Oh my good Lord, I'm updating. I need to study, but I'm updating. God have mercy on my soul.

Rey laid on the black sofa with her head in Kylo's lap, staring at the rain that trickled down the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room. Her laptop was open on her lap, but the screen was dark, and Kylo typed away on the computer perched on his thigh. "So, will you be representing yourself in court or will Lee be representing you?" she asked. Kylo quirked an eyebrow at the use of Hux's first name before shrugging.

"I plan on representing myself with Hux acting as my witness and stand-in," he said. Kylo wondered what the extent of their 'no lies' agreement entailed. Could he get away with not telling her that he was taking Faulkner 'Finn' Newell to court?

Kylo looked down at Rey whose eyes were occupied on the rain outside. Gray clouds and lightning shook outside while inside, two mugs sat at their feet, steaming. The red mug held black coffee while the blue one held warm milk.

Leaning down, Kylo pressed his lips against Rey's, kissing her absentmindedly. She responded wholeheartedly, reaching a hand out to tangle in his hair. Her soft lips gave way to his tongue and Kylo listened to thunder crashing as he kissed his girlfriend. Girlfriend. Sometimes Kylo could not believe that Rey was actually his girlfriend.

Because his house was closer to her part time job, Rey usually came by for dinner and stayed for the night. Her toothbrush sat in a cup beside his and she usually left a few sets of clothes in his closet. Little by little, Rey left an imprint in his heart and in his house.

He was torn on whether or not he should tell Rey that he was going to sue Finn. Of course, Finn deserved it; he was a traitor the First Order and Kylo was sure Finn had stolen a few of his documents when they collided into each other at Washington D.C.

"Rey," Kylo pulled away from her and kissed her forehead. "I have… I need to tell you something. No lies, right?" The way she abruptly sat up made Kylo flinch.

Rey turned to face him and crossed her legs. "What is it?" she asked.

Kylo shut his laptop and set it aside. "I'm suing Finn Newell for theft," he stated. The statement hung between them.

Rey blinked. She blinked again.

"I must be hearing things. Either that or you know another Finn Newell that you are suing," she said. Kylo took a deep breath before shaking his head.

"I have evidence that he stole documents from First Order," he explained. Rey rubbed her temples and closed her eyes.

"Are you fucking kidding me? Finn would never steal anything!" she exclaimed. "I know him and-"

"Rey, listen-"

"I know he wouldn't ever do anything to hurt anyone- no matter how much he despises your company," she continued. Kylo bit his lip and sighed.

"Babe, the evidence is there. I'm suing Finn," he said. Rey bit her tongue as she stared at him. His unruly hair and dead-set eyes.

"I think," she paused, choosing the right words, "I'm going to go home and tell my best friend that my boyfriend is suing him," she said, sliding off of the sofa. Kylo watched as Rey went into his bedroom.

"Rey, it's raining outside. Just stay the night and go on your path for vengeance tomorrow," Kylo called out. The door was slammed open and Rey stormed out with her Taekwondo bag under one arm and a pair of running shoes in her hand. "Rey, it's not a big-"

"Not a big-" Rey turned and glared at Kylo. "What the fuck is 'not a big deal' about you, a lawyer with strong credentials, suing a college kid that didn't do anything wrong?"

"If he wins the case, I'll back off," Kylo said. "Rey, just stay; it's raining."

Rey gave Kylo a hard look before shoving her shoes into her bag and snatching her car keys off of the countertop. "I'll call you when I've calmed down," she snapped before slinging her jacket on and pulling the hood over her hair.

Kylo stood and jogged over to where Rey was, reaching forward and grabbing her arm. He pinched the loose material of her jacket, holding her back by the sleeve. "Come on, Rey, it's not that big of a deal," he protested. Rey's eyes closed momentarily before she turned to face Kylo.

"Kylo, you know that Finn is the same age as me, right?" she asked. Kylo frowned but nodded. "And you know that I'm a senior in college, right?" Rey raised an eyebrow.

"Yes…" Kylo grimaced as he tried to find a tactical way to evade her questions.

"You may know this because you graduated from Harvard, but college kids- no matter what university we go to- usually have outstanding amounts of debt. I have debt and so does Finn. I strongly suggest you withdraw this case because Finn's already broke; he doesn't need you demanding money from him," she growled. Kylo looked down at his girlfriend and pressed his lips together. Shaking his head, he persisted.

"I'm still going through with-"

Rey wriggled from his grip and opened the front door, stepping out into the hallway. The door slammed shut and Kylo swore. He turned towards the flexible, metal can that held his umbrellas and picked it up and chucked it at the nearest wall. It bounced off the wood without even leaving a mark and Kylo snatched an umbrella off of the ground, jerking his front door open and running out, barefoot. The people in the hallway stared at him as he sprinted towards the elevator and tapped his bare foot, cursing under his breath.

He opened the umbrella when he reached the first floor of the building and sprinted past neighbors, through the rain, straight towards where Rey was running towards her car, her hood covering her head from the pouring rain. "Rey! Come on, babe!" Kylo sprinted out towards her and shielded his girlfriend from the rain.

Rey paused when she felt the rain cease against her shoulders and she sighed. "Have you decided to apologize and rescind your file against my best friend?" she hissed, staring up at the older man. Kylo's hard stare met hers and Rey shook her head, "I can't believe-"

"I can't believe you're being such a pain about this! If he wins the case then I won't do anything!" he shouted at her.

"And if he loses? Are you going to take whatever money he has left? Are you going to send him to jail? I don't think you're the type to settle and I know you aren't going to play fair!" she jabbed a finger into his chest and Kylo scoffed.

"You're accusing me of- Rey, what the fuck?!" They were making a spectacle of themselves and a small crowd had amassed at the edge of the building and Kylo's neighbors watched as their extremely tall, basketball-shorts clad neighbor argued in the pouring rain with his extremely short girlfriend.

"Maybe it's time we had a break!" Kylo shouted off the top of his head. "We've been dating for a few months, but I think you're… I think you're overbearing and annoying!" he snapped, regretting his words immediately. Rey's expression turned livid and she seemed to grow taller with anger.

"Annoying? You weren't saying that when I was fucking you last night! Maybe it is time we took a break!" Rey's voice cracked and Kylo nodded slowly.

"Right… Yeah, I think we should-" he stopped. "Fuck! Rey, come on, I don't-"

"No-no! I wouldn't want to overbear my annoying self in your presence," her tone was patronizing and Rey bit her bottom lip. She looked down, breaking their incessant eye contact. "I'm going home," she sighed before stepping out from the protection of the umbrella.

Kylo watched as Rey ran to her car and unlocked it, tossing her bag in. His bare feet were freezing from the cold, but he remained in his spot as she started her car. "Rey, come on! Rey!"

The white Jeep pulled away from the parking lot and Kylo pulled at his hair. "Fuck!" Shouting, he chucked his umbrella and did not even bat an eye when the howling wind carried it away.
