Chapter 6 – Take My Advice Trump
The morning after, the base was on high alert. Stormtroopers scoured the base hunting high and low for their Supreme Leader who was nowhere to be found. As soon as Kylo Ren was notified he knew exactly where to look. Still feeling a small part lightheaded, he charged towards Trump's room accompanied by Rey. He used the force to slide the door open and barged in.
The lights were still dim in the room. The bed was barely visible in the low lighting so Kylo had to fumble around in the dark for the light switch. He smirked to himself once he found it and flicked it on.
Rey's gasp was the first thing he noted. He whipped round to face her before looking over at what had caused her this reaction. Donald Trump was lying, shirtless, across his bed like a starfish. Snoke had snuggled up to his side and rested his head on his shoulder. Both of them appeared to be completely naked and both Kylo and Rey would've likely been permanently scarred if it weren't for the white sheet covering the lower half of their bodies.
Kylo was stunned. He had no idea how to react or what to do. He glanced over at Rey who was still wide eyed and just as in shock as him. Deciding that this was all too much, Kylo cleared his throat in order to wake the couple. After no response he went over to Trump and pushed him violently. Snoke snuggled further into him until fluttering his eyes open and letting out a small cry as he noticed his audience.
"Kylo!" Snoke yelped. Trump stirred in his sleep. "Rey!" Snoke cried again and he pushed the blanket up to his chest in modesty. Trump groaned and awoke also. His face flushed a deep shade of red when he too realised the awkward situation.
"Supreme Leader, what's going on? The whole base has been on red alert since this morning. You never reported back to your rooms last night. We assumed the worst," Kylo spoke with anger in his tone as he let his piercing gaze fall on Trump. Snoke pursed his lips and looked down in embarrassment. He swallowed before meeting Kylo's eyes.
"That's none of your concern boy," He spat and moved away from Trump slightly. Kylo paced back towards the door and Rey backed away.
"I'll notify the officers that you have been found," Kylo dipped his head. "Supreme Leader we need to talk," Kylo scowled at Trump whose eyes had been fixed away from him. "Alone,"
Kylo paraded out and Rey chased after him quickly. Once the door had slid shut Snoke looked over at Trump.
"What have I done?" He muttered and Trump looked away again. His face was slowly straying away from the ghastly red it had just been.
"We had a few drinks… Everyone makes mistakes," Trump tried to piece together what had just happened between them.
"You think this was a mistake?" There was a quiver in Snoke's voice. He didn't seem so powerful now. Donald shook his head quickly and placed his hand on Snoke's.
"No, I," He pulled his hand away and faced the door. "I need time to think," He finished. Snoke sighed and stepped out of the bed. The floor was cold and harsh against his feet but he ignored it as he pulled on his robe. He was going to say something in return to Trump but he decided it would be better if he just left.
On the way back to his rooms Kylo caught his arm. Snoke stopped to pull away but Kylo held on firmly.
"We need to talk about you and Trump," Kylo spoke in a serious voice. Snoke's eyes met his and he pushed away the growing tears. He needed to show him that he was not weak.
"There's nothing going on between us," Snoke replied coldly.
"That's an obvious lie Supreme Leader. What would the base think if they saw what went down in Trump's room last night?" Kylo folded his arms. Snoke's face morphed into one of shock and he grasped onto Kylo shoulders and stared directly into his soul.
"You wouldn't dare say anything," He hissed at him and Kylo almost fell backwards.
"Your secret's safe with me," Kylo answered while steadying himself. "It needs to stop though. He's making you weak. You were in a red dress last night!" He protested and Snoke thought back to last night's events.
"You're right… I'm going to end it right now," Snoke decided and Kylo followed him back towards Trump's room.
Meanwhile across the base, a fully dressed Trump stepped outside his rooms. He craned his neck and noticed Rey leaning against a wall. She noticed him too and stood up straight. Trump went straight over to her and stood there awkwardly.
"You're Rey aren't you?" Donald spoke whilst adjusting his uniform. He thought about flashing her a cheesy presidential smile as it always seemed to work with the ladies but decided against it.
"That's me," She answered casually. Had she completely forgotten their first meeting? Although it was supposed to be comforting, her friendliness only seemed to make him more nervous.
"I need some advice about… men," He finished abruptly and awaited a reaction. She huffed a small smile.
"I'm not sure if I'm the best person to ask but I suppose I could give you some advice," She chuckled. Trump let out a sigh and glanced over to his room.
"Could we talk inside?" He asked innocently. Rey nodded and smiled again. They began to walk towards the door.
Snoke was walking with phenomenal speed. Kylo struggled to keep up as he turned another corner in the maze of dark steel walls. He stopped before reaching the hallway that lead to Trump's room. He heard giggling coming from two voices. Snoke stuck his hand out to halt Kylo and peeked round the corner. Rey and Trump were both proceeding towards Trump's room. He felt Kylo peek his head round also and he watched as Trump held the door open for Rey and they both went inside. Snoke stood back and faced Kylo with wide eyes.
"He moves on fast," Snoke wheezed out and he felt tears burn in his eyes. Kylo looked equally as shocked.
"I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding. Rey and I are together. She wouldn't cheat with that," Kylo folded his arms and shook his head towards the floor.
"Don't insult Trump," Snoke hissed back at him. "She's gone off and left you. They're probably doing regrettable things right now," He turned his head away and stared at the door. Kylo stamped his foot like a child, diverting Snoke's attention back to him.
"Don't say that. Rey would never. Don't try and ruin my relationship because yours is over," The words were heated as they sparred. The atmosphere tensed up around them.
"Go and check on them then," The argument continued and Snoke's voice reached a new pitch. Kylo looked towards the door, back at Snoke then back at the door again before storming off in the opposite direction. "Coward," Snoke muttered but he too turned away from Trump's room and began travelling back to his.
