The two men stood in the Generals quarters and stared each other down as if they were waiting to see who would make the first move. Silently and gracefully as if he was a panther, Kylo Ren moved forward, he removed his mask, with a hiss of the hydraulics he revealed his sharp long face and nose that was neither ugly nor beautiful, and two ears poked out from his long dark hair. Hux adored the mans ears which seemed too big for him, he found them what Hux would call. "Pleasing to the eye." As Kylo drew nearer though Hux backed away and crossed his arms over his chest and looked down. The General looked almost...Dare he even think it? Timid? Shy? Hux nibbled on his lower lip not looking at Kylo which caused tension to build in the room.

"We can't do this anymore.." The ginger said softly, matching his seemingly soft appearance at the moment.

"What do you mean?" Kylo wasn't an idiot this had been festering at the back of their minds for so long.

"Sex..we can't do it anymore.."

"Why not? We both like it." Ren said haughtily, he loved the sex, he was allowed to be the dominant one while he let Hux sit back and let Kylo take care of him. The feeling, the sounds Hux made, the rare begging that sometimes graced the moment with its presence. It all drove Kylo absolutely mad and made him crave more like an unsatisfiable beast. Always more, more, more.

Hux on the other hand was more obsessed with how he felt. The energy and the feelings he got for just having Ren be there, just over him and doing as he pleased and yet what Ren wanted was exactly what he wanted too.

"Don't you...feel the same?.." Hux asked and shifted slightly in embarrassment. Talking about this was a big risk once they both became fully aware of it.

"No." came Kylo's sharp reply.

"Liar, I know you feel it. I see it as plain as day." Hux said and stepped back again as Kylo stepped forward.

"Oh really?..well, what does it feel like?" He snapped defensively

Hux blushed and looked away, with one more step back he felt the cool wall press against his back, sending chills up and down his spine. Two arms planted themselves on either side of Hux's head.

"Kylo." Hux warned and shifted uncomfortably.

"Hux.." Kylo leaned in so their noses were brushing. He was determined to help Hux give in to what he wanted, what he needed. "Let me help you."

The General whimpered and leaned in to kiss him. It was strong like Kylo's scent. It was the smell of dirt, metal, sulfur and air. Fresh air. Not the stale recycled air that made you go cabin crazy sometimes. The kiss was passionate and slow, something the two kept away from.

"Kylo..." Hux whispered. "We can't, it's a distraction." Kylo quickly shushed Hux with another kiss.

"We can keep it a secret. It will be the same y'know, but we'll both be happy." He slid his hands up the backs of Hux's thighs. "Please, Armie."

"Don't call me that. If Snoke finds out he'll kill me," Hux snarled to try and keep himself from leaning in to Kylos touch.

"Not if I kill him first, baby." Kylo had a sly grin and kissed Hux once more. "Please?"

The General finally gave in to what they both wanted and needed. "Yes. Okay."

"Say it. I want you to say it first," Kylo mumbled, nosing at Hux's cheek.

"Say what?"

"Y'know what it is. Please Hux? Please say it?"

"I love you."

Kylo pulled away and with a large goofy smile he said, "I love you too."
