Nights were the hardest, first time she felt him it almost brought alarm but Rey couldn't allow that. If there were the slightest disturbance, a thought or even worse if she touched him, the monster would have her. Kylo persisted even though she cut him off months ago, his sleeping form showed up 7 days and 15 hours after their last encounter. Since then it's been a hurtful chase, that started in the forest and continued every moment she felt him and every moment she couldn't respond.
Rey sighed before laying down and thankful to be alone, she stared out at the dark room. Finally relaxing and closing her eyes, the girl fell asleep. The smell of damp woods filling her senses, and a dark figure in the foreground.
A familiar dream ensues.
"At last the girl I've heard so much about," His electronic voice, even then had so much power over her. She stood frozen in place, stiff and unable to move. "Tell me where you are," Kylo commanded her to face him, his hands came up and Rey felt so afraid, what would he do? There wasn't a moment of anger or retaliation but a moment that brought Rey to a dilemma, the figure pulled off his mask and Ben brought her mouth to his. "Please scavenger, you stole something worth more than a half portion when you took my heart." He didn't speak but she heard him clearly and he began to part the top of her tunic, sharp gasps escape her lips as the feeling of his wet leather glove ran over her nipples and exposing the rest of her to the cold air of Takodana.
"You know I can't." Rey couldn't catch her breath and she didn't struggle just as knew she wouldn't to his will. It furthered her view of why they couldn't interact, he wouldn't need much more than a glimmer to have her.
Kylo smirked, "We'll see." He made contact to where the girl wanted him to. She moaned loudly while moving up and down against her better judgement and enjoying every thrust into the best place. It felt so right and almost ancient, this beautiful moment of coitus in the woods. "You know I can take whatever I want." He groaned.
"The force created us for this." It was almost that time, the time that came too soon every time she knew it was almost over. Rey could hear loud beeping and the dream began to fade.
She stood up and found him laying on his back breathing heavily under the blankets. Nights were the hardest but having to keep every experience to nothing would prove harder than she thought it would. But Rey couldn't help but watch him and listen for a moment. His thoughts while he slept were so precise and fluent in every form of imagery. Pulses of the force bounced off of her from him and she could feel her own echo back each time hers would hit Ben.
But Luke's last words from his ghost repeats loudly in her mind.
"Rey, if you want to save Ben you have to get stronger in the Force. The bond between you will swallow the weaker of the Jedi and could be the path to the dark side."
"What should I do? He shows up randomly now but it seems to be more consistent and I don't know how to keep him out."
"Practice what I've told you, control your emotions and keep him away from you. If you let him have even the slightest opening there will be no way to keep him from finding you. This is the reason why bonds like this are forbidden in force users, somehow you two connected over something. Now think of yourselves as an open bridge but thankfully if you stay true and keep working on your skills there will be a time you could face him without the harm to you."
"Do you think I can save him?"
"Balance, Rey." Luke chuckles and walking away fading into nothing.
Luke didn't appear in the same way Ben did, she could tell he wasn't really there when the ghost vanished.
The girl stood for a time enjoying as his thoughts became more active and she could hear his alarm sounding off. To her utter fright a large hand caught Rey around the wrist. Looking to see Ben gazing up at her before he could say a word Rey violently slammed her mind shut to him.
Kylo's hand grasped around nothing but he could still smell her and the skin connected to his fingers this time for sure. He brought them to his lips, understanding the warmth from them came from her. "I knew she wouldn't stay away." He smiled, somewhat victorious knowing they made contact again. "I definitely touched her that time." He sat up looking across his room into a mirror. "Strange to know she saw me like this." A little blush came over him at the idea of Rey watching him while he slept. "I was definitely dreaming of her last night too." The pale boy stopped looking at himself, slightly embarrassed but also a tinge of hope that perhaps his shy girl found her way to him again.
It's dark and cold in space, sometimes being in it too long can drain all the warmth out of some. Kylo hadn't lived on a planet in some years, he considers what she felt like as he went over their second encounter through the force. "What planet are you on? Where in the universe have you hid away? Rey came from a dry place, she felt uncomfortable when the snow soaked through her shoes on Takodana. But she didn't like living in the desert." Her wrist felt warm, slightly damp and the air smelled like life. "There's only one place I can recall the air being described as life." His eyes went to a particular picture of a landscape he only visited a handful of times. "Of course, everything rhymes when flowing through existence." Kylo felt less cold knowing there could be a warm place to lay down soon.
Halfway between being awake and sleeping he felt her arms wrap around him. They kiss lovingly as though a past habit already trailed in, he let out a soft cry into his hand longing to extend their moments. For now that's all they had, but he truly hoped Rey could find a way to accepting him into her life. A terrifying but hard thought get out of his mind, a sweet melody that kept replaying. "Fine, make me track you down, we're only separated with space but soon again we'll be face to face."
*Reylo fan like the idea of two tortured people trying to figure out how to communicate with each other you know same old story we have all loved before.*
