Chapter 3

Days of school went by. Trivial, boring, meaningless days for school went by. Awkward but cute moments between Kylo and Hux came and passed. The school eventually found out they were dating by the first week of October, where the news spread like wildfire. Everyone knew them. They knew them as those two edgy boys that didn't talk to anyone, the emo and ginger.

At lunch, Rey ran over to the two sitting together. "I KNEW YOU TWO WERE DATING! OH MY GOD I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT AND NOW IT'S CONFIRMED! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS! I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU TWO WOULD MAKE A GOOD COUPLE AND-"

"Rey, please, shut up!" Kylo snarled.

She took deep breaths, "Right. Sorry Ben- I mean, Kylo."

Before Kylo could get angry, Finn and Poe ran up to them too. "Jeez Rey, you run fast! What's the rush?" Poe said as he caught his breath.

"Do you guys know the big news?!" Rey asked them excitedly.

"What," Finn said, "that you're cousin's dating Hux? Yeah, everyone knows."

"Isn't it great?!" She squealed.

"Jesus Rey, you didn't act like this when me and Finn started dating!" Poe said.

"That's because, well, you two," Rey said flustered, "I don't know. With you it just, happened. You too are great together and went out almost immediately. But with these two," she sat down at the table across from her cousin, "I have been waiting for this for my. Entire. Life!"

"You can't sit here," Kylo said plainly.

"What was that?" Poe asked sarcastically, "We can all sit here? That's what you said? Nice! Thanks man, that's great." He sat down next to Rey, and Finn laughed and sat next to him.

Kylo sighed. He didn't want to deal with this. Not today. Too much shit was going on today.

He tried to ignore them, "Hux, how'd you do on the first math test of the year last period?"

"What do you think," Hux said, not looking up from his food.

"An A as always," Kylo said. "I know I bombed it."

"I know you did too," Hux responded, smirking, "I saw your paper. I don't think writing 'bitch idk' is an acceptable answer."

"I didn't know the answer!"

"You really are an idiot."

"Shut up!" Kylo smiled and pushed his boyfriend playfully.

Poe opened his mouth to speak, but Rey covered his mouth, "Shh, let my OTP do fluffy shit."

"Rey, can you please just leave?" Kylo asked annoyed.

"No," Rey smiled, "I can't."

"Excuse me you three," another voice spoke. It was Phasma, standing next to the table, "but I think you've done enough here. And Rey," she looked at her straight in the eyes with a cold, steely glare, "I believe that is my seat."

Rey huffed, "Fine. Come on guys." The three kids got up to leave. "Oh, and Kylo, see you at the first anime club meeting today!" Kylo groaned and the three people he hated walked away.

Phasma sat in front of Kylo. He smiled to see her, "Thanks Phasma."

"No problem. You know I can't stand them either," she picked at her food. "Congratulations you two, but the way."

"Thank you," Kylo said. At least Phasma was respectful about it. He hesitated before asking, "How's your luck been in the dating pool?"

"Ugh, terrible," Phasma rolled her eyes, "No don't have a crush on a single girl. They're all just not my type."

"One will come eventually come," Hux added, to Kylo's surprise. "She'll come and you could be her knight in shining armor." He smiled slyly.

"I wish," Phasma smirked.

After school, anime club was held in a classroom. Kylo and Hux sat in a back corner. Rey arrived after them with Finn and Poe. She wanted to sit next to them but decided against it, saying she'd ruin her OTP's fun. She and the boys say near the front, but she turned around every so often to see what Kylo and Hux were doing.

The president of the anime club said some stuff that no one listened to and then they turned on the projector. They were gonna watch Ouran High School Host Club, a show Rey had forced Kylo to watch in the 7th grade, but Hux had never seen.

Even at just at the beginning of the opening Hux groaned. Kylo laughed, "On the surface is looks annoying, but it's actually pretty good."

"This isn't my type of thing," Hux said plainly.

"I think you'll like Kyoya. He's kinda like you," Kylo smiled, "He's got the whole 'serious and emotionless most of the time but is also a total sadist and will also say savage things occasionally' thing down, just like you."

"Shut up," Hux spat.

"Ok honey," Kylo teased.

"Shut up," Hux snarled.

"I said ok!" Kylo put his hands up in surrender, laughing.

After anime club, they leave for Kylo's house, as always. By the time they get there, Kylo's parents are already home. "Hey there son," his father greets him.

"Shut up dad!" Kylo yelled at him and ran up the stairs, holding Hux's hand to pull him up with him. He ran to his room, pulled Hux inside, and shut the door loudly (on purpose).

"Was that necessary Kylo?" Hux asked, deadpanning.

"Yes it was," Kylo said quickly, "If you had the chance to do that to your dad, would you?"

Hux ignored the question, "We should work on our report for English."

"Nah, it's due on Monday," Kylo said and hopped onto his bed.

"It's Friday, Kylo," Hux said like something was obvious. Kylo couldn't tell what was however.

"Yeah, we have like, 2 more days," He said and laughed, lying back onto the bed.

"We should split up the work. Besides, we still have the normal homework that we get everyday," Hux said, "We got a lot today; Trig, chem, and french. It's a whole bunch of pages in the textbooks-"

"Calm down Hux," Kylo waved his hand to dismiss Hux's works, "We just got home. We'll do it later."

Hux sighed, "Everyday with this. I don't know how I'm able to stand you." He sat on the bed next to Kylo.

"Yet you still hang out with me," Kylo smirked.

"Yet I'm still dating you, you idiot," Hux said without looking at him. Kylo couldn't see his face, but he thought Hux was probably smiling.

Both of them had gotten much more confident with their relationship. They teased each other about it more than actually flirting. Maybe that's how people at school found out. But they hadn't done much romantic stuff yet. They acted pretty much the same together as they always had.

Kylo looked at Hux. He liked Hux because he was always so confident, so cool and collected. Much unlike Kylo, who could be quite insecure at times, he could admit to himself that. Kylo liked how Hux was so smart and clever, and how he was so cold. Oh yes, he loved that. He liked how Hux could keep away people with just a look. Sure, sometimes he was annoying, but he didn't really mind anymore. It was just cute to him now. But Kylo especially liked that the only one Hux would joke and have fun with was with him, how he'd only smile for him.

Hux liked Kylo for a very similar reason. Since he first met him, he thought Kylo was very annoying. He only used to hang out with him so people wouldn't talk to him, since no one else liked Kylo too. But he eventually grew to like him. Once you hang out with him enough, Kylo's whiny, annoying emo kid exterior falls away to reveal a person who is actually very creative and friendly, even if Kylo didn't admit that himself. And Hux loved this. Hux loved that only he knew the real Kylo, not the fake he presents to his family and at school. He wasn't a bully that just hated everything and only cared about himself. He was someone that could find the meaning of songs in an instant. He could draw well, even if his drawing were a bit creepy to others. Hux liked those kinds of drawings. Like Kylo, Hux especially liked that the only one Kylo would joke and have fun with was with him, how he'd only smile for him.

They were both just two confused, growing teenagers with no other friends. They were both just two kids that no one else took the time to understand. All they had were each other, and they were ok with that.

"Listen to a song with me," Kylo said to Hux. It wasn't a question of whether he wanted to or not, it was a demand. "You remember the musical Spring Awakening? The one I showed you the video of it that someone filmed in the theater?"

"Yes I remember," Hux said. How could he forget. It was Kylo's favorite musical. Hux liked it too, but Sweeney Todd was his personal favorite.

"This is one of the songs from it," Kylo said and turned the song on. "It's called 'The Word of Your Body'."

The two boys laid on the bed and listened. It was a sweet, romantic song, probably the only really romantic song that Kylo had. They exchanged glances at certain lyrics. Soon, they just stared into each other's eyes.

Kylo wanted to kiss Hux. He wanted to feel his lips on his. He wanted to see how Hux would react. But he didn't know how. He didn't know how to kiss someone, and he was scared he'd mess up.

Before he could gather the courage to do it, Hux moved closer to Kylo and leaned forward. Kylo barely even noticed Hux's movements until he felt a soft warmth against his lips. His eyes widened with fear and happiness before they closed and the two boys tried to figure out how to kiss.

The song had long ended by the time they stopped.
