Valentine’s Day, Jewish Kylux-style:

They had a fight that week, so Hux is not sure if they’d be celebrating Valentine’s Day that year, and Ren’s been sleeping on the base, to cool down, but Hux arrives at his office in the morning to find a unique “floral” arrangement on his desk.

His assistant keeps showing up in his office with special deliveries of little gifts – a novelty lighter, a book he’s been wanting to read, an expensive coffee blend.

There’s a meeting he must attend in the afternoon, and only when he gets there does he notice that his usual gray beret was exchanged for a red one, belonging to a very special paratroopers officer. His assistant must have got to his uniform jacket when he wasn’t looking. Hux takes his jacket off as to not draw attention to this, but he can’t stop smiling.

When he gets back to the office, there’s a note tacked on his cork board – “I missed you”, it says. Hux is out of the door in a flash, and only stops to nod to his assistant, and send him home early.

“Valentine was antisemitic, you know”, is the first thing he says to Ren when he sees him back in their living room. It’s an old joke between them – every holiday is named after an antisemite, even Purim and Tu b’Shvat.
“Tough”, says Ren, and comes over to kiss him.
They spend the evening watching Champions League, playing with Millicent, and eating take-away, and a box of candies Hux picked up on his way home.

This is a part of the same Jewish Kylux AU as Army Kylux, Holidays Kylux, and Beach Kylux.

Hux and Ren are both Officers in the IDF, Hux is in the Engineering Corps, and Ren is in the Paratroopers.

They live in a village, away from noisy cities, and they have a car and a bike – they can’t drive to work together because they serve on different bases.
They go to the beach in the summer, to clubs in Tel Aviv in the evenings occasionally, and to football games at least once a month. They eat shawarma, and run in the fields in the evening, and argue about politics (“the government sucks”, “tell me something I don’t know”), and go to the military cemetery to honour fallen brothers every year on Memorial Day. And in the evening of Independence Day, they go watch the fireworks and drink and celebrate.

Hux sometimes complains about the top brass, Ren – about new recruits being too soft, but all in all, they’re together and happy.
