Oh look at that, emotions. Is this what they call fluff? Well then it only gets fluffier from here.

Rey's POV:

He's been gone a while.

I felt his emotions. He was really upset. I was sitting outside waiting in the grass.

"So you're close to Finn?"

I looked over my shoulder then back at my flower crown I'd been weaving. I used to make these all the time for Ben and I.

Poe sat next to me.

"Yeah we went through some..crazy stuff."

"Didn't we all?" He chuckled.

We both looked forward.

"I have to tell you Rey, you didn't make a right choice coming here. With him."

I looked over at the pilot.

"I mean come on. He's done all of us wrong, even you. You're the only one that has the power to dispose of him once and for all and-"

I stood up, dropping the flowers.

"No. I won't."

I began running back inside.

A hand caught my arm.

"No!"

I spun around. Kylo had me in his arms.

"What's wrong?"

I felt tears coming up but hid my face into his chest before he could see. I let myself completely fall into him.

So many wanted to see him dead and wanted me to be the one to kill him.

I rested my cheek on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

He placed a hand on the back of my neck and rubbed his thumb up and down. His arm stayed locked around my waist.

It's not fair. He makes it so difficult for me to go against him.

I know I'm just going to fall even harder for him.

Kylo's POV:

This time we left without Chewie and R2. Luke was actually there and also saw us off.

I told Rey where The Finalizer was and she seemed to know exactly where I was talking about.

I stayed in the copilot seat since she needed one except I wasn't any help.

"Okay now turn off the blasters and shields."

I looked around. "Where?"

She reached over me and flipped a few switches.

A siren went off.

"Crap. The converters need to be changed."

We were in light speed already.

"Hold on."

She stood up and her stomach was right next to my face as she fixed something above my head.

I turned my head the other way and began to think of over things. If I let my mind wander, my emotions would take over and she would feel it.

"Got it."

She was back in her seat.

If Snoke wasn't right before, he was right now. She definitely was my weakness.

She landed the Falcon with ease.

No one was stopping us. The ramp waslet down.

"Kylo."

She grabbed my hand.

"I know. We'll be alright."

She didn't let go of my hand as we walked down. Stiffly standing stormtroopers were lined up as we walked past them, leading us to Hux.

"Welcome back. Oh and I see you've pulled through for once."

I exhaled, trying my best not to punch him.

"Rey, this is General Hux."

Hux offered a hand. She took it lightly. When he started bringing it to his lips she shrunk back.

Hux straightened himself. "A little to forward? Shall we?" Hux walked inside and we followed.

"The First Order is like nothing you've seen before, Miss Rey. We are very organized and prominent in our bidding. No matter what the cost, our determination is key. That's why Supreme Leader wants you so badly."

We enter into the dormitory hall.

"Here is where you can rest after your tiresome day of successes."

He reached for hand and she gave it to him. He placed her hand on the door scanner and it opened.

"This is your room you shall be staying in for the time being. I hope it suits your needs."

She looked up and around.

Hux bowed his head then looked at me. "Snoke wants to see her once she's settled."

He left us alone.

I rubbed the back of my neck. Shit. The nightmares and restless sleep will come back.

"I'll come back later-"

"Wait."

I turned my back to her. I felt her fear. "Don't worry about it."

I left the room and leaned against the closed door, letting out a heavy sigh.

The girl I've been trying so hard to protect is now going to slip through my fingers all over again. Ten years later and I've still failed.
