The crew waited for landing. Frosty landscape in front of them seemed mystical and unfriendly, all at once. Ice abysses descended ad infinitum. Whole base looked like snow castle surrounded by spiky icicles. The cold infiltrated into ship. Knight of Ren wasn't happy they had to walk down nearly a mile to the station. Yet he refused to use a fur coat and waited for descent in the standard black robes. It started snowing. Among all the bleak colours around him only red lights on control panels and General Hux's ginger hairs generated some kind of heat.
"Some say, seeing the stars from planet Hoth surface guarantee great fortune" Phasma sounded distant. "It's believed the view brings incredible luck to the observer. He who lays eye on clear night sky is blessed."
"No chance then" the redhead officer shook his head. "The layer of clouds here is about three miles wide."
Ren snorted. Hux's realism killed the mood as always. He is so… himself, Rensteeled a glance at the upright soldier. Well, what to expect from such a man. He's definitely not made for poetry. ...the hell I'm even thinking about.
It was dark outside when Supremacy at last touched down on icy surface of Hoth. Ren knew the walk toward base wouldn't be a stroll. Of course they moved upwind. Captain Phasma was faster than the others. The General had to hold his cap because of abrupt blows. The force user passed him so he didn't have to see his reddened from cold ears. His headgear is ridiculous. He could find something warmer... Ren couldn't get the annoying ginger out of his head, which caused his irritation. He tried to concentrate on his feet lapsing into the white. After a while he heard quick crunches of snow from behind. A gloved hand caught his arm stopping him. He sensed it was Hux.
"What?" Ren snapped.
Snowflakes were slowly falling, one settled on Armitage's lashes, other landed on red lips of his and melted. Ren was totally captivated.
Hux slipped his hand to Kylo's waist and without a word pointed at the sky. The force user averted his eyes with an effort from his secret crush.
Above them stood alone a little gap in blanket of clouds. Before it was gone he saw dark space dotted with sparkling jewels.
Hux walked away leaving Lord of Ren with multiple thoughts and hard blush. Ren felt embarrassed. He wanted me to see those stars… It's like he… shared the blessing with me… Armitage, you utter seducer.
"Kylo, move your ass!" Hux turned and he couldn't stop himself from grin.
The force user knew his heart was taken away for good by this sly devil. Kylo had luck not because he was able to see the legendary stars but because he stood underneath them with Armitage.
