Kylo was laying on his bed trying to give Lirri the space for her to rest. Ren barely left her alone when he could seeing as he didn't trust the others on his ship, even with his power. This was mainly due to knowing that if Hux found his weakness, the General would use it on him in spite. Lirri would awake on occasion still to talk with him in her sleep, although a few were preposterous whereas a few were responses to his own questions.
Ren's back was laying flat on his bed, as Lirri curled against him again; which was expected from her since she was a cuddler since he met her. When she did it though, he sometimes heard her mumbling Ben.
Glancing over, Kylo saw her eyes fluttering open as Lirri gave a small smile to him. "Hey Ben," Lirri spoke as she leaned over to kiss him on his lips, staying there for a bit before pulling her lips away. He looked at her before dropping his hand. "Lirri, you need to rest-" he began as Lirri puffed up her cheeks and rested her head on his arm as she looked him in the eyes.
"Only if you stay. You can skip training, right?" Lirri questioned as he nodded. Lirri closed her eyes happily and snuggled in. Hesitantly, Kylo wrapped his arms around her and pulled Lirri close. He might as well take this moment for an innocent moment before Lirri realized where she truly was.
When he was sure that she was asleep, Kylo Ren placed moved to kiss her softly on the forehead. Kylo accepted this as a temporary moment of weakness for himself.
General Hux was staring at Kylo Ren in disbelief the next morning. The idiotic Knight of Ren wanted to keep that prisoner in his own chambers as under his wing unless otherwise specified? It was a ridiculous notion as Hux looked over at their Supreme Leader for guidance before just asking.
"What could have possibly implanted this ridiculous idea into your thick skull?" Hux finally questioned.
Ren turned to him, anger covering his face as he snapped. "How about you focus on finding what Lor San is. I left her in your and Phasma's care but Stormtroopers nearly killed her due to your employees that are clearly lacking." Hissing, Kylo threw hux across the room.
"Perhaps you should fix your training since I can at least keep my knights in check, unlike you."
Snoke boomed out finally as he forced the two away from one another. "Enough." Turning to Hux, Kylo is going to convince the Prisoner to join our cause by having her close."
"Are you planning on her becoming a Knight of Ren, my Lord?"
"Her place is undecided as of yet. Don't you think how it is curious how she has managed to survive nearly a decade even with The First Order searching? She could be a useful pawn due to her connections with the Rebels and Skywalker."
Hux accepted this answer as Kylo was now his focus. Slowly, Snoke began to turn towards Kylo as he leaned forward. "I will give you until when Hux and his team have gotten the complete map off of that drive to convince her. Or else I will remove her. Understood?"
Kylo nodded as he immediately turned on his heel, storming through the halls as the thuds of all the Stormtroopers who were thrown out of the way and into the side walls. Throwing open his bedroom door; Kylo let it slam behind him as he threw his helmet across the room with a gut wrenching scream- angered by Hux and Snoke's conversation.
"Watch it!" Lirri was sitting on his bed, sitting up but still quite pale. Her hair was damp and clinging her as he eyed her over. Seeing her now had definitely matured her. What had caught his breath was seeing that she was sitting on his bed quite alert and wearing his sleep wear.
"I forgot you were here." Kylo lied as he set down his things.
"I took a shower, I really needed it." Lirri spoke as she moved her head from staring down in her lap before nodding towards the small door.
Kylo collected his helmet to put it with the other things as he calmed down and watched her. The tray of food he had left was still untouched. "Eat." he spoke before taking his chair to face her. There was displeasure on her face as she shook her head.
"Not hungry." Lirri mumbled, her voice raspy and congested as he watched her fiddling with the blankets near her. Grabbing the tray, he walked over to her and set the tray on her lap.
"Bull. You haven't eaten in at least a day and it was broth." He held the juice up to her lips as Lirri watched him. He continued to sit beside her, staring into her eyes to see if she would cave first or not. Finally, Kylo sighed as he even by tilting the cup she wouldn't drink as he took a sip as he raised his eyebrow and then once again put it on her lips.
Lirri finally took a small sip as Kylo smiled before her hand pushed it away. Kylo set the glass down on the nearby table. Curiosity was eating at Lirri but she wasn't going to ask them. Instead, she rubbed around her eyes since her sinuses felt like they were going to burst but her body was too weak to manipulate the Force in that moment to heal herself.
Hands wrapped around either of her wrists as her hands were pulled away gently. Kylo stared into Lirri's eyes as she stared at him.
"Don't use the Force on me, Ren." She muttered as Ren shook his head. Lirri was exhausted but didn't want to let her guard down again here since last time came with memories of enclosed spaces and water.
Lirri was exhausted, resisting letting herself be sick as Kylo rolled his eyes in annoyance as he moved to lay on the bed, pulling her down to rest over him. Lirri gasped as she stumbled onto his stomach and let go of one wrist to pull the blankets over the pair.
"What the fuck?" Lirri questioned, avoiding Kylo's eye contact as he looked at the reddening of her cheeks. Ren ignored the bubbling in his chest as he reminded himself this had to be business, not pleasure or at least it business had to be his priority.
"You need sleep and I would like to nap but I didn't want the bothersome conversation. Now we've shared a bed before; we can do it again unless you prefer to sleep on the floor which is quite uncomfortable."
Lirri paused, checking to see if he were serious. Soon, she relaxed in his touch and got comfortable on the bed, moving away from Kylo so that she was on the edge of the bed and her back faced towards the man. He let out a deep breath as he closed his eyes. Getting Lirri comfortable at all times would help him out, right?
Kylo listened as her breaths evened out. When he was completely certain that she was asleep he curled around her. His arm rested on her waist, and his other arm resting under his head.
