Days went by and Rey continued to work for Kylo, her escape plan was taking more time than she thought. The base had extreme security so that no one can go out without an especial permission, so she thought about stealing a tie fighter but she knew she would get caught immediately and she wasn't in a position to fight back.

She was working with finances, sitting in her usual spot on Kylo's desk. It was nearly 15000 and she hadn't seen him since he left in the morning… she almost missed him, at least when he was around she had someone to speak with. She hated the feeling of silence so she puts on some music… I could be your hero baby; I could kiss the pain away.

- What a corny song, she muttered to herself

…But she couldn't help but remember the time Kylo took care of her when she passed out while listening to it. Bullshit she interrupted the song and put on some electronic music instead, that's better.

3 more hours passed and Kylo was still nowhere to be spotted, she didn't knew why she cared but she did and she was starting to get anxious, he had told her that he was going to train and that he was going to be back by lunch time but he wasn't.

Half an hour passed by and Rey was going crazy she didn't understood why but she was worried about him, she was about to leave his room and go find him but she stopped herself knowing it was too risky for both of them. She thought about calling Zach, Tim? Anyone?… 2 more minutes, 15, 20… when finally the door opened and Kylo came in; his right leg was badly wounded and all over his body were scratches, some of them deep some others a bit more superficial.

- Kylo! What in the galaxy happened?

She ran to him but stopped herself realizing what she was doing; he was as surprised as she was by her behavior

- Uhmm… Training was a little rough today, you'll get used to see me like this anyways, it's nothing

He said raising an eyebrow in response to her unusual way of welcoming him

- I was worried, she admitted in a low whisper while chewing on her lip

- I know, I felt it

Rey helped him limp to his bed

- You don't have to this, he let out a low growl from pain as they walked

- I know, but I want to…

Too much sweetness in her movements, it was killing him, she helped him lay down and handed him some pain killers

- Where did you get this?

- I grab them from the Medbay, they are really useful once a month when…

- Too much information, Kylo interrupted raising his hand with his eyes closed

Rey laughed at his immature reaction and he attempted to smile, her laughter was gorgeous

- How can I know you are not attempting to kill me?, He joked with a smirk, looking up to fix his eyes on hers

- Just take them, she said handing him the bottle of pills and a glass of water

Kylo obeyed and suddenly felt his body and his conscious light; he was almost asleep when he spoke

- You know Rey, for a little scavenger you are fine, very pretty actually

Rey rolled her eyes

- Shut up Kylo

He was asleep by the time she spoke.

Rey decided to spend the night at his room just to make sure he was going to survive, even though he didn't told her; she noticed he had lost a significant quantity of blood. She wanted to go to her room and grab her pajamas because her uniform was very uncomfortable but she didn't, instead she just removed her bra and fell asleep in the big leather chair.

Kylo woke up in the middle of the night, confused, he didn't remember much but Rey helping him get to bed and giving him some medicine, he sit up feeling the aching on his body, he was used to it but either way it was not pleasant. He looked around his room and saw Rey sleeping in one of his chairs with her bra hanging in her hands, her mouth open and her neck aggressively bent, he felt a warmth in his chest, she stayed with him, she truly cared about him and he couldn't understand why.

It was 300 in the morning so they still had time to sleep; usually they started working al 1000 hours. He stood up and carried her in his arms to his bed, he could get used to that; he loved the feeling of her loose lightweight body. He lay her and noticed she was cold so he tucked her in, maybe he shouldn't make her wear such a revealing dress as a uniform in a place as cold as Starkiller Base… he was about to go to sleep on the couch when he heard her say in a breathy voice

- Don't leave me

He knew she was still asleep, probably dreaming about something else, but those words melt his heart

- Shh… I won't baby, go back to sleep.

He kissed her forehead trusting… hoping she wouldn't remember his behavior by the morning, she smiled at the sound of his deep soft voice and the feeling of his lips on her skin without opening her eyes and he threw his body against the couch; his room was completely silent so he fell asleep to the sound of her calm breathing.

Kylo's alarm woke both of them up, it was the worst sound Rey had ever listened, it sounded like an industrial alarm but way much louder… and scarier

- Fuck, Kylo, what's wrong with your alarm tone? She asked freaked out while robbing her eyes

- Sorry I'm a heavy sleeper, he answered while stretching his back and arms and immediately regretting it because of the pain he felt in his body

- Did… you sleep on the couch?

- You looked like you needed the bed more than I did, he shrugged his shoulders

- You were the injured one, by the way how are you feeling?

- Want the truth or would you like me to lie?

- I thought that…

- We have a meeting in 2 hours so go get ready, please

Wait what? Kylo Ren had actually said please to her? Rey couldn't believe it; she was used to his usual rude commanding but not to him asking her for stuff politely. She stood up and searched around the room for her things with her eyes, she spotted her coat hanging on the back of the chair and her heels scattered around it, her bra was lying near his bed. She quickly gathered everything and left.

She was leaving his room hoping no one would notice she stayed the night at Kylo's quarters when a redhead man dressed in a black suit interrupted her way

He cleared his throat

- Good morning

Fuck. She had her coat half on, her heels in one hand, her bra in the other and her hair was a mess

- Oh, uhm, Good morning general, her voice was shaky

Hux arched an eyebrow as he saw her disappear from his gaze practically running then he turned his head to knock on Kylo's door.

On the other side Kylo who was still shirtless, wounded, with a messy hair and in his pajamas pants waved his hand to open the door that allowed Hux access

Hux came in and while pressing two fingers against the bridge of his nose said

- I'm not even going to ask

- Believe me, it's not what you are thinking

- Whatever… I'm here to talk about the work that we have pending; now about those finances and the alternative applications for the Kyber crystals, before the meeting Snoke wants to know…

- Hux I'm in love, he interrupted his scolding.
