeth behind a large sadistic grin that easily set everyone on edge by itself. "Too much of a failure to get up and show everyone he is worth something, that he can hold his own against his co-commander."

Hux was thrown around and beaten some more by Ren until He was curled up on the floor bleeding and gasping for air. The crew stood tense watching their beloved leader being crushed like a bug by the man no one could hope to stand up to alone. To there surprise Hux had been quiet, making sure not to whimper loud enough for anyone to hear or cry out in pain. This had not been the first time this had happened. Kylo kicked Hux in the chest which finally caused him to cry out in pain, Ren was having the time of his life. This was Rens favorite thing to do to grind the man into nothing, and to break him worse than his father ever had.

A small bold shaky voice piped up after Hux cried out, taking everyone including Ren off guard. "L-Leave him alone, Lord Ren.." A equally small fidgety figure stepped out from behind a few officers holding a blaster up and aimed it at Ren. "Leave our General alone." The Lieutenants shaky clammy hands held on tightly to the blaster. Lieutenant Mitaka was in no way brave, but he had been subjected to the Ravens beatings and he sympathized with the General who's hands scrabbled at the floor in a weak attempt to pull himself out of under the knight.

Phasma who was standing at the far side of the bridge took the moment of the Knights confusion to her advantage and pulled the General up and away from him and brought the shaky man over to a few Petty Officers who willingly guarded the General they held most dear. Blaster aloft,  the Captain stalked back over to the sith wanna be. "The Lieutenant is right Lord Ren, you have been...harassing him and hurting him for months and everyone on this ship is done standing by and watching you do this!"

Hux was confused, his crew standing up for him when they could backstab him and take his rank. Hux knew he should have felt angered and embarrassed by this protection, but he was grateful for it, he got a feeling he never felt before but it was like happiness and relief and everything good mixed together, it was like sunshine after a storm on Arkanis. The ginger looked blearily at the the Lieutenant who had pulled in enough courage to start a uprising against Kylo Ren.

Kylo realized he was outnumbered and he quickly retreated, he would not explain to his master why he had massacred the entire crew of the Finalizer. Hux was quickly tended to as soon as Ren left.

"General are you okay?" The captains female monotone voice was now oddly filled with audible concern it was something he'd never heard before, her large armor clad hand was placed carefully on his shoulder.

"Y-Yes..I'm..I'm fine, just shaken up I suppose.." Hux looked down to see the small Lieutenant who was holding him close and breathing shakily against his chest. The man had blood dotting his face, was that his blood? Hux wondered and it was confirmed as another drop of blood fell from his chin and onto the Lieutenants nose. "I-..I appear to be bleeding profusely..please excuse me while I go to the medbay." Hux almost sounded like the scared little Lieutenant still clamped onto him.

Hux pried himself away from the Captain and Lieutenant. suddenly there was a large echo of "NO!" 's sounding throughout the bridge and Hux stood their paralyzed once again. They actually cared if he was going to get ambushed in the hallways by that over grown cry baby either that or pass out from a possible concussion. Hux felt pride in his crew they weren't a bunch of cruel sly weasels and they wanted what was best for their commander. Those were traits that Hux had to respect, and he did. immensely.

Captain Phasma stayed on the bridge to protect the crew members who stood up for Hux while Lieutenant Mitaka and another taller but lanky officer accompanied Hux to the infirmary. Hux was pleased at the protection, but he still didn't know why his crew even cared about him, he was just another part in the machine that was the first order just like the rest of them. Why am I not embarrassed by my weakness? Came another thought swirling around in Hux's head.

Ren was a no show  as the three of them walked to the infirmary. Hux had blood everywhere his face, hands, and all over his uniform. Lieutenant Mitaka was the most supportive in the situation by handing Hux his small handkerchief that had the lieutenants full name embroidered into it and it looked expensive.

"Lieutenant I can't use this..I'll get blood all over it, blood stains." Hux stated handing the handkerchief back to Mitaka.

"Oh..it's quiet alright sir...you'll need it more than me." Mitaka took the handkerchief and started  wiping the blood off of the Generals face, and was it him or was the General blushing? Of course not its just the blood and bruises. The lieutenant convinced himself of that. Mitaka has had that handkerchief for as long as he could remember it was the last thing his mother gave him before she had died. The lieutenant pressed the white cloth to the Generals nose and smiled as he took it and held it against his nose and uttered as small "thank you Lieutenant.."

The doors swished open and the trio walked in doctors immediately swarmed around the General casting protective eyes towards the door which did not go unnoticed by Hux, he would have to ask about that later. Hux was given medicine and the bleeding was stopped from his split lip and nose, he was cleaned off and given a clean uniform to put on. Hux looked like his usual self except for bruises that littered his body along with cuts from Ren tearing at his skin with the force. The General had a hairline fracture on one of his ribs but that didn't stop him, he worked until he was in too much pain, or too tired to. Kylo was in his quarters when he want back. The ginger was dragged into the bed by the man and his clothes were taken off and Kylo laid down next to him.

"You know I do this for a reason, love." Came Kylo's possessive voice which caused Hux to try and back away but a arm was quickly wrapped around him. "They all want you and I have to hurt you so I can show you and them that you are mine. You belong to me.." Hux was silent in response, he hated the ownership The knight made sure to hang over his head. "Say it Armitage."

"You own me..." Kylo loved how soft and quiet Hux's voice got when he was told what to do by him.

"Good." Kylo's hands started to roam over Hux's pale skin, making him involuntarily shiver. They've been through this hundreds of times but it never changed.

"Stop...Kylo I don't like it.." Hux would say it over and over again but still he went on and Hux would endure it until it was over, he thought he deserved this, that this was his punishment for his weakness. Armitage knew he was filthy and it was never going to change for him.

"It wasn't so bad was it Hux?" Kylo panted and kissed the back of his trembling lovers neck. "Your body liked it, I can sense it all Hux. You don't have to be so timid about it."

"I didn't like it! I n-never do! I want–" Hux never got to finish his outbursts. A strike to the face always stopped him. After what seemed like hours Kylo left Hux to cry alone in his bed.
