He should have expected it, Hux sighed. He could see the madness behind Ren’s eyes, flaring with every glance in his direction, the tics and little twitches.
And then the muttering had started.
“Watching and waiting. Need to keep him close.”
Now as he lay awake, fists clenched in the fabric of his sheets, Hux wondered just how far this was going to go. Ren lay behind him, one arm securely wrapped around his waist, holding Hux tight against his chest. He knew he should protest, but truth be told, the warmth was not unwelcome. Ren was solid, a steady pressure rising and falling with every breath, almost soothing. Still though, for the sake of his pride, Hux had to say something.
“Supreme Leader, is this really necessary.” It was token resistance and he knew it.
Ren shifted, pressing his nose to the base of Hux’s skull and breathing deep. His voice was low and velvet soft, “I know your mind, Hux. I know you want to betray me. That is why I’m keeping you close.”
“If you keep me any closer you’ll be inside of me.” Hux whispered and felt the smallest gasp against his skin.
“Would you like that, Hux? I can do that.” Ren’s voice had changed, a hint of uncertainty worming its way into the deep tones. Hux groaned internally, hating the thrill that had shot through him at those words. He dug his fingers into the blanket, curling it further around him in a protective cocoon.
“Fuck you, Ren.”
“That could work, too. If you want to. Do you want to?”
Hot breath made the hair rise on the back of Hux’s neck, sending shivers down every inch of his spine.
Ren was mad, he knew that, more and more delusions clouding his already fractured mind.
And yet…the undisguised eagerness in Ren’s voice sparked someting within Hux, something he could perhaps use.
“You like this, don’t you Ren? You like having someone close.” Hux said shifting his hips, sliding his ass up and down the length of Ren’s cock, half-hard and already starting to twitch. “Are you lonely, Supreme Leader?”
Ren shuddered, pulling Hux even closer and pressing his lips to his neck. His hand trailed across Hux’s stomach, leading down to brush across his thigh.
Hux took Ren’s hand in his own, twining their fingers together and bringing it to his lips. Feeling Ren’s pulse quicken beneath his fingertips, he smiled into the darkness.
“Come now, Ren, let me keep you close.”
Look at this wonderful addition! I love this so much!
Summary: Ren admits this, all of this, is far from under control.
Written for the @keepinghimclose event to celebrate the TLJ novelization.
Notes:
This started as 5 times Hux tried to kill Ren, and one time he succeeded. I couldn’t bring myself to follow through with the character death, so *spoiler alert* that doesn’t actually happen. I ended up with hate sex, lots of messy feelings and a Millicent guest appearance. Also, I’m pretty sure there are more than 5 attempts to kill Ren… In conclusion, I failed at my own prompt. *shrugs* Enjoy?
1.
It’s all under control.
Ren releases the Force hold he has on Hux. He only meant to keep him still long enough to prove something to both of them—this can be good, they can be good for each other when it’s slow and deliberate, rolling toward something deeper rather than their usual sudden collision, two starships tearing each other into oblivion, crushed into the background of an empty sky.
Hux rolls them, squirming from under Ren’s body. He claws his way on top of Ren, digging his knees in and growling when he slides down Ren’s cock once again.
Shaking with angry need, Hux gets his hot fingers around Ren’s neck. Applies pressure with his palms into either side of Ren’s windpipe and pushes, bearing down with his whole body. It isn’t enough to completely restrict Ren’s breathing, but the possibility of it makes Ren heave, anticipating the moment when Hux will go too far and Ren will have to stop him.
