Not What It Seems

Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars or any of its characters!

So after I finished my other story, Forbidden, I couldn't help myself from writing more! :) This was just a random idea that came to my head. Slightly off for some characters, but this idea just keeps coming up! I have written this entire story and will be posting daily, however all the notes at the ends are fairly general, so if they sound the same, they probably are! I may add more to them, but I wanted to just have something there as I know I really only have time to upload in my schedule during the week! Hopefully that all makes sense once you get a few chapters! Hope you all enjoy! :)

Chapter 1

Rey felt exhaustion and soreness take over her body as she finally set herself down on the floor after a long day of preparations. They had been hauling things from the falcon, the small amount they all had, into their new base. Some old abandoned base from the past that the First Order hasn't found. They had also just been up moving and clearing out old machinery and equipment around the base. She hadn't really stopped going since she had left Luke on the island and her body was wearing thin at the moment.

Being with the resistance wasn't anything like she had thought. After the first night, things just got harder. Not that she didn't expect the hardship, but it seemed like those who were left and the few allies who had come to their aid treated her and Leia like outsiders. It was as if they were dirt under everyone's feet.

It's not that Rey had expected to come to them a hero or anything of the sort, but she hoped she would at least be treated like equal to their people. She was sorely mistaken. Leia seemed off put by their actions as well, but they treated Leia better and Rey hid how they treated her when she was with the General. She didn't want to worry the older woman any more than she needed to.

Rey shivered as she waited outside by the large entrance to the base. There was a small cave right outside the main door where she chose to stay the nights. They had been short on rooms and so that Leia was able to have a room, she decided to exile herself for nights, something none of the other resistance members seemed too worried about. She had debated going to Finn and Poe, but they were both too busy to notice and they still were her friends, so she didn't want to burden them.

As she made her normal trek out into the cold, a harsh reality for the previous desert dweller, she shook and her teeth chattered. She was still in the same outfit as she had been in on Crait as they didn't have enough extra warm clothes and once again, she bowed out, knowing they wouldn't share with her anyway. At least she had a blanket with her to help fend off some of the cold.

Her ribs were slowly beginning to show again like they had on Jakku. Portions weren't necessarily limited here, but that's what she was told. The small portion she did get, she gave most to Leia who got a similar treatment. Leia seemed to understand partially though. The resistance was losing faith.

They lost faith in Leia for having too much compassion and hope for not only her son, but for Rey, some scavenger from Jakku who trained with Luke for a few days. People were losing faith that hope was enough. It broke Leia's heart to see, but she knew hope couldn't last forever. Especially with how many loses they had just had to dealt with. Rey understood partially as well, but it was as if instead of just losing hope, they wanted to snuff out the last of it. Her and Leia were the focus for them right now and Rey felt like she was clearly not welcomed here.

Rey shivered and pulled her blanket closer to her body, leaning back against some rocks in the cave, her breath coming in soft puffs in front of her. She slowly crossed her legs and began to meditate. It was the only thing she could do in order to distract herself from the cold.

Kylo wiped some sweat from his brow as he continued training, working in his personal training room with a practice saber, running through his stances and drills.

The last week or two had been hectic for the newly appointed Supreme Leader. He had to go to countless meetings and training had been how he spent the majority of his time. He pushed his dark curls out of his face, sighing once more as he stretched out his tight muscles.

Rey hadn't left his mind since Crait. He could still imagine every detail from the throne room as if she was still standing there, right in front of him and it shook him to the core.

He couldn't shake this feeling of her. He knew they were still connected. He didn't know how he knew that, but he just knew. That space that she occupied in his mind was still full and thrumming with her light and beauty, pulling him towards her everyday, but everyday, he resisted.

She had been the one to reject him, therefore, he would wait for her to pull on her end, bringing him spiralling into her. A part of him wanted to just say screw it and connect to her anyways. He felt this overwhelming need to just know where she was and how she was.

He dreamt of her every night. About how things may have gone differently. A different answer from her and he wouldn't have been able to stop himself from kissing her right then and there. He still wished he had done it. Maybe it would have swayed her. He knew she felt something for him, she was just too stubborn to admit it.

Not like he was about to go and admit his feelings to her either, but he thought he at least gave her a general idea of those feelings when he had begged her to join him. He truly did want her by his side. He longed for her companionship and later, her love if she was willing to give it to him.

He had so many ideas as Supreme Leader. Despite what she, and many others, may have thought, he didn't share all of Snoke's views on the fate of the galaxy. He had meant what he had said in the throne room. For things to get better, the past had to die, otherwise there wouldn't be room for new blood and ideas to be welcomed.

He wanted to keep bits and pieces from everything, not just the Empire and Sith, but also the Jedi and the Rebellion. They all had valid points, but they were all surrounded by nonsense and things that were just plain unnecessary.

He went to his fresher within his private chambers, cleaning himself from his long training alone. He had wished to train Rey one day, hoping that it was still a possibility, but he was unsure of his chances now.

As he let the hot water soothe his aching muscles, he sighed, allowing his mind to drift to more thoughts of his scavenger, though they were hardly appropriate. He felt himself hardening as his thoughts drifted to all that he wished would happen between them and all things he wished to do to her little body.

Millions of fantasies swirled through his mind, all having the same conclusion; them spent in bliss and ecstasy.

"Oh Rey…" He mumbled to himself as he slowly relieved himself, still allowing his mind to wander, her name falling from his lips once more with his climax.

Rey was broken out of her meditative state abruptly as she felt a wave of pleasure course through her body and her thoughts immediately strayed to Kylo. She tried as hard as she could to deny her feelings towards the dark man, but she couldn't help it. There had been some lonely nights where thoughts of him were all that got her through, not all the most appropriate, but she had never allowed herself to do anything about it. She was too scared of getting caught, plus she had no idea how to even go about pleasuring herself except general ideas.

She bit her lower lip as she felt another wave of pleasure, though this one more intense. She could have sworn that she heard Kylo groan, but she knew it was impossible. Sure, she knew the bond was still there, feeling the spot in her mind he currently occupied, but they hadn't been thrown together by the force since Crait. In order to keep what little walls she had up around her feelings for him, she intended to keep it that way.

A blush covered her cheeks as the feeling calmed down within her and she wondered what had happened. It certainly hadn't been her, which only left one option and that wasn't an option she was ready to explore yet.
