Rey

I stared blankly at the ceiling of my room. It was becoming more of a cage. I was trapped in it for hours with nothing to do but look out the window and read. The only company I got was the maintenances droid delivering food, and the occasional update from Kylo.

I eyed my scar on my hand from out on Kashyyyk. It was still tender from days ago. Probably infected. I shrugged it off, stupidly rolling off my bed and onto the floor. I closed my eyes and just flopped.

Suddenly, I heard my door open. I didn't look up to see who it was. I knew.

Just the droid. I sighed internally. I longed for company after days of boredom. The soft purring of the droid was unusual, so I looked up. A small orange tabby purred as it walked in my direction. It mewled a sign of recognition as I reached out my hand to pet it. It rubbed its soft fur across my hand, still purring.

"What are you doing back here?" I asked it softly. "I didn't know the first order had a cat. Who do you belong to?" I talked to it like it could respond.

The door slid open again, revealing a first order general. He seemed important, so I stood and straightened up. The tabby padded over and rubbed against the red haired man. The man smiled a bit and lifted the cat into the air and onto his shoulder. After a moment of muttering to the cat, he looked in my direction, surprised to see someone.

"Good afternoon. Sorry to interrupt your day. It's just Millie... Millicent. I let her wander on my days off. I hope she didn't mess with a fine lady like you," he said. I smiled, awkwardly, meeting his slight gaze.

"Oh, no… Not at all. I- I actually enjoyed her company. Rey, by the way. I'm… um.. Kylo's apprentice, so to speak," I replied, brushing my hair back.

Something clicked with the man by hearing of my so called "authority". "Hux. General Hux. I've heard about you. I just don't understand why Ren keeps his knights cooped up like this… So uncivilized…" Hux stated. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"There are… Others?" I asked.

"Yes. He is the leader of the knights of Ren, but you are his only force using apprentice," He stated matter a factly. He looked over at my clock and grunted.

"Would you like to… Join me for lunch maybe? I don't get to see many women officers around," He asked, nodding at the door. I smiled. Finally a way to get out the room. Nodding, I walked towards him. Halfway to the door, I paused.

"Would Kylo be ok with that?"

Hux scratched Millicent's ear. "As long as you're with me it's ok, I bet. Come on," He waved me out, so I followed.

As I walked out the door, I noticed how cold it was getting in my quarters. I took a deep breath in and smiled wider. I started to follow Hux, then noticing everyone around him straightened up at the sight of him. Just like they did with Kylo.

The cafeteria was larger than I expected; large tables packed with troopers.

What a fine way to go out to lunch with an imperial officer. I joked to myself. I eyed a slightly open table, but Hux kept going. Ahead was a small door with a sign reading 'Officer lounge.'

He walked in, pushing open the door. Inside revealed a much nicer, cozier room than the cafeteria. Although all black, much cozier.

I rubbed my scar with my sleeved shirt, it becoming itchy. Millicent, probably. Hux still had her propped up on him, a plain view of her face for me. She cocked her head, as if smiling.

Hux motioned for me to sit down, and I found a small couch in the corner of the room. I plopped down, watching Hux sit down In a chair next to mine. Millicent hopped onto my chair and mewled again.

"It seems like Millicent enjoys you. She has high standards. Congratulations."

He reached over to pet the tabby, and I flinched. He looked up at me.

"Sorry, I've just been… Twitchy the last week," I said, lightly. He smiled. I rubbed my scar again. It was suddenly a stress habit. Hux noticed it, I'm sure, but he left the question alone.

"General. Rey. Enjoying your time together?" A mechanical voice intruded. I looked over to see a masked Kylo Ren, brooding at the door. I quickly stood up to greet him. I sat down seconds after, a head rush had blurred my vision.

"Rey. Back to your quarters," Kylo grumbled. I tried to stand, but my legs were weak. I was persistent and pushed against the armrest of the couch, standing. I teetered on my feet a bit before Kylo walked over.

"Rey."

I fell, only to be caught by Kylo himself. Everything became blurry. I could hear the two men bickering, almost sounding far away.

"What did you give her?"

"Nothing, Ren. I didn't poison one of our own."

Rey. I'm taking you to the med bay. Just don't die. Kylo said in my mind.

Not again. I groaned in my head before all I could feel was Kylo's quick heartbeat.

Author's note: Ha, no. This isn't going to be Reylux. I just haven't seen many fanfics where people like Hux, but hasn't been to important. Also, I just couldn't stay away from the adorable cat Millicent! Hope you liked it though! And I promise. Soon there will be Reylo. Let it come. I only write what happens. Rey and Kylo have control over what happens. ;)
