Where: All over the city
When: February 14th-February 22nd
Warnings: None

Oh shit, what even happened last night? You're pretty sure you had a normal night, no crazy drunk antics (unless that is your normal night). But this morning you woke up with a brand new tattoo, and it's... a name?

Maybe it's a name you recognize, one of your good friends. Maybe it's a stranger. Maybe it's someone you can barely stand. No matter who it is, you kind of feel like you should look for them and figure out what's going on with this weird tattoo. And when you find them - well, they've got one too, except this one is your name. It would seem weird, except as soon as you see each other you kind of understand. Of course you'd have a tattoo with the name of the person you've found such an amazing connection with. You were meant to be together.

So enjoy your time with your newfound soulmate. Who knows, you might wake up tomorrow with a whole new name on your arm, a new connection, a new love. Make the most of it!

What-? [Hux shivered as he felt Kylo push his feet away, stirring slightly but he didn't move away. Even though this was Kylo Ren, Hux's half awake mind still felt warm and secure close to him like this. He wasn't awake enough to figure out where he was.

He accidentally rubbed a foot against Kylo's leg as he shifted, sleepily trying to find a warm spot.]

Five more minutes. [And he burrowed back down, drafting off slightly again.]

Hux, get your damn feet off of me. You can have five more minutes, just without your freezing feet on me.

[ Without getting up, Kylo uses the Force to open one of the dresser drawers and get a pair of socks, floating them back over the bed. He throws them on to Hux's face and the sight almost makes him smile. Instead, he sighs, still trying to move his legs away from Hux's feet. ]

Put these on.

[Hux grunted in protest when the socks hit his face and he pulled them up as he sat up, looking at Kylo without realizing how close he must have been squished against him.]

It's not my fault my feet get cold.

[But he pulled the socks on gratefully, even if they were big on his feet. Once they were one his feet and secure, he flopped back into bed, pulling the sheets up. This time there was a few inches between him and Kylo as he was more awake though he looked ready to fall back asleep.]

At least you don't snore. [He murmured as he nestled into his pillow as deeply as he could, trying to find the warmth he had felt against Kylo without realizing it.]

Glad to know I'm not exactly like my father.

[ He was much more like Han than he cared to admit, same with his mother. He'll never be able to escape his parents, even in death, even in another galaxy. Their blood runs through him and that's something he can't get away from. He pushes the thoughts to the back of his head, not really wanting to think about that with Hux curled up in his bed, next to him.

But it's hard not to. He briefly wonders what his mother would think were she to find out the feared General of the First Order was currently snuggled up next to her son, the master of the Knights of Ren. He smiles, knowing she'd hate it. ]

You don't snore, either, by the way. You just stick your cold feet on me during your sleep.

[ Kylo turns over on to his side, face a lot closer to Hux than he realized it would be... but he doesn't move away. Hux is his soulmate, after all. ]

[Hux didn't move away either, he could feel the warmth radiating from Kylo and he liked being this close to him. He nearly apologized- Kylo was his soulmate and he could only imagine how cold his feet must have been.]

That's good...about the snoring. [He murmured, his voice still thick with sleep as he looked at Kylo. He knew that sleeping against Kylo would be warmer- had he accidentally done that in the night?- but he believed it was far too intimate for a general to allow that.]

You're not terrible to share a bed with.

[ Not really knowing what to talk about or what to do, Kylo laid there silently for a few minutes, not tired enough to fall back asleep but not really wanting to get up and start his day, either. Things were still horrible here; it had been two months since he arrived and he's hated almost every second of it with the exception of meeting and bonding with his grandfather... and now, this, whatever it is, with Hux. It's not unwelcome, but he doesn't really know what to do moving forward, wondering if these feelings will last, if this tattoo on his wrist will be a permanent fixture on his body.

He can't help but smile, though, when Hux tells him he's not terrible to share a bed with. ]

It was nice.

[ He goes silent once again, taking a deep breath. ]

You know, I met Poe Dameron after his arrival. I know that I killed the Supreme Leader.

[ Perfect time to bring this up, when they weren't actively hating being in each other's presence. ]

[Hux looked at Kylo once more, there was no surprise. But through his sleepy mind he latched onto one thing, frowning slightly.]

How would Dameron know this?

[He sat up a little, confused as he looked at Kylo. Dameron hadn't mentioned any of this when he had run into him before, neither had the traitor.]

I've met with him as well. He's insufferable, as always.

I don't know. I saw things from a place I didn't recognize, possibly memories from somewhere in another galaxy. Rey told him what happened, he knows everything.

[ He turns over on his back again, scoots a little closer to Hux but doesn't look over at him. Looking at the ceiling seems to be a little easier at the moment, especially discussing these things, things he'd been avoiding talking to Hux about. ]

I saw him making fun of you, calling you by the wrong name. A conversation with Rey about what she experienced with my uncle on Ahch-To, alongside me in the Supreme Leader's throne room. I saw my mother, injured in a blast, the traitor escaping, reuniting with Dameron. I saw myself on the ground, fighting against my uncle on Crait with my shuttle, AT-ATs, and TIE fighters behind me. I saw what was left of the Resistance all on board that piece of junk my father used to pilot.

[ Kylo sighs, closes his eyes ]

It was overwhelming, infuriating. I left him unconscious on the floor of the Colosseum... I should've killed him.

[Rey. So that was the scanger's name, He frowned even more at Kylo's words, his hand clutching the bedsheet. He didn't need to be reminded that Dameron had made a fool out of him and now to know that the Resistance had survived, even in such a limited way.

He let out a breath.]

The Resistance will be crushed easily then.

[And that was all he had to say about them.]

You should have. Painfully. But I'm sure there will be an opportunity to do so again in the future.

[ Kylo reaches over and touches Hux lightly on the arm. He knows what he said upset the other man and, to be honest, it still upsets him. He pushes the thoughts from his head and tries to focus on other things... like doing away with Dameron and the traitor.

He turns back to look at Hux and smiles. ]

Do you want to help me? You do have your blaster.

[This made Hux smile more- he doubted that Kylo would have normally made the offer but it still meant a lot anyway. And he had every intention of taking Kylo up on the offer.

He scooted a little closer to him, especially when Kylo touched his arm.]

Yes, I do want to help. I want to make him suffer for everything he's done.

[ Feeling a little encouraged, Kylo decides to scoot closer to Hux and open out his arm as a sort-of invitation for Hux should he choose to accept it. This was nice, laying in bed, talking about murdering those who got in their way and wronged them. ]

The traitor is here, too, though I've not seen him myself. I can feel it.

[Normally he would have refused steadfastly but the talk of murder was putting him in a good mood and making him feel warm all over and he accepted the offer to move closer. He felt secure- it was odd to feel like that in Kylo's arms but he decided not to think about it too much.]

He is but they will watch each other die. We'll make sure of it.

He evaded the executioner once but not again.

[ Even a week ago, Kylo would have never seen himself in the position he's in now - laying in bed, Hux in his arms, and actually enjoying it. It's hard to believe he once hated this man, spent every waking hour actively trying to one-up him, bring him down, best him in the eyes of the Supreme Leader.

But now? Now he was content, casually discussing murder with his soulmate. ]

Have you had any interaction with either man?

Yes. I warned them both of trying to do anything against us.

[There was no reason to hate each other at the moment, he couldn't imagine it now.]

They were insolent, of course, but that won't last long once we're done with them.

[Normally he would have recoiled from being so close to Kylo but the talk of murder was enough to get him to tuck his head against Kylo's shoulder comfortably.]

They would be foolish to try. Both of them are going to suffer greatly in the future, I'll see to it personally.

[ Kylo can't help but smile at the thought. It seems even better knowing that Hux will be right there with him, supporting him, even lending a hand. ]

It will be nice... just like this.

Mmm I like that.

[He yawned, closing his eyes. He could fall asleep just like this, warmed by the thoughts of the traitor and the pilot dying painfully in various ways.]
