A/N: Hello friends! So I had a couple short Reylo stories typed out, and thought to create a collection since I don't intend to do much of anything with them. I have a few more ideas for stories to write, but have yet to get anything down for them yet. That being said, this "story" won't be regularly updated, and I'll just throw my short Reylo writings here whenever I manage to get anything written out haha!

I do have an "actual" Reylo oneshot story up, so if a longer, complete fic is more your speed, feel free to check out my story Eventide Repose! ^^

Rey faltered as she felt a pair of eyes watching her back.

Not wishing to humor the man who had appeared, Rey ignored his presence and continued with her training.

The waves loudly crashed against the cliff side as she tossed her staff back and forth between her hands, her focus solely on the giant boulder in front of her. She inhaled deeply before twisting her body and slamming her staff square against the boulder, and she held still for a few moments.

A cracking noise emitted from the boulder she had just assaulted, and a satisfied smile came to Rey's face as one half of it dislocated and fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Impressive."

Rey closed her eyes and mentally tried to calm herself before turning around. Her gaze landed on the ominously dark figure of Kylo Ren, and she stared at him blankly as he looked her up and down appreciatively. His analyzing gaze made her skin crawl, and Rey gripped her staff tighter until her knuckles grew white.

"Your training has been paying off well."

"That tends to happen when you actually obey your master and build off their criticism."

The way that his eye twitched at her sharp retort did not go unnoticed by the Jedi girl, and she pointedly shrugged her shoulders before turning her attention back to the fallen boulder.

Tuning out her unwanted guest, Rey closed her eyes and held her hand out as she pressed into the force. Her brows furrowed in concentration as the large chunk of boulder began to rise.

Just as she had a firm grasp on the boulder with the force, Rey gasped loudly as Kylo's sizable presence appeared directly behind her.

He was way too close for comfort.

Rey's eyes snapped open at the same time the piece of boulder crashed back down on the ground, and she spun around and stepped away to put some distance between them with her staff raised.

Kylo Ren didn't flinch as Rey spat out, "Just what do you think you're doing?!"

"I was testing you," he replied simply, as if it should've been obvious.

She shook her head in disbelief, "Testing me? How was that testing me?"

Kylo's calm eyes held her own as he slowly began to step towards her. Rey's grip on her staff tensed in preparation for an attack, but curiosity got the better of her as she held steadfast.

"You will need to learn to command the force without it taking up your complete concentration," he explained smoothly as he stopped in front of her, "Otherwise you will be at a disadvantage on this physical plane if your mind is solely focused on the plane which the force occupies."

Rey's eyes narrowed up at him as he closed in, and his gloved hand gently pushed her staff down to allow himself to stand boot-to-boot with her. She allowed him, but her body remained tense and suspicion still clouded her eyes.

"Brute strength is important in battle, but so is being able to distract the enemy while commanding the force without anyone noticing."

At this, Kylo Ren cut off from their force bond connection, and Rey blinked in surprise before releasing the breath she hadn't realized she had been holding.

Rolling her eyes at his cryptic monologue, Rey turned back towards the boulder, only to frown in disgust.

The boulder piece she had been trying to pick up was already upright and conjoined with its other half.
