Look at that, a surprise guest. This chapter is short but stay tuned for the next. Things are about to get heated in the reylo trash compactor.
Rey's POV:
I felt something soft touch my nose a few times and then something wet and scratchy touch my cheek.
I didn't think that would wake me up.
I opened my eyes to an orange cat staring me in the face.
"Huh?"
A low rumbling sound came from its chest so I pet it. "Hello there."
I sat up and it kept nudging at my hand.
My door clicked opened and Kylo walked in.
"Oh look at that. You met the devil cat."
"Aw but it's so nice."
The orange cat nudged up against my arm, still purring.
"That's Hux's cat, Millicent. She's evil."
I rolled my eyes. "Just pet her."
"You don't believe me? Fine."
He reached in to pet her and she immediately swatted at him, ears going back. Her purr turning into a growl.
"Yeah well you're a piece of shit cat."
I laughed. The cat looked up and meowed at me before purring again.
"Are you feeling okay? You were blasted by a stun shot."
I rubbed my neck. So that's what that was.
"Yes."
"Good because I'm never letting you do that again."
I didn't want to argue. He was truly worried. Not only could I see that but I could feel it.
"I won't. Only because you were so jealous."
"What?"
I smiled. "You were so jealous today."
"I was not!" As much as he wanted to deny it, we share a bond.
He stood up and folded his arms.
"Let me at least think that you were, okay?"
"Why?"
"It makes me feel better," I said without thinking.
The cat jumped off and I laid down, facing my back to him.
Kylo's POV:
She moved so swiftly, I could never compare. Sure I was skilled, but she made it look beautiful.
I'd been training her with a lightsaber for about a week. She was twirling it around on her own.
I leaned against the doorframe, watching her pridefully.
Remembering the past week and when we first began, she was a mess. Now she was graceful and swift in her strides, possibly better than me. I guess I was breaking the rules. I wasn't teaching her in the way of the Dark Side but I was teaching her
what Luke wouldn't.
I went in a daze with her delicate movements.
Rey huffed as she wiped sweat off her brow. "I think I'm done for today."
I never thought she'd look so good after training. She walked up to me and smiled. I furrowed my eyebrows at her, trying to hide my feelings.
